The Raising of Everlasting Men
The Godhead enjoys a fellowship and they are calling us into this realm to see from their perspective. Our position determines our perspective and our view determines our sight. We are being called into the fellowship that changes our entire perspective.
We cannot just jump into what God is saying without the benefit of hindsight. If we do not have hindsight into the things that have been, insight into the things that are, and foresight to what will be, we will not be able to make progress in the spirit.
The charge/instruction to fight is imperative and not negotiable. We are not being advised, we are being told what to do, it is an instruction for us to fight the good fight of faith and to lay hold on Eternal Life. It is a deliberate fight, not against witches and wizards but the fight to lay hold on Christ. (1 Tim. 6:12)
The ultimate calling we have been given is the profession of fighting the good fight of faith. But fighting a good fight does not guarantee Jesus’ immediate appearance to us; it is a gradual appearing as there are ‘times’ that He must unveil to us. (1 Tim. 6:18)
To fight the good fight of faith is to become Christ and embody His nature as exemplified in faith, hope, and charity. A faith that is not powered by the patience of Jesus Christ is not truly faith. (Rev. 2:19)
What the Lord judged in the church in Thyatira was their inaction in dealing with the spirit of Jezebel that had a place among them. (Rev. 2:20)
To fight the good fight of faith is to become holy. The commandment must be kept until the appearing of Jesus Christ. There's a time lag to that commandment which is the appearing of Jesus Christ; this appearing is not rapture.
Jesus will keep coming and coming in different ways until we get to the restitution of all things. Restitution of all things is reconciliation which is bringing us closer and closer to the light. (Acts 3:21)
What determines the charge we are given is where we are in the spirit. The gospel is the good tidings (good news) and a precursor of good tidings of good. (Rom. 10:15)
Anything before the gospel of Christ is not the gospel; it is preparation for the gospel. The Holy Ghost is a preparation, while Christ is the foundation. All the manifestations in the realm of the Holy Ghost are all preparations. (1 Cor. 3:10-11, 2 Tim. 2:9)
When it came to the gospel, the Lord Himself was the first to begin to speak it. The first, the prima, implies that what the Lord has begun to speak is all that He is going to speak. (Heb. 1:1, 2:2-3)
Diverse miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghost are all to aid the speaking of the Lord, and not to become the priority in the gospel. The content of the church is speaking, not miracles, and we must recognize the need to move ahead into the real deal, which is the speakings of the Lord. (Heb. 2:4)
Jesus is the Christ and also the Everlasting Father. There is a wide journey between the gospel of Christ, the Son of the living God, and Jesus, the Eternal one. Christ, the Father, and God are all beings that each bear their gospel. (Rom. 1:1)
Raising the dead is not a yardstick for our progress in the journey, as those who perform miracles still need raising and salvation. It is our Lord Jesus Christ that has the authority to raise a man indeed.
The primary business of the church is not in casting out devils or performing wonders/miracles but in understanding. The three mysteries of the gospel are separately stated, and each of them carries a message that the church must hear. (Eph. 1:17-18, Col. 2:2)
The responsibility saddled upon the church is to dispense the divine beings; Christ, Father, and God. These beings are works. God is a being that does not despise showing Himself and everything of Him. (Col. 2:2, Jhn. 5:22)
God desires to rest. He desires to raise us in the same way He raised the Son and this is achieved through the gospel of raising, training, and resurrection. (Jhn. 5:22)
The gospel is a path of training and raising. The Godhead wants to give us their life, but we need to develop the capacity to take all that they have to give. To develop this, the Eternal God has stepped down to the realm of the everlasting and then taken a further step to Christ for the sake of our understanding.
The Father's business is to transmit their life to us so that we can come into the divine light. It takes a journey to come into the divine light.
God wants us to praise Him by our lives. A work must be done in us to make us a praise. To praise the Lord is to convey the invisible God to humanity. The only place where praise is acceptable is in the heights and it takes men of the heights to make Him seen. (Matt. 4:16, Psa. 148:1)
God's kingdom is highly stratified, yet our Lord Jesus has promised to make us sit on His throne if we overcome. This expands the scope of our journey to ensure that we do not just stay down seeking the things of the earth, but heights in the heavens. (Zech 10:1, Isa. 32:15, Psa. 148:12)
Whatever achievements we attain even in building multiple churches and expansions, that do not end up adding to our stature in the spirit, are of no divine consequence.
True praise comes from the highest; from men who have gained heights. To offer praise at this level, we must be holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. (Heb. 7:26)
That we are a star or light does not mean we are already morning stars. It takes the shining of light from one level to another for us to become a morning star.
God desires to make us heavenly beings. Heavenly beings are those who bring pleasure and gladness to God, which is higher than joy. We must desire to be a drink offering that can make the Lord full of pleasure. (Isa. 35:10)
We must get to a place where our being is in God; where our nudging, thoughts, and actions are exactly with God. Anytime we make wrong judgments and come short of expectations, it simply means we do not have light.
Understanding is what separates man from man. Some men are sensual in thinking, but God desires that we come to a place where we can pick thoughts like Him. When we exercise ourselves in labouring to think His thoughts, we will fetch judgement.
Heavenly beings are everlasting men. Everlasting men are men who are being raised. The process of ‘returning’ is the process of being turned and being raised. We go back to God by ascension. This ascension is a gradual growth that comes by learning the wisdom and judgement of the three mystery beings. (Psa. 90:3)
It takes lots of heavenly resources to make a man turn completely to see the way God sees. We must be willing to be made because it takes a lifetime to completely turn to God. Getting into the Father is a guaranteed level that we cannot go into the second death. (Psa. 80:3, 7, 19, Psa. 85:4)
The words that are being heralded to us in this season are not our personal gospel, but an ancient landmark that must be preserved. The fashions of this world come and go, those are not ancient landmarks. The ancient landmarks are what God has laid as a way of coming back to Him. (Prov. 22:28)
Our ascension is the present business of heaven. If the richest men on earth still desire to ascend, take a place among the stars, and colonize the physical earth space; there is a higher expectation of us.
We must desire a place in the heights until we arrive at a realm where we function and operate from the New Jerusalem and Holy Jerusalem.
