The Thought of the Day

Hosea 6:3 _[KJV] declares: < ³ Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. >

Joel 2:23-24 _[NKJV] also similarly declares: < ²³ Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God; for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you – the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. ²⁴ The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. >

The Early Rain and the Latter Rain being poured out – together, “in the first” – points to the end-time outpouring of the HOLY SPIRIT, on all flesh _{[see Joel 2:28]}, that will bring in the final harvest of the Kingdom _{[see Matt 24:14]} before the 2^nd Coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

The outpouring of the HOLY SPIRIT will flow into the following realities:

1. As extracted from Hebrews 6:4-6.

• We will be enlightened; and in this enlightening we will actualize “the Beginnings” of the four prophetic flows of this end-time revival that will take us into the next Age:

i.        We will taste of the heavenly gift – JESUS CHRIST

ii.        We will become partakers of the HOLY SPIRIT

iii.        We will taste the good Word of GOD

iv.        We will taste the powers of the age to come

1. As extracted from Matthew 7:21-23.

• We will prophesy in YESHUA’s Name
• We will cast out many, many demons in YESHUA’s Name
• We will perform many miracles in YESHUA’s Name

The Early Rain and the Latter Rain being poured out – together – will result in us being enlightened to behold and to understand and to function in Kingdom realities, as the Mystery of CHRIST is opened in our inward parts _{[see Col 1:26-29]} as the Testimony of JESUS _{[see Rev 19:10b]} becomes reality. This will be a functional reality opened in an online Witness, an operating reality, through the HOLY SPIRIT’s manifestation of the Light of YESHUA’s Life – in and through the fabric of YESHUA’s Witness within us and amongst us _{[see 1 John 5:10a, NKJV; Rev 3:14b; 1 John 5:8]}. YESHUA’s Witness – addressed as the faithful and true Witness in Revelation 3:14b – is wholly and exclusively accessible by the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see John 16:14, 13-15]}.

Tongues are a powerful and effective gift to enter and operate in the Witness of JESUS CHRIST, by the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see Rom 8:2, 1-4]}. The Witness of JESUS CHRIST gives functional expression to the Mystery of CHRIST. Paul attests to the power that works mightily within him as a practical reality of CHRIST in him, the revelation of the Mystery of CHRIST _{[see Col 1:29, 26-29 + Phil 4:13 + Eph 3:20]}.

In this operating reality of the Witness of JESUS CHRIST in us [and amongst us], we are enabled and empowered to function in the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, by the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see John 16:14-15]}.

And, in YESHUA’s Witness, we will behold [see and understand] the King _{[see Isa 33:16-17, KJV]}; and, as Paul declares in Colossians 1:29 _[NASB], we will come alive to the power that works mightily within us – in Spirit, Water and Blood _{[see 1 John 5:8, 10c; + Eph 3:20c]} – to give us exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think; so that we communicate and operate in realities in which the LORD JESUS CHRIST upholds all things by the Rhema Word of His Power _{[see Heb 1:3b]}.

In this empowered enlightenment – in us and amongst us – will manifest every good and perfect gift defined in CHRIST JESUS for application in and through members of the Body of MESSIAH according to YESHUA’s call over us _{[see 1 Peter 4:10-11, KJV]}.

As James 1:17 _[NKJV] declares: < ¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights …. >.

The communication of every good and perfect gift – which is the Dynamic of Kingdom Provision in the eternal economy of our salvation – is made in what YESHUA declares is the Light of Life _{[see John 8:12 + John 1:4]}.

We will be in a real sense be transfigured in the Light of YESHUA’s Life, as this revival brings us into operating positions in the Mount of the LORD – by the SPIRIT, from our inward parts _{[see Isa 33:16-17; Heb 12:22-24; Ps 24:3-4; 15:1-2]}.

As we are transfigured [by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS] we will at appointed times behold realities – in and of – the Kingdom of GOD. As YESHUA was transfigured in the Mount of the Transfiguration, we will be transfigured in the appointed time(s) of the LORD [YHWH]! It will be as a ‘Light Switch’ is switched on and we will see and hear and know _{[see 1 John 5:14-15]}. I understand the switch being switched on as primarily being a manifestation of the Gift of Faith, which is a download of the faith of YESHUA through His Witness in our inward parts!

The Gift of Faith will enable us to see and operate in the Kingdom of GOD at the speed of thought manifested in the Witness in Spirit, Water and Blood.

As Genesis 22:14 _[KJV] declares: “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be seen _{[and as a consequence be provided, NASB]}.”

What is seen in the faithful and true Witness in us and amongst us _{{see Rev 3:14b [NASB] + 1 John 5:10a [NKJV] + 1 John 5:8}}, will be manifested as YHWH’s provision _{[see Isa 33:16; Isa 4:4-6]} to us in the last days of this age.

Oil and New Wine are proclaimed as the prophetic conduits of YHWH’s provision from the Mount of the LORD in the last days of this age.

The oil is the unction of CHRIST that energizes the Witness in us. The oil, the unction of CHRIST, is an expression of the seven Spirits of GOD perfected and completed into an unction to function by the HOLY SPIRIT in CHRIST JESUS _{[see Ex 27:20; Rev 5:6; Rom 8:2]}.

The new wine is the living functional dynamic of the life of YESHUA manifested in our state of being as we function by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS, through the unction of the Oil.

The Oil and the New Wine will be untouched in the Tribulation (see Joel 2:24; Rev 6:6c).

The Oil and the Wine is the wealth of our salvation, unfolding the ‘life resources’ of the Kingdom.

What Isaiah _{[33:6, NASB]} declares as: < ⁶ And He will be the stability of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is his treasure. >

The Oil is fired in the lamp of our spirit to manifest the new Wine of the Light of Life _{[see Prov 20:27; Matt 25:1-12]}.

This is why the Candlestick is the prophetic symbol of the Body of MESSIAH _{[see Rev 2-3; Zech 4:1-3, 12-14]} predestined to carry the unction of MESSIAH as Light _{[see Matt 5:14]} to a world covered in deep darkness _{[see Isa 60:1-3]}.

The spiritual construct of the Mystery of CHRIST revealed and manifested in us _{[see Col 1:26-27]} will be the Light of Life _{[see 2 Cor 4:6-7, NKJV]}. And, as YESHUA declared, greater things than these will we do in His Name as the Light of YESHUA’s Life is made manifest in us and amongst us _{[see John 14:12, 12-14; 16:22-28]}.

However, if during this revival our eye turns bad, then we will be filled with the light of darkness that unveils the domain of darkness _{[see Matt 6:22-23].} The Domain of Darkness is the domain of the anti-CHRIST: “operating with all the power of false wonders, signs and miracles, in accord with the activity of satan”.

As noted in 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 < ⁷ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. ⁸ Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; ⁹ that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, ¹⁰ and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. ¹¹ For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, ¹² in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. >

Notice YESHUA’s words of warning in Matthew 6:23: that if our eye is bad, how great then, will be the darkness! This is the power of the occult, the power of deception, that led 1/3 of the angels, into the fall away from GOD.

As YHWH declares over Lucifer in his fall, in Isaiah 14:12 _[NKJV]: < ¹² “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! … >.

Let not “how you have fallen”, become YHWH’s lament over our lives.

The ‘eye’ refers to what we choose to believe and to see and pursue. To see rightly we must know the Word of GOD through the construct of a circumcised heart of flesh _{[see 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV]}.

As a man thinks in his heart, so is he _{[see Prov 23:7, KJV]}. While YHWH makes the ‘seeing eye’ and the ‘hearing ear’ _{[see Prov 20:12]}; which are functions of the heart _{[see Matt 5:8]}; it is we who have to choose to see and to hear _{[see Ps 51:10; 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV]}.

While we are all prone to making mistakes, we can get back on track through repentance. However, ultimately our choices are governed by our nature and our character.

Carrying great power requires us to stand in the character and nature of JESUS CHRIST which is evidenced as the Fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see Gal 5:22-23]}.

The fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT manifests as the HOLY SPIRIT perfects and completes us in the character and nature of JESUS CHRIST. The fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT unfolds us in the image of JESUS CHRIST _{[see Rom 8:29, 28-30]}.

We must pray the revelation of Galatians 2:20 KJV, into our being, so that we can successfully navigate the end of this age: < ²⁰ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. >

As YHWH declares in Isaiah 66:1-3 < ¹ Thus says the LORD, “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? ² “For My hand made all these things, thus all these things came into being,” declares the LORD. “But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word. >

Amen: come, LORD JESUS.

Hosea 6:3 _[KJV] declares: < ³ Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. >

Joel 2:23-24 _[NKJV] also similarly declares: < ²³ Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God; for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you – the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. ²⁴ The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. >

The Early Rain and the Latter Rain being poured out – together – points to the end-time outpouring of the HOLY SPIRIT, on all flesh _{[see Joel 2:28]}, that will bring in the final harvest of the Kingdom _{[see Matt 24:14]} at the end of the Age, before the 2^nd Coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Joel is prophesying that “the threshing floors shall be full of wheat”. Joel is also prophesying that “the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil”.

Revelation 6:6c pointedly declares that the oil and the wine will not be touched during the tribulation. Isaiah 4:4-6 _{[KJV + YLT + NASB]} points to an end-time “Goshen” being revealed where the Assemblies of Mount Zion are gathered.

As our LORD explains in the parable of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13:38, the wheat represent the sons of the Kingdom. The sons of the Kingdom are ministers of CHRIST and stewards of the Mysteries of GOD _{[see 1 Cor 4:1, NKJV]}. The sons of the Kingdom have eyes and ears opened to the Mysteries of the Kingdom _{[see Matt 13:11, 16-17]}. This end-time revival will manifest in practical terms the reality of the Kingdom of GOD and the Gospel of the Kingdom in the midst of a collapsing Babylonian System.

The purpose of the revival will be to reveal and demonstrate – practically – the Testimony of JESUS before a humanity immersed in great darkness. Through the revelation and manifestation of the Testimony of JESUS, the Body of MESSIAH will lift up the Name of the LORD JESUS so that He will draw all nations to Himself as His glory is made manifest through the Body of MESSIAH.

Two passages of Scripture, however, warn us of those who will take the glory unto themselves _{[see Eze 28:13-16]}:

• Hebrews 6:4-8 _[NASB] declares: < ⁴ For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, ⁶ and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. ⁷ For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; ⁸ but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned. >

•  In Matthew 7:21-27 _[NASB], YESHUA declares: < ²¹ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. ²² “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ ²³ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’ ²⁴ “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵ “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. ²⁶ “Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. ²⁷ “The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell – and great was its fall.”

Some 20 years ago I read a book by St. John of the Cross who talked about sin and its dark consequences. If I remember rightly, I think the title of the book was “The Dark Night of the Soul”. One of the things he wrote about was the most powerful form of temptation: the lust for power.

The lust for power only surfaces when we actually have power in our hands. This is why there needs to be a genuine purging and cleansing of the filthiness of the Daughters of Zion _{[see Isa 4:4]}. Our dying to self is a necessary reality for the success of this end-time revival; Galatians 2:20, must be genuinely alive in the fabric of our realities for us to navigate the end of this Age.  

The lust for power is the fruit of satan’s own heart and soul.

One third of the angels in heaven lost their GOD-given destiny because of Lucifer’s lust for power _{[see Isa 14:12-14]} that led to his willingness to merchandize the anointing _{[see Eze 28:14-19]} and attempt to build empire in opposition to YHWH.

The lust for power facilitates the development and growth of the spirit of error _{[see 1 John 4:6c]. The spirit of error} is at the heart of the mystery of lawlessness _{[see 2 Thess 2:7,9-10]}.

YESHUA warns us in Scripture:

• In Matthew 6:21-23 _[NASB], YESHUA declares: < ²¹ for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ²² “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. ²³ “But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! >

Revivals in Church history, especially in the last 100 years, have inevitably demonstrated that there will be those who misuse the power of GOD by embracing the spirit of error _{[see 1 John 4:6]} and opening the Mystery of Lawlessness.

In 1 John 2:16 _[KJV] the Apostle John points to the strongholds of the spirit of error: < ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. >

In 1 Timothy 6:10 _[KJV] the Apostle Paul points to the root of all evil, and the root and source of all error: < ¹⁰ For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

In Hebrews 6:4-6, the writer to the Hebrews is talking about individuals who were once enlightened _{[see John 8:12]} and then fell after:

• Having actually tasted of the heavenly gift – JESUS CHRIST _{[see John 8:23; 3:16; 1 John 5:10aWord that has to be written in our hearts and manifested in our lives]}.
• Having actually become partakers of the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see 2 Cor 3:17a + 1 Cor 6:17]}.
• Having actually tasted the good Word of GOD _{[see Jer 1:11-12; 1 Peter 4:11]}.
• Having actually tasted the powers of the age to come _{[see John 14:12]}.

The crucial passage of Scripture that we must pray into our hearts and actualize in our lives and in our lifestyles, in order to safely and successfully navigate the times of the end, is Galatians 2:20 _[KJV]: < ²⁰ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. >

The Early Rain and the Latter Rain being poured out – together – will result in us being enlightened to behold and to understand heavenly realities as the Mysteries of the Kingdom and the Mysteries of GOD _{[see Rev 10:7; Col 2:2-3, NKJV]} are opened to our inward parts _{[see Matt 13:11, 16]} through the revelation of the Heavenly Gift [see John 8:23; 1 Peter 4:10-11, KJV] – YESHUA MASHIAH – in our inward parts [see 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV; John 1:16-18, KJV+NASB]. There is an appointed time when this Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation will manifest.

As James 1:17 _[NKJV] declares: < ¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights …. >.

The communication of every good and perfect gift is made in what YESHUA declares is the Light of Life [see John 8:12 + John 1:4].

The spiritual construct of the Mystery of CHRIST revealed in us [see Col 1:26-27] is the Light of Life which is the Armor of GOD [see Rom 13:12c + Eph 6:10-11].

The spirit of error strips the disciple of CHRIST of the Armor of Light, the Armor of GOD.

In Matthew 6:21-24, YESHUA declares: < ¹⁹ “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; ²¹ for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ²² “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. ²³ “But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! ²⁴ “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. >

Amen: come, LORD JESUS.

In Hosea 6:3 _[KJV] the Prophet declares: < ³ Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. >

In Joel 2:23-24 _[ASV] the Prophet declares: < ²³ Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in JEHOVAH your God; for he giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month. ²⁴ And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. >

Both Prophets are pointing to a time when the LORD ^[YHWH] the SPIRIT _{[see 2 Cor 3:17]} will come to us as the Latter Rain and the Former Rain, a composite outpouring, so that “the floors shall be full of wheat and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil”.

The Early Rain and the Latter Rain being poured out – together – points to the end-time outpouring of the HOLY SPIRIT that will bring in the final harvest of the Kingdom _{[see Matt 24:14]} at the end of the Age, before the 2^nd Coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

There are two end-time passages that refer to wheat and to new wine and oil.

In Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 _[ASV] YESHUA MASHIAH explains the harvest of the Kingdom at the end of this Age: < ²⁴ Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field: ²⁵ but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away. ²⁶ But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. ²⁷ And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares? ²⁸ And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? ²⁹ But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them. ³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn. ……. ³⁶ Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field. ³⁷ And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; ³⁸ and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; ³⁹ and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels. ⁴⁰ As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. ⁴¹ The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, ⁴² and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. ⁴³ Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. >

In Revelation 6:5-6 it is written: < ⁵ When He ^[YESHUA] broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. ⁶ And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.” >

It is my opinion that the oil and the wine, “the products”, the functional outcomes of this great outpouring of the early and latter rains of the HOLY SPIRIT, as prophesied by the Prophets Joel and Hosea, will be in place in the inward parts of the Body of MASHIAH _{[in us and amongst us]} before the seals are broken by YESHUA [see Revelation 6].

It is my opinion that the Body of MASHIAH will be fully equipped for battle before the Seals are broken.

In order to ensure that we are fully equipped to accomplish the purposes of our King, Isaiah 4:4-6 declares that we must ensure that the LORD has cleansed us from our filthiness. Through this cleansing from all our filthiness, YHWH will equip us to stand and operate under a “Canopy” _[NASB], and a “Defense” _[KJV] and, a “Safe-Guard” _[YLT] of an end-time spiritual Goshen [that will manifest in the natural according to the Gift of Faith bestowed upon us by the HOLY SPIRIT], wherever we are located across the Nations.

Although there will be martyrs amongst us, YHWH will be our Defense. YHWH will overshadow us – “upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night”.

• Isaiah 4:4-6 _[KJV] declares: < ⁴ When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning _{[see Rev 1:14; 5:6b]}. ⁵ And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. ⁶ And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain. >
• Isaiah 4:4-6 _[YLT] declares: < ⁴ If the Lord hath washed away the filth of daughters of Zion, and the blood of Jerusalem purgeth from her midst, by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. ⁵ Then hath Jehovah prepared over every fixed place of Mount Zion, and over her convocations, a cloud by day, and smoke, and the shining of a flaming fire by night, that, over all honour a safe-guard, ⁶ and a covering may be, for a shadow by day from drought, and for a refuge, and for a hiding place, from inundation and from rain! >

The outpouring of the HOLY SPIRIT will achieve with the Body of MASHIAH all that is in the FATHER’s Heart; that we – personally and in our assemblies – will be positioned for battle, from the “dwelling places” and the “fixed places” of Mount Zion, the Mount of YHWH _{[see Gen 22:14; Ps 24:3-4; Ps 15:1-2; Isa 33:15-17; Heb 12:22-24]}. And the Gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed with the Authority and the Power of the King who is in us, amongst us and, who rules over us – by the SPIRIT.

And, the Body of MASHIAH will be conduits through whom and over whom YHWH will manifest: what “eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” _{[see 1 Cor 1:9, NKJV]}.

And the powers of the age to come _{[see Heb 6:5c]} will be opened over us, in us and through us. And, this will manifest as we function in the Heavenly Gift _{[YESHUA MASHIAH in His Fullness manifested in us and amongst us – see Heb 6:4]}; and, as we function as partakers of the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see Heb 6:4]} who have the good Word of GOD _{[see Heb 6:5]} in our mouth and in our heart _{[see Deut 30:14-15]} which YHWH will perform _{[see Jer 1:11-12]}. We will see every reality of salvation manifest as the Righteousness of YHWH is released from the altar of our heart _{[see Rom 10:10]}.

As the Prophet Ezekiel declares: < ²¹ And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ²² “Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have about the land of Israel _{[see Eph 2:14-22]}, which says, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’? ²³ Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.” But say to them, “The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision. ²⁴ For no more shall there be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. ²⁵ For I am the LORD. I speak, and the word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’ ” ²⁶ Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ²⁷ “Son of man, look, the house of Israel _{[see Eph 2:14-22; Eze 37:1-28; Deut 32:8]}is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ ²⁸ Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.'” Amen!

Please understand that all this will only open to us personally if we give heed to Hosea’s words. As the Prophet declares _{[in Hosea 6:3a, KJV]}: < ³ Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD …. >

It is time, especially for the leadership of the Church, to pray with intensity, to unfold an online connection with YESHUA our Head, by the HOLY SPIRIT, so that we walk before the FATHER in righteousness and holiness of the truth – by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS in fulfillment of the Law of Life _{[see Rom 8:2]}. Amen!

Amen: come, LORD JESUS.

Mysteries represent spiritual realities (spiritualities) revealed by GOD or satan.

The spiritual realities that derive from GOD are manifestations of the “Light of Life” _{[see 1 John 1:5 & John 8:12]}.

Opposing what comes from YHWH is the Mystery of Lawlessness _{[see 2 Thess 2:7]}, which gives revealed expressions to satan’s domain of darkness. The domain of darkness operates in what YESHUA calls the “light of darkness” _{[see Matt 6:23]}.

Salvation is the spiritual process that delivers us from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of the BELOVED SON (see Col 1:13, NASB).

GOD is Light and in Him there is no darkness [see 1 John 1:5]. Revelation manifests and communicates the Light of Life into us [see John 8:12]. The Kingdom of GOD is the spiritual framework that YHWH has ordained to give expression to every reality that flows in the Light of His Life.

The Testimony of JESUS _{[see John 14:6]} – communicated in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA _{[see John 6:63]} – is the spiritual fabric by which the Light of Life is communicated into us _{[see John 8:12]}. YESHUA gives clarity to this by declaring that He is the Light of the world. It is written in John 1:4-5, < ⁴ In Him _{[in YESHUA, the WORD of GOD]} was life, and the life was the Light of men. ⁵ The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. >

Deuteronomy 29:29 declares: < ²⁹ “The secret things _{[the Mysteries]} belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. >

The Light of Life from YESHUA transforms us and transfigures us; and, enables our every function in the natural and the spiritual, in accordance with GOD’s Word _{[see Phil 4:13]}.

And, the Testimony of YESHUA _{[see John 6:63; Luke 21:33; Rev 3:14b; 19:10c; Luke 24:44-45]} – communicating the Word of GOD in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA – is the conduit of this revelation of the Light of Life _{[see John 1:5c; 8:12c]}. This Light of Life also forms the Armor of GOD _{[see Rom 13:12c; Eph 6:11]}.

YESHUA elaborates on the Mysteries in GOD, by declaring that all things hidden in GOD are meant to be revealed to those who will pursue the revelation, by the hearing of the Word _{[see also Rom 10:17, NKJV]}. In Mark 4:22-25 YESHUA declares: < ²² “For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light. ²³ “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” ²⁴ And He was saying to them, “Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides. ²⁵ For whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.” >

Psalm 97:11 declares: < ¹¹ Light is sown like seed for the righteous and gladness for the upright in heart. >

YHWH sows His Light of Life through the implanted Seed of His Word _{[see James 1:21, NASB]}. The initial manifestation of the Light of Life causes a new birth _{[see 1 Peter 1:23]}. YESHUA instructs us that in this new birth we are enabled and empowered to see the Kingdom of GOD _{[see John 3:3]}.

And by the Water that waters the implanted Seed of the Word and by the HOLY SPIRIT who gives Rhema expression to the Logos Word _{[see John 6:63a]}, YESHUA tells us that we enter the Kingdom of GOD by Water and the SPIRIT _{[see John 3:5]} so as to operate in it through the Light of the Word of the Kingdom [see Matt 13:19a, 23].

It is through the Light of Life sown through the implanted Word of the Kingdom _{[see Matt 13:19a]} – unfolding 30-fold, 60-fold and 100-fold measures of the Word sown into our heart _{[see Matt 13:23]} – that Kingdom realities open in our inward parts. It is in the fabric of the Light of Life formed in us that the Mysteries of the Kingdom open into us.

In Luke 6:33, YESHUA declares the awesome outcomes of the Light of Life that give expression to the fabric of YHWH’s Righteousness in our being: < ³³ “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. >

All things – resourced from the Kingdom of GOD – will be added (by being revealed into us) through the fabric of the Light of YESHUA’s Life.

It is the Rhema form of the Logos Word _{[the Word defined in CHRIST JESUS and quickened to life by the HOLY SPIRIT – see Rom 8:2; John 6:63a]} that manifests the Light of Life. And the Light of Life expresses the operating medium of the Kingdom of GOD in our inward parts. This operating medium is the Witness of JESUS CHRIST, faithful and true – in Spirit, Water and Blood – opened in us in the new birth.

And in the operating medium of the Witness of JESUS CHRIST, faithful and true, we operate in the Kingdom of GOD. And, we can theoretically do this all the time and in every aspect of our life – personal, family, market place, church, ministry, nation!

Our only obstacle – to Kingdom realities and Kingdom abundance unveiled by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS – is the flesh operating in the spirit of the world; which is the spirit of lawlessness.

Hebrews 6:4-5 reveals four realities that being enlightened in the Light of Life will open to us as we increasingly function in the Kingdom of GOD: (i) Tasting the Heavenly Gift _{[see John 3:16; 1 Peter 4:10,} KJV_]; (ii) Becoming Partakers of the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see John 14:16c; 2 Cor 3:16-18; ]} so that we operate in the Kingdom, as the Veil over our heart _{[of flesh – see 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV]} is removed by a circumcision done by the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see Rom 2:28-29; Heb 10:19-20, KJV/NKJV]}; (iii) Tasting the Good Word of GOD as we enter the Kingdom economy in which YHWH performs His Word in us and through us _{[see Jer 1:11-12]}; and, (iv) Tasting the Powers of the Age To Come by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS, as we stand alive in the realities of the FATHER’s will _{[as the ‘firstfruits’ (see James 1:17-18) of the Mystery of the FATHER’s Will (see Eph 1:9-10, 8-14; James 1:18; Rom 8:19)]} is opened in us and amongst us by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS, in an administration suitable for the fullness of the times as pointed to in Ephesians 1:9-10, NASB, and Ephesians 3:8c-12, NASB; as the Mystery of CHRIST is opened in us _{[see Col 1:26-27; Eph 3:3-4]} in the Amen, of the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of GOD _{[see Rev 3:14b]}. Amen!

YHWH will give us exceedingly abundantly, beyond all that we ask or think, according to the Power that works within us _{[see Eph 3:20; 2 Cor 4:6-7]}.

YESHUA ADONAI upholds all things by the Rhema Word of His Power – for fulfillment in the kind intents of the FATHER’s will _{[see Heb 1:3b; Col 1:19-20]}!

The HOLY SPIRIT will take all that is of YESHUA and disclose to us _{[see John 16:14-15]}.

Amen: come, Lord Jesus.

The Mysteries of the Kingdom are a fascinating part of the Scriptures. Because the Word of GOD stands forever, we can see the Word of the Kingdom as a revelation in our inward parts that will enable us to abide in the Kingdom – in revealed realities obtained and held by the faith of YESHUA _{[see Heb 12:2a]} authored and perfected into us – until YESHUA comes to manifest the Kingdom on the earth.

The Word of the Kingdom can also be the spontaneous prophetic Word [in the “Word of Knowledge” and the “Word of Wisdom” and the “Discerning of Spirits”] giving us prophetic insights [by Word and through Vision and Dreams] into realities of the Kingdom opened to us in the Spirit of GOD.

Isaiah 28:9 _[NASB] declares: < ⁹ “To whom would He teach knowledge _{[knowledge: speaks of the abiding]}, and to whom would He interpret the message _{[message: speaks of the spontaneous]}? Those just weaned from milk? Those just taken from the breast? >

There is coming a time when we will actually be enabled and empowered by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS to experience spontaneous manifestations of Kingdom Power and Authority and Dominion in our peculiar situations and circumstances.

Also there will be a growing sense of the abiding fashioned into the fabric of our being in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA, the faith and love of YESHUA and, in the Character and Nature and Personality of YESHUA.

As Hosea _{[6:3, KJV]} declares there is coming an outpouring of the SPIRIT of GOD that will be a manifestation of both the early and the latter rains: < ² After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up _{[in the power of the Risen CHRIST that works within us to give us exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think (as proclaimed in Eph 3:20)]}, and we shall live in his sight. ³ Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. >

Joel _{[2:23-24, ASV]} declares the same explosion of the HOLY SPIRIT’s work: < ²³ Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in JEHOVAH your God; for He giveth you the former rain in just measure, and He causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month. ²⁴ And the floors shall be full of wheat _{[see Matthew 13:30c, 24-30, NKJV]}, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil _{[see also Revelation 6:6]}. >

Pointedly, Revelation 6:6c _[NKJV] declares that as the Seals are broken by YESHUA, the King’s decree to His angels _{[see Rev 1:16a, 20, NKJV]} will be: < “and do not harm the oil and the wine” >.

The Mysteries of the Kingdom are the fruit of the Tree of Life that grows out of the Seed of CHRIST implanted in us. Out of the implanted Seed of CHRIST, GOD will by the HOLY SPIRIT manifest the revealed realities of the Kingdom in us and amongst us. These revealed Kingdom realities will stand in the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets opened into our being as we progressively develop into Epistles of CHRIST _{[see Ex 31:18; 32:16; 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV]}. The fabric of this communication of Kingdom realities into our inward parts will be in the actual fabric of the Spirit and Life of YESHUA _{[see Phil 4:13, 19, KJV]}.

The flowing River of GOD, flowing the Water of Life _{[see Rev 22:1; Rev 1:15c; Eze 1:24]}, is opened in us by the HOLY SPIRIT in wells of living water _{[see John 4:13-14].} The Waters of Life will flow from our innermost being [KJV: ‘belly’] as rivers of living water _{[see John 7:37-38]}.

The flowing Water of Life, flowing into us through wells of living Water, will, by the SPIRIT, water the Seed of CHRIST; and, the watered Seed of CHRIST will in turn manifest Kingdom realities and capacities of function in us _{[see Col 1:26-28]} and amongst us – progressively – according to the Voice of GOD _{[see Eze 1:24]} and His Messiah _{[see Rev 1:15c]}, in MASHIAH YESHUA’s power “mightily working within us and amongst us” as testified to by the Apostle Paul _{[in Col 1:29c, NASB]}.

These revealed realities _{[“Spiritualities”]} will be of the Spirit and Life of JESUS CHRIST _{[see John 6:63; Heb 1:3b; Luke 21:33; Rev 1:15c]}. And, these revealed Kingdom realities will be established in the faith of YESHUA, authored and finished into us in the substance and witness of His fullness. What is manifested in the substance and witness of YESHUA is the product of the Righteousness of YHWH – based on our response to Him and His Word, through faith _{[see Rom 10:10; 3:21-23, KJV]}.

The revelation of Kingdom realities will unfold to our inward parts based on our response _{[in obedient, GOD fearing, faith]} to the Word of the Kingdom through prayer, worship and by lifestyle changes, reflecting our willingness to become – in the image and fullness of MASHIAH YESHUA – ministers of the New Covenant _{[see 2 Cor 3:3-6, NKJV]}, ministers of CHRIST, faithful stewards of the Mysteries of GOD _{[see 1 Cor 4:1-2]}.

As Hosea declares: “in the third day he will raise us up _{[in the power of the Risen CHRIST that works within us to give us exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think (as proclaimed in Eph 3:20)]}, and we shall live in his sight. ³ Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD”.

Revelation 22:1-2 gives prophetic expression to the Kingdom that unfolds, in fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, from the Tree of Life established on either side of the River of GOD _{[see Ps 1:1-3]}: < ¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. ² In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

³ And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. ⁴ They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. ⁵ There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. >

The Tree of Life grows out of the Seed of CHRIST. The Seed of CHRIST is the Seed of the Word of GOD. Contained in the Seed of CHRIST is the seed-form of every Word by which YHWH has predestined the development and establishment of the realities of His Kingdom _{[see Isaiah 28:9; John 1:16-18, NASB+NKJV; Rom 8:1-2, NKJV]}.

Words form verses that describe operating realities in which the Kingdom is opened to us. There are verses in the written Word of GOD that when opened into us in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA, form the fabrics of reality that will manifest and grow and develop the Kingdom Mysteries of YHWH to our inward parts; so that we as Ministers of CHRIST will be stewards of the Mysteries of GOD, through the Testimony of YESHUA which, manifests the Spirit of MASHIAH as the Spirit of Prophecy _{[see Rev 10:7; Col 2:2-3, NKJV]}.

We are in this sense talking of the Kingdom that is coming forth in the Testimony of JESUS that unfolds in and from the Seed of CHRIST. Everything in Revelation 21 and 22 are actual expressions – the actual end products – of the Testimony of YESHUA that become the basis of a new Beginning, when the SON brings all things in subjection to GOD the FATHER.

1 Corinthians 15:22-28 _[NKJV] declares: < ²² For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. ²³ But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits _{[see James 1:17-18; Col 1:17-18; Heb 12:22-23]}, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. ²⁴ Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. ²⁵ For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. ²⁶ The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. ²⁷ For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. ²⁸ Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. >

This unfolding of the Kingdom – in the Testimony of JESUS that grows out of the Seed of CHRIST – flows in the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of GOD _{[see Rev 3:14b, NASB]}. This is the Witness of living Waters that flow the River of Life _{[see Rev 22:1]}.

Simplistically, the Mysteries of the Kingdom unfold through: (i) revealed realities carried in singular words; (ii) revealed realities that unfold through verses and passages of Scripture; (iii) revealed realities that unfold through the Promises of Scripture; (iv) revealed realities that unfold through the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets; (v) revealed realities that unfold through Blood Covenant intimacy structured into us and amongst us.

Given that YESHUA is the WORD of GOD; all realities of the Kingdom, opened to redeemed mankind, necessarily manifests in and through the fabrics of the Spirit and Life of YESHUA, in “fabrics of reality” woven by the HOLY SPIRIT to fulfill the kind intentions of the FATHER’s will predestined in a Kingdom framework – for fulfillment.

What comes to life from the Seed of CHRIST develops and grows in a ‘Kingdom of GOD’ framework – engineered in the Testimony of JESUS, which is the Spirit of Prophecy _{[see Rev 19:10c]}. It follows that everything in the Kingdom of GOD stands in absolute contradiction to what is of the world we live in.

The ‘Spiritual’ _{[= ‘Spirit’ + ‘Life’ of YESHUA]} that forms and governs reality in the Kingdom is absolutely different from the ‘spiritual’ that forms and governs the fabric of the world in ‘sin and death’.

What is of CHRIST unfolds in the Tree of Life and what is of the world unfolds in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. What is of CHRIST manifests and develops the eternal and abiding realities of the Kingdom of GOD; and, what is of the world manifests in sin and death and evil _{[see Deut 30:14-15, KJV]} which is the testament of the Domain of Darkness, the kingdom governed by the serpent and the dragon.

The Mysteries of the Kingdom bring on ‘the Beginning of the Creation of GOD’ – by the Amen of YHWH’s Will, manifested in the faithful and true Witness of YESHUA, by the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see Rev 3:14b + Rom 8:2]}.

What we will open by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS in this end-time outpouring of the former and the latter rain, will be of the Kingdom Mysteries of GOD revealing: “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him.” As YESHUA has declared: “greater things than these will you do in My Name”! Amen!

Amen: come, Lord Jesus.

When the HOLY SPIRIT comes upon us, in a Latter Rain Pentecost, He will empower the Word of the Kingdom, manifesting its realities in His Sovereign Will into the operating parameters of Spirit, Water and Blood within us _{[see 1 John 5:8, NKJV]}.

We need to prepare for this outpouring of the HOLY SPIRIT by praying the Word of the Kingdom into our inward parts of spirit, heart and soul _{[as identified in Heb 4:12]}.

When rightly defined in the revealed Word of the Kingdom structured into our inward parts: (i) in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA; (ii) in the faith and love of YESHUA; (iii) in the Nature and Character of YESHUA; (iv) the Testimony of YESHUA; then the Witness within us will pick up the Witness that will come upon us and we will begin to operate in the Kingdom as we rise as eagles into the Mount of the LORD _{[see Isaiah 40:31; 33:16-17]}.

The Spiritual [Gk: Pneumaticos] quickened in us will combine with the Spiritual [Gk: Pneumaticos] that will come upon us as noted in 1 Corinthians 2:13 _[NASB]: “combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words”. [I have deleted the translator’s inserts.]

And, this will open to us what 1 Corinthians 2:9 declares: < ⁹ … “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.” ¹⁰ For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. >

The Spiritual we are speaking of is of the Spirit and Life of YESHUA _{[see John 6:63 + Heb 1:3b]}; and, this must be so because Scripture declares that the fullness of MASHIAH YESHUA must fill all-in-all and the fullness of YESHUA MASHIAH is the exclusive basis in which the FATHER reconciles all things – in heaven and earth – to Himself _{[see Eph 1:23; see also Col 1:17 & 1:19-20]}!

Hence the fabric of the Spiritual will be of the Spirit and Life of YESHUA. This is why I have capitalized the letter “s” in “Spiritual”.

“Spiritual” = “Spirit” + “Life” of YESHUA, whose fullness is to fill all-in-all _{[see Eph 1:23, 22-23]}. Any other kind of spiritual will open the Mystery of Lawlessness _{[see 2 Thess 2:7, 9-10; Matt 7:21-23]}.

If we walk away from this understanding of the Spiritual then what we will see are false miracles and signs and wonders that YESHUA will disown _{[see Matt 7:21-23; 2 Thess 2:9c]}. Power without the Testimony of JESUS has no status in the Kingdom of GOD _{[see Heb 1:3b; Eph 3:20b; 1 Cor 1:18, a & c, NASB]}.

As YESHUA pointedly declares in Matthew 7:21-23 _[NASB]: < ²¹ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. ²² “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ ²³ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’ >

The Kingdom is of the BELOVED SON as pointed to in Colossians 1:13 [NASB]. And citizenship of the Kingdom is exclusively of the Spirit and Life of YESHUA. The Spirit and Life of YESHUA is the definitive fabric of the Spiritual that gives expression to the Kingdom of the BELOVED SON. As Ephesians 1:23 declares MASHIAH YESHUA’s fullness is to fill all-in-all.

Colossians 1:19-20 _[NASB] declares in no uncertain terms: < ¹⁹ For it pleased the Father that in Him _[YESHUA] all the fullness should dwell, ²⁰ and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. >

Understand that the Blood of YESHUA’s Cross is part and parcel of the Witness of YESHUA, faithful and true _{[see Rev 3:14b]}, that we carry in Spirit, Water and Blood _{[see 1 John 5:10a, 8, NKJV]}.

When we pray by the SPIRIT or, worship by the SPIRIT, or minister by the SPIRIT, we do so in all that stands in the fullness of JESUS CHRIST, in the fabric of His Spirit and His Life. The fabric of Christian Spirituality is of the Spirit and Life of MASHIAH YESHUA that Scripture decrees is to “fill all-in-all” and to “fill all things” _{[see Eph 1:23; 4:10c]}.

The spiritual fabric of the Spirit and Life of MASHIAH YESHUA is the fundamental fabric of Kingdom operation and function – by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS _{[see Rom 8:2, 1-4]} – energized in the Witness of YESHUA is Spirit, Water and Blood, by the HOLY SPIRIT.

Tongues are an effective and powerful tool to energize function and operation in the Witness that opens the Mystery of CHRIST, the Mysteries of GOD, the Mysteries of the Kingdom, the Mystery of Faith _{[see 1 Tim 3:9]} and, the Mystery of Godliness _{[see 1 Tim 3:16]} to our inward parts.

The wrongful use of tongues can open the Mystery of Lawlessness to our inward parts [see 2 Thess 2:7 + Matt 7:21-23 + 2 Thess 2:9-12 + Heb 6:4-6 + Heb 10:29].  

Tongues can be used in prayer, in worship and to activate the Rhema Word of YESHUA’s Power _{[see Heb 1:3b; Eph 3:20]} in our mouth and in our heart _{[see Deut 30:14-15, (KJV+NASB) + Rom 10:10]} in the faithful and true Witness of JESUS CHRIST, operating in Spirit, Water and Blood – in us and amongst us _{[see Luke 17:20-21, NKJV+NASB]}. This is the operating framework of the Kingdom of the BELOVED SON in us and amongst us.

Tongues are an effective means by which we operate by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS through the Witness faithful and true, so as to open the Mysteries of the Kingdom _{[see 1 Cor 14:2; Matt 13:11; 1 Cor 4:1; Col 1:26-27]} in the Testimony of JESUS _{[see Rev 19:10c]}.

As we have explained in previous articles, the Spirit of Prophecy is the life-giving Spirit of JESUS CHRIST _{[see 1 Cor 15:45c + Phil 1:19c]}. True Spirituality communicates in the life-giving Spirit of JESUS CHRIST, which is, the Spirit of Prophecy.

The Mysteries of the Kingdom _{[see Matt 13:11]} open – by the SPIRIT, in the Witness of JESUS CHRIST – according to the call of YESHUA; and, the Mysteries of the Kingdom open in the context of the gift mix YHWH has predestined in our lives, to fulfill the call of YESHUA in our lives.

We shall explore the Mysteries of the Kingdom in our next article in this series.

Amen: come, Lord Jesus.

Receiving the Kingdom _{[see Heb 12:28, 27-29]} involves the communication _{[by revelation from YHWH – see Deut 29:29; Mark 4:22; Matt 13:11]} of the Word of the Kingdom _{[see Matt 13:19a]} in our heart _{[see Matt 13:23]} so that the word defined realities of the Kingdom – in 30-fold, 60-fold and 100-fold measures – may be opened to our inward parts _{[see 2 Cor 4:16]} by the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV]}.

The Kingdom realities carried by the Word in our heart can be applied to our lives and our ministries – by the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see John 16:14-15]}, in CHRIST JESUS _{[see Rom 8:2]}.

As YESHUA declares in Luke 12:32 _[NKJV],it is the FATHER’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom: < ³² “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. >

We should therefore expect the Kingdom to be operational – by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS – in us and in our every sphere of influence: in our personal lives, our family lives, our lives in the workplace, our ministry lives and, in our lives in the nations where we are placed.

This communication of the Word of the Kingdom into our heart – which will progressively reveal the Mysteries of the Kingdom _{[see Matt 13:11]} into us – is a part of the call of GOD upon our lives to be “servants _[ministers] of CHRIST” who are “stewards of the Mysteries of GOD” _{[see 1 Corinthians 4:1]}. I see the Mysteries of GOD being applied in a Kingdom framework so that a testimony to the glory of the FATHER – through the SON – will be manifested, by the HOLY SPIRIT.

All of the realities of the Mysteries of the Kingdom will be communicated into us in the Spirit and Life of JESUS CHRIST [see John 6:63 + Heb 1:3b]. The Spirit and Life of YESHUA being perfected and completed into us is integral to our stewardship of the Mysteries of GOD through the call of YESHUA defined in our heart by Covenant.

The seed of this stewardship opens in the implanted Seed of CHRIST – carrying the prophetic contents of the Seed of Abraham [by Promise] and the Seed of David [in the revelation of YESHUA as the BELOVED] – in our hearts.

Colossians 2:2-3 _[NKJV] declares: < ² that their _[our] hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ _{[which can only be revealed by the HOLY SPIRIT]}, ³ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. >

1 Corinthians 4:1 _[NKJV] reads: < ¹ Let a man so consider us, as servants _[ministers] of Christ _{[developed out of the Seed of CHRIST in the dynamic of its Abrahamic (by Promise) and Davidic (through intimacy in the BELOVED) roots]} and stewards of the mysteries of God. ² Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. > We are stewards of promises through an intimacy with the BELOVED, developed in the operating framework of the Kingdom of GOD.

Ministers of CHRIST _{[this includes the 5-fold leadership mentioned in Eph 4:11-12 as well as the Ministry of the saints outlined in Romans 12:4-21 & 1 Cor 12:1-31]} operate in the framework of the Kingdom of GOD because all forms of ministry should be resourced in and from the Kingdom of the BELOVED SON _{[see Col 1:13, NASB]} through the Witness of YESHUA MASHIAH alive within us in Spirit, Water and Blood.

This Witness in Spirit, Water and Blood, YESHUA addresses as: < The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God >. The Beginning of the Creation of GOD is a Kingdom dynamic raised in and out of the Witness [the quickened Rhema reality of the Kingdom] and Testimony [the definitive Logos reality of the Kingdom] of YESHUA!

The Witness of YESHUA – prophetically described as faithful and true – stands in Spirit, Water and Blood within us and amongst us and, this is the Witness that the Word the Kingdom is meant to reveal as the “operating system” of the Body of MASHIAH – by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS _{[see Rom 8:2]} – free from the Law of Sin and Death.

This is why the Word of the Kingdom finds both its definitive and its functional root in the Word _[Logos] of the Cross _{[see 1 Cor 1:18, NASB; Eph 3:20; Heb 1:3b]} in the Blood Covenant Oath of YHWH-Jireh _{[see Gen 22:14] – “in the Mount of YHWH it will be provided”}.

When the Logos Word of the Cross is quickened – in worship or prayer – by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS, we enter into the Rhema Word of the Cross, the dynamic “online operating system” of the Body of CHRIST that has the potential of accessing – by the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see John 16:14, 14-15]} – the Rhema Word of YESHUA’s Power _{[see Heb 1:3b; Eph 3:20]}, the Prophetic and Apostolic reality by which the King upholds all things in the depths of GOD _{[see 1 Cor 2:10, 9-10]}, as the only Begotten SON in the Bosom of the FATHER _{[see John 1:18, NASB+NKJV]} – for fulfillment _{[see Jer 1:11-12]}, to the FATHER’s glory _{[see 1 Cor 15:22-25]}.

1 Corinthians 15:24 _[NASB] declares: < ²⁴ then comes the end, when He _[YESHUA] hands over the kingdom _{[Are you shocked and surprised that it is not the Church?]} to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. >

_{[This ‘abolishing’ will include all power structures within the Church that are contrary to GOD’s Kingdom Agenda.]}

It is so important that we understand that the ultimate purposes of GOD involve His Kingdom. We the Church are instruments by which the Kingdom will be established in the LORD [YHWH] JESUS CHRIST [YESHUA MASHIAH] – at His feet _{[see Eph 1:22-23]}.

YESHUA’s second coming will establish the Kingdom of GOD on the earth. The instruments of the Kingdom and the institutions of the Kingdom will be developed in the subsequent rule of the King on the earth. The beginnings are in our inward parts today! It’s going to be very exciting and challenging, a whole new universe of learning for all of us, as we see and participate in heaven being unveiled on earth!

The first fruits of this Kingdom Dominion _{[see James 1:17-18, NASB+NKJV]} are going to be manifested through us before the Nations of the world; before the King’s advent on the earth, as we actually confront the powers of darkness with the Testimony of YESHUA.

Revelation 12:11 _[NASB] declares: < ¹¹ “And they overcame him _{[satan, the serpent and the dragon]} because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. >

Today we are preparing the Way of the LORD – by presenting the Testimony of JESUS before the nations. We are going to expound the Testimony of YESHUA with power to demonstrate the reality of the Kingdom and its King in our midst. This is the purpose of the Latter Rain outpouring that we are anticipating.

YESHUA must increase and we must decrease.

The shakings that have begun across the nations of the world will increase to ensure that those who are tuned into YESHUA will learn to do all things by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS. Multitudes from the nations will join us in this pursuit of YESHUA MASHIAH _{[see Isaiah 2:2-3]}. Unfortunately, “some” will also fall away from the faith, in the Church _{[see 1 Tim 4:1; 2 Tim 3:1-8; Matt 24:9-10]}.

With the anticipated Latter Rain Pentecost, we will be equipped from above so as to unveil a far greater measure of the first fruits of the Kingdom than was seen in the early Church. Love for the brethren will be the crucible in which power will flow. And, we must objectively move towards this goal – by the SPIRIT, by living through JESUS CHRIST.

The crucible of power will be the knitting together of the brethren by the SPIRIT through the substance and witness of YESHUA manifested into our inward parts as we each unveil as partakers and unique Epistles of CHRIST, living expressions of the Righteousness of YHWH.

The outcome of this Latter Rain Pentecostal movement _{[which will be the work of GOD not tied to any specific denomination]} is addressed in awesome terms by Scripture.

As Revelation 11:15-18a _[NASB] reads: < ¹⁵ Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.” ¹⁶ And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, ¹⁷ saying, “We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign. ¹⁸ “And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.” ¹⁹ And the temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple … >.

Our FATHER who art in heaven. Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done: on earth as it is in heaven. For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever and ever. Amen!

Amen: come, Lord Jesus.

The Word of the Kingdom defines our functional state of being in the Kingdom of GOD. The Word of the Kingdom energized by the HOLY SPIRIT develops our functional state of being in the Kingdom of GOD.

The Word of the Kingdom facilitates our living and functioning in the Kingdom of GOD! Everything we do in thought, word, deed and relationship can be developed and resourced in the dynamic of life in the Kingdom.

The Word of the Kingdom enables the entire fabric of our state of being and its every function in conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious terms to be developed and resourced in and from the Kingdom of GOD.

In Matthew 6:33 _[NASB], YESHUA instructs us: < ³³ “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. > The realities of the Kingdom of GOD are predestined to invade the realities of the world.

In Matthew 13:44-45 _[NASB], YESHUA instructs us on the hidden wealth of the Kingdom that nothing on earth compares with: < ⁴⁴ “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. ⁴⁵ “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, ⁴⁶ and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. >

The Kingdom is taken hold of from our inward parts _{[see Luke 17:20-21, NKJV]} with the new spirit _{[designed to carry functions in the life-giving Spirit of JESUS CHRIST]} and new heart _{[designed to carry the Word of GOD in a Blood Covenant of YESHUA’s flesh]} that GOD has given us in the new birth _{[see Eze 36:26; John 3:3-5]}.

Entry into the Kingdom is entirely based on our recognition _{[by faith]} of YESHUA as LORD and Savior as a consequence of the finished work of the Cross _{[see Rom 10:9; Col 2:8-15]}. This is why in Water Baptism we are baptized _{[“immersed” and “buried”]} into CHRIST and baptized _{[“immersed” and “buried”]} into His death _{[see Rom 6:3; Gal 3:27, NASB+NKJV]} so that we will all be partakers of His death and resurrection in a power that works within us _{[see Eph 3:20c]}.

Hence the Word of the Kingdom finds both its definitive and its functional root in the Word _[Logos] of the Cross _{[see 1 Cor 1:18, NASB; Eph 3:20; Heb 1:3b]} in the Blood Covenant reality of YHWH-Jireh _{[see Gen 22:14]}.

The Rhema of the Logos Word _{[the quickened Word]} of the Cross operates by the SPIRIT in Spirit, Water and Blood _{[see Rom 8:2; 1 John 5:8, 10a, NKJV]} in our inward parts. And this Witness operates in our mouth and in our heart _{[see Deut 30:14-15]}.

The Rhema of the Word of the Cross is the functional witness of Blood Covenant in us in Spirit, Water and Blood. And the witness of Blood Covenant operates in a power that works within us.

All of GOD’s Kingdom provision “registers” its realities _{[in the substance and witness of our faith authored and finished by YESHUA into a circumcised heart of flesh]} in Spirit, Water and Blood. These realities are empowered realities – beyond all that we ask or think _{[see Eph 3:20]}.

In this Witness the Kingdom of GOD is received, accessed and operated in – by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS _{[see Rom 8:2]}. The operating dynamic of the Kingdom stands in Spirit, Water and Blood. Spirit, Water and Blood is the reality [the inward witness] in which the Kingdom of GOD is in us and amongst us _{[see Luke 17:20-21, NKJV+NASB]}. This witness is an empowered witness that stands in the power that works within us.

In Spirit, Water and Blood the functional dynamic of the Kingdom of GOD is developed in resurrection power.

In Spirit, Water and Blood the evidence of the Kingdom is opened in us and amongst us in empowered realities.

In Spirit, which is the life-giving Spirit of JESUS CHRIST _{[see 1 Cor 15:45 + Phil 1:19c]}, the capacities of Kingdom function are defined in the witness. The entire complex of the call of YESHUA and the entire spectrum of the gift-mix – hard-wired into the inward parts of the Body of MASHIAH – are meant to be fully enabled in the life-giving Spirit of JESUS CHRIST.

In Water, is the “Voice/Witness” of JESUS CHRIST _{[see Rev 1:15c]} and His Word _{[see Heb 5:13-14]}. So the Kingdom’s King has direct access to our inward parts [and vice versa] through His Witness of Spirit, Water and Blood – provided we are tuned in to YESHUA, by the SPIRIT, from our inward parts.

In Blood, is the Witness of Blood Covenant that stands defined in a progressively circumcised heart of His Flesh _{[see 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV; Heb 10:19-20]}. Our calling and our gift mix must always operate in a Blood Covenant framework – where we function by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS, before the FATHER!

The Witness of the Cross – in Spirit, Water and Blood – opens the awesome complex of Kingdom function into our inward parts. This awesome complex of Kingdom function operates by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS, in a freedom and liberty from the Law of Sin and Death _{[see Rom 8:2]} evidenced in the Shabbat-Shalom of YHWH.

In the Kingdom, in the outcomes of the finished work of the cross, energized by the HOLY SPIRIT, Romans 8:1-5 _[NKJV] declares: < ¹ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. ² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. ³ For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ⁵ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. >

Romans 14:17 describes the outcome of Kingdom living by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS as follows: < ¹⁷ for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness _{[see Rom 10:10]} and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. >

“Receiving the Kingdom” is achieved through: (i) praying the Word of the Kingdom _{[see Matt 13:19a]} – by the SPIRIT [tongues are a powerful tool for this purpose], in CHRIST JESUS – into the construct of our inward parts in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA _{[see John 6:63; 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV]}; and, (ii) the walk of faith giving actual functional expression to the Word of the Kingdom in our lives and in our ministries _{[see Matt 13:16-17]}.

The Word of the Kingdom defines our state of being in the Kingdom of GOD; and, the Word of the Kingdom facilitates our living and functioning – in every aspect of life – in the Kingdom of GOD!

The Word of the Kingdom enables the entire fabric of our state of being and its every function in conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious terms to be resourced in and from the Kingdom of GOD. This is how we will need to function in the ‘near future’ in terms of our personal lives and in the operation of our ministries, as the systems of the world fail [see Isa 24:1-6, NASB].

The Kingdom of GOD is the spiritual framework for the application of all of GOD’s Word – by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS _{[see Rom 8:2]}. GOD is SPIRIT and GOD expresses Himself in ‘spiritualities’ that operate in a Kingdom framework.

The application of the Word of GOD by the SPIRIT, in the fullness of CHRIST JESUS _{[see Rom 8:2, 1-4; 2 Cor 4:6-7, NKJV]} gives functional expression to the Word of the Kingdom in and through the Witness of JESUS CHRIST in Spirit, Water and Blood _{[see 1 John 5:10a, 8, NKJV; John 19:30, 34]}.

[The ‘spiritualities’ carried by the Word of the Kingdom will impact our every function in thought, word, deed and relationship. These ‘spiritualities’ flowing in and out of a Kingdom framework will be entirely ‘supernatural’ unveiling the power of GOD.]

For this reason the nucleus of the Kingdom of GOD is called the Kingdom of the “BELOVED SON” _{[see Col 1:13, NASB]}; and the Kingdom of the BELOVED SON has the intent of unveiling “an administration suitable to the fullness of the times” concerned with “the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth” _{[see Eph 1:10b, NASB]}.

The Church, the Body of MASHIAH created out of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST _{[see Eph 1:22-23; 2:10; John 1:16, NASB/NKJV]}, defines the peculiar instruments of the Kingdom, the sons of GOD called forth in a Kingdom context as priests, prophets and kings.

Ephesians 1:5-6, 10 _[NASB] declares: < ⁵ He predestined us to adoption _{[see also Gal 4:5-6]} as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, ⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved … ¹⁰ with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. >

Colossians 1:16-20 _[NASB] defines the essential reality of the BELOVED as follows: < ¹⁶ For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things have been created through Him and for Him. ¹⁷ He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. ¹⁸ He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. ¹⁹ For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, ²⁰ and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. >

From the above we can understand that the spiritual fabric of the Kingdom is of the fullness of the SON. And out of the ‘spiritualities’ that are invisible will manifest the visible that will impact every facet of reality in the natural.

Every member of the Body of MASHIAH – the Church – is given the fullness of JESUS CHRIST to develop in order to realize the capacity of being an instrument of the Kingdom. John 1:16-17 _[NASB] declares: < ¹⁶ For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. ¹⁷ For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. >

The Kingdom of GOD is within us and amongst us _{[see Luke 17:20-21, NKJV+NASB]}. The Word of GOD stands in our mouth and in our heart _{[see Deut 30:14-15]} in a faith authored and finished by YESHUA MASHIAH _{[see Heb 12:2a; Rom 10:10]}. The faith authored and finished by YESHUA MASHIAH is of the substance _{[Gk: ‘hupostasis’]} of His fullness _{[predestined to fill all-in-all – see Eph 1:22-23 – in terms of the visible and the invisible]}.

The Word of the Kingdom – communicated in the substance and witness of YESHUA MASHIAH – defines the spiritual fabric of the Kingdom of GOD. The Word of the Kingdom stands in the Word of GOD that is defined in us and, the Word of the Kingdom stands in the Word of GOD that is amongst us in a unity of the faith that is of the actual substance and witness of YESHUA MASHIAH.

The instruments of the Kingdom are defined through the substance and witness of YESHUA perfected and completed into the fabric of our being, by the HOLY SPIRIT _{[see John 16:14-15]}. In the manifestation of the substance and witness of JESUS CHRIST into us by the HOLY SPIRIT, the Mystery of CHRIST finds its peculiar and specific application in each one of us _{[see Col 1:26-28]}.

The Word of the Kingdom is applied on the earth as the Body of CHRIST realizes its position as instruments of the Kingdom. We are priests _{(who connect with GOD in fully functional terms),} prophets _{(having the Oracles of GOD in our mouth) and} kings _{(invested with King’s Authority)]}. The Word of the Kingdom defines each one of these functional roles in deeply and profoundly personal terms in the fabric of our being, created out of the fullness of YESHUA MASHIAH _{[see John 1:16-17, NKJV/NASB/KJV]} and perfected and completed in His Image _{[see Rom 8:29-30]}.

The walk of faith pursues the outcome(s) of our prayer – actualizing the realities carried in the Word of the Kingdom which flow in and out of _{[see Jer 1:11-12, NASB]} the many ‘facets’ of the Word of GOD: (i) The Word of the Cross _{[see 1 Cor 1:18; Eph 3:20; Heb 1:3b]}; (ii) The Word of (YESHUA’s) Faith _{[see Heb 12:2a; Rom 10:8-10]}; (iii) The Word of His Grace _{[see Acts 20:32; 2 Cor 12:9, NKJV+NASB]}; (iv) The Word of Healing and Deliverance _{[see Ps 107:20]}; (v) The Word of Reconciliation _{[see 2 Cor 5:18-19]}; (vi) The Word of Life _{[see 1 John 1:1-3]}; (vii) The Word of Righteousness _{[see Heb 5:13-14]}; (viii) The Word of CHRIST _{[see Col 3:16]}; (ix) The Word of His Power _{[see Heb 1:3b]}; (x) The Word of the Oath _{[see Heb 7:28]}.

Actualizing the realities of the Kingdom _{[by substance and witness of YESHUA MASHIAH]} – in our inward parts and in the expression of our every reality of thought, word, deed and relationship – is the evidence of our faith walk that will bring the evidence of the Kingdom of the BELOVED SON in our midst and, into our spheres of influence.

Our faith walk must stand in the framework of the Kingdom even as the people of GOD in the Old Testament stood in the context of Israel, which foreshadows the unveiling of the Kingdom of GOD in us and amongst us.

The spiritual heart of Israel was the Tabernacle and the spiritual heart of the Kingdom is the Body of MASHIAH, expressing the dwelling places of YHWH and communicating the Ark of YHWH – YESHUA MASHIAH – through the Witness of JESUS CHRIST, the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of GOD _{[see Rev 3:14b, NASB]}.

This evidence of the Kingdom unveils in substance [which defines the evidence of faith] and witness [which gives expression to the evidence of faith]. Given the fact that YESHUA is the Way, the Truth and the Life _{[see John 14:6; 10:9]}, it follows that the evidence of true Kingdom oriented faith is of the substance and witness _[evidence] of YESHUA.

All true and abiding Kingdom function flows out of the substance and witness of YESHUA – in invisible and visible terms.

There is a realm of prayer that positions us behind the Veil in the Mount of the LORD (YHWH) so that we can actualize the reality of the Kingdom in our inward parts. Actualizing the Kingdom in our inward parts – in substance and witness – enables us to operate in the Kingdom in every aspect of our daily lives – communicating the invisible into the dynamic of the visible on the earth, potentially in every sphere of human endeavor.

Our thoughts and the articulation of our thoughts through words, deeds and relationships, position us either in the Domain of Darkness _{[see Jer 17:9]} or in the Kingdom of GOD _{[see Heb 6:19; Matt 5:8]}.

Proverbs 23:7a _[YLT] reads: < ⁷ For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. >

Ezekiel 36:26 tells us that there are two forms of faith _{[prophetically symbolized by the two trees in the Garden of Eden]}, one arising from a heart of stone that every one of us carries and another coming alive in a new heart of flesh being developed by YHWH from a new birth.

_{[In the new birth YHWH has given us a new heart and a new spirit so that we can actualize a faith form in substance and witness that is authored and finished by JESUS CHRIST (see Heb 12:2a).]}

In Ezekiel 36:26, YHWH declares that He will remove the heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh. As long as we are in our earthly bodies we will have to contend between these two faith forms; one manifesting life in the flesh that revolves around a perishing world and, the other manifesting life in the Kingdom.

There is a battle we have to fight as overcomers, to ensure that we stand behind the veil _{[see Heb 6:19]} in the Kingdom, in a faith authored and perfected by YESHUA.

Scripture instructs us that the heart of flesh is being progressively developed into an Epistle of CHRIST _{[see 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV]}. This heart of flesh is of the substance and witness of YESHUA; hence the term “Epistle of CHRIST”. With this heart we operate in the Kingdom _{[see Matt 5:8; Ps 24:3-4; 15:1-2; Heb 12:22-24]}.

The Kingdom opens to us by revelation manifested in the substance [Gk: ‘hupostasis’] and witness [Gk: ‘maturia’] of JESUS CHRIST hardwired into our inward parts through prayer.

Prayer by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS, that pursues the formation of Blood Covenant in a heart of flesh, in fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, will progressively enable us to stand behind the Veil in the Kingdom of GOD and, arise and operate in Mount Zion, where the Seat of the Government of the Kingdom stands. Amen!
