How Truly Big This All is ?

 

And the Moravians Sang On....

If you look at Lutheran faith after 1000 years of Catholicism you couldn't have even imagined such a changeover during the period leading up to it .


What is the changeover ? The personalisation of the Cross to me . The finished nature of Christ's work .

Through personalisation and the translation of the Bible at last ....at least for those who can read or learn reading through the Bible ......politics changes . Steady state science begins based on the  investigation of God's order in creation .


God's Presence is always and everywhere there .

We have to remember that in the so called Dark ages of Catholicism . People will look back and are  starting to , to label the Enlightenment as the Endarkenment , because human minds were dumbed down from all spirituality whatsoever .

And as we are spirit , as any Eastern faith will teach , this is essentially insanity .

So at regular intervals there were revivals and the Wesley and Whitfield one was decades long and at least one was a product of meeting Moravians on a ship . Moravians were a product of 100 years prayer meeting. There's a surge of pure God energy in that very connection .


Likewise nobody could envision the changeover that happened through Pentecostalism , the rediscovery of baptism in the Spirit .

It is the Holy Spirit who makes the New Covenant work. It is one of the central themes of Jesus last preach to the disciples in the Passover Meal ....that and the oft repeated " Whatsoever you ask in My Name shall be done for you ".


We just had no clear OFF THE GENESIS 3 LYING PLATFORM idea of what the dicke-ns " In my Name meant "


Gathering in My Name became experiential in Baptism in the Spirit . People were learning first hand to do things with the powers of the age to come and it can only work with some notion of prayerful knowing of when the Holy Spirit is leading us personally .


But how to do that outside meetings ?

How are we losing God ? What's dissipating ?


That's the third level discoveries of Cambridge mind Norman Grubb put to work on the subject , within running a world mission WEC for 60 years .


Nobody could have previsaged what could happen through Luther'simple restatement of the Brazen Altar Door way of Christ's Cross through whom multitudes poured through Lutheranism .


Nobody could have previsaged the millions converted through the work of the Holy Spirit in the last 100 years , and especially the work of Bonnke in Africa , leading one in every 100th inhabitant of the planet to the Lord ....80million plus .

Nobody could even dream of that in 1900 before the 1904 outpourings .


But what then , the combination of first stage , second stage and third stage growth of Christianity able to completely reverse Genesis 3 itself across the planet . Not just by the cheapskate message of a return to spirituality in New Age ....which is nothing more than meditating down into and further strengthening and confirming our own possession in Kundilini , the snake , the reptilean .....


No, this is believing upon Christ's export of the whole snake condition , and the whole self run I Will Thelema from the devil himself ...,.who then just leeches off us until our deaths ......


No .....out of here Devil .

Jesus the Lamb who yes takes away sins .....but legacy  churches , evangelical churches and Charismatic churches are also just as cheapskate as New Age ......they never specify and Ringfence Genesis 3.

Jesus is the scapegoat .

He is the Lamb and scapegoat who takes out quite literally the One Sin of Satan that there ever was ....

Living outside of God .


If you ask anything in My Name it shall be done for you .

And if there is a Church that believe all that we truly are in the upper realms of psalms of Ascent 

Psalm 133 and 134

Psalm 149

Psalm 24

Psalm 110 and in THE DAY OF GREAT POWER .

The last Connections are being put in place.....

The last connections are being put in place in the world Body of Christ.
Everyone connected to the Head primarily and the rollout of the actual New Covenant in Jeremiah 31.
Everybody knowing that the Presence and Protocols of heaven are gathering in the One Name, and entering into His Courts through praise and thanksgiving and then following the Holy Spirit direct in the Melchizedek Order until He is done. To facilitate, elders who are forerunners teach how to be sensitive to this heavenly order and help pickup the flow if it gets lost....but soon through training our senses according to righteousness everybody learns this.
Everybody is baptised into the Body Death and resurrection of Jesus the Son and experiences through total water immersion the actual experience of this death.
Everybody is instructed in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and His anointing.
Everybody is instructed in Grace and Presence, and learns it is not through works, but works are now fruit of internal process.
Everybody is instructed in the complete Blood covering of every past present and future sin but they are also instructed
In how they are a brand new creation....there is no old and new man. At our spirit -centre the old man was kicked out and never truly existed anyway....
It was Satan -I. It was me thinking I could be independent, but no man is ever independent....we are either powered by one spirit or another....God or the devil.
Everyone enters into the tussle of faith from Romans 6 and 7, until they have trained their senses in operating fully as Christ in their forms....Galatians 2.20
Everyone learns en route not to live in the futility of their minds as the Gentiles do
- to nolonger base their lives on their insight....but as proverbs 3 says to trust in the Lord with all their heart and acknowledge HIM in all their ways...
Everybody develops Christ consciousness internally which couples with Holy Spirit anointing outwardly
(the image of this is the MERCY SEAT....packed out with the three forms of WORD inwardly and having the Shekinah glory overhead.....
Everybody is equally at home knowing they are seated with Christ in heavenly places as they are cleaning sewers and helping with foul smelling wounds on people's bodies.
Everybody has now passed through the Revelation stages of Ephesians 1 and 2 and carried it through work, church and family life as in chapters 3 to 5, and now has the necessary inner and outer authority to move into corporate commissioning
in Ephesians 6. They are not so much putting on armour as actually BEING THE ARMOUR as Christ in them the hope of glory.
People everywhere are STANDING...in their homes....in their business....in their localities....in their nations....
Having walked through and experienced Psalm 24 and the Psalms of Ascents 130-133.......they are at last ready for what Ern Baxter ran through as a prototype in a cattle shed in Harrogate in 1976
ADDRESSING Ancient DOORS in the Spirit....and speaking THE GLOBAL BLESSING as in Psalm 134.....that the KING OF GLORY MAY COME IN
We have come to the point where most people think Revelation is the Spirit and the Bride say Come ....to their Bridegroom....but that's not what it says...READ IT
The Mature Bride in the Earth says with the Spirit to all the nations of the Earth in terms of MIGHTY INGATHERING.....Revelation 22.17
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. What is that like? What Isaiah saw in ch 55
“Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters;
And you who have no [a]money come, buy and eat.
Come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without cost.
2 “Why do you [b]spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And delight yourself in abundance.
3 “Incline your ear and come to Me.
Listen, that [c]you may live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the faithful mercies [d]shown to David.
4 “Behold, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
A leader and commander for the peoples.
5 “Behold, you will call a nation you do not know,
And a nation which knows you not will run to you,
Because of the Lord your God, even the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.”
This is the thirdlevel church God is raising in every nation under heaven, and with martyrs blood, and intense sufferings. She herself is labouring together with the groans of the Earth for sons....
Sing barren woman sing.....for she who has not born shall give birth to many sons.
WE PREACH....and we LABOUR.....and we also say COME AND SEE
Why? Because we are living Galatians 2:20
CHRIST IN OUR FORMS AS US.
This is the story of God in the Earth.

HOW DOES THE CHURCH OPERATE IN THE MELCHIZEDEK ORDER AS KINGS AND PRIESTS?

The Covenantal Walk of Psalms 130 through 134



The psalms of Ascent are an incredible study. I have blogged a whole post on them:
http://080808onnowto.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/gods-building-companygbc-psalms-120-134.html
Psalm 120 describes the negatives which drive us to find an answer. Originally being outer people, we naturally have already formulated that what we want are outer solutions, but God who is wise knows what we are really after is inner answers. Inner answers control the outer world.
Psalms 120- 130 describe some of our story en route to these inner discoveries.
When does redemption occur?
One of the perennial puzzles among Christians is if Passover is the start of our God story, and actually includes the event known as the supernatural tearing of the Veil, how come the actual Day of Atonement is so much later in the Jewish year? It is the start of the last Feast, the Feast of Tabernacles?

Psalm 130 seems pretty penitent, how come it isn't the first psalm of the Ascents?
See, what initially drives us to God is really just the beginning of our tale. We become believers. We become Christians. We experience what 1 John 2 describes as our Child stage of spiritual discovery. The forgiveness of the Lord is real to us. We gaze upon the Passover Cross and we receive forgiveness through the Blood shed by Jesus Christ.

But this is really not our story. This is Christ's. As Daniel Yordy and others have pointed out God is giving us a story. We are our own story. And by psalm 130 we learn Christ inwardly. Psalm 120 taught us forgiveness inwardly, but God is about producing a race of co-brethren, people who actually know Christ grown within them. A people who operate in the same way as Christ. Matthew 5 explains some of the awful awful paths we go down, but as real as childbirth pains lead to the reality of a child, so Christ says we give birth to the reality of the Christ person within us. Yes this is a mystery. It is one of the mysteries labelled as such in the New Testament.

The Day of Atonement happens much later, after we come to a different realisation. I not only need Christ for forgiveness....I need Him in the whole of me...to do anything. I realise the lie of independence and secularism. The lie of the middle man of Genesis 3. The posturing independent self who is meant to then choose between right and wrong. Except through story, God convinces us this very position IS BOGUS. I have only one choice. To have Satan live by me,using my vessel, or to have Christ live by me, again using my container, my vessel.
Adonai, I call to you from the depths;
2 hear my cry, Adonai!
Let your ears pay attention
to the sound of my pleading.
3 Yah, if you kept a record of sins,
who, Adonai, could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
so that you will be feared.
5 I wait longingly for Adonai;
I put my hope in his word.
6 Everything in me waits for Adonai
more than guards on watch wait for morning,
more than guards on watch wait for morning.(excerpt)
DEPTHS!
PLEADING
LONGINGLY
WAITS>>>MORE THAN GUARDS WAIT FOR THE MORNING
desperation in the extreme....utter utter weakness and helplessness
This is altogether different from being desperate for forgiveness....this is being
desperate that I can do nothing other than sin...my whole being is bent in this direction.

Some crash right into this, like Mary Magdalene....he who is forgiven much loves much.
Some like the rest of the disciples took longer.

The Truth of the day of Atonement.
The Truth of the Cross as related in John Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress a good way into the book
The Truth of Psalm 130 way way after Psalm 120....

is really when the KINGDOM STARTS.

Here is what it looks like.
Psalm 131 states you are wounded...
Like Jacob after Peniel you will limp for the rest of your days.
In this manner....
Adonai, my heart isn’t proud;
I don’t set my sight too high,
I don’t take part in great affairs
or in wonders far beyond me.
2 No, I keep myself calm and quiet,
like a little child on its mother’s lap —
I keep myself like a little child. or as a weaned child.
Weaned means, we are nolonger the central person in the universe.
A baby: I get hungry. I get fed. I am happy again.

We content ourselves with the "next thing" that Christ is doing through us. No more. No less.
This is the very same walk as Jesus. "I only do what I see the Father doing."

Psalm 130 and Psalm 131 are foundational to the life of the Kingdom. Yes other things up to now have been Christian. Have been God. We have blessed others. They have blessed us. But it is now the KINGDOM truly kicks in. We are down to the Rock. To Jesus as my sole source of Life. Before, some measure of all that we were doing was on sand. This helps to explain why such a lot of Christian things appear to implode. That which is built on Rock...may be pruned...but it cannot implode, it is in Christ.

These are individual foundations. They have to occur personally within EACH KINGDOM SAINT....but here's the shocker....in the next two psalms we find we have COME HOME to other walkers in the Covenant. We were never alone. The KINGDOM IS, and always has been CORPORATE.
But you can't BUILD corporate. YOU BUILD by speaking Word to individuals, who then COME HOME to the ROCK which is Christ, the original and ONLY SOURCE OF LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE. All other forms of life are derived forms of this one life...but if you want the TRUE form FIRST HAND....FRESH FROM THE FACTORY...it Has to come from God through Jesus.
"I am the Way(Your STORY), the Truth (of all that you are NOT and All that I am in you) and the LIFE (fully forming itself within you organically as you keep believing upon me by faith)"

For five centuries since perhaps the lowest ebb of the church world wide,since Martin Luther's faith stand, the Church has been picking a fresh corporate path along the psalm of Ascents. Pentecostalism began as being quite an individual experience. A baptism in the Holy Spirit. The later charismatic move through all the church denominations and out among the fresh independent house churches began to renew their vision as Christ building His Body. Not just piles of unrelated stones, but stones knit together, relating in love and faith.

I could see, and I told a leader so, that until at least the 90s, the whole move was built on jelly. There was no real firm foundation, because the inner excavation surrounding the truths of what went wrong in Genesis 3 hadn't been plumbed.
Some had begun, and really to this day, unless I am very much mistaken, this is where they dwell...the glory of psalm 130 and 131...but no further.

Christ in me is insisting that we go further. And Fred Pruitt himself caught something of a whiff of this new Priesthood order that Jesus instituted after His baptism in the Jordan.
http://080808onnowto.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/fot9-change-in-priesthood.html

“I will not enter the house where I live
or get into my bed,
4 I will not allow myself to sleep
or even close my eyes,
5 until I find a place for Adonai,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Ya‘akov.” Jacob

For Adonai has chosen Tziyon,
he has wanted it as his home.
14 “This is my resting-place forever,
I will live here because I so much want to......

Everyone that has seemed to rediscovered the great Union truths of us being Vine branches to His Vine, and this includes Daniel Yordy who has to be one of the most farthest seeing of all, fails to see what Paul sees in Romans.

The story is Jesus gathered out from many nations, but ONE with, no dividing wall of hostility with , Israel, who eventually look upon Him who, they have pierced.

Their Unity is our Unity, Jesus in Us in God as a heavenly community. God the All in All. Jerusalem literally will manifest the Spirit Word spoken over it in Psalm 48....the joy of the whole earth.. But current israel is boobytrapped. Ezekiel 28 uses the term briars and declares itself ruled from Sidon....or as it is in fact Tel Aviv area.

Psalm 133 is an incredible thing. It is unity but it is entirely within the context of the Holy Spirit having already established His Covenantal story, His covenantal walk in His people. That's why it couldn't work before. When Jesus announced His Corporate Word of John 17, the very next day the disciples all ran away apart from John.

Psalm 133 is a miracle. The miracle of the Gentile Mount Hermon dew falling on Mount Zion. I believe this is literal, but this picture is repeated over and over. God unites in that which is separated and in that which is impossible in man. The other picture is Aaron. Who is Aaron? Effectively the first high priest. Why does it refer back to the first office, and why not the rest of the Levites? Because this indicates the corporate High Priest, the Body of Jesus in the earth, binding that which can be bound and loosing that which can be loosed. We as a Body share the anointing oil of the Priest of the Order of Melchizedek, the One who ever lives before the Father to make intercession.
Psalm 134 is this new Priesthood going into action while "standing by Night" in the coming events.

The same spirit of psalm 132 is upon me to stir up the individual stones and say you have no option. The Spirit is stirring stones to build a Body on better foundations. A Covenant not made with pen and ink, but one drawn in the Blood of a Saviour and energised and upheld by the indestructible life of Christ
Heb 7:16 who has become such not on the basis of a law of [g]physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life. We are not a Body or church , like a club, to live unto ourselves, just for the sake of it. No this is specific. We are being raised as a particular priesthood with specific tasks. There is absolutely no option of living unto ourselves. Even just of sharing on an individual basis of the truths of Psalms 120-130. No God is on the move. God Himself is breathing, is breathing His breath and prophecy into piles of rattling dead bones, and saying Bones LIVE.
Take your place priesthood. Kings and Priests of our God. All hell is lining up to prevent the people of God from taking this seriously. If they do, Darkness knows it is finished.

God's Building Company...GBC. Psalms 120-134

Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;Ps127

The Psalms of Ascent are strange to a world which builds its constitutions in leftbrain lists of prose.

Can you think of anything more weird than someone announcing a 3 year university course, with the main syllabus as the Psalms of Ascent  broken down into about five psalms a year?

You see God doesn't "build" how we build.
Actually the disciples matured in the Spirit, from being quite secular people, most with quite different jobs, to people who could "fish" men by the Spirit and lay a foundation of Christ in people after only three years of being with Jesus.


Perhaps we should note here in these psalms then, that if we would "go up to the House of the Lord" individually, seeking that God should reveal His Son in us, that we are not offered a list of accomplishments, not even a list of beliefs per se, but  kind of blurry interconnecting stages of revelation about us, the ways of the Lord, and how we come into unity and union one with the Lord and each other.

And guess what? It's all written in Praise....as if Praise is the main manual or guide language!
Christ forms in us His Person. 

It's not  a "sufficient body of knowledge" that we attain to like in a secular university.
It's a Person who forms spiritually in the same sort of stages that we grow naturally....children ,young men, fathers.

I 'd like to say  I have revelation on the whole set of Psalms 120 -134. I haven't, but what I have I will briefly share.

Psalm 120 is the launch pad. The launchpad takes the form of  a squeeze. A bind. That which was formerly roughly OK for us in our surroundings is now detestable to us. Our own tongue. Our own thoughts and confessions are seen for what they are....LIES.  And surrounding us we see war not peace. The trouble thrusts us before the Lord. Lord we need an answer.....NOW.



Psalm 121 is about where are we going to get our help. On what are we relying on? The Material....or the Unseen...the realm where the Lord dwells.


Psalm 122  Is interesting. If 120-121 had been our individual decision, 122 brings us into the courts of the Lord to the place of the Spirit where we start getting knitted to others in the Body of Christ. It takes a revelation of the Spirit to do this...otherwise we are just a club of reasonably "distanced individuals".  But it is the working of the Spirit that makes one loaf of us.....COMPACTED TOGETHER.

Psalm 123 I would say is THE PSALM that the Holy Spirit used to lay in us who met in the renewed Baptist Church in Old Town Amersham...of the "way" God wanted His meetings run. And the "way" He wanted us to walk in our individual lives. I now call this  "moving in the Melchizedek Order". Listening to and seeing what the Lord is doing and getting in on it. This was how Jesus did His stuff too.

Psalm 124  Once we start to learn in Psalm 122 that we are a new people, a royal priesthood, almost immediately we learn firsthand that we are a "different people of a different spirit" to the ones who surround us. Interesting that Israel themselves were for a time quite at home in Egypt...but then imperceptibly the pressures mounted. Persecution. This is one of the main forcing procedures which form consciousness of who we are now...and how different it is from who we were before.

 Psalm 125 is the direct result, where we start to really experience the immoveable sure foundation of the Lord's Life now inside us. Christ ain't going nowhere....even when we can't perceive Him...sure enough He's still there living our Life.

Psalm 126
We start to experience the new phenomenon of the Life within us. It's NOT just about us anymore. Everyone in the world has troubles....but somehow ploughing on with "believing" in our hearts doesn't just lead to personal breakthroughs....we look around and start to see breakthroughs, and fruit and seed....that seem to appear....as if they've nothing to do with us...hey....where did all those results come from????

Psalm127 
Encouraged on by this, we think....well supposing I worked a little bit harder, a little bit longer hours....
Hmmmmm....then we learn the other truth

"we" can't produce God's fruit for Him, we can't of ourselves produce His work, His Temple.
Ohhh...that's a bit of a chastening blow. We learn afresh...we really aren't in charge. And hereon in is a bit like Romans 6 and 7, where we start to be led into a path, designed specially for us, to XRAY for us exactly WHO WE ARE AS PERSONS....and WHO WE ARE NOT and NEVER WERE.

Psalm 128
Here is the main difference between God's Building Company and the devil's building Company.
The devil is building a corporation. A pyramid of willing serfs that are prepared to labour to produce his "things", his "works".


Salvation....or sozo wholeness...produces LIFE
OFFSPRING
THINGS FROM OUR VERY BODIES.
CHILDREN.
FAMILY

COMMUNITY.
God doesn't build Pyramids and force everyone into pyramid shapes to fit.
God's The Dad  who is bringing forth Giant sized Family.
Multinationally. 
Multi ethnically.
Multi personality -ly
Multi-agedly

Psalm 129 
In 1 John 2 :12 ff John says two things. That there are three stages of growth and secondly he encapsulates in these verses what they are.
You will notice the "young man " stage is quite a battle, but John speaks the word of faith over them saying...THE BATTLE is ALREADY  WON...you HAVE overcome the enemy. 
This psalm is really in the thick of it.
Whatever version you or I go through....spiritually speaking it's just the same.
But it's a battle to DEFINE US TO THE CORE.
God doesn't need to know who we are. He included us already into the death of His Son. We have to make the story ours so that we know it.
The Israelites had to go through the wilderness so that THEY knew inside themselves...what God HAD ALREADY done for them  in delivering them from Egypt via the blood painted on their lintels, and the Red Sea Rolling Aside to let them pass.
We don't think anymore of cursing individualsas if they are the source of the problem....this is a cry that we are separated from all the spiritual forces that used to bind us and foul up our lives. They were always the real enemies. 

Psalm 130 
Nobody who hasn't been through this measure of defining process can't imagine what a ploughing experience it is. The word harrowing is not a mute phrase. "Out of the depths I cry" is just about the sum of it. You were previously unaware that you had these level of depths.
This is where we learn what is "back of house". Secular life is all about front of house. Now Buddhists are going to say that they ARE aware of "back of house"...and largely I have to agree....but the claim of Christianity is that Jesus sends us the Holy Spirit who leads us into all truth...and He alone is qualified to take us down into our basement  AND STILL sustain us with His Power while He is doing it.
Now , from the moment of conversion Jesus Spirit comes into us. Our spirit is NOT what this is about. It's Our soul. What is easily seen and what is underneath. But it's our soul that needs answers. Our spirit is fixed in the Lord. 
 My soul waits for the Lord
More than the watchmen for the morning....

No matter what "front of house" looks like....I declare what the Word says about me.
There is an earnest "waiting in hope"....but based on what is spiritually true NOW.... 
Psalm 131
This describes that state of rest the Holy Spirit plunges us into. Nolonger this "soul-powered" delusion that everything is front of house. The Cross. The Word has axed itself right through this spiritual delusion.
Why a weaned child?
Well a suckling child is still in the delusion that the universe revolves around it. As soon as it is hungry all it has to do is cry. And immediately it has a breast to suck, for comfort and food.
But....after weaning it learns about meal times. About falling into line. About taking its right place in the universe....alongside the order of all things.
What's the connection spiritually?
Someone who doesn't know spiritual circumcision yet  doesn't have a single eye? Jesus meant by this phrase that you ONLY SEE GOD GOING ON. You don't simply decide what you want, or want to do and get on with it. By now you are mature training your senses in righteousness. Sensing whether God is in something or not.
This has such a srange appearance to secular non-spiritual people. This is one of the big differences between Irish and English people. Or English and Eastern people, or Western and Russian people . People who have spiritual depth move from their insides.
Not from surface feelings or surface thoughts as the devil pulls them.
Trouble is....religious people who still live "front of house" try to copy what they perceive spiritual people are doing, and they invent stupid rules like off the islands of Scotland where the churches are not permitted to sing with musical instruments, because it's unspiritual. Maybe at one timeperiod...or one Sunday the Holy Spirit may have given this direction....now forever and a day since these churches practice this deadletter rule.


Psalm 132
Try thinking of these psalms as three sets of struggles and resolutions.
The first squeeze nudges us into exploring what a relationship with God might mean.This is like the child stage of spiritual growth . Then comes much persecution and trial of our faith as we press into God's NEW DEFINITION of us since the Cross. This is what Mother Basilea Schlink called the "Battle of Faith". What Norman Grubb calls our passage from Romans 6 to 8 AS CONSCIOUSNESS within us.
Once established, Psalm 132 begins another squeeze. Our eyes are opened to spiritual reality. A reality that we couldn't have taken before or we'd have been buried in terminal depression.
We'd got too many of our own problems to cope with.
But the great victory  after Psalm 130 is so incredible that Paul says it inspires great hope in us....consolation. If God can do this in me....then He can do this thing for others too.
Romans 5:3-4 we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope; Youngs Literal Translation
The reality is that according to the Promises in the Word that we are to keep in remembrance, and bring them before the Lord, as representatives of the bottom foot of the Covenantal ladder, the House of the Lord remains unbuilt....and a new holy desperation grips us. A determination, that just as we have been set free, we want others to also know this consciousness for themselves too.
  “If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them, NASB

Well Jesus has come and taught us His testimony.
It's a combination of an actual walk that Jesus learned as a man on this earth, with no party tricks, laying aside His glory and overcoming for thirty years, and also it is a testimony in the sense that He taught us "faith talk", "faith protocol". How the gift of faith and the word of faith work.
I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
Until I find a place for the Lord,
[c]A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah,
We found it in the field of [d]Jaar.
Let us go into His [e]dwelling place;
Let us worship at His footstool.

Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.
Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your godly ones sing for joy.
 
  Initially, the first generation of new covenant priests since the 60s and 70s have thought in terms of worship meetings and our manner of gathering together in the Holy Spirit. Really it is in this context that David Swan writes "The Holy of Holies.", that Bill Johnson and IHOP function, that Jorge Pradas wrote his Argentinian book "Congregados Para Darle Gloria." This was after all how we sensitised ourselves to the Holy Place, to the real Presence of God after centuries of only trickles of the stuff followed by an awful lot of preaching,and praying according to liturgy.

Somehow we missed John 4 and what Jesus was really about, followed by Paul who described us as Living Letters written on by the Holy Spirit. Jesus said to the Samariatan woman, neither here nor at Jerusalem shall people worship, for they shall worship Me in Spirit and truth.

It's not about places.
It's about becoming His footstool, fullstop.
Not as one Facebook writer caught up in a narrow grace view wrote, so we can be stomped all over.....but in the context of Earth being tooooo toooo little  to contain the exceeding greatness of God's glory....so it's called a footstool. A place where God can put His feet up. He's come home!!!!


Psalm 133

Now as charismatics we kind of adopted psalm 133 as we revelled in a new found sense of unity after all of us from many church backgrounds found more unity together than ever before through the experience of the baptism in the Spirit.
But actually Paul describes unity this way.

Ephesians 4:3being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
......verse 13 until we attain the unity of the faith


There's a unity we came into way back in Psalm 122 where we were compacted together after being filled with the Spirit. In tabernacle terms this took place at our baptisms...in water and in the Spirit pictured in the Laver. The Laver being also a mirror, wherein we look at our new reflection, which is the Person of Christ in us. This is our spiritual basis for unity which we are to maintain, the fact that we are all vessel containers of Christ now that we have been born again.

Together we cross the outercourts to the tent of meeting, the holy place, where we meet together in Jesus.

However Psalm 133 is another order of unity altogether .
It's a mystery psalm.
It's a prophetic psalm
It hasn't really happened yet.
For a start this kind of priesthood COMES AFTER all the experiences of the psalms so far.
This is a Body we haven't really seen yet.
This is the third level church, where NOT JUST ONE priest ministers of the stature of Watchman Nee, or Boehme,or Norman Grubb,or Sundar Singh...
No, we're talking of a whole generation Ps 110 of people who have volunteered in the Day of His power.
Of a generation of Psalm 24 people who have sought the face of the God of Jacob.
This is a specific level of church that knows the Psalm 91 Abiding in the Shadow of the Most High, a people of the Holiest Place.  Now onto THIS people comes an anointing so strong, for a start in brings together the two mountains for the first time in history. We are talking MIRACLE.
It is like the dew of Hermon which comes down on Zion.
Really this was prefigured by Ruth Heflin's call, as a complete Jewish outsider,or Gentile, to raise up a well of praise,adoration and worship in the centre of what will be the final form of Israel according to Ezekiel 28 , in other words not the present one called Sidon/Tel Aviv.
It's talking about the Arab and Jew coming together.
The Gentile Church and the converted Jew coming together.
It's one incredible psalm and this incredible cocktail of unity
takes us through to 

Psalm 134  

This is a people like Ian Clayton says who have learned the trick of beholding. Behold, bless the Lord......
They are not novices at it because they have spent since Psalm 123 doing it.
Notice it says  ALL YOU SERVANTS OF THE LORD
At the time this psalm was written only ONE servant of the Lord, the high priest, entered and once a year on the Day of Atonement.

Jesus said:
But the day is coming when all those who worship Me will worship in Spirit and in truth.John 4:23
The New Covenant declared by Jeremiah was
they shall all know me from the least to the greatest. Jer. 31:34 Like Moses standing on the shore of the Red Sea commanding the waves with his rod, this psalm describes a tight spot.
....who stand by night in the house of the Lord.
At such a moment, and for such a moment have these servants been prepared in greater number than ever before, to declare a blessing from out of the true Zion....those who worship in Spirit and in truth.  "May the Lord Bless you from Zion....and the question of scale....He who made heaven and earth."
Whatsoever ye bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven."

This is said with the anointing  of God's Shekinah glory Presence which hovers over the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies. This is said by a priesthood that has learned like Jesus to walk as vessel containers of God.
Containing the Law of God within them, the Rhema Presence of the Lord symbolised by the manna, as well as using "whatever is in our hand", whatever we learned the ways of the Lord with, whatever we find most naturally part of us, but stripped down,simplified like the almond rod, and put into God's hands for Him to express His Almighty authority through.
