To all those who are truly seeking first the Kingdom - those who love God with all of their heart:
ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO THE CHURCH AND THE KINGDOM MUST [AND WILL] BE DONE BY "REVELATION"
I have heard the word "Do not despise small beginnings" many times [both personally and through others] over the years. A simple analogy would be the "mustard seed" which starts out so very small:
...."And
He [Jesus] said, "How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what
parable shall we present it? "It is like a mustard seed, which, when
sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are
upon the soil, yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than
all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that the birds of the
air can nest under its shade".... Mark 4:30-32 NASB
In other words, what starts out "small" in the Kingdom will [through the continual nurturing {watering, exercising} of faith and love towards God and man], ultimately, produce superabundant fruit in that one's life and ministry - with great and far-reaching effects. We [those who truly love God] are all being perfectly prepared for something [a Glorious Church] that does not yet exist fully in the physical realm [only in "pattern" or "glimpses" of the fullness of what will take place]
- and, so, it is of the utmost importance that one just simply moves
forward daily from "faith to faith" and obedience to obedience [revelation to revelation] "knowing" [having a deep revelation of the fact] that things will begin to "unfold" [according to the Father's perfect timing - and highest purpose in one's life and ministry] - then, ultimately, manifest "fully in the physical realm.
I received a word from Him once many years ago, and it was:
"I" must unfold ALL things"!
The
Father was talking to me at the time about the establishment of the
Glorious Church and His Kingdom in the final hour - and He was VERY
serious. ALL things pertaining to the Church and the Kingdom must [and will] be done by "revelation" [a revelation of His Will "abiding" in the heart of individual believers] and, THEN, as each one goes forth in obedience to the revelation of the Father's Will in their heart [in the power of the Holy Spirit] a Glorious Church
[and a "supernaturally" run divine government - which is a government
of the Spirit not a government or organization established by man] will
begin to rise up in the earth - a faithful and trustworthy people that
will walk non-stop supernaturally right to the end of the age!
FOR THE GREATEST GLORY OF GOD - AND FOR HIS PEOPLE
...."and
He [Jesus] died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for
themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf".... 2
Corinthians 5:15 NASB
Paul summed up his entire ministry by stating his life's purpose [concerning all things] in his second letter to the church at Corinth [2 Corinthians 4:5-15 paraphrased],
"for the greatest Glory of God - AND for the sake of His people."
and again in the passage below from his letter to the Philippians:
...."For
me to live is Christ [His life in me], and to die is gain [the gain of
the glory of eternity]. If, however, it is to be life in the flesh and I
am to live on here, that means fruitful service for me; so I can say
nothing as to my personal preference [I cannot choose], But I am hard
pressed between the two. My yearning desire is to depart (to be free of
this world, to set forth) and be with Christ, for that is far, far
better; But to remain in my body is more needful and essential for your sake.
Since I am convinced of this, I know that I shall remain and stay by
you all, to promote your progress and joy in believing, So that in me
you may have abundant cause for exultation and glorying in Christ Jesus,
through my coming to you again".... Philippians 1:21-26 The Amplified
Translation
This seeking to glorify God to the greatest degree, as well as bless [empower]
all those who cross our path to the greatest degree possible, must be,
as true sons and daughters, our sole motivation towards both God and
man. In reality, we really do not have any reason to be in this earth
other than to love both God and man with all of our heart - and, in the
process, help set many captives free from the clutches of the Enemy. The
one "burning desire" that every last Christian should have in their
heart is to fulfill [with pin-point accuracy] ALL that they were was created for by the Father, in Christ. To enter into Heaven and have Jesus say upon our arrival,
"Well
done My good and faithful servant! You have accomplished everything
that you were created for from before the foundations of the earth!"
will SURELY be the ultimate, "crowning glory" of one's life.
It is certain that we, as children of the Most High God, are
the most blessed people on the planet and, "to whom much is given much
is required" [Luke 12:48] - so it is of the utmost importance in this hour for us to simply carry on in a steadfast faith [patience]
and love - KNOWING that the Father will be faithful to bring all things
to pass in our lives according to His highest purpose in any given
moment. Again, "pin-point accuracy" on EVERY front [both individually and corporately] is
what is required of the Church in this final hour - and, therefore, if
we truly desire to see the "fullness" of the Father's purpose
accomplished in this hour we MUST be found abiding [dwelling] in a "revelation" of His Will.
GOD
IS RAISING UP A REMNANT THAT WILL NOT FAIL TO ACCOMPLISH THE FULLNESS
OF HIS WILL IN ANY GIVEN AREA - INCLUDING THE HANDLING OF
KINGDOM-FINANCES
...."In the wilderness He
fed you manna which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you
and that He might test you, to do good for you in the end. Otherwise,
you may say in your heart, 'My power and the strength of my hand made me
this wealth.' But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He
who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant
which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. It shall come about
if you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve
them and worship them, I testify against you today that you will surely
perish".... Deuteronomy 8:16-19 NASB
This is a scripture that that speaks not only very clearly of the ultimate purpose for Kingdom-finances [that the Covenant in its fullness might be established in the hearts of men and women] but
also making sure that one maintains the right motivation so as not to
slip into the love of money or idolatry. This is one reason the
preparation has been so intense for those who are called in this last
hour. God is raising up a remnant that will not fail to accomplish the
fullness of His Will in any given area - including the handling of
Kingdom-finances.
When one supports a "ministry" [spiritually and financially]there is a special impartation to them of the "mantle of Grace" that is on that particular ministry [of
course, I am talking about "true" ministry - although it also works in
the "negative" in the sense that darkness, a self-exaltive spirit
{pride} and fear will be imparted by those ministries or fellowships who
are not totally empowered by the Holy Spirit] and, as the
incorruptible seed of God's Word enters into that one's heart it is
expanded to them by the Holy Spirit in their own time with the Lord in
precisely the manner that is needed for them to fulfill their own
ministry [destiny] in Christ.
WAIT THERE UNTIL YOU ARE CLOTHED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH
...."And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.
And He [Jesus] led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His
hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He parted from them
and was carried up into heaven. And they, after worshiping Him, returned
to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple
praising God".... Luke 24:49-53 NASB
...."But God, being
rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even
when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with
Christ [by grace you have been saved], and raised us up with Him, and
seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus".... Ephesians
2:4-6 NASB
...."But realize this, that in the last
days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers
of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents,
ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without
self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power;
Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into
households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by
various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth".... 2 Timothy 3:1-7 NASB
One of the very first commands given to the apostles after the Church was born was [paraphrase] "Go into the city and WAIT there UNTIL you are clothed with power from on high". The church at large is in the "disarray" [disorder, disharmony, strife and division. powerlessness etc.] that it is in because they neither "waited" [from the place of an active faith and obedience] for a "revelation" of the God's Will nor did they position themselves properly before Him [in His Presence on a daily basis] to be "clothed with power from on high".
How blessed [greatly empowered] are those who have [in continually laying their lives down to seek after nothing but the Father's Will] positioned
themselves perfectly to receive the fullness of the superabundant
Covenant blessings that will now begin to overtake every faithful heart -
with a view to them both entering into and fulfilling the fullness of
their precious Kingdom-destiny, in Christ, in this final hour!
WORDS ARE ALWAYS JUDGED [TO BE DISCERNED] BY THE "SPIRIT" BEHIND THEM
...."But
they [the Pharisees] do all their deeds to be noticed by men.... They
love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the
synagogues".... Matthew 23:5-6 NASB
Words are always judged [in the sight of God]by
the "spirit" behind them - and, thus, if one is righteously motivated
then when they are led to share what the Holy Spirit has placed on their
heart it is ALWAYS in [divine] order. Jesus was warning in the passage above not to be like those [in this case the Pharisees]who were doing and saying things just to be "seen" [honored] by others.
Speaking [proclaiming] the Word [words] accurately [and, of course, with the right motivation]is extremely important - and it is one of the tremendous benefits of being separated unto the Father and His Word [Jesus] in the "inner chamber" [John 14:21,23]. For as one fills their heart to overflowing with the Word of God [on a daily basis] THEN the Holy Spirit [Who
is the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, the Spirit
of Grace, the Spirit of Faith, the Spirit of Obedience etc.] is able to quicken one to what verse or what words need to be spoken in ANY given moment with "pin-point accuracy" [as far as the exercising of an absolute faith and perfect love goes].
Jesus, of course, walked in pin-point accuracy in ALL things pertaining
to the Will of the Father - and so will the Glorious Church before we
leave here.
THE POWER TO CHANGE ENVIRONMENTS
...."Christ
also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might
sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no
spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and
blameless".... Ephesians 5:25-27 NASB
...."Behold, I
have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over
all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you".... Luke 10:19 NASB
...."In the way of righteousness is life [resurrection power], and in its pathway there is no death [no death can remain standing]".... Proverbs 12:28 NASB
One of the chief tasks of the Glorious Church [both individually and corporately] is to "change" environments [spiritual atmospheres]wherever they are sent through the Kingdom forces [Faith, Love, Righteousness, Truth, Wisdom etc.] abiding in their heart - forces that are the spontaneous fruit of the "revelation" of God's Word [Will]deep within them. Because of these things, it is not hard to see that multitudes will enter into the true Christian life [and, therefore, the Kingdom]when the strongholds that had held them in bondage for so long are absolutely devastated [demolished] by the power of God abiding within those who are truly His.
Therefore, let us be found abiding in the secret place of God's
Presence in this hour that we might know EXACTLY what to do in any
given moment and, in carrying out with pin-point accuracy the
instructions of the still, small, voice of the Holy Spirit deep within
us, be found walking in the "fullness" of the authority that is ours, in
Christ.
*****
NUGGETS FROM THE INNER CHAMBER
* Walking by faith and walking by revelation are one and the same thing!
...."for we walk by faith [love, revelation, obedience], not by sight".... 2 Corinthians 5:7 NASB
* The Father has called His children to "stewardship" not "ownership". For The one who has "possession"[ownership] is the one that has "full" control!
It is certain that if "flesh and blood" asked one if a certain
thing "belonged to them" that they would have to answer "yes". BUT if
the Father asked them who it belonged to then what would their answer
be?
...."Let a man regard us in this manner, as
servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God".... 1
Corinthians 4:1 NASB
* A vegetable or a
flower growing in a garden is a "miraculous" harvest from the seed sown.
How much more "miraculous" then is the harvest of the seeds sown in Love?
...."He
presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is
like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this
is smaller than all [other] seeds, but when it is full grown, it is
larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF
THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES".... Matthew 13:31-32 NASB
* The
"force of wisdom" draws financial wealth and indeed all manner of the
"true" prosperity towards WHOSOEVER shall continually release that force
within them through a perfect obedience!
...."Her gain and her harlot's wages will be set apart to the LORD; it
will not be stored up or hoarded, but her gain will become sufficient
food and choice attire for those who dwell in the presence of the
LORD".... Isaiah 23:18 NASB
...."But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who
is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant
which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day".... Deuteronomy 8:18 NASB
* "Self-justification" has nothing to do with Love!
...."Love [God's love in us] does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking".... 1 Corinthians 13:5 The Amplified Translation
* In the past two thousand years, we have seen certain individuals and even small remnants [groups] of
God's people abide in a perfect obedience and we have seen the impact
of their lives upon both the church and the "world". But it is certain
that compared to what we are about to see these lives - as glorious as
they were - are just a "glimpse" compared to the "soon manifestation" of
the Glorious Church through which the entire earth shall be filled with
the glory of God - a remnant of God's people through whom the "former
and the latter rain" shall be poured out as a "flood".
There is no possible way for any one of us to fully comprehend
at this time the "magnitude" of the "impact" that this outpouring shall
have in one way or another on "every facet" of human existence before we
leave here. Recalling a word that the Father spoke to me some time ago,
He said, "There is no limit to what I can accomplish through one who
will diligently keep their spirit-man in dominance over their soul and
body".
One then can begin to imagine what will happen
in this earth when thousands upon thousands of God's children begin to
guard their hearts with "all" diligence! Certain hospitals shall
"supernaturally" be emptied as the power of God flows down every hall
way and throughout every room - driving out every sickness and disease
and the "spirits" behind them. And the "spirit of death" - the final foe
- shall literally be put to flight before the "continuous onslaught" of
God's children in this last hour!
Even this slight
glimpse into the time of the Glorious Church is "mind-boggling"! And,
thus, our only recourse, as the sons and daughters of God is to abide
moment to moment in the "Spirit of wisdom and revelation" so that each
of us individually - as we are diligent to obey can bring about the
divinely ordained, corporate, glorious manifestation of the Body of
Christ in this last hour.
For us to walk in anything
less than "revelation" - moment to moment, day to day, would serve only
to impede this most glorious outpouring. One thing that God has made
superabundantly clear to me is this: in this last hour "all those" who
"truly" desire to be completely freed shall be completely freed and all
those who "refuse" to be freed shall abide in an ever increasing state
of death, darkness and bondage!
...."When the LORD
brought back the captive ones of Zion, we were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful
shouting; Then they said among the nations, "The Lord has done great
things for them.' The LORD has done great things for us; We are
glad...... Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting. He
who goes to and fro weeping, carrying [his] bag of seed, shall indeed
come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves [with him.]"....
Psalms 126:1-6 NASB
...."Rejoice , O sons/daughters of
Zion, and be glad in the LORD your God; For He has given you the early
rain for [your] vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain,
The early and latter rain as before. The threshing floors will be full
of grain, and the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil. Then I will make up to you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten,........
You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied and praise the name of the
LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you".... Joel 2:23-26 NASB
...."And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares,
that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and
your young men shall see visions (divinely granted appearances), and
your old men shall dream [divinely suggested] dreams. Yes, and on My
menservants also and on My maidservants in those days I will pour out of
My Spirit, and they shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels
and predicting future events pertaining especially to God's kingdom].
And I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth beneath,
blood and fire and smoking vapor; The sun shall be turned into darkness
and the moon into blood before the obvious day of the Lord comes--that
great and notable and conspicuous and renowned [day]. And it shall be
that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord [invoking, adoring,
and worshiping the Lord--Christ] shall be saved [experience the fullness of salvation]. [Joel 2:28-32]".... Acts 2:17-21 The Amplified Translation
