Live Behind The Veil

Summary:

Walking in the footsteps of Jesus begins with learning obedience. The things that we go through mold us into what God wants. Suffering is used by the Father to develop us into His sons. The result is a relationship in His presence and God pouring out His holiness on us.

Show Notes:

Do you believe God feels pain? He feels pain when He sees what has happened to His creation, especially the miserable plight that the human race has manifested.

Why do people suffer? It may not have been the plan for individuals, but some seem to open up in a deeper way through suffering. This is a mystery.

As a forerunner, Christ experienced suffering as he matured, not just when he was crucified.

As Paul wrote, it's a privilege to help fill up the sufferings of Christ.

He disciplines for our own good so that we may share in His holiness. It’s our choice.

Quotes:

We see in the gospels how Jesus thought and reacted.

Matthew 23:37

“How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.

Suffering has a way of either opening your heart wide, or it closes it.

He allows you to go through it because you're going to open up to His love in a deeper way.

The pain and sufferings we go through are allowing us to touch a part of God that is real too, that nobody wants to talk about or even acknowledge.

We're becoming more like the Lord, who became more like His Father.

This is what we're in this process of. We're becoming more like our Father who created us after His image.

Hebrews 5:7-8

Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.

Colossians 1:24

 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am supplementing what is lacking a]">[a]in Christ’s afflictions in behalf of His body, which is the church.

Isaiah 6:5

Then I said,

“Woe to me, for I am ruined!

Philippians 3:10

“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.”

Romans 8:16-17

“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children heirs also heirs of God, and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.”

Isaiah 53:3

“”He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.”

Hebrews 12:1

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

Takeaway:

Part of our growing process with the Father can be quite painful. Sometimes He uses the things we go through to mold us into what He created us to be. We are following after Christ who is our pattern Son who learned obedience by the things He suffered.

Show Notes:

People cannot be “taught” into the kingdom of God, it must come by revelation through the Holy Spirit.

It’s our hungering and thirsting after the Lord that opens up that deep relationship with Him.

As we enter into this one on one relationship with the Lord, the Holy Spirit begins to make the Word come alive to us.

Our hungering and thirsting after God starts with our human initiative.

Because our relationship with the Lord is on His terms and not ours, our human initiative turns into spiritual initiative as we mature in Him.

Everything has changed, and the way I look at things is different now because I am hearing from God.

Quotes:

Two people can be in a room, and they can be hearing the same words. One can open his heart to the Lord and hear what God is speaking to him, and the other one never get it, never understand it.

It's about existing by the relationship you have with Him in the Spirit.

I know that a lot of people will tell you how to get there But the only way you're gonna get there is to hunger and thirst after God.

When you have a relationship; you develop that relationship with the Lord, come to know who He is, then the word becomes alive to you.

It's a simple thing. It's simply opening up your heart to know who the Lord is. "Lord, I want to know you."

That's why we were saying spirit, soul, and body, because so much of this actually starts in human initiative.

...as we grow and mature, that human initiative turns into spiritual initiative.

But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

Summary:

The gift of God’s grace is extended to everyone. As we humble ourselves to receive His unlimited grace, we realize that it is God working in us His nature. Through His grace we are enabled to become and to do of His good pleasure.

Show Notes:

Grace is a gift from God.

God’s love and grace extends to everyone and as we see this we cease from our striving and enter into His rest.

We cannot judge the amount of grace that anyone is walking in.

We must be responsible to walk out the words from God as we receive His grace each day. It’s grace to become and to do.

By His grace He is clothing us with His nature.

As we walk in His grace we become aware that everything we are and do is all Him working in us for His good pleasure.

We must humble ourselves to prepare to receive His grace.

The humility that you walk in is by the grace of God. He walks you through that experience, that impartation. He’s creating in us the humility, the love, the authority that He wants to move through.

In all this we are becoming His sons that walk in His joy and fulfillment.

Quotes:

We're entering into a level of rest; of the Father's rest. Rest from our own works and striving and enter into His rest.

I'm learning that God's love and grace extends to everyone…

I look at grace as something personal, very personal between me and the Father.

...if you're walking in grace, how responsible are you because you receive that grace? That's the other side of grace. What are you doing with the grace that was shown to you from God?

Faith, or grace, or love, it's not us. . It's God working in us for everything. When you start seeing that, more and more you relax because you know the whole thing was God.

How do I prepare to receive His grace? If I say, Lord, give me Your grace, I've got to humble myself.

There's no limitations on what God can do. It's up to us to give Him a voice. It's up to us to give Him a, an abode, a place where He can live.

This is a day of understanding that God has created us into who we are and what we are becoming.

Matthew 11:28-30

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Takeaways

As God moves among His creation He moves with love and expectation toward those He has poured out His grace, peace and joy on. Those who choose to enter His rest are rewarded with a greater portion of His nature imparted to them.

Summary:

In this new day of Spirit, the Holy Spirit is imparting through each member of the body, one to another. This impartation unfolds differently for each person as they feed upon His Word and are learning how to use their spiritual faculties so that they can walk in the Spirit with the Lord.

Show Notes:

The Holy Spirit may speak and reveal things differently to each person because we are all unique.

Each member contributes his part of what is going on in the flow of the Holy Spirit.

We are learning to use our spiritual faculties.

We don’t stop but we stay in motion so that the Lord can guide us into these new realms.

The renewing of your mind has been by an impartation by the Lord through many people.

As we feed upon the Word that He speaks to us from our brother and sister, we grow and mature.

We are determined to appropriate all the God has for us today.

1 John 2:26 – 27

These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. 27 And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you remain in Him.

Mathew 4:4

(Read how we feed upon the Word)

Takeaway:

It is a day of Spirit and as each unique member of His body walks in the Spirit they become a source of impartation to every other member. The many faceted body of Christ speaks, feeds and is transformed by the Word of God that they have become as they follow their Lord day by day.

Worship is where we go into the presence of the Lord and appropriate the Word that we heard, made available to us by revelation.

Summary:

As this new realm is opening up to God’s people, they must each experience Christ in themselves and in one another. Christ is speaking in His family as each member speaks what Christ within them has revealed. In this atmosphere the true revelation of Christ is appearing and being imparted. In all this Christ continues to intercede for us as He is ushering us into the presence of the Father.

Show Notes:

This new realm is opening up by revelation.

As we enter into this realm, we stand on His promises and He answer’s us.

As Christ is revealed in us we are aware that He is the Word in us.

Christ is being revealed in His many membered body.

Christ in you must be an experience to your heart.

God has said He'll drop everything that we've ever learned that's registered on a human level, and it'll become an old day that we have to discard.

These new experiences that we are to receive will be imparted through our brother’s and sister’s.

We want to walk humbly and hear His voice through one another.

As we are moving as the Christ in the earth, Christ our head is interceding for us that we may come into a new relationship with the Father.

As Christ brings us into this relationship to the Father, our relationship changes in how we are now relating to the Father.

Quotes:

What I see happening is a deeper level of revelation is called the voice of the Lord.

All we have to do is call upon God and He has to answer us and show us great things. We can come to Him and know that we will receive an answer.

When the Lord Jesus is revealed in us, and we're aware, He is the Word, and His Word is always a sure thing, because He has been revealed, in us, not to us from the outside.

We have come to the day Where Christ revealed in His body, in his People - in us.

Everything is moving, moving, moving to bring us into the revelation of Himself in us.

This is a mystery and you don't get a mystery with the human mind. It has to be a revelation. It has to be an experience to your heart.

...I think those revelations, those experiences, I have to believe are imparted through one another.

I believe that Christ in us is speaking, and if we're open to hear His voice, we're going to move in together into this new realm.

I want to walk simply before the Lord. Hear His voice in a many membered body.

Where we're at right now is Christ is taking us, and He's giving us back to the Father as the fulfillment of His ministry.

What is Christ doing? What's He doing right now? He's making intercession for us, day and night. Why? We're in that process of being turned over to the Father, and He's praying that we make that step into the Father to complete this.

...He is the door that we walk through into the spirit realm, into the kingdom, into the presence of the Father.

Christ delivers the kingdom up within us to the Father, and we begin to come into this relationship that we call our Father.

1 Corinthians 12:12-13

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

Philippians 3:13

Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,…

Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

I Corthians 15: 23 -25

But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming, 24 then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to our God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

Takeaway:

In this new realm of Spirit that we are living in, we are coming into the revaluation of Christ with in us speaking. As Christ speaks through His many membered body it reveals and imparts His nature and brings the completion of His lordship within each member of His body as He hands us over to the Father. A whole new realm of relationship to God opens up to His family.

We believe in a triune being, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is one, we are one. That is the introduction in the mystery that we are moving into. The mystery is being unveiled.

Summary:

Today the family is reaching into a new realm, and a new anointing is resting within them. This anointing comes by the Holy Spirit and is manifesting in the laying of their lives down in love for one another. They are following in the footsteps of the Master as He laid down His life for us all.

Show Notes:

We each have received a special anointing of the Holy Spirit to function with in His family.

He is drawing us into what we looked for our whole lives, a relationship with God. He creates in us a walk with Him in this realm.

With this anointing we are speaking the Word of God to one another.

This is a new realm in God and we will lose our soul life and yet it will be our greatest joy.

In this new realm we are laying our lives down in love for one another.

As we walk on in this new realm, the Father works in us His nature so that we walk in the same way Jesus walked.

Only as we see our brother through the Father’s eyes, can we truly serve and love our brother.

Takeaway:

To the extent that you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it unto Me. This is becoming a reality to those who are pressing into this new realm of His love today. His anointing comes to release us into a flow of His love one to another as we lay our lives down for the family.

I’m no longer calling you servants, because servants don’t understand what their Master is doing. Everything I have received from My Father, I give to you.

Summary:

Our Father offers simple solutions to the complex and impossible situations our human mind produces. He opens the door when asked for His solution; the mind of Christ is His provision.

Show Notes:

The Lord takes us to a place of utter devastation so that we don’t trust in anything except Him.

God saying, “I want to give you a new mind, a new heart, and a new spirit.”

Our mind and our emotions are probably the greatest access the enemy has to us. How do we appropriate the mind of Christ?

This utter devastation produces within us a broken spirit and a contrite heart which God does not despise.

We must come to the place of total trust in Him as He is giving us His mind.

We must persist in our putting on the mind of Christ.

I wished it happened overnight and it does as much as I can handle.. To me there is a tremendous amount of grace involved.

Hebrews 13:5

Let your conversation be without covetousness ;and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Takeaway:

As God deals with our carnal mind He takes us to a place of utter devastation in our life. This produces within us a broken and contrite spirit as we learn not to trust in anything of ourselves but to put on the mind of Christ and wholly trust in every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
