Tuning, the 10th Gate,and Ephesians 4

In the Spirit there is an exact and precise heavenly sound that is LIVING.
Piano tuning IS a parable of this, but also ISN't in that a tuning remains static and lifeless.
Nevertheless in this 12 tonal field of dreams structure a baseball player....NO a pianist or composer in this case can come and wade and express the infinite through inspired music.
I as a tuner require "the submission of strings" to my yanking up and down with a lever (like a wrench)
Did you know that 4ths and 5ths....say the distance between note C and F or note C and G, if you play them simultaneously they like to be a bit flat and a bit sharp, in order to be totally beatless. Without any wavering between the notes.
BUT......
if you then play in any other key, they sound horribly out.
So what is the solution?
The well tempered scale. An "artificially created scale" which is mathematically compromised.
So tuners slightly sharpen all 4th notes in relationship and slightly flatten all fifth notes in relationship.
So step one we FIX ONE NOTE to a set frequency. Say A=440.
Step two we tune one central octave to each other round in what is like an octave wheel of 12 semitones. (For the nerdy that is A-E-B-F#-C#-G#-D#-A#-F-C-G-D and back to A.) If you are right, then your A should match where you started. And that is the Sudoku of creating the first octave. It's like a game!!!
Everything cross references, so this, like Law in the Bible....is the curse and the blessing. When it's not right it's a darned curse. When it's right, all the notes are in relationship.,...nothing is too forced and weird sounding.
Ephesians 4 is about the Body of Christ tuning herself.
Only in the Spirit, the bits that are not working correctly don't just need tweaking "morally" as we used to think in churches. NOPE they need more of Christ in that particular area, and a Christed one, a person who is "working properly", certainly in that area of "internal seeing" can SPEAK LIFE and RESURRECTION to another member......always looking out to see that at any moment they themselves can go "off piste".
When strings are in tune there are two confirmations.
1. The confirmation of very little beating between fourths and fifths
2. Unisons are bang in and have a punch to them particularly in the top treble that hits you in the solar plexus and your ears. Each piano note from the top bass upwards has three strings per note and they have to be so perfect that not even a beat per second waver exists in any of the three, and we call that unison.
In 1 John in particular we see this "measurement" of Christ content,
test 1, do we see a Jesus Life that is God come in the flesh from above, and now so among us by the Spirit....
and the second test  interrelationally by the Spirit.
If people nolonger fellowship together then somebody....or BOTH have moved away from the LIVING FLAME that is Christ.
In His Light He gives Light . Psalm 36.
We are separated from one another as we NOLONGER continue in His Light.
That which He speaks to us in secret, will be broadcast from the rooftops.
Slowly imperceptibly, "one is taken, the other left"
People are "taken" by what they choose internally.
The soil parable about pure soil...
the Beattitudes phrase about Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God
the "single eye " phrase (filling your body with Light)
and the scrawlings on the wall in Ezekiel 8:10 are all related concepts.
Where it gets extremely interesting is like Michael Harper.
Michael wandered away from Fountain Trust by the 1980s. If you recall he was used in the UK and across the world, through the vessel of the Fountain Trust to bring the baptism in the Spirit experience into mainline denominations, instead of being stuck in Pentecostal ghetto.
But Michael turned towards the mysticism and meditation of the Orthodox Churches and persuaded a friend and client of mine to do the same.
Why is this interesting? Well the charismatic movement DID LACK thirdlevel teaching. And was Michael just following the path that hundreds of us in the Rios De Vida churches (Buenos Aires/Barcelona/Emsworth) took in deliberately seeking God and meditating upon Him quite singlemindedly? Or was Michael just reformatting back to a different type of formalism? Only God knows the hearts.
True doctrine in the Spirit is connected with slaying the flesh, slaying all traces of inner seeing which sees more than the One God going on.
Leftbrain shell doctrines of what began as Spirit....say Armenianism or its opposite Calvinism are DEAD doctrines. One kills the other.
UNION doctrine, if in the Spirit, is the LIVING CONNECTION with what Christ is doing now in this instant through any of us.
It takes an Armenian and says...yes what you believe is right IF YOU ARE OPERATING NOW out of Galatians 2.20 consciousess.
And the same with Calvinism.....the belief in the Sovereign will of God.
The Sovereign Will of God is almost like Schroedinger's cat which is both alive and dead until you observe it.
if you get too selfconscious about the Sovereign will of God you KILL everything in sight. You lose spontaneity, because in reality you are not facing the real problem....
YOU ARE LOCKED IN YOUR OWN LEFTBRAIN BY FEAR.
_________
This tuning related study has a "Gate" attached.
Jerusalem has 12 Gates in Nehemiah and each one has a Spirit meaning. The Miphkad Gate- the tenth Jerusalem gate according to Ephesians 4 now has a different meaning.
It means judgment, but corporately according to Presence.
The elders sat in the Gate and deliberated on the plans for the city. But they also judged in individual cases. But also they "judged" the animals to be offered. Were they good enough. It was an inspection point.
What I am saying is the Melchizedek Order has a sound, and NOW the judge or judges are not just elders....but in fact the corporate assembly gathered in the Name of Jesus, who Jesus bestows the honour of coming Himself among them.
We see this enacted incredibly by the Corinthians when Paul instructed them how to bring judgment upon the man who was committing sexual sin.
THE FIRST THING GOD INSTRUCTED THE PEOPLE TO DO upon their return from Babylon was to reassemble the "Spirit " infrastructure of Jerusalem. This has been exactly the same in the last 100 years since the outpouring of the Spirit. Only this time, unlike Luther and subsequent churches, God is not building leftbrain locked churches.
Not by might , nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord
You can load all your theological tomes together, you can write all your ebooks.....
But I as a tuner of strings
and God as the builder of His Church asks through both Paul and John in particular, CAN YOU LIVE TOGETHER?
IF NOT YOUR DOCTRINES AREN'T CONNECTIVE TISSUE but blockading walls.
And this isn't the same as the world system, which simply changes the rules of behaviour so there is no need for the Cross....and together we raise a common infrastructure called the Tower of Babel, which like all obelisks has a striking resemblance to a giant male member....
NO, like the Israelites , but now spiritually we partake of the New Covenant circumcision, this time Jeremiah 31, of the heart.
One final comment about earthly tuning. In order to squeeze out something that kind of works, us tuners have to DETUNE every note just slightly. But WE LIVE in a fallen universe where the frequencies have slipped.
In Christ it may feel like crucifixion, but we are really being tuned back into the heavenly and perfect. We are tuning BACK to the sole source of Life, in whom there is no shadow or turning.

Unless you become like a child


Unless you become as a little child you will not enter the Kingdom.
I began talking about this in a different context with my son who is 15. I can hardly say to him forget everything you are learning in school but I wanted to prepare him a bit for the Box 1 to Box 2 leap. Here was another example today on the BBC. They announced that hugely less kids now do Saturday jobs. Exam pressures and learning pressures are now cited. Other truths may be involved...errr...like Xbox and PC Gaming....but employers, they said want to know what you have done, What is your experience. They don't look so much at what you have learned. Truth is, you can learn leftbrain stuff quite quickly. My son is very articulate. I was too. But in order to advance you have to completely relearn everything again. If the Kingdom of God had fully come we would be like Jesus and learn everything from the word go in tandem so that by aged 30 we would be as spiritually honed and thirdlevel (see Father level in 1 John 2) as we were at making skilled bits of carpentry as Jesus presumably was. (My yoke is easy was said with punning eyes by the way).
But until that time the general rule is to learn in the natural first then gradually see in the Spirit by referral. First the natural then the spiritual.
Traditionally English computer brains would regard Irish people, who process things from the word go much more spiritually and holistically, as slower people, and they were the butt of our Irish jokes before PCdom kicked in. But let me ask you this?
Who dreamed up Guinness on an international scale? What country produced great playwrights? Actually there is no small Jewish aspect to all this either.

But no....Brits generally are as thick as two shortplanks spiritually. In Russia you can discuss Checkov I am told on the tube. Brits avoid all eye contact and try to make it to their next appointment on the Rothschild hamster wheel.
A properly firing brain on a Catscan fires both sides of the brain fairly equally with something like a call exchange directing everything in a relevant way in the middle.
If we weren't brought up by masons in the West, we would be like middle easterners, or American Indians, or Buddhists, and making as many spiritual connections while we learned all the otherstuff.
SOOOOOOO
Hence the Baptism in the Spirit. Having come to know Jesus, the original plan before the rogue forces messed up Catholics and Anglicans, was
Repent...metanoia...change your whole manner in which you think....remember Golgotha was place of the Skull...place of the thoughts!!!...
and be submerged in water so you know your own death firsthand, and be filled with the Spirit. Then like a little child to begin piecing the whole world together again but this time in Union with Christ who has come in to live your life.
1994 the Holy Spirit sovereignly broke into another generation of leftbrain locked westerners in the Toronto Blessing. The main difference with 1972 when a lot of us were baptised in the Spirit, was there was a much higher Father or Dad content!!!!
How you do your
GOING INTO YOUR INNER ROOM to learn to meet with the Father in secret, is completely up to you. Soaking. meditating on the Word...or fixing your eyes on Jesus...without any leftbrain content....
For me it was an initial thrust of rising early in the morning and mostly dozing...but waiting on God...and it wasn't easy and it wasn't nice...but it was balanced by community and church Presence at other times....
oh and then about 30 years of piano tuning, which somehow like catholic beads, flips you into listening mode while sorting 220 out of tune strings.
Somehow , somewhere, you have to relearn everything as a child does....and all while being very outer at the same time....and being scolded by everyone because you sometimes act weird. Just wait until they start their turn. hah....we'll get our own back. We'll show them weird!!!!!!

The meaning of the 10th Jerusalem Gate Miphkad

On the blog a number of us have covered what ISN'T now happening in churches.
There are several sides to church life which are all encapsulated in the meaning of the Gates of Jerusalem. This is not a leftbrain issue...this is a SELAH issue...something the Holy Spirit leads us to meditate on and as He walks us by the hand round the Gates of the City.
By dividing churches up by Gates none of us have genuine churches yet.. we have about one Gate each.
Denominational churches are renowned for their handling of Old Gate material(Gate No. 3 The Old Gate speaks of all the Old solid truths of who God is and who we are in Him). And truthfully if leaders focus on these things for years they DO actually become to some extent people of DEPTH after decades of doing it.
The Water Gate and the Fountain Gate are more or less the Province of the young churches from generation to generation. That is...if at any point other churches exclude Gates from their roster GOD WHO IS SOVEREIGN WILL PRESERVE AT ALL TIMES A COMPLETE RECORD IN THE EARTH...even if fragmented.
In the last few decades this was the province of the charismatic movement, but we are all now long in tooth, and the Cloud shifted in Toronto to the next generation and in the Naughties to ministries such as John Crowder. IHOP say they want God, but I think the leadership don't actually want the thirdlevel which is what the Holy Spirit is currently restoring.
The FISH GATE or the initial catching of more disciples for a new generation is more or less always ousted to evangelists like Heidi Baker, or Elaine Waterfield.  YWAM to this day remains a parachurch movement as do many evangelistic ministries, because most CHURCHES like the idea of the FISH GATE , but they don't want the reality of the Fish Gate...and scrubbing fish!!!!
The evangelicals have largely cornered the Dung Gate and the Valley Gate, but quite frankly without the Fountain and Water Gates taking you through all these at once they have become crematoriums, whereas the charismatic movement simply doesn;t get the "replacement" of the indwelling spirit at the cross for daily purposes.
Rip across to the 10th Gate ....the Gate of Inspection
This is my current Spirit declaration and ideal for a piano tuner.
I am saying that the Lord of heaven is currently restoring the tenth Gate in Jerusalem. It is a concept very familiar to a tuner but to nearly nobody else on earth.
How do you mean Chris...are you making out you are special? Nope. Until this Gate is up and running all the church is running to and fro disjointed, unsure of its identity, and some among the more mature Union people do not even imagine the Holy Spirit powerful enough to raise up local churches at all. They think He is all about individuals and individual salvation. How on earth they can even think that way when they read a Church book like Ephesians....well God knows the answer to that.
You see there is a very pragmatic feature in piano tuning that the church worldwide haven't "got " yet. And the proof that they haven't got it stares us in the face in Rome. The Pope is the 10 th Gate. The Pyramid judge of the whole church in the earth.
But the Pope isn't the 10th Gate for this reason.
ALL 12 NOTES IN A PIANO SCALE DETERMINE WHEN A PIANO IS IN TUNE.
ALL 12 TRIBES DETERMINE THE TUNING OF EACH OTHER IN TERMS OF SPIRITUAL HARMONY
WE SET UP A STRONG AND COMPLETE FORCEFIELD IN THE SPIRIT WHICH ENCOMPASSES THE COMPLETE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST( and not just fragments.)
The 10th Gate MIPHKAD is inspection, numbering and gathering
It is represented by the gathered people in Nehemiah 8 hearing the Torah.
All the Gates and walls were built. The people inspected them and gathered. Errrr...together.
Every generation has a "together" gathering.
A Spirit trumpet call goes out.
ALL tribes meet and gather. Now up until now this has been partial, a bit like the returning exiles from Babylon.
These are Spirit orchestrated events of great power.
From the early Billy Graham crusades
The Festival of Light and festival fro Jesus which came through God's vessel Jean Darnall
The 70s Bible Weeks in the UK
The Kansas City Shepherd's Conference
The Kansas City prophets in the ealry 90s
The Toronto Blessing and other US moves like Brownsville
Lakeland, Florida which is certainly only Part One.
These events have another significance.
GATE 2 and 9 are repeated. Gate 9 is a mature and welcoming version of Gate 2.
In Jewish Feast terms, Gate 9 is the Feast of Ingathering. The opening of the East Gate, and in the tabernacle men come from the East and move towards the setting sun and completion in the west.
So the COMING TOGETHER of the Body of Christ lifts up the name of Christ and has a feature of WELCOME.
"Come and See" "Come and Taste".
Until local churches learn to have all the Gates they will remain this part scale of fragments of notes on a piano.
The Apostolic gift is given to build proper thirdlevel churches containing all 12 Gates of experiencing Christ corporately.
(Thirdlevel is my jargon for the threefold revelation of "the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, or summarised in 1 John 2 by Children, young men, father revelation)
Thirdlevel churches are not churches of father/grandad types only! Thirdlevel churches are places like true families which have the mature amongst them with all people in between growing up to be like them.
Now do you understand the devastating Illuminati pattern of deliberately setting out to layer society so that nobody learns or interacts with the other?
In the prophets the city square is described as a place where old and young walk together and where lovers meet. the devil syphons of the young into hothouse clubs and discos where they become pregnant and then have abortions. The old are sidelined and the midrange are just so shattered trying to support their families and houses and the bottomless costs of benefits, they have little left to interact with.
The 10th gate is what darkness FEAR. In all their work of fragmentation it is more than anything what shows up their deeds of Darkness.....the Gathering of the Saints in Light...sharing ALL the Gates of Jerusalem.
Eph.3 8 To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; 10 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.
the 10th Gate sets up the Spirit infrastructure of all 12 Gates , of ALL 3 levels of spiritual growth, of ALL TRIBES represented by the Gates....in order that the manifold wisdom of God and not just a part piecemeal bit of God be shown forth.
Why the 10th Gate? because if the complete Body is in a locality look what happens
Eph 4 12 for the equipping of the [d]saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the [e]knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature [f]which belongs to the fullness of Christ. 14 [g]As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness [h]in deceitful scheming; 15 but [i]speaking the truth in love, [j]we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together [k]by what every joint supplies, according to the [l]proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
  • Doesn't mention popes
  • nor pyramid pastors/vicars /priests
  • In short the above passage ONLY LOOKS LIKE THE SORT OF BODY THE 1970s JESUS PEOPLE WERE BIRTHED INTO AMONGST THEMSELVES BEFORE THEY GOT SEDUCED BY EXISTING CHURCHES.
we all shared with each other what God had showed us today... a bit like here on facebook.
But even here on Facebook there is no sense of a 10thGate in the Spirit yet. people waltz off and do what they think they have to do...but in reality they only have but one or 2 gates between them.



Recap on The Fish Gate (gate 2) and the Eastern Gate (gate 9)
from a Facebook post
Evangelists all!!!! I am being alerted to the Jerusalem Gates of Nehemiah.
The gates are the sequence in which God builds both our lives, and the church.
i have not yet met anyone who really gets it all...and I am not there either...but as an evangelist you should know that there's a Gate no 2, and a Gate no. 9
And I think it's something to do with the same sequence in Jesus ministry. Remember there were two episodes of mega hauls of fish with Jesus and the disciples.
The first time...the nets tore and broke, and there was some damage in the haul.
The next occasion everyone helped and pulled in the nets together. As it was in the natural so it was in the Spirit.
The first time was at the time of the multitude first hearing Jesus...but in John 6 huge numbers got turned off, and there was only Jesus who was really mature at that point.
In Acts 2 however, just after the second fish haul on the banks of Galilee after the resurrection, the disciples all STOOD WITH PETER as 3000 people got blasted into the Kingdom, but all 12 helped minister to them daily in their homes.
In the Gates of Jerusalem Gate no 2 (the fish gate) immediately follows the Sheep Gate. The Sheep Gate is the entrance to the Kingdom in two ways. 1. The message of the Lamb who died in our stead, but 2. The discipleship message where we learn together what it means to be sheep of His pasture. Very much the Word of the 70s, the Jesus move followed by Yonghi Cho cell grouos, and Juan Carlos Ortiz on discipleship.
BUT GATE 9. is MORE ORGANISED. Gate 9 is the Eastern Gate. It's something to do with believers who have passed through the experiences of the other 1-8 Gates who are now able ministers of the Spirit to a new influx. This should hearten you because as an evangelist looking out at the Kingdom as it now is you can get discouraged thinking that you are forever and a day stuck with Gate 2....that means nets forever ripping, inadequate ministry followup, frictions between workers...basically a discouraging mess.
But no....God is currently preparing the Church with a massive Gate no 9. people coming flooding in from the East....from sinful ways...but Gate no. 9 is built for it!!!!!!
Also notice this, unlike the previous influx these are OUTSIDERS....brand new ones with no knowledge of God nor spiritual things.
