Triggering Open Heavens

In 1978 I had my first 2 week long foretaste of the thirdlevel. Some people call this revival. Kisa Emmanuel Amos is experiencing it now.
All of our life God is conforming us to His image....in a sense all of life , all 70 years or more or less is waiting upon Him. But it's not that passive, iffy, empty "Waiting for Godot " stuff.....waiting upon the Lord means in Aramaic
entwining around/being joined as a strand of rope with....
kind of exactly like our DNA helix.
You have to separate the idea of spirit from soul and body. See you can be waiting for God in this active engaging sense spiritually EVEN while your soul is active in work or family or play. It's a secret thing. Your family will only see the results....but they can't see it happening. Jesus brother's didn't know Jesus was the Son of God until after He died.
What I am saying is, just as I was 20, you can trigger thirdlevel events right now....you don't have to wait until you are 70.
Thirdlevel events are triggered by an elaborate series of "secret codes"like on a SAFE DOOR....if you go through the whole sequence the SAFE DOOR springs open....or you find there is suddenly an OPEN HEAVEN....people are getting saved....the work of God accelerates...a BURST of HEAVEN comes to earth. Yonghhi Cho runs his church like this having a PRAYER MOUNTAIN. Which is OK...but we really have to move on from here.
The ENTIRE TRICK of this planet is to ONLY DO what you see the Father doing. Since the Fall we have been doing GOD PLUS activities....doing more than He is doing, and GOD MINUS activities...NOT doing what He is doing.
All prayer was....was geographically having a shut down....stopping everything to reconcentrate on your innards....what New Agers call centering down. But in Christ this becomes specifically what your RECREATED YOU, in direct connection with the Father is doing.
When you learn the Galatians 2:20 walk you don't do much "formal praying" or sometimes like me, youcannot even get to visit a church because they tell you to be silent or worse chuck you out.....so little formal Christianity remains....and so like Fred Pruitt or Nancy Gilmore or tons of us on here we don't go to church....we walk Christ in us as us all the time. And this is the secret of thirdlevel triggering.
Kisa isn't experiencing revival in a main Muslim region because central leaders in Kampala have laid their hands on him and prayed big charismatic prayers over him. It's because Kisa REFUSED to run when the police came 38 times to lock him away and beat him and poisoned him.....and Jesus Kisa wasn't running...so Kisa didn't run. Each stupid thing was unlocking spiritual doors in the heavens. This is how St Paul operated. To the world he just looks clumsy being locked up in prison all the time....but in the Spirit you can see Jesus unlocking the whole of Asia Minor for the gospel!!!!
My foretaste happened when I was going to France, because I refused to do what all the other students were doing....which was picking grapes...or going with student organisational bodies....no the Holy Spirit said...for you I want you to contact the most live church you can find....rue de Musset in Paris . That was November 1987. They wrote back and said you cannot stay here we have nobody to stay with. But the Spirit didn't say to do anything more. So months went by. The summer holidays came. I looked like an idiot....which is why I am now quite skilled at this!!!!.....then on the very last 2 weeks, as I finished my parent's huge hedges....a phone call came from Northern France....We used to be in rue de musset and heard of your request....come tomorrow."
People know that on the first morning God came through my fingers to electrically zap the mother so she lost her epilepsy in 10 seconds and got her driving licence back one year later from an atheist French government.
And the two weeks kind of went on like that!!!! It worked because Christ was opening doors....but ALSO this family RECEIVED THIS 20 year old student in the name of the Lord....and literally sucked all my Jesus out of me.
SO instead of Prayer Mountain which is still a bit formal.....
3rd level church gatherings should be collections of
PEOPLE who have walked all week long in the righteousness of God according to Galatians 2:20
and secondly....
EVERYBODY HUNGRILY Receiving each other in the Name of the Lord and not in the independent self delusion....AND SUCKING ALL JESUS OUT OF EACH OTHER.

WHERE THE DEAD BODY IS.....THERE THE HUNGRY CARRION GATHER

Yes I Am 25 - I Get Myself Back

Yes I Am by Norman Grubb
Chapter 25
I GET MYSELF BACK

Now we move on to the surprising and glorious effects on us of this total relationship of replacement-union. The chief one is the paradox.

A person might think that this inner consciousness of Christ in me, as me, would give me an enlarged consciousness of Him and an increased glorying in Him. It does... even though He has already been, for years, my precious Christ in the love relationship of the Song of Songs. But what becomes paradoxically new to me is a totally new self-acceptance. And here, at once, we move onto "dangerous ground" - not dangerous to us, but to onlookers like the daughters of Jerusalem in the Song! Because it seems to produce a newly inflated ego - I! It does. But of course, we who have entered in and are now in on the secret know the whole key - that it is a Satan-expressing ego which has first disappeared forever in His cross, before reappearing as our new Christ-expressing ego. But it is a total reappearing of the "I"! Why? Because it has been God’s fixed plan of grace from before the foundation of the world that He was going to have a vast company of fully liberated sons - liberated fully to be themselves - by whom He would fully be Himself embodied in human forms. Yet in that paradoxical relationship, unintelligible to those not initiated into it, the human "I" is its full spontaneous self, and acting as such. That is why I often say there is no egoist in history equal to our Lord Jesus Christ! He was always I, I, I – "I am the door," "I am the living bread," "I am the light," "I am the way." Emphatic self. Yet we who know Him are also aware - look within Him! - that He was always saying "I do nothing by Myself, but only what I see My Father do," and "If you see Me, you see the Father."
From just after the Pentecostal outbreak in the early 1900s people like Jessie Penn Lewis were catching this thirdlevel message. So what's been the holdup? Is it God? No. As in the natural, so in the Spirit.We've started to find out so much more of how we run in our brains, and in the rest of our bodies with DNA. As we start to catch how we are made up spiritually, we are then able to catch the Third level Message. The chapters of John 13 through 17 are largely meaningless to people who have not crossed the line of spirit going from believing ourselves to be "independent portable soul-units" to actual spirit beings with souls in flesh outer housings.(ACW)

That is precisely what happens to us. Before we know our exchanged life, while still in the struggles and self-condemnation of Romans 7, we dislike and downgrade ourselves - "O wretched man that I am!" We are compulsively negative about ourselves and deeply suspicious of what we think are our dangerous tendencies. So now it is an altogether new thing, and may take a little time to sink into us, that so far from downgrading ourselves, because He now accepts us, we now accept ourselves as His precious vessel, branch, body member, bride. Every part of us - our physical appetites, our soulish emotions and reasoning powers - are beautiful and wholly valuable as His outer means of manifestation. It usually takes a little time to realize this, just because we’ve been so used to thinking the opposite about ourselves.

So now we’re free to be ourselves, because we now know we are wholly His human forms. We live with raised, not lowered heads! Sure, we’re not unaware of the subtle misuse today by psychologists and many others of a false "self-acceptance" and "self-liberation to be ourselves." Indeed, this is universal, because the deceived natural man assumes he has no self except himself, and his only remedy for his self problems is the fraudulent build-up of himself as "inherently good." But just because there is a wave of modern, false emphasis on the buildup of self, that must not inhibit us from boldly accepting and affirming ourselves - we who truly know who we truly are!

One notable effect of this is also another kind of paradox - in that in our normal daily living, for most of the time, we forget who we are, and just function as ourselves. It is the same principle as in our professional lives. Once we are competent in our particular profession, as we’ve said before, whether a cook, teacher, carpenter, engineer, or whatever, we do not spend our hours reminding ourselves or others that we are this or that, but we just go ahead being it.
We don’t keep saying "I’m a teacher, I’m a teacher," but we just teach! So in precisely the same way, when we know that we are really He in us, we don’t keep running around reminding ourselves or telling that to others. We just do our daily job, enter into our daily conversations, etc., totally forgetting that it is He in us by us - but it is only He, all the time. So we don’t have to have special prayer times to "remind ourselves," though we love any chances we have for our secret inner-love tryst with Him. Nor do we have to come to the end of a busy day and condemn ourselves for not having thought more of Him. If we do that, He tells us not to be so foolish... for our doings and talkings were His all the time.

I don’t think my friend, Gloria, sister of former-President Carter, will mind me telling this story about her. About eight or more years ago we were together at a Faith at Work conference in Georgia, and during the weekend the Lord revealed to her the secret that she was really Christ in her form. When she returned home to Plains, she found a card in the mail asking her to speak on herbs at her garden club. But she told me that she knew little about herbs, so she spent the next day or two studying up on them. Then, after having given her lecture and returned home, she talked to the Lord in her room and asked His forgiveness because she had forgotten about Him those days because of her herb preparations. The answer He gave her: "What are you apologizing to Me for? I was co-herbing with you. That was My lecture, not yours!"

So we actually are free persons and learn to recognize ourselves as such - free to express our opinions, to make our judgments, to do our jobs, make our choices. Dangerous? It surely looks like that, and others would tell us it is - who don’t know the spontaneity of the union. But no danger to us who know our unchangeable oneness. We know that all we do is He, and we live the "dangerous life" of believing... which is knowing and thus recognizing that it is all He. We live spontaneously. If we cook, it is He doing the cooking. If we do our job, it is He doing it. If we have conversation, it is He conversing. Union in the Spirit is actual, factual. Where He is, we are. Where we are, He is. No hairbreadth separation between us can ever be possible.
