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 3rd day, and on the 7th day the clean
person Purifies Himself in water until evening.
This is a type of the 3rd 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 7th 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

Always for Jesus,
