Good Friday To You All

 

The All of Life concept

 Crowley writes spell books. So you think you are reading them at the surface level of meaning , but other hooks are happening .

Witches use a whole host of "means ". Animated writing . Writing that others can't see .

Do you see that while there is a power of God to do freaky things , the sheer power of God that the devil tries to emulate , is that every natural thing is a prophecy in plain sight ?

I will repeat that .

Every thing in our life is a direct prophecy of something .

God going on is this CENTRAL SOURCE LIFE .

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE ANYTHING .

IT IS .

To even have existence building his own separate throne , everything the devil does must be to the left or right of God's life .

If he stays too far , then it must be done in extreme shadows , hence the word occult . Why ? Because we , whoever we are , are repulsed by the devil's extremes , having come from God ourselves . We haven't come from God as Jesus who is the Second Person of God , came from God . But nevertheless we are creatures of His design , and are repulsed were Satan to reveal who he is and the depths of his works and thoughts . 

So he has to hang around pretty close to where the action is . That's what Revelation 12 is saying .

He hangs around seeing what's next .

He hangs around waiting for the Next Manchild . The next thing conceived and brought forth from God .

What I'm trying to get over is the " work " of our generation . It's been exceedingly subtle .

God said to us " set up a way in the wilderness for multitudes to walk upon "

The parable of the servants in the field says that one portion of things , is very visible , external service . Then there's the service at the Master's table until He is satisfied .

Jesus Himself , as a Man did things in this order .

First 30 years , very outward service , including local carpenter  

Then He entered into ministry " serving the Master " at table . When the Father was satisfied . The work of the Cross . The " it is finished " at the Cross. The willingness to go ahead in Gethsemane . " Nevertheless , not My will but Thine be done ....etc 

God the Father raised Jesus , to make Him Lord and Christ and put on servants garb to serve His Son , as Jesus , now Name above all Names , is given as Head to the Church .

Jesus is doing two things .

To the 7 billion in the world , people of faith and no faith , He is doing a mega , massive version of hiding His Face like Joseph did , and getting the brothers to do an operation WHEREBY THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY DID TO HIM .

THE MILITARY CALL IT OPTICS .

We across the earth have to see what Genesis 3 is .

What a crock Satan's lie is .

That there's nothing that truly exists outside of God .

So that all learn life on this planet .

We have to see that .

Each and everybody personally , intrinsic to us .

As we are going into the kitchen , we have to learn if it's God doing it .

If we are with friends we have to learn love ....if it is God doing it .

If we are bringing up kids , if it is God doing it .

If we are selling , when it is manipulation , and when it is God wanting the person to have an item .

If we are addressing an item of politics .....basic administration .....whether God is in that policy .

People have to see if for themselves .

This TOO is the meaning of " Surely as truly as I live all the world will be filled with the knowledge of My glory as the waters cover the sea".

So there's the Romans 1 in creation aspect of glory .The sunsets and the oceans  and the high glorious mountains etc 

There's the hidden away at the Master's table aspect of glory , serving Him in praise until He is satisfied . I spent , along with many charismatics , my teens , and twenties doing that , leading in worship and writing songs , and learning to extemporise on flute , classical guitar and then a bit on keyboards before the Throne in worship gatherings . Dave Tomlinson did his apostling of early house church groups across the North of England as a late teen and into his twenties , but then he knew there was something we were missing .

Norman Grubb and his wife Pauline came to the same conclusion a whole generation prior as they served as missionaries .

David learned about the four stages humans pass through from M Scott Peck . Norman learned about the last three stages mentioned as 1 John 2 in the Bible .

So a whole generation of us have been learning Galatians 2.20 in whole of life for the last 35 years or so . Its like an extended meeting where the same Holy Spirit directs us to do things ....it's just a much longer meeting .

If we get too caught up with finding Jesus as an emotion , as a felt Presence .....we miss jumping in with both feet holding our nose .....and believing that the same God who directs meetings , is well able to direct the whole of life .

This is something of the " cut off " that the Fisherfolk made from the early charismatic part of their lives and serving the new movement in Britain from Yeldall Manor in Britain , to when , if any of you recall , they disappeared off to a Scottish Island to find themselves further as an all of life community .

Betty Pulkingham wrote the Book " Celebrate the Whole of it ". It's very significant that she wrote this book because she was the trained musician . And like me jacking in the role of just being a musician she was making a whole of life statement .

This was the point I was making in the sentence that I included Adam Michael Kranichfield .

The devil never made the transition .And if you've ever led in worship and tasted the collective power of leading worship as I have , you sort of understand the choice the devil was faced with .

And he chose the wrong choice .

There's a whole generation of charismatics who have got bored with the charismatic scene , or sensed it's missing something , and they have left the arena !!!!

Now is the danger moment . Will they find the Truth ?

Or will they go and find the squiggly animated writing ? Will they be like Solomon , led into the seduction of the deepest darkest rituals of black magic and controlling 72 demons or whatever , which has now become the central lore of Freemasonry , and Kabbalism and Crowley , and trying to create transhumanism and being a part of the Beast system .

Jesus was inserted right there , Into that very lineage of evil some 2000 years early . He was inserted into the Beast system , the one Nebuchadnezzar tasted for 7 years then confessed that God was the glorious Potentate , and not him at all . Jesus was born in a beast feeding trough in the House of Bread .

The whole Feast system is built around Bread .

The Feast of Tabernacles is built around the Feadt of the outpouring of the Water .

And its built round the Feast of Ingathering .

And the framework or Infrastructure is flimsy 4 Wood tabernacles with a roof with holes in .

It's a safe infrastructure to bring people into .....But it's NOT THE THING . ITS NOT A STONE TEMPLE .

Because THE THING is flesh and blood Jesus in you and me .

So , yes there's gifts of the Spirit , and extraordinary things . Yes ,there's going to be the Presence of God like you won't believe  ....

But the carrying Acacia box base is buying the field of mud , to get the treasure .

That's the point I was trying to make .

We are in the middle of something way higher than trying to get high , or some Crowleyan spell like writings ,or witches animated writings on stones in the mountains , where like Mount Hermon there is a portal and Jessie Czebotar says there are many under the earth waiting to be raised .

Lift up your heads o ye Gates etc 

We aren't in a charismatic middling realm .

Pentecost isn't the final destination, it's the eating of Bread . It's letting Jesus form Himself in me .

When I was in adultery , my desperate mum contacted her previous reverend who was our minister in Berkhamsted Methodist Church .

Maurice Cartledge was always born again but now he was part of the new move getting baptised in the Spirit. He knew David Tomlinson , so he contacted him . Dave contacted Alan Vincent ( father of Rachel Hickson by the way) and Alan came and investigated us  . At the time we were walking correctly .

But one day a few months later , we fell just once more . Once more and the very next day like the prophet on King David's doorstep , Alan , who was from about 15 or 20 miles away , was at the door asking us point blank ......

Or me , more precisely ....because that was the chain of people set in motion by my Mum .....

Did you commit adultery ?

And so it is , 46 years later I am here on the South Coast and not in the Herts and Bucks area , where Alan and Eileen drove me , where God could re establish my life .

There's something better than the charismatic / Pentecostal message and it's Romans 12.1-2, whole of life worship , and placement , and 

BEING ON LOCATION FOR GOD .

The Holy Place and the Holiest Place: Two Different Operations entirely

Some Mormons building a replica Tabernacle of Moses

The holy place and the holiest place are both Spirit areas of the heavenly Tabernacle.
That is, there is NO sunlight. The covered area functions inside the area of illumination and revelation.
There is a distinction though between the two parts of the covered area.
Unless we “ arrive” in the Kingdom totally broken, like Mary Magdalen and the first 3000 on the day of Acts who KNEW FIRSTHAND THAT YES, they had participated in the death of God Himself....
and had to choose , either like the rest of Jews today to be offended, or simply confess their part and be born again that day.

But usually it’s too much to leave our Genesis 3 world of natural separation thinking and go straight into the Light of the Lord. So for this we have a transition stage
of accustomisation to the Lord Himself who is Spirit, and is both the Manna and the Light of His Temple.

For this we have spiritual gifts.
We have the preaching of Anointed Word, either by secondlevellers, or preferably , were there more, thirdlevellers.
We have the new knowledge that we can
“ experientially crown Jesus” in entering His Presence with praise and thanksgiving.

“ Praise waits for You O Lord”

We learn firsthand the new Psalm 123 protocols of “ waiting on the Lord”
Exchanging our strength.... both physical AND MENTAL for His strength.

Are you waiting for a “BUT”
Are you waiting for the point of this post?
For the “ you have heard it said.... but I say unto you”.

For 50 to 100 years we have learned various “ techniques” for “ rubbing the Aladdin’s Lamp”
awaiting the genie to appear.

I am NOT SAYING IT IS NOT REAL.
Jesus Himself says
if you gather in My Name there I AM in your midst

He also says in Hebrews through the writer
“For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2:11-12‬ ‭KJV‬‬ https://www.bible.com/bible/1/heb.2.11-12.kjv

From the loud feisty Baptist Church ( and I began in one , so I know)
through the High Anglican pure choral sound singing the Word of God
down to Bethel’s worship

Jesus Christ in different measures is inhabiting those beautiful sounds and giving revelation and confirmation of His Presence.

So please.... as I start to topple your birds nests, don’t think that what you have been in isn’t real. I get the impression with Jim Palmer and many others that they are going one stage too far with the baby and the bath water.... And the Jesus Baby doesn’t like it!!!!

I can only describe what happened to me.
To me , on three major occasions Gods Presence came in the kind of way where
whatever you decide or say in your heart
defines your whole life.

There’s a fourth one , but that was part of my beginners package, on the day I was baptised in the Spirit.

At 16 , God came into my bedroom and asked me how far I wanted to go.
I didn’t understand theology and grace , so I said what I knew. “ As far as I can”

As you more clever people will know , it’s not up to how far we do anything.... it’s up to us letting Jesus who has done everything work things inside us according to His own power.

The next one was the corporate gathering at Harrowgate Dales Bible Week 1976, where Ern Baxter simply asked us all like Mary , not to understand how, but to believe and simply say yes to the actual Jesus Christ being birthed within us.

The final one came a bit Jacob like. Remember Jacob was so pig sick with all that had happened . ( Apocryphal books say that he’d also been mugged and robbed of all his money so that’s why he had to place himself at the mercy of fellow “ money grabber” his uncle Laban. But he was so fed up he’d chosen a rock for a pillow!!! And God turned up of all places with a staggering dream.
He called the place the house of God, Bethel.

I was angry with Emsworth church, and so puzzled that that which Id sold everything for, in terms of relationships and university... had turned out such rubbish. This was December 1987 up a mountain inNorth Wales.

God ignored my anger at Emsworth church and just said
“ what is that to do with you? Do YOU WANT ME????”

So I stepped over that Romans 12.1 freefall line so many of us have “ clumsily “ stepped over which means like the Son of Man we have no place to call our home, no place to lay our head. We are marked men.

I say this because there’s a time when eating bird food in a nest is not enough. Either you, or we as mother birds have to do you a favour and kick you out of your nests so you learn
psalm 84..... how you fly around the altars of God yourself.

There’s two sides.
You have to learn the Galatians 2.20 walk
You have to learn to move within the Shekinah glory.

But here’s the thing now
It’s not in a meeting any more.
You have to learn what it is to be taken where you don’t want to go.
You have to be placed in places where you don’t want, but inside you are conscious, hey I need this to “ add to my faith”.

You have no idea what is best for you, but God does. He KNOWS HOW TO PULL OUT OF YOUR THINKING AND EXPERIENCE EVERY LAST SHRED OF GENESIS 3 thinking and living.

Colander Living

Let me just add one final thing in the difference between
THE HOLY PLACE

AND

THE HOLIEST PLACE

In the holy place , like Bethel, you are still doing things to get the Presence of God....

but then like one of those kitchen Colanders , the vestiges of your Genesis 3 thinking and being are like holes through which the the waters of God seap out....

and so we marvel how like Benny Hinn , in order to “ keep his anointing “ the poor chap has to pray for hours a day to make up for all the holes in his colander.

The Thirdlevel is about destroying your colander altogether so that like a whole uncracked pot, you haven’t got any cracks or very few..... and your whole day like Jesus ,
is just about doing what the Father is doing next anyway.

It’s a whole different way of living and viewing things.

Further reading David Swan's book 

Romans 12 : 2 proof is related to Romans 12.1

Here's a mystery but you will see how big it's meaning is any second.
Romans 12 : 2 proof is related to Romans 12.1
Here are the verses again
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, [a]acceptable to God, which is your [b]spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this [c]world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may [d]prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [e]acceptable and perfect.
We are not given a lot of help when we are born...
but the Bible if it comes into our environment...
or perhaps a Christian...
or maybe a person of general faith....
basically we MAY start to get a general idea.
If we do hear of Jesus .He says...
OK start this way...from cold....and do these types of things...
Do not heap up mantras and prayers and liturgies...this is the pagan way to somehow "prove " to a god or God that they are OK...no don't do that....
connect in secret....right inside your house, away from noise and interruption, in your secret place inside you and see if you can find the Father, connect with the Fathe and His voice inside your very being....
So already we are connecting with a strange idea that is going to repeat and repeat....
That is of giving space to God to work, to show Himself, to be proof to you, bearing in mind He is not material, He is Spirit, so this is His way of doing it.
Then when you have tried that one, says Jesus....
Give.
That is, "clear a space" in your own legitimately earned finance for God to move....
and not only return...but give to you from all angles pressed down and running over....in the sort of measure and commitment which you have first given.
Give space to God and He will fill it again....same kind of thing as before
Then Jesus says, when you gather together....instead of just gathering in your own name and being glad to see each other...
give all of that over to me....
Together, gather in My Name and God's Name, but this time together as a bunch of people....
And SEE if I don't fill it with My own Presence among you.
Suck it and see.
Then Jesus says things like....instead of just receiving each other in your own names....receive them INSIDE ME.
Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.
Now do the same with GO.
Dont just GO as you are used to doing....
Go in My Name and I guarantee things will start happening, signs will follow after. Here, let's try it...
Don't take any money, or spare clothing....just go as you are and declare God is Here, the Kingdom is here...you try it....
then when you see, we will send 70 out.....says Jesus to His disciples
Do you start to see the build up?
We start in the absolute cold, only knowing life according to our 5 sense evaluations, and here is Jesus saying...
Go risk something....
Go make some space....
See if God doesn't show up
In other words PROVE TO your self and your own inner knowing that God is true to every Word He speaks.
Then comes Romans 12.1
This is like the third level entry point in 1 John 2....
You have dipped your toe in.
You have baptised your knees and middle.
And you have proved what God says He keeps to.
So if Igive my whole body, my agenda my brain, my heart, my future and past, my present, my emotions my skills....
Everything as a living sacrifice 24/7......wow....do you think God will actually show up???
That is the relevance of Romans 12.2.......the PROOF
That you may PROVE....
Prove what?
Prove what it is like when God's Will is actually on test, or on a testbed in a laboratory.....
Prove that He the SOLE SOURCE OF LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE.....if allowed to BE HIS LIFE IN YOU....
is going to be
PRESSED DOWN,RUNNING OVER
RIVERS OF LIVING waters
and if all that God does through you could be written in books....then the world could not fit it all in again.
Acceptable has completely the wrong sound in modern parlance....like it's barely acceptable...it's OK but not great.
That isnt what it means at all....
One of the things it means is that you will be acceptable to all types of people who will respond to God in you.
it means much more than being loved in Christian bookshops, but its the only thing I can think of off the top of ,my head.
40 years on hardly anybody is reading the Ascent of Man by Bronowski. After all the TV acclaim in his lifetime.
Who has heard of him today among the young?
but those finding Christ are already reading Watchman Nee and the great books from the past that still hold true.
Catholics may not recognise God filling ladies, and may burn them but 400 years on Madame Guyon is still being read by us along with Jacob Boehme, who actually stated that God had shown him he was writing for people hundreds of years from his time. Same was true of St Paul and the apostles.
Acceptable means.....this thing really works...it's a go-er !!!!
Christ in us the hope , the sure definite hope, of glory.
How so sure?
Well we have some now burning inside us like oil.

Yes It's time to go Beyond

Well you can't help be stirred by present politics in the media. It's like the whole of the bipartisan choice system, erroneously called democracy, is creaking and groaning under its own old age.
And in direct parallel, since all things are parallel, we have come to the end of pyramid church. Both systems, which in the Spirit are exactly the same under close Xray....now have one of those Diversion signs that says," you cannot cross beyond this point."
Here's the thing I feel God has slipped into my insides.
Corporately speaking the whole of history has NOT MOVED ON from the days of Moses going up the Mountain.
i will repeat that.
Essentially NOTHING has changed in the Spirit on a corporate level since Moses asked "who will follow me into God's Presence up in the Mountain?" and absolutely everybody stayed down below.
Ever since then we have remained below.
We have even caught glimpses of how things should be....namely the greeks seeing democracy....and
staying below, we have tried to shoehorn it into planet earth.
But the "glass slipper" won't fit ugly sisters.
Back up a little bit.
Jerusalem's gates. They all have meaning. Unknown to most of the earth's citizens we have been trekking round Jerusalem's Gates.
We now come to the 10th Gate.
The Gate announced consciously or not by people like Lance Wallnau and Ian Clayton and Justin Abraham.
The 10th Gate is the Gate of Miphkad.
Miphkad means judgment.
FORMERLY INHABITED BY ELDERS OF ISRAEL.
THEY HAD A BRIEF THREE THOUSAND YEAR ABBERATION.
THEY CHOSE KINGS INSTEAD.
MEANWHILE THE TRIBE OF DAN INVENTED GREECE, THEN DEMOCRACY. GOD CALLS THEM THE SNAKE IN THE WAY.
Somewhere in the middle of this time period....well make that , beginning 1215, then much more so 1600s onward....
KINGS started to lose their power to banking systems....
But have no mistake about it.....
The elders of Israel socalled (as in the protocols) and also the Jesuits.....which actually contain some of the same personnages.....
HAVE BEEN RULING OUR EARTH EVER SINCE.
In churches we have a mixture. We have a Pyramid Vicar or Pyramid priest or pyramid pastor, but we also have boards of elders, and denominational infrastructure.
Kind of 2 HOUSES battling out policy
Keeping a check on the other....
Remember this key principle....
Until the sons are mature God never gives over the world to anarchy.....He preserves a scaffolding until the Building has come
He instals a Master to lead us to Christ....
He instals NOT anarchy but a rule of outer LAW until the inner law has arrived.
Well that time has now come.
YOU SEE CONTINGENT UPON CHANGING THE WORLD SYSTEM is not Lance Wallnau's ideas of doing 7 mountain copies of what the Freemasons have already accomplished.....
CONTINGENT UPON ANY ADVANCE from this point....
Is US CHANGING SOMETHING from the days of Moses.
We have to repent of our Zeus mentality....
Our comic book hero ideas
Our gods
Our " Hey you go up the mountain for us"
"You face the blackness and the thunderstorms surrounding God's Presence"
WE HAVE TO RISE IN THE SPIRIT.
WE HAVE TO BE BORN AGAIN AND BAPTISED IN THE SPIRIT AND BE USING OUR GIFTS.
WE HAVE TO RISE INTO HEAVENS COURTS AND ACCEPT OUR RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING ACTUAL KINGS AND PRIESTS.....A WHOLE RACE OF THEM.
Greater things shall you do because I go to the Father
Whatsoever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven
Whatsoever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven
Whatever you ask IN MY NAME.......shall be done for you.
Essentially asking a pastor to rule over you, and that is not anywhere in the Bible....apart from obeying instructions to GET TO KNOW THE LORD HIMSELF.....thats all a pastor is....
But enthroning a pastor over a local body of Christ is nowhere to be found in the Bible....
And that whole spirit that drives that is the same spirit of 3- 4000 years ago of refusing to go up into the mountain ourselves and pushing Moses up there......" to be our spokesman"...
that is the spirit which maintains the current "order " in churches, and which drives the Old Testament Tithe paying mentality.
Giving is a lot more fluid and unspecified in the New Covenant.
Well it IS SPECIFIED....right here and everything comes out of it
Romans 12. 1
Therefore ....(ie because of all the teachings from Romans 1 through 11)
I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, [a]acceptable to God, which is your [b]spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this [c]world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may [d]prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [e]acceptable and perfect.
You are NOLONGER to be LEFTBRAIN LOCKED
it is up to you through the work of the Holy Spirit within you
to be working on Proverbs 3.5.7
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your insight, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your paths.
The reason our paths have not substantially changed...
ie we have the same basic coarse management of our daily affairs, allbeit through ostensible bipartisan politics....
Trump v Clinton etc etc
is because we have not set our minds on the Spirit as Paul commanded
we are still leftbrain locked and trusting our own insight implicitly
and not obeying anything to do with Romans 12 .1 and 2
so essentially our churches are run the same as ever
and our natural daily lives are run the same as ever.
It's a change of consciousness we need. Galatians 2.20 consciousness.

Brokenness II

If you are used to the traditional stuff on brokenness you will find this continuation of the study quite shocking. 

But what is it you are looking for?  To be a grand master on the writings of Church Fathers who only got so far, or do you want the truth of God inside your very being?

Do you want to conform to all the seminaries, and consequently now all the Jesuit and esoteric and Kaballist groups that have stolen every Word of God previously written from out of the sanctuary, and then cobbled together great Luciferian treatise (s) on the difference between :

The Knowledge of Good and Evil

and

The Tree of Life?

Or do you want that simple walk in Jesus Christ spontaneously living your life in an authentic and unique way that is God "causing you to walk in the steps that He prepared beforehand"?
IN  OTHER WORDS THE REAL THING?


Perhaps you should pause right there, because of John 7
17 If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.


Put that the other way round.   If you are reading this for any personal agenda.  Material to preach from, to write books from, to earn tithes from.  Some attemot at peering over the hedge of God's Kingdom, just as the Jesuits operate, then you shall not "get this" teaching.

Jesus says I am the Door.  The thief enters round the back?

Where is round the back?  It is in the leftbrain.  The leftbrain tries to reason up to the life of God.
The doorway to God in you is in your spirit.  The leftbrain is a thief. it does not want personal involvement with Christ, because it knows instinctively that it's entire "Control Bibble" will be ripped open and shown to be the total scam that it is.

There is no selfpowered soul, or selfpowered mind.

We live from Life itself, which is either now a derived life source, via our Adamic inheritance, of "fake independence" which is really the Satan spirit operating and masquerading as us....

OR we come fully into the LIGHT
the SINGLE AGAPE EYE of God and see He is the sole source of everything....

actually, theologically speaking of Satan's life too.   Satan twists God's own empowering life round from being self for others, to a form that is self for self....but actually the power, the drive still comes from the sole Source of the Universe.   (Take this more slowly here by reading Yes I Am by Norman Grubb)

The OLD COVENANT

I take issue with those of Facebook and in modern studies who claim the Old Covenant is not accurate.
Shellfish can still easily kill you.
And bacteria can still hide in the folds of the skin of the penis to bring about longterm damage in a male or their spouse, unless cleanliness is taken seriously. Circumcision was not only a sign, it was also a prevention.

If you know how the Holy Spirit moves in meetings of Christian believers you can see all the same hallmarks on all the scriptures we use.  The same dealings with men and women. The same patterns in how the Holy Spirit introduces people to the ways and the character of God.

Yet many times on this blog I have pointed out how God has scratched His head to know how to present Spirit truth before a people was truly able to be caught up in the Spirit, as was made available after Jesus death , resurrection and pouring out the Holy Spirit as He had promised.

You have the Two Goats conundrum....now in the Spirit, there was only need for One Jesus....but this was the old Covenant

In Ezekiel 47 you have Ezekiel presenting the idea of the River of God's Spirit coming from the Throne of God in such a way as a "person brought up in separation" since Genesis 3 can understand it.

In actual Spirit fact the prophecy is nonsense, as is a lot of charismatic prophecy today.
THERE IS SIMPLY NOTHING ELSE THAN GOD'S RIVER. HE IS THE SOLE SOURCE OF LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!

THERE REALLY ISN'T....NOT IN SPIRIT TERMS.....SUCH A THING AS THE INDEPENDENT SELF IN GENESIS 3.   THIS WAS A LIE FROM START UNTIL TODAY'S DATE....

this is why the gospel calls all men everywhere to repentance....

Not because God thinks it might be nice to have some friends and He is lonely....

It's because there is no such thing as secular life
there is no such thing as living independently as gods.....it just doesn't exist
and if anybody tries it....proverbs chapter 1 tells you what happens

Basically your life crashes !!!!!!

So YES.....there is an Old Covenant version of brokenness
which featured a real encounter between God/the Angel   and Jacob wrestling until Dawn....

Or King David's experiences  AFTER being anointed with oil as King in his youth....and yes I do connect with this man !!!!!!

Brokenness, like today to a certain extent, is God using real life experiences to form a godly character....
OR.....perhaps, like a wood sculptor to strip off the superfluous to leave the authentic creation as God always intended.

Watchman Nee was writing in transitional days, and he used the phrase an enlarged soul.
He said this to describe the way our soul life is now not only God going on....it is enlarged.

If we are going to use that picture we must imagine a "useless expansion" of quirky growth in the way that cancer cells utterly distort our bodies with tumerous outgrowths that end by killing us.

In this way, you would think of us taking up our Cross to see these "falsely enlarged bits of tumerous Adamic outgrowth die."


EXCEPT FOR THIS.

Brokenness in the New Covenant is something different.

Since before the Creation the Word always existed....long before Satan even rebelled, or was even created.  The Word who became manifest in human form as Jesus Christ was always going to be the Cornerstone of the Temple, the Living Temple of  God indwelt ones.
As we saw with Adam, it was always going to be a CHOICE to put on the Tree of Life,
to want to connect with God...

God has always wanted a Bride, a Counterpart like Himself, that chooses to give and receive love, to enter into Union with Himself.

Sin mightily "upped the ante" so that at one level we live in a precarious time space world where we don't know for sure that  when "Christ returns He shall find faith in the Earth". The jeapardy is probably there precisely to avoid Calvinists and Preterists folding their arms, buying pina coladas and sitting on deckchairs waiting for God's bus to arrive.

We walk in godly fear. The Son of Man was heard for His godly fear, His cries of supplication, which always seems weird in first and secondlevel Christian situations....because thinking in terms of separation.....Jesus down here who is nevertheless Christ, and God up there....

It seems weird that God the Man in praying to God the Father....

But that is actually one of the ways we have to change our thinking about brokenness.
Ps 40
I waited [a]patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the [b]miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear
And will trust in the Lord.
Now we DO know Jesus as Saviour and Redeemer
But in Union like Jesus we now enter into something mindbendingly awesome, as is now being revealed in our natural sciences.....

THE QUANTUM WORLD

Brokenness is now a STATE.   It is true we come in through the Blood of Jesus our Saviour, but He sweeps us up onto a Rock that is higher than I.

He sweeps us up to a totally new ontological reality. That of being a co LIVING STONE in His Temple, in His purposes.

Jesus crying out loud cries was this new reality we too have been put in.
Intercession.
Bringing things forth by the power of the Spirit.
How does it work????

Romans 8 shows us how it works.
26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the [j]saints according to the will of God.

During the time of the Cross "it appeared" that God had abandoned Jesus at the Cross.
Jesus cried out "My God why have you forsaken Me?"
Psalm 22 prophecies this experience.

In reality, that is in this true realm of Spirit.....GOD was instead INSIDE the forsakenness....RECONCILING THE WORLD TO HIMSELF.

THIS is intercession.

Jesus describes it  to King David this way in Psalm 40
Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;
My ears You have [e]opened;
Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is [f]written of me.
8 I delight to do Your will, O my God;
Your Law is within my heart.”
The author to the Hebrews seems to quote from an earlier text than the Masoretic text and quotes all this

“Sacrifice and offering You have not desired,
But a body You have prepared for Me;
6 In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have taken no pleasure.
7 “Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come
(In the scroll of the book it is written of Me)
To do Your will, O God.’”

8 After saying above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the Law), 9 then He [d]said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

St Paul writes in the same fashion in Romans 12. 1-2

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, [a]acceptable to God, which is your [b]spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this [c]world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may [d]prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [e]acceptable and perfect.

Why therefore???
on account of all the other tremendous teachings f Romans 1 to 11 being so already....these are the "mercies" the "grace tools" that make everything in Romans 12: 1-2 work.

Back to Romans 8

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, [i]in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. 24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

So yes Jesus was making loud groaning noises, as a Son....
To enter into Union with God is to enter immediately into the operations He is performing right now...
revealed by the Spirit.....sometimes initially just groans too deep for words, very similar to a woman in labour.

Hod has desired BODIES to bring forth His Word
His purposes and plans.

This is the subtle difference between the "orphan idea" of worship
the orphan idea of brokenness

and the LIVING THING that Jesus was engaged in when He lived His life here, and that He now catches up His whole Body in by the Spirit to complete His work of raising a mature man.

Like the key phrase in Ephesians 4 which says....when each part is working properly....
the "brokenness" of Romans 12 and a yielded life has more to do with our knowledge of the mercies of God...if we don't know what God has done we can mope and groan and grouse and grovel as much as we like....this isn't brokenness...this is religion...this is orphanhood.


The REAL THING is where people have been enlightened according to these sorts of phrases in Ephesians 1

15 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and [u]your love for all the [v]saints, 16 do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the [w]knowledge of Him. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart [x]may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the [y]saints, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

We can only RISK giving our bodies to God to manifest through when we have experienced some sessions of Him coming through us...
maybe in times of need
maybe in the baptism in the Spirit
maybe in our church life together...

then also based on what we know inwardly and what has been revealed to our inner eyes...

then we are going to feel like taking more of a risk...because we see inwardly it isn't a risk......

But it is these sort of "Freefallers" that God is looking for Romans 12.1-2 who will PROVE what the will of God is....Namely to bring forth His Kingdom His Word made manifest through physical forms...you and me...the church...

so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.

Back to the flower:
The flower is perhaps a better representation of our brokenness...

it is totally intact now
it may or may not be weak, but there is nothing in it that shouldn't be there
just as it is it is manifesting the glory of God
it is not being religious and pinning a christian badge to it
it is not trying to "do anything " Christian
It is living exactly as it was meant and purposed

But we are in another reality...we are in the Temple of the Lord.
We are the Body of the Living Christ on earth.
Now as Paul says in Corinthians
I can't address you as mature...one says he is of Peter, one of Apollos and one of Paul

Also (Chapter 12) what you are doing is just sticking together in cliques
if someone is an eye they are saying to the leg, because you are not an eye I have no need of you.

This is the state of the immature church. In reality all churches, because there are no churches on earth yet that have Father level people as groups of elders flowing together in this "brokenness"...or "Christ cornerstone Life " that I have described. There are ones and twos who move individually as did Ed Miller, Corrie Ten Boom, Pastor Wurmbrand...but not inside local churches in geographical areas and recognised as such by local communities.

We only have zero, first and secondlevellers who are caught up in their "LEG" groups or "Arm groups " or "Eye groups".

FINALLYto summarise and bash the nail further in.

Because Genesis 3 was always a lie.
Because there really only ever was one source of life in the Universe.
Because UNITY is a fact, as real in our bodies own homeostasis, as it is actually in the Body Of Christ
Because there is only one faith one Lord one baptism...
Because we see with a single eye God going on in His Universe to bring about the completion of all His plans through His Son...

I will flow with every other person walking in this "brokenness"
or Just Christ as me ness....no more no less....no additions no subtractions to whatever Jesus Christ is doing in us and through us now.

Now we had an introduction to this in Spirit led meetings.
As we have received Jesus we were to walk in Him....and the first ways we did this was practicing "gathering in His Name" in meetings...
and we have to guard this Unity of the Spirit UNTIL we come into the unity of the faith.

But you can't come into total unity while each individual has squinty eyes
or not a single eye (in internal terms)
David said
OK Lord...I'll tell you what....UNITE MY HEART TO FEAR THE LORD. PSALM 86.11

We have whole churches of squinty eyed people whose inner eyes are focussed all over the place....there is no way we can even get one united church having the shambolic level of Light we have been operating in so far.

In Revelation 12 it says about the true church....a woman with a face shining like the sun, with the moon under her feet.

At the moment thirdlevel living is unknown
every single church member across the face of the whole earth still thinks "separation existence is a valid way to live and operate"....and that living this MOON or "reflected" way of life, where we never actually fuse with God the Father properly....and take on His SUN Life...His Original direct Source Life flow....

continuing in this fashion makes "Jesus is coming soon " a laughing stock.
The devil hears our words but sees our MOON Masques like some Anonymous Venetian Ball....

What He is scared of is being chased off the Earth by a woman with the Face as the Sun.

Misusing Malachi

The use of Malachi as a proof text for.continuing to live in the Old Covenant is as insane as reading of Moses flight out of Egypt and insisting everybody lives in the desert for.many years......even though of course, God.May arrange equivalence.....but THATS JUST IT.....HE ARRANGES IT.
Quoting Malachi as a behavioural text is like quoting Noah and commanding boatbuilding. Or more.relevant still reading Kings and building a Temple. Which of course the Masonic sects of Catholicism and Anglicanism do.of course.
It's like reading about Abraham and telling everybody to be circumcised.
Let's see what the New Testament says
It says repent. Be completely dunked in water and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
It says gather together regularly where each one exercises gifting by the Holy Spirit.
Leaders facilitate the running of meetings in the Spirit and give sound teachings on all aspects.of Jesus who is in you, living His life out through you.
It says you hold everyone in high honour and agape, caring for.each other's needs and especially to the household of.faith......those with no earthly means.of.support. Nowhere does it specify a tithe or a twentieth or 100%.
What e New Covenant DOES.DO is begin downloading the radically new principle.of.living. And this is determined only by the measure of.somebody's inner seeing. By whatever measure a person sees by that measure he will give.
We have different gifts and abilities. What for.somebody is a huge hurdle.for.somebody else is a breeze in the park. And vice versa. There simply is no law as the Bible states over and over save to love each other, and ADD to our faith.
There not one passage that speaks about buildings
and with persecution this was not possible. The point is the New principle of.faith is give and it will be given unto you......pressed down running over. Money is a part of the picture. Romans 12.1 is the whole context. None of this is possible outside the realm of the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant. For.anything to really really work as it is meant the Spirit has to bed us in the New reality of Galatians 2.20 and Romans 8 living......and that as a community.......something we have not yet seen anywhere on earth.
But adding anything to the gospel in terms of works is not the gospel of Jesus . And the tithing instruction is a fafalsehood that we address in the strongest manner in the Spirit.

Do not be conformed to this world

Denominational,evangelical and charismatic Christians all do an inner translation of this phrase: Do not be conformed to this world.
After their mental processing it drops out the other end like sausages from a mincer like this: Do not be conformed to the Tree of the knowledge of Evil, but accept the Tree of the Knowledge of Good.
Which ofcourse this verse doesn't mean at all.
They do something similar with " Henceforth we view no man after the flesh"...this is twisted to mean....henceforth, even while viewing a person in the middle of doing something off the Tree of the Knowledge of Evil, we will now imagine him or her perfectly capable of doing something off the Good end of the Tree.
The socalled spiritual examples in the world today, the Pope, the Dalai Lama and the Queen, are all people who call the world back to the Tree of Good and away from the Evil end of the Tree. But they never tell people to change Trees. That in the end is what gives them away.

Through Eyes of Fire by Daniel Yordy : The NOW context by Rich Novek

The NOW Revelation!

ALL of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too GOD WILL MAKE CLEAR TO YOU. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Philippians 3:15-16

It's NOW been about 10 years since God showed me Philippians 3:15-16, a very little known (and even less taught) little mystery tucked away IN Philippians chapter 3.

I call it the doorway to "True Grace" IN that it's here where God let's us know no matter what maturity level we find ourselves, we can KNOW with a certainty that God is bringing to us the clarity we need IN whatever situation or circumstance we might find ourselves. This is the same clarity that allows us to SEE ALL THINGS AS HE DOES right here and NOW!

This passage is what God used when He began to reveal the reality of the "NOW" revelation for me personally.

This is the culmination of so much Spirit centered truth, 

including Isaiah 43:18-19, 

“Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

Romans 8:1-2,

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 

Romans 12:1-2,

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Philippians 2:13,

for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

Hebrews 4:7-11

7 God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
    do not harden your hearts.”[d]

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works,[e] just as God did from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.

...and so much more,

truth which assures us wherever we are (whatever point that may be) is exactly where we are supposed to be right here and NOW.

And what's more, this powerful revelation comes to us without any condemnation of the past or fear of the future!

And so what is our part?

To NOW simply rest right here until He shows us the next thing, whatever that might be!
