The Now Aspect of Faith

 

Living in Two Worlds - Our Priesthood

 

Let's Get To The Heart of the Submission Doctrine

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Life in the Melchizedek Order XIV : Nita Lafond Johnson "He climbed IN"

thru Annalize Mouton on Facebook with my comments. Annalize writes first:
This is what I have been trying to say for the past 20 years, and this what I know He is bringing us into. This is the maturity the believer has to walk in. Thank you Nita LaFond Johnson for sharing:
The truth is, there is a bridal company that’s going to come forth fully adorned in her bridal gown. But this bridal gown is going to be a gown that is the armor of God and it is going to be devastatingly dangerous to the enemy territory. Out of the womb of the morning dressed in holy array, this Melchizedek Priesthood will arise.
Everyday for two years -- while I am talking to you, please turn to Isaiah 11! Everyday for two years, I would get out my Bible and I would read the words:
Isaiah 11
“and shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse and a branch out of the root shall grow and bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and reverent and obedient fear of the Lord. And shall make him of a quick understanding and his delight shall be in the reverent and obedience fear of the Lord. And he shall not judge by the sight of his eyes neither decide the hearing of his ears but with righteousness and justice, shall he judge for the poor and decide fairness for the meek the poor and the downtrodden of the earth. He shall smite the earth and the oppressors with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips, he shall slay the wicked and righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.
I would read that and I would say: “Lord, I know this is about my Messiah, I know this is about the office of the coming Messiah but there is something inside of me that wants this gift and I will call it the kingdom yoke, the kingdom government. I want it so bad that it feels like I will die if you don’t tell me that I can have it. If I am praying amiss and I really shouldn’t be praying this prayer please help me to know and understand and I will cease to pray because I don’t want to offend You. But, if it is possible for us to have this, I want this!” I prayed like that every day for two years and I am telling you I meant it with all of my heart. I just thought that I was going to die if he did not tell me pretty soon that He was going to let me have this gift but I didn’t tell a living soul because you see, I am licensed with the Assemblies of God and if I had told anyone in my denomination what I was praying, I would have had scorns. I would have had rebukes. I would have had reproofs. I didn’t want anyone to squash my faith. So I thought if I am praying the wrong things, He is just going to have to tell me out of mercy so I could quit praying it. Otherwise I am going to keep praying until He says I can have it.
So one day I am sitting, two years I have been praying this, one day I am sitting and I am praying this to Him when He appears to me and He says to me “Nita, stand up, get up and come and stand next to me!” So I did and the minute I stood next to Him, this, I am sure you have heard or even seen pictures of yoke bars, like you would put on two heads of oxen. “You know what I am talking about, double yoke bar?” Just like this. “You know what I am talking about!” It suddenly appeared on His shoulders, grew and extended until it extended and sat on my shoulders and I become double yoked with Him. As I became double yoked with the Lord, as the yoke came and sat upon my shoulder, all of my humanity, I don’t what else to call it, but all of my humanity begin to go down, down, down, down, down and out of my feet. All of my human passion, all of my human emotions, my human thinking, my human ……it was like all my humanity just went down the drain. It was like I had been the bottle and the water is draining out of the bottom and you feel it draining out. That’s how I felt. And when it was done draining, I was empty. The minute I was empty, everything that was going on inside of Him begin to flood into me and go on inside of me. I experienced His meekness, His righteousness, and His fear of the Lord, His counsel, His understanding, the Seven Spirits of God. Everything that was going on inside of Him began to go on inside of me. Now listen to me very carefully, please! While this was occurring, I was totally transformed. 
 “My brothers and sisters, my dear precious brothers and sisters, it was like He had come and unzipped my back and climbed into my soul and was living out His life through me. Paul said “No longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me.”
 
Everything inside…
 I was no longer aware of me. You know when you walk with the Lord where we walk with Him here on this plain. We think about Him, we feel an occasional touch from the Lord. Some feel a manifested presence of the Lord constantly in their life but when you think about Him or when you pray, where is your mind? It focused on He who is sitting upon the throne where? “In heaven!” So I have spent years and years and years with this passionate hunger for the Lord, wanting Him so badly everyday, every minute of everyday of my life. I just felt like sometimes I was going to burst in two, trying to stretch myself between earth and heaven enough to reach Him and touch Him. But that day, there was no more seeing Him as someone who was a part from me.
“My brothers and sisters, my dear precious brothers and sisters, it was like He had come and unzipped my back and climbed into my soul and was living out His life through me. Paul said “No longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me.” In the States, Christians quote that all the time and they turn around five minutes later and backstab, talk about their neighbors, get angry over stuff they should never get angry over, steal from their boss.” Is this the one who is I no longer liveth but Christ liveth in me?” But that day it that precise moment it was really no longer me living in this body. I mean I was there somewhere but not like what I have been five minutes before for it was Christ living in this body. I didn’t see Him as someone separated from me. In fact I didn’t even think about Christ at all.
From the moment He entered in my body He was thinking His thoughts through my mind and the Lord spoke to me. “Nita! When Paul wrote the words “ye have the mind of Christ!” “What you are now experiencing is what he was speaking about!” Christians, I don’t know about here in Singapore but in the States, you know that’s got to be a big thing. Everyone has the mind of Christ! I think: “Oh! If that is how His mind works we are in trouble!” But when you read that verse in context, He is differentiating between the baby in Christ and the mature in Christ and He is saying to the mature, “Now ye have the mind of Christ!” And let me tell you what it means to have the mind of Christ. You are not thinking your thoughts. He is thinking His thoughts in your head. You are not even thinking His thoughts. “You understand what I am saying?” You are not even thinking His thoughts. You’re not trying to remember or memorize Scriptures. You’re not trying to meditate, hoping that a one liner will go through your mind. You’re not thinking His thoughts. He is thinking His thoughts through your mind. He has taken up residence in your soul. The sinful nature is gone.
We all have a sinful nature. “How many of you know that?” I mean like it didn’t disappear just because we got saved. One person said: “The day that I sinned my first sin after I got saved, I thought I was eternally lost because I thought I would never think that way again, but I did!” Well! We all have our sinful nature and we will all have our sinful nature until the day it is crucified by the Lord Himself. He has to do it. We can’t do it. When He crucified this sinful nature, “Are you understanding everything I am saying, raise your hand if you are understanding?”
When He crucified the sinful nature, there is no longer the human passion, there no longer the human emotions, the human character. That fallen nature - it doesn’t exist. It’s been removed and He comes in to dwell and so you are living now in the Divine nature. “What is the Divine nature?” Love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness is the fruits of the Spirit, meekness, temperance, faith. There’s such a meekness that Christ walked in. It will “beggar” description in human vernacular. He absolutely did not think about Himself and the thoughts or desires that He might have.
It was His ever-present joy to walk in obedience to the Father regardless of what that might mean. Even it might mean the cross. The Bible said: “He looked forward to the cross with joy. His joy was in obeying the Father knowing He was fulfilling the perfect will of the Father at every given moment. That was His joy, that was His effervescent joy and that was the mind and the heart and the person who was now indwelling my body.
I use to tell people when I would preach on walking with God in the deep things of God. I use to tell them I have this hunger to be possessed by God. Satanists want to be possessed by the devil but I want to be possessed by God. I want Him to possess my mind, I want Him to possess my heart, I want Him to possess my soul -- I want to be possessed by God. And when I would say that even as I said it, I didn’t have a comprehension of what that would mean. I just knew the hunger that I had inside of me.
Well, that day God possessed me. His mind possessed my mind. His heart possessed my heart. Christ possessed my soul. No longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me. Do you know that until you come to the place that I am talking to you about right now, you are not walking in what you have been created to be. Anything less than what I am telling you right now is subnormal Christianity. We are like a foetus. May I be very honest with you? We are like a fetus trying to live outside of the womb. If we not walking in that place, there can be some very mature Christians in the eyes of the church. But if they are not walking in what Paul says in the book of Ephesians, the fullness of the stature of Christ, they are not mature in the eyes of God. We are walking as fetuses unformed and were wondering why we are struggling as Christians. And there is no way to give the baby its full form, little alone its manhood without making that Christian a person of prayer.

Joubert Karin Sunday morning I cried: Come and Fill me with YOUR FIRE!
He said : NO!!! I DESIRE TO BE THE FIRE INSIDE OF you, not only fill your vessel,"

Chris Welch Keswick people a century ago described things in terms of possession. John Bunyan in Pilgrim's Progress just said the Cross...but he was meaning different from how Bill Graham meant the Cross. For a start it was halfway through the story...or beyond. it was another level of knowing the Cross, and straight after he was given armor as you have described here. Ephesians is much the same. it's kinda laid out in Ephesians 1,2 and 3...but then 4,5 and the first bit of 6 are about what happens when we take what is actually spiritually already true into worklife family life and church life. How key is that phrase in Ch. 5 Arise O sleeper rise from the dead. There seems to be a time where we go through a sleep, a death...like Abraham with the animal carcasses. We've done all that we can do. We're exhausted. Faint. In like a deep sleep. This is when God actually cuts covenant with us...maybe not with our spirit.He did that 2000 years ago. No, this is with the rest of us. Our soul. Our mind, will, and emotions.
Now in darkness you have to go through degrees. In freemasons it's 33 levels, one for every year of Jesus life....deliberately blasphemous....but also to mark the fact that God as a Man, maturing, required every one of those 33 years to be tempted in all points, and to be able to say finally in the Upper Room . "Well that's it!!! The devil HAS NOTHING IN ME!."
Well ofcourse in witchcraft and freemasonry it's the exact reverse. It's "devil take every part of me."

Chris Welch c(ontinued as it went off the bottom of the Facebook page)Now another description above is of the yoke.
And that's what Paul means when he says mature ones have "trained their senses in righteousness."
All yoking means is that you have walked consciously as Christ in us in OUR FORM deliberately for days months years decades.
You know when a track or furrow has been dug, you have to deliberately force another furrow for a while or else your wheels will just trace the previous route. That's all we're doing. You see spiritually God did it all. We come to Christ thinking it's just a change of opinion. or a change of mental assent . God din't exist, now He exists. Now I'm walking His ways.
But no....everything about our previous consciousness was wrong. Not just what we called sin. Our whole existence was sin. We believed we were self-powered. That's a straight lie from Satan himself. It was his spirit empowering us all along. Bob Dylan saw that immediately as soon as he was saved in his LP "Slow Train Coming. He knew instinctively

Chris Welch So the furrow we're retracing is two fold.
One that it is actually Christ Himself who has come in to live our life. And two.....according to Proverbs 3, we've spent our whole lives living from a "sense-driven " insight and not from a "Word -driven heart". So repentance or metanoia which means to move out beyond the confines of our nous, or slender insight programme....so that we live now based on God, then we USE our insight to work out the practicalities...but we DON'T base our life on the practicalities ever again. See, if we did, then Give and it shall be given unto you, makes no sense. Which is why people who are not born again live in desperation and survival...and cannot live out of the Regal position of Sons having a red carpet of supply rolled out from nowhere, as they proceed through life. The whole existence is different. It's not GENESIS 3....O a lying father deliberately preventing us from being gods by holding us back from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. NOPE not at all, it's a kind and loving Father supplying everything we need...not only to live abundantly...but so that our soul expands and grows to take on His Own HUUUUUGE Divine character growing out of our spiritual Union with Him. He's not holding back at all...but with His Son....freely giving everything to us in the Beloved!!! WOW ser!!!
This is what the thirdlevel of growth is...the Father level of 1 John 2.....he who KNOWS/is in UNION with Him who is from the beginning!!!

also through Annalize Mouton on Facebook
The Place of His Shared Being by Annie Schisler
Through a new encounter of my spirit with Jesus, I entered a place I had never been before. It was very special and high as it was an exclusively separated place for someone very special and loved.
Upon entering, He let me know this place was for the beloved. The beauty was overwhelming and great peace and security emanated everywhere. The incomparable holiness of Christ Himself could be felt. It was place without a single spot of contamination, purer than the purest crystal and impossible to be described with words. There was a complete absence of sin.
I could ascertain that not only Jesus was in that high place. But also the Father and the Holy Spirit were there in perfect harmony and unity! How can the holiness of that place ever be described? No adequate words can be found. That translucent purity was the love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that permanently flowed together in perfect and high love and unity. This infinitely high and sublime place was captivating and attractive beyond all description.
Afterwards I saw how Jesus Himself was that place. It was actually inside His own being. Then I was able to comprehend that the Father and the Holy Spirit were actually sharing the place that had been prepared for His beloved.
That place had been set aside for those who were completely surrendered to Him, the beloved who had absorbed Him as a sponge absorbs water. Just like the sponge has nothing in itself, it is empty in itself, but with great absorbing capacity, the beloved that enter into that place can draw into themselves the essence of the Trinity while being contain in the Trinity.
What a precious reward for those lives that walked the way of surrender! Being attracted by such pure and high love held in the Trinity and prepared for His beloved, is the most precious reward that can ever be imagined.
I then saw how His beloved changed from being like sponges into becoming liquid itself. They had undergone a metamorphosis so Christ Himself, being wholly integrated into His nature, could absorb them. They experienced this transformation for they had given themselves in love to Him.
I could identify with them as I understood that they were lives just like mine, because He had also made me part of that liquid. He rejoiced, and how greatly He expressed His joy that their surrender had prepared them for Himself only. It was a very beautiful condition with His beloved that had been prepared and awaiting Him. Having a body to share that beautiful something with produced in Him deep satisfaction, and fulfillment in the things done by Him. My whole being was moved by this part of Himself, and I was totally imbued with Him.
For instance he transported me out of this place and I saw extremely high walls without doors or windows. When He took me closer, I saw that the walls were huge beautiful angels that protected this place so that only those chosen by God were allowed to enter.
I saw how the lives that had been absorbed in Jesus' inner world had received the capacity of going out filled by the power that emanated from Himself to accomplish His will.
It is glorious to mature and increasingly develop in the understanding of the things God was revealing. All things He showed me were brought to pass in an operation of permanent life, and nothing was wasted. I could see how the people that sincerely allowed and received this operation of the life of Jesus in their hearts, came into a place where God revealed ever-increasing understanding of Himself and His kingdom.
From inside of Jesus' person, all things look so different. This life was prepared to imbue His people with the very essence of Himself. Hearts will be awakened and strengthened in God Himself. I could not help being amazed by all this. I felt such assurance as I dwelt there. His control was absolute.
It is the very light of God that cannot remain confined, but that will extend out from itself, bringing about a great end-time harvest.

FreeFall

These are notes I wrote about the subject for a Facebook Thread.
I and II

One thing I DO FEEL is to share some more clarity in what God is doing.
FREEFALL.
Or what Norman calls the FREEFALL of faith.
It is a very different walk from the charismatic walk.
Here's how.
As good as my walk was
my intense seeking after the Lord
masses of praying privately, tons of meetings
the same to do with worship
serving the Body in tons of different ways as Bible House
as good as this was.............
the whole foundation of our walk needs to change.
It's what do I want to do.
What does this Jesus /I want to do.
It's not what SHOULD THIS separate I be doing to find favour with God.
That's death, ultimately.
God does bless it temporarily...but HIS ACTUAL BLESSING IS NOT ON IT.
He is more really blessing the "faith of His Son " in us, that is at this child or young man stage of development....
BUT THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM SAYING GOD is blessing our SPLIT VIEW LIVING, OUR DUAL MASTER LIVING
God can't bless that.
And if right now you don't feel like praying
or praising
or seeking Him
or doing anything spiritual
God actually prefers waiting until we've got hungry on our insides.
For that is Freefall
It's believing that we won't fall forever but God's own life will come from underneath and buoy us up....and start driving us.
Ultimately this is the panic and the manic quality we now hear and recognise in some of the charismatic stuff....the basic inability to believe that Jesus is actually our Life....so we'd better "do" something then.
No. Thankfully Jesus isn't that unreal. If He came into us, He came in as OUR LIFE. So it is....Chris....what do you WANT to DO?
Now there ARE insufficiencies to this...like the tendency to always stick with what we know....and Jesus has these great ways of shaking our nests...so we as birds begin to fly in new areas!!
But basically we have everything pertaining to Life and godliness.
If anything we just have to familiarize ourselves with it.
For example....faith doesn't work in the leftbrain.
We Westerners have to reaccustom our senses to the working of miracles which happen with different parts of us.
We also as I shared with Rich, have to learn the protocols of the Melchizedek Order....because it's a whole different order from our own one. IT IS Psalm 123....staring at our Master like a servant...and waiting until He moves with His eye, or flicks His hand.
And none of it is seen with the natural eye. Up until now I've only sensed this stuff....I've not really "seen" this stuff with my inner eye. And that is what the Cuban ex nun was trying to teach some of us....and I got as far as being aware of angelic soldiers once.
The other difference about FREEFALL
is taking our life JUST AS IT IS RIGHT NOW.
Not trying to manipulate things to make them a bit better so that then we feel we can bring them to the Lord.
NOPE. It's saying that the disaster right now of all the things in our lives that are hard for us to face or even willing to face   ARE IN FACT MEANT, though they just seem so way beyond our faith...no more than that, we find it hard to accept this going on in our world....because GOD BEING GOD and this present in His world seem so incompatible that rather than try to reconcile the two, we enter into a kind of denial about them. (Many personal and family details have been removed from this international post)

You see if you read the Bible....the promises that were given weren't generally fulfilled in a STRAIGHT LINE.....but rather meandery.
And this is FREEFALL LIFE.....it's kind of life as we never would have chosen....and life that you want to keep your posh friends in the pride of life, from knowing about....but God is in the background chuckling....still working His stuff out.
I think in the charismatic realm you never truly enter freefall because you designate to God how life is going to be....
but none of us as James says, knows what our life will be,
they designate what their idea of church looks like
how its run
where it shall be
the sort of people that shall be in it
All total rubbish
because ecclesia always .....E's...or goes outside e- clesia, called out from among others
and we never know the next shape or form
In fact I'm expecting what God has done here to wind up shortly
either through persecution or other pressures.
If we think about the last move
in the sixties individuals got Spirit filled
for a while they met in prayer groups and round peoples homes,
but it was less than 5 years or so before the new churches started
and the Bible weeks....
what I'm saying is the Word gives shape to the format.
That's freefall.
Those NOT with the cloud shape their Word TO THE FORMAT.
But God's parable of the wedding Feast continually applies
"the sons of the Kingdom don't want the wedding invitaions , so
go out into the highways and by ways and COMPEL them come in
so the Word is always going outside, and expanding in its new ramifications.

Rich wrote:
Freefall is when we realize our "life" is really none of our business, and knowing He is taking us to the place we just don't care anymore about the things the people care about who are still serving the "Two Master" lie. Only God only NOW is FREEFALL! “

Freefall is a BET.
Freefall is a risk.
Freefall is the external proof that we are "Trusting God with All our heart"
All of Jesus Life was "FreeFall"...but He entered into Freefall par excellence in the Garden of Gethsemane as Daniel Yordy has written.
Freefall in the life of a teen is represented by giving your life at a young age with total abandon. This is called FIRSTLOVE. For two reasons. Jesus becomes your firstlove out of all possible loves demanding your life. But He literally becomes your First Love. You have not lived long enough to have a proper Love yet...and here you are giving it to Jesus.

NOW WE ONLY GET ONE YOUTH.
AND OUR HORMONES ARE NEVER IN THAT STATE AGAIN.
Truly this is young love.

Can you imagine how precious it is to the Lord that young people give Him their heart?
BEFORE MAKING A WRECK OF THEIR LIVES?
BEFORE ALL THINGS?

Can you see now what power and Kingdom leverage is made available by this kind of Firstlove. It's like giving your Virginity to Jesus. Ofcourse not physically. But in your soul and spirit you have not given yourself to any other yet.
The driving force of this kind of sacrifice is so immense it is in scripture:

the driving  force of this kind of sacrifice is so immense it is in scripture:
Psalm 110 (Young's Literal Translation)
1 The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'
² The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.
³ Thy people [are] free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.” END

You look at any revival, and somewhere in the mix are sold out youngsters.
One of our roles as ministries of the Melchizedek Order, the order of First Love, is to garner God’s barns with fresh produce.
He delights in us preaching to young people. They above all are a demonstration to all that God’s Kingdom doesn’t rest on understanding....the young cannot hope to have huge understanding...it’s unfair to even demand that they do, as ministers demanded of me when I was only 13  or 14.
NO.....above all the Kingdom burns on the FUEL of FIRSTLOVE
on the fuel of RAW DESIRE....

and the King returns it (Psalm 45)  with "the King desires your beauty....."

But there’s another type : SOLD OUT PEOPLE of any age
“THY PEOPLE are free-will gifts in the day of thy strength.”

Now Rich has just written this sentence :
Our Negative Need!

And He has said to me, "My Grace is sufficient for you, for (positive) power is perfected in (negative) weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell IN me. II Corinthians 12:9

We are His absolute negative, the empty vessels created by Him IN weakness, just as He is the only absolute positive.
And like Paul, we boast IN our weakness, so that His power can be manifested IN and through us. We are the negative, He is the positive (think of a battery) and when the negative-positive relationship is right...power is always released!
Mother Basilea Schlink said “ Go the Way of the Lamb it is a Way of Great Power.”
And Annalize has highlighted
”Behold it is said of me in the book. I come to do Thy Will. A Body thou hast prepared for Me.”


Remember I said that Third level living was first and foremost permission. Giving permission to God to do whatever. Then when Jesus said yes to the Father He was effectively put on a conveyor belt of circumstances fully beyond His or anyone else’s control.....which led straight through the Cross right out the other side 3 days later as He stepped out of the tomb into the daylight, as if nothing at all had happened!
The whole thing was a risk. He only had one Life here on earth. Here He was really at a stage of perfect humanity....33 years old. Fully grown male.  What a shame and a waste to send this specimen so young into the grave?

Yet in that total weak form....which by the way wasn’t that weak...if you consider all that he endured physically and psychologically AND STILL managed to carry His cross at least half way to Golgotha. Even that alone is pretty darned cool  superhero wise.
But He had allowed Himself to be made weak that God in Him might be shown STRONG for ALL TIME.

We only begin our arc downwards...well if you are like me...from a well to do family, educated in a good school, with many many gifts, slowly in freefall.

Jesus BEGAN IN HEAVEN, as the second Person of the Trinity, laying aside ALL POWER AND DIVINITY.

Nobody at any time has made the journey from the Highest heights down to the lowest lows of a death on a Cross. For this reason is Jesus preeminent.

But here is the real point of what I wanted to stress yesterday about Freefall.

What lends such power to Freefall?
It is Will....freely abandoned.
The two scriptures about the devil in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 are about his defiant  WILL.

Let’s go sideways a moment.

People observed the Desert fathers in the first centuries of the church, looked at their circumstances externally, and were astounded at the power these guys operated in. “We want some of that”, they thought. So, working backwards they tried to emulate the surroundings, the solitariness, the beatings, the harshness.....

and you got into self-flagellation
monasticism
absolute silence or solitariness
absolute simplicity of life.......

and you know what....maybe some revivals have been prayed in by such...but we don’t really know....and ANYWAY there is one vital ingredient missing.

EVERYTHING IS KNOWN.
EVERYTHING IS MANIPULATED.
YOU COULD LEAVE AT ANY TIME.
THE MISSING INGREDIENT IS NOT THERE.....

Powerlessness, and Unknowingness.
Being Locked IN....so actually there is no way out UNLESS GOD.....

When Jesus died on the Cross....there was no safety failsafe. No trap doors.
God the Father either raised Jesus up, or He was stuffed.

Norman Grubb, if you think about it, went from Cambridge buff, to forming the prototype of all Christian Unions in Universities, to helping CT Studd to form and run WEC, set up InterVarsity Press, wrote one of the most read books last century : Rees Howells Intercessor, and allowed himself to enter into a FreeFall whereby he sunk and sunk and sunk. His own organistions disowned him.
But he let all this happen as an intercession, because he knew he was right. He knew he had discovered the third level....which actually had always been there throughout all scripture....but he allowed himself to be connected to a very small group called Zerubbabel, whose magazine Fred Pruitt set up. And he contented himself with that KNOWING that from this seed....somehow or other....God was going to grant him the reward of his final intercessionary stand, that people would know the Father level, and that this knowledge would go out through the whole Earth.

It’s a faith risk.
Allowing the whole of your life to be stripped bare to the point where there is just you and the Word God has given you means you feel so out of control. You are so “out of charge”....and with your eyes you have nothing to go on. It could all prove a total waste of that precious one off commodity that we all have....
ONE CRACK AT LIVING LIFE DOWN HERE ON EARTH.

So charismatics who seek to impress you with
the hours they pray
the worship sessions they do
the amount of money they give
the projects they do to help others
the amount of meetings their own children attend

ALL THIS doesn’t BEGIN to stack up against the THIRD LEVEL, because essentially
THEIR OWN WILL has never been tampered with.
Their reputation with other men and women is untarnished.
They are still one of the crowd.
Their good works receive many pats on the back.
They haven’t even begun to be a threat to the Kingdom of Darkness.
And they have probably never really experienced the true Melchizedek Order in their lives.
BUT MOST OF ALL....never at any point were they LOCKED INTO THE WILL OF GOD ON EARTH with no escape. They would never ever allow their precious will to be put in such a vulnerable position....

BECAUSE THAT WOULD             MEAN
FREEFALL........


IV

Isaiah 58 which is a very key thirdlevel chapter has a related Freefall verse right here in verse 7

And from thine own flesh hide not thyself?

Remember in my freefall notes I said about our family, and that from a Christian point of view my extended family is "an embarrassment".
But it's real.
Anybody who knows the rather stilted feel of a load of Christian families, knows they mostly haven't been allowed to be real. And the toughest pressures are on pastor's kids.

Unless we are real. Unless people are really in touch with what is their agenda, their heart, their goals in life....
God cannot really meet with them. They are hiding and pretending with Him and with all those around.

Stan Warren who used to lead the Bible House noted wryly that the "better the family", the longer it took the offspring to come through in God. they had to die to their goody goodyness.

From thine own flesh hide not thyself has two meanings.
We have to deal with our surroundings as they ARE not how we'd like them to be. And let's face it...it often feels overwhelming. Certainly way past our own faith levels. Our environment seems planned this way to take us way beyond our depth, into God reality.
IF WE DON'T HIDE!!!

But this phrase also means facing our own mortal bodies full on.
Jesus says He has defeated Death, but that this is the Last Enemy.
So as Daniel urges us, we either believe what we see in the cells in our body, or we believe the Word.

That we have died at our spirit centre and that we are now exporting resurrected life out to the rest of us...our soul and body.
"He, the Spirit, who raised Christ from the dead shall surely give life to our mortal bodies."

But an aspect of freefall is REFUSING to put up our arms to defend us from what we are surrounded by....but to face things full on, in family,in our own bodies.....

Jesus does a small spoof on Pharisaism when He says
you say you are not available for your family, or to give support for your family, but say "This is Korban. This is reserved for God"

You can hear Him say it can't you?

Why is this so important?
Well ministry in the Melchizedek Order is based on RAW LIFE.Heb 7:16 who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,an indestructible life

So our ministry IS LIFE

Consequently if we see some divorce going on between God going on daily family/home/work life......and charismatic or evangelical meetings

If we see "burdens" being saddled around people's necks by their church structures, rather than being RELEASED INTO Life in greater abundance.... we know something is wrong.
There's some illusion that "our church life is KORBAN"

Baloney. It's not Korban. It's GOD PLUS. It's religion.

Now I know the first bit of God invading our independent self lifestyles is really tough. And what typically has happened so far is self-satisfied leadership has looked on smugly at third level stuff and said...
"There, just as I thought. This is all you can expect from thirdlevel teaching. It's divisive. it breaks things up."
Funny that, they said that about the Holy Spirit coming into congregations.

But all that is happening is that the Holy Spirit XRay specs are being brought to bear on what were very unhealthy relationships, that were far from being GOD ONLY going on.

So yes...
the state of Freefall is to REFUSE all the normal "flesh" compliances we make through our day to "appease" people that shouldn't be appeased....
in order to keep things running, that should really have stopped or changed format years ago....

            and if it has rough consequences....well so be it....we are in freefall.

This Facebook Thread and Meetings in General
I was saying to Annalize the other day that Jorge Pradas always used to say to us....."Don't get too steamed up about Truth. Truth is like a self-righting buoy, or like one of those Weeble toys. It doesn't matter how you submerge them or knock them over, the genuine Truth always pops right back up again."
In that way you can tell an authoritative person. They don't get easily phased because they are absolutely convinced about this.
For us here, this is really important, especially as we get those aching yearnings deep within. Holy Spirit groanings too deep for words. It means the Holy Spirit is about to move on. Now for us here, if you think about it...
WE HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN IN AN ENVIRONMENT where we weren't the lone voice the lone prophet.
AT ALL PREVIOUS TIMES IN OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE when we were groaning, wanting more, sure there was more, sure we'd hardly even started yet.....there was only us...or maybe one or two others of a similar spirit.....
Here is quite weird.
You can communicate almost immediately what you have received. In any other environment it was
wait 20 years
say nothing
or introduce tidbits cautiously.
But even so, when we are right at the fringes of what God is currently saying.....perhaps as Daniel or Rich or Annalize have been sharing...
I know one part has been trying to click into each other's lingo.
And it is GOOD that we have different lingo. Because most of the church moves they all speak
YWAM
or NEW FRONTIERS
or ROB RUFUS
or THE MOVE.
it's actually nice that Frances writes weird things about 3 months ahead of them becoming relevant. i actually remember reading it now. But i'd forgotten all about it.
But Back to Freefall...
you see it's NOT ENTIRELY FREEFALL...it just looks that way to human eyes. The Truth is we are gradually accustoming all our eyes to the Melchizedek Order, to that realm of the servant looking at the Master in Psalm 123.
That's WHY I have confidence that there is NO ONE LEADER here humanly. There doesn't really need to be if our eyes are fixed on this REALITY which is the Melchizedek Order.
So ..........
1. we don't need to fight each other about truth
for example look at this
on one day Daniel writes a piece saying if God says something and his heart can't go along with it, that God is big enough to not FORCE him to do something his heart is not in........
and the very same day I am writing a section on what Lordship means, and that when He comes as Lord, in that atmosphere it frankly isn't up to how we feel about it........
Now formerly that would have split entire church networks
And DID actually
The Lordship one was Bradford and Bryn Jones
and feely wheeelies were Pioneer and Gerald Coates and they split for 15 years or so, before starting to meet up again.....
But you see these polar tensions are A. the difference between our "surface issues" and our "true innerheart position"
and B. just different tribe positions somewhere in the 12 tribes of Truth that is Israel.....or the mass of humankind!!!

2. So ifTruth is real, the Melchizedek order certainly is....so we just enter into our inner room together or singly
shut the Door on all the other traffic in our lives
and meet with the Father in secret
to be able to get a stronger fix again on the Melchizedek order signal
and as we have seen here
people are then given stuff to share
and we are "joined by that (Christ substance) that each joint supplies"

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.
