Getting To Grips With The Fullness Of JESUS CHRIST (Part 6)

The actualization of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST in our inward parts [see Ephesians 2:10; John 1:16, KJV/NKJV/NASB] flows out of our understanding of the Word of GOD, through the Testimony of JESUS [see Revelation 19:10c; John 16:14-15; Colossians 1:19-20; Ephesians 1:23c; 4:10c].

[It is fascinating that Proverbs 9:10c defines understanding as knowing the Holy One. This knowing is of the substance and witness of YESHUA MASHIAH. All of our thinking [Proverbs 23:7] and function [Col 3:17] must flow in a living hope in JESUS CHRIST [1 John 3:3], that facilitates the substance of His fullness being manifested in our inward parts.]

We can understand the Scriptures in many ways; for example through Law and Principle and through the flow of history. And, these are certainly useful aids.

But, the prophetic design of Scripture, its intent and design of actual fulfillment [see Jeremiah 1:11-12], is exclusive to the Testimony of JESUS [see John 14:6; 6:48-51; Luke 24:44-45].

Scripture clearly declares that the Testimony of YESHUA is the Spirit of Prophecy [see Revelation 19:10c].

The Testimony of JESUS is YHWH’s Testimony – communicated in substance and witness [see Revelation 3:14b] – through the only begotten SON [see John 3:16; 14:6; 17:6, 26] “prophetically positioned” in the bosom of the FATHER [John 1:18, NKJV + NASB].

This prophetic communication in the substance and witness of JESUS CHRIST, which is the Testimony of JESUS, is a revealed reality actualized in our inward parts [see 2 Corinthians 4:16-18]. This actuality in our inward parts is of the substance and witness of YESHUA MASHIAH.

The Testimony of YESHUA is a “prophetic birthing” from the FATHER’s bosom [the depths of GOD – see 1 Cor 2:10], of all that the FATHER has predestined in the fullness of JESUS CHRIST [YESHUA MASHIAH]. See for example Col 1:17-20 and Eph 1:22-23.

The Testimony of YESHUA finds specific expression in a heart of flesh, as an Epistle of MESSIAH (CHRIST) uniquely engineered into us by the HOLY SPIRIT [see 2 Corinthians 3:3, NKJV].

We can understand the prophetic flow of Scripture that unfolds the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets [see Matthew 5:17-18], into us, in the formation of the Epistle of CHRIST – in us – in the following sequence of Scripture:

  • In Exodus 25:16, YHWH declares to Moses that He will give Moses His Testimony.
  • In Exodus 31:18, YHWH gives Moses the two tablets of the Testimony [the two tablets of GOD’s Testimony that prophetically symbolize the Law and the Prophets] written by the Finger of GOD.
  • Exodus 32:16, tells us that the two tablets were the work of GOD and, that the writing on the tablets were GOD’s writing.
  • 2 Corinthians 3:3 [NKJV] tells us that we are an Epistle of CHRIST, written not with ink, but with the SPIRIT of GOD; not on tablets of stone [which Moses received] but in hearts of flesh.
  • The manifestation of a heart of flesh in us was spoken of by the prophet Ezekiel [36:25-27]
  • This heart of flesh is of the substance of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST [John 1:16-17].
  • The heart of flesh created in the substance of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST is the foundational ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT [see John 16:14, 13-15] that specifically defines the disciple of JESUS CHRIST, as an Epistle of CHRIST [see 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV], as a minister of CHRIST [see 1 Cor 4:1, NKJV] and as a minister of the New Covenant [see 2 Cor 3:6, NKJV].
  • The heart of flesh created in the substance of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST is the definitive basis for discipleship, and all forms of ministry, the exclusive work of YHWH.
  • The substance of the fullness of YESHUA defines the man and woman of GOD, as vessels created in MASHIAH YESHUA, in the inward parts [see 2 Cor 4:16; 6-7, NKJV], the exclusive work of YHWH [see Eph 2:10].
  • The heart of flesh created out of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST is to be perfected and completed in a circumcision that is the work of the HOLY SPIRIT [see Rom 2:28-29; Deuteronomy 30:6, 8; Colossians 2:11; Philippians 3:2].
  • Out of a [progressively] circumcised heart of His flesh – uniquely, created in each one of us – grows a witness that operates, by the HOLY SPIRIT, in a true, full and perfected knowledge of JESUS CHRIST as LORD and BELOVED.
  • This witness is the Rhema Testimony of YESHUA alive in us in a Witness, faithful and true [see Rev 3:14b] that operates in Spirit, Water and Blood [see 1 John 5:10a, 8, NKJV] by the HOLY SPIRIT [see Romans 8:2].
  • In this witness we do all things, by the HOLY SPIRIT, in the Name of the LORD JESUS [see Col 3:17; John 14:12-14; 15:7-8, 16; 16:13-15, 23-27].
  • Doing all things by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS is the New Covenant Law of Life, that sets us free from the Law of Sin and Death [see Romans 8:2, 1-4; 3:21-23].

In the prophetic progression of becoming Epistles of CHRIST, in the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, we progressively actualize [see Rev 3:14b, NASB]: “the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God” in our mouth and heart, so that we can be functioning instruments of the living GOD, in fulfillment of all that YHWH instructed Moses [in Deuteronomy 30:14-15].

This is the Rhema of the Logos Word of the Cross [see 1 Cor 1:18; Heb 1:3b; 3:1; 10:19-20, NKJV], the power of ADONAI working within us to give us exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask and think [see Ephesians 3:20].

In this prophetic progression we are being blessed to be a blessing. Amen [see Rev 3:14b, NASB]!

Getting To Grips With The Fullness Of JESUS CHRIST (Part 5)

The fullness of JESUS CHRIST [YESHUA MASHIAH] manifested – by the HOLY SPIRIT – in our inward parts, is the definitive basis for our growth and function in GOD.

And, this is so, given that:

  • The fullness of JESUS CHRIST defines the Body of MESSIAH [see John 1:16, NASB/NKJV/KJV]. And His Fullness is appointed to fill all in all. Ephesians 1:22-23 (NASB) reads: < 22 And He [the FATHER] put all things in subjection under His [YESHUA’s] feet, and gave Him [YESHUA] as head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. > .
  • Colossians 1:19-20 [NASB] declares that: < 19 … it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him [YESHUA], 20 and through Him [YESHUA] to reconcile all things to Himself [the FATHER], having made peace through the blood of His [YESHUA’s] cross; through Him [YESHUA], I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. >
  • All who believe have received the fullness of JESUS CHRIST [John 1:16, NASB; 3:16]
  • Colossians 1:17 [NASB] declares that: < 17 He [YESHUA] is before all things, and in Him [YESHUA] all things hold together. >

The manifestation of the fullness of CHRIST JESUS into our inward parts is a revelation birthed into us from the bosom of the FATHER [John 1:18, 16-18, NKJV] by the HOLY SPIRIT [see 1 Cor 2:10].

This revelation of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST, opened (birthed) and developed by the HOLY SPIRIT into our inward parts [John 16:14; 1 Corinthians 2:10], is the progressive actualization of the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets [Rom 3:21-22; Matt 5:17-18] from the fullness of JESUS CHRIST.

What is revealed of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST, is perfected and completed into our inward parts by the HOLY SPIRIT, as we choose to express the Testimony of JESUS in our thoughts, words, deeds and relationships, so that we are each created in JESUS CHRIST [Ephesians 2:10] in our inward parts of spirit, soul and heart [see 2 Cor 4:16].

The fullness of JESUS CHRIST revealed into us is the Mystery of CHRIST manifested into the Body of CHRIST.

The Mystery of CHRIST manifested, is CHRIST in us, the hope of glory [see Colossians 1:26-28, NKJV; 1 Corinthians 2:7].

The outcome of the revelation of the Mystery of CHRIST is that we unfold as Epistles of CHRIST [see 2 Corinthians 3:3, NKJV] who can operate as Ministers of CHRIST [see 1 Corinthians 4:1] and Ministers of the New Covenant [see 2 Corinthians 3:6].

The ultimate intent is that we will actualize all function in thought, word, deed and relationship – in and by and through the fullness of JESUS CHRIST.

The communication of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST into us is – in the substance [Greek: ‘hupostasis’] and witness [Greek: ‘marturia’] of JESUS CHRIST – worked into our inward parts, by the HOLY SPIRIT [John 16:14].

The substance and witness of JESUS CHRIST defines our call and our every function that expresses our calling.

Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) instructs us that: < 1 … faith is the substance [Greek: ‘hupostasis’] of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. >

We are called to set our hope on JESUS CHRIST – with perseverance and constancy [Romans 5:1-5]. When we set our hope on JESUS CHRIST, the substance of our hope will be of Him.

1 John 3:3 tells us that when we set our hope on JESUS we are purified as He is pure! And, this comes about because the substance of JESUS CHRIST – that manifests out of our hope in YESHUA – is pure and perfect [see Matt 5:48]!

Hope in CHRIST JESUS is the gateway for the substance of JESUS CHRIST taking form within us [see 2 Cor 3:3, 4:6-7, NKJV].

The substance of JESUS CHRIST unveils in the evidence of His Witness within us [1 John 5:10a, NKJV].

The witness within us [see 1 John 5:10a, NKJV] is the functional evidence of faith, which unfolds as the substance of our hope [which is faith], is perfected and completed into us by JESUS, the Author and Finisher of our faith [see Hebrews 12:2a].

The witness that unfolds from the substance of YESHUA’s Fullness is called “the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of GOD” [see Revelation 3:14b; Eph 2:10; 2 Cor 5:17].

This faithful and true Witness is expressed in Spirit, Water and Blood [see 1 John 5:10a, 8, NKJV]. This faithful and true Witness that operates in Spirit, Water and Blood [see John 19:30, 34] is alive in every born-again Christian.

Spirit, Water and Blood, is the [Rhema] Witness of the [Logos] Word of the Cross, the power of the risen CHRIST operating in our inward parts, by the HOLY SPIRIT [see Eph 3:20; 1 Cor 1:18, NASB] in a Witness in Spirit, Water and Blood [see 1 John 5:8, NKJV; John 19:30, 34].

Hebrews 1:3b tells us that the LORD JESUS upholds all things [for fulfillment in the FATHER’s will] by the Rhema Word of His Power. Ephesians 3:20 declares that GOD will give us exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think according to the [Rhema Word of YESHUA’s] power that works within us.

We can now understand that we have an operating system in our inward parts, defined exclusively in the fullness of CHRIST JESUS, that operates by the HOLY SPIRIT – to the FATHER’s glory.

The call of YESHUA in each one of our lives opens and develops in us, in this functional witness that is a living and growing actualization of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST.

In the witness being developed in us, we actualize the capacity to do all things in the Name of YESHUA [see John 14:12-14; 15:16], by the HOLY SPIRIT, in the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets [see Romans 8:2, 1-4; Matthew 5:17]. Amen! GBU.

Getting To Grips With The Fullness Of JESUS CHRIST (Part 4)

Praying the Word, by the HOLY SPIRIT, into our inward parts of spirit, soul and heart, is what facilitates revelation into our being. This is how we actualize change and transformation.

The Word prayed needs to be understood in the Testimony of JESUS; so that when we pray by the SPIRIT, we energize the Word in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA [see John 6:63].

The Word energized in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA reveals and manifests the fullness of JESUS CHRIST into us. This is the Mystery of CHRIST revealed: the formation of CHRIST in us the hope of glory (see Col 1:26-27; Matt 17:2; 2 Peter 1:19).

The LORD JESUS CHRIST, urges us to persistently ask, seek and knock to actualize GOD’s provision.

In Luke 11:5-13 [NASB], the LORD JESUS instructs us: < 5 Then He said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.8 “I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

10 “For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

11 “Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? 12 “Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?

13 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” >

Asking, seeking and knocking are some of the prophetic keys of personal prayer – that stand as functional elements of the Key of David – that unlock revelation knowledge to our inward parts, so that CHRIST is formed in us [see Gal 4:19; Col 1:28; Phil 4:13].

Revelation knowledge involves us actualizing the Word of GOD, in our inward parts, in the fabric of the Spirit and Life of JESUS. We are creatively defined in our inward parts, as we become Epistles of CHRIST [2 Cor 3:3, NKJV; 5:17; Eph 2:10] holding the wealth of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST [2 Cor 4:6-7, NKJV] in radiant hearts of flesh.

This is why we are prophetically addressed as Morning Stars (see 2 Peter 1:19).

1 Corinthians 2:9 [NASB] declares that revelation necessarily involves the desire to love the BELOVED: < “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.” >

The HOLY SPIRIT is the one who leads us through the Key of David (in its formation and development as YESHUA becomes our Beloved) into all truth, even searching the depths of GOD for us.

In John 16:13-15 [NASB], the LORD JESUS declares: < 13 “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14 “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 “All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.” >

In 1 Corinthians 2:7 [NASB], we are told that there is a wisdom predestined for our glory. Paul writes: < 7 … we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory >.

And this wisdom opens into hearts as the HOLY SPIRIT searches the depths of GOD. 1 Corinthians 2:10 [NASB] reads: < for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God >.

And what does the HOLY SPIRIT search the depths of GOD for?

The HOLY SPIRIT searches the depths of GOD to actualize the treasures of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST – the only Begotten SON in the bosom of the FATHER [see John 1:18, KJV; see also John 16:14].

And, this is necessarily so because the LORD JESUS declares in John 16:15, that “all things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He [the HOLY SPIRIT] takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.”

Scripture also tells us that the FATHER has predestined the fullness of JESUS CHRIST to fill all in all [see Eph 1:23].

Hence all that flows by the HOLY SPIRIT is necessarily of the fullness of CHRIST JESUS that the FATHER has ordained to fill “all in all” and “all things” [see Ephesians 1:23; 4:10]. This is the glory of YHWH’s grace opened to us in the BELOVED [see Eph 1:6, NASB].

Hence our callings and our gifting’s, if they are genuinely being operated in and by the HOLY SPIRIT, will always glorify the FATHER and the SON. As 1 John 2:22 [NASB] pointedly declares: < … this is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son >.

Always remember that we are blessed to be a blessing. GBU.

Getting To Grips With The Fullness Of JESUS CHRIST (Part 3)

The actualization of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST – in substance and witness – is what the revelation of JESUS CHRIST manifests in our heart [see Eph 1:17-19; 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV].

The revelation of JESUS CHRIST is the Mystery of CHRIST [see Col 1:26-28] to be manifested and developed in us – to accomplish the FATHER’s purpose.

The fullness of JESUS CHRIST – in substance and witness – specific to each one of us, creates and defines us as peculiar/unique Epistles of CHRIST [see 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV; 4:6-7, NKJV; Eph 2:10; 2 Cor 5:17]

This is the heart of the prophetic Word that unveils and grows from being a lamp – opened in a new birth – into becoming a morning star in our hearts.

2 Peter 1:19 (NASB) reads: < 19 so we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. >

Beginning with the new birth all things from YHWH open to us by revelation.

  • In Deuteronomy 29:29 [NASB], YHWH declares: < 29 “The secret things 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. >
  •  In Mark 4:22 [NASB], YESHUA MASHIAH 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. >
  • In James 1:17 [NASB], the HOLY SPIRIT declares: < 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. >

The morning star in our hearts is the living and growing dynamic – in substance (Gk: hupostasis) and witness (Gk: marturia) – of the prophetic that expresses the fullness of JESUS CHRIST specific to our state of being, in fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets to accomplish the FATHER’s will.

In Revelation 22:16, YESHUA MASHIAH is prophetically addressed as the Bright Morning Star, the Root and Offspring of David.

Revelation 22:16 reads: < “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant (the offspring) of David, the bright morning star.” >

The substance and witness of JESUS CHRIST configured into our inward parts, by the HOLY SPIRIT, defines the specifics of our creation in JESUS CHRIST, in the FATHER’s will. The Specifics are entirely of the substance and witness of JESUS CHRIST (2 Cor 3:3, NKJV; Eph 2:10; 2 Cor 5:17).

As Morning Stars, being created in the substance and witness of JESUS CHRIST, we are prophetically established as descendants (or, offspring) of David [David meaning the well-Beloved] in the flesh of the LAMB fashioned into us (see Eph 5:30, KJV; 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV).

We are descendants of David [or, offspring of David] as the Root of David [the actuality of YESHUA as our BELOVED] takes form in us in substance and witness.

As the revelation of YESHUA as the BELOVED is configured [is perfected and completed] into us [by the HOLY SPIRIT – John 16:14] we become a people after YHWH’s Heart, who will do all of YHWH’s will, as we live in (Rom 8:2), by (Phil 4:19, NKJV) and through (1 John 4:9, NASB) CHRIST JESUS (Gal 4:19; Col 1:28).

Acts 13:22c (YLT) describes David prophetically as: < a man according to My [YHWH’s] heart, who shall do all My will. >

The ‘Morning Star’ is the testimonial [prophetic] reality that is to be developed in the fullness of JESUS CHRIST, in all who understand that they are Epistles of CHRIST, fashioned in hearts of flesh [see 2 Corinthians 3:3, NKJV] in fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets.

The sequence of Scripture flowing from Exodus 31:18 to Exodus 32:16 to 2 Corinthians 3:3, NKJV, explains this dynamic of the prophetic (in fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets) that is essential to every born-again Christian becoming a peculiar Epistle of CHRIST and an actual disciple of JESUS CHRIST.

The ‘Morning Star’ is the Testimony of JESUS developed in us as a specific Epistle of MESSIAH. The root of the Testimony of JESUS is called the Root of David. The living expression of the Testimony of JESUS is called the Offspring of David. And, the functional dynamic of the Testimony of JESUS is called the Key of David [as declared in Revelation 3:7].

The ‘David’ – YESHUA, as the BELOVED, revealed, perfected and completed – in us, in hearts of flesh, describes what we have actualized of YESHUA [as declared in John 1:16-17, NASB+KJV], in His fullness, that will express each one of us “as a man according to YHWH’s Heart, who will do YHWH’s will”.

As YESHUA ADONAI declared in John 16:14, this will come into being through the ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT: < 14 “He will [the HOLY SPIRIT] glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. >

Without ‘David’ being testimonially alive in us, we will be unable to operate our gift’s and callings in accordance with the demands of GOD’s Law [as we see Matthew 7:21-23].

As YESHUA ADONAI declared: < “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” >

And, He must be our well-beloved in a Shabbat-Shalom opened in our inward parts!

Thought For The Day (September 10, 2012): Holding YHWH’s Peace To Actualize Victory & Breakthrough

Exodus 14:14 (KJV) unveils a prophetic declaration: < The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. >

The Word of the Cross (1 Cor 1:18) stands and operates in us in a Witness in Spirit, Water and Blood (1 John 5:8, 10a, NKJV).

The Word of the Cross has opened to us an eternal and abiding reality of the peace that surpasses all understanding. And we can hold this GOD-given and GOD-ordained peace – in the Witness operating in us by the HOLY SPIRIT – to realize the victory YESHUA accomplished on the Cross in the specifics of our being, in our life’s situations and circumstances and, in our ministries.

The Witness – operating in us, by the HOLY SPIRIT (Romans 8:2) in Spirit, Water and Blood (John 19:30, 34) is the faithful and true Witness of JESUS CHRIST (Rev 3:14b).

In the faithful and true Witness, is the Shabbat-Shalom of YHWH, given to us in the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets (Matt 5:17; John 14:27).

YESHUA instructs us as follows in John 14:27 (KJV), < Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. >

In John 16:33 (KJV), YESHUA declares: < These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. >

YHWH has given us a capacity for peace that surpasses all understanding in the Witness in us – in Spirit, Water and Blood.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) reads: < Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. >

“Through CHRIST JESUS” is an operating reality that is opened by the HOLY SPIRIT, in the Witness – in Spirit, Water and Blood.

[Tongues are a powerful tool that facilitates our entry and operation in the Witness, in a Shabbat-Shalom that surpasses all understanding.]

To see victory in our lives; to be overcomers in all kinds of travail; to persevere in the plans of GOD; to actualize breakthroughs; to see healing and deliverance flow in our lives and being; we must “hold the peace” through the Witness in us, by the HOLY SPIRIT, in the understanding that it is YHWH who fights for us and, that in the Blood of the LAMB, victory has been obtained for us.

As Exodus 14:14 (KJV) decrees: < The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. >

This peace (Heb: shalom) is the Witness that stands in Blood; the Blood of the LAMB is the predestined reality in which sin and death have been destroyed (see Rev 13:8, KJV; 12:11, 10-11, 7-9).

This shalom (peace) in the Witness stands in the Oath of GOD sworn in Blood over us and into us by YHWH in the merits of the LAMB.

Hebrews 7:28 reads: < For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever. >

The Witness of peace holds the Word of GOD in the Oath of YHWH that surpasses all understanding. GOD will give us exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works within us (see Eph 3:20).

The power that works within us operates in Spirit, Water and Blood; and stands in a Shabbat-Shalom that surpasses all understanding. This power operates as a consequence of all that YHWH has predestined in the SON, by the  HOLY SPIRIT (see Romans 8:2).

This is prophetically foreshadowed as the heritage of Joseph, who is called a fruitful ‘bough’ in Genesis 49:22. In John 15:4-5 we are referred to as ‘branches’ called to bear fruit.

As Genesis 49:23-24 explains: < “The archers bitterly attacked him, and shot at him and harassed him; but his bow remained firm, and his arms were agile, from the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel)” >.

“His bow remained firm” translates into an inward reality in us, where we stand firm by holding the Peace of YHWH-Shalom in a Shabbat Rest alive by the SPIRIT in our inward parts, where we cease striving and know that GOD is in control and that the victory that we are choosing to appropriate is a ‘done deal’ in the finished work of the cross. In the Witness, the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (see Isa 9:6-7), the Shepherd (see John 9:11, 14, 27) and Stone of Israel (see Matt 16:18-19) operates through us.

This is the peace of YHWH’s Covenant sworn in the Blood of the LAMB that surpasses our understanding of reality, which our Witness can actualize by the HOLY SPIRIT, through prayer and worship. We can preach, teach, counsel, worship and prophesy through this peace.

Tongues are a powerful tool in actualizing the Peace that surpasses all understanding (see also Heb 5:13-14)! Amen!

GBU! Be blessed to be a blessing!

Getting To Grips With The Fullness Of JESUS CHRIST (Part 2)

In Part 1, we ascertained that the fullness of JESUS CHRIST is meant to fill all in all. And the fullness of JESUS CHRIST is communicated through the Body of MESSIAH, the Church.

Two verses testify to this reality:

  • In Ephesians 1:23c (NKJV), the Body of CHRIST (MESSIAH) is described as “the fullness of Him (JESUS CHRIST) who fills all in all”.
  • John 1:16-17 (NASB) tells us that: <16 … of His fullness [the fullness of JESUS CHRIST] 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 actualization of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST is a revelation to our heart.

In this light, 2 Corinthians 3:3 (NKJV) reads: < 3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ … written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart. >

The revelation of the fullness of JESUS CHRIST is called the Mystery. And every member of the Body of CHRIST (MESSIAH) is called to be a participant in the revelation of the Mystery of CHRIST.

Colossians 1:26-29 (NKJV) reads: < 26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. >

Understand that the Mystery hidden from past ages and generations is opened to the inward parts of the disciple of JESUS CHRIST.

Our inward parts are identified in Hebrews 4:12 as being our spirit, our soul and our heart.

We are reminded in 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NKJV) that: < 16 … we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. >

The fullness of YESHUA MASHIAH (JESUS CHRIST) that is to be revealed and developed in our inward parts is the essential and fundamental ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT who indwells us.

In John 16:14-15, YESHUA explains: < 14 “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you. >

The Mystery that comprises the fullness of JESUS CHRIST involves “all things that the FATHER has”!

We need to pursue the fullness of Him that will make us a new creation that is of His fullness!

Ephesians 2:10 (NASB) reads: < For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. >

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NASB) reads: < Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. >

John 1:16-17 (NASB) reads: < For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. >

2 Corinthians 2:6-7 (NKJV) reads: < For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. >

Prayer in an intimacy (see Eph 1:17-19), by the SPIRIT, through worship, is the Key of David that unlocks the treasure of the only begotten SON in the Bosom of the FATHER (see John 1:18;  1 Cor 2:10). GBU!

Getting To Grips With The Fullness Of JESUS CHRIST (Part 1)

In Ephesians 1:23c (NKJV), the Body of CHRIST (MESSIAH) is described as “the fullness of Him (JESUS CHRIST) who fills all in all”.

John 1:16-17 (NASB) tells us that: <16 … of His fullness [the fullness of JESUS CHRIST] we have all received, and grace upon grace. 17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. >

From these two verses we can say that the fullness of JESUS CHRIST defines the Church as the Body of CHRIST. And we can say that the Body of MESSIAH exists to communicate the fullness of JESUS CHRIST – which is defined in the FATHER’s will – to fill “all in all”.

In Colossians 1:19-20 [NASB] we read that: <19 … 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. >

Here we are being told that the fullness of JESUS CHRIST has cosmic implications in being the exclusive basis to reconcile “all things … things on earth or things in heaven” to the FATHER.

In this light, Colossians 1:17 instructs us that: <17 He [JESUS CHRIST] is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. >

Salvation communicates the fullness of JESUS CHRIST into the Body of MESSIAH; and, salvation communicates the fullness of JESUS CHRIST – through the Body of MESSIAH – so that His fullness fills all in all!

What is the fullness of JESUS CHRIST?

Simplistically, the fullness of JESUS CHRIST involves His Status, His Nature, His Character, His Attributes, His Witness and, His functional and relational capacities with GOD and man.

The fullness of JESUS CHRIST is communicated as His Testimony.

The Testimony of JESUS is a communication of His Words in Logos Terms and in Rhema terms.

In Luke 21:33, YESHUA (JESUS) declares: < “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words (Gk: logos) will not pass away.” >

In John 6:63, YESHUA declares: < “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words (Gk: rhema) that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.” >

Revelation 19:10c pointedly declares that the Testimony of JESUS is the Spirit of Prophecy. It follows that the fullness of JESUS CHRIST is the Spirit of Prophecy. The fullness of JESUS CHRIST is the fundamental and necessary basis for the fulfillment of the Prophets.

The character and nature of JESUS CHRIST is the fabric of the Testimony of JESUS that fulfills the Law.

The fullness of JESUS CHRIST is the exclusive basis for the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets.

In Matthew 5:17 the LORD JESUS CHRIST declares: < 17 “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. >

Thought For The Day (September 3, 2012): What The Word Accomplishes

James 1:17-25 gives us an overview of what the Word accomplishes: < 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

18 In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures. …..

21 Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. >

From this passage in James, we understand the following:

A)    GOD brings us forth by the Word of Truth. YESHUA declared that HE is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). In its essence the Word of Truth is the communication of JESUS CHRIST, the WORD of GOD (John 1:1), whose fullness is to fill all in all (Eph 1:23c).

  1. This is why Ephesians 2:10 reads: < For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. >
  2. YHWH uses the Word of Truth to create us. This is the creative work of the HOLY SPIRIT who is called the SPIRIT of Truth (John 14:16-17; 16:13) who creates us in the fullness of JESUS CHRIST (John 1:16-17, KJV/NKJV/NASB) who is the Truth.

 

B)    The Word (of Truth) implanted saves our soul. The Word implanted that saves our soul is the revealed Word worked into our inward parts by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS (Romans 8:2; 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV).

The revealed Word manifests the Light of Life (John 8:12). And this Light of Life is a revelation of YESHUA MASHIAH. YHWH is the FATHER of Lights. And we are Lights called forth through the Word of Truth to actualize every good and perfect gift coming down from the FATHER of Lights!

  1. Deuteronomy 29:29 declares: < “The secret things 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.” >
  2. In Mark 4:22 YESHUA declares: < “For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” 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. For whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.” And He was saying, “The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows–how, he himself does not know. The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head.” >
  3. The Word implanted is communicated in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA (John 6:63b). The Word manifested in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA is the work of the HOLY SPIRIT (John 6:63a). The Word manifested in the Spirit and Life of MASHIAH YESHUA gives expression to the Light of Life. This is the work of the HOLY SPIRIT.
  4. This is why tongues are an effective tool in actualizing revelation knowledge. Because tongues energize the Word, by the HOLY SPIRIT, in the Spirit and Life of YESHUA through the Witness of JESUS CHRIST – in Spirit, Water and Blood – alive in us who are born again (see 1 John 5:10a, 7-8, NKJV).
  5. The use of tongues to obtain revelation knowledge is proclaimed in the Prophets. Isaiah 28:9-12 (NASB) reads: < “To whom would He teach knowledge, and to whom would He interpret the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just taken from the breast? “For He says, ‘Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there.'” Indeed, He will speak to this people through stammering lips and a foreign tongue, He who said to them, “Here is rest, give rest to the weary,” And, “Here is repose,” but they would not listen. >
  6. The Prophets also speak of pure language. Zephaniah 3:9 (KJV) reads: < For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. > This pure language has the intent and design of enabling us to serve YHWH with one consent!

 

C)    Be effectual (effective) doers of the Word (of Truth). Functioning by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS is the Law of Life (Rom 8:2, 1-4). This Law of Life that has been predestined to set us free from the Law of Sin and death communicates Truth in the Testimony of JESUS, by the SPIRIT of Truth makes us free.

  1. We can function in the flesh or, we can function by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS. To effectively walk in the Word of Truth is a walk by the HOLY SPIRIT, in the fullness of JESUS CHRIST through His Witness is Spirit, Water and Blood (see 1 John 5:10a, 8).
  2. The fullness of JESUS CHRIST stands in the fabric of the Spirit and Life of JESUS CHRIST manifested into the fabric of our being by the HOLY SPIRIT through prayer.
  3. Tongues are an effective tool to enable this communication (see 2 Cor 3:3, NKJV).
  4. The Light of Life forms the Armor of Light which is the Armor of GOD (Rom 13:12; Eph 6:11).

 

D)    The practice of the Word (of Truth) unfolds the perfect law of liberty. The perfect law of liberty is the Law of the SPIRIT of Life in CHRIST JESUS that has set us free from the Law of Sin and Death (see Rom 8:2).

  1. By the SPIRIT, through the Witness in Spirit, Water and Blood we can actualize the reality of CHRIST JESUS in us; we can behold the LORD JESUS CHRIST as LORD and BELOVED from our inward parts. This is the Veil of His Flesh opened to us through the Blood of the LAMB in a new and living Way (see Heb 10:19-20, NKJV+NASB). This how we are positioned in the Mount of the LORD (Gen 22:14).
  2. 1 Corinthians 3:17-18 reads: < Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. > GBU!

Thought For The Day (September 1, 2012): The Law Of Life

Romans 8:2 (NASB) reads: < For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. >

The FATHER has predestined (foreordained) actual freedom from the Law of Sin and Death to those who are willing to live by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS.

Romans 8:3-4 (NKJV) reads: < 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, 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. >

Romans 8:1 (NKJV) declares that: < 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. >

All things in Scripture flow into progressive fulfillment by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS. Eternal life, and the capacities to be developed in expressing this eternal life, are a gift that the FATHER has predestined – for progressive revelation and development in us – in His SON.

John 3:16 (NKJV) reads: < For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. >

Eternal life is an outcome the FATHER has predestined for everyone who believes in the SON; believing, in such a manner as to live in what the FATHER has predestined in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT.

In John 16:14 (NASB) YESHUA declares: < He (the HOLY SPIRIT) will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He (the HOLY SPIRIT) will take of Mine and declare it to you. >

YESHUA declares categorically: “All things that the FATHER has are Mine”!

From this statement we can understand that everything the FATHER has predestined for fulfillment is opened and developed in us, by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS.

This is the basis of eternal life.

Living by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS is the Law of Life.

In this predestined reality of life eternal – in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT – is the reality and the actuality of the prophetic, predestined by the FATHER for our well-being (2 Cor 1:20).

This is why Hebrews 1:3 (NASB) declares that: < He (YESHUA) … upholds all things by the word of His power … >. Amen!

This is why 2 Peter 1:19 (NASB) declares: < So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. >

This Morning Star arising in our hearts is the Mystery of CHRIST predestined for revealed manifestation in the Body of MESSIAH, called to be a Bride for the LAMB.

Colossians 1:26-28 (NASB) reads: < the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. >

The Mystery of CHRIST peculiar to each one of us manifests and grows in what Scripture calls the Epistle of CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 3:3 (NKJV) reads: < Clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart. >

Each element of the Testimony of YESHUA (JESUS) is manifested and developed in the peculiar Epistle of CHRIST that we each are; we are a Morning Star in the making; with each Morning Star being a growing measure of the Bright Morning Star (Rev 22:16) expressing the reality and actuality of eternal life freely bestowed in us in the BELOVED, our Husband (Eph 1:6, NASB).

And, we are of our Husband’s flesh and of His bones (see Eph 5:30, KJV/NKJV). This is the construct of the Bride; she is of His flesh and of His bones.

His flesh is the substance of His fullness. His bones represent the structure of His Body; manifested, through His faith authored and perfected into the fabric of our faith and our being – individually and collectively!

As Morning Stars we are living expressions of the Glory of the FATHER’s Grace – freely bestowed on us in the BELOVED (Eph 1:6, NASB). Amen!

All that YHWH has predestined is unveiled in us – grace upon grace – in the Righteousness of YHWH working within us (through our faith in YESHUA) the prophetic reality of eternal life, freely bestowed on us through our faith in YESHUA (Rom 10:9-10; John 3:16).

This is awesome: The Bride is unveiled not by the works of the Law but by the washing of the Water of the Rhema Word (Eph 5:25-27), administered by the HOLY SPIRIT in a washing of renewal and regeneration (Titus 3:5-6), in a reality of grace upon grace (Eph 2:7-10; John 1:16-17) in fulfillment of the Law of the SPIRIT of Life in CHRIST JESUS.

At the highest level, the Law of Life is brought into progressive fulfillment in a Bride for the LAMB. This is why Isaiah 60:1-3 talks about nations walking in the light of our rising.

We walk into this by faith. Everything that we live is predestined in the FATHER’s will to be a living testimony and witness to our faith in YESHUA, by the HOLY SPIRIT. Amen!

GBU as you walk by faith into actualizing the Righteousness of YHWH that will create you to be a Bride for the LAMB.

Arise and shine brethren! This is your destiny by the predestined will of GOD.

By faith GOD will do the miracle He has predestined: to raise a Bride for the LAMB, without spot, wrinkle or blemish from a fallen humanity. Amen!

Thought For The Day (August 31, 2012): We Are Predestined To Be A Bride For The LAMB

All that the FATHER has predestined for us is meant to reveal the Mystery of His Will.

The Mystery of the FATHER’s Will is – exclusively – established and developed in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT of Promise, in accordance with the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5:17-18; John 16:14, 13-15).

Ephesians 1:9-14 (NASB) reads: < He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him 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. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory. In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation–having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory. >

2 Corinthians 1:20-22 (NASB) reads: < For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. >

The Mystery of the FATHER’s Will unveils an astonishing spectrum of realities that we are predestined to actualize – by Promise (2 Cor 1:20; 2 Peter 1:19), through faith – in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT.

All that YHWH has predestined requires our active and continuous response.

At the highest level we are predestined to be a Bride, in GOD’s Righteousness, manifested through the washing with the water of the Word, in renewal and regeneration by the HOLY SPIRIT:

  • Ephesians 5:25-27 (NASB) reads: < Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. >
  • Titus 3:5 (NASB) reads: < He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior >.

 We will actualize this position of being made a Bride, in the Righteousness of YHWH; provided, we respond to GOD in a willingness to be holy and sanctified, in CHRIST JESUS by the HOLY SPIRIT (Rom 8:2). We enter into this reality in a Shabbat-Shalom (Heb 4:9-10) that proclaims the Righteousness of YHWH (Heb 6:19).

The Bride is predestined us be blessed in MASHIAH YESHUA, in heavenly places:

  • Ephesians 1:3-8a (NASB) reads: < Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. >
  • 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NASB) reads: < He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. >
  • Hebrews 10:14 (NASB) reads: < For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws upon their heart, And on their mind I will write them,” He then says, “And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” >
  • Hebrews 12:22-24 (NASB) reads: < But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. >
  • We have come to Mount Zion in a new and living Way. Hebrews 10:19-20 (KJV) reads: < Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh >.
  • The veil of His Flesh is manifested in hearts of flesh. 2 Corinthians 3:3 (NKJV) reads: < Clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart. >
  • These hearts of flesh are circumcised by the HOLY SPIRIT. Romans 2:28-29 reads: < For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God. > See also Hebrews 4:9-10.
  • It is only through a heart circumcised by the HOLY SPIRIT that we will come to love our Husband. Deuteronomy 30:6 reads: < And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. >
  • Two hearts becoming one flesh is the Marriage Covenant consecration. Ephesians 5:29-31 (NKJV) reads: < For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. >
  • Revelation 21:9-11 (NKJV) reads: < Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. > Amen!
  • This is the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the Creation of GOD (see Rev 3:14b).
  • This is the Mystery of the FATHER’s will accomplished in a Bride for the LAMB! Amen!

Brethren we enter into all this, by faith in YESHUA MASHIAH, in the glory of GOD’s grace bestowed on us in the BELOVED from the foundations of the world!
