Union With the Father

Scripture Reading: Rev. 21:2-5 (CNT)
2 And I saw a new holy city Jerusalem descending from out of heaven from Yahweh, having been prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice from out of the throne, saying,”Behold! The tabernacle of Yahweh is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Yahweh Himself shall be with them, 4 and He shall wipe every tear from their eyes, and death shall not be hereafter, nor grief, nor crying, nor toil, it shall be no longer: the former things have departed!”
5 And He sitting upon the throne said: “Behold! I shall make all new things!”
We know what our goal is. We know the 'Mark' set before us. It is our prayer that this time would come and come quickly.
Philippians 3:14-16;
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded; and if any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
In the meantime we must stay diligent and like minded in our walk with the Father and our brothers.
There is only one place that man is expected to arrive at the End of this age of which we envision.
It is that Divine place where we were supposed to be in the beginning: Where our Father reigns.
Gen.3:8-9; 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
We are supposed to at the feet of God. It was in fellowship of Our Heavenly Father.
That place can only be arrived to by our humble acceptance of His Love for us. I Peter 5:6 Therefore be humble under the almighty hand of Yahweh, in order that you would be exalted in due season.
There is no place for self regard or guilt.
There is no place for self-righteousness at that place.
There is no place for judgmental condemnation of another man there.
There is absolutely no room for any ill regard for your brother.
James 4:1-12; 1 From where are battles, and from where are there fights from among you? Is it not from this: from your pleasures making war among your members? 2 You desire, and you have not. You murder and strive and are not able to succeed. You fight and battle. You do not have for reason that you do not request. You request and do not receive for reason that 3 you request evil,in order that you may be consumed in your pleasures! 4. Adulterers! Do you not know that love of Society is hatred for Yahweh? He therefore who would desire to be a friend of Society establishes himself as an enemy of Yahweh! 5 Or do you suppose that vainly the Scripture says: “With envy yearns the spirit which dwells within us”? 6. But more greatly He gives favor, on which account it says: “Yahweh opposes the arrogant, but He gives favor to the humble.”
7.Therefore subject yourselves to Yahweh, but stand against the False Accuser and he shall flee from you. 8 Draw near to Yahweh and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners! And purify your hearts, double-minded! 9 Endure hardship and lament and weep! Your laughter must turn into grief and joy into sorrow! 10 Humble yourself before the Prince and He shall exalt you.
11 Do not slander one another, brethren. He slandering a brother slanders the law and condemns the law. Now if you condemn the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
12. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, He who is able to save and to destroy! Now who are you who is judging him near to you?
When a man has arrived to that place of Communion with the Father, he must be there only in complete and humble submission of his spirit to the Father's Holy Spirit.
When you are in communion with the Holy Spirit, you, and you, and you, me, and you, and you; each and everyone of us: Are commonly before the Father individually in purity of heart, and collectively together as the unified body of Christ.
We have submitted all else to the Father by simply letting go of it.
The Past – The Present – and the Future – Everything.
We, each of us, have to submit everything that is in us that is contrary to the Will of the Father;
And that includes any wandering thoughts.
And we, each of us, have to joyfully receive and accept what the Father has already given.
By releasing the snares of this social order; letting all of them go and not bringing them into remembrance, we come to the Father with a pure heart.
We come to Him in simple submission and acceptance; our spirit to His Spirit.
But, it is much more than that.
Yes, much, much more than that.
We are here and have joined together before the Father in unity.
We are His sheep, and He is our Shepherd and He will leave none behind.
He did not create man to be a doleful follower.
He created man to reign over and take care of His garden.
He created man to think and reason for himself, and that is where we always get into trouble.
Our primary reason for being; is to commune with Him, and fellowship one with another in the same perfection as we fellowship with the Father.
Christ told us the Way: Love the Lord with all your heart and regard your brother in the perfect regard of which you think of yourselves.
He said,”Be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.
We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Sin: What is sin?
Sin is walking out of step with the Father's divine plan; it is our walking out of perfect communal harmony with Him.
That is the place where the adversary, Satan, the accuser of the brethren, assumes his position and releases all of his lies and deception.
Why does the deceiver think he has such power over us?
Because he thinks he still possesses such power.
He does not!!
In truth he is an old toothless wolf still stalking about, seeking who he can destroy.
All he is capable of doing is instilling fear in any of the son of man that do not believe and understand Truth yet. That is to the Father's will and discretion, and our punishment continues.
The Father ended Satan's self declared reign of this world. As He died on the cross, He said,”It is Finished.”
When He died and took all of our sin with Him, it was finished.
Lucifer's authority was over. He is still acting as the deceiver, but he is doing so without power.
The Father knows our stiff necked ways, and He has given us special provision.
Those things that are not in our harmonious walk with the Father are not held against us.
He knows we do not sin.
That's what I said, “We do not sin.”
All of our transgressions belong to the Extortionist, the Accuser of the Brethren.
Soon he will pay for what he has done against us. He tries to make us feel guilty for sin and obligated to repayment.
It is the same as money magick. We owe the liar nothing. He is an old toothless extortionist.
However, that is not the focus of this message today.
Now back to task:
There is no compromise in our walk with Our Father.
There is no division in the fellowship of man.
I love each and everyone of you who are of God. Oh, you don't think so?
I speak Truth. I love you in the Love of the Lord.
Now I will read from I Cor. 11 starting at;
17 Now giving this message I do not commend you: because you gather not for the better, but for the worse. 18 Indeed in the first place, of your gathering in the assembly I hear of divisions arising among you, and in some degree I believe it. 19 For there must also be sects among you, in order that those approved will become evident among you.
Paul was speaking of what became apparent to him in his association with the fellowship in Corinth. What he saw were the divisions among those that were supposedly following the Way. He was not trying to cause division. We was saying that the followers of the different groups needed to adhere to their leaders in order to come together in spirit.
Now continuing in verse 20:
20 However, of your gathering into one place, it is not to eat the supper of the prince. 21 Each beforehand takes his own supper in there to eat, and while one hungers then another is intoxicated. 22. Now do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you think contemptuously of the assembly of Yahweh, and disgrace those that have not?
A thing that He saw that was contemptuous, was how they were observing communion service. They were bringing their meals in whatever form they were individually accustomed to eat or drink, with no regard of any others who might not have. This was not in harmony of the Communion.
This chapter is an allegory of they who selfishly thought of themselves, and their personal convictions: The unnecessary baggage we can be burdened by.
Truth is Truth. You know the Truth because the Father has awakened you. That is the very reason you are here.
However, what you have come to believe and accept; places you in a box, which limits your ability to grow in your Spirit/spirit relationship with the Father.
You should be growing together in your Holy Spirit to spirit relationship.
All of the so called Catholic and Judaeo-Christian churches are caught in this very trap.
You come together in body to fellowship, but what are the self conceived and erroneous convictions you come through that door with?
Are you acting any differently?
However, the very first thing I must address is those that say they are not Jews, but in truth are.
We are among The Fellowship of God's Covenant People.
Matt. 22:8-14 This is the king speaking at his son's wedding feast; 8 Then he says to his servants: 'The wedding-feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 Therefore go along the outlets of the roads, and as many as you should find invite to the wedding-feast.' 10 And those servants having gone out into the roads gathered all whom they found, both wicked and the good, and the wedding-feast had been filled with those dining. 11 Then the king upon entering to observe those dining saw there a man not clothed in a wedding garment, 12 and he says to him:
'Friend, how have you entered here, not having a wedding garment?' But he was silent. 13 Then the king said to the servants; 'Bind his feet and hands, cast him out into the outer darkness!' There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth! 14 For many are called but few are chosen.
Now, back to the unwanted and unnecessary baggage that our brothers and sisters are holding unto.Let's list a few (Are there more? That is why you are here. You know your heart.):
- Fellowship with false doctrines, or attempting to take things that are registered in the mind and fit them in with what you know in your heart. Those that are not awake to the Truth do not function in the spirit, they only operate in the mind. Call it mind over matter. All that can matter to them is what comes from their mind. Are you spending to much time in the world and its religions? We are not a religion. Brother, do not go backward. You are called to a purpose. Stay awake.
- Your understanding of Names, words, and scriptures that interfere in your spiritual walk. “I just don't believe that way.”, or “That's not the Lord's name.” Again, don't think with your mind. Feel it in your spirit, and “Come out of her My people.”
- Living in the past. Luke 9:62; And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of heaven. Our life is not in past memories. Our life is in our divine future. It is in the joy of what lies ahead for us.
Pride of life. Job 41:13-15; 13 Who can discover the face of his garment?, or who can come to him with his double bridle? 14 Who can open the doors of his face?, his teeth are terrible round about. 15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
Pride is a wall that a person puts around himself that prevents any other brother from bonding with him. No man is an island. You are not alone. Please don't be. That is out of harmony in our perfect union with the Father, as the Bride of Christ.
Personal and Family relationships. There is absolutely nothing wrong with friendships or family ties.
We are the fellowship of true Christians, and it is our responsibility to let our light shine in the darkness. Matt 5:16; Thusly you must give your light before men, that they may see your good works and they may honor your Father who is in the heavens.
However, it is necessary to stand fervently in the core of your knowledge. You are MAN and this is not your world (society). You and all your loved ones are here.
You are their only light to lead into divine righteousness.
Dealing with Health and Age.
Rev. 18:23 (KJV) And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all the nations deceived.
Rev. 18:23 (CNT); And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you here after! And the voice of the bridegroom and a bride shall not be heard in you hereafter! Because your merchants were the great men of the earth! Because your pharmaceuticals have all the nations deceived.
The only difference between the 2 scriptures is in understanding their translations. The words mean the same. The word 'Sorceries' comes from the Greek word: From Strong's, pharmakeia (G5331) from (G5332); medication (pharmacy), i.e. (by extension) magic (literal or figuratively); sorcery, withcraft.
Pharmakeus (G5332); from pharmakon (a drug, i.e. spell giving potion); a drugist (pharmacist) or poisoner, i.e. (by extension) a magician – sorcerer.
There is a satanic curse on the whole of society. Where is our Father to son relationship? Where is our faith? Do we walk in faith or, do we walk in fear?
We cannot serve 2 masters, and the Father is a gentleman.
Now I will continue with I Cor. 11:22(Pt.2); What should I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? I do not commend. 23 For I have received from the Prince that which I have also transmitted to you, that Prince Yashua, in the night in which He had been handed over, took wheat-bread 24 and giving thanks He broke it and said, “This is My body which is for you; this you do in remembrance of Me.” 25 In like manner also the cup, along with dinner saying, “This cup is the New covenant in My blood: this you do, as often as you may drink, in remembrance of Me.” 26 Indeed as often as you may eat this wheat-bread and you may drink this cup, you declare the death of the Prince, until He should come. 27 Consequently, whoever would eat the wheat-bread or drink the cup of the Prince unworthily, will be liable of the body and blood of the Prince. 28 But a man must scrutinize himself, and thus from of the wheat-bread let him eat, and from the cup let him drink. 29 For he that is eating and is drinking, eats and drinks condemnation for himself, not distinguishing the body. 30 For this reason there are among you many feeble and sickly, and plenty have fallen asleep. 31 If then we had made a distinction of ourselves, perhaps we would not be judged. 32 But being judged by the Prince we are disciplined, in order that we would not be condemned with the Society. 33 Consequently, my brethren, gathering in to eat, you await one another. 34 If anyone hungers, he must eat at home, in order that you would not gather for condemnation, and the other things when I should come, I will set in order.
Paul, speaking to the church of Corinth, was not praising them in their union as a body of Christ. He was saying there were divisions in the assembly; which is to say they were believing different things.
He also said they were corrupting the communion in symbology by eating to satisfy their bodies and not for remembrance of the sacrifice it represented.
So what I am trying to point out and instill in you is: Whenever you eat together, and as often as you can do so, always in remembrance of our Kinsman Redeemer, how great His sacrifice was for us. Remembering; We worship Him in Spirit, and in Truth. Keeping your faith and knowledge at the forefront of your spirit life.
And, what is that truth?
We are the Seed of Abraham, and with his faith we are the overcomers of this Society; The continually deepening of your gratitude and commitment to the Father, and the always intensifying strength of your relationships with all your brothers is growth in your Spirit/spirit relationship.
Have communion with your brothers as often as possible. Eat what and where you desire, mutually and in communion with the Father, but always in contemplation and remembrance.
That is what makes it communion with the Father, and intensifies the conviction in each spirit in union of our Holy purpose.
In my parting I wish to share communion with you, and I wish to do so in the same manner as Christ. But before we do, we must complete our meal.
Remember? Man does not live by bread alone.
We have joined together before the Father in unity.
We are His sheep, and He is our Shepherd and He will leave none of us behind.
Our Father is waiting. He is watching.
He knows. He sees us;
Joining together—spirit to spirit. That is the act He is waiting for.
We, us, you, me, all of us together;
We are His children. Collectively, don't you see it? Can't you feel it?
We are the Bride of Christ.
That is all He is waiting for.
Stop looking at me or any other and judging according to your mind.
Stop judging yourself according to your mind.
We are the deceived of the nations,
Or see it this way: We are the Abrahamic nations of the deceived.
Let go of what you think, and what you have been told. We are all thinking wrong.
Hosea 4:4-6;
4 Now let no man contend, or rebuke another; For your people are like those who contend with the priest. 5 Therefore you shall stumble in the day; The prophet also shall stumble with you in the night; And I will destroy your mother. 6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
Our way of thinking is Wrong!
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
We are the remnant, and we are called to remembrance. That does not say we know everything.
Precept on Precept; We build on what we think,
We are thinking wrong.,.,.,.,.
Right now, at this very moment;
Stop thinking in your mind.
Shut it down.
Thinking with our mind is where we always get into trouble.
Just Stop It !!
You have to join with the brother beside you.
Not with your mind; what you think, or what you think you think or feel. NO.
You must join with your brother,
WITH YOUR HEART, WITH YOUR SPIRIT.
When? Now.
How? Close your eyes. Stop thinking.
Stop anything that could influence you.
Shut it down. This world is not your friend.
(NJKV) 2 Cor. 6:16
And what agreement has the temple of God with Idols (materialism)? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will dwell in themselves
And I walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be
My people.”
Meditate with the Father. You are together, but you feel you are alone. But, You are not alone. The Father is with you.
You are joining together, His Spirit to your spirit. His Spirit to our spirit(s) collectively.
This is not religion. This is the Body of Yashua coming together in Union.
(NKJV) Eccl. 4:8-13;
8 There is one alone.
Without companion:
He has neither son
nor brother.
Yet there is no end to
all his labors,
Nor is his eye satisfied
with riches.
But he never asks,
“For whom do I toil
and deprive myself
of good?”
This also is vanity and a
grave misfortune.
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good
reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, one will lift
up his companion.
But woe to him who is
alone when he falls,
For he has no one to
help him up.
11 Again, if two lie down
together, they will
keep warm,
But how can one be
warm alone?
12 Though one may be
overpowered by another,
two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is
not quickly broken.
13 Better a poor and
wise youth
Than an old and foolish
king who will be
admonished no more.
We have already experienced our foolish kings. They are the whore of Babylon. The Father has called (awakened) some us. We, are the poor but wise youth.
The Threefold Cord, is each of us binding together with the Holy Spirit, and then bonding together in brotherhood. Who is he that can sever Our Holy Union. There is no one.
YOU ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST !!
TOGETHER WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST !!
Our FATHER Is Not Waiting For The World To Wake Up From a Demonic Spell.
He is only waiting for YOU !!
Look within;
You, You, and You, and You.
You are the Bride of Christ.
He will do the Rest.
From the smallest of seeds a Mustard Tree Will Grow!!!!!!!!!
Now, bow your heads and close your eyes:
Focus on your Father.
He is here, Feel Him,
He feels You.
Meditate and commune with the Father.
There is no time in the Father's world.
It is you and the Father.
What is time?
He is your Father,
Let Him hold you in His Loving Arms.
Communion
Matt. 26:26-30; 26 Then upon their eating, Yashua taking and blessing the wheat-bread broke it and giving it to the students said: “You take it, eat, this is my body.”
Father, we know you hear us. As your children, We thank you for your sacrifice and your blood purchase of us. We stand diligently and faithful always. Keep us and prepare us for that day, when Your Kingdom Comes and Your Will is complete.
And we all say in harmony, “Amen.”
27 And taking a cup and giving thanks gave it to them, saying: “All of you drink from it, 28 for this is My blood of the covenant which is on account of many is being poured out for a remission of errors. 29 But I say to you, by no means shall I drink even now from this produce of the vine until that day when I shall drink it with you anew in the Kingdom of My Father!”
Christ Yashua; We stand together as your body to that day, when we will joyfully share that promised and anticipated glass of wine with you. And again, we all say, “Thank you and Amen.”
30 And singing hymns they went out into the Mount of Olives.
