Live Behind The Veil

Summary:

Today the Lord has chosen to manifest Himself in and through His people. This is where you will find His Word, leading and Lordship. Walking with Christ is simply walking with a revelation of Christ in your brother and sister as you submit to one another in the fear of Christ.

Show Notes:

The Lordship of Jesus Christ is manifested through people.

The Word and leading of the Lord many times comes through your brother and sister.

The Lord has placed Himself in His family and that is where He is being manifested.

We must have spiritual eyes to see the Christ in our brother.

We must trust in the Lord and not lean on our understanding of things to enter into this walk with Christ.

We must stay connected to those that the Lord has placed in our midst.

We walk with His Lordship in our spiritual family.

Quotes:

The Lordship of Jesus Christ, the enemy of it, it's the headship of man versus the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

The Lordship of Jesus Christ comes through people.

...that word you're looking for, that direction you're looking for, is going to come through your brother or your sister.

If you're saying that you're submissive to the Lord, then what you're really saying is, I'm submissive to my brothers and sisters...

The lordship of Jesus Christ is gonna come through men and women of authority.

Don't go looking for Him somewhere else when He's placed Himself in His family.

You must have a spirit of revelation and knowledge from Him so that you can see Christ in yourself and Christ in your brother.

...it's important we stay connected in with the body of Christ or with it with the family.

Jesus is called Savior in the Scriptures only 16 times. Jesus is called Lord - and in my preference - sovereign over 700 times.

...there's such a drive that the Father had throughout the scriptures in understanding what we're talking about in the family with Christ as the head.

and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.

Ephesians 1:18-19

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

Hebrews 10:25

not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

Matthew 7:21-23

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’

Takeaway:

The Lordship of Jesus Christ is being manifested through His many membered body. This is where we walk with our Lord, and find our relationship with Him as we submit to the Christ coming forth in one another in the fear of Christ.

SUMMARY:

The way to keep progressing in a walk with God is to seek Him for revelation. A person can come to times which seem to be “dry” or lack a spark, but the important thing is to seek the Lord for a fresh revelation. The Holy Spirit leads into all truth; all you have to do is to ask for it. When we ask, He will reveal to us the next aspect of our relationship with Him.

SHOW NOTES:

The Lord relates to us as He did to Peter, when He asked, “who do you say that I am?” When Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” he was revealing the revelation that the Father had given him.

A revelation does not come by analyzing and reasoning; it comes from God.

The mind of a person can go into reasoning that is not the mind of Christ and can cause us to miss the revelation God is trying to show.

The flow of revelation comes after a person lays aside his own understanding and lack of trust in the Lord and totally relies on whatever God might say.

Getting a revelation from the Lord is creative; it develops something in your relationship with Him.

QUOTATIONS:

There is a personal revelation that we must have to walk in the walk with God and to really reach into a level of really knowing Him.

It is a revelation of the Lord that He is with us, that He never leaves us, that He is the one who directs our path.

Knowing that you have a relationship with God by revelation is the most important thing that you can have in the day that we are living.

If you don't have this, then it's something that you should seek with all your heart.

This revelation is Him in us is a secret in our journey with Him, in our walk with Him, in our relationship with Him.

When we come together and we all have this revelation of Christ in us, the connection we have creates something greater than you are by yourself.

You simply can't walk with the Lord in any effectiveness or any depth at all without a continuing unfolding revelation of Him.

To really get the foundation, to really get the real depth of who the Lord is and to stay on track with what the Holy Spirit is speaking, your revelation really needs to come from the Word.

Even reading the Word, you have to have a revelation. Otherwise, it's just a book with stories.

You have that knowledge by revelation, and every word that you read leaps off the page and ignites our hearts, because it is alive.

REFERENCES:

Matthew 16; 15-17

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Proverbs 3: 5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

I Corinthians 8: 2

If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know.

Galatians 1:12

For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

TAKE AWAY:

When Jesus ascended to the Father, He said He would send an Advocate to walk with us and to lead us into all the Truth. This is very important in order to keep us pressing in to know the Lord and see what He is doing. The Holy Spirit can help us to have a revelation and take steps to grow in our relationship with the Lord. It's important to get a foundation in His Word and ask Him to make that Word real—to get an unfolding revelation.

INTRODUCTION:

The priesthood of Christ is coming forth as a ministry different from the priesthood described in the Scriptures. This anointing will manifest through the Body of Christ, a people who have been purified until they have a true submission and humility to do God's work.

SHOW NOTES:

As the Body of Christ transforms out of the Church Age into the beginning of the Kingdom, the functions of the various parts changes, In the Church Age, you have apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. With the emergence of the Kingdom, God brings forth a priesthood.

The person who is entering into the priesthood may go through things in the Lord that he does not understand, but he can do as Mary did (hide it in your heart—Luke 2:51), and seek to get a revelation of what He wants you to submit to.

The priesthood of the Kingdom will have worked in their lives submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

God will refine the priesthood of the Kingdom after the example of Christ, having a humility to do the Father's will.

This remnant will manifest His love as humble channels created to establish His people to love and worship Him.

QUOTATIONS:

This word of submission comes by revelation, because I do't think that you can submit to the Lord, or even to the Lord in your brother and sister, without a revelation of Christ.

Submission is a thing of heart, not the mind.

We've come to a day of total submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

These principles—something that you can't escape, and you can't hide from, and you can't fake it for sure.

One of the keys to submission is humility, and that is a very important key.

The apostolic ministries in Ephesians chapter 4 created in them a level of love and humility that enabled them to be the kings and priests.

Many times God will teach us humility, and from that we learn love and from that we learn submission.

REFERENCES:

I Peter 2:9

But you are a “chosen race, a royal priesthood. A holy nation, a people for God's own possession”, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Ephesians 4:11-13

And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

Ephesians 1:22

And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church.

Hebrews 4:14-15

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.

I Peter 2: 5

you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Matthew 23: 11-12

But the greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

Matthew 25:20-21

The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, “Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.” His master said to him, “Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.”

I Corinthians 15:28

When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

TAKE AWAY:

We prepare our hearts for this new level. In the Kingdom Age, we will learn humility and love as the Holy Spirit guides us, then experiences of submission so that we can become that holy priesthood that the Scriptures have promised. This new relationship in the Body of Christ can manifest the truer worship that the Father has been seeking. He is to be all in all.

Summary:

The five fold ministry of Christ was to bring forth the Body of Christ into a maturity, into the fullness of Christ in the earth. These gift ministries are not a position but a commission to servitude to the Body of Christ just as their Lord and Master came to serve the Father's will in the earth.

Quotes:

There's a lot of people out there today that say we don't need apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. But the problem is we do.

We need these apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, they all serve a purpose.

The whole point of apostles and prophets is to build up the body. And basically they're servants.

...as we go on into this kingdom manifestation within His body, there will be many apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, but you won't even know who they are.

There will be no identifiable positions in the kingdom .

The flow of the family, the flow of the body, is going to be for the building up of the body of Christ, not the identifying of certain ministries.

An apostolic ministry was sent .

...the ministry of an apostolic ministry is to build up, to minister to, to shepherd the flock.

A prophet has a shepherd's heart.

Evangelist, he works within the body, within the church, as an encouragement.

The shepherd leads the sheep into the place where they can partake of the best meadow, the best of the food. And they watch over these people, they watch over these sheep, and bring them forth into the fullness .

All of them were for that purpose, to build up the body of Christ.

References:

Ephesians 4:11-16

And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors an teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

Galatians 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

John 13:4

He got up from supper and *laid His outer garments aside; and He took a towel and tied it around Himself.

Takeaway:

Christ gave the five fold ministries to the church. These gift ministries are servants to the Body and bond servants to Christ until we all attain to the knowledge of God, into a mature man, into the fullness of Christ in this earth.

SUMMARY:

Finding and accepting the Lord is not a one-time experience. There can be so much more than the salvation experience. Believe that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him and tell Him you want to know Him. Submitting your life to the Lord can be a turning point.

SHOW NOTES:

Developing a relationship with the Lord is an unfolding experience.

A person must empty out to life on one level in order to open up to life on a new level.

Many believers have a mental acceptance of Jesus Christ, but in order to get out of the reasoning process, they must enter into a flow of revelation.

The growth and development of a believer who is hungry for a walk with God, must come to a point of giving his focus to know Him.

He is your creator. He wants to know what is in your heart, what is in your mind. Talk to Him.

QUOTATIONS:

If you want to walk with God, “you must take up your cross daily and follow Me.” So there's a dying out to self that's required in your coming into the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

I think another key to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the beginning of it anyway, is revelation. You must have a revelation of the Lord.

The Lordship of Jesus Christ is not a one-time experience. It's a beginning.

It goes from experience to experience where we realize how deep Christ being our Lord really is.

Every experience in God is expandable.

The Lordship of Jesus Christ will be there to inhabit those that cry out to Him.

A lot of our time that we spend before the Lord, He wants you to open up to Him, to talk to Him.

REFERENCES:

Luke 9:23

And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

Hosea 6:3

So let’s learn, let’s press on to know the Lord. His appearance is as sure as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, As the spring rain waters the earth.”

Philippians 3:14

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Revelation 3:20

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

TAKE AWAY:

The Lordship of Jesus Christ is a growing process of one who is submitting his will to the will of the Father. Discovering that will comes in the interaction of a believer with the One he accepts as his head, Jesus Christ. This is not simply an individual experience, but it contributes to the bigger goal of manifesting Christ as Lord over the whole earth.

Summary:

The family enters into a prophetic flow of the Holy Spirit as they speak God's Word and frame a new age.

Quotes:

Sons are come to birth and travail is in the land.

The son's realizing this it's going to resound forth in the earth.

Do we believe in life? Yes, we believe in life.

This is a day when the Lord is calling us up higher into a realm of spirit that He has provided for us. It's already been provided through His death on the cross.

Now the commission that rests upon us is to see this gospel of the kingdom to go to the earth ends of the earth for a witness.

O lord, the cry that we come in to know You.

Heaven has come to earth, and it's dwelling in His people in a many membered body. And it's being expressed in the earth.

We say even so, come Lord Jesus. Come make Your presence known to us. Make Your presence known to the earth.

It's time for every need to bow and every time to confess the lordship of Jesus Christ in the earth.

References:

Isaiah 66:8

Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day? Can a nation be given birth all at once? As soon as Zion was in labor, she also delivered her sons.

But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down),

Matthew 6:10

Your kingdom come.

Psalm 18:19

He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.

Philippians 2:10-11

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth an that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Haggai 2:9

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.

Takeaway:

This has been another experience of the Holy Spirit moving through Christ family as they speak His Word in this earth and frame the new age of the Kingdom.

Summary:

Salvation is the beginning step in our relationship with the Lord. As we reach into that relationship we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and begin a process of giving up our life as we begin to submit to His Lordship in our life. This leads us into the greatest joy anyone can know – to know Him.

Show Notes:

Salvation is the beginning step in the Lordship of Jesus Christ in your life.

You must give your life over totally to Him.

We must lay down our thoughts, ways and understanding and take on His thoughts, ways etc.

We receive the gift of the Holy Spirit that leads us into His Lordship in our lives.

As we grow in our relationship with the Lord our experiences deepen with Him and we begin to know Him.

Quotes:

It seems that the lordship of Jesus Christ begins with salvation. That step of salvation is the beginning of a walk with God.

When we first accept the Lord, we believe that He was raised again and that He's living. So we come into a walk with God. Do you have a relationship with Him yet? No, because that has to be developed.

You really don't know the Lord until you come into the place where you accept Him and relate to Him as the Lord of your life.

We're set apart to Christ becoming our head, Christ becoming our Lord.

Being under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, one of the first things that happens is the dethroning of your carnal mind, the dethroning of your thinking, your ways, and everything that you would choose you're laying down .

When you've accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He gives you a the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Show me, lead me, direct me, and let me come into your presence. Let me know you. Not just about you, but to really know You.

References:

1 Corinthians 11:3

But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

Galatians 2:20

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly.

Philippians 2:12

So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Takeaway:

The Lordship of Jesus Christ in a believer's life begins with his salvation experience. With the gift of the Holy spirit the believer begins a lifelong process of experiences with the Lord as he begins to really know Him in truth.

SUMMARY:

The words we speak are to be Spirit and life. Anyone can put ideas together, so people comprehend on a human level; but the goal is to appropriate on the divine level. We are learning to draw more of the Lord, to penetrate into Him even more, and then to focus in faith as we speak. Skip the term, “oneness” and use the word “interpenetrate.” As we apply this, we experience His presence-- we are abiding in the Lord and He is abiding in us.

SHOW NOTES:

Jesus spent a lot of time waiting on the Lord. He was penetrating into the Father as a man.

We are coming into a time of the Body of Christ, when a person thinks less and less as an individual and more as being part of the Body of Christ.

We are learning to draw more of the Lord, to penetrate into Him even more, and then to focus in faith to the needs of others.

The best example of interpenetration is the relationship of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

How do we penetrate into Him? By waiting on Him, by listening to His word, worshiping Him.

We are in a day of the leading of the Holy Spirit, as He penetrates into our spirit and we penetrate into His Spirit.

QUOTATIONS:

He is creating a oneness in the Family where even our individual pursuit of the Lord is swallowed up in the oneness of the organism of the Body of Christ.

The melting together in our spirits, the oneness, and that releases the power of God, the authority of God in ways that we don't even—will never—reach into individually.

That is an all-inclusive thing, to where our success is based upon what we do together.

We are all taking that unique ministry of a part of the Body of Christ, and we're coming together making it work.

As we open up to the interpenetration of God into us, it comes in and penetrates our whole being, penetrates our thinking, and it becomes His thinking.

Look at the way the Holy Spirit, the Son, and the Father function. You can't separate them.

I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.

John 15:7

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

TAKE AWAY:

The things that we as believers are experiencing is less and less as isolated individuals. In this interpenetration of the spirit, we are joining in with those who are focused on the Word of the Lord, on the Father's Family and the coming forth of the Kingdom of God. The interpenetration of God and man comes about by the Holy Spirit. He is in the process of invading our spirits and our thinking, as we draw on Him.

Summary:

As gentiles we have been grafted through Christ into the root of Israel. This deep revelation of where we fit in God's overall plan shows us that all the promises and covenants in the the scriptures are ours, as we are one with God's family in the earth today.

Show Notes:

Finding out how God looks at Israel is simply done by looking into what He has said about them in the scriptures.

Israel is our older brother in God and as we pray for and they receive the fulfillment's if God we also receive those same fulfillment's, (Because we are a part of the family.)

We are grafted into the rich root of God with Israel.

Everything in the bible is our heritage as we are grafted into what already exists.

Antisemitism is in our schools and everywhere in the World. We must not have any of that spirit in our hearts.

We are grafted in through Christ.

The feast are the cycle that God has set-up to bring salvation to it's fullness to His creation.

We must find where we fit into God's plan today.

Quotes:

All the hubbub that we've been through lately for the last, I don't know how many years, about Israel. All you need to do, if you want to clear it all up, is just read the scriptures about them.

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

Takeaway:

Israel is our older brother and therefore our hearts reach out to love, bless and pray for them. As realize that we have been grafted into the root of Israel through Christ, we become obedient to God's Word that says to love, bless and pray for Israel. Our hearts reach out to our older brother to see them enter into all that God has for them in this day.

Summary:

As we recognize our deep need for the divine nature we cry out in a hunger that appropriates His nature. Through the provision that Christ won on the cross we then become those overcomers and are able to walk as Christ walked in this earth.

Show Notes:

We cry out to the Father to receive of His divine nature.

As we worship we are in a place of appropriation.

As we move into the divine nature we overcome the things within and without.

The principles of waking with God we don't discard, but they are what we walk in as we grow in Him.

We give our selves to the Lord which opens the door of appropriation.

Our appropriation starts at the foot of His cross.

There should be an expectancy and anticipation within us that at the end of each day we have more of God in our lives than ever before.

Quotes:

...you start crying out for the divine nature in every aspect.

First thing in appropriation is a thanksgiving out of my mouth.

You're positioned in worship and appropriation, because worship is appropriation.

He's trying to put you in a corner so that you'll reach into the divine nature and become something and you become it, you overcome it.

God is giving you choices. It's up to you to take them. It's up to you to appropriate them.

You commit your spirit to Him. That opens the door for appropriation, and it opens the door to everything.

Worship, communion. Those are two major places we can appropriate.

This whole thing about the blood of Jesus Christ and that provision is the foundation of appropriation.

We've grown spiritually all of our lives, and we should still be growing, and we should still be appropriating, and anticipating, and declaring, and requiring that at the end of the day, you know what, I am richer spirit, soul, and body, and tomorrow I will be even more richer.

Takeaway:

Christ opened the door through His cross for us to cry out to the Father and receive of His divine nature. It's this appropriation of the nature of God that enables us to walk as His overcomes in this earth.
