Preface:
Since the time of The Reformation we have
seen a slow return to the acceptance of the work of the cross and The Baptism
with Holy Spirit as a personal choice, made with understanding.
We have seen believers in the work of the
cross broken into fragmented groups or denominations.
We have seen the same in regard to
believers in the work of the Baptism with Holy Spirit, as well as a general
opposition from those who have believed in the work of the cross and feel that
it is sufficient for full Salvation.
But we have not seen unity, which can only
be had in Oneness of belief with understanding.
‘Consider A Warning’ is seeking to bring
to light what are the obstacles for whosoever would seek to know God.
God’s Way to Himself is profound and
unique. His New Covenant is its crown,
and its benefits are geared to promote praise to God.
There is no division, diversity or
compromise allowed and the glory of righteousness creates a warning. Whereas, in the church today there is
division, diversities and compromise which have established their own ‘righteousness’
and have bred an intolerance to warnings.
To believe that all is well because all
that one has to do, as a Christian, is to go to church, to pray every day and
to fellowship with Christians, requires a WARNING.
It is required by God of us that we do His
Will.
To do this we must Know Him, to fellowship
with Him as we do with Christ, who shall judge us as to the doing of His God
and Father’s Will.
Bless you
Ephesians 1: 17-18
THE NEW
COVENANT PROMISES AND CONDITIONS.
THEY HOLD
PROMISES BUT GIVE WARNINGS.
Generally the
natural man hates warnings, because they speak of boundaries and limitations.
Warnings
given, by the Lord God Almighty, are for those who have faith in Jesus Christ
as their Saviour, and those who are Baptised with Holy Spirit. Such warnings which cannot be
diminished nor enlarged by what man may consider to be the relative
significance of God’s warnings to them.
What God makes applicable to be warned about, is a very serious
matter, for He will not change His mind; He is not a man that He should
lie, or give into emotional sympathy of understanding when what He has said has
not been observed and obeyed, especially in regard to The Promises held in The New Covenant.
Mankind,
generally is looking for quick fixes and easy solutions. However when it comes to the things of God,
and the life that He expects of us, there are none, especially
concerning the promises of God, in relation to The New Covenant, because they
are the result of a very powerful, costly, spiritual work which has been
accomplished by God and Christ for whosoever would believe.
God, The
Father, who has promised to write His Laws in our hearts and on our minds, has
purposed that the knowledge of what He is and who He is, with the giving of
His Holy Things and Holy Offerings will be received and made known by
revelation to those who would obey His Will, and seek to be like his Son Jesus
Christ.
So many
Christians do not know just how much has been offered them from God Himself,
apart from the facts that the counsellors to new Christians tell them, which is
generally what they have been given. But
the warnings in regard to any neglect in fulfilling what is God’s Will,
which hold an eternal consequence for their neglect, are not so clearly
declared.
A great many
Christians are living on assumptions, because they fail to check up for
themselves from The Word of God after hearing what men teach them.
Many will be surprised to know that what they have been led to believe, is
in opposition to God and Christ.
There is a lazy assumption by many Christians because, in failing to
understand what is God’s work for their Salvation, assume that it must be O.K.,
if most people around them believe the same.
So it must be right.
It is this
confidence that can encourage the believer to be careless to the warnings in
regard to the expected walk in holiness and righteousness and as a result there
is a lack of the desire to thirst after the teaching of righteousness in order
to discern what is good and what is evil.
The Gospel of
God and of Christ is an invitation to all men of all nations.
It is an invitation with warnings : just as the ignoring of His
Invitation, holds a warning.
ALL
GOD’S PROMISES GIVE WARNINGS.
We love promises which are often used as an inducement for a man to come
personally in repentance to God.
Acts 20:21
Great promises
are in God’s New Covenant which many have heard of but only in association with
the cross, believing them to be in Jesus’ death. Therefore the result is that they remain ignorant of what it is
and what is God’s Intention for it. It
is the importance of their commitment and responsibility to The New
Covenant, with its warning, which is so important, that the writer of Hebrews
emphasises God’s warnings throughout the book, in association with The New
Covenant, twice declaring what it is and along with it the warnings, to those
who participate in it.
The New
Covenant holds for believers an awesome promise as it is the fulfilment of The Way and The How of knowing God
Himself. It has been brought about
and balanced with the Death of Jesus, as this cost him his Life. That is why The Promise is balanced with A
Warning, of NOT to sin, because there is no further sacrifice, because of
the cost. References to The New
Covenant - Hebrews 8: 10-13 10:
15-18
THE
FOUNDATION IS THE CROSS.
The
Stake, where Jesus died and was lifted up, has stood spiritually through many
generations. It is in his death that the warning of The New Covenant is
highlighted.
When Jesus related to his death, he broke bread and he said, “ This is my
body which will be broken in death.”
He then introduced The Cup saying, “This is ‘THE CUP’ OF THE NEW
COVENANT......IN MY BLOOD, WHICH IS POURED OUT FOR ALL THE WORLD.” Luke 22: 7-20
The Cup that Jesus spoke of at the time of The Last Supper and in The Garden of
Gethsemane was The Cup of Death, which required of Jesus his Death, in order
for God to revoke His Curse upon all mankind, which was due to Adam’s sin,
and who now can be delivered from The Curse because of Jesus’ shed
blood.
Blood that was Spiritually poured as Jesus in totality of obedience to
His God and Father, gave himself to Death so that what work was achieved was
established for ALL mankind and which will remain because the blood was
Spiritually poured, which means “the work done and complete and fixes it in
place according to God’s Word.”
When Jesus
warned his disciples regarding his death, Peter believing his own wisdom,
rebelled, and Jesus rebuked him. He did
not understand the full significance of the death of Jesus, which was
carried out according to The Old Covenant Stipulations, which should give
believers understanding of the meaning of Jesus as God’s Lamb. And it should raise the question : why did
God need a Lamb for Himself? Acts 20:
28 John 1:
Jesus, was God’s necessary Lamb for God to revoke His curse on all mankind,
and to inaugurate The New Covenant.
God, planned for this event since the time of Noah, and how it would be
accomplished.
GENESIS
9: 5-6 A PLAN OF GREAT LOVE AND MERCY.
In this Plan
God lovingly, placed Himself, in the position of being in merciful obligation
to men, calling on Him to shed His own blood, because He had caused men to shed
blood to Him.
He required a Lamb to accommodate this.
A Lamb, a man, who would shed his blood for real – for God.
This can be called God’s Criteria of the Blood. God in His Old Covenant called for men to shed blood, by
circumcision and sin sacrifices as a sign of desired submission and obedience
to Him. It was by His own Plan, as
instigator of men shedding their blood, by animals as representatives of man He
was obligated to shed His blood by a man. This was God’s Plan, to remove the
obstacles before man in coming to Himself.
Jesus as a
man, as God’s Lamb, with God in him by His Spirit, was God’s Representative
and was crucified, shedding his blood for god’s purposes for mankind, in order
to revoked His curse of Death, and to give a New Promise for all men who
would believe. This Plan was carried
out at the cross with the purpose of a New Covenant.
Genesis 9: 5** It was God’s condition to give accountability
to the life of a man, and of animals, that makes sense of God’s sacrificial
plans for all sacrifices that were to count before God as ‘the shedding of
one’s blood’. Faithful men believed
this and it was accounted to them.
The
confirmation of This Truth was the resurrection of The Holy Ones at The Death of Jesus. When God, as promised, fulfilled His
‘Obligations’ of Love to them. Heaven
was opened for all man kind, to enter by believing in Jesus as The Way to The
Father.
Warning : Genesis 2:
15** What costly lengths God has
gone to too revoke His Curse which was due to Adam’s ignorant disregard of
God’s warning to him of Death, if he would disobey His Law. Adam discovered to his loss and for all
mankind THAT GOD MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.
GOD’S
PLAN THAT STANDS:
Many would believe Jesus to be The Pascal Lamb of The Passover which delivered
the households of Israel from the Angel of Death. Jesus as God’s Lamb was to do a different errand by his death on
the cross, which was of a greater magnitude than The Historical Passover.
It was after
the remembrance of The Passover that Jesus introduced The Cup of Death
of The New Covenant, by which The Death Factor was to be dealt with powerfully.
The Cup of Death contained the work of the cross AND the work of The
Instantaneous Spiritual Process.
The work of the cross does not deliver us from death but calls for the believer, by The Instantaneous Spiritual
Process, to go into Death, and through it, in order to be raised out of
its Realm by God, The Father : in order to be Baptised with Holy Spirit by
Christ and be placed in Life, by God The Father.
This work is confirmed in Romans 6: 3-14 and Colossians 2: 9-15 which describes
The Instantaneous Spiritual Process which precedes immediately before and
results in Baptism with Holy Spirit.
This
is when we can say that we are Born Again.
John 1:
29 John 3: 16 Colossians 1: 19-20 Acts 20: 28 Matthew 27: 51-53
John 3: 13 Hebrews 9: 24 Hebrews 9: 11-28 1 Corinthians 15: 42-57
John 1: 3 Ephesians 1: 13-14 1 Corinthians 12: 13-18 Psalm 123 Galatians 1: 1 Psalm
23
Warning : A false foundation has been given to the
believer, that they were raised out of Death at the cross, believing before
Water Baptism (a material baptism) that they are Born Again. No one is Born Again UNTIL they are Baptised
with Holy Spirit which is a Spiritual Baptism, when one is washed and Born Again
of Living Spirit Water. John 3: 3-6
Exodus 30:
17-21 Titus 3: 4-8 1 Corinthians 12: 13-18
Warning : It is worthy to note God’s purpose and emphasis to this Truth
that the priests in The Old Testament Tabernacle WERE WARNED BY GOD, that they
were to wash with the water in the Laver before entering The Holy Place. Warning was of Death if disobeyed.
This Law was the forerunner and shadow which emphasised The Baptism of ‘God’s
Promised Spirit’ which is essential to be in, to enter the presence of God,
because He is Holy. It will be no
accident for one TO enter into God’s Presence but only a neglect to know God’s
Plan of the giving of His Promised Spirit in order that one CAN ENTER His
Presence.
THE CROSS AND
THE INSTANTANEOUS PROCESS ARE THE MECHANICS OF GOD, WHICH DO NOT BELONG TO THE
NEW COVENANT, BUT BRING IT ABOUT. THEY
ARE THE NECESSARY SPIRITUAL WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE FOR WHOSOEVER WOULD KNOW
ETERNAL LIFE.
It is on
account of the mechanics of The Cup of Death, in the cross and The
Instantaneous Process, that the believer is qualified to come to life, to be
Baptised with Holy Spirit, and which gives entrance and identification to The
New Covenant Promises of God. It is
when the totality of the mechanics are accomplished, that because the
believer has been Spiritually Circumcised from Death, that God Himself, by
His Spirit through the believer, will testify that this work is done, by
declaring through the believer’s mouth in the language of The Spirit “Jesus is Lord.” Yes! In Tongues.
Jesus’ Death
was The Cup of Death where Life was dealing with Death.
The New Covenant is LIFE, to give us abundant Life, because we are in The
Spirit of God.
Galatians 3: 14 Romans 2: 29 1 Corinthians 12: 3 John 15: 26 Philippians 2: 10-11
Hebrews 10: 22-27 Ephesians
4: 5-6
Warning : To deny the work of The Instantaneous
Process, as a powerful force which is necessary to take one from Death to Life,
is to deny God His Confirmation, that the Work of Jesus is done.
Genesis 17:
13-14 Jeremiah 9: 25 Romans 2: 29
Warning : Abraham was
warned by God that not to be circumcised in the flesh would indicate ‘No
Covenant Agreement with God’ and there would be a cutting off from those who
were circumcised. Jeremiah
prophetically stated God’s warning when he said “The days are coming when I
will punish all who are only circumcised in ‘the flesh’.” Paul states in Romans the fulfilment and the
importance of The Spiritual Circumcision which is only made possible through
the work of The Instantaneous Spiritual Process, which as a result of we are
brought into a New Covenant Agreement with God, and receive God’s Praise.
THE CROSS IS
NOT TO OVERSHADOW, OUTWEIGH, DIMINISH, TO MAKE DIM, TO ECLIPSE IN ORDER TO
OBSCURE ITS PURPOSE WHICH MUST BE SEEN, IN ORDER THAT GOD THE FATHER IS
GLORIFIED AND THE PLAN OF GOD FOR MAN’S SALVATION IS ACCOMPLISHED.
The cross was
a work to give Hope, but it is not sufficient to give assurance of Eternal
Life, because its work does not automatically deliver the believer from Death
but the Spirit of Christ in them gives the Hope of the Deliverance, out of
Death; to be free of its Laws, BY THE
WORK OF THE INSTANTANEOUS PROCESS WHICH RESULTS IN BEING BAPTISED WITH HOLY
SPIRIT.
Proverbs 30:
5-6 Deuteronomy 4: 2 Revelation 22: 18-19
Warning : God warns against adding
to and taking away from His Word.
The church has been
guilty of adding to the work of the cross and so has taken away from the
powerful, spiritual work which sees one Spiritually Circumcised from Death and
its Judgements and Baptised into God’s Spirit, who places us ‘In Christ’.
The reason for this is that they have added to Christ’s position by making him
to be God, and so have taken away the potency of what is God’s Work alone, and
His full Plan of Full Salvation.
The cross and the Baptism with Holy Spirit do not give the assurance of Eternal
Life : but hope of it.
Consider God’s
Plan
Because God has revoked The Curse, He has given another Invitation and
warning to man.
To those who believe and come to the cross, God forgives their past sins,
which saves them from Hell.
They receive The Spirit of Christ from God The Father and are put by God into
The Kingdom of His ‘dear Son’ : which
is NOT The Body of Christ BUT his Spiritual Kingdom which is in The Death
Realm. The believer will remain there until
they seek and ask to be Baptised with Holy Spirit. It is in The Instantaneous Spiritual Process work, that achieves
‘all sins forgiven’ so that God raises them from Death. As a result they are Baptised with Holy
Spirit, by Christ, and are then place/Baptised by God The Father, into The Body
of Christ. i.e. In Christ, where God The Father’s Spirit is
over all, through all and in all. They
are called ‘Sons of God’, co-heirs with Christ.

Colossians 1: 13-14 Romans 4:

Now Romans 8: 11 and Colossians 1: 28 Matthew 15:13 Ephesians 4: 5-6
Romans 8: 17
Warning : Those who have only been to the cross and
are Spiritually in Christ’s Kingdom, which is in The Death Realm, must not be
bound against deliverance from this Realm.
They must urgently ask Jesus for Baptism with Holy Spirit in order to be raised
out of The Death Realm, and not be condemned with Death.
Mark
16: 14-18 Romans 8: 10
Mark 16:
14-18 John 14: 13-15 Acts 1: 4-5 John 15: 14-15
Warning : ** Jesus said my
friends are those who obey my commands.
He has given what is a God given command to ‘Be Baptised’ with Holy
Spirit. Those who are unbelieving in
regard to this command, will be condemned.
Warning : There is no work that I can do to achieve
the work of the cross, or the work of The Instantaneous Process. But there is a work I must do to gain
Eternal Life.
This is to know God’s plan of Salvation and to know The Father and Christ in
fellowship, and to do God’s Will, as Jesus did, and not to sin deliberately but
to be an over-comer.
If we do this, Revelation 3: 11-12 will apply and not the situation of Matthew
7: 21-23.
Deuteronomy
8:19 Deuteronomy 10: 20 -
11: 1
Warning : ** Be warned against
other gods, who would deform God’s Plan and purposes for man’s full
salvation. Never forget who is God, who
is to be our Praise and Your God.
TO
WHOM DOES THE NEW COVENANT APPLY?
The
New Covenant and its Promises and Warnings definitely only apply to those who are
Baptised with Holy Spirit, because all sins have been forgiven by God. AND are a Hope to the Unbaptised with
Holy Spirit, because of ‘past sins’ being forgiven. Romans 4: 7 & 8
Jesus’ death as God’s Lamb, and The Instantaneous Process have the same relationship
to The Old Covenant Stipulations and Regulations; each having its given
stipulated result of work in the sacrifice.
In regard to any particular sacrifice, the Stipulations and Regulations
spoke powerfully as to what work it achieved.
Just as Jesus’ sacrifice was a Guilt Offering and the blood was sprinkled,
which said “work done, but go on”, this being in relation to the individual
believer as they come to the cross and believe. Whereas the poured out blood in relation to Jesus’ Death was the work
of Revoking God’s Curse for The World.
Then we see how that The Instantaneous Process for the believer is in
relationship to The Burnt Offering, which describes how and why, we are
washed with Living Spirit Water. We are
not washed in the BLOOD, but because of its work on the cross, we are qualified
to be Baptised with Holy Spirit. i.e.
The receiving of God’s Promised Spirit.
John 1: 29 Leviticus Chap 1 – 7 &
16 Isaiah 53: 10 1 Peter 1: 2 Galatians 3:14
WHAT
IS THE NEW COVENANT?
Luke 1: 77-79 The prophecy of
The New Covenant was first declared in Jeremiah 31: 33-37. Zechariah’s prophecy over his son was the
evidence that God’s promise of a New Covenant was at last to be fulfilled. He was also announcing indirectly that the
time was at hand for God to give His Promised Spirit to those who were
partakers of His New Covenant.
In Ezekiel 36: 26-27, we see prophetic promises of the presence of The
Spirit of Christ and of The Spirit of God, in the believers, and both of
whom are essential to be in the person, in order to receive The New Covenant
and the promises which are found in
:
Hebrews 10: 15-18 Hebrews 8: 10-12
I will put My Laws in their hearts and write them on their minds.
Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more, and where these have been
forgiven there is no longer any sacrifice for Sin.
When God made
this Covenant which was prophetic at that time, He confirmed it with another
Oath, that by His power as Creator. It
is when the mechanics, of the cross and The Baptism, are completed in the
believer, that He confirms His Covenant Promise, His Work and Christ’s full
work as lamb and Baptiser with Holy Spirit, by declaring through the believer,
that ‘Jesus is Lord’.
What great
works God and Christ have done to restore man into fellowship. Because of that
fact, He will allow ‘no further sacrifice’ for sin which is wilful, deliberate
and on going sin.
There is no ‘licence to sin’.
In Revelation, Jesus cemented this to the church calling for her to be an over-comer, without
which Eternal Life will not be inherited.
Galatians 4:6 John 14: 23 Ephesians 4: 5-6 John 1: 29-33 1
Corinthians 12: 3 Revelation 2: 7,
11, 17, 26-29, Revelation 3: 5,
11-12, 21 1 John 1: 7-10 1 John 5: 1-5 1 John 2: 22-25
Romans
10:9 Philippians 2: 10-11 1 Corinthians 12: 3
Warning : ** If there is no
testimony of God, by His Spirit, testifying through the believer ‘Jesus is Lord’ in the Spiritual Language of
Tongues, which means that the work of The Instantaneous Spiritual Process, has
not been accomplished in the believer.
Warning : To believe that the work of the cross ‘is
totally sufficient’ for immediate deliverance out of The Death Realm, means
that one will remain in Death and be condemned with Death. Jesus has warned us.
Mark 16: 14-18 Revelation 20: 12
Warning : To believe that one is secure in Eternal
Life because of having been to the cross and been Baptised with Holy Spirit,
without ‘over-coming sin…’ denies the reality of God’s conditions for Eternal
Life to those who are Sons of God….’Go and sin wilfully no more’.
Hebrews 10: 29-31 1 John 2:
24-25 Colossians 1: 22-23
Warning : Before Baptism with Holy Spirit, Death in us
was a strong opposition to Life. Now in
Life it is to be in strong opposition to Death, or we will perish. If we continue after all that has been said
and done, by wilfully sinning, you will perish, because this is God’s Plan to
deal with this condition. We are to
condemn sin as useless, as Jesus did, and to know cleansing of any defilement
by any unintentional sin, by the confession of it to God The Father. We are cleansed because of the work of the
cross.
Hebrew 6: 4-12 Hebrews 10: 29-31 Romans 8: 1-3 1 John 1: 7-10
THE
INSTANTANEOUS WORK OF THE CROSS.
Can you imagine the joy of those in heaven, when Christ, by his blood
clearing the Heavens, opened them. He
returned to His God and Father, victorious with The Holy Ones.
The Holy Ones who included such righteous ones as Abraham, Isaiah, Jeremiah
were set free when Jesus died because the penalty of the curse and their sins
committed under The First Covenant, was dealt with when Jesus died. Such was the power of the work of the cross
for them.
They had been judged by God already, before Death, and credited with
Righteousness, as they had adhered to His ‘Criteria of The Blood’. After their death, they entered Paradise and
waited there because heaven was closed; its opening required God’s revoking of
The Curse, upon all mankind. By the
work of the cross this was accomplished and so they were resurrected out from
Paradise and went with Christ Jesus to The Kingdom of Heaven, where
they became the Foundation of The Spiritual Temple into which we are also built
into by Christ.
They are alive and spiritually we are with them, as we sit Spiritually with
them in The Heavens. We believe, they
do behold us and wait for us.
They will rule
with Christ in his 1000 years reign, with those In Christ, who are judged by
Christ as doing The Father’s Will, and together afterwards, we will enter The
Eternal City of God, in The New Heavens and The New Earth.
They are the evidence of the willingness of men who symbolically shed their
blood in faith as a sign of commitment to God and His Laws. It is by this continuing principle of our
willingness to symbolically shed our blood by total commitment to God and His
Laws that shall be an everlasting sign, to God and to Christ, until we enter
that eternal city, The Kingdom of God.
This Kingdom is not to be confused with The Kingdom of Heaven, which is
where those who are Baptised with Holy Spirit are in already.

19: 11 – 20: 6 Daniel 7: 13-14 Revelation Chaps 21, 22 Matthew 13: 47-50
Warning : The work of the cross, completed all that
was required by God to see The Resurrection of the Old Testament Saints, as
they had already been judged by God as Righteous. This does not apply for those who would come today for Eternal
Life, because the work of God would have the believer Spiritually circumcised
out of Death and in Life, In Christ, before his physical Death.
Romans 8: 1-2
CHRIST’S
PROGRESSIVE POSITIONING BY GOD WAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF OUR SALVATION
Jesus Christ,
yesterday, today and forever is in what ever position God ordained him to be
in. Every position and name/work that
Christ has been in, is in and will be in, has been given by appointment by God in
the purposes of God.
In John 17: 5, Jesus asks The Father to give him back The Glory [what he
was] that he had BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN.
Did he not know in his pre-existence The New Glory that God had planned for
him?
Before the foundation of the world, the one we know as Christ, was chosen by
God, and placed in a position of authority, as The Angel of The Lord,
chief messenger of God. When he was
sent, he came as The Son of Man he came as The Messenger of The Covenant.
When Jesus was promised to Joseph and Mary, it was said that he would be a
Saviour, but he did not become a Saviour, until his death on the cross.
When Jesus
came to earth, to be God’s Lamb for Sacrifice ; he was The Son of God, but he did
not enter into the position of being
The Son of God until after
his resurrection, when God The Father exalted him to being Christ and Lord,
thus entering the position and work of The Son of God as Christ and Lord,
High Priest and Head of The Church.
Before Jesus came as The Son of Man, he met Abraham in Genesis 14 : 18, he
was Priest, not High Priest. He
was to come and to die and be raised before he was exalted to High Priest,
as the Son of God, Christ and Lord. He
is not yet King of the Earth but Prince of his own Spiritual Kingdom, and Head
of the Church. His time as being King
over all the earth for 1000 years is yet to come, according to God’s timing,
purpose and plan. He is Lord over all
that God has given him to be Lord over in what ever is in relation to God’s
purposes for him.
As Christ progressed
in his journey out of Heaven into this world and now ‘In The Heavens’, these
names, which are descriptive of his works, most have been fulfilled.
He is now in A HIGHER POSITION THAN HE WAS IN BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE EARTH. This is by God’s appointment.
When Jesus died, his confidence in His Father was perfect as he willingly gave
his Life for His God and Father’s will and purposes. Jesus suffered death, going into The Realm of Death, where he
preached to those eternally bound in death, who are still kept in waiting for
judgement by God. Jesus knew His Father
would not leave him in Death, where he was to go, remembering that Death could
not hold him, while he was in the depths of Death.
The whole purpose of God and His appointments of Christ was in order for Christ
to work with God The Father by and through the necessary work to be carried out
in order for God to say to men of the future generations, “I will remember
your sins no more”. The peculiar
position that God planned and predestined for those who believe in the work of
the cross and the Baptism, is to be seen as Holy and Blameless, to become what
we are in His sight, by the power of His Spirit.
Predestination
is of Position and does not relate to a person being chosen for Salvation by
God, as God has said “Whosoever will
may come”. It is only by and
through the work of God and His Son, that anyone can come to God. And Jesus is The Way for “Whosoever”
would come to God. It is only
because Christ returned to His Father that we too can go to God, and to know
Him, and by His Power we are expected to do greater things than Jesus did.

10-14 Ephesians 1: 3-14 Hebrews 10: 14 2 Peter 1: 3-4
CHRIST JESUS IS TO BE OUR EXAMPLE
IF WE WOULD KNOW HIS FULNESS.
Jesus as The Son of Man stood in
the Gap of the Breach : the separation between God and man. He now stands as the Son of God with the work of Lamb of God and as
Baptiser, available for all who would believe and became the source of eternal
salvation for all who would partake of his full work as Lamb and Baptiser in
order that believers grow into his Fullness.
GOD STATED IN HIS WORD “NO MAN CAN REDEEM THE LIFE OF ANOTHER OR GIVE TO GOD A RANSOM FOR HIM. THE RANSOM FOR A LIFE IS COSTLY NO PAYMENT IS EVER ENOUGH THAT HE SHOULD LIVE ON FOREVER AND NOT SEE DECAY”. Psalm 49: 7-9
God, The Father had looked for
one, who would be one in mind and purpose, with Himself…. Moses, Daniel and
Isaiah all pleaded for Israel, but these men could not stand in the gap, so God
brought forth his Chief Angel, and sent him into a prepared body, to be a human
body so as to be a Son of Man.
So he came. Conceived
by God Himself, God sent His Son into the world. He grew up, learning the difference between good and evil, and
learned obedience through suffering and by his reverent submission to God, he
was made perfect. Hebrews 5: 7-10
At the age of thirty he began a
three ministry, when he was Baptised with The Spirit of God, by God Himself,
this fulfilled his title of Immanuel.
He spoke God’s Word, as God’s Word.
The fullness of God The Father dwelt in him by His Spirit, even
to and on the cross.
**Jesus was The Man who was God’s
Lamb and by God dwelling in him, God shed His blood to fulfil His own Criteria. Genesis 9:
5-6 Colossians 1: 19-20 Acts 20: 28
He came, lived and died and was
raised out of Death, by God The Father, and was exalted to the position of
Christ and Lord, and Prince of The Temple, and his Kingdom.
There is no other one, or way, but
through Christ, who is not a blackened coal without Life, but a
‘refiners fire’ to bring us to God. By
his works we come to The Father and are built by Christ, into the Temple
Wall, OF THE SPIRITUAL TEMPLE IN EXISTENCE NOW IN THE HEAVENLIES. IT IS HERE WE ARE TO GROW SPIRITUALLY INTO
THE LIKENESS OF CHRIST IN ORDER TO KNOW HIS FULNESS.
Warning : If there is
no Spiritual transformation into the likeness of Christ, we will not be
recognised by God nor by Christ.
THE TOTAL WORK OF JESUS CHRIST AS
LAMB OF GOD AND BAPTISER,
is powerfully represented in the
phrase, ‘IN THE NAME OF JESUS’.
As Son’s of God, co-heirs with
Christ, we have known the power of his work, i.e, his name.
This phrase is to be our Spiritual
Identification with Christ and his Work. This phrase is not intended to be used to
take the place of Christ. It does
not mean that Christ always speaks to The Father on our behalf; but He does
where there is the need of interceding.
The believer is to speak to God Himself and uses the phrase ‘In The Name
of Jesus’ as access and recognition of Christ’s Work that has enabled us to
come to The Father.
Hebrews 10:5 Isaiah 7: 14-16 Matthew 1: 21-23 John
12: 47-51 John 1: 1 Colossians 1: 19-20 Ephesians 1: 19-20 Galatians 1: 1 Romans 1: 3-4 Acts 2:
31-36 Acts 5: 29-32 Ezekiel 44: 3 Matthew 13: 37-42
Zechariah Chap 3 Ephesians 2:
18-22 1 Peter 2: 4-7 Romans 8: 26-27 2 Peter 1: 3-11 (which is speaking of his rule as King over the
earth for 1000 years).
Warning : Those who
do not enter through this man, by ignoring his work as Lamb of God, and as Baptiser
with Holy Spirit, shall know The Eternal Judgement of God. Those who use ‘The Name of Jesus’, but they have not known The Full Work of
Christ, they are in delusion as to their Spiritual Authority and Position over
all that which his name prevails.
THE WAY TO THE FATHER IS A STIPULATED PROGRESS SUPERVISED BY CHRIST AND THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
The Tabernacle and the Temples
built to God on earth, all reveal A Progressive Spiritual Journey, from the
world into God’s presence, and must be known by the believer to have Hope to
inherit Eternal Life, because of Christ’s work as The Way to The Father.
This journey reveals, divisions
or departments from one area to another, and is strongly displayed in the
present, Spiritual, Heavenly Temple as described by Ezekiel in Chapters 40 –
47.
These entrances and exits are strongly and emphatically declared and are therefore not to be ignored and seen as UNNECESSARY, while their presence is very obvious. Like the matter of The New Covenant they are spoken of within the space of a few chapters in the same Book of Ezekiel, which gives evidence of God’s emphatic Law as to His Plan and purposes for man and Christ.
According to the plan of Ezekiel’s
Temple, the believer will first enter The Courts which speak of Christ’s
Spiritual Kingdom, which is entered by coming to the cross. Here Christ is Prince, and by his Spirit
which is in the believer’s spirit. As
Prince, he guards the Gate of entry to The Sanctuaries, which is only gained
through Baptism with Holy Spirit, by Christ.
He encourages those in The Courts
to enter The Outer Sanctuary. This is
his purpose because it is God’s Will.
It is God The Father, who is The One and only One who by His Spirit,
will allow entry into The Inner Sanctuary, where His Throne is.
HOWEVER entrance into The Inner
Sanctuary, where God’s Throne is, will only be allowed by Him if there is no Idolatry of His Son as
God. They will be able to serve, as
priests in The Temple, but God The Father will not allow them near to serve
Him, nor come near His Holy Offerings or Things.

Warning : Those who refuse to realise the important role of
the Exits and The Entrances and the Full Work of Christ, not only as Lamb but
his High Priestly work as Baptiser with Holy Spirit, will not arrive into a
relationship with God The Father and His New Covenant Agreement. God’s Laws and Promises will be null and
void, as they have wasted them by ignoring the fact of a journey and remain
satisfied where they are.
Warning : While they
continue to do this, they will not be in the position to do The Will of God,
which is the Criteria to inherit Eternal Life.
Matthew 7: 21-23 1 John 2: 24-25 1 Peter 1: 3-12
Warning : If you are
looking to Jesus as God and Father, we encourage you to repent and to confess
this, and ask The Father to reveal His Truth to you.
John 16: 13-15 1 Corinthians 8: 6 James 2: 19 John 17: 3
Warning : ** Isaiah
prophetically warns those who would call Christ, Father, and therefore God and
hang on to him as one would a Peg. God
says ‘He will cut them down’.
THE MEANING OF LAW:
The Laws of God, are His
unchangeable Word, and powers which display its essence. His Laws with all knowledge, purpose and
justice, are the measure of His Righteousness.
The Laws of God which were written are not Laws of bondage but of
revelation of God and His love and power and Righteousness and Life. They are always with The Promise of an
abundant Life by God, which is God’s Law to those who trust in Him as God
alone, and in His New Covenant Agreement.
God’s Laws and Promises of any prophetic nature which have been promised to Israel have flowed on to the Gentiles who would believe, in God’s offer of Salvation, through His Son.
God’s Son was promised to Israel,
as was God’s Spirit promised to Israel and we are partakers of his work because
God has said that His Son would be a Light to The Gentiles.
Exodus 20 Galatians 3: 22 Galatians 3: 14 John
3: 16 Acts 11: 17-18 Luke 2: 25-32 Acts 22: 14-21 Romans
15: 14-15
When speaking of any Laws it is a
must to identify whose Law is being referred to.
E.g. The Law is of Sin and Death is where all mankind are born into its
Realm.
The Patriarchs were under The
Law of Sin and Death, which they opposed by walking in faith,
blameless, in God’s sight. Genesis 17:
1-2 was to be obeyed in order for Abraham to confirm his agreement with God’s
Covenant of Circumcision, which was a shedding of blood in obedience to
God. God credited those who did so,
with righteousness, and they were judged prior to their death, but
Heaven remained closed.
Romans 7: 24-25 John 3: 13 Matthew 27: 51-53
God’s new Law and invitation of
John 3: 16 wants to deal with The Law of Sin and Death, under which we are all
born, into The Death Realm. This Spiritual work is to be done in two steps
which confirm the need and purpose of The Exits and Entrances.
* THE FIRST STEP. Hearts are sprinkled by the blood, to cleanse from a guilty conscience, as Jesus was The Guilt Offering. Isaiah 53: 10 1 Peter 1: 2
* THE SECOND STEP. Having our bodies washed with Living Spirit Water, by Baptism with Holy Spirit. We are sanctified by the Spirit of God. Set apart.
Hebrews 10: 22 Romans 8: 10-11 John 3: 3-6 1
Corinthians 12: 13 1 Peter 1: 2 1 Corinthians 6: 11
Warning : ** Abraham
was Blessed because he obeyed God. Any
disobedience and God withholds Blessing.
God’s promises carry blessing for obedience and curses for disobedience.
Warning : Because of
all this work The exhortation is NOT TO deliberately and wilfully sin, with a
warning of judgement, that is immediately repeated after these two steps in
Hebrews. It is afterwards that His
healing can take place in the believer as we confess our sin and are cleansed
from its defilements, and any damage that sin and death have done in and to
us. There is no further sacrifice for
deliberate, wilful sin, but a cleansing because of the cross for those ‘In
Christ’, for unintentional sin. We are
to confess our sin in order for it to be cleansed.
1 John 1: 7-10
THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF THE REPEATING OF THE NEW COVENANT AND
ITS PROMISE THAT SIN IS FORGIVEN AND FORGOTTEN BY GOD.
IN ORDER THAT WE WILL REMEMBER.
Warning : To continue
to wilfully sin is not to be submitting oneself to the power of God, The
Father’s Spirit. Not to be an
over-comer is to scream back at the Sacrificial Spirit of both The Father and
The Son, “I don’t want to do your will,
I will do it My way.”
Why does a man continue to
wilfully sin after all that God offers him?
Is it simply because the reality of the delight of sin is greater and a
person finds it useful for his contentment rather than condemning it as
useless, as Jesus did, in the light of the knowledge of what God can do to
deliver him.
Romans 8: 1-17** Matthew 7: 21-23 Romans 8: 3-4
IMPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE A WARNING.
ANY MAN WHO WILFULLY SINS IS ACTING LIKE THE FIRST ADAM, EVEN THOUGH AT ONE TIME, WITH HIS MIND, HE HAD OBEYED GOD’S PLAN OF REDEMPTION.
So great is this issue that if one continues in sin, they act out unbelief and come against God Himself and The One whom God has ordained to be The Corner Stone of His Temple, seen as The Stone of Offence, because he causes men, if they do not believe in him to be crushed. God His Father shall crush them, as those who with God and Christ in them deliberately and wilfully continue to sin. It has required the work of the cup of death and its mechanics by the death of God’s Son to reinstate us into the relationship that Adam had with God and more. This is why God says, “If you do what Adam did, expect Adam’s results”. 1 Corinthians 15: 22
Jesus, condemned and
detested unbelief. Our Hope is to be in
The Living God, who is The Saviour of all men, especially to those who
believe. 1 Timothy 4: 10.
Those ‘In Christ’ who continue in deliberate sin, are not removed from the Spiritual Body. Their Spiritual Gifts, generally will operate even though not in fellowship with God. They will suffer judgement by Christ as to their sin and the use (if any) of their Spiritual Gift.
Here we see a double accountability.
However, God sees that
men like this will continue on in their ways and it becomes impossible
for these believers to repent, because of their deeds. God has said that He will wait aside from
them and wait for repentance, from them for their guilt, until they seek His
Face in misery, earnestly seeking Him. Spiritual prostitution without
responsibility to The Power of God, given to those In Christ, is great sin.
It is The Law of
The Heavens, that those who deliberately sin after knowing full pardon of all
sin and of that which is remembered no more, are called
by Jesus in Matthew 13: 47-50, ‘Bad Fish’,
who will have their reward when Christ judges them, because they are ‘In
Christ’.
Warning : Woe, Woe,
Woe to those who are bad fish In Christ, who are in The Present Kingdom of
Heaven and those who do evil in Christ’s Kingdom. The Fiery Furnace will be their Eternal Abode.
Mark 12: 9-10 Matthew 21: 44 1 Peter 2: 7-8 Matthew 25: 14-30 Hebrews 6: 4-8 Hosea 5: 4 Hosea 5: 15 Hosea 4: 6 Matthew 13: 47-50 Matthew 13: 37-42 Hebrews 10: 39-41 2 Corinthians 5: 10 1 Thessalonians 4: 16 NO 2 Timothy 4: 8, for bad fish.
Warning : It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of The Living God and His Son for judgement because of disobedience.
Hebrews 10: 29 Jude 1: 14-20 Hebrews 6: 4-8
THE JUDGEMENTS; A
CRY OF WARNING:
According to Jesus there are differing places that will become an Eternal Abode for those who, as believers, defy God’s Will, and whose names will be blotted out of The Book of Life. Yes!
Christ will judge those
In Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4: 16 Matthew 13: 47-50
2 Corinthians 5: 10
God will judge those of
The World. Revelation 20: 11-15
Christ’s angels will weed out those in Christ’s Kingdom. Those who have done evil and cast them into The Fiery Furnace. The others will be handed to God by Christ for God to judge them. The best for them will be Outer Darkness, as they will be judged according to their works.
Remember the warning to The Unbaptised with Holy Spirit.
There will be The Fiery
Furnace, for those In Christ who do not do the will of God and for those in
Christ’s Kingdom who do evil. Outer
Darkness will be for those who did not take the full work of Christ and God
shall judge them for their works. The
Lake of Fire is Hell, which is reserved for those whose names have never been in The Book of Life.
Matthew 25: 30 Matthew 13: 47-50 Matthew 13: 37-42 Revelation 20: 11-15 Revelation 3: 5 & 17: 8 Matthew 7: 21-23 Mark 16: 14-16
IT IS ONLY IN RELATIONSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER, THAT WE CAN DO HIS WILL, AS JESUS DID, AND HIS LAWS OF HEAVEN CAN BE WRITTEN AND EXPANDED IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS.
TO KNOW GOD.
We are to look to God The Father, as God alone. We are to love
Him with all of our heart, mind and soul, totally given over to God in all
areas of our lives, which is how we Spiritually shed our blood and how we will
know the renewal of our mind by seeing that God’s Will is so good, and doing it
His way, as one knows it.
1 Corinthians 8:6 John 17: 3 James 2: 19 Matthew
22: 37-40 Romans 12: 1-2
We are to ask of Him all
things, In order that He will lead us at all times. We are to give all praise
and thanks to The Father, while giving thanks to Jesus for his obedience to His
Father. By this we thank God for the
power of the Name of Jesus, because it was his works with God, that brought us
to The Father. John 5: 17
The Father is to guide
us, and teach us Truth. As the Spirit of Truth He will lead us into
all Truth, concerning Himself and His
Son. We will know the works of
His Seven Spirits which He operates by His One Spirit. His Spirit
of Truth, Wisdom and Revelation, Holiness, Grace, Glory, life are known to us in all His Power by His Spirit
because we know His Spirit of Adoption
and we are Sons, by the work of His Spirit.
God, The Father, is to be our Healer, Deliverer,
Provider, Protector and Director. He
would have us trust in Him alone in regard to
these works, because these are His works alone, and not to call upon Him
as ‘a last resort’. It is trusting Him in these completely, that
declares our faith, and gives praise to His Name. Nothing is impossible with God, for all that is ‘good’ for us.
We are to gain the knowledge
of the absolute difference of what Life is to Death, Good from Evil, as we
apply ourselves diligently to His teaching of Righteousness.
John 16: 23-28 Ephesians 5: 20 John 5: 17 John 16:
13-15 Revelation 1: 4 &
4: 5 Hebrews 5: 13-14
His knowledge shall
reveal new things which he expects to bring out to us, from His Store Houses.
Continual Revelation is the
will of God in order that the depths and dimensions of His purposes are opened
up to our understanding, which expands His Word and enlarges Himself and His
Son to us, to understand what are their individual works.
To believe that there is
nothing more for us to know of God and Christ, is to stand in opposition to any
new revelation which in His purpose and will is for those who are of His New
Covenant.
Hosea 4: 6 My people are destroyed from lack of
knowledge. Because you have rejected
knowledge, I will also reject you as My Priests, because you have ignored the
Law of your God, I will also ignore your children.
The keeping of His
Commandments, gives health to our bodies and bones by the free flowing of His
Spirit in and through us and The Fruit of His Spirit is manifested in our
personalities, by God’s Spirit making our mortal bodies alive.
Matthew 13: 52 1 Corinthians 2: 9-10 Hebrews 5: 13-14 Galatians 5: 16-25 Isaiah Chap 58 Psalm 103: 1-6 Romans
8: 11 1 John 2: 24-25
Warning : It is
important to consider, that a Day called Sabbath is set aside by the Christian
for their Spiritual as well as their Physical well being. It was for Israel a sign to all those around
them of their worship of The Living God.
So important was its observance, that those who failed to do so would be
put to death. What does this say to us
of a command given to us by One who is The I Am?
What a mighty and
powerful God is Our Father, who would have us to know Him in close Fellowship
and to speak to Him naturally in ‘the spiritual language’ of His Kingdom,
because God gives His people The Laws of Heaven, which is His Domain, of which
we are called to obey, because we spiritually live in them and to be the
manifold wisdom of God to principalities and powers.
Isaiah 32: 12 The fruit of righteousness is Peace; the effect of righteousness is quietness and
confidence.
Warning : The neglect of speaking in tongues is very detrimental to the welfare of the believer and to the church, in regard to healing and deliverance and the gaining of knowledge concerning all circumstances in relation to Ministry and Service in God’s Will.
Our communication by The Spiritual Language of Tongues is
by The Father and The Son in and through us, which is pure because it is Spirit
of God and of Christ and is therefore Power.
Jude 1: 20-21 Ephesians 6: 18 1 Corinthians 14
Romans 8: 26-27 Revelation 2:
23 2 Samuel 23: 2 Ephesians 3: 10-12
GOD’S LAW IS THAT:
OUR FELLOWSHIP IS TO BE
WITH GOD OUR FATHER. IT IS OUR LOVING
OBLIGATION TO BE FAITHFUL TO HIS WILL AND PURPOSE. SO THERE WILL BE NO ‘CORROSION’ OR ‘CALCIFICATION’ OF THE WORKS
OF HIS SPIRIT IN US OR ILL EFFECTS UPON OUR BODIES. THE WORK OF THE SPIRIT WILL REMAIN IN US TO BE SEEN BY THE SON
WHEN HE JUDGES US. JESUS WILL SEE THE
TRANSFORMATION AND THE RESULT WILL TESTIFY AS TO WHETHER WE WILL INHERIT. BECAUSE GOD IS FAITHFULL TO HIS PLAN THAT TO
THOSE WHO SHED THEIR BLOOD HE IS JOYFULLY OBLIGATED TO GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE IN
THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BECAUSE WE DID HIS WILL.
1 John 1: 3 2 Corinthians 5:10 Matthew 13: 47-50 2 Corinthians 3: 17-18 1 Corinthians 13: 12 Ephesians 3: 12 1 John 2: 24-25
Revelation Chaps 21 – 22
Matthew 7: 21-23
IN CLOSING:
Many are invited i.e. all may come to The Father through the work of Jesus Christ but few will be chosen. This is speaking of the few who shall enter Eternal Life, because they did the Will of The Father, not disregarding His Covenant Promise and conditions which binds what His Will is; what The New Covenant Promise is. They gave their lives to His Will as Jesus did : this is how they shed their blood.
THIS IS LOVE FOR GOD, TO OBEY HIS COMMANDS. CONSIDER HIS WARNINGS.
HE WHOM THE LORD LOVES, HE CHASTENS.
PLEASE READ every verse of scripture very carefully because it is God’s Word. Note the small words, the ‘in, on, and, but, if, is, was’ for they carry applications of Truth.
If you are unbaptised
with Holy Spirit, you can ask Jesus yourself or go where others can pray for you,
for Baptism with Holy Spirit.
Look into God’s Word and begin to discern what is God’s Work and what is Christ’s Work.
John 5: 17 John 16: 13-15 John 16: 23-28 Ephesians 1: 17
Let God, The Father speak to you, so that He and His Son are glorified.
