The gospel evangelist demonstrates, in the same manner as St Peter in Acts 2, current up to date facts of how humankind is falling short of the glory of God in order to lead us out of the spirit of the world system and into bowing our knee to the Spirit of truth and to the reign of Christ.
For hundreds of years the clear gospel of John 3 and the need to be born again was not preached.
Like Jews , humans go through the outer observances but it can never be real Kingdom because the keys that were given to Peter are simply not there in the Spirit.
God is Spirit and He must be worshipped in Spirit and truth . That doesn't just mean reverential in attitude.....that's just a human attitudinal / emotional change. That is something that happens as we enter a library or a museum .
No , it's about connecting live with the Holy Spirit .
The gospel is about a new and living way . So the second and third keys that Peter was given correspond exactly with the Old Testament precursor which is based on heavenly reality, that can only come into its fulness accepting the Person of Jesus into our heart where we do the heavenly type of believing . The first key is looking to the finished work of Jesus The true Lamb of God at the brazen altar of judgment upon our fallen spirit man .
The second key is the equivalent of taking the Genesis 3 fruit in reverse . We contract out , we initiate ourselves out very personally in a watery death called baptism.
Here's the weird thing . Get this . We're contracting out of death having any hold on us because the man that attracted death....our Satan connected life .....died in Jesus.
And the third key of the Kingdom is the infilling and baptism of power of the Holy Spirit.
Brazen altar .....coming to the Cross
The Laver .....now a baptismal amount of water. Baptism means complete dunking like teabags.
Priests anointing oil ....now baptism in the Spirit
These are all one offs .
Jerusalem Gates in Nehemiah have meanings.
The first gate is the Sheep or Lamb gate
The sixth gate is the Fountain Gate
What Jesus did , as He emerged from Jordan , the first of a brand new priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek , and the Great High Priest thereof .....
Was to lead Jews ....all of them ....not just Levites ....into a new reality. And it clearly was because He , of tribe of Judah , couldn't under the Law be a priest. The New Covenant is outside the old system because it's a better system.
What I wanted to say earlier but it was getting a bit detailed is ......
All religion including copy cat Christianity is based still upon the orphan condition of Genesis 3.
The disconnected paradigm that Satan dwells in .
We are come to the Only Living Stone in history.
Buddha died . Muhammed died .
You couldn't kill Jesus because He is Life.
We could just about leave some marks on His physical hands and feet , but most of that is for personal tattoo reasons so we and He can always remember what He alone was privileged to do for us .
So what I wanted to say earlier is that Christianity is not a religion. It's a contracting out of death itself and into the only true Life Source there is , God .
Everything else, copy cat Christianity included, is is doing a Mass, doing a druid or Hindu Ritual to appease the gods.
Jesus in His role as Lamb and sending the Power of the Holy Spirit is squashing the Outer Courts of Jews into the Inner spaces of Holy and Holiest Place
He's squashing all the Gates of Jerusalem to put Gate one ....the Lamb and Sheep/ accepting Jesus and becoming a sheep or disciple....Gate
And squishing that Gate with Gate 6 the Fountain Gate in one Day One New Covenant encounter .
Read Acts 2 and tell me I'm wrong.
That's what Jesus Move was , and I think the Pentecostal wave in Azusa Street and Wales and other epicentres was in the 1900s.
Do we not do the other Jerusalem Gates 2 to 5?
Do we not do the New Covenant equivalents of the steps in the Holy Place and Holiest Place ?
Here's the crazy madness and risk of the Godhead . It's like Jesus with the disciples.
He gives us the download first because that's also the Holy Spirit accelerator. We can now understand lots of the Bible instantly because it was the Holy Spirit that wrote it , so if we use the three Kingdom keys properly , the original writer is teaching us . Jesus said this would happen.
For the first time since the Genesis 3 fall , the veil was ripped in Jesus own flesh at the very same moment supernaturally. The earth literally went dark during that time period .
God was in Christ reconciling us to Himself .
The Jesus Move accepted the three Keys of the Kingdom . We formed churches all inside this believing and receiving.
The Presence of God has been amazing in the gatherings. We have told the other people about these three keys .
But by the 80s we started noticing we were missing something.
In the psalms of ascent , after crunchy realisation one, that the whole of the world pyramid order is really only about one thing , as nice as they smile, WAR . That's the turning point. Psalm 120. We want something better.
Crunchy Psalm 121 gets us into Give Us this day our daily Bread realm .
But like Jesus Move ....relatively early we are getting to Psalm 122 and the massive wonder of praising the Lord together and seeing early forms of gathering. In Emsworth Church we are seeing people drive miles the meetings were so full of the Presence of the Lord . Ten to 15 years earlier Graham Pulkingham in Houston and South Chard were experiencing the same .
So why all the other psalms until you get to the unity Psalm of 133, and international intercession in psalm 134.
Aah .....our new spirit man was given to us complete as Ephesians and the other letters tell us. Peter tells us the Morning Star rises in our hearts .
Everything is by faith.....although receiving Jesus, the baptism in the Spirit and the Presence of God in meetings, is so tangible, kind of like it must have been to have a Pillar of Cloud and Pillar of Fire....it's nolonger just faith ....it's kinda HERE NOW .
So why is God not allowing Bethel Church or Emsworth Church or South Chard to go viral like Acts ?
Well , it turns out , like the Holiest Place and Watchman Nee's book on Ephesians , Sit Walk Stand and Norman Grubb's books Yes I Am and the booklet Romans 6 to 8......there's a third level or stage of growth or THIRD FEAST .
It's almost like there's three repentances, going deeper....
One at the Front Door of the House by the Cross /Brazen altar
One at the Anointing Oil station or baptism in the Spirit where now as functioning priests we enter the Holy Place acceleration room
One at the Altar of Incense as we enter tearing away from Genesis 3 ...not just in our spirit man but now in our soul.
That's been the missing key in the charismatic move . It never really addressed WHO WE ARE , And the total deception of the Genesis 3 delusion.
We didn't really have articulation until Madam Guyon and Jacob Boehme .
They are called mystics but you know what mystic is ? It's realms of our being that are outside our tiny left frontal cortex. Which IS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Things you can't teach , you have to Live and in Christ , live by faith .
In one sense , left brain articulation doesn't help much.....
You have to make love to know about making love
You have to cook before you know about so many aspects of preparing so many foods, and what works.....
You have to drive before you know about driving.
You have to speak to crowds before you know about speaking to crowds
You have to learn the new powers in the Holy Spirit by doing them.
You have to learn ecclesia by doing 1 Corinthians 11 to 14 and Ephesians 4 and James and mercy ministries and evangelism.....by doing it.....orcehae you are reduced from the Jesus Move back into loads of useless solo pyramid rabbi synagogues with worship bands , instead of cross spectrum elders who are now revealed before God in Zion , manifestly One and walking across cities without jostling like a Spirit version of Joel 2, taking cities for God like the 12 in Jerusalem .
Spiritual or mystic is simply the export of Christ from our newborn spirit man into our soul .
And it confronts our previous Genesis 3 belief system that we are self powered souls.
Fourth quartiles are born knowing more of this eagle face , Willow tree reality of spirit.
But without Christ they are unclean and powered by any which/ witch principality and power , as much as by God conscience.
The Jesus Move know church works to some extent .
But we never got to the 1 John 2 thirdlevel of knowing or fusion with Him who is from the beginning.......putting off the Genesis 3 self run stuff and daring as Norman Grubb says to enter the Freefall of faith. One of the directors of WEC said to me the other day that Norman was a very difficult man .
Jesus was a very difficult Man who ended up alone on a Cross .
He would say to a rich man ....quit telling me how righteous you are, sell all you have, give to the poor and follow me to learn the spontaneous life of God operating in us as us , outside of human matrix operations.....learning to see what God is doing.
The entire Christian world knows about meetings or the Book of Ezra stuff, how many know the continual Water Gate stuff ....the all of Life City Gates and walls stuff of Book of Nehemiah.
With some knowhow pretty well anybody can run a solo pyramid synagogue or as I was , 20 years in different ways leading in worship.....
But who knows how to take those sensibilities together into all of Life.
Until we have zöe in all abundance how do you plan sharing it ?
That's why the prophesied ingathering hasn't happened? Americans are believing for mighty Presence meetings.
Well Acts Church was City on a Hill . And when thousands weren't coming in , numbers were being added daily. Because the ecclesia actually worked . Jews had seen rabbi synagogues. Jesus congregation was different.
