THE HOPE THAT PURIFIES

M ay Jesus make His Word Living and vital to our hearts, and I encourage you to listen to what He wants to say to you personally. I speak the Name of Jesus over this Word that He may be exalted. God Bless you.

I want to start in 1 John 3, and let the Holy Spirit lead from there.

V 2 says: “…we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is”

John is talking of a people appearing in the image of Jesus which is perfection. These people see the likeness. When He reveals His perfection, there are a people who are like Him. The question of course is “how does this happen?”

This will happen of course when the dead are raised and put on His likeness, and those alive will be changed in a moment. But is it possible for this to happen with a people before then?

What I see is that there is a change taking place in a people whose hearts have been seeking His Face, and they have SEEN JESUS in all of His Perfection and Glory. I am not talking about what the cult of the new age “Christian mystics” claim, but seeing Him in the eye of the Spirit in His Secret Place, and where He appears as Light in His Word. It is when you go beyond the veil into the Eden of God. It’s where you come through the flaming swords of perfecting back to eat at the Tree of Life. In this place, the swords have burnt out “sin and death consciousness” and you enter in to the Glorious immortal image of Jesus. This is His dwelling place of Spiritual Zion. David found this in the natural, and he birthed it as a shadow of the Heavenly city of our great God and Savior, Jesus.

V 3 says that every man that has this HOPE in him, i.e. “the Hope to be like Jesus”, PURIFIES himself even as Jesus is PURE.

How awesome is this. There is Godly Light and Life in having a HOPE in us which will produce the purpose for which God has created it. It is a HOPE impregnated with Kingdom Power to produce LIFE.

THIS HOPE WILL PURIFY!! Purify means to make clean.

How do we develop this HOPE?

In our natural lives, we all know what hope is. No doubt there are many things we have hoped for, and indeed may be hoping for today. But this HOPE that PURIFIES results from Spiritual Life.

Paul explains this somewhat in Romans 5:

V 3 “tribulation works patience, and patience works experience and experience works HOPE. This HOPE will never disappoint, delude or shame us because of God’s Love in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.

In other words, we learn endurance and faith through circumstances, which produces joy. Holy Spirit touches this with the Love of God in us to produce this HOPE. When Jesus shows Himself present in our everyday issues, Holy Spirit will produce the Life of HOPE for us to believe to come into His Likeness by PURIFYING ourselves even as He is PURE.

This is so Glorious and will give us a whole new understanding of rejoicing in trials. So this is a Spiritual process of growing and increasing to the ultimate HOPE.

Many Christians don’t understand how we can make ourselves PURE. Of course we can only do this with the power of Holy Spirit.

There is a principal in the Word:

In Scripture, “19” (10+9) denotes perfect order for God’s completeness, finality. David had 19 sons.

After the death of Solomon, Israel was ruled by 19 kings before God allowed them to be defeated by the Assyrians because of rebellion against God.

NOW, In Numbers 19:19

 We have a washing of a people on the 3^rd day, and on the 7^th day the clean person Purifies Himself in water until evening.

This is a type of the 3^rd day of Jesus and the Feast of Glory, where there is a “washing of the water of The Word” in those who have the HOPE of being in Jesus Likeness at His appearing.

Where there is a heart which has the HOPE to be in the perfection of Jesus, Holy Spirit will work the Love of God through His Word to produce that perfection. The person makes the choice to allow this washing.

There is a Word in this day beloved which Jesus has released into a people to bring them into His Image. This has resulted from an “appearing” of Jesus to those who have sought His Face and hungered for the Feast of Tabernacles, the Feast of His Glory.

I speak of this in the message “The Tower of Meah”, relating to a company of 100 fold priests.

David records in Psalm 102:18 that there would be a “generation to come” who would see the truth about a principal: V 16 – “When THE LORD builds up Zion, He appears”. Beloved, when a person finds the Spiritual dwelling place of Jesus which is Spiritual Zion, He appears to them. In my own life, when He brought me to Zion, my whole being filled with Light, and He started a journey of revealing His secrets to me. That Light has never gone and I hunger for The Kingdom and His will being done in me. I give all Glory to Jesus. V 18 says that these people are “created” (prepared and formed).

We are in the day where God is creating or building up a Kingdom Day Priesthood. These are the Melchizedek Priests that God promised to David in Psalm 110. This also mentions a “people willing in the day of His Power” in the “beauty of Holiness from the womb”. The womb is the Rev 12 mother, the church.

All Glory to Jesus. This company of people have that HOPE to appear in the perfect likeness of Jesus.

So He is building a people in the Tabernacle of Zion His secret place after the order established by David. It is a realm of the broken spirit and contrite heart. It is a people who like David, have sought the Face of Jesus with their whole heart. It’s a people who worship Jesus in the New Song of Zion. They are a remnant people. A “remnant” is what’s left when a majority is discarded. They are a people who have allowed circumstances to break them and develop in them a HOPE which washes them on the 7^th day producing PURITY in the Image of Jesus.

The prophet Micah gives a Glorious Word:

In 5 V 3-7 Talks of a birthing of remnant people feeding in strength and the Majesty of His Name and the raising up of 7 Shepherds and 8 principal men. The 7 shepherds would be to lead. “8” is the number of “new beginnings”, so Micah saw a company of 8 “Principal” men for a new day. “Principal” has a meaning of anointing, princely. V 8 says this remnant is “as a dew from The Lord” speaking of refreshing.

How do I end this beloved? It is difficult because much can be revealed about the whole content.

Let me ask a question. 

Do you have this HOPE in you which PURIFIES? You will know because we saw that the fruit is being washed in the Word.

Beloved, the Principal Men see Jesus as He is. They see Him immortal and perfect, and this is the image they have of themselves. Any other image is not the image of Jesus.

There is a law of “sin and death” and a law of “the spirit of Life in Jesus”. Which law do you live under? Read Romans 8 which speaks of this.

I challenge each Christian reading this:

•           How do you see Jesus?
•            Do you see yourself in His Image with a resurrection whilst you are  alive?
•        Has He appeared to you?   
•              Will you allow Holy Spirit to work the Love of God in you to produce Jesus Image
•        Will you PURIFY yourself

If your heart witnesses to this, Jesus will take you on into His fullness.

God Bless you. If you need support in your journey, feel free to email me.

Always for Jesus,

Larry

BEHOLD, WHAT MANNER

This is an interesting title, and I am believing that Holy Spirit will bring something alive and vital to each heart. Bless you. I preached a message similar to this at Scots Church in Melbourne earlier in the year (bless you David Currie). It blessed people there so I am sharing similar thoughts here to a wider audience.

The key to this message is the word “Manner” which in the Bible literally means “what type, kind of, sort”. It has a deeper sense of amazement, like “where is this from”.

It is most commonly read in 1 John 3:1, where John makes the statement, “behold, What Manner of Love the Father has bestowed upon us”.

You could write pages about this verse alone, but I want to just highlight perhaps why John said it in this sense. The Love of God is so unique and different to what John had seen in a human sense, and it would be hard to describe. John spent 3 intense years with Jesus and heard and saw things beyond understanding. He was witness to Jesus' transfiguration, and was given the Revelation of things to come.

In writing this passage, he literally says, “Where is this Love from?” “What sort of Love is this?”

He is inviting the reader to consider this. He says “Behold” – “look at this Love”. We are challenged to consider this great Love of The Father. John is trying to get our attention. He saw this Love outworked in Jesus, and he wants to relay it to us. He challenges us to stop and look at this, consider this Love and see if we have an answer. We have all sorts of alarms confronting us all day in the world – traffic lights, rail crossings, and alarms etc, all to get our attention. Well that’s what John is doing here.

Before looking deeper at this Love, I want to expand this theme in other scriptures.

     1. Matthew 8:27 Jesus has just calmed the storm out on the sea. It says that the disciples marveled or were in a state of wonder, saying “WHAT MANNER of man is this, that the winds and sea obey Him!” I love this…. It’s like “where is this man from?” In Australian vernacular we would maybe have said “What planet is he from?” The disciples had just seen a storm at sea obey the words of Jesus, and they have no explanation. “What country is he from?” “Who is this man?” Let me ask: Have you ever had an encounter with Jesus so incredible that you have asked the same question? I have had a couple of experiences which I won’t go into here, and I was as equally amazed. 

    Maybe we need to go out with Jesus in a boat into a storm, and behold His wonder. Imagine how they felt when Jesus turned and challenged their faith in the perfect storm. In fact Mark records that Jesus said that they had no faith. We read this and have the advantage of perhaps agreeing, but what situations have we been in where Jesus could say the same to us. But the disciples were challenged here. This man is different. Who is He? Where is He from? They were to go on later and see many miracles He did. I wonder if they became accustomed to these. Beloved we know that Jesus can do anything, but should never take Him for granted. He is worthy of our constant worship and praise. How awesome is our God! His nature is beyond anything we could imagine. We know Him to be the creator of all things, so calming a storm would be pretty normal – until you see Him do it, and then you will be in Wonder of Him.

   2. Daniel 3:29 Nebuchadnezzar has just witnessed the 3 come out of the fiery furnace, and he makes a decree: “If anybody speaks anything against the God of these men, they are to be cut into pieces and their houses made a dunghill…because THERE IS NO OTHER GOD WHO CAN DELIVER AFTER THIS SORT”. Wow! Here’s the king of Babylon, having seen a miracle and saying that there is no other god like This God. I imagine that he might have talked about this for quite some time with his men and probably posed the same question, “Who is this God of theirs?” Perhaps the world today should be seeing more of Him in us and asking the same question, which leads me to:

     3. Acts 4:13 Peter and John have just healed he lame man in the temple, and subsequently been dragged before the religious high priest and elders after they were imprisoned overnight. They were actually amazed at what they had seen, and demanded to know by what power or name they had done this. Then Peter, full of the Holy Ghost gives them a good sermon about Jesus. Now of course these religious men were indignant because they knew Peter and John to be unlearned on their standards. The boldness of Peter and John challenged these men and in concluding that they were unlearned and ignorant, they MARVELED AT THEM. In other words, they were saying, “Who are these two?” Where are they from?” “What planet are they from?” Then of course they realize that they had been with Jesus. The point being that Peter and John were in the same “Marvel” category as Jesus.

We see a Kingdom principle emerging beloved. That those of God’s Kingdom are not ordinary people.

Now, back in 1 John 3:1, we read that The Father BESTOWS His Love on us.

This word “bestow” means “to give, to lavish extravagantly, to commit”.

He does this for a reason – To give us identity, as the Sons of God. This Identity should cause us to stand out like Jesus, as Peter and John did.

Our friends, contacts, and people in the world generally, should be saying of us, “Who is this person?” “What planet is he/she from?”

It’s significant that the word ”bestow” also means “adventure” in the Gk. How awesome beloved – this is an adventure for God. He wants to see us Marveled at. It’s a mark of His Kingdom.

I think that the most important mark is that of His Agape LOVE. God’s Love is the foundation of His Kingdom. He so Loved us that He gave us His only begotten Son to die in our place.

I think that there is a tendency in the charismatic/Pentecostal scene to major on signs, wonders and miracles, and I Praise Jesus for these – but what about His Agape Love? John said that it’s our identity.

God doesn’t just love, HE IS LOVE. His Nature is Love. It’s part of who He is. So great is His Love, that the world today should be in awe of it. But how can they see it? The answer is obvious – in His Sons.

God’s Agape Love should stand out so much in us, that people say “Who is that person?” “What planet are they from that they would do that?”

This is an extravagant adventure for God beloved. He wants to see us Wondered at, for then we reflect Him. Imagine as The Father watched to boat incident with Jesus! What a thrill to Him! Jesus representing His Kingdom like that!

When we bear His Image we represent His Family. We carry the Love gene. We identify with His Kingdom as Sons.

Is this how you are beloved? Is this how I am?

Our minds have to be transformed into Kingdom thinking. The human mind cannot comprehend these things.

In God’s terms, His Love is normal – it’s human love which is abnormal. We must rise up in the Bestowed Love and let it shine forth. Maybe it’s buried in wrong attitudes and other junk in our lives. We need to let Jesus deal with this in us so that the world will see that we have been with Him. 

I think also that many need to lose their embarrassment of being Christian, and bring their light out from under the bush!

The Laws of The Kingdom need to operate in us. For this to happen we have to operate in that Faith which was absent in the perfect storm!

I want to challenge here. Would the world ever wonder what planet you are from? Do they see you any different? Do the people in your social or work mix even know that you are a Christian? If you were dragged into court accused of being a Christian, would there be any evidence to convict you?

We are in the early hours of the Kingdom Day beloved. We are going to see events move quickly in this earth as God moves in His Purposes. The day is coming where you may have to stand and be challenged for your faith.

Are there other God’s in our lives? Idols – things which we worship and consider important in our lives above Jesus! We need to de-throne them beloved, and place Jesus back in His rightful place on the throne in our lives.

We are in the day of the “Lukewarm” church. True worship is replaced by entertainment and convicting word by empty words to tickle the ears. Pastors are bleeding money from the sheep for their “Nimrod Towers” and personal lusts.

Jesus calls you. Your spirit witnesses with His Spirit. Will you continue to blend in with the crowd, or will you come out from it and be Wondered at.

We should be reflecting Jesus so much that the world has to look and wonder and question “Where we are from?”

Let it be said of us: “What MANNER OF MAN/WOMAN IS THIS, THAT……………………………………………………………………………………….”

If you need support please email me and I will be blessed to stand with you.

Always for Jesus, Larry

HIS PURPOSES

I fully believe that we were born for, and according to, the Kingdom Purposes of Jehovah God. God has His Purposes.

The definition of “purpose”:

“the reason for which something exists, or is done, made or used”

“an intended result, aim or goal”

“an expected end, destination, mission or objective reason”

God has a Purpose, a reason, and a destination for His people.

It is our place to submit to that Purpose and to let Him fulfill His whole Purpose for which we were born.

What is the reason we were born into His Kingdom? To achieve human success in life? To accumulate wealth? To achieve fame or popularity? There is nothing wrong with these things, but they are not the Purpose for which we were born. Look at Adam-he was given the Purpose of managing God’s creation. Our existence is about Him – not us. I am reminded of the scripture “He must increase and we must decrease”.

The First Principle

Romans 8:28

“All THINGS work TOGETHER for GOOD to them that LOVE GOD, and are CALLED according to HIS PURPOSES”.

I believe that it’s important to understand the literal meaning of the original Bible language:

“Purposes”            ~  “what is laid down before”

“Work Together”   ~  “work with each other”

“Good”                   ~  “for benefit”

Now place these into your life, and you will start to see the dynamic of the outworking of God’s plan for you. In your life, God determined before your birth, that all the circumstances in your life would work in unity for the benefit of His Kingdom.

Has there been a point in your life where you have realized this and PARTNERED with Him in His Purposes for you?

Many would think that the working is for their personal good, but I believe that it is for our Father’s good, for that is the reason why we exist. Whilst all things are working in unity for His Purpose, they may not all manifest at the one time.

One thing may have to outwork in its time before another thing can work for its Purpose, but they are in oneness. So our lives have to go through a Spiritual development process before we can come to His fullness.

Each “Thing” in our lives has its joint and several Purpose to produce His Goodness and Benefit for His Kingdom.

God has a core Purpose for our lives, and for His true Sons, the Things will all work to produce that core Purpose.

The Glorious truth is that God has put His stamp on all things in our lives in order to ensure that they outwork His Purposes and to bring His Sons into the full image of Jesus. These will include natural things which we originated, but He will turn them for His Purposes, and even in these He will outwork a Spiritual result in our lives.

When we grasp this truth, our attitude towards our lives will change, for we will rest in the truth that the Spirit of Glory is working in us.

Although all Things will operate according to their individual nature, they will Work Together for the core Purpose.

Q: What is this Core Purpose? A: To produce Sonship in His Chosen.

Ephesians 1:11 …… “……predestined according to the Purpose of God who works All Things after the counsel of HIS OWN WILL”.

This area of scripture is talking of coming into full inheritance for those who first trusted in Jesus. It is Glorious. Read it and make it personal about yourself.

Creation of all things, included God’s own Purposes for His Kingdom, and the place that His Sons would play in that. So He saw His Sons at creation and put things in Divine Order to accomplish His Purpose.

Now, when we bring this down to our own lives, which are committed totally to Jesus, He has determined earlier that all Things in our lives will work according to His counsel. How Glorious is this!

I must quote Ephesians 3:11…. “…His Purpose which He Purposed IN JESUS”. You see beloved, God has partnered Jesus in the outworking in our lives. It is within Him. He sealed all with His blood and God’s Grace and Mercy freely flow to us through Jesus, because the Purpose in us was first Purposed in Jesus at the Cross. All of the Kingdom Glory to be revealed in His Sons is already settled in Jesus who is the first-fruit of many Sons. 

I have highlighted this because it is a precious truth for us to hear. This will produce a beautiful Light in you when you understand it.

In 2 Timothy 1:9 Paul testifies about himself

He is speaking of his own circumstances and applications, and says: 

“…. Called with a Holy calling not according to our works, but according to His own Purpose and Grace which was given us in Jesus Christ before the world began”.

This is so Glorious my words are inadequate.

Paul had afflictions…. Imprisonment, shipwreck, persecution to name a couple, and his understanding was that these were Purposed in Jesus before creation.

What a deep and wonderful Truth. EVERYTHING WE go through will produce His Purposes which were Purposed in Jesus before creation.

How humbling and Glorious this is. It draws me even closer to Jesus. I see things with Spiritual Light. I see the Kingdom coming in me. I see the will done in Heaven being done in me.

You might like to speak this with me:

“Father forgive me for complaining and murmuring in my circumstances. I surrender up everything in my life to You, acknowledging that You are working in them to produce Your predestined Purposes. I confess that they were all Purposed in Jesus before creation and sealed for me at the Cross that I might receive freely of Your Grace and Mercy”.

Revelation 17:14 says that “…. Jesus overcomes the beast and He has with Him, those Called and Chosen, and they are Faithful”.

This is it beloved. Faithfulness is the key. Jesus was Faithful to His sacrifice at the Cross. He will test our Faithfulness and burn out all the dross.

In Isaiah 14:24 we get a glimpse into the heart of God:

“The Lord of Hosts has SWORN, saying, Surely AS I HAVE THOUGHT, so shall it come to pass; and as I have PURPOSED, so shall it stand”.

Again my words are inadequate. WOW!

If God thinks a thing it will COME TO PASS.

If God Purposes, IT SHALL STAND.

Just think on this – it is so Glorious. When God thinks about something concerning us it will come to pass. I understand deeper about creation. He thought about a beautiful rose and it came to pass.

This Kingdom Truth will bring peace to many hearts. Read this passage down to v 27 – it will bless you.

In Isaiah 46 The Lord gives us insight into Himself, and in V 9, & 10 He says:

“I am God there is none like Me. I declare the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My Counsel Shall Stand and I Will DO ALL MY PLEASURE”.

There is no way to end this message beloved, so I just leave it for Holy Spirit to speak to each heart. Receive His Word and it will bring Peace to your heart.

“I have opened a door in My House through My servant to give you a glimpse into my treasure store. This room is protected by security angels and I allow them to open it only to those who desire to gaze on my riches. I showed My apostles John and Paul into this room and I now open it in your day. Receive and the Spirit of Revelation will open the eyes of your understanding. It is My good pleasure to reveal all things to My Beloved. The time will come when you will have the same thought process with which My Purposes come to pass. I want that when men look at you, they see Jesus”.

All for Jesus only,

Larry.

THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD

THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD

God’s dominion is referred to as His Kingdom. The Bible speaks of the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, and a time when His Kingdom will reign on earth. A Kingdom is the realm of the King, and all that He has comes under the domain of the Kingdom.

It also refers to His Household. Whilst a kingdom is a realm, a household is where people dwell within a kingdom. A household is a people of a house collectively, including its servants.

Ephesians 2:19 says that we are “fellow-citizens with the saints and of the Household of God”. The sense of the Greek here is “a place of habitation, dwelling and belonging”.

Galatians 6:10 also refers to it as the Household of Faith. So we see then that God’s Household is the habitation of His people of faith, including the servants.

When His Kingdom is established on the earth for 1000 years, He shall also have a Household on the earth – a people representing His Kingdom. At that time, Jesus will inherit the kingdoms on earth and all rule and reign will be given over to Him as the principles of God’s Kingdom are manifest on the earth. The Kingdom trinity principle is Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost.

In Matthew 24:45, Jesus talks of “a faithful and wise servant, who rules over His Household”. I believe this to be a company of servants, and He goes on to say that such a one “will be made ruler over all His goods”. So we have Jesus speaking of a future time when a servant will have total rule over all that Jesus has. 

There are similarities here to Joseph and his elevation to ruler of the kingdom. Joseph is a type of the Sons of God.

The “goods” are literally “things of substance which exist and are held in possession”.

We could liken it to an earthly family for illustration, where there are parents and children. In that household there are possessions and the father is in control. Let’s assume that one of the children had outstanding abilities of leadership and was seen to have wisdom and was faithful to the household order above the siblings. The father has to go away for some time, and so to ensure the continuity of the family order, he elevates that wise and faithful child to have the control over the household.

Well it’s that simple in God’s Kingdom. The Faithful Servants shall rule over all things in the Household in the Earthly Kingdom. 

Now of course any household must operate under rules. The Ruler then operates within these rules.

There is an order in God’s Household.

Paul says in teaching Timothy – 2 Tim 2:20

In a great house there are:

 Vessels of gold

 Vessels of silver

 Vessels of wood and earth

Paul is exhorting young Timothy in this area how to act as a servant and how to grow in Kingdom principles. He continues this theme in the following 2 chapters.

I just want to dwell on the three vessels.

Whether we like it is irrelevant, but God does select His Beloved. He chose David purely because he had a heart after God’s own heart. If his brothers were the same then God would have had some other deciding factor. He called Solomon and chose him, calling him His Beloved. In fact God had His own private name for Solomon which was Jedidiah, lit. “beloved of The Lord”. God instructed the prophet Samuel to call him this name. Solomon’s natural name meant “peace” which was pretty good in its own right but God had a higher identity for him as His personal Beloved on the earth. 

So Solomon who again is a type of the Kingdom Day rule, bore a new name given by His Father God.

I am expecting that a picture is emerging here in our understanding of God’s Divine order. 

In much of my teaching, I reveal God’s order of 3’s and we see that here. All of these have Kingdom truth hidden for our finding.

The Three Household Vessels

1. Wood and earth. These speak of natural elements and represent the saints in the outer court who have come through salvation. They have the testimony of Jesus in them but haven’t gone on to know “The Lord”. They have not gone into the second realm of Holy Ghost. In the outer court there is no roof covering and they are subjected to all the natural elements without knowing their authority. They only know their denominational teaching with a form of Godliness but lacking the power.

2. Silver. These speak of the Sanctuary or Holy Place saints. They have come into the second court with the Power of Holy Spirit. This realm has a roof covering with protection from the elements. Also in here is the candlestick spiritual light which represents illumination of the Word. We also have the elements in here which point to the presence of Jesus, but only that. His presence did not come into that court. In here you have the “hope of Glory”.

3. Gold. This speaks of the Most Holy Place saints who have come through the burning of the veil of their flesh into the Glorious presence of Jesus. This is the only realm of His presence. The only light in here is the Light of His Face. Gold speaks of His Glory. This is the Secret Place, the place of His habitation. The saints in here have come into His Divine image and have passed from sin and death consciousness into His resurrection Life. This is the realm of the Melchisedek Priesthood, the Sons of God. 

Which realm a believer is found in, depends on the Heart after God.

So again we have:

Vessels of Wood and Earth   ~   30 Fold saints

Vessels of Silver                     ~   60 Fold saints

Vessels of Gold                      ~   100 Fold saints

Again in the Household, we have 3 principles:

The Called

The Chosen

The Elect

What is The Lord Saying to Us?

I can only share what I believe He is saying. 

In a natural family, you become a member of a household by birth, or by a law of adoption.

In the Kingdom of God, the same principal operates. We are born into the Household of God by Spiritual re-birth after accepting Jesus as our Savior. When this happens, God’s law of adoption operates and we become a member of His Household. Romans 8:15 says that there is a “Spirit of adoption” by which we know God as “Abba Father”. 

If you are born-again then you are a member of our Father’s Household. How awesome is this.

Perhaps one of the saddest things is that there are many people who believe to be in this Household but are not. It’s not enough to say that you belong to a religious order, that you went to a religious school, or that your parents are religious. You may say that you do good things, and even believe in Jesus. Friend, if you have never accepted Jesus as your personal Savior and received Him into your heart, then you are not born-again. Jesus Himself said that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and there is no other way to God’s grace and mercy apart from Him. You can be born-again right now by believing that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died on the cross for your sin, and that He arose from the dead. If you will believe this, then confess this to God and repent of your sin and you will be born-again. God Bless you.

 

The other challenge is to all the members of the Household.

We have seen that the Household of God is a company of people with differing characteristics as in a human family. God’s family is a Spiritual Family, and even within this there are differing characteristics. The Bible calls them different vessels, or instruments.

How do you see yourself?

A vessel of wood and earth

A vessel of silver, or

A vessel of gold.

Do you dwell in the Outer Court,

The Holy Place, or

The Holy of Holies?

I think that we choose to seek after Jesus with our whole heart. Our Father God looks in His Household for those who are “wise and faithful”. He looked for David and sent the prophet to seek him out. He had seven brothers, but he stood out because he had a heart after God.

Beloved, this might be the very point in your life where you hear Jesus calling you to a higher realm in Him. Are you satisfied by just being a member of His Household, or do you desire to be a Kingdom Servant. You know, Romans 9:23 says that “the vessels of mercy were afore prepared unto Glory”. You know in your heart where you stand. You may be earmarked but have never yet surrendered everything to Jesus. He is waiting. You can only enter the Most Holy Place of His Presence through the rent veil of your flesh. You can come through the flaming swords back to the Tree of Life. 

Remember there are some 30, some 60, and some 100 fold. Where are you in the Household? You can choose to stay in the 30 fold realm, or cry out to Jesus and ask Him to lead you into the higher realms. 

There is a richness of the Glory of His Household. This “richness” literally means “to increase in abundance”.

Our Father God wants all of His Children to grow and increase. Jesus Himself grew in stature and wisdom.

I am here to encourage and to spur you on into the very fullness of Jesus.

We can all grow in the knowledge of His Riches. The “Light of The Knowledge of The Glory of God”, shines in the Face of Jesus, so you will not get revelation of Father’s Glory anywhere else. God asked David to “seek His Face”, and David’s response was “my heart will seek Your Face”. 

Only by your heart seeking the Face of Jesus, will you get the knowledge of God’s Glory. 

Perhaps this could be your prayer too:

“Fill me with Your spiritual Light Father, as I want to be like Jesus. Let my flesh become Word that I might completely lose Adam’s nature and come forth transfigured into the image of Jesus whom I love and worship. May this same Light shine from my face Father, that I might be a testimony to the Life of Jesus when I worship and give you my broken spirit and contrite heart”.

Jesus bless you friend, and if you want to email me, I will support you in your Spiritual growth. 

Always for Jesus,

Larry Wilson.
