Learning to Fly- Pink Floyd,Isaiah and others
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Isaiah 40:27Why, O Jacob, do you say, and declare, O Israel, My way and my lot are hidden from the Lord, and my right is passed over without regard from my God?
28Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.
29He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound].(I)
30Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted;
31But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.(J)
Francois Du Toit preaches on Meta noia using the other meaning of meta to mean alongside, to join with. I have had it settle in my spirit recently to mean Meta= more than/beyond.
Both are so in greek, but Francois is picking up on the same spirit of revelation...to mean we move outside of our own thoughts and conclusions based on very natural limitation and actual data as read by our senses. This is how i was seeing it when I was doing the Jack Fortenberry animations, particularly video 3. Francois uses it to mean we join up with the mindset of God...which in the Spirit is the same thing. Francois' entire message is here.
The third level is learning how to fly!
Not like Yogic flyers. But getting caught up with God's activities and plans. Francois says "Be careful about your waiting". The word "hw"a(wait upon the Lord) means more than wait, it means intertwine. We multiply our strength in Him. We become a strand intertwined in His rope.
“Wait” in Isaiah 40:31 is the transliteration from the Hebrew hw"q;, which means ‘to twist, or to bind, whence a rope.’ This verse reveals the active nature of intertwining one’s life with the life of God. When intertwining is being done, that person is made strong. He who “waits” (twists his life with God’s) upon the LORD is made strong.
Arise My Butterfly via Megan Anne Fey on Facebook
Break forth from the bonds which
have surrounded you,
and have protected you until this day when
I call you by my Spirit to arise and fly.
To fly with abandonment and
delight in that heavenly
realm for which you were created,
to fly in self abandonment to the delight
and saving of those around you.
For such beauty is hidden until it is my time
to call it forth. You have been transformed.
The old has passed away.
Behold all things have been made new.
He has tried you and you have come forth as gold.
So fly my golden butterfly.
Let the world see the precious gems with which
I have adorned you and shown
the world the beauty
with which none can compare.
For the beauty is none other than that
of my son, who is your life.

Revival reality is another aspect of thirdlevel reality.
I experienced a trailer of this kind of life.....actually many do just after being baptised in the Holy Spirit. But this was not then, this was 6 years later.
There was a positioning by faith.
There is a cost.You step out having nothing other than a rhema (Now Word) Word from God.
Very often there is a lull, where you are tempted to believe you've heard wrong.
Very often the very opposite happens. Others get on with their lives in apparent blessing,
and you sit there with egg on your face. But....just a bit longer.....and it happens....
a door opens onto a manner of life that you could not open for yourself...
you couldn't arrange it.
Time itself appears remoulded.
For me as a 20 year old
I was openly received as a prophet by a family in Northern France
they sucked word out of me.
I was used on the first morning to bring deliverance from lifelong epilepsy to the mother of the family.
The father and I were led to make contacts up and down France. While driving we
heard angelic choirs singing an English chorus in French outside the car.
Everything was provided. Places to stay. Money to eat. Everything had precise timing.
The stay concluded with believing for a place on a full plane.When the place was provided
I experienced the plane vision (vision3)which I have already noted and now included in this animation (No 2).
The third level exists!
Rory and Wendy Gallagher experienced the same arc when they left South Africa for England based entirely on a Word to their spirit. It was many months before they realised what it was about. During this time they came to visit my house.(I say this not because it was related...but that was why I knew about it) Next thing I know they are embarked on one of the biggest projects in the world today. God Channel.
Jesus moved in this realm continually. Here are some pointers. The Father required that at the peak of His popularity, instead of spending more time with people, Jesus withdrew up a hillside. The disciples had already moved on. You can sense the natural tension. Jesus looked as though He'd missed the boat. But spending time with the Father opened a supernatural door, and Jesus literally walked back to the boat on water!
When Lazarus died, the Father required that Jesus stay behind a further 3 days. By this time Martha was hopping mad. This is NOT what you do when friends die. But walking in the Spirit Jesus rather moved into a new level of authority in calling a 3day old dead person back to life.
The Father also had Jesus stick behind when His brothers said in John 7 "Well....are you coming up to the Feast then?" In actual fact the Father eventually had Him go up, but in secret. He took a fresh authoritative position in doing this, because if He'd gone up with His brothers, He'd have been swept up in the "what is expected"..."the comfortable natural way of things" which involves no faith at all. In the end He was used on a wave of prophecy to effectively state that He Himself was the Feast....He was the fulfilment of it. That would have been embarrassing and nearly unforgivable to his unbelieving brothers. There is a pace and walk in God that His own authority upon it.
Hard wired DNA
Don't misunderstand me. I am not claiming Holy Spirit life as a natural thing to my flesh. We all have to choose His Life. But there is something hardwired within my existence which I did not plan ,to do with flying.I was virtually born on a plane...well within a few days was rushed home to Gt Ormond's Street Hospital from Ghana. I was some time learning to walk. Many are. In fact I never did walk. I just stood up in another airport concourse and ran.
When I was baptised in the Spirit a Word was given about " eagle soaring life". And this was only given after obeying the Lord on that day in a specific way. So just as Jesus would sometimes tell a cripple to get up and walk...and the miracle is contingent on someone stepping out and doing the impossible....so our door will open as we hear and obey. Sometimes this gets confused for works, as though we are working for our salvation. But FAITH is expressed through works. Baptism in water does not make you any more saved than the thief on the Cross who recognised Jesus for who He was. There was no way he was going to be baptised. But the reason God instituted baptism was so we could do an action in faith to make that which has been bought for us at such cost our own. These steps of obedience open spiritual doors. That was an aside.
At the time of learning about the third level in 1988, I had a whole download of revelation concerning Israel. It became clear to me why Israel has never been too impressed with the Church. But Romans 9: 11 says they will . "But through their false step and transgression salvation [has come] to the Gentiles, so as to arouse Israel [to see and feel what they forfeited] and so to make them jealous. "
A third level mature church will indeed make them jealous.
We see this picture in the original story of Jacob's sons. The younger one, and normally speaking they were AT THE END OF THE LINE in terms of inheritance.....received the promise of God and was rejected by the older brothers. Joseph underwent a whole process, which Norman Grubb has also described in terms of levels or stages, until he entered fully into his destiny as right hand man to the Pharoah himself. At this point the other brothers returned to him.
Church, the reason Jews are not interested is that the Joseph community - the Church having the gospel of Christ - have not matured into their destiny. We do a "great prison life", but we don't yet do a "ruling Prime Minister" kind of life.
Jews sniff us. While we reek of the independent life we can say or do what we like. We can pray great prayers.Teach great teachings. See great miracles. And show this all on God TV. But the whole thing reeks. And not one has yet eaten of Christ in his or her inward being. This is what is meant by the parable of the 10 virgins.......
It's suddenly time to meet the Bridegroom, and we realise we may have oil. That is a familiarity with the baptism in the Spirit realm. But we haven't got enough of a supply and it's too late to buy some more.
This is the subtle next stage that you never hear in grace preaching.
Everything is by grace. But that does not mean that we are permitted to stay in the realm of the independant self of Genesis 3. We need to buy oil in preparation . This means on a daily basis to appropriate the "exchanged life" that happened at the cross. We have died and we now live by faith in the Son of God. There is no middle ground. We either live from Christ by faith, or by our former delusion of an independent self-driven life....a lie...a phony realm...a fable that was spun in Genesis 3, that we took delight in believing, and still believe in our Christian lives.
Now Jews can smell this. And they have a proverb about it. "A Proverb in the mouth of a fool - that is all our teachings,Christian belief systems, truths about healings- are like a man with no legs."
Church, we need not to be a fool. We need to have discernible spiritual legs. Which are the product of believing the right stuff, and appropriating that stuff every day in our lives. And getting up again when we fall...and not wallowing around in the devil's quicksand.
God has His ways to bring us all to "ground zero". The cross levels us all completely. "For we are all without excuse". But at the foot of the Cross we begin again,rebuilding, but this time in Him.
Additional notes:The use of "Virgin Flight" is purely allegorical and does not relate to the real world brand. This is not a straight prophecy on a geographical level.Prophecies concerning the Earth are laid out throughout the Bible. This is a prophetic picture of the Third level. When like David, anointed yet chased round a desert, then made King, then falling into adultery, then trying to hide his adultery....finally after the Nathan's finger finds him....He discovers the key of David. He discovers Ground Zero. He discovers total unmerited grace. He is rebuilt.
And at that level, and only in that place, Jew meets Gentile,Arab meets Jew.All denominations and non-denominations meet each other....because there is only One Name left to meet in....all other reputation has come to nought. "And of the twain He has made ONE NEW MAN" in Christ Jesus. The whole of history, like falling dominos, is left with its mouth unstopped before a holy God who has provided for us - every single nation - the Perfect Requirement - His Son.
