ARISING ON DAVIDS THRONE
The record of King David of Israel’s walk and relationship with The Lord is revealed in the Psalms by people appointed by him to keep record of things seen and spoken during the times of worship and praise in Zion. Many of the Psalms are David’s own account of his life experiences and walk with The Lord.
David’s Zion is a living realm. The Lord took the foundation of Zion and it has become a living realm unto this day for those who find it. In Psalm 89:36, the covenant Psalm, The Lord promised David that his seed “shall endure for ever and his throne as the sun before Me”.
When The Lord says “forever”, He means forever, and “forever” happens to include 2016 A.D. So we have David’s “seed” and his “throne” enduring before The Lord God Jehovah today. I know that Jesus is the “offspring of David”, and that He sits in the “throne of David”, but there is also a seed in the earth called the “Sons of God” who share the line of David as God’s Elect Sons. These are a company of Christians comprising the Revelation 12 “Manchild Company” who shall serve Jesus Christ The Lord, as kings and priests in His Kingdom Day on this earth. They are called and chosen because they looked beyond the religious church day and heard The Trumpet Call to the “Feast of Tabernacles” which is actually the soon coming 1000 year Kingdom Day of Jesus on this earth, the “Feast of His Glory”. They are David’s seed and have attained the greater promises sought by the servants of old from Abraham unto David. This company of His Sons have the heart of God and are in the spiritual process of being transfigured from the human nature inherited from Adam, into the Glorious Divine Nature of Jesus, and they shall be His first-fruits into the realm of immortality, born of the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead.
The world is heading to the close of the current age marked by the end of the 2000 years of the Christian Church. This will give way to the 1000 Kingdom Day of Jesus where He shall rule and reign through His Sons in the throne of their heart. The earth will be ruled by Godly principles of life and peace rather than the current precepts of man. You see, Jesus Christ has not ruled physically in the earth during His Church age, but rather it has been an age of evangelism accomplished by Jesus through His church. This period in God’s whole plan has been for man. His RULE will actually come to the earth during the Kingdom Day. His Sons will rule and reign with Him for 1000 years. This period in God’s plan will be for the exaltation and Glory of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God found worthy of all the Glory and honor.
I want to give a word of exhortation here to the Seed of David. David laid a pattern for us in the Psalms. Most of the Psalms carry at the start, a description of what it is about and the type of music or singing when they were sung in David’s Zion worship. They were instructional, prophetic and exhorting, but the essence of them all is PRAISE unto The Lord. David’s tribe of Judah were the PRAISE tribe.
THE SONG OF DEGREES
From Psalm 120 – Psalm 134, you will notice that the 15 Psalms all carry the description “Song of Degrees”. Four of them are of David and no.127 was a song for Solomon his son. In the Hebrew language, “Song of Degrees” literally means a “Song of Arising, Ascending, and Lifting Up (in the sense of into a higher realm)”.
So we have hidden here in the Davidic line a principle of “arising into higher realms”. Blessed be The Lord of Hosts! This arising carries with it the sense of being delivered or leaving behind the things at the former level.
This message is not an historic study, but a vital Word of Truth to those who would hear.
In these 15 Psalms we see 15 different areas that The Lord will move in our lives and circumstances as we humble our hearts before Him and bring the sacrifice of Praise from a broken spirit and contrite heart. Some of us will identify with these circumstances and as we do, I want to declare a lifting up into Jesus, into His Victory realm high above all things and circumstances.
The 15 areas are:
Psalm 120 deliverance from liars and deceivers into Peace
Psalm 121 safety and protection in The Lord, the only source of our help
Psalm 122 peace and prosperity in the Holy Place and to those that love that realm
Psalm 123 looking to The Lord and finding His mercy amidst the proud and scorners
Psalm 124 help and escape in The Lord from evildoers
Psalm 125 safety and stability in Zion and judgement on the workers of iniquity
Psalm 126 deliverance from religion and the joy and refreshing of Zion
Psalm 127 (for Solomon the type of the Sons) the vanity of human endeavour. The Sons
of the womb the heritage of The Lord
Psalm 128 blessings in Zion from fear of The Lord
Psalm 129 deliverance in affliction
Psalm 130 great expectation in The Lord
Psalm 131 hope with humility
Psalm 132 the Glory of His presence in Zion
Psalm 133 life for evermore in Zion
Psalm 134 praise in His presence
You will see the pattern here of arising from the effect of evil and affliction into the mercy, peace and safety from The Lord. This is coupled with a heart of praise and worship. We have the foundation laid to arise in these same areas which David did. This can be real life experience . These same types of circumstances can drag us down but there is an arising for us laid by our father David on his throne. This is a Spiritual realm for us to lay hold of. There is an arising from all that holds you down, into the glorious victory won for you by Jesus in His death and resurrection. Worship Him and Praise Him in your deepest trials and you will find that victory. The Spirit of God will cause you to arise as He leads you into the realm which David laid for you and which Jesus won for you. This Victory comes by the Grace of God and the Mercy which He pours upon all who come to him by faith. Jesus will make you free. Just believe this and Praise Him if you find like David, the Glory of His presence in Zion.
The only true place of worship in spirit and truth is in spiritual Zion, for this is where The Lord dwells. David knew this in his heart and that is why he bought the ark of The Lord to Zion from the worn out old religious tabernacle in mount Gilgal. Most Christians are stuck at the mountain of Gilgal but His Presence is not there. Their worship is in forms and traditions after the order of man.
I speak as a prophet to the worshippers on “Gilgal” that there is truth about worship, and you can accept or reject the truth. You see, Jesus said in John 4:24, “for God is Spirit, and they that worship Him MUST worship Him in Spirit AND in Truth”. Jesus made this a MUST!! Leave the mountain of Gilgal with its religious effort and come to Zion. You MUST worship Jesus in spirit. Organised religion is dead. The ark has been moved. It’s gone to Zion!
David birthed Zion praise and worship and this is what The Father seeks, for that is where He dwells. Psalm 132:13-14 “for The Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. This is His rest FOREVER, here will He dwell….” The Lord has His personal desires and makes choices just like we do.
You may ask “what is Zion worship?” This is simply where you sing the “New Song” as on offering of Praise and worship from a “broken spirit and contrite heart”. This is what David’s Zion worship was, and still is, and his seed in the Tribe of Judah are true worshippers. If it were possible to gather these ones together from across the world into a combined meeting place, what a glorious realm of praise and worship it would be. This is a vision of mine. In such a meeting there would be no overhead projectors, no business announcements, and the only offering would be the song of praise from the broken spirits and contrite hearts. You would know the Presence of The Lord and the oneness of heart. This realm will cause you to arise into a higher realm and you would never want to leave it.
This is how David’s Tabernacle was. Bless Jesus our wonderful Saviour. Praise His wonderful Name which is higher than any other name. He is The Lord of Hosts and the mighty King of Kings. Every knee will bow to Him and confess that HE is LORD. He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with goodness. He hears the cry of everyone who calls to Him and meets every need. He will guide you continually and satisfy your soul in drought and you will be like a watered garden and a spring of water which will never run dry.
I honour and praise Jesus and declare Him to be the lover of my soul. He is faithful and a rock and guards me in the secret place of His presence. He is perfecting and changing me into His Divine Nature. I found His presence and will never leave it.
David was a man of arising and he knew this. He knew this realm because he knew the heart of God. I know this realm and I share it with you. There is a lifting up for you if you will humble your heart.
Look what David said of himself in 1 Chronicles 17:16- He is praying to The Lord and expresses his absolute humility. David wants to build a Temple as a dwelling place for The Lord, but is told that his son will do this. From V 16 you will see his heart in thanksgiving to The Lord. He says in V 17, that he knows that he is seen by The Lord in the form of a MAN OF ARISING.
David knew his heart and he found the place of arising. Not only that, but he knew that The Lord regarded him as “a man in the form of a man of arising”.
David has established “A MAN OF ARISING” on his throne acceptable in the sight of The Lord FOREVER.
Who are you in God’s sight? Do you know how The Lord sees you? Without all the religious cliché’s, can you say with any confidence that you know how The Lord regards you? Have you found the things that please The Lord? What is The Lord able to say of you?
I am not asking what you do for The Lord, I am asking how far you have moved on in Him since you were born-again.
The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God. Do you accept His Word through His prophets by faith? Most preachers today will talk about historical Bible facts and stories and stay in the comfort zone of their religious and denominational forms and traditions.
Why not step out and create something between yourself and The Lord!!! Have you ever made a personal covenant with Him? Something real and spiritually alive – something which He fed you because you hungered and thirsted after Him! Something you know that causes Him to say, ”I regard this person because…………..”.
The Lord calls you right now. He challenges you because He loves you and wants you partaking of the Life unto which He called you. Will you step out. Fall on your face before Him and ask Him to lead you to His Presence. Surrender everything to Him and be willing to pay the price. You will never regret it. Like David and his seed be able to say that “I know that The Lord regards me as……………..”.
This “MAN” today is the Revelation 12 “MANCHILD” company of the Sons of God who have arisen into the double portion of perfection in Jesus with the same heart as David, and seated in his throne.
I want to say to the Sons of God that The Lord sees and knows you as a person of arising. He regards you in the form of a person of arising. He regards the faith you had to enter into His Immortal Life and allow the Spirit of God to transform you into that same image. Regardless of whatever circumstances may be afflicting you, and your frustrations and struggles, The Lord regards you as HIS BELOVED SON.
IMMORTALITY NOW…..
There is one realm which David was unable to arise into but he saw it and laid it for his seed. This is the realm of IMMORTALITY into which he could not arise for Jesus had not yet died and arisen from the dead. But The Sons Of God have seen this and their Glorious realm of arising is not just from circumstances of life, but from the fallen realm of Adam’s death INTO THE GLORIOUS IMAGE OF JESUS. This is how He sees us!! As people in the form of His own Glorious Divine Nature. I want to Praise His Wonderful Name and Worship Him for the calling to, and revelation of this glorious realm.
The world does not know this, and religion is blind to the truth that there is a company of those on the earth who have arisen into the fullness of Jesus Christ and by-passed death. They are the new priesthood who will serve Jesus in His Kingdom Day on this earth. I say that they are unknown but the day is imminent when this company will be revealed by The Lord and they shall bring His Kingdom to earth. THEY SIT WITH JESUS IN THE THRONE OF DAVID. The world shall fear before them for they shall rule and reign with a rod of iron! Their words shall carry life and they shall speak with authority.
Ezekiel was a prophet some 500 years after David. In Ch.43 of Ezekiel he prophesies the return of the Glory of The Lord into the temple and goes on to describe the pattern of the temple. There are many glorious truths here concerning the “living temples of His Glory”, the Sons of God. One of these is in V 17 which says that the altar area has stairs or an “arising” which faces the east. Also in V 4 it says that “the Glory of The Lord entered the temple by the way of the gate which faces the east. Now this “altar” is the Hebrew word “Ariel” which literally means “Lion of God”. Bless His Wonderful Name! You see, the Lion of God is the tribe of Judah. In fact Jesus is the Lion of Judah. He laid Himself down as an altar of sacrifice. The Sons of God come from the Spiritual tribe of Judah because it is David’s tribe of Praise and Worship. The Sons of God have laid themselves down on altars of sacrifice. They too are the “Ariel of God”, and like Jesus they have an arising which faces the east. In the camps of Israel as they journeyed from Egypt to their promised land of Canaan, the Tribe of Judah always camped nearest to the gate of the tabernacle and their camp always faced the east. “East” is where the light arises first, and Judah were in the position of the “arising light”. We saw in V 4 that the Glory of The Lord comes in from the east.
The Spiritual Tribe of Judah, the Sons of God, have always had their hearts towards the Arising Light of The Word of The Lord, and The Glory of God has entered into these living temples from the place of arising. The Sons are the “first-fruits” of the Glory of The Lord filling them as the Living Temples.
The day is coming when the Glory of Jesus will be seen in these Temples. Whenever the presence of The Lord came into the natural temple, the Holy Place was filled with the Shekinah cloud of His Glory. When Jesus comes back to this earth, you had better be sure you know where to look for Him. You will find Him in one place only – in His Temple which will be filled with His Glory. Look for His appearing in the company of those who have been built as the Living Temples for they shall be filled with the Glory of His Life and immortality. Jesus is not going to come and set up some headquarters here on earth. He will never again divest Himself of His Glory to come to this fallen earth. But rather He has been forming the company of His Sons for the ministry in His Kingdom Day.
Precious Sons of God, the bright and morning star is arising in our hearts heralding the dawning of a New Day. Lift up our hearts and rejoice for the Glory of The Lord is coming into His Temple. He wants us now to let our hearts be filled with the New Song unto Him and as we lay our crowns before Him and sing “worthy the Lamb”, surely this, our SONG OF DEGREES will lift us up and cause us to ascend into the high place of our calling seated far above all things in the throne of our father David. I speak a word of strength and power into each heart and life remembering that we shall renew our strength and shall mount up with wings like eagles. Keep your eyes on Jesus and His purposes rather than the things happening on the earth, for these must surely be.
The Lord gave me this prophetic Word:
“I have angels of destruction sent to stir the waters. They obey My commands and accomplish My will on the earth, and you have seen their hand in recent stirrings of the waters. These are neither man-made events nor are they natural disasters, and the works of My Hand must not be ascribed to evil. I am bringing My judgement to the earth in awesome displays of My Righteousness. This is the hour of My judgement on the ways of darkness which have permeated the earth for long enough. Enough is enough. My judgement is actually a trumpet call for I am about to again take control of creation, binding the hand of satan who has manifested his hand for long enough. My patience with man is running out and I wield a sword of judgement before the great day of My Peace upon earth.”
Wherever you are right now, or whatever your circumstances, there is a “lifting up” for you.
If your need is to be born-again, then it is a gift of God’s grace to you through Jesus Christ. Just confess your belief that He is the Son of God, that He died for you and that He was raised from the dead. Ask Him to come into your heart and the promise of God is that He Will and you will be born-again. The Bible says that you must be Born-again. You see salvation is not a religious or denominational thing; it is a relationship with Jesus. He will come into your heart and lead you by His Holy Spirit.
I want to encourage those who have stood in the Sonship truth. You have been faithful and even in much trial and adversity you have been true to the calling. Be strong and know that you are not alone. There is a great company of those who stand with you. The Lord is preparing His army. With great strength and filled with the Glory of God this army will proclaim the “Day of The Lord” as their presence fills the land. This is a company of people who have been preparing for this day in their hearts for many years. Overlooked by the world and rejected by the religious, yet “beloved” of The Lord for their hearts have been found faithful. I would Bless and encourage you my brothers and sisters in the womb. The Lord is in His Holy Temple; let all the earth keep silence!
ALL GLORY TO JESUS
