R.Edward Miller - Love

6 Videos and the biography of R. Edward Miller













On March 27, 1917, Robert Edward Miller was born in Alsea, Oregon, U.S.A. He is the son of Dr. Buford Charles Miller, a Baptist minister, who came into the full gospel message through the ministry of the well known Aimee Semple McPherson. He was used by the Lord in the healing ministry with Dr. Charles S. Price and pioneered many large churches with his team of young people in Southeastern Oregon.

After his father's untimely death, Edward Miller, at the early age of 11, spent ten years working on the farm of his aunt and uncle. Separated from his peers and locked into long hours of farm labor, he learned to pray. His Bible was his companion. One day, while working in the fields, he had an encounter with God and a genuine conversion.

Attending Bible College in Southern California, he again experienced the Presence of the Lord like he had as a child in the field on the farm. During his college years, there were many days when classes were suspended, because the Holy Spirit visited them. During these days of prayer and seeking God, he was challenged to some day go to the mission field.

After Bible College, he took up his first pastorate among the Chiloquin Indians in Chiloquin, Oregon. After this, he then moved to Bandon, Oregon to pastor his second church.

Years later “The Haven of Rest” and the "Crew of the Good Ship Grace" (a radio broadcast) financially sponsored the Millers, enabling them to go to South America to answer the call of God to become missionaries in a foreign land. On their way to South America, the ship was detained in Puerto Rico due to the United State’s involvement in the war with Japan. They remained in Puerto Rico for a couple of years, ministering evangelistically and in several churches. After this time, they continued on down to Montevideo, Uruguay's capitol city, where they ministered for several years in tent evangelism and pioneered a full gospel church. Dr. Miller then moved down to Argentina, which, unknown to him, was to become his "life work."

In the fall of 1948, he went to Mendoza, Argentina at the foot of the South American Andes Mountains. There, tired of “church as usual”, he set himself apart to intensely seek the Lord for 8 hours every day. He had to discover for himself, the same power that he had seen in other ministries and churches as a child. After several months, his prayers were answered and he experienced a dynamic encounter with God. Shortly afterward, a move of the Holy Spirit broke out in the church which he was pastoring. (The story of the moving of the Holy Spirit in Mendoza is related in his book, "Secrets of the Argentine Revival").

He spent many years in Argentina as a missionary, ministering in crusades as an evangelist and witnessing many supernatural miracles and conversions. He not only pioneered several churches, but traveled to many churches throughout the country where spontaneous visitations of God would break forth. He founded a Bible School in the city of Mar del Plata, Argentina, where for several years there was an unusual move of the Holy Spirit and a manifestation of God’s Presence. Many of the students went on to serve the Lord, founding churches in many provinces of the country.

Dr. Miller also began an orphanage for abandoned children, which became very well known in the city of Mar del Plata. By faith, God brought in offerings to construct all the buildings.

The Millers remained in Argentina until 1974, strengthening the Peniel churches and working with their sons, Robert and John, and adoptive daughter Annie.

The Holy Spirit had spoken to the Millers, telling them that they were to go forth to churches in various other nations to strengthen their faith for an onward move into the purposes of God. So in March 1974, they left the work in Argentina to move into a larger harvest field. For the next six and one-half years they traveled around the world several times, ministering in numerous countries, including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East and the United Kingdom.

In 1980 they returned to the United States, where God directed them to begin a work in Atlanta, Georgia. With a small group of about a dozen hungry believers, Peniel Bible Assemblies began with prayer and bible studies in one of the homes. As God began to sovereignly draw others to the fellowship from neighboring areas - as well as from other states and countries - it was necessary to find a larger place to meet, as the number of those desirous of moving into the purposes of God continually increased. Eventually, property was purchased and a church built to seat 700 people, which soon was filled. A tremendous move of the Spirit of God took place during the years of 1986 to 1994. Too numerous to mention here, are the countless testimonies of those who had life-changing encounters with God as He manifested His Presence, Glory and power.

Once again the Millers felt led to travel overseas. This time most of their efforts were spent ministering in Taiwan and Malaysia. The impact of God’s sovereign move through their ministry there, lasted for many years, with thousands of lives changed. So much so, that China’s “eternal First Lady” Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, asked to have an interview with him. She also had him flown to her private residence to pray for one of her family members.

Dr. R. Edward Miller has authored a number of books and has an extensive library of audio messages, which continue to minister to many around the world. His rich insight into the Scriptures and the Presence of God in his personal life, have brought spiritual awakening and enrichment to many who have desired a deeper walk with God.

In their final years, the Miller’s returned to Argentina, where God called both of them to their eternal home with Himself.  from revival carriers.org

Job part 2 - The Righteousness of Job - Annalize Mouton



I have searched the Lord's heart on "death to self" or "dying to self" now for quite a long time, and this is what He has shown me: Job was a man who had completely died to a selfhood apart from God. He was alive only to a God that he knew to be his friend and through whose goodness alone, he was clothed with His righteousness. And if you think that Job didn't know about that, please read and then resolve within yourself to once and forever not know yourself or any other person after the flesh, but only after His spirit within them!

If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, then…your light will break out like the dawn, and your recovery will speedily spring forth; and your righteousness will go before you; the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.'

If we do not put on the righteousness of God, everything in our lives will run out. The same as happened to the prodigal. Our finances, our health, our wisdom, our strength, whatever we considered to be ours. We have to return to our Father/our Origin and be clothed upon with Himself, His life, His Righteousness, His garment, and live in His abundance of life and everything else. Where does this returning (repentance) happen? In our minds, our awareness, consciousness, our thinking and eventually the words we speak and the works we do. For us to enjoy the full benefits of our Father’s house we need to have our consciences purged by fire of the dead works of our wandering-years and the resulting shame and guilt. When we return, we find that our Father has all the time been waiting for us, and He comes running towards us with outstretched arms and is not even interested in us confessing our sins or becoming his servants. Why? Because in His mind we are, has been and always will be His very own beloved children, made in His image and likeness. If that was not the absolute, unshakeable TRUTH, Adam and Eve would have been put to death immediately, and God would just have had to start all over with creating another man. The blood of goats and bulls could never take away sin, and it never did. Our God is terribly fearsome in His fiery Holiness and I really do not think we have even caught a tiny glimpse of that yet. Just think about all the preparations and coverings and sacrifices needed for service in and entering the tabernacle of Moses! All to allow frail human beings like us to come into His Manifested Presence/a Pillar of Fire/Thunderings and Lightnings. In His presence no sin can be and no sinful person can ever stand – we all would be fried to crisp and ashes immediately. Think about it. After Adam and Eve sinned, they knew they’ve had it! They had lost their light covering and were desperately trying to cover themselves with something so as not to be annihilated immediately! Yet, here comes God as usual, in the cool of the day (hear what these words are saying of Him who is a consuming fire, eternal burning) and He seeks them out! He calls for them, as if they had never sinned! And as He covers them so that they might be able to stand upright in His presence again, they found out that He has had a covering prepared for them – His own spotless Life Blood, Lamb, Jesus Christ slain before the foundation of the earth. The cross on which sin died in the heart of Father God even before He made man.

Now, take another look at Job: There is what God says and continues to say about Job right through until the end. Then we also read what satan says about him, his friends, and Job himself. God’s word about Job – to satan in the heavenly court, to Job’s friends and eventually to Job himself, and Job's own words about himself and God somehow line up (agree):

In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.

God: 1:8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”

God: 2:3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.” (He has kept his faith in me despite the fact that you persuaded me to let you harm him without any cause.)

Eliphaz: 5:8 “If I were you, I would go to God and confess my sins (present my case) to him.

Job: 6:29 “Desist now, let there be no injustice; even desist, my righteousness is yet in it.”

Bildad: 8:6 If you are pure and upright, surely now He would rouse Himself for you and restore your righteous estate.

Zophar: 11:4 you have said, ‘My teaching is pure, and I am innocent in your eyes.’

Job: 12:4 I am a joke to my friends, the one who called on God and He answered him; the just and blameless man is a joke.

Job: 13:15 Nevertheless, I am going to argue my case with Him. This at least will be in my favour, that I am not godless, to be instantly rejected from His presence. …This is my case: I know that I am righteous.

Eliphaz: 15:14 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

Job: 16:17 Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high. My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God; on behalf of a man he pleads with God as one pleads for a friend.

Job: 17:13 and 14 (Now remember here that the name Job also means Who is my Father?) If I say to corruption (death), ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’ where then is my hope – who can see any hope for me? (So many think that death has fathered them and is their salvation! But not so Job.)

Bildad: 18:5 The truth remains that if you do not prosper, it is because you are wicked.

Job: 19:3 Ten times now you have declared me a sinner.

Job: 19:25 But as for me [Job] I know that my Redeemer lives …this body shall see God. Then He will be on my side. Yes, I shall see Him, not as a stranger, but as a friend! What a glorious hope!

Eliphaz: 22:4 Is it because you are good that He is punishing you? Not at all! It is because of your wickedness! Your sins are endless!

Job: 23:10 He knows every detail of what is happening to me; and when He has examined me, He will pronounce me completely innocent – as pure as solid gold!

Bildad: 25:4 How can a mere man stand before God and claim to be righteous?

Job: 27:2 I vow… that as long as I live …my lips shall speak no evil… I will never, never agree that you are right; until I die I will vow my innocence. I am not a sinner – I repeat it again and again. My conscience is clear for as long as I live.

Job: 29:14 …righteousness was my clothing.

Job: 31:35 Look, I will sign my signature to my defence; now let the Almighty show me that I am wrong; let Him approve the indictments made against me by my enemies.

32:1 The three men refused to reply further to Job because he kept insisting on his innocence. Then Elihu became angry because Job refused to admit he had sinned and to acknowledge that God had just cause for punshing him.

Elihu: 32:11 I have waited all this time … but not one of them has convinced Job that he is a sinner, or has proved that he is.

Elihu: 33:8 You have said it in my hearing … again and again. ‘I am pure, I am innocent; I have not sinned.’

Elihu: 34:7 Who else is as arrogant as Job?

God to Eliphaz: 42:8 I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not been right in what you have said about me, as my servant Job was … and my servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer on your behalf, and won’t destroy you as I should because of your sin [which they insisted on they have] your failure to speak rightly concerning my servant Job.

How did Job overcome his friend's (acting as the accuser here) accusations and ended up being blessed so outrageously by God again? By having a clear conscience before God and men, by clothing himself with righteousness, and casting down the arguments and speculations of proud men against the knowledge of God’s own righteousness, goodness and kindness [shown toward men in Christ Jesus].

Job stood firm on his knowledge of God, the rock of his salvation.

Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb [slain before the foundations of the earth], and by the word of their testimony [again and again and not agreeing with the accuser]; and they loved not their lives unto the death [even though He slay me, I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES AND I SHALL SEE HIM IN MY FLESH].

Most of us are at a breaking point: we have run out of our own resources (the inheritance of life that we received at our natural birth). We need healing in our bodies, finances, restoration in relationships… our oil has been depleted… we need life and that in abundance in every area of our lives. And everyone around us, our families, friends, nations, are all in dire need of Abundant God-kind of Life.

We have to understand that what we are contending for is the double portion, which belongs to the eldest son, the First Born! Therefore it is crucial for us to enter fully into the life of Jesus Christ, God Himself. He is the First Born. And then we receive of His fullness all spiritual blessings! Everything! And this is something we have to do ourselves. The Spirit within us bears witness that we are the sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. As He is, so are we. Clothe yourself with the Righteousness of God. Agree with who and what God says you are. Do it today! The prodigal came to his senses – his right mind, the mind of Christ. Paul says: we have the mind of Christ. Have you come to your right mind, yet?

Colossians 1:15 -23 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behaviour. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, [and I, Annalize Mouton], have become a servant.

Job part 1 - The Unveiling in flesh - Annalize Mouton

A few years ago the Lord opened the book of Job to me more, and had me study it with Revelation and the Gospels, Romans and Hebrews. It is time I believe to share just some of it (this is by no means complete, there is so much more, but time and space do not allow me to touch on more now – only an appetizer to whet your appetite to really, diligently search out the hidden things of God, to sit at His feet and be taught of Him – He will surely give us the treasures of darkness, share with us the secret of the snow). I pray that the eyes of our understanding may be opened so that we would be able to compare spiritual truth with spiritual. And I would love to hear what the Spirit reveals to you or had revealed to you.

Most of the interpretations or commentaries available on this very old book (some say oldest) do not look at the whole story of Job through “the finished work of the cross”. And without that, much of it will stay hidden, obscure. This is a book about the awakening of Job to his origin, to who his Father is and who he was and who everyone else was/is – The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring. (Acts 17)

It really is the unveiling, the revelation of Jesus Christ and His generation, the Morning Star and the morning stars, a corporate, many membered Spiritual Man, the New Jerusalem, Zion from whom the mature Sons of God are being birthed one here, one there. Also always keep in mind that Hebraic thinking is circular and not linear – this is a story that began in ages past, is, and shall be – as in the beginning, so it shall be in the end. In the beginning God …When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

It is a move from a fear-based religion to an intimate knowledge of Love and Life. It is the story of a home-coming… of a servant becoming a mature Son/huios.

Everything in this book – all names and numbers, the symbolism, everything is extremely important and revealing.

So brothers and sisters, sons of God, morning stars, please: Consider My servant Job!

Behold, …My servant the Branch. … Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, the son of Man and the Son of God, the suffering servant …He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.. In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious. …Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD. …I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

The meaning of the name Job in Hebrew has been debated. Possible meanings range from "to show hostility”, "enemy of God", ”alienated”, "repent" or “return”, 'he who turns (to God)’, “No Father” or “Where Is My Father?”.

The name Uz is mentioned several times in the Bible. In Genesis Uz is the son of Aram, a direct descendant of Shem. Genesis 10:23
The word may also be related etymologically to the word oz, meaning 'east'.In the Book of Job (1:3), Job is described as "the greatest of all the people of the East.”

The first word applied to Job is "blameless" which is a translation of the Hebrew word tam – a word often used to describe sacrificial animals that were required to be without blemish or perfect. (Jesus the spotless Lamb of God) The second word describing Job was "upright." (My Righteous One) This word meant that Job faithfully obeyed God’s laws. (In Him was no sin) This included justice and mercy in the treatment of other people. (Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.) The third description of Job is a brief phrase, "he feared God." The fear of God is the highest expression in the Wisdom literature to describe wisdom. The fourth description is the phrase, "he turned away from evil.”

The numbers three and seven appear twice and five plus five or ten is mentioned once. The numbers three, seven, and ten were frequently used in the Bible to symbolize completeness. There was nothing that Job lacked materially in the culture in which he lived. The full measure of God’s blessing can be seen in verse 2 where the text states that Job had seven sons and three daughters. Both Ruth 4:15 and I Samuel 2:5 describe seven children as the ideal number. Job is further blessed in that he has seven sons, which were more favored than daughters, plus three daughters. (Compare this with his possessions, sons and daughters at the end).

Job 1:6 and on… Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (the adversary, the accuser, the law) came also among them. And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Where did this happen? Within Job. Jesus said: the kingdom of heaven is within, God dwells within … His throne is within …Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. …"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”

Look at the whole process set loose by God’s words! Tribulation, severe hardships, a shaking of everything that could possibly be shaken – accumulated things, son and daughters, mindsets, Job had trouble on all sides. Sickness and death as if to say, see Job, this is what all your serving God and sacrifices and offerings brought you – you’re just a poor, abandoned sinner, curse God and die like a mere man! Dust to dust, ashes to ashes… Job’s persistent cry though: I am righteous, even though He slay me, I know My Redeemer lives. …our faith will be like gold that has been tested in a fire. And these trials will prove that your faith is worth much more than gold that can be destroyed.

Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar heard of Job’s terrible losses and agreed to go to Job and comfort him. Again, look at the meaning of their names and their reasonings:

Eliphaz – “God is fine gold”, “God is his strength”, “the endeavor of God“.
He was Son of Esau by Adah, and father of Teman, Kenaz and Amalek (Genesis 36:4,10; 1 Chronicles 1:35). The Temanitee were celebrated for their wisdom, as we learn from Jeremiah, who says (Jeremiah 49:7), "Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?" Job's friend was probably among their wisest men at the time; and his discourses certainly show a considerable knowledge of human nature.

Bildad’s name consists of two elements, but there's no consensus on which ones those are.
The first part of the name comes from the Babylonian divine name Bel, which is closely related to the name Baal, and means Lord: other sources further agree that the second part of the name Bildad comes from the verb ידד (yadad), which probably means to love: Hence, Bel Has Loved. Also son of contention, old friendship.

Zohar – “rising early”, “crown”, “sparrow or chirping”, “tsphar, meaning doubtful, supposed from root meaning "to leap” (to hinge on two thoughts? a double-minded man?)

All of them basically accused Job and his children of sin and therefore they themselves were responsible for the destruction of their lives.

Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.… Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ… For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, "He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness. The carnal mind is at enmity with God. be renewed in your mind… put on the mind of Christ.

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

God might kill me, but I have no other hope. I am going to argue my case with him. My Redeemer lives! And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.

Then God spoke to Job and he “saw” Him. And what does God say to Him? Amongst others: Job don’t you remember, come on Job, wake up! Put on your garment of splendour, gird the loins of your mind… Don’t you remember Job…let’s reason together… Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me…Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy? …Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years! … Come on, Job, wake up!

And as happened to Moses, Isaiah, Paul, John on Patmos, so it happened with Job: My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.
…”For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty. …And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. … No flesh can see God and live … No man has seen God at any time; The Only Begotten God Who is in the bosom of The Father, he has declared him. …Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. …For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then shall I know, even as also I am known. And what is this knowing? And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. …I pray for them… that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

One with the Father, Job becomes a Father after God’s own heart. And only then could he, Job, birth the man-child, the spotless bride, male and female – the generation of Jesus Christ. And inherit the kingdom prepared before time. The LORD blessed the latter days of Job (the spiritual man) more than his beginning (the natural man); and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. He had seven sons and three daughters.…

The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers (Job 42:14-15).

The names again are significant, and here are their meanings:
• Jemimah means “dove”, a symbol of peace …
Keziah is another spelling of the word cassia = incense or a fragrance … For we are a sweet odour of Christ to God
Keren-Happuch literally means “the horn of adornment”, beautifier – and is a reference, therefore, to the outward beauty that comes from an inward character.

Secondly, Job gave the girls an inheritance, as well as to their brothers. According to the Old Testament, the inheritance was only given to the males of the family and not the females. The sons were given an inheritance. The only reason girls were given an inheritance was if there father were to die without having a male heir (Numbers 27:8). If a girl were given an inheritance then she was not allowed to marry anyone other than a man from here father’s tribe. God did not allow the inheritance of one tribe to pass along to another tribe (Numbers 36).

"Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
“O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
“Behold, I have created the blacksmith
Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.

Let's Get To The Heart of the Submission Doctrine

Having spoken out so strongly again about Apostolic Covering I want to teach this one clearly.
Graham Cooke, Bill Johnson,Rick Joyner and others who talk on the Courts of Heaven and Protocols of heaven RIGHTFULLY observe there is a LINE of AUTHORITY but this is where their teaching becomes false.Not just false. It is the very method the devil has used to hook Kenneth Copeland up with the Pope and Rick Joyner up with the Order of Malta.

Our generation were told that Gifts were given by the Ascended Christ....first apostles then prophets etc.The teaching then went out that we had to be in a line of submission in order for any of our prayers to get answered and for us all to grow.

Around 1949 when Ed Miller was seeking God to see a breakthrough in Argentina, the Lord did far more than Ed planned for. For a start tthe revival that came through Tommy Hicks was immense, filling complete stadia as thousands literally got healed. But far more than that God began opening up the realm of the thirdlevel church, a pattern Ed taught for the rest of his earthly life seeing four or five more revivals. For the Melchizedek Order, or Holiest Place order is where revivals are triggered from. This is the protocol Jesus entered when He was baptised in the Spirit, and it is the same realm He is catching or rapturing His saints into as they finally wake up to what was theory before.....that they are a Kingdom of Kings and Priests unto God. However in 1949 an angel appeared to them and specifically warned them by name that Fort Lauderdale would be a false movement.
Can you imagine, when my whole foundation in 1976 had come through most of these men? Don Basham started the Holy Spirit move in 1967 in my hometown. Derek Prince was someone we all listened to. And who could fail to notice the way Ern Baxter was being used in the Bible Weeks? These were the Fort Lauderdale Ministries.

But my role as a teacher in the Body of Christ is to teach truth where there is error.
And using an explanation of Ed Miller himself I want to really press home what is actually true.

The first generation of leaders in this new corporate Kingdom vision have not really spent long enough getting the heavenly blueprint. If we take a phrase of St Paul....
about the ascended Christ giving gifts unto men of apostles and prophets and superimpose this upon our own worldly thinking about authority, what we end up with is the current bondages in the church.

SUBMISSION coupled with the spirit of this world means the same as ISLAM.
Islam actually means submission.

"You are not to lord it over one another as is the custom of gentiles"
Jesus said "Call no man Father". So Catholics do precisely that, and call a man Father or POPE.

So how are we to reconcile things?
In the Spirit it is easy.
Ed Miller explains.
All ministries are like Taxi Drivers to the Throne of God but they do it free of charge. There are no meters running. When people are at the throne of God the taxi Drivers drop them off and leave them there.
Ministries in the New Covenant are eunuchs. They minister but don't involve themselves to their gain. They bring Word. They say the things God is saying. Even things of rule and authority, then they shut up.

Ministries train people within the New Covenant to hook up with the Melchizedek Order at the throne of God for themselves. The New Covenant is real, which specifically states "and no man shall teach or say to his brother know the Lord for all shall know Me from the least to the greatest."

Until people's own inner hearing is sorted, we have to bring Word to awaken that special piece of equipment. But once the New Covenant is up and running in someone's life then they will see the Kingdom as well or better than us who taught them.

When we speak of alignment it is purely in terms of the Throne of God, but apostolic ministries are good descriptions of what Kind David wrote in Psalm 84.
Blessed are they whose strength is in Thee, in whose hearts are the highways to Zion. They go into valleys of weeping and they make it a place of streams.

Ministries stand or fall on their Holy Spirit authority, not on human badges. When Paul was disciplining the Corinthian guy for sleeping with his father's new wife....the most interesting thing for me is this phrase....

when you are gathered
and the Holy Spirit is present
and my spirit is among you...

which is kind of a package that is a bit mystical....but I take it to mean in a similar way to Jorge Pradas or Ed Miller....who just needed to be present in a meeting and it was like their authority created an "open heaven" in a church gathering.
John 2 describes mature ministries as thse who know the One who is from the Beginning. They are beyond winds of doctrine....they just KNOW GOD...in their hearts are the very highways to Zion....they are connected to the Melchizedek order. They are like wifi broadband units giving clear sattellite reception through to the Throne of God. It's not that they exercise earthly rulership in the manner of lording it over people. Why would you need to do that if you are showing others how to connect with the Melchizedek order themselves?

Not even Jesus healed everybody in Jerusalem....there were some left for the apostles. Jesus certainly did hardly anything in Nazareth. Yet Jesus had that direct confrontation with the Enemy, in the wilderness and binding the strong man gained a potential certificate of ministry over Israel. It was limited to Israel and those who had so much faith they literally pulled involvement out of Him....like the Canaanite woman and the Roman centurion. But this modern charismatic idea of authority over geographies for earthly rule and lording it over congregation members is just total baloney.....not evenJesus had that....as witnessed at His trial.Jesus had nothing on those 12 disciples who just walked off. If the same had happened to Bill Johnson or Rick Joyner they would have set their staff on them and harangued them with something. This is a correction of thinking that needs to go right into the whole of the current charismatic networks of churches.

Let's Have a Teach In Day ? God idea or good idea?



Benjamin Conway Pastor UK on Facebook writes
Out street witnessing this evening with some fabulous people from the Tree.
We spoke and prayed with a few people in the freezing cold.
Some young lads listened and took gopels of Luke. Then we prayed with them we began to speak in tongues and prophesy over them. At the end they were hugging us and saying that was awesome what was that? It sounded like Elvish can I learn that please if I come to church? How cool is that! We explained it was speaking in tongues and came from being baptised in the Holy Spirit and if they submitted their lives to the Lord and chose to be born again he would love to baptise them in the Holy Spirit.
The last person we spoke with was Charlotte who had gone to church with a friend and when asked if she was born again she said she didn't know. So she listened and said she would like to become born again and prayed in the street to recieve Jesus as her Lord and savior. Well worth being freezing.
Glory to God.


Chris Welch
Benjamin while I was tuning this morning I was thinking about the UK and the Holy Spirit teach-in the Spirit organised for us.
Two independent people from different churches in Amersham had a dream about a Holy Spirit teach-in day. This was 72. Another family gave over their house....so what was cool was it was NEUTRAL.
The other cool thing was the morning session (it was a halfterm) was entirely about evangelism, then the afternoon was about the Holy Spirit. Then those that wanted to be baptised in the Spirit stayed on.
Right from the start the Holy Spirit had linked Spirit baptism with evangelism.....sort of in the way Rheinhard Bonnke did later.
Unfortunately I have not met you yet , and i am not Jesus anyway...so only He can tell which part of your agenda is building a big CONWAY "worship me" denomination and which is genuine just perfume poured out for Jesus.
I love those type of Holy Spirit events which is why I used to hang out at Morris Cerullo events a lot too. Things are really hotting up now with 1. All this demonic Luciferian based so called histories on why Jesus never existed or why He got married or why Christianity was practically invented in some Roman laboratory to create control. Also in the States they arrested that guy for feeding the poor. And also homosexuality/ transgender issues are being used to shut down Christian schools in this country. Years and years of mass indoctrination in kids telly have programmed the next generation to be unable to hear any Christian message at all.
Well God knows about all this and the response to bitter situations in Acts wasn't to sit back down twiddling their thumbs....they said things like "Whether it's right to obey the voice of man rather than God?" and they just got right down to being refilled with more of the Spirit in Acts 4.....which kind of seems a good plan.
How cool would it be to get some evangelists all under one roof imparting a spirit of evangelism and power to UK youth and whoever wants it. But it must be neutral......a Jesus event.
There are helpful things that God is teaching to evengelists precisely for today's generation. One of these by the way Benjamin is being more flaming aware what's going on.....all the schoolchildren are internet savvy and they know what the BBC isn't telling us. It's only the asleep church that are ignorant sweetly thinking this is a green and pleasant land where we eat cucumber sandwiches.





The Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit have got this really neat thing going.
See, they are outside time and within it. Time is meaningless just as Light and Dark and height width and depth. God is I AM. He is NOW. So to us the Cross happened 2000 years ago...to God it might just as well be now.
If you become a Christian all you are doing is exercising faith in Eternity crashing into time in the shape of a Cross incident. Now for us it takes time for that consciousness...the Galatians 2:20 consciousness to settle so the Father , the Holy Spirit and Jesus have rigged up this real neat thing called baptism in the Spirit. He gives us POWER NOW. He does this to accelerate growth. Yes it CAN BE MISUSED like an American "FUNDME NOW" TV ministry...but God will risk His power on you and me and the original 12 disciples in order to SHOOT US THROUGH the growth system. See all the while you are learning sensitivity to the Holy Spirit in real time, you are also learning more about how to be grounded in Jesus Christ as you. It's a great technique and the disciples crashed through into apostle level in 3 years. If you stay in current charismatic churches submitted to apostles who take your tithe money you will be still there when the cows come home.Charismatic churches are not run by 1 John 2 Thirdlevellers, they are run by people that haven't got hold of Galatians 2:20 yet. Conversely if you hang around "Union believers", people who have finally got hold of Christ consciousness they will expect you to take 30 or 40 years learning it because they did. Except that there were NO THIRDLEVELLERS in my day in the 60s and 70s so we had to crash through like St Paul ourselves finding it out. But nothing need take as long as this ever again. God's got two great systems.....the Power and Fire of the Holy Spirit....and the THIRDLEVEL CHURCH that is actually ministered into by Thirdlevellers who genuinely let Jesus run His own meetings.

Shifting the Quantum goalposts from one day to seven!!!!

7 Day Rest
From a series of Chris Welch Facebook Statuses 8/2/2015 on linked material

Testing and Temptation
You are not tested on what you think. You are tested according to what spirit you are in. Jesus said after 33 years the devil has nothing in me. In the Lord's prayer we pray lead us not into testing but deliver us from the inward attachment to evil. Ezekiel 8.10 talks about inner scrawlings on our Temple walls. If fears,they will befall us. We are literally sucking them toward us. If desires.....they shall be so for good or ill. Jesus told off the people for getting too hung up on the Jewish washing regulations.....it's what is coming out of your own hearts that is the problem!!!! It doesn't get better when we are Christians either. God used Arabian isolation to put the squeeze on St Paul. All manner of evil desires came up within me. In Romans 7 he was forced to finally come to terms with how human identity works and we are no different today. Once you see it inwardly.....you know the Truth and that truth sets you free.

Quantum Surroundings
Ezekiel 8....The parable of the sower....i.e. The reproducing nature in the outside world of what is inside your heart soil.......Romans 8
These are where the Bible gets nearest to holding a megaphone up to Richard Dawkins ear and shouting......oy
muffin features.....this is a QUANTUM UNIVERSE WE ARE IN. !!!!!!!!

It's not sitting back in an armchair and smoking cigars
The problem with a Preterist and a Reformed Universe as Daniel Yordy would say, is there is no real time jeopardy, the absence of which is ofcourse loony...because otherwise why do you think Jesus says sentences like "Upon My return shall I find faith in the Earth?" That doesn't sound Predeterminist coming from one who talks about the leaven of the Kingdom filling the whole world?
The Jesus as me Spirit rises against the religious demon spirits sitting on my brother's shoulders in Preterism and Predeterminism.....as also, like Andre Rabe and Francois Dutoit I get ruffled at American Armenianism....sign along the dotted line salvation. They are all religious spirits....quick shorthand shortcircuits from preventing the real Spirit of God do His thing in His way.

The role of the Church
Once you understand it's a quantum environment you start to boggle at what Paul is writing
‘What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him —’
10but to us did God reveal [them] through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God, 11for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.
In other words....we of ourselves cannot even dream or comprehend the things the Spirit of the Living God wants to bring to pass through us His willing vessels by the Power of the faith of Christ pulling them into reality.

Old Testament Blueprints
What did the Old Testament Levite Priesthood teach us about the Quantum world?
What did taking Jericho teach us about the quantum world?
Firstly that there are things we can do....symbolised by the walking 6 steps or the walking round Jericho
But on the 7th step....or the 7th walk round a city there are things that God does.
In the Levite example we pause to hear from the Spirit what is next....we sacrifice to God....we lay down our tools.
In the Jericho example....having done all....we speak or shout the word of faith and "Let God".......
The Jews NEVER repeated this action because like a computer game, which always begins by teaching newbies "what to do" and then moves on into the game....once the Israelites had "got" their inner game they never needed to relearn the process.


So in this new Quantum world (well new to us...it was in the Bible all the time) what is going on?
Firstly....what was the idea behind the Old Covenant...6 days shall you work and on the seventh you rest.....(or be stoned) and this has carried on into the church who still live in the Old Covenant to this day.
The idea is that by resting to hear God, we "mark ourselves out" as God's people by allowing space for Him to give the next quantum direction for shaping our universe.
-------------------------------
Now here is the jeopardy aspect.
the BET that God has on with the devil....
He is betting the devil that even if the devil removes all quantum God procedures, all adherence to 7th day worship to receive in our inward being the quantum changes....the "man shall not live by Bread alone but by every Word that comes from the mouth of the Father"....
and nearly nobody goes to church anymore.....
God is betting the devil that He will still raise up a congregation...even from those who maybe in hedgerows and gutters and not likely candidates at all....
who will "SEE" John 4 FULL ON
who will "get" Galatians 2:20 FULL ON
who will be this quantum universe changing , 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, Pots and Pans cry holy to the Lord people
WHO DO WHAT ST PAUL GLIMPSED AHEAD OF TIME through the wink of God
" so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him".
But people have to hear this by faith and say YES like Mary....
or the jeopardy aspect will kick in....it just won't happen.
How many catch this?

A Good Foundation

Traditionally pastors are one man affairs caring for a group who call themselves a local church. Local churches meet once or a few times weekly having some form of belief in God , right up to specific “experience type believing in being born again and being baptised in the Holy Spirit.” Much enthused the churches who were connected with Jorge Pradas and Ed Miller set up quick "greenhouses" for young people and married couples within their churches called Casa Biblica or Bible houses. Watchman Nee had previously done the same . Youth With a Mission had similar aims in their Discipleship Training Courses.
In hindsight these were all restricted learning environments which covered no more than Romans chapters 3 to 5, or the first two stages of growth in 1 John 2.
The FIRST HALF of the "young man stage" of John's letter is still the favored popular end of the gospel. We see something similar in Jesus own ministry. A lot of people forget that Jesus laid His glory aside. He WAS A NEW LINE whose Seed was directly of God, but He, like Adam was a Man, who had now been baptised in the Spirit. Beginning with one sentence under anointing in hometown of Nazareth, He was learning as He went.He could learn from no rabbi about being baptised in the Spirit, so He was learning it all Himself. But in order to take people through in the Spirit, Jesus announced further clarity of revelation in John 6 and everyone but the most committed left.
To be fair to Jorge Pradas's Bible Houses to the extent that they followed the patterns established by the thirdleveller Edward Miller, they really were to a measure places of Deliverance for all of us.
But almost universally this fact is also true.
The man in charge of Bible House.
The people running YWAM
Just about 99% of all current churches have no clue what they enter into in seeking to bring forth people in Christ.
Everyone without exception is naïve about Genesis 3 thinking at the same time that they know everything about Genesis 3. Just as no man can ever understand childbirth, nor any woman who has never been through it herself, in the same way unless you have been part of your own “bearing of the ManChild Jesus Christ” in your own body, you have not a clue of the deliverance you need from the Old Creation and your own departure from Genesis 3.
The TRUE MANCHILD DEMANDS HIS OWN FORM OF CHURCH, HIS VERY OWN WINESKIN. Church as it is now is like a flimsy cardboard model that has very little true significance in the Spirit of God.
As Paul says our works shall all be burned and that which endures shall have been tried as through fire.
I am getting very tired of people saying to Rich Novek, myself, Daniel Yordy, Annalize Mouton and many others of us here
“You are more unpopular than we are.”
“You don't have many people liking your posts.”
“When are you going to do something?”
“Why don't you preach the gospel?”
Here is the truth God speaks over us no matter how it looks to the eyes. And it is the very same message God the Father would have spoken over the tiny group of 12 and a few hangers on.
Isaiah 55 “Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child;
Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed;
For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous
Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent;
[a]Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not;
Lengthen your cords
And strengthen your pegs.
3 “For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left.
And your [b]descendants will possess nations
And will resettle the desolate cities.
4 “Fear not, for you will not be put to shame;
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the shame of your youth,
And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
5 “For your husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the God of all the earth.
6 “For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
7 “[c]For a brief moment I forsook you,
But with great compassion I will gather you.

 Church as it is now
 is like a flimsy cardboard model
 that has very little
 true significance in the Spirit of God.

The truth is we don't need that many people, what we need is people who have genuinely received the Seed of Jesus Christ through us or others and have become fullgrown. There is only one Jesus Christ however the outer form looks.
Anybody can preach a religion that saves them from some future hell, or even lead others into the exciting baptism of the Holy Spirit. Just these features on their own are enough to create mutlitudes of excited people who create a culture that is infectious for others to join......but none of this was actually what Jesus Christ was doing. What He was doing as we see when Peter blurted out You are the Son of God, and He came back with “Upon this Rock, this perception of God in flesh, will I build My Church.”. was teaching people to become as little children and completely relearn the whole business of life, but this time as God living His life as you in your form.
No church is doing this. And this is why we are impatient with you. You can accuse us as much as you like, but you are not doing what Jesus called us to do. The foundation you are building on is a little bit of Jesus superimposed upon the foundation of man, or the whole Genesis 3 lie.

Set Your Minds

Because the Bible is so well known....but largely unmeditated upon....so all the verses effectively remain useless powerless head knowledge instead of being activated.....
I kind of feel like we are kids in an empty playground experiencing a wonderful new 3D world where we have actually done what Romans 8 says on the tin 
6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
and
Amos 5:4
"Seek Me and Live"
and kind of waiting for the other kids to hear the bell and join us in the playground!!!!!




Check what you are using as "insight"

The reason we don't major in leftbrain religious arguments is because they are pretty useless. It's like taking a 6 inch ruler and saying prove to me God does or doesn't exist. The leftbrain is the wrong mechanism because it is mostly a measuring tool for our 5 material based senses. Saying I "think" there is a God or I think there isn't a God is as pointless as using a 6 inch ruler. On what basis are you thinking either thing. The meter mechanism you are using isn't valid.
Your leftbrain only acts as an articulation source for other senses quite often too.
I think I like Bach as a leftbrain response is only barely acceptable, but its valididy is based on your feelings, or the parts of your auditory system that can appreciate music. But on its own, separate from these senses, your particular mental response to liking Bach is utterly pointless having virtually no authority in the matter.
The same can be said of Sheldon of Big Bang Theory or Spock of Star Trek saying the words " I love you"....well errr...great. Nice decision, but would any girl think that was a good reason for marriage?
Moses said to God If you don't come up with us I couldn't care about going into the promised Land. Our one distinctive is the Presence of God. If we haven't yet trained our spiritual senses to attune to this Presence, then we can argue a tail off a dog about whether God exists, just as we can argue all day about whether Bach is any good at composing music. The best thing is to get on the right frequency first and do the arguing later. God's way of putting this is "Taste and see that the Lord is good." and later in the gospels Jesus says "Come(along) and see." The first church on the Day of Pentecost were answering a question....."Why are all these people appearing drunk at only 9 o'clock in the morning?"
Music is really the one "natural" bridge between the two worlds. It exists in both worlds simultaneously. For that reason the first thing we do approaching God is the "madness" of praising and thanking Him even while virtually being unconvinced whether He is real. How mad is that to the leftbrain? Yet God RIDES upon the praises of His earthly people. Enter His Gates with thanksgiving and His courts with Praise. Thanksgiving is the Front Door and Praise is the vestibule or front hall just before the coathooks.

On that Day

In that Day

On what day?

On the Day 
your eyes are reopened
from being falsely opened.

but you have instead
"bought" white garments.
