Keys of the Kingdom: Part One Background
And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His messenger (angel) to make known and exhibit to His servants what must soon come to pass. (Rev. 22:6 Amp.)
Some have thought that because I preach “the kingdom”, and debunk the Rapture lie, that I do not believe in the Church. This is untrue.
My stand is this: I do not hope in the church, yet I have hope for it. I believe that for the church to become mature, It must embrace the kingdom Message, and denounce denominationalism, rapture theology, and Episcopal, Congregational, and Catholic, forms of government.
Beyond the church realm (candlestick) is the “Come up Hither” realm. The journey to this place requires you to go beyond Churchanity. If you love this world, and its trappings and ways, you cannot come up hither. We speak of entering the Holy of Holies.
There is a wisdom that is coming from the most holy place that man must embrace to be victorious and have faith that overcomes this world.
We are called to be overcomers!
There are Teachers, and Prophets, and Apostles , Pastors, and Evangelist, who have come up hither and have the truth that will set men free, and will empower them to be overcomers.
There are keys, which are given to the church, that unlock the greater kingdom dimension that I speak of!
There is a warning that must be preached in the church. It is, “Repent unto the Kingdom”. If the church, which holds the keys of the kingdom, does not repent unto the kingdom, it shall fall into total bondage. (Even more then presently manifesting)
The keys of the kingdom unlock the power of the age to come. We must rule in “dominion”, for it was Jah’s command in Genesis. We must rule from a spiritual throne, as servants of the Most-High King. Christ has done all he intends to do concerning overcoming this world. The cross and resurrection was the victory, and we will see it fully when we believe it fully!
Presently there are winds of change and judgment blowing on the church. The church in its present condition is whorish. Whores and whore-mongers will not have a place of blessing in the eternity of Jah. So the message we preach to the church is: “Repent for the kingdom is at hand.”
Until the church come out of man-made ways and self-gratification it cannot enter the power of God and the revival so awesome that no man could even comprehend it lest His Spirit reveal it. This revival awaits the unlocking of truth (keys) that will cause it to explode on the called of this hour.
Until the church understands the keys, it will never fulfill Jah’s original call, even though Christ has already finished the work. He awaits a believing church.
Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
The keys of the kingdom, are something that unlock doors in the kingdom. They are not keys to the kingdom. The key to the kingdom is "repent for the kingdom is at hand". That is how you get in.
To be continued.
(If this sounds like bad theology to you, if your rapture theology, is about to burst, I’d suggest you find another blog to read).

Having a defined Vision is a must:
Having a defined Vision is a must:
Do you see the call, the Vision?
“You were created to overcome, not just exist. Your joy is in fulfilling Jah’s call, and in nothing else.
Vision is the way to power. Fear will never bring you to power. Vision must be the dynamic force that defines your path. If fear defines your path, you will end in loss.
If you do not have a life vision you will settle for what life allows you to have. It is necessary for you to say no, to offers of compromise, though they be more then you have. If you know your purpose in Jah, you will be aware of everything offered to you that is less.
The wisdom of God is your companion. Wisdom will protect you and bring you to power. The power of God is more to be desired than riches. Your fears, fear the power of God released in your heart. All bondage, is in fear of the power of God released in your life.
Do you see this vision? It is you, operating under the full unction of the Holy One. “ ERP
One of the things Father has being doing with the “Desert Brigade”, is to bring us to the realization that without Him we can do nothing! This is why you have gone through the lack you have experienced. Man is not now nor has ever been your source of provision.
When you find the path to power, an adequate provision will come, so that you might continue on that course. We will see His full deliverance from every loss, if we will learn to trust him.
In the past we have been able to trust personal wealth and the wealth of believers to supply. In this higher call we must tap into the wealth of Nations. Our call leads us on to the Nations. Let the vision define what you will do, not finances or the opinions of others.

The Until of God: Part 2 Understanding our Destiny:
Understanding our Destiny:
To reach our destiny, we must submit our will to our heavenly father. David found out when returning the Ark to Jerusalem that Jah was very interested in the order of His people who carry His glory. There is much information in the pattern in the tabernacle in the wilderness on how we are to approach Jah’s glory.(that will be covered in a later installment)
The present model of man thought up and driven ministry will never be able to carry Jah’s greater glory.
The first great truth we must embrace as we repent unto His kingdom is that Jah moves on men, not buildings or organization.
In our fallen condition we struggle to see how truly important we are to Jah. We are made in His image and after His likeness. Men have hearts and consciences which are able to respond to the Lord. Our Lord does not need a building in order to be worshipped, he needs a heart. Worship is not a business. It is an art. The greater our unity of Spirit in a fellowship, the greater the effect of that ministry will be. No wonder our enemy hates worship. Worship is that degree of praise which brings men to the end of their plans. Worship requires submission. We can thank the Lord, and not be committed to his will. We can praise
Him , and not be submitted to His will. But worship requires a yielded will before Him.
The kingdom and worship go hand in hand. Demons cry out when true worship arrives-that is to say the presence of God. Unity of spirit is essential for continued power against the enemy. We need to have
a fellowship full of men and women submitted to the Lord’s perfect way. If we did, we’d see immediate change in church. Each church must have a single vision. Until we come to a place of bowing to the Lord’s vision for that ministry, we have no true fellowship.
There is no amount of coaxing, praying, explaining, or proclaiming a vision to a people that will work if the people have another agenda. Anyone who does not fit the vision of a ministry is trouble. If Jah called a ministry or the Set minister, then that vision is the vision. Two visions are division.
The heavenly pattern is clear as it is displayed in the older covenant.
-Priests are to wear their father’s robes for seven days before being sent into the work of the Lord. All ministry is to be called out by a Father.
-The church structure is to be saturated in oil. Without the Holy Spirit there is no ministry.
These two prerequisites disqualify almost all church-ministry done in this day.
Add to that, this:
- A church must be led in the vision of one (the set ministry) but held within the framework of a presbytery or elder ship. The vision is to be single, the work is to be shared.
If we fail on any of these points the ministry will fail.
No man has all a fellowship needs. The Ark is to be carried by a fellowship of priestly believers on their shoulders. If this is not the pattern we follow, the Ark will never return to its resting-place on Mt. Zion.
We must understand that a key to seeing the power of God is that true worship would be restored in the fellowship of believers. This cannot be over-emphasized. The Lord is not asking us to build a house for him made of wood. He wants a broken and a contrite spirit. He will build the house. (Heb 5:4)
The ministry of the body is multifaceted. It is as a diamond that has different facets that reflex light in a different way. The vision of a ministry must be single. This truth does not change. The call is without repentance. Singleness of vision is essential for success.
Anyone who comes into a ministry through any door but through the gate God has provided is a wolf. If a man will not submit to the vision in joy, that man will be trouble. If a man says he submits to pastor but does not honor the presbytery, he is a liar.
We all make judgments concerning right and wrong. We are not called to judge hearts. Anyone who judges the heart intent of another should be avoided liked the plague. Certainly all are required to take the preached word to the written, for witness and examination. This is a judging of the preached word.
We are not required or allowed to judge the heart of the priesthood. Yet we do know others by their works.
Prophetic prophet, hear my word. If we let men into fellowship without requiring them to pass tests of loyalty and unity to the vision, we will end up watching them lead our flocks over cliffs of delusion.
Our called destiny is to overcome this world with our faith. Our destiny is to glorify our father in all the earth. Our Father is glorified through us becoming “one” with the son. Two in peaceful-unity fulfill that call. Ten thousand gathered in quiet tension do not.
Beloved we are already sons of God. Faith and His grace have brought us thus far. Not only are we sons now, we are becoming sons. There is a progressive work going on in our hearts.
Rom 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Remember David restored the Ark to Mt. Zion:
Psa 69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not away.
David also gave organization and rules for worship. It matters how we worship!
Jhn 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Jhn 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. Isa 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the LORD of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his glory. Hab 3:3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. Jhn 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 1Jo 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith
1Ch 15:16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
There is no worship without the Holy Spirit. No amount of liturgy will suffice. Order in worship is to follow the spirit. Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. In this Spirit and truth, Holy Spirit worship, we please Jah. In this we experience our destiny, which it to glorify Him eternally.
Worship and the wise heart:
Exd 28:3 And thou shalt speak unto all [that are] wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
Without a committed group of wise hearted individuals in the church, you will not have a continuation of worship. We hold gifts in earthen vessels. Our ministries are to be worked in with the ministry of others.
Ministry to the body is multifaceted. Those who minister unto the body, are a “type”, of the OT Priests. Now we realize that in Newer Covenant reality, all who know our Lord and have His Spirit are Priests.
Wisdom is rare: Only Wise-hearted individuals are able to make up garments for set ministry priests so that they might minister continually in their office. If the priesthood is not covered by the prayers and gifts
of their flock they will eventually run out of anointing for that group. The priest is responsible to keep himself unto the word or full of Spirit-word. But the congregation is responsible to make up the garments that hold the oil on his skin so that the ministry does not dry up. As the set minister is a type of Jesus unto a congregation giving them teaching direction and word, the wise hearted in the congregation are to be
a type of Jesus who baptizes the man of God through pouring out of spirit upon him.
1Th 3:10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
Jer 23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
All lack in the priesthood speaks of the lack of wise hearted among the fellowship. Without wisdom, we do not enter into Spirit and Truth worship. Without Spirit and Truth worship, the body will be lacking in many good things. Why do we not see more miracles?
To make up garments for the priest is to ensure his ability to operate in the anointing. With garments the oil will never dry and so long as the people minister to the minister the oil will not wain.
Every time you have fought the order of a house of God, you have ensured lack in your own life!
Ps 133:2 [It is] like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, [even] Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
The congregation of believers receive from the anointing that flows from the set ministry priesthood. Be wise!
Don’t Blow your Cover:
In the sixties there was an out of order doctrine going around called, “Shepherding”. In that system an elder took full responsibility for all the development of a learner. It was a bit over the top, but much to be desired rather then the pendulum swing that was to come. Which is the way it is now, where mere lads have become our princes and wisdom has been denied the people.
Today’s church is weighed in the balance and found wanting.
The yuppie church of today has completely thrown away the wisdom of the true apostles, who have not even been recognized in today’s out-of-order aberration, which many call church. We instead have boy teachers-though they may have seminary degrees- who have never walked with a father, therefore they do not have a double portion.
Blessing or Cursing will increase in each generation, according to the next generation’s willingness to
walk with the former until it is released unto its destiny.
Essential to walking in the fullness of our call, is the connection of generations. If we reject the teaching and mentoring of the former generation, the church will be stuck in immaturity and will never find its place of dominion over the earth.
We will cover that in a future installment of this series.

The Until of God part one Understanding our Plight
The “until” of God, the ministry of the saints: Understanding our plight
The church is in transition. It is becoming something. There is arising in the church a “now” kingdom dimension so astounding that it beggars description, yet few even know it is happening. This is sad, for we see in the church today a real exuberance in worship activity. However, this does not mean that true worship is becoming greater.
We will know when worship is what Jah desires it to be, when we see it bring a sword that divides. Worship in spirit and truth is offensive to the carnal. When a person who is bound by tradition, begins to see true worship arise, and the change it brings, they become irritated and usually fight it tooth and toenail.
Even though they fight, they will fail to stop this transition. Worship is a key to power.
We embrace the transition. We embrace the new. We desire to be like Jah. We desire His holiness and His power. We must not fear change.
There are some things that are unchanging in God, and some things that are variable. We have a problem when we in the church make things that are variable, doctrines of the church. I write of the place where religious traditions, begin and from that grow through the generations to become nothing less than an abomination. The church is filled with abomination. The church is filled with religious witchcraft.
Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness and said, “look and live”. It brought life for those who obeyed in Moses’ day. However seven hundred years later it is called “Nepuistan”, (a piece of brass) and is now an idol. What once brought life, becomes an idol when it is made a standard. It was a variable, nothing more.
Any thing we involve ourselves in that is less than the present call of Jah, is idolatry. Our Lord must be seen, in the church. Our Lord must be seen in the earth. We are mandated to glorify Him in all the earth. This will not happen until He is first glorified among His people. I do not speak of building an earthly temple made of bricks, but the establishment of His kingdom in the hearts of His people. This is why there is so much focus on the people of God today. It is not miss-focus. The people must become something new. The transition has been hard in many cases. The solution to the problem of our out-of-order church, is two-fold.
First: There must be a renewing of the Holy Ghost in the people of God. Indeed, there is a progressive sanctification so needed in this day, in the church, that it is the church that has foremost grieved the Spirit of Jah.
Second: There must be change in the structure of the corporate church.
We are becoming saints. We need a proper structure to facilitate that change.
We know that Jah builds His church. The one he builds, will be one that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against. Individually we must embrace the holiness we are called unto. Yet, even in the most Godly, we are but witnesses of the grace He has shared with us. Individually we can grow strong in the Lord and do exploits. But, what if we were part of a whole group of maturing saints? Ah, that is what must happen in this day. We cannot build a God church with a man pattern.
An order problem:
We have an order problem in the church. We are bound to immaturity in the church so long as our government is out of order church. We are suffering first, because we do not walk in His grace. Therefore, we promote flesh and despise Spirit. This is a sorrowful situation. The traditions of men have negated the power of God. We pattern our selves and judge ourselves by ourselves.
David wanted to build Jah a temple. God rather wanted to build his own home to dwell in. He was and is after a resting-place, in our hearts. What we build for God is never God enough.
If our Lord is still intent upon building His temple, we must know that it is He has a plan. It is He, who will start from the foundation, and build upon it.
What is the foundation of our faith? The foundation of our Faith is Christ. Not other men!
1Cr 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1Cr 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
The early church erred in that it was caught in following personalities of they who operated in the gifts.
This cause scisms. Thank God for the gifts in your fellowship, but do not worship the gifted!
And:
1 Cor. 3:11. He builds the church. The kingdom is not built. It is already extant. It is righteousness, peace, and joy, in the Holy Spirit. The church consists of people who are baptized into Christ.
The kingdom is found in the Holy Spirit. We do not build God’s kingdom!
Now the trouble we have in the harlot church of this day is that it is a harlot. (Duh).It is trying to perform an intimate service but is not pure.
It is out of order. Ah.
It is not built upon the foundation of Christ. It has been built by man not by God, on man ideals, not God truths. (carnal reasoning, not Holy Spirit revelation)
There are two ways man error, this tends to play out in local fellowships.
The first and most prevalent is a church ruled by vote of the people. This is the Nicolaitian spirit at work. It tends toward Gnosticism, named after Nicholas of Antioch who was a Gnostic Heretic.
The Second is by rule of dominant leadership who listen little to the prophetic voice of the fellowship. (hireling rule)
These two errant governmental patterns tend to promote performance-based church. They are always filled with offended people. So long as this system is extant, the people will live in offense.
The only true government for the church is through Gifts, administrations, and operations. This pattern uses all of God’s people, in their gifts to bring forth fullness. It is the one that is built on the foundation that is Christ. (anointed)
The process of transition:
If a church realizes its government is out of order, it must be changed by cooperation of leadership within the fellowship. No one man will be able to bring about needed change.
1 Cor. 12:5 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
The process will play out something like this. Gifts will bring forth truth and change. Key people will come to realize the error. They will repent. They will them approach others concerning needed change.
The ideal I promote here is that “Jah has an order”. We need to embrace it! Selah
The more people in a fellow ship that see a need for change, the greater the chance of successful movement from churchanity to a kingdom fellowship. Our change is to simply do it God’s way.
We will either have God’s order, or we will have a mess. To accept the change, we will need new wineskins filled with new wine.
To live in kingdom power, we must repent unto the kingdom!
Repentance unto the kingdom is the door through which we enter the now kingdom. To have new wineskins, repentance is the first step. Jah’s government cannot be held in an old wineskin. Churches that try to implement kingdom government in a church paradigm will see the wine spilled as the wineskin burst.
The Smell of Death:
As the prophetic brethren and Apostles begin to establish kingdom order, we will see two reactions, based on heart condition of a fellowship.
2Cr 2:16 To the one [we are] the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who [is] sufficient for these things?
You will be embraced as life, by those who love God, and death by those who love religion.
No matter how hard the path is for each of us, in this transition, the process will go on, until all come to a unity of faith. It could take centuries for this to take place.
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
Fullness the Goal:
The goal we strive for, the high call, is the fullness of Christ.
Rom 4:16 Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Rom 10:4 For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Our striving is simply to be engulfed in Christ.
-As we are engulfed in him, we no longer need to make our own pattern, we see His.
-As we are engulfed in Him, we no longer need man’s ways, we have His.
Unless the church embrace the process of change that is upon it we will be in a continual judgment called immaturity. We are in transtition until all come to a unity of faith!
Continued soon:
The church is in transition. It is becoming something. There is arising in the church a “now” kingdom dimension so astounding that it beggars description, yet few even know it is happening. This is sad, for we see in the church today a real exuberance in worship activity. However, this does not mean that true worship is becoming greater.
We will know when worship is what Jah desires it to be, when we see it bring a sword that divides. Worship in spirit and truth is offensive to the carnal. When a person who is bound by tradition, begins to see true worship arise, and the change it brings, they become irritated and usually fight it tooth and toenail.
Even though they fight, they will fail to stop this transition. Worship is a key to power.
We embrace the transition. We embrace the new. We desire to be like Jah. We desire His holiness and His power. We must not fear change.
There are some things that are unchanging in God, and some things that are variable. We have a problem when we in the church make things that are variable, doctrines of the church. I write of the place where religious traditions, begin and from that grow through the generations to become nothing less than an abomination. The church is filled with abomination. The church is filled with religious witchcraft.
Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness and said, “look and live”. It brought life for those who obeyed in Moses’ day. However seven hundred years later it is called “Nepuistan”, (a piece of brass) and is now an idol. What once brought life, becomes an idol when it is made a standard. It was a variable, nothing more.
Any thing we involve ourselves in that is less than the present call of Jah, is idolatry. Our Lord must be seen, in the church. Our Lord must be seen in the earth. We are mandated to glorify Him in all the earth. This will not happen until He is first glorified among His people. I do not speak of building an earthly temple made of bricks, but the establishment of His kingdom in the hearts of His people. This is why there is so much focus on the people of God today. It is not miss-focus. The people must become something new. The transition has been hard in many cases. The solution to the problem of our out-of-order church, is two-fold.
First: There must be a renewing of the Holy Ghost in the people of God. Indeed, there is a progressive sanctification so needed in this day, in the church, that it is the church that has foremost grieved the Spirit of Jah.
Second: There must be change in the structure of the corporate church.
We are becoming saints. We need a proper structure to facilitate that change.
We know that Jah builds His church. The one he builds, will be one that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against. Individually we must embrace the holiness we are called unto. Yet, even in the most Godly, we are but witnesses of the grace He has shared with us. Individually we can grow strong in the Lord and do exploits. But, what if we were part of a whole group of maturing saints? Ah, that is what must happen in this day. We cannot build a God church with a man pattern.
An order problem:
We have an order problem in the church. We are bound to immaturity in the church so long as our government is out of order church. We are suffering first, because we do not walk in His grace. Therefore, we promote flesh and despise Spirit. This is a sorrowful situation. The traditions of men have negated the power of God. We pattern our selves and judge ourselves by ourselves.
David wanted to build Jah a temple. God rather wanted to build his own home to dwell in. He was and is after a resting-place, in our hearts. What we build for God is never God enough.
If our Lord is still intent upon building His temple, we must know that it is He has a plan. It is He, who will start from the foundation, and build upon it.
What is the foundation of our faith? The foundation of our Faith is Christ. Not other men!
1Cr 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1Cr 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
The early church erred in that it was caught in following personalities of they who operated in the gifts.
This cause scisms. Thank God for the gifts in your fellowship, but do not worship the gifted!
And:
1 Cor. 3:11. He builds the church. The kingdom is not built. It is already extant. It is righteousness, peace, and joy, in the Holy Spirit. The church consists of people who are baptized into Christ.
The kingdom is found in the Holy Spirit. We do not build God’s kingdom!
Now the trouble we have in the harlot church of this day is that it is a harlot. (Duh).It is trying to perform an intimate service but is not pure.
It is out of order. Ah.
It is not built upon the foundation of Christ. It has been built by man not by God, on man ideals, not God truths. (carnal reasoning, not Holy Spirit revelation)
There are two ways man error, this tends to play out in local fellowships.
The first and most prevalent is a church ruled by vote of the people. This is the Nicolaitian spirit at work. It tends toward Gnosticism, named after Nicholas of Antioch who was a Gnostic Heretic.
The Second is by rule of dominant leadership who listen little to the prophetic voice of the fellowship. (hireling rule)
These two errant governmental patterns tend to promote performance-based church. They are always filled with offended people. So long as this system is extant, the people will live in offense.
The only true government for the church is through Gifts, administrations, and operations. This pattern uses all of God’s people, in their gifts to bring forth fullness. It is the one that is built on the foundation that is Christ. (anointed)
The process of transition:
If a church realizes its government is out of order, it must be changed by cooperation of leadership within the fellowship. No one man will be able to bring about needed change.
1 Cor. 12:5 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
The process will play out something like this. Gifts will bring forth truth and change. Key people will come to realize the error. They will repent. They will them approach others concerning needed change.
The ideal I promote here is that “Jah has an order”. We need to embrace it! Selah
The more people in a fellow ship that see a need for change, the greater the chance of successful movement from churchanity to a kingdom fellowship. Our change is to simply do it God’s way.

The Come up Hither Realm
There is a realm of the Spirit in music, where we are able to lose our resistance to God. We enter this realm through seeking, yet we know it is through a door of grace that we come. We must always seek this door to the supernatural glory realm. Yet, there are dangers. We know that Satan himself can enter as an angel of light. Yet we traverse on for we also know that there is a thing so holy that we seek that it beggars description.
Most of the winds of the spirit we have experienced have been winds that have blown from the holy place, through the outer court. Now we seek to purposely enter into that spiritual place where God dwells fully. He is the fullness. He is the fire, the wind, the presence. This place is the Holy of Holies, and its wind is new.
In churchanity, this realm is seldom even approached. They who worship in Spirit and in Truth are the only ones who find this place. When this dimension is entered, art, prophecy, healing, miracles, and gifts are released. The most noticeable aspect of this place is peace. In fact even as we approach this level of worship peace increases.
In today’s church we have music that is so pasteurized that it is palatable even to those who do not know our Lord. True worship will bring attack from the enemy. They who do not know the most holy wind level of worship often don’t even believe in the Devil. Selah
A few years ago I laid hands on certain individuals for worship release. (A drummer and a pianist) By now the seed that was planted should have begun to do its work. I have not seen them since. But I trust there was and impartation that cannot be denied. This impartation should be growing, and if so it will have made them completely sick of churchanity. Yet, Faith without works is dead. My prayer in essence, was the release of grace or the ability to obtain, yet if there has been no seeking on their part, the realm of which that grace called them to, will not be seen by them. Jah rewards seekers.
God has done all he needs to do. We must seek. This is worship which leads to the "come up hither" realm of spirit. This is beyond the church realm. To keep in step with church, will be to say "no", to this realm of worship.
This realm, The Kingdom, is what this blog is witness to. It is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Spirit.
I started this message speaking not just of this realm but of a danger associated with seeking it. There is a false music that is being portrayed as true worship. I could here go into detail, but I will say if you are satisfied with today’s cloned worship approach, this message is probably not for you. It takes faith to approach new levels of intimacy with Jah.
Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Luk 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

It is Time to Become
The Lord seems to be calling to us more and more, confirming in our spirits, the need for a continuance of declarative prayer.
Prayer causes things to change. Declarative prayer is that which releases Jah's power through his called intercessory priesthood, fulfilling the mandate that men ought always to pray. Also that we should proclaim his word to this age.
Often declarative prayer will change the atmosphere around us.
Luk 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Hbr 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
It is time we become Intercession. It becomes one with who We are, not just what we do. We are the same, in unity as Father and Son. Intercession is made up of the substance of our being.
Intercession is more than prayer. It is becoming a mediator, a priest, Intercession.
Intercession is not judgemental, it is done as an advocate.
We must know that our authority is directly related to the degree of obedience we have displayed in the Lord. Apostolic authority or the "kingly" is directly related to obedience. To walk in his grace it to obey. Not jot and tittle, law based, but a heart that is pure and free in truth.
We declare the New day is at hand! Seize the day...
It certainly is an exciting five year-day we have experienced, and we can be assured that our time of transition will now yield to this day of becoming. This time of transition has included dark nights, lack, betrayal and now the realization that we cannot get to Father's best from here. This very well may mean an uprooting and a moving on.
We trust we now move into the day of becoming.
Pray for us and proclaim with us, that our Lord will order our steps though unto completion.
Phl 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:

Phl 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:
Though He Slay Me
As you become more and more aware that the testing you have been through has been designed of God and not just he attack of the devil, it will give you confidence that Jah truly has a plan for your life to bring you to a sure end.
You have pressed through the outer court and have learned in the candlestick realm, then you saw the rent vale and chanced the most holy walk. To trust Jah is not a risk. Though He slay you, yet shall you trust Him.
All the evil, all the thief’s work, all the work of the accuser, all the work of the faithless, have made you strong. They have become your beloved enemy.
You know their ways are evil. You see clearly every effort they employ to bring you under their spell. The storms they bring are their opportunity for deliverance, but can be quite overwhelming to you if you do not find your Secure place each day, in Jah.
They cannot see inner court revelation from their place in the outer court and beyond. The trying of your faith brings you patience. Let her have her perfect work so that you man of God might be perfect, lacking nothing.
Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1Pe 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
1Pe 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.
Remind yourself that it was our Lord himself who set up this sanctifying process. He preordained the certain aspects of each reality in the temple. When you were outer court you had outer courts realities, yet now as you have entered the Most holy, everything has changed. Embrace the tree of life in this storm. It is bringing power.
The people around you do not know who you are and for what you are being prepared. Your only need is to continue to speak the truth in love. Their words are the words of immaturity and paganism. Do not let them discourage you.
This testing is not really about them.
The degree that you allow the hardships you are in to put you into complaining mode, is the degree of deliverance needed to fully embrace the Ark of His glory. You are still passing through the Vale if you doubt His deliverance.
Get it in your heart, He will slay you. Yet, as the vale is rent in your heart, you will see His greater glory.
Some face loss of homes, court dates, cold in the winter, continual accusation. These things will pass. He knows you have need of provision. Seek first His kingdom and its righteousness.
Behold the Lamb. Remember, the pattern is heavenly.

The Prophet and Seer
From ERP:
"Since the prophetic renewal of the seventies, the Lord has been increasing His use of dreams and visions to inform, prepare, and warn His prophets of things that are coming.
The prophetic expression is most often understood as falling out through ministries we call Prophet, and Seer. In the past, the ministry of these gifts has come in ebb and flow. Outpouring, and adjustment to the outpouring.
In this day the Lord is pouring out in a greater fashion then ever. Do embrace this anointing.
The Lord is stirring up these two gifts at this time. Be open, be aware, believe."
We must hon our observation skills. We are being bombarded with misdirection from the enemy, but if we will be at peace with the Lord, which is obedience, and if we will be aware of that which is going on in our lives, we will have the information we need to win the present battle we fight with Mammon in this world, and Baal in the church.
It would be good to write down everything that you feel the Lord is saying. If you write down what ever you hear, it will keep you from evaluation the message as it comes. Although some understanding is immediate, not all is. Much Of Jah's revelation has been lost due to evaluation as the message is received.
Write down the word, then ask for the interpretation. If you recieve immediate understanding, make sure the understanding rests on the truth of the Scripture.

The Pattern is Heavenly
When you take religion out of the Church that which is left, is kingdom. It is righteous, peace and joy, in the Holy Spirit.
The church coming into order, is kingdom. The pattern is heavenly. The kingdom manifesting now, is what is lacking in most end times theories you hear on TBN. They tend to put it off in the never-never land of the millennium.
When we bow to the king, not the church or the ministry, the kingdom is at hand. Where ever there is performance based church, the kingdom has not come.
Written for my friends who attend AI Schofield influenced churches. (Assemblies, Four Square, Baptist, Methodist, Oneness Pentecostal, etc)
If you believe in the rapture as men flying through the air, this web blog is not for you...or is it?

The Anointing
The power of the age to come, is coming to us. We have the Spirit of Jah this day living in us. We have an unction, an anointing that works in and through us. It is increasing to break the enemy.
There is a specific anointing for this season. We are in an extreme time and there is upheaval that is come upon us. We must fight the good fight of faith. Kingdoms are colliding. The battle of the ages rages ever greater. You must embrace the anointing to walk on into power.
The Lord will be strong in the things that he has called you to. He is with you. Fear not.
God's creation is crying out for the manifestation of the Sons of God. There is a difference between you and others. You have the Spirit. The Spirit is your source for emotional stability . The world will display less and less stability. The Spirit is the power of God in you.
The joy of the Lord is your strength. Rejoice in Him. Release worship today. The fast He desires is that you would obey. He desires you to seek Him, and separate yourself from they who do not. This is a season of impartation through the troubles of this life. Patience must have her perfect work.
The anointing shall break the yoke.

The Generational Blessing
In the midst of all that is going on around us, in the midst of our ministries, we make many decisions. The ultimate decision we make as we grow in wisdom is, will we invest our time and energies, into developing what we are building for this day, or will we seed the majority of our life into the next generation.
If we build for today, we may have man's praise in this day. If we build for today, we may have the blessing of those who live in the present. If however we seed most of our life into bringing the young into their righteous place, we will affect the coming generations, in a greater way.
Four is a qualifying number in the bible. For Eldership we look for:
Exd 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people 1)able men, 2)such as fear God, 3)men of truth, 4)hating covetousness; and place [such] over them, [to be] rulers of thousands, [and] rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
These are the qualifying virtues of men who should be leading the church. According to gifting and call, they will be rulers of differing amounts of peoples.
This speaks of a process that they have gone through to reach maturity. In the older testament the young priests were required to wear their father's robes for seven days before they were allowed to minister.
Our nation is suffering greatly because an "out-of-order church" has promoted men beyond their preparation. The judgment of the boy teachers on the church has manifest accordingly, in the nation in the fact that a large number of young men hold positions that they do not have the wisdom for.
Let's here focus on the church. These young lads, in the church are not qualified for leadership. But they lead. Because of this the church has babies having babies, and perpetual immaturity is the result. Then of course the judgment that has hit the church goes on into the society.
We dare not preach that the world "repent", if we are not calling for the same in the church.
The blessing of God would go a thousand generations if the church would repent unto the kingdom. The first thing that must happen to bring repentance and power back to the church, is that the father's hearts must turn to the young.
I will deal with this subject in detail later.
For now our proclamation is: Lord come, Establish your kingdom in our hearts that we might be an ensample to the church and the world.

Present Judgment
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. JOEL 2:14)
In the present time of judgment in this land, the American financial institutions have been shaken. Sadly, there have been banker executive who have profited greatly from the bailout shake down by Bush and Congress. The need for a bailout speaks of the need for change in the financial workings of this nation. Judgment is meant to bring peoples into awareness that what they are doing is wrong.
The bailout negates this.
The ripple effect of the last twenty years of free-trade intoxication, and the blatant war mongering of Bush 2, has destroyed the economy of the US. Many Bush associates have gotten stinking rich from the wars, including Bush 1 and Cheney. This nation will not recover, by election, it will only recover by truth and repentance.
For the individual believer in Jah of this nation, the day has come to wake up and see that Jah, is requiring a change in all of this nation. The church will change or continue in the judgment of the "Boy Teachers". (Isa 3) Perpetually immaturity will mark the church lest it repent unto the Kingdom. The kingdom prophet must be heard.
The kingdom prophet is rejected because he is the smell of death to Churchanity. The Babylonian church closes its ranks and rejects anyone who preaches Kingdom truth.
Kingdom prophet, you do not know how many are in the valley of decision. You do not know how many would repent if they heard your message. Jah's heart is love. The melt down in this society is His love in action. He must open a door for your message. Everything that is not Him, in they who are called to His kingdom must fall.
The turmoil in your nation, is a reflection of the turmoil in your spirit. You are birthing something New. Your prayers are being released from the substance of your life. They may be desperate prayers, they may be doctrinal prayers, but trust that they are powerful to the tearing down of this Mammon stronghold in America, and the Baal stronghold in the church.
Jah's purpose is to bring many to Himself through this. I think it would be wrong to say He has done this thing. I think rather in judgment he gave us over to our own hearts, and the hubris of our leaders, both church and political have brought this thing upon the nation.
When Adam would not obey, he was ousted from his place of security. When the peoples of Noah's day would not hear, Jah let the rain sweep them away. In the trouble it is natural that we might say: "Deliver us from the trouble Lord".
But Jah's way is higher. He will deliver us through the trouble. Jesuah asked that the cup of man's sin might pass from him. Yet His resolve was to do the will of the Father. If Jah were to bail you out from this trouble, it would negate the deliverance planned.
"Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? “Father, save Me from this hour?” But for this purpose I came to this hour."
We too, must fulfill the purpose of the Father. Crises is the point of true understanding of the cost of your decision to follow and continue to follow Him. I cannot tell you that things are going to be better soon. This judgment is unto desolation, so that the righteous may arise and words of deliverance might be heard.
In my daily walk I often deal with young men and women who have been trusted with authority above their preparation and wisdom. This sickens me. This judgment, these young lads in leadership, has caused the rejection of the words of men and women who are far more seasoned and balanced. I see this at the Music store, in the Church Meeting, and in the Government.
Until the hearts of the young turn back to their fathers, they will steal their glory. But the scripture states very clearly that it is the father's first move. Only one who is broken can love these boy teachers who run toward the edge of a cliff shouting: "They'll do it their way."
Luk 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Kingdom prophet, we who teach others, must hear the word of Elijah, and turn to our sons. They falter in many ways. They call on us and shift blame, and lay doubt, in fear. If you are not sure of what you are called to you, you might fall in despair as well in their crises. (Rom. 12:1-2)
My personal call is to bring order into the church, and to restore true praise/worship, which I never took away. The kingdom message is my only message. Every song sung, and every meeting led, is with that focus in mind. Jah's place is to use what He gave me to do and be, to bring about change. He is faithful and the Word will accomplish the task it has been sent to do.
As an archer preparing to shoot his arrow, so our lord shows us a target and them seems to pull us the arrow away from fulfilling our call. Fear not when this happens, for you are just about to be released for the ride of your life. There are many who need your word, to make their decision to follow on plausible.

Repent for the Kingdom is at Hand
The great Battle I have seen within the church in the last six years, is its battle against its maker. The church has warred with Jah for control of the kingdom. This war has been played out through a spirit of indifference for God, and His commands.
We of course know that the church will eventually need to bow to the Lord. However I see little evidence that true repentance of this humanism is taking place.
This battle is futile. Let God arise and scatter his enemies. The time is now for repentance. The kingdom is taken by the violent-They who weild the sword of the Lord.

On what do you Build?
Luk 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

Run Out on a Rail
What ever you can believe for you can be so long as Christ was it first. In the old doctrines of the church we taught the five fold ministries as stopping places for individuals. If you were a pastor, that is where you stopped. Etc.
In kingdom thinking I am all of these things for Christ is. I am in Christ therefore, I am an Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Teacher and Pastor as was He.
Now if you'd say or teach this truth at the local Assemblies' church they would run you out on a rail. In my opinion, that would not be a bad thing.
Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
His righteousness, His peace, and His Joy!

A Word from Bill Brittan
"Eagles are symbolic of a certain class of Christians. "But they that wait upon the Lord… shall mount up with wings as eagles" (Isaiah 40:31). The "mounting up" process is important and necessary to the Sons of God who are to be caught up to the throne of God, conformed to the image of the Son of God and rule and reign with Him forever. But it only comes to those who will wait in His Presence until the Glory that shines from His face changes them from the image of the earthly into the image of their Heavenly King. Not everyone who enjoys the blessings of God's grace and who believes in Jesus Christ to the saving of their souls will destroy the idols of earth that stand in the temple of their hearts, and pay the price to go on with God to heavenly places. But God has predestinated those whom He hath foreknown, and He has purposed that His glory shall be manifested in them. What opportunity! What glory! What a high calling! Praise God for His unsearchable riches, and for His love and mercy to the sons of men!"
Eagle saints have a special training all their own. The flutter of His wings make us think sometimes that He is going to beat us to death. But the Bible says that if we do not receive His chastisement, it is a good sign that we are not Sons. When we are finally willing to leave the nest, trusting completely upon Him, then He takes us into heights of glory never before experienced. Well, everything seems wonderful, and we are rejoicing in our new and glorious experiences. Then suddenly the bottom drops out, and He is not there. As we drop from the dizzy heights of glory to the depths of gloom and despair, we flop our feeble wings desperately and unsuccessfully, and wonder why God has left us to perish like this. Suddenly He is there! And as He bears us on eagles wings back into the heavens, our strength and joy returns. Only to find that the process must be repeated. Over and over, until finally we find ourselves able to use our God-given "wings" and be sustained on high by the power of His strength within. .....
But some that are offered Sonship, as eagle saints, refuse to move into this realm. They rebel against the processing of God. They resent being placed in the furnace of fire. They love the nest on high, the safety of His wings, but they despise the chastening, the discipline, the necessity of learning to stand alone in the heavenlies. He is patient. He is longsuffering. He works with them, giving them chance after chance. But some will not learn, will not yield their rebellious spirits to His will. So He finally leaves them to fall to destruction on the craggy rocks of a carnal earthly nature. You have seen them, and so have I. And I have wondered how that those who once soared among the stars could have fallen so low and come to such an end. How could some who had such revelation, such marvelous gifts and ministries, have come to the place where they could accept such heretical doctrines of devils? Or cheapen their ministry and sell out the gift of God for fame and fortune? It has happened, and you know it. It does not make the true revelation of the Spirit any less true. Nor does it take away from the reality of the Gift God had given them. It had been better if they had remained as chickens, in the safety of the barnlot. But they had prayed to be eagles, and God answered. But the tests had brought out the rebellious nature that would not submit wholly to the dealings and discipline of the Holy Ghost. And they fell. Now a chicken may fall off his roost, or off the chicken house, but he never falls far. For he never rises to great heights. But when an eagle falls, he falls a long way and is seen by many. But it is necessary, beloved, for there must be no rebels among those who make their nests on the tops of the mountains and soar above the storm clouds. .....
Chickens or Eagles?
Chickens also are symbolic of people. The only time chickens are referred to in the Bible, Jesus used them as a type of those people in Jerusalem who could not hear His message nor heed His call. They traveled in crowds, in broods, and they were earthbound. They kept their eyes upon the things of this world, scratching out a bare existence, and never lifted their heads to see Him who is from above. They ate the handouts that were cast to them, and searched greedily in the crowded barnlot for more to fill their bellies, much of it unclean. For the chicken is by nature an unclean bird, and will eat dead things and unspeakable filth. They are bound to their existence on the right and on the left by fences, and are satisfied.
But not the eagle. For he has inherited a nature that cannot and will not survive in the confining captivity of the barnyard fowl. To be happy and to fulfill his purpose in life, he must be free to soar in the wide open spaces among the clouds of heaven. It seems lonely up there, for there are not many who will dare to rise to such heights, but the eagle does not care, for it is not in his nature to mingle with the multitudes or the majority. "

Many things Bill Britton wrote were foundational for what I believe. I do not agree with everything he wrote, but was profoundly effected by his writing in my journey to leave the traditional End Times doctrines (Assembly) behind.

No Other Name:
1. The Name and Covenant:
There has been a lot of flap in the church over the use of the names of God. Jah or Jehovah and Jesuah are certainly to be used. But Father God and Jesus are not really wrong. I doubt that we are going to see a great turn around in answered prayer if we use the Hebrew names as opposed to using the Greek names or English, as some might say.
The real problem with the “name” is not the above-perceived problem. The real problem is that we preach a false Jesus and this is nothing more then the man of sin setting himself up in the temple and is the abomination that worketh desolation.
Dan 12:11 And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
2Cr 4:15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
We serve a covenant God. His Hebrew names are often tied to a particular aspect of blessing and covenant with men. It is important that we understand the covenant we are in with Him. It is now called faith and love. We promise our undying love and obedience, and He promises everything He is, to be ours, if we keep this love covenant. Love for God, includes love of our brother.
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
1Cr 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Jhn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Deu 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
1Jo 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
2. No other Name:
Exd 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
The Acts 4:12 Scripture has been used by some who are natural Jews, yet born again to mean that if we do not use the original names of Jehovah, and Yeshua, we use the wrong name and therefore are not save.
God is not a legalist; He is Holy and Righteous. He is more interested in order, then in jot and tittle. There is an order in His glory. He has shown us the power of calling upon His name. This is order, this is instruction not judging, damning law.
Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
1Ch 16:8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Psa 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psa 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
3. Asking in His Name:
We are to ask in His name. To ask in His name is more then using a right name or handle to get him to answer. Asking in His name can only be done by those who are living in His Name-or covenant relationship.
Jhn 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Jhn 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
4. Power in His Name:
Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
5. Fearing His Name:
Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
6. A Deception Concerning His Name:
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mar 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many.
Luk 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
An Abomination concerning a false Christ:
Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] notMat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before
Mat 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
People think that this scripture is saying, when someone comes and says He is over here or over there, that that means they are talking about a false Religion god. But the one the scripture is talking about is not a God with another name, but a false god named “Christ”.
As I have written much in other writings about the "Korah spirit", let me say that this is a similar spirit to that. Korah is the spirit that has a legitimate anointing but uses it illegitimately or against the called vessel of the hour. (The Korahites rose against the true authority in Jah’s people Israel) In Jude Korah is a spot in our New Testament love feast.
The abomination that maketh desolation that is raised up in the temple is the false Jesus and a false covenant relationship as that one which the Luke Warm Church of the US preaches.
Dan 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily [sacrifice], and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Wrong and broken covenants with evil, is the reason this Nation and its Church are off with Jah, and no longer follow the true Christ. (by and large, as Jah always has a remnant)
7. Protocol concerning His Name:
We must receive the Christ Jesus our Lord, Jesuah as he comes in His Father’s name. He is God, but this is protocol.
We also know we do not misuse His name by saying God or Jesus. We misuse His name by preaching Him, in His name, as something He is not. We do not misuse His name, by using a different word then some might use.
When you approach the king, bring a gift. Your best. YOUR life! Your money will send minsitry forth. Your committed life will send Him ahead of you.
8. Conclusion:
Jhn 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
His Name: I AM, Jealous, Jah or Jehovah and Jesuah, Jesus, Lord, Yahweh, God, Alpha and Omega, Wisdom, the Way the Truth and the Life, and on….and on…
False Name: If we do not preach a Christ raised from the dead, we preach a false Christ.
1Cr 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
If we preach a God, which is just an idea of Him that we made up in our own souls, that is an abomination, a broken covenant, and it will bring desolation.
Praise the Name of the LORD!
There has been a lot of flap in the church over the use of the names of God. Jah or Jehovah and Jesuah are certainly to be used. But Father God and Jesus are not really wrong. I doubt that we are going to see a great turn around in answered prayer if we use the Hebrew names as opposed to using the Greek names or English, as some might say.
The real problem with the “name” is not the above-perceived problem. The real problem is that we preach a false Jesus and this is nothing more then the man of sin setting himself up in the temple and is the abomination that worketh desolation.
Dan 12:11 And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
2Cr 4:15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
We serve a covenant God. His Hebrew names are often tied to a particular aspect of blessing and covenant with men. It is important that we understand the covenant we are in with Him. It is now called faith and love. We promise our undying love and obedience, and He promises everything He is, to be ours, if we keep this love covenant. Love for God, includes love of our brother.
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
1Cr 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Jhn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Deu 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
1Jo 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
2. No other Name:
Exd 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
The Acts 4:12 Scripture has been used by some who are natural Jews, yet born again to mean that if we do not use the original names of Jehovah, and Yeshua, we use the wrong name and therefore are not save.
God is not a legalist; He is Holy and Righteous. He is more interested in order, then in jot and tittle. There is an order in His glory. He has shown us the power of calling upon His name. This is order, this is instruction not judging, damning law.
Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
1Ch 16:8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Psa 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psa 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
3. Asking in His Name:
We are to ask in His name. To ask in His name is more then using a right name or handle to get him to answer. Asking in His name can only be done by those who are living in His Name-or covenant relationship.
Jhn 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Jhn 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
4. Power in His Name:
Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
5. Fearing His Name:
Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
6. A Deception Concerning His Name:
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mar 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many.
Luk 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
An Abomination concerning a false Christ:
Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] notMat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before
Mat 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
People think that this scripture is saying, when someone comes and says He is over here or over there, that that means they are talking about a false Religion god. But the one the scripture is talking about is not a God with another name, but a false god named “Christ”.
As I have written much in other writings about the "Korah spirit", let me say that this is a similar spirit to that. Korah is the spirit that has a legitimate anointing but uses it illegitimately or against the called vessel of the hour. (The Korahites rose against the true authority in Jah’s people Israel) In Jude Korah is a spot in our New Testament love feast.
The abomination that maketh desolation that is raised up in the temple is the false Jesus and a false covenant relationship as that one which the Luke Warm Church of the US preaches.
Dan 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily [sacrifice], and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Wrong and broken covenants with evil, is the reason this Nation and its Church are off with Jah, and no longer follow the true Christ. (by and large, as Jah always has a remnant)
7. Protocol concerning His Name:
We must receive the Christ Jesus our Lord, Jesuah as he comes in His Father’s name. He is God, but this is protocol.
We also know we do not misuse His name by saying God or Jesus. We misuse His name by preaching Him, in His name, as something He is not. We do not misuse His name, by using a different word then some might use.
When you approach the king, bring a gift. Your best. YOUR life! Your money will send minsitry forth. Your committed life will send Him ahead of you.
8. Conclusion:
Jhn 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
His Name: I AM, Jealous, Jah or Jehovah and Jesuah, Jesus, Lord, Yahweh, God, Alpha and Omega, Wisdom, the Way the Truth and the Life, and on….and on…
False Name: If we do not preach a Christ raised from the dead, we preach a false Christ.
1Cr 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
If we preach a God, which is just an idea of Him that we made up in our own souls, that is an abomination, a broken covenant, and it will bring desolation.
Praise the Name of the LORD!
