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!

In Matthew 6:9-13 _[NKJV], the LORD JESUS CHRIST instructs us to pray to the FATHER, declaring: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” in the clear understanding that this will be so because “Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

The purpose of the Kingdom of GOD in this age is to manifest the FATHER’s will on the earth. The end product is the earth operating in the FATHER’s will – as it is in heaven _{[see Isa 11:1-10]}.

The prophetic intent of YHWH’s will, is to: (i) manifest the Kingdom, manifest the instruments of the Kingdom _{[the people of GOD equipped in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT to function as the Oracles of GOD (see 1 Peter 4:10-11) in the Kingdom reality of being priests, prophets and kings]} and, manifest the institutions of the Kingdom _{[the prophetic and apostolic ‘hubs’ manifested throughout the Body of MASHIAH, being unveiled in every nation, operating from High Places in the Mount of the LORD under the shadow of the ALMIGHTY (see Isa 2:2-4; 4:4-6; 33:15-17)];} and, (ii) to destroy evil _{[see Rev 20:10-15]}, destroy the instruments of evil and, destroy the institutions of evil _{[see Isa 2:1-4, 12-22; Isa 24:1-6]}.

Revelation 11:15-19 _[NASB] declares: < 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, and there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a great hailstorm. >

The great outpouring of the HOLY SPIRIT that we are anticipating will energize and empower _{[from our inward parts]} a tangible and verifiable Kingdom explosion _{[the reward of our faith in YHWH, through His SON]} – in us and amongst us _{[see Luke 17:20-21, NKJV+NASB]}. As Prophet Rick Joyner writes: “Every great thing in Scripture was but the seed of what we will now see as a harvest. Even the first century church was but a seed of what the church will become.”

The Seed _{[the Seed of CHRIST prophetically rooted in the Seed of Abraham (by Promise) and, the Seed of CHRIST prophetically rooted in the Seed of David (in a functional intimacy of YESHUA as the BELOVED)]} for all that will flow in, and through, the Body of MASHIAH will flow out of the prophetic Word we are holding on to in the Testimony of YESHUA _{[see Rev 19:10c]}, expecting _{[in a faith authored and finished by YESHUA]} YHWH to actually perform His Word in us and amongst us _{[see Jer 1:11-12, NASB]} and through us as we unfold as the Oracles of GOD placed in every conceivable human situation across the nations _{[see 1 Peter 4:11, NKJV]}.

In this outpouring there will be a knitting together of the Body of MASHIAH into apostolic and prophetic hubs in every part of the Body; each hub with a peculiar Kingdom mandate and perspective. And, each hub will be a composite extract of the Church, beyond denominational boundaries.

As 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 _{[see Prov 9:10b]}, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, ³ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge _{[see Matt 13:11]}. >

We will be knit together in love in circumcised hearts of flesh. In circumcised hearts of flesh we will operate both singularly and corporately in Mount Zion _{[the Mount of YHWH – see Gen 22:14, KJV+NASB]} through the Blood of the LAMB and through the Veil of His Flesh _{[see Heb 10:19-20, NKJV]}!

Disciples of YESHUA: understanding the times; uniting in prayer; knitted together in love actualized through the revelation of YESHUA as the BELOVED in our inward parts; operating by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS, in Spirit, Water and Blood _{[see 1 John 5:8,10a, NKJV; Rev 3:14b, NASB]}, in the Shabbat-Shalom of YHWH; will stand and operate in Kingdom realities unveiled in the Heights _{[see Isa 33:14-17]}, the High Places of Mount Zion _{[see Heb 12:22-24]} where it will be seen and where it will be provided _{[see Gen 22:14, KJV+NKJV]} by Oath of Covenant established in hearts of flesh _{[see Heb 7:28; Jer 1:11-12]} circumcised by the SPIRIT to yield the fragrance of the BELOVED _{[see Rom 2:28-29; Deut 30:6; 2 Cor 2:14-17]}.

As Revelation 10:7 _[NASB] declares: < ⁷ but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets. >

We need to choose to stand as a people consecrated to YHWH through prayer _{[see Isa 59:1-2]}. We need to know how to operate by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS in a Shabbat-Shalom that will unveil our calling and peculiar gift mix in the Witness and Testimony of YESHUA.

We need to choose to be in a communion of the saints so that a necessary knitting together of our inward parts – in Spirit, Water and Blood – is achieved by the SPIRIT _{[see John 17:22-23]}.

The coming revival will be a Kingdom Explosion that will catapult the Body of MASHIAH out of the works of the flesh [flowing out of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil] into the works wrought in GOD _{[see John 3:21, NASB] unfolding as the fruit of the Tree of Life arising out of the Root of David, to give expression to the Offspring of David [see Rev 22:16; Ps 132:11]}.

As YESHUA declared _{[see John 14:12, NASB]}: <¹² “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. >

In the midst of trials and tribulations we will discover the greatness of YESHUA our King in our midst. As Acts 14:22c declares: < “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” >
