Israel : Why the other notables are wrong and why God is as usual RIGHT.

Israel.
As I said the other day...if you want to do a Dance of the Shulammite between two armies get God's message on the Jews.
IT DOES INVOLVE A DIRECT DOWNLOAD because you are talking of something intensely holy which defies everything you now see with your eyes.
IT IS HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE. And actually the same could be said of God;s other house, Gentile believers...or US, the wild olive plant He has skilfully grafted in.
Until I had that direct Spirit download I was just like any other Christian brought up in the housechurch movement in the UK. We were totally Body centric. Church centric. And no bad thing in that, it's just not quite the whole picture. As Lance Lambert spent his whole life trying to convey to Britain on his visits.
READ Lance Lambert and me
Now Lance matured in his inner seeing and one of his last great books is virtually thirdlevel teaching without the full clarity of Norman Grubb on Genesis 3. (Jacob whom I love by Lance Lambert)
I have come to digital blows with Daniel Yordy on two issues.
One is spiritual violence.....Jesus in the Temple with whips....and Paul specifically naming names that all may learn even the named ones. This is extremely uncharismatic. There, they only name you behind your back like gossip!!!!!!
And the second thing is Israel. In learning some of the full horriffic detail of modern Israel, Daniel ditches the whole lot, like most of South African Christianity too. I get extreme reactions in my spirit when Daniel talks about Israel, because he has not had the "download". You can argue with these guys until you are blue in the face...but this stuff is revelation. You either have it or you don't. It's a bit like baptism in the Spirit.
In a handful of paragraphs this is the download...but this is only leftbrain...you need to get this in the Spirit like set concrete in your tummy.
We learn from Jacob and Esau that though Esau begged and begged Isaac could NOT reissue the lost birthright and blessing.
You have to grab that in your gut. When God commanded Abraham to kill Isaac....and then stopped him....He was getting Abraham to KNOW something, something tiny...but nevertheless humanly massive.....of the PAIN God felt at sacrificing His Son. Abraham's total commission apart from warring with a few kings....was to believe for THE SON through whom God would bless nations. When Abraham and Sarah were as good as dead.
Years later, was it 40??? Abraham was asked to take his mature son and slaughter him....then He stopped him. Who do you even know would obey God in either of those demands? Believe for an impossible son and then kill him.
THAT is why Abraham is our father in the Faith. That is why when God makes a promise to Abraham concerning first sandgrains and then stars....you can go to the BANK on both happening.
DANIEL YORDY IS JUST WRONG in this huge area, and also concerning the rise of Antichrist. The two issues are related.
because the Jews are still waiting for their Messiah, and this is the leverage the devil is pulling as they build the Third Temple.
What Daniel is 100% accurate about, and all of America, and Benny Hinn Art Katz and John Hagee is absolutely wrong about is that present Israel was brought into being by House of Rothschild banking and Zionism....which is Freemasonic SIONISM and is the devil's domain. Only 10% of world Jewry have the least bit of linage from Abraham. They are NOT SEMITES. Read Henry Makow the Jew. Shakespeare. Dickens. and James Joyce in Ulysses are NOT being racist. They are describing this other Jew, this Kabbalist Jew type who are bent on inheriting everything...rather say "snatching" everything out of God's hand, without having any relationship with Yahweh whatsoever....Kabbalists worship another Morning Star."Lucifer". Ask any Orthodox Jew. Any Semite Jew. They don't recognise current Israel. Read Ezekiel 28 for yourselves. Get it from God. Art Katz, David Hathaway, Morris Cerullo are in total denial of what Daniel and others share. John Pilger reports on the annhihilation of various Palestianians. Remember many Palestinians are born again Christians. The rest are Muslim or of Arabic descent. Many are Semites from the dispersals.
BUT GOD.
BUT GOD.
Daniel denies God is big enough to do His final denouement.
Art Katz doesn't understand the problem at all.
Both are 80% or more wrong.
We have a situation here which is very very very dire.It's one of these typical devil attempts at tying history in knots. He does it very very well. He has done it with your life and mine and also the Church.
But GOD
God declares over Israel through David in Psalm 48. However it looks Israel IS ETERNALLY the joy of the whole earth.
We Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
WHY? Because the Jew is the picture of the whole earth.
Jacob was the picture of everyman.
The priests of Baal gathered for Elijah and poured water all over his wood, even making moats of water round the whole pile.
This YEAR...and you couldn't make this up.....the secret conspiratorial forces who designed Isis in the first place, used Isis to seriously damage an old Assyrian Temple to Baal. Why?I thought the conspirators wanted that? Aha....but nobody would suspect them if Muslims extremists did what they find natural...destroy Baal Temples. Aha...but the |Hegelian trick is then to wheel out some mobile Baal Temple adoration "In defiance of these extremists to show them"...except this is in London and New York. Two of the three places that have these Baal Egyptian obelisks anyway.
I digress.
It didn't make a ha'p'orth of difference. The fire of God fell as Elijah promised.
It doesn't matter that Israel is as jumbled up as it is....it is literally boobytrapped into the "heart" of the devil's entire world conspiracy. Mossad is right in the thick of it.
But the Devil's people or Luciferians can do what they will.
God has said to Abraham what He is going to do and He absolutely will carry it out....for the natural and the supernatural lineage.
God is far far far bigger than any evangelical says
bigger than any charismatic like Benny Hinn or Art Katz says
and He is bigger than Daniel Yordy says.
HE IS GOD AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

What Is Thirdlevel Intercession?

Facebook questions around my phrase :  thirdlevel intercession is apparent.

Chris Welch One of the things God is and does is be for others. We cannot "ask God into our life" (as if He wasn't there) experience a rebirth from Darkness to Light, let Him establish Himself in us and expect Him to behave suddenly differently.
He is SELF FOR OTHERS. HE is intercession. Laying His life down for others.
His first intercession by us , while all the other "self for other " things are going on...is interceding within us that we become established in who we now are....or as Francois DuToit puts it....who we always were but never knew or forgot.
This takes place in our 1 John 2 Child Stage and the young man stage. At least a good part of what is going on , but by no means all, is intercession to get US established and on into adulthood in Christ.
There are many things that can shortcircuit us.....( the first bunch of Israelites grew hard of heart and died in the wilderness) but if we don't harden our hearts God is faithful to bring His own Life to maturity in us.
Now this is no different to the natural world. Kids tend to be absorbed more with self...AND THAT ISN'T wholly wrong. You need to be growing in all ways ever to reach adulthood....but there comes this shock in fallen natural life....when self absorbed youngsters (both in the right way and the wrong way) suddenly learn the universe does not revolve around them at epicentre.....and they start to hold down jobs, and provide for their own families etc.

In the Spirit....maturity....or fatherhood...or knowing Him/fusing/ with Him who is from the beginning is when we start moving into the unique commissions God has us all in. We become pourers outers. As i said from DAY ONE we start to become that. John says....herein we know we are in Him....
whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him:

Having experienced the love of God....we begin truly and unconditionally to love others.
But often in the hurly burly of the "fixing stage" we feel like we are in a no.3 wash in a washing machine. We don't know which way up we are.

But Romans 6 to 8 doesn't last forever.....and once we "see Him in us as us" properly....everything settles down much more and everything we do is done "out of rest"

So that was the phrase "thirdlevel intercession".
By apparent we mean JESUS HIMSELF was not evil.
Jesus HIMSELF is ALIVE. ETERNALLY.
But our ADAMIC DEATH which He carried into the grave with Him, really did kill Him...or killed His first mortal body anyway. He came in the likeness of sinful flesh....but unlike Adam....never blew it...
so as the Last Adam He was the Perfect Lamb to take our condition completely on Himself and lose it in the Eternal waste dump. From whence the Spirit raised Him up according to the will of the Father.
And there you have the Trinity in operation.

Jesus is now in the heavenlies with the Father, but the Spirit's role is on Earth preparing the Bride.

Chris Welch One of the processes we go through is "being framed". That is people ascribe to us things which are not us. if we refuse to do other than what Jesus is doing through us...this is what it means to go the way of the Lamb.....we march through all these "apparent fixes" and the Spirit unlocks doors by us.

This "apparent " nature of things is prefigured by Abraham.
God took an instamatic photo for all time of the moment Abraham raised his knife to slaughter the Child of Promise. It was an "apparent" moment. But it was what God needed to be able to tie down the Covenant on earth and begin the huge adventure of salvation. This was God in Abraham....being willing to sacrifice not just his own son...if that wasn't incredible enough....but this was maxed up millions of times by virtue of Isaac being a total miracle son, a Child of God's Word promise, and thus something that was totally God for Abraham....and even then he was still willing.
For this reason God has fixed the promise of natural Israel AS WELL as supernatural Israel, which we all become by faith.

In the Manger is the Bread of Life Part Two

In the first part we looked at Jesus in the manger and then looked at a real world conflict that concerned tithing.
Today I want to look at Cain and Abel in relation to the manger. 

Genesis 4 NIVAdam^[a] made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.^[b] She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth^[c] a man.” ² Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. ³ In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. ⁴ And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, ⁵ but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
⁶ Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? ⁷ If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

 SOIL speaks of works, of the very curse which ACTS to Wear at our insides....to bring us to an end of our selves.The POINT of the CURSE even has a "wink" in it as Norman Grubb would say. It brings us to ourselves. To the true nature of what is a self.
FLOCKS speak of that which grow of themselves, SEPARATE to our efforts, which were offered in our place.
In Genesis 3
²¹ The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
An animal died as replacement in order that our "sin", our "selves" were covered.

 Whatever happened had to be a complete answer.
Cain's offering is not a complete answer.
Adam and Eve's figleaves were not either.

Even the yearly presentation by the High Priest referred to in Hebrews, although the whole pattern was DIVINELY REVEALED, was not a complete answer. Because it had to be repeated each year on the Day of Atonement. And High priest by high priest died.
Now for this even to be mentioned meant Paul (or whoever wrote Hebrews) was thinking in COMPLETE terms which involved the defeat of DEATH itself.

What Cain was doing was religion. He was operating out of his "darkness"........ the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them who believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine to them.1 Cor 4:4
What is the Darkness inherited from Genesis 3.
That we can live as separated  beings, self-empowered souls.
This position is a delusion and comes out of a totally wrong view of God, a lying view of God as a hard taskmaster, as someone, far from being our Father, actually holding out the best from us, and thus we were in need of some "helpful advice from a serpent" to show us how to act like god, knowing good from evil.
But this independent stance is not really independent since we are made to be empowered by spirit....and if not empowered by Deity....we hook into not our self....but the fast one that was played on us, was that we hooked into a perishing self, Satan's spirit. The nature of this "wrath" spirit is that we now have a junk feeling being around God who is holy.

We feel separate from God, even though we still live from what is basically His Life. He is,after all, the Only Life in the universe. 

So without any revelation of God's heart like Abel had, we feel we have to "buy off" this guilt.
All religion is about the appeasement of an "out there " God.
God's heart is about connection. About doing everything in His Power to bring us back not only into relationship....(Havant church have got that far)....but into UNION, into FUSION.


If you are still in an appeasement mentality you are still in shame. You haven't really seen God's love for you. Not you among others....YOU PRECISELY as you are!!! Precisely as you are God loves you.
If we don't see God....not really....I mean really as He is, we give Him the scrag ends of our produce, the works of our hands, and hope that somehow we've fit the bill, that we've appeased this far off, out there God.


Let's go forward a moment to a beautiful "image capture" in the Spirit that is recorded for us in the Old Testament. Both Daniel Yordy and I have come to its significance independently. I refer to Genesis 22:7b and 8
And (Isaac) said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” ⁸ Abraham said, “God will ^[a]provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.

God will provide for Himself the lamb

In the context that this statement was made:
of an extremity of obedience that none of us can hardly imagine, yet in this situation to boldly assert his word of faith, and a word of faith of world changing TRUTH and MEANING .

People say Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son. I'm sorry that doesn't cut it. Isaac was his only real son by Sarah at that point, and born according to supernatural promise, after years and years and years of heartache and believing. It was this very child of promise Abraham was going to willingly sacrifice AND contrary to stupid worldly professors who sit in their stupid theological colleges in Cambridge and Oxford, comparing his act "anthropologically to neighbouring cultures who sacrificed their children"
this was done stating by faith : God will provide (for) Himself the lamb.

The manger is an incredible scene. We do not know that Jesus was still in the manger for the arrival of the three magi, but for the arrival of the shepherds he was. And this was the true Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. They were required to BEHOLD.
Not to bring gifts.
Not to do anything particularly.
Just Come.
Just Behold.

It had been 400 years since the last main written prophetic Word from God.
After this hiatus of extraordinary length what would be the next Word from God?
Well there were several...from angels,Simeon,Anna and Zechariah....but the BIG ONE direct from God
was in flesh form. 
Here now.  
A Baby.
A life.
Bread for the Life of the world in a feeding trough in a city called House of Bread.
I want you to catch something in this article.
Because the Jews haven't caught it yet  and neither has the world church.



Religion is an act of appeasement in the false belief that we as independent beings have to buy off this "out there separate God" who is desperately angry with us.
That's all Cain understood.
Abel gave of the fattest portions of His flocks, and knowing the heart of God knew this wouldn't be a problem to an All Blessing God. He was looking ahead, seeing in the Spirit.

By the time of Jesus arrival the full revelation of the sacrifice of animals had been well and truly caught ever since Moses, and was now a religion. Even that had become the religion of Cain.
To buy off an angry God.
A separate out there God.




What was God's answer?
A son.
Conceived directly from the Life of the Father.

In other words God's answer was not religion.
It was a Life.
A Life source.
Divine in nature.
That we also RECEIVE a WHOLE LIFE.
Not a religion.
Not steps To a Life.
Not 10 steps to overcome.
Not manuals.
Not even gifts of the Spirit.
BREAD.
For transplanting into the whole of our Life.



We don't DO anything to GET anything.
We COME.
WE BEHOLD a BABY in a foodtrough.



Let's break into this here with another brief point.
The stable says two or three things.
It tells us about how things are to be from now on.
This is a Melchizedek Order event.
As is the whole of the NATURE of Jesus Life on Earth and continues to be now as lived by us.
He comes from effectively nowhere, since He has no human father, being Divinely conceived.
At the end of His life he will return to the Father (humanly what seems like nowhere) by rising in the ascension.
The nature of all "meeting" or "gathering together in the stable" is by DIVINE revelation. It's supernatural.
The only reason Mary is pregnant was by supernatural overshadowing bythe Holy Spirit . The only reason the shepherds are there is because they were divinely instructed. And the only reason the wise men turn up is again by instruction from a star. Each bring something. The shepherds are there because Jesus is the Lamb. The wise men each bring gifts about a fact of Jesus Life. This is how meetings are in the Holy Spirit. Each person has a contribution but it concerns "this Life that we have handled and tasted and touched.".


It's NOT a religion.
It's not tithing.
It's not supporting a priesthood.
It's not rehearsing some morbid religious event.
It's Beholding a Lamb that was slain who ferried off our former existence
and left it there, and who resurrected with Us in Him
now CO-SHARERS IN A LIFE.

No human is ever ready to welcome the Melchizedek Order.
In fact human Kings are gathered together it says to destroy the King. Psalm 2
So no organisation was ready to receive Jesus, and so like His death, He
is effectively "out the back".....in a stable.

Yet His BIRTH , LIFE and DEATH cut right through Cain religion.
Jews thought they could slightly modify their existing process and allow
Him to intersperse the odd reading....UNTIL HE declared HIS LIFE....NOW....
saying, Now is this scripture fulfilled in your presence."

A religion about Jesus, as the Christian Church have made it is not offensive.
But the ACTUAL LIFE of Jesus received by faith
Eating His flesh BY FAITH
IS really OFFENSIVE....

because it spells the end of tithing and supporting a priesthood, that actually
in Hebrews terms, or heavenly Sanctuary terms, was NEVER a priesthood.
It spells the end of hoops, activities to gain more of God's Life
Rather ALL ACTIVITIES and they are LIFE ACTIVITIES NOW proceed
out of beholding what this Lamb has done.

People used to wonder at His authority.
Well His authority came OUT of HIS LIFE.

Hebrews 7:15-16    ¹⁵ And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek, ¹⁶ who has become such not on the basis of a law of ^[g]physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.   


This is the point I am making with Simon Waters,Ed Harding,Martin and Kay Elwood and every single one at Havant....
there are NO LAWS of physical requirement, no tithing, no activities according to a law like meetings, like reading the Bible, like praising, like praying....

All these things Issue FORTH out of an indestructible Life, the Bread that was in the manger that came down from heaven.  

WE LIVE NOW FROM A SPONTANEOUS LIFE

Tithing makes no sense because there is no levitical priesthood. Only a Law of Giving and supernatural REBOUND, a whole giving cycle that we enter into , but in the context of our whole lives now issuing out of that SHEAF that the Jews waved on Easter Sunday morning  , without knowing this was the very resurrected Life of Jesus that was walking in such an unassuming way out of the Tomb....almost as if nothing had happened, and Mary certainly was confused. Was this the gardener?


When we meet, we meet in Life. We gather all the more because of the magnetism of the Life within us."Gather together all the more frequently as you see the Day drawing near."

The very ministry of Jesus was Him living. He shared the Kingdom life He had with 12 normal people.And beyond them to the rest of the multitudes. It was largely outside of the synagogue walls, although at times he would go within the old system. But the system was as irrelevant as church life is to us who have now discovered this ALL DAY ALL NIGHT ALL WEEK Bread. We'll go into church in order to try to penetrate the system with God's message of Love, but like Judaism as a system, church life also as practiced now in its Cain like separation, is an irrelevance.  All over the world God is bringing forth a manifestation of the obedience of faith.
Jesus said...who is it who is righteous? Those who say Lord Lord, yes, but don't do the will of my Father, or those who express no concern and say , no no....but afterwards obey and hear the Lord.

Such is this increasingly broken generation who know little of church, little of christianity, but who will increasingly "catch" this Galations 2:20 consciousness of ours.

Contending With The Oath of God by Daniel Yordy

January 2, 2011
PDF Version for Printing and Distribution

"For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you." And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us." Hebrews 6:13-18

********

"Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.

And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks." But he said, "I will not let You go unless You bless me!" So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob." And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel: for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed."

Then Jacob asked, saying, "Tell me Your name, I pray." And He said, "Why is it that you ask about My name?" And He blessed him there. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." Genesis 32

********

"So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." Then he said, "Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering." So the two of them went together.

"Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" So he said, "Here I am." And He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."

"Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided."

"Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said: "By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son- blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice." Genesis 22

********

This is the final letter of my series on the Unveiling of Jesus Christ. It's not that I will depart the topic, everything in the heavens is focused on that reality right now. But I must complete the series. This letter is a topic I am hardly capable of addressing. It is the most holy and profound I have attempted to write about. The passages from Genesis that I include above are two of the most profound and holy scenes in all the Bible.

If you do not understand the truth I am sharing, that's fine, I hardly understand it myself. Yet it is from the throne of God and essential to the revelation of Christ our life. Simply hold it before the Lord that He might reveal its meaning as pertains personally to you in its time. This is what I have done with this particular word for 30 years, knowing that it was the critical truth of the birthing of the age to come.

Let me start where the writer of Hebrews ends this passage - the hope set before us.

God is very clear in the New Testament on exactly what this hope is. It has two parts. Paul says that the hope is the redemption of the physical body, that our present mortal body be swallowed up in life, that mortal must put on immortality and corruptible must put on incorruptibility. Paul said clearly that we do not have this thing, yet, that we hope and groan for the transformation of our body into life. At the same time, John said that our hope is that we are just like Him, conformed to His image.

The word of the gospel is that we are just like Him; the demonstration of the power of the gospel is the transformation of our physical body - the defeat of death. The gospel is both. Truth and power. Heavenly reality and earthly demonstration.

Our hope is that we are filled with all the fullness of God. Our hope is that rivers of living water flow out of us. Our hope is that all authority in heaven and earth is given to us to see the word God speaks triumph in visible reality in all things upon this earth. Our hope is the defeat of death. Our hope is the throne of God.

The writer of Hebrews says that we lay hold of this hope. Paul says that we lay hold of eternal life. That word is "to seize." Paul says in Philippians that we seize hold of that for which God seized hold of us. More than that, Hebrews says that we are fleeing for refuge, giving the clear picture of the Matrix, the world of deceit and vanity ruled by demons and operating under all the meaning of the curse. We break out of all that is less than all that God speaks, all that falls short of His glory.

More than that, the mechanism by which the truth of God becomes full reality through us in this earth, Hebrews shows, is the oath of God. Yet that oath of God does not sit there requiring us to be passive believers, "Someday God will make it all work out."

No. God says, "Prove me."

Of all the words I have ever heard preached from the throne of God, one that has gripped my heart with tensile strength is found in these words. "I will not let You go until You bless me."

"I will not let You go."

God swore an oath that He would fulfill His word in us in this earth. All that He speaks. To God, His Word was not enough. He wanted to give us more than His Word. How could there be more than God's Word? I have no idea, yet God thought it vital that He increase the power of His Word by committing Himself to a binding oath sworn against His own person.

Do you see how terrible the substitute of the serpent is, in turning this oath into nothing more than "the certainty of heaven after you die," when the New Covenant says no such thing, but speaks of something entirely different?

Jacob wrestled with God. He seized hold of God Himself and would not let Him go, even though God told him to let go. Jacob refused. "I will not let You go."

"I will not let you go!"

God, You're Word was not strong enough for You. God, you added an Oath spoken against Yourself, a binding unmovable Oath, that this thing is real in me. I will not let You go until You prove all the You say in my body of flesh.

"By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son - blessing I will bless you . . ."

And so we come to the heart of the matter. We come to the moment of transformation, the point at which the ring is cast into the fire, the moment that the accuser is cast down and the Kingdom of God comes through us in all power.

The unveiling of Jesus Christ. The apocalypse. The removal of the cover that hides the great and mighty work God has wrought in birthing His Heart inside of us.

Genesis 22 is the final passage from death into life, from in-part into all-fullness.

I read the words of this passage again and see that which is so holy and profound in every phrase, yet I cannot articulate with clarity how it applies to us right now. You might think, "Well, Yordy, how can you point us to truth that you cannot show?"

And I would agree with you.

Except.

"I will not let You go."

God cut the covenant with Christ upon the cross. That covenant was sealed by Christ with His blood and by God with His oath. When you and I were baptized in water, we entered into the terms of that covenant between the Father and the Son. It is not baptism that saves us, but rather the covenant that baptism signifies.

"That you might be filled with all the fullness of God."

"He that believes in me, out of his belly flow rivers of living water."

"He who overcomes sits with me in My throne, as I overcame and sit with My Father in His throne."

"For this mortal must put on immortality, and this corruptible must put on incorruptibility."

These are just some of the terms of that covenant. I tell you, we have no idea the extent of what these things mean in their literal and immediate application inside the gospel of Christ.

"Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God . . . that you may prove . . . the will of God."

Prove the will of God. That is the culmination of the gospel according to Paul. Prove the will of God in these bodies of mortal flesh.

"I will not let You go until You bless me."

Contend with God concerning His oath. He swore against Himself in a binding oath that He would fulfill all that He speaks in us in this life in this age on this earth. His Word cannot return to Him until it has accomplished all the purpose for which it was sent. Contend with Him concerning His oath. Seize hold of Him and do not let Him go.

"Be filled with all the fullness of God" was spoken into this earth. It cannot return to the Father until it is fulfilled. Contend with God concerning His oath.

"For this mortal must put on immortality" was spoken by God into this earth. That word cannot return to the Father until it is fulfilled. Contend with God concerning His oath.

Without faith it is impossible to please God.

And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks." But he said, "I will not let You go unless You bless me!"

"By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son."

Seize hold of God, grab Him by the middle and wrestle with Him, contend with Him concerning His oath and do not let go. Do we understand that Jacob won his struggle with God. God said, "You have wrestled with God and have prevailed." Jacob outwrestled God! And God gave him a new name. God transformed him through weakness. Jacob prevailed.

But Jacob was just a foreshadowing of us now upon whom the ends of the ages have come. We wrestle with God concerning His oath, sworn in the midst of Jesus' bloody body hanging upon the cross. "I will do this thing."

"Let God be true and every man a liar."

God says things in the New Covenant, many, many things, that I do not see fulfilled with my eyes. Job says in chapter 19:

25 For I know that my Redeemer lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth;

26 And after my skin is destroyed, this I know,
That in my flesh I shall see God,

27 Whom I shall see for myself,
And my eyes shall behold, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!

I will see my Redeemer with my own eyes in this body of flesh!

"Always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh." 2 Corinthians 4:10-11

"But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." Romans 8:11

I refuse to spiritualize this word in any way. To spiritualize it is to make the word of God of no effect. It is to settle for meaningless drivel, for fakery and pretending, for Christianity without power. I will not settle for anything less than all that God speaks fulfilled in all meaning in my mortal body, in my dying flesh.

God says that the greatest power in the universe is right now giving incorruptible, immortal life to my dying body. Do I feel it? No. Do I see it? No.

Contend with God concerning His Word. He has sworn an oath against Himself to fulfill all that He speaks in us. God does not play games. He is looking for a people will take Him seriously, who will regard what He says, who will tremble at His word.

To regard the word God speaks is to wrestle with Him, to seize hold of Him and not let Him go until He fulfills all that He speaks inside of us.

The Word of God is entirely dependent upon the seed of the woman, faith, before it can bring forth all the life that is in it. No faith, no fulfillment.

Faith wrestles with God. Faith does not let Him go. Faith contends with God over all that God speaks, no matter how impossible it sounds. Faith does not quit until we see God in our flesh, until our own eyes behold, and not the eyes of another.

Now, in saying all this, please don't think I'm talking about some sort of human striving, some religious performance, some grunting effort of ours. I am not. I see an experience with God, an entwining, so deep and holy, an act of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, who is our life.

Now, picture the scene with Abraham and Isaac, the last moment right before God speaks. Isaac, at least in his thirties, lies on a pile of branches maybe four feet off the ground. He is bound with ropes. Next to him stands his father, Abraham, with a knife raised up in the air above his son, poised to plunge. Isaac does not resist, the presence of God is upon him in a bubble of peace he has never known before.

Picture that image in your mind and keep it.

"And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!'" Revelation 19:6-9

"Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me." John 6:53-57

These three things are the same. They look different, yes, but they are speaking directly to the same moment of passage from in-part to in-fullness.

This is not an 'idea' I am presenting to you, but a holy reality that we hold before the Lord. We don't understand what it means, but we know that Abraham offering the word God spoke to him, the deepest treasure of his heart, back to God, at that same point of the fulfillment of God's determination in the earth is found the marriage supper of the Lamb, and the partaking of all the fullness of the life of Christ.

"A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."

Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me." John 14:19-23

More than once I have concluded a series with this word. It concludes all that I have to share.

The Father and the Son come to us, they reveal themselves personally and intimately to us as private individuals, and they make their home in us.

The intimacy and reality of the Son with me, inside of me, is greater to me now than I have ever known. Walking with the knowing certainty of the person of Jesus always with us is to walk in what the world would call "insanity."

I expect that the Lord Jesus will appear to me visibly, any day now, and to many of you as well, just as He appeared here and there after His resurrection. He is alive, you know. The time of His appearing is now. Yet, though we may not now see Him visibly, we rejoice in full expectation in all that His appearing in us means.

The time is now. The GRACE that IS to come is now, unfolding, revealing, glorifying Christ in us.

God always leads us to celebrate with all joy, dancing, and celebration the victory of God in us, though we do not see it. Yet we will see it with our eyes.

Victory over physical death, victory over sin, victory over the beast, in this world, in this life, in this age, in us now. We will see it with our own eyes.

Yet whether we see Him or whether we don't, to walk as if He is visible beside us is to walk in that which is always true.

But the Father? The Father taking up residence inside of me? This is something we have not known. We have known the Spirit of God, for it is He who has lived in us since we were born again. And the Spirit of God, present with us, makes us more and more aware of the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our life.

But the Father? We have not known the Father inside of us.
