| Pastor Daniel Garcia who has died this week |
On hearing of the death of Norita's
brother Daniel Garcia (Main pastor of Los Rios de Vida, Buenos Aires and in all
the other states of Argentina)and reading one of his last requests that people
continue to spend long together praising and worshipping the Lord, and to not
neglect the gathering together of believers my thoughts are this.
Ed Miller,Jorge Pradas and Daniel pushed open the doors
of praise and worship as a pattern in the local congregation
maybe more than any other series of churches on earth. But I am resolved that
this is NOT sufficient. Often content to stay in the outer realms of the holy
place in order to prepare for listening to preaching, may the next generation
really become the advanced corps prophesied in Psalm 110 and Psalm 24. In Psalm
134 also we are shown what a huge role we have, and again in Psalm 149. We have
to be expert in what up to now we are still playing with. The Melchizedek Order
is where Jesus Christ rules and reigns. He has pulled down any separation at
all, having His flesh torn as the veil which kept us from approaching God's
throne.
He has, in these last days through decades of seeking God revealed through his
servant Norman Grubb, a missionary for around 70 plus years, the exact blueprint
of how Galations 2:20 works on an individual life, but as yet NO CONGREGATION
ANYWHERE ON THIS EARTH has worked out this
third level of operation on a
corporate scale, the level of "KNOWING HIM WHO IS FROM THE BEGINNING"
described in 1 John 2. This is the realm the elders before the throne operate
in. But Jesus specifically told us to pray this prayer. "THY KINGDOM COME,
THY WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN." and again the apostle
writes " AS HE IS , SO ARE WE IN THE EARTH." What this looks like in
corporate form,
projecting as Ern Baxter prophesied " the Community of the
Trinity out from the Throne into a community of people in a space time
world" we have as yet no firm idea. We have proved what it doesn't look
like by creating networks of churches run by men at the top of pyramids, and
have blocked the specific injunction of the New Covenant: They shall all know
Me from the least to the greatest. Instead these networks have all put out
their prophets, have not advanced in their doctrines and revelation, and have
not pursued the worship of God into the third level, first opened recently by
Ed Miller and attended to by national revival in Argentina as a sign following.
Ed Miller has proved the Third level exists.
Jorge Pradas and Daniel have proved there is such a thing as the
vision of the
local church.
Norman Grubb has explained how we may walk continually in this third level of
knowing Christ as consciousness on an individual level.
The Psalms of Ascents (Ps120-134) however, describe a corporate rising into the Presence of
God that is completely without historical precedent, yet it takes place at a time of NIGHT in the Earth.
Isaiah 60 declares that this Darkness will cover the earth, and it describes
this Darkness as GROSS Darkness. Yet at such a time shall a LIGHT ARISE on the
people of God that is equally unprecedented. It is the Light of the Son of God,
this time
manifest incarnationally not only through the Head who is Jesus, but
through His entire Body, of whom it says , He is not ashamed to call them brethren.
The Son of Man shall arise suddenly, like lightning in the Earth, and it is
said by Jesus of this "Son of Man "the angels of God ascend and
descend upon Him."
For the rest of the church this is far fetched, but both Ed Miller's churches
and JorgePradas's churches have already experienced angels among them. The
foretastes of Jesus singing amongst His brethren in the congregation have
already been indescribable, but this was among a people that do not yet know
the third level apart from the briefest glimpses. Praise, worship and the
Presence of God among a people who know
Galations 2:20 as consciousness, will
release a realm of Power and Glory no man can at this point fully realise, but
is described obliquely in Psalm 134 when it says the saints shall BLESS THE
EARTH OUT OF ZION. Earth sized blessings shall be released by such a people.
Fragmentation.
The throwing out of people such as myself and many many others.
The reluctance to press through to any kind of maturity as promised in
scripture.
The Lacklustre worship of the one for whom are all jewels, riches,skills,
knowledge,praise, love, adoration even our Bridegroom who honours us above all
other possessions...
ALL THIS HAS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY, and simply yielding in obedience to the One
who loves us, He will simply amaze us by what He can reproduce in our flesh and
blood. He was , is and will always remain glorious and without parallel.

Norita his brother had written on FB
We arrived today at Heathrow airport and as we
were waiting for our suitcases we received the message saying that my
dear brother and pastor Daniel Garcia passed away last night. It was too
late for me to go back to Argentina but as we came back home we joined
with our sons, other brothers and sisters that came to greet us to give
thanks for his life of sacrifice and complete surrender, together t
o his dear wife Nelly, other servants of God such as Papi and other contemporaries in the work of His kingdom.
We are rejoicing now that he is resting from his tireless work for the
beloved church of the Lord. Even though he was still sick, his spirit
was intact in the Lord and he was continually thinking about the Church.
I heard him say a few things only weeks before passing away that will
stick with me: “care for the God’s church, take care of the brothers”
and also: “In the church meetings, do not rush the times of praise and
worship”. Then he added: 'Don’t stop going to church”.
He was a
tireless fighter, so much so that he entered with marks into the
Promised Land. He recognised his mistakes but deeply trusted in the Lord
his God. He dedicated time to the study of the Word and to prayer. The
Word of God has been extremely important in his life of faith. Crystal
clear waters from the throne of the Lord. The Lord increased those who
live out and bring the Word of the Lord clearly to the lives of its
people.
I always remember one of his favourite passages:
'but the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which is on the rise until the day is perfect' Proverbs 4: 18

Hoy llegamos al aeropuerto de Londres y
estabamos esperando las valijas cuando recibimos el mensaje que mi
querido hermano y pastor habia partido para estar con el Señor a las 8
de la noche del dia de ayer. Era muy tarde para volver a Argentina pero
al volver a casa pudimos dar gracias por su vida de sacrificio y entrega
junto a su querida esposa Nelly y a sievos de Dios como papi y sus
companiero
s de la obra. Estamos gozosos
de saber que ahora el esta descansando de su infatigable trabajo para la
amada iglesia del Señor. aun enfermo su espiritu estaba intacto en el
Senior y pensando en la iglesia. Una de estas ultimas semanas el dijo
entre otras cosas: "Cuiden a la iglesia del Señor, cuiden a los
hermanos" y otra vez: "los cultos deben tomar su tiempo en la alabanza y
adoracion". Luego aniadio: "No dejen de ir a los cultos". El fue un
luchador infatigable, que aun con marcas entro en la tierra prometida.
Reconocia sus errores pero confiaba ampliamente en Dios su Senior.
Tomaba tiempo en el estudio de la palabra y en oracion. La palabra de
Dios ha sido sumamente importante en su vida de fe. Aguas cristalinas el
trono del Señor. Que el Señor aumente aquellos que viven y traen la
palabra del Senior claramente a la vidas de su pueblo. Siempre recuerdo
uno de sus pasajes favoritos:"Mas la senda de los justos es como la luz
de la aurora, que va en aumento hasta que el dia es perfecto" proverbios
4: 18
