The Revival Cycle

Facebook 11-12/10/2014

Chris Welch
Here's the problem with the third level.

It's not first or secondlevel.
Well that's helpful Chris!!!

Everything up until this point has been within the confines of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The first and secondlevels are still like young birds in the nest. The first Tree is where we find ourselves by default.
When we want to learn something we buy a book. We switch on TV. Now we google it. We go to university and do a course on it.
By the secondlevel things have got a bit more fluid so we go to charismatic conferences. We attach ourselves to apostles or leaders who seem to know a bit.
All operations are still organised, allbeit intermingled with more prayer.
To some little bird in a nest the whole concept of some mother bird moving in three dimensions is totally incomprehensible. What it DOES understand is when it's mother comes back now and again with a worm. Yup. it understands that bit of the third level. YUM.
So we have a growing dilemma. A shrinking nest perched precariously on a tree which simply is not big enough to house fullgrown birds. And then there's the other problem. Predators. each individual bird has to be able to stand up for itself, find its food raise its own families AND keep out of the way of predators.
So here's the dilemma!

Now Ed discovered when you take a local church right through (the cycle) the inevitable fall out....like a nuclear fallout....is revival


How do you get a first or secondlevel bird with only an understanding of YUM and moving in two dimensions round a nest, into a fully fledged, thirdlevel grown up, fully able to move in three dimensions and sort out its own life.
Now here's the thing. You're the mum. And mums are nice. Mums are loving. Mums paid a huge price to bear the offspring, protect the offspring, keep the offspring warm and feed the offspring....the word commitment doesn't even cover it.
So as David Attenborough will tell you, the mother bird continues to teach the little birds with a blackboard and chalk and like Francois and Lydia Du Toit speak very nicely and encouragingly to the little birds....
Well actually that wasn't in my Attenborough Living World DVD...
The Mother Bird KICKS THEM OUT OF THE NEST
INTO THE THIRD LEVEL....
TO FLY.
Most unlike the Dutoit's.

Chris Welch The Mirror is a fantastic Labour and really is the revelation we need to carry us all the way from Romans 1 right into our new identity in 6. But it is in chapter 7 we get the reverse X-Ray that scares the living daylights out of us.....were those days not shortened none of us would experience Christ as us at all.....we'd be dead or in some asylum. Many regard us as such anyway. It's not the mirror I have problems with....it's ministries that stop in Romans 6. The church now needs people that are all the way through and can lead others through. Ed Miller was.one of the first to do this on a church scale. Norman had the understanding and articulation like.few others on planet earth but not the gifting nor Spirit technology to take a Spirit filled church through. I wish I knew Witness Lee but his recordings are being used on Premier Christian radio around London.....maybe as a veteran of communist prisons the sheer Grace on his life gets him through the English doors....what Ed Miller showed his that if you actually take a local church through the Feast of Tabernacles as a Spirit cycle....you eventually get to the Feast of Outpouring of water.....which actually is how the church began in Acts 2.

Churches should make love more and be in first love with their Master and they'd see more babies!!!

The Jerusalem Gates again,,,,,
Acts 2 began a fresh cycle for the 3000 but for the disciples themselves it was the culmination of a whole Passover Pentecost tabernacles cycle in the Spirit over three years with their Master. Now Ed discovered when you take a local church right through the inevitable fall out....like a nuclear fallout....is revival when you hit the Feast of the outpouring of water. This lovely stage in the Spirit is both Gate no.9 or the Eastern welcoming gate to.a whole new set of believers....but for the believers themselves it's like the first three gates all at once in their experience gate one is the sheep Gate. Both forgiveness of the Lamb slain and discipleship. It is gate 2 the fish Gate(evangelism burst) cos they are busy gabbing about their own new resurrection life and it is gate 3 the Old Gate because the gate no 9 people are instructing them in the old solid truths of who God is and who Man is etc beginning a new cycle.. Ed proved that because after he had triggered the 1950s Argentine revival he went on to trigger one every decade of his life. So this is why St Paul wrote so.confidently....do good to outsiders so that in the day of God's power they will understand.....and the seed of kindness is already laid. He spoke of the day of God's power as a certainty in the Spirit cycle. Today because were lucky to even get any of the first gates laid in the Spirit by anybody revival is still this very random and iffy occurrence......a bit like some marriages and babies !!!! Churches should make love more and be in first love with their Master and they'd see more babies!!!

Who are Andre and Mary-Anne Rabe?



Andre Rabe - Contented






Susie Golman Cox might just as well have been over here in the UK at our meeting with Francois Du Toit and Andre and Mary-Anne Rabe...and it's the quickest way of putting in note form some of what was said to just simply reproduce this section she sent through on Facebook from Bill Freeman.
Comprehending the Scriptures

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1

Comprehension is a vehicle of the Lord's voice. Because of this, it is important to know what it means to "comprehend" in the biblical sense. The Greek word for comprehend is a compound word that means "putting things together in a way that causes you to grasp or understand something." For example, the disciples did not understand the Scriptures until the Lord opened their mind to comprehend them (Luke 24:27-32). It was when He opened up the Old Testament, book by book, and unveiled Himself as its focus that they were able to comprehend the Scriptures. At that point, they could put everything together. They understood and comprehended the central meaning of the Scriptures.

To be able to put everything together and properly comprehend the Scriptures, we need to know that the focus of God's speaking is Christ (Heb. 1:1-2). Christ is the Word, the logos, God's unique utterance embodied in one Person (John 1:1). When we see Christ as all in all, then we truly begin to comprehend the Scriptures. Furthermore, with this comprehension we are able to know the Lord's speaking. Our comprehension of the proper focus of the Scriptures becomes the factor of the Lord's speaking, and this speaking automatically gives us discernment concerning all other voices and speakings which are not the Lord's.

In Ephesians 3:2-11 the apostle Paul unveils that God's speaking comes through the proper comprehension of His eternal purpose. In verses 3-4 he says, 3 "How that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I wrote before in a few words, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)." Paul had a comprehension of the mystery of Christ, which is the central focus of God's heart's desire. This was one of the main reasons that he had so much of the Lord's speaking. God's desire, as Paul unfolds it in Ephesians 3, is centered in Christ being expressed through the church to display God's manifold wisdom to the universe. In verse 11 this is called "the eternal purpose," or "the purpose of the ages." Comprehending or understanding this purpose constitutes the main subject of all the Lord's speaking.
- Bill Freeman, The Supplied Life

Who are Andre and Mary-Anne Rabe then? Well, what better way than to quote them both from the book and CD they gave me. Here is a passage from Andre Rabe's book "Secret of Contentment" ISBN 978-0-9563346-0-2. The passage in brown was originally set out as prose.





Before our milky way was formed,



before our sun ignited,



before Jupiter or Mars began their orbit,



before the earth was able to support life ...



you were planned, identified and named for a very specific purpose.



You predate the dinosaurs!



You began way before your conception -



you began in the mind of God.



"Your eyes saw my unformed substance,




and in Your book all the days of my life



were written before ever they took shape,



when as yet there was none of them." (Ps. 139:16).



It is this realm, this eternal dimension,



that preserves the truth about you.



In our temporal, time-bound realm



there might be many events, circumstances



and experiences that try to contradict the truth about you ...



but they are as shadows



compared to the unchangeable truth



that was decided before this world began



and will remain the only truth



after this world has come to an end.
Some of you might remember a movie called 'Never Ending Story' In this movie a boy starts reading a very special book that draws him into an entirely different world from his own. The book doesn't, in the first instance, give advice or direction for his world. In fact the story draws him into a new world, entirely oblivious to his current world and seemingly unconnected. Only closer to the end, as the boy understands more of this new world and more about himself in this new context, does the connection with his 'real' world become clear.
In a sense this is what the scriptures want to do - open a door into an entirely new world - the world of God - a world which at first seems entirely different and unconnected to our own. The first priority of the scriptures is not to comment on your life, your subject, your idea, your doctrine or your world - it has much greater ambitions and purposes. Only once you have allowed yourself to be taken to this new world, and discovered yourself in the context of this new world, do the connections and implications for our world become clear. I can't help thinking of the song: ‘A Whole New World’ Here are a few of the lyrics that fit this concept so well:
...A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view...
· whole new world
· dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you Now I'm in a whole new world with you
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see Hold your breath - it gets better

I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

God wants to be more than an accessory to your world. His message is greater than a comment on your life. The scriptures have more to offer than a feel-good inspirational thought to help you through the day. As we read the scriptures, be ready to be transported into an entirely different setting, confronted by entirely new ideas, and transformed into an entirely new person.
***********************************
Mary-Anne Rabe's CD In His Light available from
This is an excerpt only from the song "The Mystery".
The Mystery is understated here, but is SO strong as a song and content
I can literally hear 1 million singing it in a valley somewhere locally.
30 years ago, as we were selling gift items to the gift trade in London by which
the whole of Emsworth Bible House lived for a period,
two of us heard/saw something like a rock concert filling a local valley up the A3.
In a sense we've seen this already in the Big Church Day Out (see post), and in Delirious's concert in Wembley stadium, but there are two main differences.
What we saw
was the Third Level and the crowd was bigger!
What better song than this one. It's easy to envision these words as Christ sitting happily alongside an independent you, which I described here in the former post as totally wrong. When this song eventually gets sung properly with massive orchestra and massive choirs, let's hope by then..............
it is common knowledge that
Jesus doesn't share space with anyone...He is Lord.
We have died, and our life is interleaved/hidden in Christ
such that we don't know where one starts and the other finishes!

Who is Francois Du Toit?

A few from Havant are going to Haywards Heath (UK), the home of Andre and Mary-Ann Rabe tonight to meet and hear the South African Francois Du Toit who we have come to know a little on Gracebook...er...Facebook. Here are some words from his profile page and some information about his mirror translation.
Francois:People often ask me how we got started in this wonderful mirror message. There are many moments of reflection and impression that quickened our understanding and appreciation of the success of the cross; our parents and others have laid such a sure foundation in demonstrating the simplicity of the love of God and his initiative to bring about closeness and friendship;
but I must mention two outstanding moments that are deeply impressed in my memory: The first was during our honeymoon in January 1979 in the Bourke’s Luck area in Mpumalanga. Lydia and I met a nature conservation officer who told us how they released a Black eagle that was in the Pretoria zoo for ten years. This happened about a week prior to our visit. She told us how excited they were when the bird finally arrived in its wooden crate. They knew that this was the day for this eagle to be freed and to return to the life of its design. But their excitement soon turned to frustration when, after opening the cage, the bird just would not fly! They realised that the ten years of caged life trapped this poor birds mind in an invisible enclosure! How could they get the eagle to realise that it was indeed free. After some hours the bird suddenly looked up, and in the distance they heard the call of another eagle; immediately the zoo-eagle took off in flight! No flying lessons are required when truth is realised!


This story gives such clarity and content to the fact that Jesus came to the planet not to upgrade the cage of Jewish or any other religion by starting a new brand called, the Christian religion; but to be the incarnate voice of the likeness and image of God in human form! He came to reveal and redeem the image of God in us! His mission was to mirror the blueprint of our design, not as an example for us but of us! Col.1:15, 2:9,10.
In God’s faith mankind is associated in Christ even before the foundation of the world. Jesus died humanity’s death and when the stone was rolled away, we were raised together with him! Every human life is fully represented in him! Hosea 6:2.
If the gospel is not the voice of the free eagle it is not the gospel.

The second vivid memory encounter that moulded this message in me was a few years later (1983) when I was asked to pastor a church in White River, Mpumalanga. Until that time I was preaching in the schools of Kangwane and would speak only once or perhaps twice a week to the same audience. I felt a bit worried at the thought that I would now have to speak to the same group of people almost daily. One morning I was specifically praying about this when God reminded me of the five loaves and two fish miracle. I realised that Jesus just continued to multiply the same five loaves and two fish! He did not at some point run out and then had to ask for a few more fish or another loaf!
I suddenly felt a strong urge to read 2 Corinthians 5. I already knew verse 17 off by heart but my eyes were drawn to verse 16. It felt like I was reading it for the first time in my life! When I read the first line I started weeping as God began to open my understanding to what it was that caused Paul to say, “From now on therefore...” That morning became my personal, “From now on therefore” moment! “From now on therefore, I no longer know anyone after the flesh!” Wow, I mean Paul was so aware of people’s natural pedigrees; even his own prominent lineage dwarfed into insignificance when he realised that whoever he was by natural birth died when Jesus died. One has died for all can only mean that all have died!” I was totally overwhelmed with this thought and realised that this simple calculation was the only possible conclusion of the gospel according to God’s economy. No wonder then that Paul could encourage Titus to speak evil of no man, to avoid quarrelling and to show perfect courtesy towards all men; for we ourselves were once ignorant! Titus 3:2-5. The only difference is in what we know to be true about us! What is true in him is equally true in us! 1John2:7,8.
This message has set the stage for New Testament ministry! When Jesus motivated his own ministry nothing could better illustrate his mission but the three parables of Luke 15. The stories of the lost sheep, coin and son clearly confirm original ownership and the fact that their lost condition did not cancel their original value! From there Paul’s urgency, “the love of Christ constrains me.” 2 Cor. 5:14.
In the most dramatic fashion God persuades Peter to no longer call any man unholy or unclean! Acts 10:28. The Lamb of God has taken away the sin of the world! It is about time that the good news of great joy is proclaimed with bold clarity!
Mankind is the property of God! Psalm 24:1.
It is so important to ponder the Genesis of it all, where did we begin? How awesome to consider that he knew us before. Our brief history on this planet did not introduce us to him! We are his love dream…how easy it becomes then to understand the gospel and why our father paid a non negotiable price to redeem his own!... He bought the whole field because of the treasure it holds! Jer 1:5, 2 Cor 4:7


THE MIRROR TRANSLATION
The Mirror Translation is a paraphrase translation from the original text.
While strictly following the literal meaning of the original text, sentences are
constructed in such a way that the larger meaning is continually
emphasised with extensions and some clarifying notes are included in
brackets or at the end of the book.
This is more a paraphrase study than a "literal" translation. When I do the
Mirror Translation I continue to look not just at the detail of every individual
Greek word but also at the consistent context of the whole chapter and
book. Then obviously the context of Jesus and His finished work which is
what the message of the Bible is all about. Thank God for the Spirit of truth
who continues to bear witness with our spirits to the amazing truth of our
origin and redeemed sonship.
HEBREWS
THEME: The Sabbath Rest, the celebration of a perfect union.
(Righteousness by faith)
In Christ the Sabbath Rest is no longer a shadow, a special holy day in the
week, but the celebration of a perfect redemption; the exact image and
likeness of God revealed and redeemed in human form; it is the place of
God’s unhindered enjoyment of man, and man’s unhindered enjoyment of
God.
Under the dispensation of the law of performance, Israel failed to access the
Sabbath of God, and remained snared in the futility of their own efforts to
justify themselves.
Heb.4:6 It is clear then that the opportunity remains to enter into that
which Israel failed to access because of their unbelief, even though they
were the first to hear the good news of God’s intention to restore mankind
to the very same Sabbath rest that Adam and they (Israel) lost. (The basis
of the Sabbath is the celebration of God’s image and likeness revealed in
human form. Jesus as God’s final word to mankind is the radiance and
flawless expression of the nature of God; He gives stature to the character
and person of God in human form. Gen.1:26, 27, Heb.1:3)
4:7 So here (in the Psalms) again many years later, God specifies an
extended opportunity when He announces in David's prophecy, "today in
hearing my voice, don't do it with a calloused heart, be faith sensitive." (In
this context the seventh day is no longer a special day in the week, or
calendar concept but a ‘today’ relevance; as Jesus said, “today this
scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” Note not on your calendar.Luk.4:21)
4:8 If Joshua, who led the new generation of Israel out of the wilderness
(where their parents died through unbelief,) succeeded to lead them into
the final Rest that God intended for them, then David would not so many
years later have spoken of yet another day (that still remains as an open
invitation to mankind to enter into their rest, the life of their design. This
confirms that the history of Israel was a mere shadow and prophetic type of
that Promise which was to come.)
Ó Copyright Francois du Toit 2008
4:9 The conclusion is clear the original rest that God intended is still in
place.
4:10 God’s rest celebrates His finished work, whoever enters into God’s rest
immediately quits his own efforts to add to or complement what God has
already perfected. (The language of the law is “do”; the language of grace is
“done!”)
4:11Let us therefore be quick to understand and fully appropriate that rest
and not fall again into the same trap that snared Israel in unbelief.
4:12 (The moment we cease from our own efforts to justify ourselves,
God’s word takes over the action; what God spoke to us in the incarnation,
His final Word, radiating His image and likeness (1:1-3) powerfully impacts
our whole being, body, soul and spirit) what He spoke becomes a living and
powerful influence in us, cutting like a doctor’s scalpel, sharper than a
soldier’s sword, piercing to the deepest core of human conscience, to the
division of soul and spirit, ending the dominance of the sense realm of the
soul and its neutralising effect upon the human spirit; thus freeing the spirit
to be the ruling influence again in the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
(Spirit and not soul is compatible to mingle with faith, 4:2)
No distortion due to disease of any kind can hide from the voice of His Word
which touches even where joint and bone morrow meets.
4:13 The whole person is thoroughly exposed to His scrutinizing gaze. Every
creature’s original form is on record in the Word. (Representing God’s desire
to find accurate display of His image and likeness in man.)
4:14 In the message of the incarnation we have Jesus the Son of God
representing humanity in the highest place of spiritual authority as High
Priest; what God has spoken to us in Him is the final word that also now
echoes in the declaration of our confession.
4:15 As High Priest He fully identifies with us in the context of frail human
life, subjected to every scrutiny, He proved that the human frame was
master to sin. His sympathy with us is not to be seen as an excuse to
weakness due to a faulty design but rather a trophy to humanity; not as an
example for us but of us; a life not to be pitied but envied.
4:16 For this reason we can approach the Throne authority of grace with
bold utterance where we are welcome in His embrace and are reinforced
with immediate effect in times of trouble. (boe theia, to be reinforced,
specifically a rope or chain for frapping a vessel in a storm.)
5:12 By now you (Jewish people) should have been professors to teach the
rest of the world, but you still struggle with the ABC of God’s language in
Christ. (Heb.1:1-3) The difference between the prophetic shadow and
substance is like milk and meat in your diet. You cannot live on baby food
for the rest of your lives!
5:13 The revelation of righteousness (how God succeeded to restore
mankind to blameless innocence in Christ) is the meat of God’s word. Babes
live on milk, (the shadow of what is to come) so does everyone who is not
pierced in the ear of their heart with the revelation of Christ.
10:38 Righteousness by faith gives definition to life; to now revert back into
the law of works driven by willpower is an insult to faith.
10:39 But we are not the quitting kind; we possess a persuasion of soul
that believes against the odds.
Ó Copyright Francois du Toit 2008
Righteousness gives context and definition to faith.
Faith is so much more than positive thinking or even believing God for
another miracle.
We have often attempted to decipher life either like a Rubik’s riddle cube or
we have reduced our walk of faith to a snakes and ladder adventure, where
the fall of the dice dictates.
The difference between positive thinking and faith is in its reference. While
positive thinking can motivate you to strive to become and to possess, faith
reveals who you already are and have in Christ because of God’s doing.
“God desires to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the
unchangeable character of His purpose.” Heb.6:17 (RSV)
There is a vast difference between a display window and a mirror. The one
keeps you entertained in window shopping mode, while the other confirms
the truth about you as it is revealed in Christ.
If Christ is both the author and perfecter of our faith then to look at any
other reference would be foolish.
He gives definition to our original design and restored innocence. We find
both our identity as well as our destiny there, a future of unchallenged
innocence and friendship.
We have obtained unrestricted access.
Heb.10:17 God has perfectly deleted the record of our sins and misdeeds.
He no longer recalls them.
10:18 Sins were dealt with in such a thorough manner that no further
offerings would ever be required again. Nothing that we could personally
sacrifice can add any further virtue to our innocence.
10:19 Brethren, this means that in what the blood of Jesus communicates
and represents, we are now welcome to access this ultimate place of sacred
encounter with unashamed confidence.
10:20 A brand new way of life is introduced.
Because of His torn flesh on the cross, our flesh can no longer be an excuse
to veil our experience of His favor and presence from us.
10:21 We have a High Priest in the house!
10:22 We are free to approach Him with absolute confidence, fully
persuaded in our hearts that nothing can separate us from Him anymore;
we are invited to draw near now! We are thoroughly cleansed, inside out,
with no trace of sin's stains in our conscience or conduct. Our inner thought
patterns are purged by the sprinkled blood; also our bodies are bathed in
clean water. (Our behaviour bears witness to this.)
Lydia and I love the Kruger National Park; it is our most favourite place to
holiday.
While on a game drive early this morning, I was thinking about faith and
realised that just as my vehicle gives me access and presence in this wildlife
sanctuary, faith in our restored innocence through the success of the cross
is the vehicle that gives us access into the sanctuary of sanctuaries, the
immediate welcome and presence of the Creator. God obtained our
righteousness through
the redemptive work of Christ on the cross.
He secured our right of access into all the blessings imaginable to man.
Jesus gives definition to God’s eternal love dream of our unhindered union
with Him.

When you access the Game Reserve you are immediately aware that you
are in a very special place. The glossy pictures in the official roadmap
evidence glimpses of the enormous variety of game on record. The stage is
set, everything is in place. You do not bring anything but your own presence
to this Reserve; all its magnificent plant, bird, animal, reptile and insect
species are already there and fully represented. They give unique context to
the place. As you drive or sit quietly at your camp or some remote water
hole the sights, sounds and smells are powerful confirmations,
complimenting and confirming the attraction of the bush.
Here the roar of the lion belongs to me, the fresh footprint in the sand; the
call of the fish eagle as well as the vastness of the landscape with its
magnificent trees is mine; every sunrise and sunset continues to decorate
the canvas of my horizon!
Many visitors would diligently search for the trophy of sighting or possibly
even capturing the moment on a photograph, of at least the Big Five (Lion,
Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo.)
The entry permit gives to every visitor equal access into the Reserve. The
fact that these animals are not caged makes it even more exciting to track
them down or discover their sudden appearance on the side or in the middle
of the road.
But to visit the Reserve simply to tick off the next sighting on your list
somehow does not give justice to the enormous pleasure of just being
there! So often the Reserve becomes reduced to this illusive leopard that I
just have to see.
If righteousness gives context and definition to faith, then to reduce faith to
another healing or financial breakthrough that I am seeking would rob me
of the greater reality. Any lesser definition becomes a distraction, whereas
every fresh encounter confirms and compliments the bigger picture.
Bush knowledge certainly adds tremendous value to your experience; the
untrained eye often misses the obvious; following the clues of the different
alarm calls and stares of impalas or giraffe in a certain direction almost
certainly leads to another sighting of a predator. The quickest way to learn
is to ask others, especially those who live there. Peter wrote, “you will do
well if you pay attention to this as a lamp shining in a dark place, until the
morning star rises and the day dawns in your own heart.” 2Pet.1:19. An
experienced guide can make such a difference! “Do you understand what
you are reading?” is the vital question when studying scripture. The
Ethiopian Chief Treasurer answers Philip, “How can I unless someone guides
me?” Acts 8:30,31,35.
An authentic sighting takes the sanctuary experience far beyond the most
realistic “zoo” encounter.
In traditional church-life we have often sought to cage God’s Spirit into
rituals, recipes and doctrines of men.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places, says David in
Psalm 16:6, my inheritance is most beautiful.

Chapter 1
1:1 Throughout ancient times God spoke in many fragments and glimpses
of prophetic thought to our fathers.
1:2 Now, the sum total of His conversation with man has finally culminated
in a son; He is the official heir of all things, He is after all the author of the
ages. In Him everything finds their destiny. (Christ is the crescendo of
God’s conversation with us.)
1:3 We have our beginning and our being in Him; He is the force of the
universe that sustains everything that is by His eternal utterance! Jesus is
the radiance and flawless expression of the nature of God; He makes the
glory (intent) of God visible and gives stature to the character and person of
God in human form. (Gen.1:26, 27) This powerful final utterance of God
(the incarnation) is the vehicle that carries the weight of the universe. He is
the central theme of everything that exists.
The content of His message celebrates the fact that God took it upon
Himself to successfully purge and acquit mankind. Jesus is now His right
hand of power, seated in the boundless measure of His majesty. He
occupies the highest seat of authority there representing our innocence.
(“Having accomplished purification of sins, He sat down...”)
1:4 No angel can compete with Him in rank or name. This is His rightful
portion.
1:5 God did not address the angels when He said, (in Psalm 2) "You are my
son, today I celebrate your birth! I am to you all that a Father can be to a
son, and you are to me all that a son can be to a Father.
1:6 Also when he leads his son in triumphant parade before the inhabited
world as His first born, He says, "Let all God's angels kiss his hand in
adoration."
1:7 What He does say about the angels is that they are His messengers; He
made them to be swift like the wind and moving at the speed of lightning.
1:8 But when He addresses the son, he says, "Your throne O God extends
beyond the ages. The sceptre of your kingdom sets the standard and
remains a symbol of absolute integrity." Ps.45:6.
1:9 "You love righteousness and detest evil. Therefore O God, your God
anointed you with the oil of joy to stand out amongst your close comrades."
Ps.45:7.
1:10 "The earth traces its foundation in you, also the heavens are your
invention; they are all hand made by you.” Ps.102:25
1:11 They shall become obsolete but you will remain, they shall show wear
like an old garment;
1:12 and eventually You will roll them up as a mantle; they shall be
replaced, but You remain “I am”, and your years will never cease.

1:13 Neither was it the angels He had in mind when He said, “You are the

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.
