Now is the Time, the Time is at hand!

Friday, April 3rd, 2015

Revelation 22:6 Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

Love is faithful, true, and transparent.  Blessed is he who keeps the words and revelation contained within this final book of the Holy Scripture.  In the past, the religious mind has swayed our thinking about this final book.  We were told of the catastrophic events within the chapters which would lead to total destruction of mankind.  We were led to believe that THE LORD GOD was angry and would wipe out mankind as a result of HIS frustration with their lawlessness.  The picture was painted to promote the idea of escapism by a rapture that would take place just prior to HIS angry release of judgment.  Love was not found anywhere in their pessimistic, fear inspired doctrines.  The mysteries contained within this final book were locked away from their carnal minds.  These mysteries were not to be revealed, packaged and sold by those whose egos needed to reach new heights.  The impending catastrophe was and is always just beyond the current sermon, designed to make the audience reliant on the speaker’s connection with Heaven, not there own.

We are called to worship and reverence Our Heavenly Father, none else.  It is HE who is our Source of Life, Love, wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.  John the Beloved was overwhelmed by this entire vision and revelation of Love manifested to the point he fell down to worship the messenger.  He was rebuked and reminded to worship only FATHER, the Source of all.  We are urged to keep and obey the revelation of this book.  The revelation is to walk, grow and mature in Love.  We are to set aside the fleshly things of this world and be only mindful of the things from Above.  We are to have a personal relationship with FATHER.

We must not set aside, seal up, or allow our focus to be placed elsewhere.  This revelation is for now and we must keep our focus on this final maturing process for the time is at hand, now is the time!  Those who have faithfully read the words written here know the time is at hand, you sense it in your spirit.  FATHER is selecting those whose hearts are being prepared for HIS new anointing.  This Love anointing will differ from past anointings for it will close one age and bring forth a new age on earth.  It won’t simply be a “down payment” but a full and complete anointing similar to that of our elder brother, Our Lord Jesus Christ Who closed out the age of Passover and brought ushered in the Age of Pentecost.

The unholy and unjust will continue to mature into their fullness while the righteous and holy will become spiritually perfected.  Think it not strange that the perversion has increased to full maturity just prior to the release of this new anointing.  When the Standard of Love and Truth is fully raised and manifested for all to see, there will be a stark contrast to those who chose death and destruction.

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

We are urged to “come” and follow the commandments of Love so that we can access the Tree of Life.  This will produce works of Love.  We aren’t simply given the revelation of Christ for some passive reason, but we must act and respond to HIS call.  Yes, we must focus on Love and walk according to HIS Spirit.  Set aside those weights that would beset you and live with purpose.  Ask that your eyes be opened to any hindrance to receiving this new anointing.  Be among the five wise virgins who kept their lamps trimmed with sufficient oil from Above.  We are invited to “come”, accept the invitation and sell and lay down all you have for this invitation.  Let HIS Words minister to you today.  It is time to “be” rather than just “do”.  Connect with FATHER by “waiting” on HIM.  HE will respond as you sincerely seek HIM and and the revelation of HIS Love.  Give HIM your firstfruits, not the leftovers.

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;

19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

We have been warned not to add our own soulish interpretation to this book which has been done countless times in the past.  Those who Love will understand and embrace this final revelation given to the Beloved.  Those who are called to be HIS Bride will understand the mysteries and will not need to add anything else for they know HIS Divine Intent for their lives.  They are completed by HIM and look not elsewhere.  They know that this anointing comes from Above and no where else.  They seek no other fruit than that of the Tree of Life.  They judge not others for FATHER’S judgment is fair and equitable.  HE will judge swiftly and effectively.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

The River flows

Thursday, April 2nd, 2015

Revelation 22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.

5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

The fullness of Life proceeds from the Throne and FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love contains that Life.  This flow of Love is pure and transparent thus it contains no hidden agendas.  This water has a cleansing effect on all who enter in.  This water carries and communicates to all who encounter it.  It is the Word of Our Lord GOD Almighty that cleanses us.  In Ephesians chapter 5, Paul speaks of this cleansing:

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,

27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish

The result of this cleansing water is a glorious body to be presented to Christ and this is what John the beloved saw in the wonderful vision which depicted the full process of justification, sanctification, and finally glorification of this Bride.  All of life emanates from the Throne of FATHER and this river of Life is forever flowing forth producing eternal life.

The root meaning of street is “to draw to one’s self, to rescue, to deliver; deliverer”.  This street of transparent gold conveys the deliverance or reconciling to the Divine nature.  “All roads lead to restoration” must be kept at the forefront of Love’s mandate.  There is no eternal damnation to punish men as church doctrine would suggest.  FATHER’S Love has been maligned by the egos of men for thousands of years in order to maintain control and exploit mankind.  The transparency has come to the forefront and the Standard of Truth has been raised for all men to see.  The Divine government now prevails over the earth and men are now eating of the Tree of Life rather than the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  Its fruit is sweet and fulfilling.  No longer are men’s souls left unfulfilled.

There are twelve fruit coming forth from the trees.  Trees denote men and this fruit represents them being led by the Holy Spirit.  In Galatians chapter 5, Paul speaks of nine fruit:

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

In Ephesians chapter 5, Paul includes two more:

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth)

In Romans 6, Paul speaks of the final fruit:

22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

What a wonderful picture where the fruit begin with Love and end with holiness.  I am fully convinced that Love must be the first fruit so that the others will come forth in their order.  We have been called to be fruit inspectors and each of us must inspect our own fruit.  Are our actions motivated by Love?  If so, we should expect joy, peace, and the other fruit to come forth in our lives.  This fruit is what will feed, nourish, and ultimately heal the nations.

The leaf’s function is to provide the means for the fruit to come forth.  It captures the sunlight and converts the energy to promote life.  Leaves convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar.  The root meaning of “leaf” means to ascend, to arise, to come up.  Our healing takes place as we ascend toward the Throne.  A conversion and transformation takes place as we come into the presence of FATHER.  Jesus healed all manner of sickness and disease and as we come before HIM, we too are healed fully and completely.  Once this healing takes place, then we walk unhindered in eternal life.  Every spot, blemish, and imperfection will be removed and we will take our place in the Body of Christ in all its glory.  The Tree of Life is found in the “alpha” book of Genesis and is only appropriate that it is at the end of the “Omega” book of Revelation.  The flow of Life was lost in Adam but restored in Christ, perfect bookends.

The curse of death is removed and there is no more darkness for the light shines forth.  HIS Name is on our foreheads as we have taken on the Mind of Christ and are fully led by HIS Spirit.  The maturing process presented throughout this final Gospel is now presenting us with a complete picture of the Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  This River not only flows in us but through us as we minister healing and life to the nations.   Glory!

The Glory filling the earth

Wednesday, April 1st, 2015

Revelation 21:22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.

25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).

26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.

27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

The greater the revelation of FATHER, the closer HE is to you.  Some would place HIM in some far off galaxy.  Others would confine HIM to the local church or temple.  The revelation of Love places HIM in you!  Our egos would talk us out of that reality by stating we are undeserving.  However Jesus had no problem in walking and fellowshipping with the ungodly during His earthly ministry for there was not one Godly person to hang out with at the time.  That’s why He came, to restore mankind to an intimate fellowship with FATHER.  Paul stated it in 1 Corinthians chapter 6:

19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

A temple is a dwelling place and HIS Spirit resides in us, not in some building a few block or miles away.  Within that dwelling place is a light that cannot be put out but is meant to shine forth as the noonday sun.  This Glory was prophesied in Habakkuk chapter 2:

14  For the earth will be filled
With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD,
As the waters cover the sea.

This earth is both your body and the physical earth, there will be no place where the Glory is missing for FATHER is omnipresent.  Paul encouraged the Beloved brethren to expect and obtain this same glory in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2:

13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The church has been likened to the moon which reflected the light of the sun.  It was a lesser light.  That age of the lesser light is now at its end so the greater light will shine forth.  The greatest light of all of creation is now descended upon the earth for all of mankind to see.  In the presence of HIS Glory, no sin or lawlessness can approach for the impurity will not be allowed in the presence of this pure Love and righteousness.  This result of this light has impacted the surroundings to the point that the transparency is described as glass.  Now the gold is seen not only as 99.999% pure but 100%!  Divine Nature has removed the last blemish or impurity thus bringing forth 100% transparency.  No longer will you be concerned with the intent of others, for in this city only FATHER’S Intent will lead those who dwell therein.

Where FATHER is, so is HIS Glory!  As each of us embraces that reality that HE can truly reside in us, not just externally, we will take on HIS Character, His Agape Love.  As HIS Love permeates every cell, atom, and particle of our existence, we will shine forth HIS Glory.  There will be no darkness found in us but only HIS Light will shine forth.  As HIS Love becomes fully resident in us, darkness flees and we no longer walk in any other intent but HIS.  We will then only partake of the fruit of the Tree of Life.  We will no longer judge others by means of the soulish man.  Our hearts will be pure and we will be content to “be” rather than “do”.  We then will better understand the “Be-attitude”

Matthew 5:8  Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.

Those who embrace the revelation of Love allow their hearts to be purified by this Love and are led by HIS Spirit.  The result is that their name or nature has placed them in the Lamb’s Book of Life.  It is that simple, embrace it!
