Brokenness I

We hear a lot in the charismatic realm about "being vulnerable".
For many years in the 80s Gene Edwards was telling us about brokenness.
Ed Miller was too.
We saw that King David, his brokenness, was somehow connected to the amazing promise over his life...Behold I give you the Key of David,Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut,.......

but the leftbrain hears these words and constructs its own reality out of it....

you get people "looking broken"

in our Bible Houses you had the women bringing onions to the meetings....and everybody thought they were real tears...well the tears were real enough...but so were the onions.

You get people reading about Jacob at Peniel then walking round with sticks.

Brokenness is NOT a leftbrain doctrine.

Neither is Christ in you the hope of glory...

Brokenness per se, is not even a revelation....

At one level it is brokenness over sin....but Jesus never sinned yet walked in brokenness...

Brokenness is KNOWING your union with God...
KNowing that your life is not your own...it is God's life in you.
Because that is such a core concept to thirdlevel living, and is so many layers down....

Romans 7 has to be a very deliberate experience...
Put it this way....YOU KNOW ABOUT IT !!!!!!

"I will write these laws upon your heart." Jeremiah 31

Before we had one programming code and always strayed....
But now the Holy Spirit is writing His New programming code right into us.

Hah....

But there is a brokenness that has nothing to do with sin.
It is the experience of God loving through you....but with that Cross in the heart of God Himself...
What is the Cross...the negation...the absolute decision within God, that as powerful as He may be, He never will lie against Himself in order to be anything but a LOVE For Others being....

A Cross marked through the very spot that is to do with SELFLOVE at another's expense.

The Quadrinity

In the first two chapters of Hebrews while using the Old Testament quotes to mark out the special sending of the Son Jesus Christ, the only Begotten Son of God....
MAN refers to the original intent with Adam,
the Son of Man refers to BOTH Jesus Christ the firstborn, the Forerunner, the Pioneer, and also
His Body reborn from on High and an extension of the Head who now rules from the heavens.

Do you worship the same God as Jesus? Jesus said that his Father is his God. He never mentioned anything about his God being a trinity. If you attend a typical church, then your God consists of 3 beings, a father, son and spirit. Jesus never spoke of any such god. If you don't believe that the Father is the only true God (John 17:3) then you worship a mythical god that isn't biblical. That doesn't seem like a good idea.

ANSWER TWO FIRST
Chris Welch
all I know is that some 30 years before the Shack was written, seated below the monument upon Coombe Hill overlooking the prime ministers country house, Chequers....
I had a vision of God that broke me in two. It was of three friends arm in arm. They had a beautiful co submissive relationship, which I since realise is coming out of what Norman Grubb calls the eternal decision to do Nothing out of self for self love, but to direct everything out of a heart of Agape Love, love for others with a Cross right through its heart. And into this already perfect relationship and fellowship they were calling man. I was with a wonderful sister but every time I tried to explain to her what I had just seen, my words broke apart and I was just weeping......while I guess others were walking round the column wondering what the adult young English male was doing.

ANSWER ONE

Chris Welch It's a quadrinity. And the whole thing is the most beautiful romantic....or roGodtic tale you can imagine or can't imagine....because it's so good. The Father breathed into some clay He had previously called into being by the Word while the Spirit was "incubating" on the waters. From the moment the Father came and kissed this clay form a Quadrinity was formed because we shared His Spirit. The Father came and directed the outer courts teaching of Man. The Son came and instructed about the existence of a new priesthood format which became the congregation of Jesus Christ. But then the Holy Spirit came to finish the job. So the Holy Spirit now works "within the Holy Place" or transition room of the heavenly Tabernacle to prepare the Bride to be ready for the true Room, the Throne Room, where we will enjoy Quadrinity living within the Godhead for eternity. Jesus brings in the Kingdom and submits ourselves and Himself that God the Father may be the All......But inside All.

Jesuitry

The Quantum Cry

I am not a special guy. If you could see me now there are a whole string of ways I am needing God right now. Like a dam things are building up on my insides....because nothing really changes until things change in the Spirit.

All I can tell you is I was born into an incredible situation. OK not aristocracy. But because both my parents were physics teachers at a time when teachers were paid well, and at a time when it was not at all normal for women to go out to work....we were well off.

Maybe having material needs met, and the awesome privilege of being in one of the last FREE Grammar schools in the UK that regularly pushes its people into the top universities, while all the rest of such schools are feepaying....

Maybe for this reason, with all outer bases covered,....I began really noticing inner emptiness.

I had thought Christianity was true but methodism had well instructed me that none of it was true, so by 12, having over achieved at school, I became a nihilist, an atheist.
And I plummeted.
Stephen Fry talks about his Black Dog and depression.
I was so depressed. I never did quite as well at school. I couldn't honestly see the point. Just getting a job, to have a house and wife, and then die seemed utterly utterly pointless.

BUT I AM AT LAST REALISING THAT GOD MEANT ME TO FEEL DESPAIR. HOPELESSNESS. TO ENGENDER A DEEP SUBTERRANEAN CRY.....

I am not a special person. I am really ordinary. I like sex. I like food.
I like seeing new things......I like having money to spend...(what was that?) I am not specially spiritual. Yes, I am like lots of artistic creative guys...tend to see stuff from the inside out...but probably around a quarter of the population are like this.
But for some reason....in a set up that Frank Viola identifies as the
CRY OF LONELINESS in ADAM or
THE CRY FOR DELIVERANCE of the Israelites in Egypt...

God set up my circumstances early
to answer my desperate desperate 12 year old heart...
and POWER ME EARLY into the Jeremiah 31 experience of the New Covenant....of KNOWING HIM....
not knowing theology
not knowing theories
knowing GOD HIMSELF from my insides....
so that from 12 onwards at least I have walked my 1 John 2 external life in tandem with my internal life.

Now Jesus managed to do this without sin....and as we crash more and more into His life...by our failure....HIS OWN LIFE IS THE SAME AS OUR LIFE....IT IS JESUS CHRIST LIVING AS A CHRIS WELCH, OR WHOEVER.....

But still

But still..... for Jesus as for any human vessel of God's Life...
our human experience is the same....

We feel like we are running short....
Our externals seem to get a bit tight....

Don't think this was any different for the Son of God....He was born that way.....in very tight externals....a manger....no room at the inn.

When Jesus looked up to heaven in exasperation several times in the gospels and said..... "How long must I be with this generation of unbelief????" Don't make light of this....

This is life not being how you think it should be....and if you listen in the Spirit you can hear the intensity Jesus felt this....
It was God again inside Jesus Christ being the intercession for MORE of HIMSELF on EARTH.....

GOD CHANGE THIS!!!!!!
Later Jesus vocalised this as....
"You have no idea how constrained I am to want to send fire to the earth" Now a carnal thinking evangelical interprets this as....
Boy...how much I am looking forward to send the fire of God down and consume people in fiery judgment!!!!

But as with all things....be it rebuilding the Temple in 3 days
or a "greater than Solomon, or Abraham or David" is here....
Jesus was speaking on a Spirit level here.
He was always about His Father's business which is to have a God Dwelling Place on earth....
not bricks , but humans....

so the word fire here relates to spiritual fire
the fire that judges and rids us of the Adamic inheritance
the purging fire of God
the altar of incense in the HolyPlace just before the Holiest Place.

The Baptism of the Spirit and Fire always had to do with the end goal.....
I will make of your "enemies" a footstool
a Mature Man
a flesh and blood embodiment of the Mercy Seat with the three forms of Word inside, overshadowed by Shekinah glory.....

So the Driver.....be it the intense loneliness of Adam for a mate, which was only so we could also feel God's intense yearning for a mate.....

So the Driver for deliverance, which was the intense cry of the Israelites in a negative Egyptian situation....

so the Driver....for a vast harvest white with golden grain...is the need for evangelism, of a mankind looking for answers....which leads us to cry to the Father.....send forth ministries PLEEEEEASE, dynamite out ministries (is what the Greek actually means)...

Yes the Driver for all these things is the external pinch of things being too tight to mention....

WE NEED MORE
WE NEED CHANGE
and our insides feel the pinch.

So yes I am very ordinary...but by setting up my circumstances God had already anointed me by 13, with friends we had run groups of Christians by our teens, i was being headhunted to run the Christian Union at Exeter after my first year there....
my worship songs and music were being used....

i was already into what would be the equivalent of David's adultery crisises at age 20.... only to be followed by Kevin Prosch, Mark Stibbe, countless Morris Cerullo related power ministries....

and Ian McCulloch (below) prays for me in this condition in Emsworth in 1978, not really having a clue what the Spirit was praying through him. "Lord, do a quick work in Chris "....

Well the quick 9 year work, neither looked outwardly quick...
nor looked like a "work"....
but anybody defining King David's life at the time wouldn't have described it as that spiritual either....divided into 3 horrible classes of crisis....AND ALL LONG AFTER THE ONE THING THE WORLD KNOW HIM FOR...KILLING GOLIATH....
1. Saul chasing after him with his entire army
2. David sleeping with a man's wife and sending him off to the frontline to murder him
3. David being chased around by his own son Absalom

None of that looked in anyway promising....

So as things unfolded for me...none of it even registered on Ian McCulloch's scale of reference, to even know if his prayer had been answered. He may have been renewed by the Spirit, but Ian's entire life experience had been the son of a Brethren missionary, only to become a Brethren missionary to Argentina himself.

Like Terry Virgo, Bryn Jones, Gerald Coates, john Noble, Barney Coombs, and now selfconfessed to by David Tomlinson writing so effectively as he did in his own biographical "The Post Evangelical"
none of us.....and I say that as a teenager that also used to pray for people to be converted and baptised i the Spirit....

none of our generation in God even knew there were three stages of growth in 1 John 2. We thought 1 John 2 was purely about the three natural human growth phases.

So even when Ian McCulloch summoned all the church elders to "call me to order" in Emsworth church....these things are always secret affairs....(not to embarrass the people concerned)
even when stating the date I had to "repent" by
and even when I supernaturally appeared to the minute some 60-90 minutes into the service to silently "take " my judgment....
to be given over to Satan.....
as Brethren based people like doing after the pattern of Paul....

all so strict and tight and to the book....first address someone singly, then take some elders, then address the whole church......

as this all unfolded in a charismatic church setting, there was nothing in Ian McCulloch's experience thus far that could have ever prepared him for what was happening in front of him....

even though he had personally prayed over me

"Lord Do a quick work with Chris....."

Their generation has some faint inkling about Romans 6 to 8, but they never lingered long in these scriptures...only the 8th chapter like any good charismatic....

Their generation, if like a good Brethren Teacher, they actually covered the Tabernacle...as Ian did....

then they always stopped at the Holy place....they had no clue beyond the candlestick....

so there Ian was....

staring at one of the first of a pioneer breed of thirdlevellers in the UK....but Ian ofcourse didn't ...couldn't know what he was looking at....

Yet God had framed his life perfectly thus far to be the man to raise such a church in the UK to pioneer what a real church is....

a church that actually obeys Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12-14 when it gathers.

But a bit like Moses and the promised Land....God said to Ian....

Thus far and no further.

This is even more ironic when you consider that it was Ian McCulloch who had felt called to lock himself away in a caravan to seek God for was it one month????40 days???

Anyway Ian began as a result to minister on GLORY.....a subject unheard of up to this point, to describe anything here on earth before Jesus comes back or we die.

Since 1984 it has become commonplace to hold "Glory Conferences".....but surely Emsworth 1984 conference must count as one of the first in a CHURCH VISION setting!!!!

So yes....as is the case on much of Facebook to this day
most of my 2500 friends cannot put these two seemingly disparate things together.....

IN THE HOLIEST PLACE

is a box of gnarled twisted grain acaciawood (humanity) clothed with gold inside and out and containing three forms of mature WORD

and this connects with the superstar, whammy zappy Holy Spirit whan bam thankyou maam....power and anointing of God's Throne overshadowing in the form of Shekinah....

but the chief priests couldn't see the connection either between

a smashed up Nazarene with a crown of thorns and 39 whip marks....and 40 days later a man ascending to heaven in a glory cloud to take up his place as Lord of Lords.

Who has believed our message?

And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

2 For He grew up before Him like a tender [a]shoot,

And like a root out of parched ground;

He has no stately form or majesty

That we should look upon Him,

Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.

3 He was despised and forsaken of men,

A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;

And like one from whom men hide their face

He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

THIS IS THE THIRDLEVEL WALK......
as Isaiah 53 says....like a root out of parched ground;

THIS IS THE HUMAN WALK IN GOD ENGENDERING THE CRY AMIDST TOTAL FRUSTRATION AND LIMITATION

WHICH AS PRIESTS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD BRINGS FORTH THE QUANTUM CRIES AND CHANGES IN THE EARTH TO OUR TIME SPACE WORLD.....

THIS IS THE SECRET HIDDEN FOR AGES OF HOW WE GET TO FULFIL THE ORIGINAL COMMAND TO ADAM

Go, multiply, fill the earth

AND SUBDUE IT !!!!!!

Engaging With Scripture :Lektio Divina

https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/scripture-engagement/lectio-divina/home

What is Lectio Divina?
Campbell McAlpine used to go round the UK teaching Bible meditation. That's what this is. Upon this foundation, upon house church meetings sharing and waiting on God, and Bible House itself...I have used these techniques in the 35 years I have been piano tuning.

If meditation in God's Holy Spirit, waiting on God, and moving in the Melchizedek Order were taught properly, Christians would not be dashing off to Buddhism to learn consciousness.

Lectio divina (pronounced "lec-tsee-oh di-vee-nah"), Latin for “sacred reading,” “divine reading,” or “holy reading,” is a spiritual practice that has been in use for over a thousand years. It was originally practiced by monks who spent a large portion of their days praying and reading Scripture. While reading they noticed that at times individual words, phrases, or verses seemed to leap off of the page with a special personal importance. Have you had the same experience? These special words or verses can give a sense of encouragement, comfort, thankfulness, or conviction that often applies to present situations and can draw us closer to God.

Lectio divina is an intimate way of communicating with the Lord. All too often in prayer and worship, we talk to God but don’t give him a chance to communicate back to us. Lectio divina employs God’s own words to have a personal conversation with him.

Not Magic
Lectio divina is NOT a magical practice that guarantees you’ll hear God’s voice. Magic attempts to manipulate God into doing what we want. There is nothing magical about Scripture engagement. Lectio divina involves ruminating on God’s Word and listening to what he says so that we become more like Christ. This practice has the ability to open us up to daily communication with God as the Holy Spirit illuminates the Bible so that we are supported and sustained in our day-to-day lives.

Four Stages
The four traditional stages of lectio divina are lectio (reading), meditatio (meditation), oratio (prayer), and contemplatio (contemplation). The steps were created simply to provide structure and guidance for people who wish to learn how to perform this practice. Consider how people learn to play a new instrument. A man who is learning piano must go through the steps of reading the notes, putting his hands in the right place, pushing down on the keys, listening to the notes, and then repeating the process. At first, each step seems rigid and awkward, but over time he learns to perform each of these steps as one fluid process leading to the actual art of music.

The four steps of lectio divina have also been compared to “feasting on the Word.” Reading is taking a bite of food. Meditation is chewing food. Prayer is savoring food. Contemplation is digesting food and making it a part of your body......(end excerpt)

Another Principle of Giving. Being targeted in our approach - Eric Rukin

Eric's Facebook note·

Friend,
A lot of attention on social media has rightly been raised about Christians giving our money for the right reason...to the "why" of Christian giving.
The grace portion of our bibles teach true giving is only done when it is voluntary, cheerful, spontaneous and from love, rather than out of obligation, fear of punishment or hope of reward.
Yet almost strangely, little to no attention has been given to the "what" our money goes toward.
Perhaps we have we been trained not to ask "to what" the money we choose to give goes toward?
Let's think about it.
Love responds to needs.
And love also has the right to decline when it doesn't grasp the importance of a need or deems he/she does not want to meet the need, for whatever reason.
When it comes to giving money, God gave us an ability to respond in love, as long as tangible and specific needs are presented to us.
Yet, where giving money is encouraged without knowing what our money is going toward, we are giving blindly.
And blind giving is always a recipe for manipulation and fear-based giving to occur.
Search the grace portion of your Bible and you will not find an instance where a single shekel was given to a yet unidentified, "to be determined" need.
Go further and search the grace portion of your Bible and you will not find an instance where ritual giving is encouraged and money is stockpiled for a yet to be determined need.
Go further and you will not find a single instance where a child of God was made to feel bad because, for whatever reason, he chose not to give.
Whether it be time, money or things, God designed that our "giving" must be a response to a known need and our giving must be done willingly.
If giving is not done willingly, it won't be giving for the right reason.
Yet, so many churches and ministries today ask you and I to give our money regularly out of "devotion to the Lord" while failing to identify any specific need our hard earned dollars are going toward.
And they fail to allow us to decline.
This is blind giving and God discourages it because it is the vehicle of fear...and the enemy of love.
Ritual giving robs us of the joy and spontaneity God intended for us in creating us to be responders.
Because God made us responders, wherever needs remain unidentified, it is truly impossible to give money cheerfully and motivated from real love.
As long as the "what" is unidentified, giving for the right "why" remains impossible.
As long as ritual giving is encouraged without identifying what need or needs our money is going toward, and without a clear choice to decline, we can't give spontaneously and lovingly as God intends.
As long as we are unable to say, "I'll pass this time" and do so repeatedly without being viewed by others as less than Christian, it is fear based giving, not love based.
Let's get back to grace in regard to giving our time, our things...and our money.

45 Years on this side of the Cross - David Heisler's testimony

Facebook Posts 1-7

David

I

On December 16, 1971 Jesus put His arms around me. He saved my life and gave me Life. Here is my Testimony:
I’m a Jewish guy, born in New York City and raised in Connecticut. Jews, if they believe in a Messiah [Christ] at all, will generally say that he has not arrived. Most won’t talk about “Messiah”. There is some notion, in the Old Testament, that when the Messiah arrives there will be “peace on Earth” and since there is not peace now, then, ipso facto, there is no Messiah, yet.
In Jewish tradition there are different beliefs as to exactly who or what the Messiah is. There is certainly no consensus that He is the Son of God. As a kid I did go to synagogue (Jewish church) to some extent, but I never did my bar mitzvah at age 13 as some of my friends and most of my cousins. I did not take the study of Hebrew seriously so my family decided not to spend the money on the bar mitzvah. Bar Mitzvahs can be very expensive.
Nonetheless, I always believed in God. To me it was fighting words if someone said that God did not exist. I never thought that life or anything for that matter could exist without God. Nothing made sense if there was no God. I remember lying in my bed at night, looking up at the ceiling and thinking, “I know You’re out there, somewhere, but I don’t know You.” I was speaking to and about God. I believed in Him, but didn’t know Him. Believe me, there is a difference between acknowledging existence and knowing.

II

In 1971 I enrolled at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas – it’s a long story how a Jewish kid from New York and Connecticut got to TCU – a story for another time. But, hint, hint, it had something to do with the Dallas Cowboys. It seemed as soon as I arrived on campus I immediately started meeting people who wanted to talk to me about Jesus. This all was shocking. I was a Jewish kid that grew up in a largely Italian-Catholic, African-American neighborhood. Back home no one tried to “convert” me. No one asked me if I was “saved”.
All the Jesus talk in Fort Worth was a different language to me. And, I never really considered “eternal” questions before. And, yes, I did hear a bit of “fire and brimstone”, but that neither persuaded me or truly concerned me. I never, and don’t now, consider God to be concerned with correct theology, only a correct heart. But, for the first time in my life I was confronted with the Jesus people. Previously I was convinced that Jesus was not the promised Messiah. But my new Texas friends said, to the contrary, that he was the Messiah. Now, not all these conversations were the afore-mentioned “fire and brimstone”, and at first this talk seemed amusing, but later disturbing and I eventually tried unsuccessfully to avoid it. But, I did not stop thinking, as the foundations of everything I knew and believed and thought about God were being shaken to the core. I guess He was up to something.

III

I can’t really picture Who God Is. But Jesus says, “… Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” [John 14.9] So, I’m thinking, Who is this Person Who so arranges my life that I get to Fort Worth, Texas at the precise moment in history? How can He take a personal interest in me and everyone? My human mind cannot really fathom or understand such a Person. But I can see Jesus, the Person as myself, yet the Creator and King, Who defines Himself as Love, “God is love” [1John 4.8], and knows exactly how many hairs are on my head. “But there shall not an hair of your head perish.” [Luke 21.18] He knows everything about all the billions of us and is active in every life.
Over the course of my first semester in college I got mononucleosis and stayed in the TCU infirmary for two weeks. I met the head nurse Helen Williamson and I had previously met one of her four sons, Nathan, as he was also a freshman at TCU.
College life was not as I had hoped. My football career was in shambles with a torn up right knee needing surgery. I missed home and family. I felt very alone at times. The Jesus people were getting to me. I wanted to go home. So I decided that at the end of the semester I would go back to Stamford, Connecticut and enroll in a local college.

IV

So I decided to go home and my last day in Fort Worth was December 16, 1971. There is nothing random in the universe as the Designer Himself tells His-story as He sees fit. Yet, I can’t recall why, but for some reason, on that day, I wandered into the TCU Health Center. The head nurse, Helen Williamson spotted me immediately and asked me into her office. We sat and she asked me point blank, “are you happy David?” I said “no”. She said “you need Jesus”. I said, “no I don’t.” She said, “why don’t you come over my house for dinner tonight and meet my family”. I said, “If you make brownies you got a deal.” She said “yes” and I accepted the invitation to dinner.
I don’t recall for certain anything other than the brownies, but I think I ate fried chicken. A surprise guest showed up after dinner, Rocky Freeman, a Jewish evangelist. Rocky and I talked and mostly argued for about two hours about God, Judaism, salvation and mostly his opinion that I needed Jesus. I was not convinced by the time dinner was over. However, over the course of my conversation with Rocky I happened to get a glimpse of the Williamson boys who were trying to listen in to our conversation. Three of the four boys still lived at home: Nate, Rod and Clay. When I saw them they giggled and were quite playful with each other. That scene, which I will never forget, was what convinced me that there was something different about this family and that there was something, or really, Someone, behind all this Jesus talk I had heard for months.

V

So, all these months of listening to the spoken word regarding Jesus and the often repeated claim of my need for salvation was important but not what eventually convinced me. By December 16, 1971 I knew all the words and scriptures. But none of that clinched the deal. I had to see Him. I had to see Him in action and I did. I saw Him in the faces of Nate, Rod and Clay Williamson. I saw the living word. That night I saw the most loving and caring family I have ever seen – Helen, her husband, Charles, and Nate, Rod and Clay. Now, don’t get me wrong, I grew up in a family that loved each other also, but there was something different in the quality of love expressed in Williamson family.
At the conclusion of the evening I thanked Helen for dinner and then Nate gave me a ride back to my dorm room. Later Nate told me that he tried his best to say whatever he could to polish off the night’s discussion. I didn’t hear a word. I just thought and thought about how someone or something had made this family so warm and loving toward each other.
I knew when I got in my room that I would do something. What? I wasn’t sure. I couldn’t get out of the car fast enough and ran into my dorm room and right to the small mirror above the sink.

VI

The ride back to Tom Brown Dormitory at TCU was surreal. I didn’t and really couldn’t hear one word Nate said. Jesus has been called the “Hound of Heaven” and I know why. If He’s after you, He’ll get you, eventually. I think of so many people who spoke a word of faith to me along the way. They couldn’t close the deal. Did they feel frustrated or, perhaps, a failure? I don’t know. But the lesson on that is clear. Just speak a word of faith regardless. Encourage people. You may never see the “moment of faith”. The Williamson family didn’t know for many months what happened to me next.
I got out of the car. I don’t know if I said anything to Nate. I ran into my dorm room. My roommate was gone. I walked to the sink. I looked into the mirror and said, “Jesus Christ, if you’re the Son of God, I give you the opportunity to prove it to me right now.”
Well, He had been hounding me for some time. He was right there. Jesus was standing behind me and He put His arms around me. I did not see Him. But He was there and the experience was real. At age 18 He seemed to be a mature, older man at age 33. Now, He seems to be a young man. Regardless, that was the most real moment of my life. My eyes swell with tears every time I think about it. I have not doubted since then. That was December 16, 1971. From that moment forward I have known Him in a personal way - Jesus embraced me and came into my heart.

VII

So, what exactly did happen on that night, December 16, 1971? It was my moment of faith. As I said He is the Hound of Heaven. He is after, really, everyone, no doubt. In Revelation He says, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” [Rev. 3.20] There are many ways to describe how He approaches each and every one. But He does. He can be subtle. Or He can pound on the door. But the situation always requires us to do something - an act of faith. The words that I used, “Jesus Christ, if You are the Son of God, I give You the opportunity to prove it to me right now”, was my personal act of faith. I really have no idea where those words came from. Maybe He gave them to me, but I had to voice them. I had to take action. And I did and He did.
Once I opened my heart, He provided the proof of His existence. That’s the key. You must open your heart, even a just crack. The assurance will come. For me, it was immediate. For others it may take time. Probably, no two experiences are alike. I have had any number of people say to me that they “tried” exactly what I did, saying what I said, and it “didn’t work”. I’m not shocked by that. My experience is mine and yours is yours. But He is the same and when the door of your heart is open, He will come in. And, either at that moment, or another moment that He chooses, you will know Him.
So where do I go from there? It’s been a long time, 45 years. Well, I’m not writing an autobiography. But I have a few more thoughts, so there will be a Part VIII.

Our Apostleship.....

So, history has done this. When Abraham saw the sand particles and the stars he definitely believed for a son, now, to kick it all off. How much he understood the stars thing? How much we do? Certainly spiritually I take it to mean sons by rebirth, or heavenly birth, totally out of the realm of blood connection. By the time Jesus came the Jews had forgotten the stars bit. They were so for the here and now, that many were the liberators attempting to wrest Israel out of the control of.Rome and Peter was still hardwired for this, just before Jesus was taken up to heaven. He asked ,"when shall dominion be returned to Israel?"
The Roman Church began with earthly dominion in mind and through the order of Malta, the knights of the Templars, the real meaning of the Crown, the American security forces which are all Catholic, the logo above 10 Downing Street, the European Commission itself, began and tabled by a Jesuit in 1947......to this day Catholicism is, in its own mind, about the dominion of Jesus Christ over the globe. At the top layers, the true meanings of.IHS logo on everything is understood as the solar cult.
Protestantism became.somehow a political resistance force. But true evangelicalism eschewed politics completely except for things concerning justice like.slavery, or social.welfare like Methodists and Salvation army.

Like a computer game.....you can't finish a level until you have done all the tasks.

Over the last month some of you know I have launched a twin salvo against Lance Wallnau's 7 mountains of influence, because it is purely a reaction to the Freemasons clever plan but in reverse. We don't preach mountains of influence we preach Christ crucified and taking up the Cross to experience Galatians 2.20 consciousness NOW and out of the spontaneous life flow in our hearts, we trust the Keeper of the Testaments within,Jesus, to provide the fulfilling of His Word in real time. But my other salvo has been at the Union Crowd. Now most of you have never heard of the Union crowd, so for you they are an irrelevance anyway. But for discovering the secret of how Christianity really works to bring everyone to Fatherhood level in Christ 1 John 2, I would tend to agree. But they are paralysed by their American millennium belief system which has been largely orchestrated by Jesuits to paralyze the independent churches. Please understand I am not saying Jesus isn't coming again nor that there isn't a millennium, but instead of a tool and leverage for launching you, Satan has crept in to shut you all down. In the Old Testament various "good things of God" from Rhema or" Now" obedience lessons.....were later used as idols. Gideon's ephod. The golden snake raised in the wilderness.
Like a computer game.....you can't finish a level until you have done all the tasks.
Jesus is to sit at the right hand of God until His enemies are made His footstool. He as the Head is given with full authority over all things To the Church. My role apostolically is to share that with you and continue the work of Ern Baxter and Bob Mumford, but to clarify that the first Ishmael generation did not adequately hear God, so like Catholics to this day, and indeed all.world visionary groups.....Talmudic Jews.....Islamic jihadists......they began putting into motion their pyramid plans, this time with their apostles as the Head pulling the strings of the churches. This is NOT the nature of our apostleship.
We instead attempt something altogether more fun, more unbelievable and more supernatural. We teach Christ the Head to every believer according to the Jeremiah 31 , and for each believer as a member of His Body to do what Christ is doing by them. We teach the Church initially in meetings, but then as they mature,outside, to function in the Melchisedek Order according to the mystery of Christ in us the hope of glory. What Protestants taught as a bit of a nebulous concept, that we are indeed ALL PRIESTS AND KINGS.....We teach and show in the Holy Spirit. If Christ the Head is not operating His Body, we don't rally the troops, we adopt the Psalm 123 position of a servant glued to the eyes and hand of the Master. We don't do anything He is not doing. But instead of practicing this ourselves as ministries, as we always have, we teach and instruct the Body in this protocol.
For 40 years the Levites had learned to function one way in their desert training. They raised the Ark to their shoulders and walked six paces then, rested and sacrificed.
But when all the people came to Jericho this time everything was different. This time they walked round silently FIRST....They were in rest first.
This time the "work of shouting and walking" happened in the seventh time.round.
The "work", the believing, the obedience is by now inextricably mingled.....who really knows.which bit where. So it is with the Galatians 2.20 walk. I do not pull strings as a leader lording it over the Body as is the manner of the gentiles, instead I preach Christ the Head, and if Jesus is who He says He is, and He is, then the Body are individually connected to Him, and connected to each other by the Spirit. The Spirit is like the wind which blows this way and that. Those that follow the Spirit these are the sons of God. This is the victory.....even our faith. Our faith that Jesus is God come in the flesh, and now by the Spirit God is coming in my flesh, our flesh. It's not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord. If I don't write these things with the apostolic authority given me, then no matter, the Head has already written all these things down in His Word for some other to find and preach, or other person to sovereignly raise up and instruct as God did with Saul of Tarsus. I do not preach myself.....I preach your hope of glory.....Jesus Christ.

...........pulling the strings of the churches.

This is NOT the nature of our apostleship.

We instead attempt something altogether more fun, more unbelievable and more supernatural. We teach Christ the Head to every believer according to Jeremiah 31 , and for each believer as a member of His Body to do what Christ is doing by them.

I will give you treasures of Darkness.....like John Ramirez
