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 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 given through His first fruit company, they that have inner spiritual insight through Christ Jesus. The revelation of Jesus Christ uncovers Christ’s mind within us, we have walked in 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 so many are holding to, that darkness of this passing day.

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 coming from spiritual Mount Zion, messages are sounding for those with hear and eyes to see. All the governments of men 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 is unfolding a complete work of total salvation within sons He is sealing, yes “saved 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? Have certain untrue ideas taken root in our soul and now need uprooted from us? Do we still give way for hating our perceived enemies, does any dark thing 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 thinking that differs from the truth, to know and 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, on 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 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 of God’s people on earth today. Christians have mixed up ideas with literal interpretations about the worldly nations, methods to sell every sleight of men, form viewpoints of that are become counterfeit, apostate to the truth of Christ. Many of the religious men operating in Christian heavens doing good, they are being honored and followed which makes them responsible to present true messages. Sons do not distribute confused beliefs nor practices yet do admonish us all to fully receive the baptism and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Church age ministers have made 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, those who spend their earthly life in church have been divided into countless places in God’s house, some are carnal sects, all these still are enjoying a measure of the blessings of the presence of the Lord. For church heavens are indeed an in-part measure, only the third heaven 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 completely regenerated within our being by the Spirit of God. The redeemed of the Lord that are delivered out from every generation are now our kinsmen, our brethren, we have relationship with those ranks in the unseen host of true believers. They come from every tongue (false speaking), and nation( natural linage), being now completely transformed to love godly characteristics. We long to be with those who exhibit the fullness of Jesus, the son of God. What deliverance we can expect to be worked into our body, soul, and spirit as God’s Word and Spirit develops within us to function in godly expressions those developed by God’s power, a two-edged sword penetrating between our soul and spirit, to reveal the truth about what’s alive and what is dead. The sword of God’s Word is able to judge when we are esteemed ready to depart from man’s soulish sentiments and find God’s spiritual thoughts. Christ does reveal the path of truth by His Spirit to instruct each of us that are made accountable.

The ability to distinguish, to discern, to judge every man’s message presented in worship meetings reveal what is needed among us. I love to listen for deep revealing thoughts that are true revelation from our Father’s heart among our corporate gathering. I love it when messages from the throne realm can be written on the hearts of God’s people. The mind of Christ reveals deep truths among those devoted to gathering unto the Lord, the gathering will continue until all we Christian’s stand in a general convocation in the up hither realm of God’s throne. God’s sons gain divine wisdom and strength to apply every truth correctly just as the time is revealed. The Spirit of truth is coming to the body of Christ with spiritual guidance that grants each of us clarity that informs each of us as to fitting into new day ministry.

Christian ministers not having mercy will be proven to be hypocrites. Lacking discernment God’s people have been captured in soulish delusions. Many preachers have swelling persuasive speeches and can form ideas from the Bible do so for recognition or a paycheck within certain church realms. The truth of ultimate reconciliation of all is a questionable point among most church ministers, they fear losing their following and financial support. Some 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 candlestick churches, however, are clothed with white robes, and are instructed to wait, we have been waiting for Jesus to be unveiled in clouds (of witnesses) coming with a Word that fully circumcises the human heart. His judgement will honor the contrite of spirit and will lift 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 us to mirror His perfect Image. His truth continually sets us free from earthly minded bondage to know the ways He is coming by Spirit. His Spirit teaches us, He feeds us new manna and wine that is guiding us to our rightful place with those who are being gathered as His sons and daughters standing with Him on Zion’s Holy Mount.
