Christian saints yearn for peace, victory, and the growth provided by following the spirit of Christ. Saints no longer know God by external rules, church regulations, Old Testament laws, or commandments. Saints are free from the teaching of religious men that impose outward standards of righteousness. The hope of every saint of God is the full ability to be loving, happy and peaceful in present and future circumstances. The kind of thought seeds that God sows into our conscious mind will determine the kind of person we become in attitude, deposition, and spirit. God’s Word grows the fruit God intends within our heart.
Unity produced among His people tastes sweet not bitter. God is the master husbandman. His great skillful effort prunes our excess growth in order to awaken our spirit to Him. We know our spirit is focused on the thing’s God’s spirit has presented to our inner person. God’s ideas about God’s Word have causing us to stay awake nights fighting with the darkness of man's natural mindsets. Christ teaches us until we learn the path to victory in the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS. He has quickened our spirit so that Christ becomes the greatest thing about us. Our Father carefully cultivates and nourishes every seed He plants; it is to grow within our being to be found in the exact measure required for Our Heavenly Father’s planned Kingdom, so we each fit in proper place within His people as conquering solders going home!
Our Father is FATHERING a divine nature in our spirit; so, WE are now His sons and daughters. This nature gives no place to fleshly thoughts of selfish malicious jealousy or murderous slander as Cain when he killed his brother Abel. Sons do not hate their brethren nor sell their heavenly birth right for something less like Esau’s bowl of pottage. Christ teaches us daily, His fruit within our spirit conquers human fears and frustrations. The Spirit teaches us of self-control, so our bodily practices do not promote disease, but rather health and freedom from death’s process. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, death has decreasing rule over our spiritual, mental, and physical being. It is God's light shining within that directs us to stop worrying, to stop focusing about the lack and rather trust in His Word. What is true of Jesus can be true for us also. Problems do arise; these are exacting times, so we remain at rest and assured in His supply as the proof of His dwelling within us.
Thank God you have received truth in your inner man, you hunger for the truth, His Word, it is being nourished, cultivated, and will be growing to fuller stature in Christ Jesus. Christians should be free from religious efforts and legalistic rules, free from receiving or giving condemnation, free from the consciousness of sin:
"…for the strength of sin is the law…" I Corinthians 15:56
“The law made nothing perfect.” Hebrews 7:19
“For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit...” Romans 8:3-4
"Yet, you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that God's spirit is making its home in you." Romans 8:9 concordant
Teachings from New Testament scripture does bring us to elementary levels of Christianity. It’s only a thirty-fold rank of believing that holds guidelines and set standards that most Christians presently hold in form. Conformed heavens so sure that they know what’s right they divide over leadership in this or that doctrine. Entire heavens are flocks that have remained babes in Christ, needing someone else to feed and take care of their spiritual needs. Now even the milk of the word has been adulterated by the thinking of traditional leaders, hireling's that hinder substantial growth in the Christian faith. Adulterated teachings do not bring us to a full stature in the Lord. Only following the teachings of the Holy Spirit guide us to mature sonship in a lasting order. What does God want of you? WHAT HE SAYS YOU ARE, YOU ARE. It’s very simple.
Pentecostal heavens are the sixty-fold rank of church that benefit from having faith in the baptism experience of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit guides us to the heavens where Christ is tabernacling within us, dwelling within us, this is the third great heavenly rank in God. God would have us grow until we gain strength in our inner man to ascend to our own spiritual connection with those placed on spiritual Mt. Zion.
True kingdom ministry has the power to penetrate every human condition and weakness by planting God’s Word in the hearts of His people everywhere. Those who have ears to hear what God’s Spirit is saying to the candlestick church heavens have opportunity to become true saints. The Lord is coming in an order that sets our spirit free from religious expectations and the bondages of traditional worship.
Sons are freed from false concepts, rather spiritually enlightened so to speak, if we really know God dwelling in our spirit. Then we have fellowship with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ, they show us how we too can love and be empowered with the glorious life that raised Jesus from the dead. God is now dwelling within the followers of Jesus in a new day, the third heaven, a New Testament spiritual reality of the Old Testament Feast of Tabernacles.
To see the Lord redeeming us is to watch the truth being raised within us to face the death of our own carnal mind. Carnal minded men foster fleshly strength by threatening violence, malice toward others, fear and torment even among brethren. Carnal (divisive) interpretations of the Bible have fostered strife and ungodliness that has kept Christians a divided religious people busy with constant good works. Sons and daughters of God have escaped the religious programs of candlestick Christian heavens on earth today. The present church heavens with all their regulations, commandments, standards of sacrament, and so-called disciplines are utterly unable to lose our soul perfectly from the darkened malice of carnality. It is only when Christ appears to put that cold, sterile, reflective "light of the moon" of religious efforts under our feet that WE STOP TRYING TO DO THE WILL OF GOD IN OUR OWN STRENGTH. Our standing in new lasting heavens for us is "putting on" the Lord Jesus Christ, that is to be CLOTHED IN SONSHIP. GOD'S SONS are now CLOTHED with GARMENTS OF RIGHTOUSNESS, THE LIGHT shines BRIGHTER than that of the natural sun. Our own spirit is clothed with that light source making us understand we are naked no more:
"This, also, do, being aware of the era, that it is already the hour for us to be roused out of sleep, for now is our salvation nearer than when we believe. The night progresses, yet the day is near. We, then, should be putting off the acts of darkness, yet should be putting on the implements of light. As in the day, respectably, should we be walking, not in revelries and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and be making no provision for the lusts of the flesh." Romans 13:11-14 concordant
Each age and season in God has its own order. There was an order of God for the patriarchs, another order of God for Israel under Moses, a different order of God for Israel under Joshua, a further order of God for Israel under the judges, and another order of God for Israel under the kings. Each was God’s order, His divine plan, so has the rule of God over His Christian people taken different forms for two thousand years. This two-thousand-year history of Christian faith is revealed in detail in Revelation chapter 2&3.
Through it all, there is divine order of God being carved out of the candlestick church realms to form a new heaven formed by saints who become servants of a future feast, a great supper has been prepared by God. His Son, through marriage, has promise us Christians, all Christians unity and a joining with His people—as being His Bride. Yes, only true believers are invited to witness this union at first. They all are submitted in heart to the house rules established by the Bridegroom’s Father:
"And the same One gives these, indeed, as apostles, yet these as prophets, yet these as evangelists, yet these as pastors and teachers, toward the adjusting of the saints for the work of dispensing, for the up building of the body of Christ, unto the end that we should all attain to the unity of the faith and of the realization of the son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the complement of the Christ (completed Christ), that we may by no means still be minors, surging hither and thither and being carried about by every wind of teaching of human caprice, by craftiness with a view to the systematizing of the deception.
Now, being true, in love we should be making all grow into Him, Who is the Head — Christ — out of Whom the entire body, being articulated together and united through every assimilation of the supply, in accord with the operation in measure of each one's part, is making for the growth of the body, for the upbuilding of itself in love." Ephesians 4:11-16 concordant
This is great instruction, yet nearly all church organizations operate and function under man-controlled hierarchies that deceptively bear little resemblance to the truth Word of God. What the world calls the church is in God's eyes SYSTEMIZED DECEPTION as a type of "Babylonian covering" mixed into a form of worship recognized in all the seven candlestick church eras. The church heavens that originated from the Ephesus candlestick which left their first love to lose their spiritual place, as the Lord moved that church, “the church” to a lower place than where it started:
"To the messenger of the ecclesia in Ephesus write: Now this He is saying Who is holding the seven stars in His right hand, Who is walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands; ...I have against you that you leave your first love. Remember, then, whence you are fallen, and repent, and do the former acts. Yet if not, I am coming to you, and shall be moving your lampstand out of its place, if ever you should not be repenting." Revelation 2:1,5 concordant
Men have been teaching carnal concepts since that church moved out of its spiritual place and lowered into the understanding of the Nicolaitans (priesthood over the laity). They were taught to hold to Balaam (preachers for hire) which created Jezebel systems that have deceived all of the candlestick churches. This deception is causing followers of Christ to love a lesser glory and to pay respect to men's honor rather than following fully the leading of Christ’s Spirit from within.
The Ephesus church left loving the Lord first and received instead the leading of corrupt men, resulting in its lampstand being moved out, down, fallen from its original place. Christ is not divided, yet division has arisen among His people to cause split after split in these church heavens. Today’s accepted forms of Christian worship are traditional yet uninspired worship. The lofty position that was within the original early church, once so beautiful and wonderful, was lost never to be regained. Its spiritual place is lost, even through great reformation.
Nevertheless, amongst all the confusion, Jesus has been in the midst of the seven candlestick churches, governing in the in-part measures to draw people to the wonderful state of incorruption. He comes to be revealed in God's sons and daughters; they are caught up into the spirit of God's Kingdom. Kingdom order is the lasting government that is coming increasingly into focus in our inner being, making us one spirit with the spirit of the Lord. My, what a different order this is!
"And, a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon underneath her feet, and on her head a wreath of twelve stars. And, being pregnant, she is crying, travailing and tormented to be bringing forth." Revelation 12:1-2 concordant
"And she brought forth a son, a male, who is about to be shepherding all the nations with an iron club." Revelation 12:6 concordant
John beheld with spiritual eyes a woman as the people of surpassing glory within the candlestick people, with the light of the moon under her feet, crowned with twelve stars, who agree (see eye to eye) on the teachings of the apostles of Christ. This is a people formed being a bride, receiving only the seed (word) of the Lord, undefiled from the likes of the Jezebel systems. The bride is spiritually built into the house of Jesus Christ, that bringing forth of a truly a more excellent ministry. This New Jerusalem order is coming to prepared Christians that can fellowship the Father and all the brethren of His beloved Son, the manchild company that is caught up to be enthroned with the bridegroom. This promise was included in our union with Christ—a marriage of spirit to the New Jerusalem order wherein He sends of Himself to our spirit, so that we may become one spirit.
It is an unfathomable mystery how the divine quality of God uses words to spark overcoming qualities in people. God’s words causing them to leave polluted fields of religious or worldly fellowship in the fallen systems holding to yesterday’s traditions. We are birthed to new stature in Christ, birthed into the third day growth so as to become sons and daughters of God destined to rule the nations. This Divine pattern is used by Paul:
“Thus we also, when we were minors, were enslaved under the elements of the world. Now when the full time came, God delegates His Son, come of a woman, come under law, that He should be reclaiming those under law, that we may be getting the place of a son. Now, seeing that you are sons, God delegates the spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying , ‘Abba! Father!’ So that you are not longer a slave, but a son.” Galatians 4:4-7 concordant
Almost two millenniums ago, God manifested Jesus as His first beloved Son. He is the firstborn of many brethren, ALL are the sons of God. Jesus was birthed by a woman; He had a mother. The First Son of God was born into this world "made of a woman" and made under the law. He was the Word in the beginning with the Father which came as heavenly seed to be born of a woman. The spiritual mother of all Christians is the New Jerusalem order which brings forth His Word to God’s beloved sons and daughters.
Women in some deep and mysterious way are able to conceive the seed planted within them to bring forth a new life to hold and handle, creating a new person. So it is with God’s seed planted in his people. They are in a vast array of maturity from overcomers to babes in Christ, holding to the word of truth.
Truth plants life in our spirit like a garden bed. Those seeds of truth, given space, will grow to produce a son that transcends by far anything the fallen church has ever produced. Something great has been gathered before us as the invisible, unknowable, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent God of the universe sees fit to manifest Life in His sons.
Certainly His virgin people are called out of the apostate systems. These “called out" are coming out of the low places to which the candlestick churches have fallen, where falsehoods have been working to rule for two thousand years. His virgin people are called “up hither” into the spiritual holy of holies where the ark (Jesus) tabernacles with hidden manna.
Jesus is a measuring rod making a blessed priesthood with a supply of the law of Life in Christ Jesus. Seeing this order brings full salvation into focus. We can begin to see what is promised to His people: a more complete life, a FULL MANIFESTATION of His indwelling Life, that brings a marriage supper environment to His people. This is a “Feast of fat things that are well refined”, having been prepared by our Father Who has given many blessed invitations to this great marriage feast of His Son.
When God formed the body of Adam from the dust of the ground, He made Adam male and female. Adam was both until Eve was taken out of Adam and made a helpmeet in the image and likeness of man. We know everything, including Adam, in the whole vast universe, came out of God. God brought forth Adam, male and female, in His image.
The inspired sacred scripture states clearly that in the beginning there was only God—omnipotent, omniscient, immutable, holy, perfect—Who is the spirit of life, love, and light. Yet because God desired to conceive, He has created the many spirits called His Sons and Daughters. In proper time they are born of a woman, born under the law, like Jesus, to fulfill Our Father’s deepest cravings to bring us all forth to a glorious end that makes us one with the living God:
“Let us make man in our image and after our likeness…..so God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.” Genesis 1:26-27
To understand great mysteries, one must grasp the truth taught of His Spirit, the Christ. The Father has planted a vineyard in the heart of His Christian people. Virgin believers desire to be separated to be joined with ONLY the intended Bridegroom. Thank God we are being freed from all our past neglect and presumptions, to be washed in His blood, to receive His truth in our inner man, to truly be a virgin in our hearts as to what rules over our inner man.
Overcomers have no other loves before Him. It has taken most of a lifetime of divine workings of inner separation from all else. Only the Kingdom of Jesus offers union with God. This spiritual marriage joins us so the Spirit of Love may abound within us to separate us from all other entanglements. The Spirit of Love reveals the deceptions of our own thinking and all the influences that entangle us with deceptive religious ways by taking up the world's way of thinking. We Christians know what it is to be conformed to the course of THIS WORLD. Now Christ makes us know what needs to be conformed in our mind’s image of Christ, to serve Him daily without being entangled in any defiling corruption.
The custom of MARRIAGE in Israel included the groom coming with his friends to take the bride back to his home on the appointed day, followed by a seven-day wedding feast. They often celebrated these feasts by gathering twice a day during those seven days. This feasting was part of the marriage that Jesus attended in Cana of Galilee when He turned water into wine. This is also the scene in the book of Revelation of the “marriage of the Lamb” where He gives to the thirsty the fountain of the water of life freely.
Today, as His word is spoken, it feeds us the hidden manna of the “marriage supper” or "marriage feast of the Lamb”. This feeding causes GREAT CHANGE within the order of our inner life. A new Feast is taking place in Christian people, as God is TABERNACLING WITHIN US! Within His people, our Father brushes away every tear, releasing us from the sorrow and mourning of death, all the clamor and misery of it. God tabernacles within His people: “Behold the tabernacle of God is with mankind,” with perfect harmony and unity of spirit. It is the promise of God for those who are espoused to Him:
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints. And he says unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb…” Revelation 19:7-9
Christian men arrayed in gospel work must be careful not to waste time and effort doing more religious church work. Sons are looking up, not back! Leading men of the church age keep us looking back, teaching that we should become involved in their program to reform this or that. If we don’t join in their great outreach, they say we will fail to become associated with Christ in heaven.
These men have great clout, they are connected to the money, the organization, the network that builds to impact the world and the noted among its leaders. But that is not what is in the heart of a virgin. The virgin of Nazareth has a heart that says, “HOW SHALL THIS BE, SEEING I KNOW NOT A MAN?” The answer placed in our heart is the same answer the angel gave to the virgin at Nazareth:
“The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the son of God!” Luke 1:35
Today God’s overcoming sons and daughters are born, grown, and following the Lamb while the people of the world are busy diligently searching for the right men to govern their countries and the church world is looking for the right minister to run their church. Many of those church people are running “to and fro” looking for the right minister to feed their hungry souls.
All this time, Christ within has given sons and daughters revelations of His word and spirit with messages containing everlasting good news. These are voicing freedom and unity that will finally be claimed by sons coming from His virgin church. It is a “wonder in heaven”, the union of vast numbers of true sons and daughters caught up to properly worship in this great marriage feast experience.
It is always painful to grow into a new order of God: ask Moses, ask Joshua, ask David, ask Jesus, ask the apostles, ask Martin Luther, ask John Knox and George Fox. Yet the marriage supper of the Lamb will feed ALL of us Christians a change that removes ALL THE LACK AND PAIN OF OUR DEATH. Our Father has initiated a new move that is destined to change everything in heaven and on earth, showing the SUFFICIENCY OF CHRIST to perfect us.
Jesus instructed His disciples two thousand years ago not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait there until they should receive the promise of the Father and be endued with power from on High. Likewise, the word of God today instructs everyone to wait until Christ is fully formed within, to a perfectly mature man, to a full grown measure.
Many Christian men have boasted of possessing the complete measure of Christ Jesus, but most everyone has been proven to be false. They are shown to contain hate, or are greedy of gain, not trustworthy in heart.
We too have imagined many things that are false and held hope in fading orders of vain pursuits. We Christians are not ready to represent God to His people or to this earth's leaders because we know a little Greek, understand a few mysteries of John’s visions, get a few letters out over the internet or are invited to speak in church fellowships.
GOD determines who is qualified to speak with authority, choosing those who can arrest soulish thinking and bring love into their hearts. We are able to speak works that enable us to honor our spiritual families, to actually set people free from every corrupting idea. This includes power from God within to free ourselves from false judgments that condemn others with bitter backbiting gossip. We have NO RIGHT to usurp Christ’s reign in others! We are only to deposit a reconciliation message in them.
There is now a blessing coming from God to all those called to the marriage feast of the Lamb. We feed on a spiritual connection to living bread, a substance wherein our spirit can be quickened to GOD LIFE. This is raising us to inner transformation, transforming even our vile bodies to be made like unto His glorious body as we behold the glory of God found in the face of our Lord Jesus Christ.
