Live Behind The Veil

Summary:

As we trust God and believe His Word, He walks with us through all that we go through. As Christ's nature and this deep relationship with the Lord come forth within us, we come to a place that He keeps us and we are sealed in to our relationship with Him for eternity.

Show Notes:

As you trust God and believe what He says, He walks you through the hard times.

The is a level in your relationship with God that He will not let you leave Him.

Your eternal destiny begins to manifest as the Word begins to mature you in your relationship with the Lord.

There is a “Eternal Security” for those who have Christ formed in them. The Father will no longer allow His sons to be “crucified” again.

We are totally dependent on the Father to finish what He has started in us.

Quotes:

It would be harder to leave this relationship with the Father, than anything I can think of.

I would rather not live, then not be bonded to the Father.

God does hold, hold us in there. And He will not let us go. If He's predestined us as sons, we're going to make it through.

We're beyond the point of losing out. It's not a possibility. It won't happen. And it's because God won't let it.

God has taken up His abode. Because the last breath of my flesh is coming very rapidly. To where I truly say it is no longer I but it's Him.

The joy of the Lord is the most precious place you can be.

when He comes to be glorified among His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—because our testimony to you was believed.

Take Away:

As we walk with the Lord in this deep relationship of trust and believing His Word, we come to the place in our relationship with Him of recognizing our eternal destiny and sonship. Being justified and glorified by Him we are sealed in an eternal relationship with Him as His bond servants.

Summary:

As we go deeper in our walk with the Lord, we come into an awareness of what we are not and this produces within us a cry for change. This hunger to know Him and to have His nature, drives us into His presence and brings forth a fruitful repentance.

Show Notes:

As we press into the Lord we realize that the only true change comes when we stand in His presence.

We must ask the Holy Spirit to help us with this, to lead us into His way of change.

Our hunger after Him drives us deeper and deeper into His presence.

As God puts His finger in the things of our lives, we cry out to Him and drive into His presence for change.

As we open up to Him in a new place that is where we will find the fruit.

Our Reward for repentance and driving into Is presence is His joy.

Quotes:

It has to come out of a meeting with God, because He's the only one who can make this work.

I need help with this, I do not know how to do it myself. I do not know how to turn from everything that I've grown up with that I've been conditioned by. Lord help me...

You have to have the attitude to go after it, to get this deep repentance.

This has got be working in my heart, I'm tired of being less than what God wants me to be.

We can go a long time, and then all of a sudden, God puts His finger on something. And when He puts His finger on something, okay, that's when we have to move.

If you have a desire to know the Lord, if you really want to know the Lord, and you really want to be a ministry, for Him, be a channel for Him, then you have to be willing to open up to who you have been, and who He wants you to be. But the Holy Spirit has to reveal that to you.

With sin comes separation.

Repentance, stops the separation. I want to get closer to you, God, where do you start? You start with repentance. It's getting you so that you can get closer to God by getting rid of something that you didn't even know you had.

...you humble yourself before the Lord. That is an action that you take.

The reward that we get from being in His presence, doing His will on the earth is joy.

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Samuel 11-12

Psalm 51

Take Away:

Today as we reach in to know the Lord we cone face to face with the awareness of what we are not. This produces a drive in us to change. As we hunger after Him we find that fruitful repentance and change can only come as we stand in His presence and are changed from glory to glory by the Lord. Is there any greater joy than turning to the presence of the Lord?

Summary:

As God matures us, He gives us the opportunity to reach the depth of our spirit. The things that hinder or block the flow of His Spirit through us is being removed. As God speaks His Word ,He test that Word in us until it is refined. This daily lifestyle creates a child like spirit that is open, teachable, and creates within us the joy of the Lord.

Show Notes:

God is digging deeper in the lives of His sons to create a perfection in them.

As we mature in the Lord, He opens the door for us to see the things that are deeper in our spirits.

After God speaks a Word to you, He will come to test that Word in you.

The deep repentance exposes us to God and we change.

God's attributes are imparted to us as we repent and are exposed to Him.

In the depth of this repentance, our flesh nature is gone and Christ's nature comes forth in us.

This deep repentance becomes a life style of a open spirit before the Lord.

The overflow of this deep repentant lifestyle is His joy.

Quotes:

Repentance is something that as we grow in the Lord, God goes deeper. The depth that He goes to, is the desire of His heart that you are perfected in His sight.

You need to be pure in your way of relating, so that He can use you as a channel...

As God matures us, He gives us the opportunity to reach the depth of our spirit.

It's this deep repentance that exposes us to God. That's going to be the thing that's going to change us, is the exposure to God.

As you expose yourself, then all of a sudden you start taking on God's attributes.

Your flesh is gone. The only thing that is left is the Christ in you the hope of glory.

In repentance, there's a state of heart, is a state of being that you can come to every day, by a decision that you make. And that is, Lord, I open my heart, and I keep my heart open.

By His grace, His mercy, Him sticking with you till it's finished. That's the drive of a mature Christian. Our approach to repentance is you shall be pure as your heavenly Father is pure. Weren't you created in His image?

I actually think repentance is an open spirit, before the Lord every day.

I think our repentance is going to be so full of joy.

...a great definition of repentance. A childlike spirit, a child's heart. That's why God loves the little children.

Romans 8:1

Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Take Away:

As God matures His sons today we are driven by the Holy Spirit to go deeper in the perfection of our spirit's before Him. When you have turned away, in that deep, deep, deep repentance you won't remember what you did. Your flesh is gone and the only thing that is left is the Christ in you the hope of glory. Out of the depth of our hearts begins to flow the purity of His Word as His joy fills our lives.

Summary:

In this day we must have a deep relationship with the Lord and one another that is without the bonds of obligation and oppression. Giving the greatest gift God has given us, our free will, back to Him, and not to anything else is what He is after. It's all about the Lordship of Jesus Christ over our lives.

Show Notes:

God is raising up sons who know who they are.

We must walk with God without bonds and obligations to anything if we are to please Him.

You cannot have a walk with God if you got bonds. That's not just with people, it's religious concepts, ideas, and obligations.

The less we are bonded to anything the freer we are to express our hearts.

We must decide where we are going to give our free will. What are we going to be bonded too? Will we give it to other things or God?

Being bonded to one another in relationship through the Holy Spirit is a bond that creates life.

We are losing all our concepts, ways of thinking and things we have been bonded to other than Him, as we all come into His Lordship.

Quotes:

Knowing that you have this relationship with the Lord, you're not concerned about losing out with God, not doing enough, we have to come out of that whole arena of being obligated.

You cannot have a walk with God, the way He wants you to walk with Him, if you've got bonds.

It's really a foreign concept to Americans because we are free and we are independent. That's not God's sons. By His Spirit, He is setting us all free to be something that we could never be by our own will, our own attempts.

It's all about your heart, being free and expressing or being who you are, in the Lord.

What are you going to do with your freedom? Are you going to give it to the Father and become bonded to him? Or you're going to give it to a career? A man or a woman? Ideas? A government? Or are you going to take the greatest gift you have from God that free will, and you're gonna give it to Him?

We can either get poisoned through bonds, or we can get the flow of life through bonds.

I can't walk with you in the Spirit unless I'm bonded to you. And how am I bonded? Because we're listening to the same Holy Spirit.

We're bought with a price? And we're not our own? And from that point, if you're His and you're submissive to Him, then the relationships that you make from that place should be under His Lordship.

We're free to serve the Lord. We're free to submit to Him. And in our submission to Him, He orders our steps. I think it really is that simple.

That's the message we've heard, the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We grow up into the head, the Lord Jesus in us, His lordship. That's Christ speaking through us.

But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not leave as a free man,’ then his master shall bring him to God, then he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him permanently.

John 14, 15, 16, 17

Take Away:

Today we must be free from everything that would be a negative influence in our relationship to the Lord. As we mature in Him we are finding that our freedom is to serve Him and His people.

Summary:

On the day of Pentecost Christ bumbling disciples became those who turned the world up-side down. Today, there is a people that God has raised up that once again will turn the World up-side down and bring the gospel of the living Word of God to the earth.

Show Notes:

Before the day of Pentecost, Christ disciples were moving as mere humans, but after Pentecost they became those doing the exploits, signs and wonders as they turned the World upside down.

Today God has a people He has raised up to speak His Word in the Earth and bring forth His Kingdom.

God is doing a deep work in the spirit's of His people.

You must know who you are and know that the Word you speak is a Word from God.

God is doing a quick work in the earth today.

Now we are in the age of Spirit.

You can walk in His Word as you open your heart to it today.

God is unconditionally faithful to His own Word.

We have become those with a heritage of all the promises of God resting on us.

Quotes:

We're speaking the gospel of the living Word of God into the earth.

He's doing a deep deep work. Because he's not worried about the fruit as much as he was worrying about the work He's doing in a people's spirits, because he knows the fruit is gonna come. This is eternal.

You have to believe that the word that you speak is the word of God. You have to believe in your relationship with the Lord. And you stand on that.

His Word, you can hear it in the morning and you can walk in it as soon as you receive it into your heart, into your spirit and it becomes a part of you.

Just how much do you believe God? How much do you believe His Word?

God is gonna get out of me the worshiper that he created at the beginning. He's gonna get out of me that son that he wanted, he's gonna get out of me His word being returned back to Him. That's what He wants.

We're a generation that lives with a heritage of I Am, with a strong knowledge of I Am right now. And we also live with the promises of I Am.

What's in your heart? Unconditional love for my brother. Unconditional love for the Word.

Take Away:

We must not compare what God is doing today with the early church. You must be seeking the Lord for what He is doing today. On the day of Pentecost the church was born by men and women speaking a Word from God. In this day a people are speaking a gospel of the Kingdom which will change this age and bring forth God's Kingdom to this earth.

Summary:

Today many Christians are looking for the return of Christ. His return is happening now within His many membered body. Everyday Christ is appearing to His people through the Living Word He speaks through His people. They are changed from glory to glory as they behold Him today. Are you aware of Him? Are you aware of His appearing today?

Show Notes:

Christ appearing in this end time is not way off in the future, it's happening now in His many membered body.

As He appears everyday we are changed into His likeness.

As His transformation is happening within us, we recognize that this is all His doing and nothing of ourselves.

We are no longer putting off His appearing as some big event in the future. He is appearing right now in our midst.

We don't know the day or the hour. I'm not going to miss it today.

Quotes:

Christ is something that we're all looking very hard for.

I realized that His coming, and His appearing and us being like Him, as He appears, is not off in the future.

He's appearing to me right now. And I'm like Him right now.

He's the potter and we're the clay.

Him appearing in the clouds or He appears in your room or whatever. That's a rapture theory. When God's appearing in our midst, right now.

It's like you wanted to slap your spirit – wake up! Your not going to live more than your living right now. Don't take for granted today.

The Word says that we'll see Him when we're looking for Him. And I do know that if we're looking for the Christ to appear in our brother, we'll see it.

Summary:

How have the things that you have went through in your life affected your attitude towards life and God? Are you aware that even the hard things that you have gone trough God was in creating and shaping your spirit? Even your ancestors have had God's dealing in their lives to bring forth a linage of spirit that would walk before Him with a humble and contrite heart. Today we take on the Father's heart of forgiveness and love so He can have what He has always wanted, sons that love Him with all their heart.

Show Notes:

God puts us through many things as we grow up and they are all for our good.

Through everything we go through, God is creating a broken, humble people.

God is our Father and He is real to me. He never leaves or forsakes me.

Even our ancestors have had God's dealings working in their lives to bring forth a lineage that would walk before Him humbly.

Today we appropriate the Father's heart of forgiveness to be pleasing to Him.

Quotes:

I think God is making us in to really a broken humble people.

I think we've got to really admit that we need to open our eyes and see where God has been very active in our lives when we didn't even know it.

I'm a result of God dealing with my ancestors...

Why do I forgive? Why do I want to reach into the righteousness that comes with forgiveness? Because I want my father to be happy.

Summary:

Man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Today the Word of God is being spoken by little groups of people throughout the earth. Their continual proclamation has deep significance. It sweeps away deception and brings them into the inheritance of God. This flow of His Word is the agent of change in the hearts of His people as Christ manifest Himself in their midst by the Word.

Show Notes:

Today God is manifesting Himself through the Word that is being spoken by His people.

Little groups of believers are coming together to speak His Word in a creative flow of the Holy Spirit.

The flow of the Word that is created in these little groups becomes the very purifying work of the Holy Spirit within them.

This process of becoming by His Word through us is where we enter into His rest as we just focus on Him.

It is happening before your eyes, that impartation is happening.

Quotes:

God give us a revelation of how much of that Word we can eat and partake of that enables us to become the sons You desire to be this day and walk pleasing in Your sight.

As you speak it, you will become it, as you speak it, it will happen.

And He can only fill you up so far to overflowing, and then you've got to give out so He can fill you up with more.

We're moving into life, on a level that people have never experienced. It's a greater work, because it's not in the individual. It's coming forth in his many member body.

His victory will be manifested through us when we walk in His rest, and as we're walking now ministering life in the Word ...

Small groups of believers today are speaking God's Word one to another which is ministering life, and love as we are watching each one of us grow and mature. This flow of the Word is the cleansing and creative flow that releases Christ within us and the force to bring us into the inheritance that God wants.

Summary:

“You'll hear a voice behind you, this is the way walk in it.” I would call that the Abraham walk. Just as Abraham the father of our faith went out not knowing where he was going, being obedient because God made it real to is heart. We too must leave everything we have ever known to enter into this new realm of walking with God in the now.

Show Notes:

As Abraham our Father in the faith, we too must leave all that we have known to enter into what God has for us today.

All God's promises are unfolding before us today.

In this new day we must walk in revelation to see what He is doing and saying.

A new Age of Spirit has opened up and people are being drawn into it to know Him now. It's already happening.

Quotes:

It is a now experience, moment by moment that God is bringing us into. And He's revealing to us moment by moment, the things that He will do, in us, if we just trust Him, and keep standing and believing and walking with Him.

Everything that God's ever done, will do, is already in motion in the realm of spirit. It's just a matter of us coming into it, walking into it, as we live there. All those promises are before us.

Every Word that God has ever spoken, it's taking a revelation by the Spirit to see it and understand it. If it's not a revelation to us, then we're not seeing it right, plain and simple.

It has to be that expectation of futuristic things, disappears. And we are walking in the now with the Lord on a moment by moment basis.

Do we really know what God is going to speak to our hearts on a moment by moment basis, unless we are walking with Him in the now?

Enter into that relationship with the Father, where when He speaks to you, hear His voice, and you just simply say. “OK Lord, that's what I will do.”

...this age is opening before us, is not just for a few weeks, months, or years, but an age that's opened of Spirit, and people are going to come and walk with God. Like the scripture says and join himself to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will not be broken.

Take Away:

As our father Abraham went out not knowing where he was going, but just trusting and being obedient to God, we too must leave all that we have known if we want to walk with God in this new realm of His presence today. We cannot ponder the things of the past because He is doing a new thing today. Will you be aware of it?
