  • Q&A for Courts and Councils

    I attended Harold Eberle’s Worldcast conference that included a round-table discussion which was interactive, respectful and healthy. We touched on some fair questions that deserve answers. I asked most of them myself in the past and now I’m starting to hear them multiple times. They are usually intellectual / theological and ask the larger heart question of “why do I need to do this?” I decided to collect them and provide a simple answer. If you think of additional questions or come up with better answers, please add them. Please don’t worry about offending me—you won’t.

    I came away from the conference with several impressions:

    • There is a door open to the council . . . the real definition of ecclesia is those who go there (Mt 16:18-19).
    • Courts and trading floors lay a foundation (walking in a spirit of repentance or purity), but we have to go on to books and a lifestyle of being present in the council and delivering the fruit (binding and loosing).
    • There is a place for preaching and teaching the fundamentals, but the real need is stories of delivering the goods from heaven to earth . . . especially from the other six mountains (it’s an experience that works more than a truth or a theology that preaches).
    • We have to stop trying to get other people to be priests, prophets and seers for us. Business people have to be pulled into this realm to fully inherit their place in the Kingdom.
    • Becoming a seer is everyone’s assignment / invitation . . . it’s for everyone more than a gift for a few. (just like baptism in the Holy Spirit, healing, prophecy, etc.)
    • There is a missing piece, i.e., 10’s of thousands want personal mentoring to navigate all this. How is a practical challenge. It’s a leap to go from a book or conference or video to an experience of seeing in heaven.
    • The mentality of the pastors tended toward: 1) how to manage / whether to permit it, 2) the theology of whether it’s true, 3) how to preach it and explain it . . . How to experience it themselves was the deeper question . . . some will now and all will eventually.
    • Two things I tried to refute:
    • There was one sentiment expressed that this was just for intercessors (false)
      some people have a seer gift and the rest of us don’t (false)
    • Minds were scrolling through the standard list of reasons of why I don’t need to do this (intellectually). The questions that were raised are interesting and representative and are addressed below.
    • The only thing wrong with this Q&A approach is that it suggests the gateway to courts and councils is through our heads. Answers to intellectual questions miss the point of the longing in our hearts. Logical answers to tough questions are not enough to convince anyone, but those who have tasted the experience of it still need answers for their “minds,” as we all do. I had all the same question.

    • Seeing Your Future Self

      Our hearts build our identity around pictures and movies that replay whenever we think about who we are and why we’re here. We have role models or heroes that inspire our own unique gifts and callings. In our youth we usually follow the examples of those we admire. There is a place in the council of heaven to see and collaborate with your future. Our Father can pull down the movie screen and show our future self. It’s time to do that. We even play a role in determining our future; it’s not completely scripted!

    • Going Up to a Mountain

      Our premise (and experience) is that the Keys of the Kingdom (Mt 16:18-19) is ascending to Heaven’s courts and councils to “see” what is already bound and loosed so we can play our Kingdom role on earth (very practical). Let’s look at the context of Jesus’ promise (cf. Heiser, Chapter 32).

      Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi (Mt. 16:13) and asked His disciples this question, “Who do men say that I am.” The disciples, and anyone with a Jewish background, know that this location is near Mt. Hermon. They also know the history of this particular mountain. It was the spot where the original divine council met to decide to go after the daughters of men, and also where they fell. This thought isn’t found in the Bible, but it was common Jewish knowledge from other popular literature at the time.

      And they were, in all, two hundred and they came down on Ardis, which is the summit of Mount Hermon.  And they called the mountain Hermon because on it they swore and bound one another with curses. Enoch 6:6

      In Old Testament times Mt. Hermon was know for Baal worship. During the Greek and Roman period it was a center for worship of Greek fertility Gods and was known as the “Gates of Hell.” (see link). That’s the context for Jesus making this statement:

      Mat. 16:18-20  – I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.  “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.   NASU

      Jesus redemption is the answer for us, but it’s also the answer for the fall of this divine council and the invitation for us (as sons of God) to repopulate that council and displace powers and principalities over the nations. All creation is waiting in eager expectation for these new sons of God to be revealed and liberate the world from bondage and decay into the glorious freedom of sons (cf. Rom. 8:18-24).

    • From Sinai to Jesus

      There is a huge Kingdom invitation in this season for God’s people to appear before the Lord in heaven. We’ve been discussing it in Gateway to Kingdom and Seers and Doers. At the same time there is resistance, fear and hesitancy in our hearts. Some say it’s a level of mysticism that is not healthy or Biblical. Others say is a special gift that I don’t have. Other hearts expect their 5-fold minister to do it for them.

      So, I just asked the Lord, “Why do we resist an invitation to your throne? . . . and to your courts and council?”

    • Seers and Doers

      Please read the introduction to this blog at Gateway to Kingdom. It gives the background.

      Why See? – God is teaching His sons to: 1) ascend, 2) see, and 3) loose what they see. It’s part of our Kingdom mandate to make a practical difference on earth. Our tradition is that God’s presence and anointing comes to us, but this shift is all about us appearing before Him in the courts and councils of heaven. Many are hearing this invitation to play their role in a reformation of nations by connecting the dots with their own “seer” gifting. You and I are invited too. It leads to “doing” what the father is doing. It’s not doctrinal or demanding. It’s a transforming experience with Jesus that is alive and fun!

      For a season, some will write this off as mysticism (just like tongues, prophecy, healing and deliverance). But one day the fruit, the overwhelming acceptance and the Biblical basis will be too much to criticize and then we’ll all be seers and doers. Father is inviting us to “come up here” and “appear” before Him and “see” what He is doing . . . Now!

      Rev 4:1 – “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” NIV

      Ps 84:7 “They go from strength to strength, every one of them appears before God in Zion.”  NASU

      John 5:19-21 – “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these.”  NIV

      Matt 16:19-20 – “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” NASB

    • Heaven – Gateway to Kingdom

      My kingdom theology is going through a new release. Here is the background on this contagious evolution. It’s probably like your own. God seems to update all of us in the same season.

    • Putting the Kabosh on Obstacles

      There are seven promises in Revelation 2 and 3 to overcomers. The Greek work is nikao, which means to subdue. Gen 1:28 immediately comes to mind where Adam is given the commission to multiply, replenish the earth and subdue it. In Hebrew subdue is kabosh.

      Rev 2:7 –  “to him who overcomes will I give” . . . 7 things. G3529 (nikao) = Subdue

      Gen 1:28 – “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it” (kabash)

      Subdue = H3533 (kabash) tread down, conquer, subjugate

      As sons we have a Father who wants us to put the kabosh on enemy strategies first and then give us some amazing promises second. I want to know how!

    • Overcomers Invitation to God’s Council

      Most of us were raised with a concept that God is High, Holy and He resides in heaven to sovereignly reign over ant-like people who continually struggle with problems. Since I viewed God as distant, I never fully grasped the impact of these concepts of proximity with Him:

      John 15:15-17 He calls us friends instead of servants, and makes known the Father’s business

      Eph. 2:6 God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms.

      1 Cor. 3:9 Jesus did what he saw the Father doing and we are called co-workers

      Rev. 3:20 He knocks on our door and offers to eat with us – conversation!

      Rev. 4:4 John saw 24 other thrones around Jesus and the Father
