These teachings explore spiritual depths of influential texts of scripture,  and of the human condition.

II Corinthians 3: 4-18

"Now such is the confidence we have through Christ toward God (not that we are competent of ourselves, to reckon anything as of ourselves, but our competency is of God), Who also makes us competent dispensers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the spirit, for the letter is killing, yet the spirit is vivifying. Now if the dispensation of death, by letters chiseled in stone, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look intently into the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face, which was being nullified, how shall not rather the dispensation of the spirit be in glory? For if in the dispensation of condemnation is glory, much rather the dispensation of righteousness is exceeding into glory. For that also which has been glorified has not been glorified in this particular, on account of the glory transcendent. For if that which is being nullified was nullified through glory, much rather that which is remaining, remains in glory.

Having, then, such an expectation, we are using much boldness, and are not even as Moses. He placed a covering over his face, so that the sons of Israel were not to look intently to the consummation of that which is being nullified. But their apprehensions were calloused, for until this very day the same covering is remaining at the reading of the old covenant, not being uncovered, for only in Christ is it being nullified. But till today, if ever the reading of Moses should be reached, a covering is lying on their heart. Yet if ever it should reach a turning back to the Lord, the covering is taken from about it.

Now the Lord is the spirit; yet where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Now we all, with uncovered face, mirroring the Lord's glory, are being transformed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the spirit."   II Corinthians 3:4-18 concordant

Followers of Christ Jesus have opportunity to know God closely. Some become bond slaves of Christ who are the ones now moving into what things God has prepared for us as His Spirit directs us as a body. We will be walking together in and under divine spiritual guidance. We claiming to be God’s sons need to be experts at being led by His Spirit! Talking with walking after the inner spiritual guidance of Christ within us will fulfill the desires of God’s wise heart. Now we are walking after the instructions of God’s Spirit, it has been delivered to us through His body. God lets us see, He reveals spiritual truth and how to use vast dimensions of wisdom concerning the unfolding day of the Lord. The deeper trues of new heavens will now fill God’s people. All the Lord’s people must rise to find our God given ability and godly inheritance, each man in his own order. God’s Word for today is being given through His first fruit company, they that have inner spiritual insight through Christ Jesus. The revelation of Jesus Christ uncovers our Father’s mind within us, we have liberty to find new ways of understanding the scripture -that’s what holds the keys of the Kingdom, a unlocking of the true faith in Christ. The revelation of Jesus Christ sets us free from so many deceptive thoughts and vain ways we have had and so many are holding to, that former darkness is a passing state.

Pursuing entrance into a GLORIOUS LIBERTY RESERVED FOR GOD’S SONS requires each of us to qualify for citizenship in New Jerusalem’s heavenly host. Our lasting residence is with the hosts found within the boundaries of righteousness, peace, and joy in God’s Holy Spirit. Truth is in spiritual Mount Zion, messages are sounding for those that can hear what the Spirit has to say about the church, they are given eyes to see, many eyes are within our own being. The outworking of God’s truth will shake all the governments of men, they are being shaken now and will be shaken yet, some will be replaced as God shakes heaven and earth in this great and terrible day of the Lord. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the pattern of a unfolding complete work of total salvation within sons He draws to Himself. It requires a walk in which God is sealing, yes “saving us to the uttermost”. Being immersed in, or baptized in His Holy Spirit our spirit monitors our soul’s carnal minded thinking, it’s reminding of past failures that torment us in hells created in and of our own ignorant fears and frustrations. Is fear forgotten in the grave? Do certain untrue ideas taken root in our soul and remain with us after physical death? Can darkness be uprooted from us now? Do we still give way for hating our perceived enemies, does any dark thing still have us as it’s prisoner? Thus, we must know for sure that God does have plans for our future!

It becomes important to distinguish between our own thinking that differs from the truth, to see and know, yes recognize the false ideas which oppose God’s ideas within us. A serpent may look like a stick, and a stone may look like an egg but they are far from being the same things. In spiritual matters, DISCERNMENT in understanding scripture properly, in spiritual matters is necessary for right judgement. Righteousness brings peace to our being and wrongdoing brings trouble to our being, there is an order that knows the power of Christ working within our midst conquering in every troubling storm life on earth brings.

Fake imitations of jewels can be made. Zircons look wonderfully like real diamonds in appearance, so natural, carnal, earthly minded understandings of the book of Revelation has presently confused most Christian people on earth today. Christians have been divided by mixed up carnal ideas promoting literal interpretations about worldly events of the nations. Methods that sell every sleight of men, have formed viewpoints of God’s intensions that are counterfeit, apostate to the truth of Christ Jesus. Religious men operating in Christian heavens are doing good, they are being honored and creating followings which makes them responsible for this present state. True messages are distributed by sons that are not from confused orders, our beliefs and practices yet do admonish us all to fully receive the baptism and guidance of the Holy Spirit while church age ministers make much pious verbal affection and show in loving service, but are still quite DIVIDED IN STRIFE over who leads amongst us. We have one “head” for carnal disputes among God’s people, yet many who spend their earthly life in church heavens have been divided on countless points about God’s house. Even carnal sects have been able to enjoy a measure of the blessings of the presence of the Lord in passing church heavens. Church heavens are indeed in-part heavens, the full measure is only found in the third heaven, only the up hither realm of the throne brings us to fullness of glory and a complete measure of God’s glorious liberty.

A FULL MEASURE NOW EMANATES OUT OF JESUS, we that follow Him are destined to be completely like Him, redeemed from earthly lies and ties, we are now being completely regenerated within our being by the Spirit of God. The redeemed of the Lord are saying they are delivered out from every kinship and have relationship with those in the ranks of spiritual Mt. Zion, there is a great unseen host of true believers. They come from every generation, out of every tongue (false speaking), and nation( natural linage), being completely transformed to love godly characteristics. We long to be with those who exhibit the fullness of Christ Jesus, the son of God. What further deliverance we can expect to be worked into our body, soul, and spirit as God’s Word and Spirit develops His truth within our being, we can function in godly expressions among those developed by God’s delivering power. His truth is a two-edged sword penetrating between our soul and spirit, it reveals the truth about what’s alive and what is dead. The sword of God’s Word is able to judge us when we are esteemed ready to depart from man’s soulish sentiments and find the spiritual thoughts given by Christ within us. The Spirit of life in Christ Jesus does daily reveal the path of truth. He does it by His Spirit so as to instruct each of us how to be made accountable to Him.

The ability to distinguish, to discern, to judge every man’s message presented in worship services and fellowship meetings reveal that much is still needed among us. I love to listen for deep revealing thoughts that are presented from our Father’s heart among our corporate gatherings. I love it when messages from the throne realm flow among us that write on the hearts of God’s people about new heavens that will be remaining. Deep truths can be revealed among those devoted to gathering unto the Lord in spiritual Mt. Zion. The gathering will continue until all Christian’s stand in a general convocation in the up hither realm of God’s throne. God’s sons have gained much divine wisdom and strength to apply every truth wisely, correctly, just as the time is come. The Spirit of truth has been received by sons that have come out of the candlestick church heavens. It is the “coming of the Lord” to the body of Christ so that spiritual guidance grant each of us clarity that informs each of us as how to fit into a new day corporate ministry. Each of us will have to lay down our life to participate.

The truth of ultimate reconciliation of all is a questionable point among most Christian ministers, most have not received new insight therefore many Christian people lacking discernment and have been captured in soulish delusions. Many preachers having swelling persuasive speeches but form false ideas from the Bible into people’s mind and do so for recognition or to maintain a paycheck within their certain church realms. Their foremost fear is losing their following and financial support. So many of these hireling's are busy threatening people with dark lasting hells and torment. They are harder to change than business people or prostitutes with common sense!

Overcomers of the Christian heavens described as candlestick churches in the Revelation, however, are clothed with white robes of truth, and being instructed to wait, are waiting for Jesus to be unveiled in the clouds (of witnesses) He has gathered to Himself, it is “the coming” that fully circumcises the human heart. Divine judgement honors the contrite of spirit and lifts those who humbly partake of the portions promised to sons and daughter of God. Our appointment with death can be nullified by the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. God’s intention is for all of us Christians to mirror His perfect Image. Jesus is the truth, not Jesus as a baby in a cradle, but Jesus as the glorified King of heaven and earth is to be continually set forth from within our being. Freed from earthly minded bondage we should know know the ways He is coming by Spirit. His Holy Spirit is given to teach us, feeding us new manna and new wine that will be guiding us to our rightful place with Him on Zion’s Holy Mount, a standing with understanding among those being gathered “up hither" as sons and daughters of God Almighty.
