         OUR GOD IS THE LIVING GOD!
     EVERYTHING NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL IS IN MOTION!
     GOD'S PRESENCE TRANSCENDS THE UNIVERSE

   

     He Reveals His Presence and His Pattern for demonstrating
   
Himself By His SPIRIT and WORD!
    It is a privilege to "SEE" God and "HEAR" His VOICE!


    Genesis 1:3 (AMP)

    And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
    Psalm 119:13 (AMP)
    The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light;
    their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.

   

     The streets of the City of Lights are Pure Gold.
   They are translucent!  Lamp Light is translucent!
   The Heart of God is Pure!
  
 
 
    Translucence is a quality of Light that enables the colors of the rainbow
    to radiate in their glory! They are seen in translucent array in the sky!
    Websters Dictionary denotes: 'to shine through' (trans); 'Light' (luc're);
    1. permitting the passage of light
        a. clear, transparent
        b. transmitting and diffusing light
    2. free from disguise or falseness

 
  
There is a thread of precious Golden Nuggets revealing the Revelation
    of Christ throughout the portals of HGMI Fellowship and Communion
    Ministries.  God's Knowledge and His Glory Presence is Vibrant and
    readily accessible through the posted scriptures and inspired writings
    as we fellowship in Him!
    This web page is a Banquet of Spiritual "Food and Drink."

    

   
    This web page title Glory to Glory is in reference to the abundant messages
    written
and published for our edification and enlightenment!
    God's plan and desire
are that we live an authentic, vibrant Christian life abiding in Him!


                              
Symbolic Language
   
Symbolic language is commonly used in encounters with the Holy Ghost!
     Sometimes we "hear" instructions or experience a flood of information
    
in which to convey to others (prophesy...to utter).  Sometimes He encounters
     in dreams which are symbolic to spiritual events in which foretells where,
     how or what we are to do in a situation or direction (steps) we are to walk.
     Sometimes He encounters in open visions (Vivid Powerful Imagery)
     expressed as symbolic icons of persons or things or as visionary
     demonstrations of people, things or events.
     In a VISION... Ananias saw Paul praying at the street called straight.
     In a VISION...Paul saw him coming to him.

   
Acts 9:10-12 (AMP)
    10 Now there was in Damascus a disciple named Ananias.
    The Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias.
    And he answered, Here am I, Lord.
    11 And the Lord said to him, Get up and go to the street called Straight
    and ask at the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul,
    for behold, he is praying [there].
    12 And he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias enter
    and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.

    In a VISION... Paul saw a man in Macedonia, speaking to him...
    Acts 16:9 (AMP)
    [There] a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man from Macedonia
    stood pleading with him and saying, Come over to Macedonia and help us!

    In a VISION... Peter saw a sheet coming down toward him with animals in it...
    Acts 11:5-7 (AMP)
    5 I was in the town of Joppa praying, and [falling] in a trance I saw a vision
    of something coming down from heaven, like a huge sheet lowered by the
    four corners; and it descended until it came to me.
    6 Gazing intently and closely at it, I observed in it [a variety of] four-footed
    animals and wild beasts and reptiles of the earth and birds of the air,
    7 And I heard a voice saying to me, Get up, Peter; kill and eat.

    

   
The King James Version Bible contains 409 references to gold.
    Most of the references pertain to the realm of Vivid Powerful Imagery
    rather than the literal reality realm of physical gold.  
    Let us consider imagery as in a Gold Rush.
    In a literal sense of a gold rush, it requires one to "stake a claim" at the river
    or land site.  The ownership is recorded in a registry or 'book of names and place.'
    The site is to be "gleaned."
    Physical tools are used to find the "golden nuggets": "pick," "shovel," and use of
    a "sift pan or sluice box."  Water is usually the source of discovering the gold.
    Some times it is but particles (fine gold dust) that is obtained though concentrated efforts.
    Symbolically, in the spiritual realm, we stake our claim as serious disciples with hearts
    and minds intently set to pan and sift God's Word for golden nuggets (His Precepts)
    for our spiritual prosperity as they flow as rivers from the Word and Spirit of Life
    within our innermost being!
    John 7:38 (AMP)
    He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me]
    as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow
    [continuously] springs and rivers of living water.
   
    The flowing Waters of the Spirit reveals our Divine Gold Strike!
    The Water uncovers (reveals) the golden nuggets of wisdom, knowledge
    and understanding (knowledge to discern, comprehend, and interpret).
    His manifest Presence in His multiplicities of Glory is our reward! 

    
 
    Gold represents the Deity of God!
    The streets of the City of Lights are Pure Gold.
    They are translucent!  Lamp Light is translucent!
    The Heart of God is Pure!
     It is clear and free from disguise and falseness.  
 


     
    
Psalm 19:9-10 (AMP)
    9 The [reverent] fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
    the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
    10 More to be desired are they than gold, even than much fine gold;
    they are sweeter also than honey and drippings from the honeycomb.

    {Note: "Reverent fear" denotes LOVE, HONOR and WORSHIP.
               "Clean" represents the PURE HEART and Right Standing.
               "Enduring forever" denotes ETERNITY}.


              

 PURITY of HEART   by Tom Hill
 
Posted to Inner Chambers webpage (Glory Now Ministries)       
    

   

    
Please read the following scripture observing the FACTS disclosed very carefully.
     Revelation 1:1 (AMP)
     [This is] the revelation of Jesus Christ 
     [His unveiling of the divine mysteries].
     God gave it to Him to disclose and make known to His bond servants
     certain things which must shortly and speedily come to pass
     in their entirety. And He sent and communicated it through His angel
     (messenger) to His bond servant John,


    This verse gives very specific details for which we are to gain understanding
    (knowledge to discern, comprehend, and interpret)
    Revelation 1:1 (AMP).
    What was given? The Revelation:
    [This is] the revelation of Jesus Christ
    [His unveiling of the divine mysteries].

    To Whom was the Revelation given?
    • God gave it to Him {John}
    Why was the revelation given?
    • to disclose and make known to His bond servants {the servants of God}
    What is given?   
    • certain things which must shortly and speedily
      come to pass in their entirety.

    {Note: to come to pass in John's life time! ...not 2000 years later in ours.
     Time is God's "overseer" of all things... He is the Eternal God}

    Mark 13:30 (AMP) [Jesus speaking to the inner circle disciples about
    the things of woe to come upon perverse apostate Israel]:

    Surely I say to you, this generation (the whole multitude of people
    living at that one time) positively will not perish or pass away
    before all these things take place.
    Matthew 24:34 (AMP)
    Truly I tell you, this generation the whole multitude of people living
    at the same time, in a definite, given period) will not pass away till
    all these things taken together take place.
    [Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman Army beginning their assault in 64 AD,
    The Holy Place... the "Temple of Gold" was burned by the priests 70 AD]

    How was the message conveyed from God to John?
    • And He sent and communicated it through His angel (messenger)
      to His bond servant John,  
  

     Revelation contains hundreds of subtle allusions, allegories, and figurative speech,
     as well as little known religious rituals of the Hebrew people.
     These rituals are revealed in scripture, but rarely are they diligently studied.
     If we are to receive the
PURE GOLD from the scriptures we must understand
     that Deity speaks in a language of symbolism.
     Father God set  forth "patterns" as He concealed the fullness of His Son
     in historical and physical accounts of places, people and events in the Old Testament.
     In the New Testament, He unveils the full revelation of Jesus Who He Himself
     set "patterns" of symbolism in His Parables.
     AND the GREATEST REVELATION is the DISCLOSURE of Father God! 
     Only the Begotten Son eternally with Him before the foundations of the Worlds...
     In the Beginning in the physical (natural) creation of all things of the heavens
        and the earth,
     In the history of mankind,
     AND In the Advent mission to the earth to Reveal the Father and His Kingdom
      STANDS the Son of God Faithful and Pure Shining the Light on the Almighty God!
    
     To apprehend and grasp the Truth, Life and Spirit of Jesus the Light to mankind,
     we are given Two Testimonies!  The testimony of the natural and the testimony
     of the Spiritual!  John wrote his Revelation of Christ's message in symbolism.
     Therefore, to understand the writings of the the Old and New Texts,
     we must become familiar with the "language" in which it is written.
   
     Revelation 3:18 (AMP)
     Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me
     gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy,
     and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your
     nudity from being seen,
     and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.

    The ancient original Hebrew reveals the Word of God as written and
    based upon the numeric 0 through 9 to form
a pictographic language.
    These pictographs are fully Hebrew, distinguishable in both literal and
    symbolic form.

   
    Examine Revelation 3:18 with us to find the Golden Nuggets!
   
● Purchase from Me Gold refined:  Conformity to the Word of God.
   
● Tested by Fire:  Fire is figurative of the Holy Ghost.
   
● Wealthy: Prospering in all things.
   
● White clothes: The covering of Righteousness.
   
● Shame of your nudity: Lack of Knowledge of God's Word.
   
● Salve to put on your eyes:
Enlightenment, Illumination, Revelation.
   
 
   

   
[Note: In the study of the Living Word of God, many find, understanding
    the spiritual realm of scriptures remains challenging for them.
    However, just as the disciples of Jesus sought Him for clarification,
    as we yield to the Holy Spirit, He too, shows us the scriptures relevancy
    by "putting salve on our spiritual eyes!"


   
If you take time to read and meditate upon both the natural data and the
    spiritual applications within the scriptures presented in this "Glory to Glory"
    web page with the spirit of your mind aligned with the Mind of the Spirit,
    you will experience an illumination of understanding!

    You will "see" THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST rather than suppositions,
    postponement theology and ideology taught in a literal sense based wholly
    of one's intellect.
    Reading the Word of God with a teachable mind and a "thirst" for the guidance
    of the Holy Ghost is worship... it honors God and exalts the work of Christ!

Revelation 22:1 (AMP)
    Then he showed me the river whose waters give life, sparkling like crystal,
    flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

    The Book of Revelation remains one of the most disputed of the Holy Bible. 
    WHY?  

    Answer: It is usually interpreted as "prophesy" for a future time based upon
    "dispensational futurism."  This premise or "theology" (dispensationism) is in great error.
    There has been a proliferation of bibles and books written promoting the original work
    of John Nelson Darby.  Yes, there is a Darby Translation And there are Bibles which
    have been influenced by his and others 'new age' heresy and manipulation to build
    doctrine to diffuse the very holiness of God's record of Truth, Life and Spirit!
    [see: both "The Apostle" and "Last Days of the Church Age?" links in Inner Chambers]

    Revelation was written to a people experiencing an apostate Israel entrenched
    in worshiping a demonic
Roman regime headed by the notorious lunatic,
    Nero Claudius Caesar.

    The narrative of Nero well describes him in all the ways of the flesh in the same manner
    the people of the days of Noah are depicted.
    Nero is observed in such great detail that we can depict the Beast of Revelation! 
    It is in the symbolic language of Revelation that John captures the events and judgments
    to come "shortly" in John's Generation and Not some 2000 or 3000 years into the future!


   
The Revelation of Jesus Christ was given to John to strengthen and encourage
    the Body of Christ recorded as the Seven Churches of Asia Minor.  Great peril was
    coming as Jesus had told His disciples on Mount of Olives. 
    He was sending Judgment upon those who crucified Him and had decreed to let
    His blood be on them and their children.  He was "Coming on the Clouds"
    "Clouds' or Legions of Roman Army headed byfulfill the prophesies He had spoken regarding the "Last Days"...
    "The End of the Age"... the Testimony of His Authority and Power to restore Israel
    to the Original Plan and Purpose of God: Recognition, Love, Peace, Righteousness
    and Communion!   
     
    Paul, too, writes
of seven Asia churches.
    We need to recognize again the importance of the numeral "seven." 
    Seven figuratively represents the perfecting process of God!
    Genesis records the "creative processes" in establishing the heavens and the earth.
    God is the author and finisher of the infinite universe.  He being a living dynamic being
    has authored all things with movement and increase! His attribute to increase all things
    natural and spiritual is His Divine Blessing.  Everything has the ability to reproduce
    it's own kind!  Whole galaxies too, are replaceable.. they regenerate out of "black holes."
    Darkness can be for Good or for Evil.  Everything natural and spiritual was created to progress.
    It is designed before the foundations of the world to Succeed!  To Progress in its Completion! 
   The Creation was COMPLETED on the Seventh Day and God "rested." 
    He rested from His Work!  It was DONE... FINISHED!... COMPLETED!
    Genesis 2:2-3 (AMP)
    2 And by the seventh day God completed His work which He had done,
    and He rested (ceased) on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
    3 So God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it [as His own, that is,
    set it apart as holy from other days], because in it He rested from all His work
    which He had created and done.

    Progression of The Natural >  The Creation is NOW expanding at an exponential rate!
    Progression of the Spiritual >  The NEW CREATION is expanding at an exponential rate!

    Genesis 1:11,12;20-22;24,25 (AMP)
    11 And God said, Let the earth put forth [tender] vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees
    yielding fruit whose seed is in itself, each according to its kind, upon the earth. And it was so.
    12 The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed according to their own kinds and trees
    bearing fruit in which was their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good
    (suitable, admirable) and He approved it.
    20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly and swarm with living creatures,
    and let birds fly over the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.
    21 God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves,
    which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kinds,
    and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good
    (suitable, admirable) and He approved it.
    22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters in the seas,
    and let the fowl multiply in the earth.
    24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds:
    livestock, creeping things, and [wild] beasts of the earth according to their kinds. And it was so.
    25 And God made the [wild] beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and domestic animals
    according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the earth according to its kind.
    And God saw that it was good (fitting, pleasant) and He approved it.


    It is also important that we examine the churches sited as that which represents things "eternal."
    The seven churches were in close proximity to the Isle of Patmos where John was encountered
    and taken into the heavenly realm.  

    There is a very finite procedure in accurately interpreting the scriptures.
    The "principle" of "first" is by divine order and is observable in both the natural (physical)
    and the spiritual. We will study these principles in this web page "          


 


     

      As we search and openly labor to understand the texts, we are taught by
    the Holy Spirit what it means to believe in God's sovereignty and justice
    rather than a "limited" interpretation of men who insist upon a strictly
    literal interpretation.
 
    The human being is created with a body soul and spirit! The soul is eternal!
    It is God (Father, Son and Holy Ghost) Who created the reality of mankind!
    We are created in His IMAGE!
    Genesis 1:26 (AMP)
    God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image,
    after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish
    of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth,
    and over everything that creeps upon the earth.
    Genesis 2:7-8 (AMP)
    Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground
    and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life,
    and man became a living being.
    [The same essential chemical elements that are in the soil are found in man
     and animal life.  This scientific fact was not known to man until recent
    times, but God has revealed that man is formed of the dust.]

    NOW it is proper for our edification to seek the "the pattern of the Son!"
    Let Him demonstrate to us as He demonstrated to the disciples in their
    "generation" the Key to His Parables!  He used Vivid Powerful Imagery!
    They could not "see" to receive the spiritual understanding for they
    had not as yet received the anointing Presence of the Holy Ghost within
    them to teach and guide them into all Truth!  Rather, they were taught
    by Jesus the living flesh and blood Son of God Who was anointed as God,
    the "Anointed One!"  He was sent to earth to reveal the Kingdom!
    Today, by the Law of the Spirit (Romans Chapter Eight) God is living
    and abiding within the disciples of Jesus!  We have the empowerment
    of the Holy Ghost to receive spiritual enlightenment, illumination
    and revelation directly from the the spiritual food, Bread of Life of the Word
    and spiritual drink of the Wine of the Holy Spirit! (The wine represents the
    Blood of Christ...all life is in the blood of both the natural and the spiritual.


           Symbolic Language
   
Let the Light Shine upon Matthew 13:18-23 and Mark 4:13-20
    There are 7 Keys to apply to our daily walk as 'sons" of God.
      
    We pray that you will receive the fellowship of ministries aligned
    in Communion with us and that you will monitor and frequent
    the resources and services of HGMI made freely available.
    May you find enrichment in the truth of the messages in which
    we are inspired to labor and to publish.
    And, may God illuminate your hearts and minds to His Marvelous
    Light of Truth, Life and Spirit in a new and exciting way!
.


     
       Revelation 21:23 (AMP)
       And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to give light to it,
       for the splendor and radiance (glory) of God illuminate it,
       and the Lamb is its lamp.


   
The City of God is the New Jerusalem!
    Spiritual Israel, the Spiritual Holy Ghost Energized Church lives Today
    on the earth.  Eternity is a Now reality... it is progressively experienced
    and it has No borders or limitations.  Our eternal transformed walk begins
    the moment we make peace with God through the Gospel of His Son!
    The reality of this transformation is evident in the Light of Jesus!


           

 
God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him!




   
Hebrews 11:6 (AMP)
    But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory
    to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe
    that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly
    and diligently seek Him [out].

    What are the rewards given to us?
    The list is very long!
    In fact, the rewards expand space and time!
    God loves to place crowns upon our "heads"!
    (Note: Our 'head' is the location of our "spirit mind.")
    God does not withhold any Good thing from us!

   
    Romans 8:32 (AMP)
    He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son
    but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely
    and graciously give us all [other] things?   

    Did you "catch" the NUGGET?
    God does not teach doctrines that advocate withholding
    the Kingdom in Christ from us until a latter date such as Jesus is coming,
    the "great tribulation" is ahead of us, prophesy by the interpretation
    of the daily newspaper or cable news. Yet, there are those who do!

    We live in a NOW dynamic living Kingdom of Glory!
    Christ Jesus Reigns Today!
    He Reigns from the Promised Eternal Throne of David! Now!
    Both Peter and Paul declare His crowning and eternal Reign!

    (Acts 2:14-36;  Acts 13:16-39)

    The eternal throne is a TRIUNE.
    In essence, we walk by the Mind of Christ

    1 Corinthians 2:16 (AMP)
    For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes)
    of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge?
    But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts
    (feelings and purposes) of His heart.
    And, it is God the Father who knows the Spirit Whom He gave to the Son!
    As a reward to the Completion of His earthly mission, Holy Spirit was also
    given to those who believe and walk by the Mind of Christ... His patterns!
  
    Romans 8:27(AMP)
    And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind
    of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes
    and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and
    in harmony with God’s will.

    As "One" in WORD and in SPIRIT, the Godhead abides in the redeemed.
    God leads and guides us in our walk in the Kingdom of Light!
    Within this "Trinity" is the divine function of "ONE God."
    Thus, "One" God is not a "Jesus Only" God!
    (Note: see web page "Blessed Holy Trinty")
    John 10:30 (AMP)
    I and the Father are One.

    John 17:21 (AMP)
    That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You,
    that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and
    be convinced that You have sent Me.
    John 16:13-15 (AMP)
    13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes,
    He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).
    For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority];
    but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father;
    He will give the message that has been given to Him],
    and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come
    [that will happen in the future].
    14 He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon)
    what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.
    15 Everything that the Father has is Mine.
    That is what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit] will take the things
    that are Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you..
   

   

Revelation 21:23 (AMP)
And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to give light to it,
for the splendor and radiance (glory) of God illuminate it,
and the Lamb is its lamp.

   
   
The Lord Jesus Christ is crowned with Glory and
    sits at the right hand of Father God...
    (Note: "seated at the right hand" denotes "having all Power and Authority")   


    What about the crowns of reward Father God has provided for us?
    Response: The most valuable crowns are those of which God places upon
    and within our lives for daily living, NOW!

    Love is the Rule of the Kingdom of God!
    Mark 12:30 (AMP)
    And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart
    and out of and with all your soul (your life) and out of and with all your
    mind (with your faculty of thought and your moral understanding)
    and out of and with all your strength.
    This is the first and principal commandment
    Galatians 5:14 (AMP)
    For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is complied
    with in the one precept, You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself.

    The Crown of Love is demonstrated by Christ for His Body!

    Isaiah 54:5 (AMP)
    For your Maker is your Husband—the Lord of hosts is His name
     —and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God
    of the whole earth He is called.
    Ephesians 5:25 (AMP)
    25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and
    gave Himself up for her,


    Jesus has a fervent Love for His woman, His bride, His Wife!
    She is the instrumentality of His kingdom, His Body...She is the church!
    He sees her as holy, set apart for His pleasure and washed by the Word
    presented to Himself!

    Ephesians 5:25-27 (AMP)
    25 Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her
    with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and
    gave Himself up for her,
    26 so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing
    of water with the word [of God],
    27 so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor,
    without spot or wrinkle or any such thing;
    but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless.
    Psalm 8:1 (AMP)
    8 O Lord, our Lord,
    How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!
    You have displayed Your splendor above the heavens.
    Ephesians 5:27 The Voice Translation
    27 He has given Himself so that He can present the church as His radiant bride,
    unstained, unwrinkled, and unblemished—completely free from all impurity—
    holy and innocent before Him. 
    If Jesus had not completed the work of the Cross of Crucifixion,
    He would not have completed His mission.
    In like manner as the work of the Creation of the Natural world was Finished,
    Jesus Finished the Spiritual work of the New Creation!

    It is Father God Who sacrificed His Son as a set apart Unblemished Lamb, holy and pure.
    Jesus GAVE HIMSELF that He could present the initial eye-witness church
    as His radiant Bride!  When He was crowned in Glory, He sent the Promise of the Father
    (the Holy Ghost) to the 120 faithful
to empower them with His glorious splendor!
    God's Splendor was sent to those who were washed with the Word of the Kingdom of Heaven
    by Jesus Himself!

   
Some of His crowns (diadems...royal powers and dignity) bestowed upon us as we communion
    with Him are divine favor, life eternal, seated in high places with Him, right standing
with God.
    These are the heavenly glorious splendors of which Christ is Exalted!
   
   
Ephesians 2:5-6 (AMP)
    5 Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses,
    He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ;
    [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He
    quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did
    not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers
    of Christ’s salvation).
    6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together
    [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere
    [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

    Other crowns with which He blesses us are the Nine Fruit of the Spirit,
    [Galatians 5:22-23 love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
    faithfulness, gentleness, self-control] fervent obedience, health, praise,
    honor, and glory.  THESE,TOO are heavenly glorious splendors!
 

     We are to hold the flaming crowns of the Fruit of the Spirit high,
    KNOWING the reality of what is coming in our Hope.
    The Quality of Life of Patience within our Hope is a high spiritual crown!
    By the Light of the Spirit we can see the 'placement' of many crowns upon
    our spiritual head (spiritual mind).

    To be in the energy (power of the Light) of Patience as well as in the energy
    of all other Fruit of the Spirit is challenging to our soul, but there is relaxation
    that manifests to make a huge difference in our outlook and expectation!

    Lamentations 3:25 (AMP)
    25 The Lord is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for Him,
    to those who seek Him [inquire of and for Him and require Him by right
    of necessity and on the authority of God’s word].

    Psalm 147:11
    The Lord takes pleasure in those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him,
    in those who hope in His mercy and loving-kindness.
    (Note: to reverently fear is to love and honor.)

    The Lord Jesus instructs us as such:
    Matthew 6:25-34 (AMP)
    25 Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried)
    about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink;
    or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality]
    than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing?
    26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather
    into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them.
    Are you not worth much more than they?
    27 And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit
    of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the [b]span of his life?
    28 And why should you be anxious about clothes?
    Consider the lilies of the field and earn thoroughly how they grow;
    they neither toil nor spin.
    29 Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his magnificence (excellence, dignity, and grace)
    was not arrayed like one of these.
    30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive
    and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much
    more surely clothe you, O you of little faith?
    31 Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying,
    What are we going to have to eat?
    or, What are we going to have to drink?
    or, What are we going to have to wear?
    32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently
    seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well
    that you need them all.
    33 But seek ([e]aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom
    and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then
    all these things taken together will be given you besides.
    34 So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow,
    for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own.
    Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.


   
(SPECIAL NOTE: That which has just been presented by Holy Ghost
    is Precisely the WILL, PLAN, PURPOSE and WAYS of God the Holy Trinity...
    The "ONE" God of all things!)


    Jesus reveled to His disciples that He was sending the Holy Ghost
    to represent Him: [re-present].
    He identified the Holy Spirit as the Comforter! He is the Standby, the Helper!
    Psalm 94:19 (AMP)
    19 In the multitude of my [anxious] thoughts within me,
    Your comforts cheer and delight my soul!

    WE LIVE IN THE NOW KINGDOM!  JESUS COMPLETED HIS WORK!
    The Kingdom of God is in earth progressing as ordained!
    ALL... yes ALL Things are set in place and progressing in God's Blessings...
    His Increase... His Multiplicity!   There are NOW approximately 8 Billion people
    of all nations and languages on the earth!.
    Revelation 7:9 (AMP)
    9 After these things I looked, and this is what I saw: a vast multitude which no one could count,
    [gathered] from every nation and from all the tribes and peoples and languages [of the earth],
    standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Christ), dressed in white robes,
    with palm branches in their hands;

    [Note: Palm branches are Symbolic of victory and joy used on festive occasions.
    This  passage was a scene or vision John saw in relation to events after the
    Great Tribulation of
AD.64  through  AD.70   There are many doctrines regarding
    the Great Tribulation.  See the Book of Matthew Chapter 24 in the Amplified Version.
    Much attention will be given to this topic and the topic of Rapture disbursed within
    the many web pages of the:
                                              

    

     
          Revelation 21:23 (AMP)            And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to give light to it,            for the splendor and radiance (glory) of God illuminate it,            and the Lamb is its lamp.

   
Regarding the coming Day of His Ascension to Enthronement,
    Jesus said to his appointed forerunners:

    John 16:13-15 (AMP)
    13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes,
    He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).
    For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority];
    but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message
    that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things
    that are to come [that will happen in the future].

    14 He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine
    and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.

    15 Everything that the Father has is Mine.That is what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit]
    will take the things that are Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.

    This passage about the Coming of God the Holy Spirit is one of the most revealing of
    the New Testament!  Holy Spirit is the Person of the Eternal Spirit Who along with the
    Holy Scriptures open the full Revelation to the Kingdom of God!

                 

    Holy Spirit loves to fellowship and greatly enjoys showering us with peace and joy!
    Romans 14:17 New King James Version (NKJV)
    17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,
    but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

 
    He loves music and the dance, too!
    Psalm 150:4 (AMP)
    4 Praise Him with tambourine and [single or group] dance;
    praise Him with stringed and wind instruments or flutes!

 
    He has inspired men who witnessed the Life, Death, Resurrection, Kingdom teaching
    and demonstrations of the Lord Jesus Christ to write concerning Him... the WORD
    witnessed by Heaven and Earth that Jesus is the Lord of all things!
    1 John 5:7-9 (AMP)
    7 So there are three witnesses in heaven: the Father,
    the Word and the Holy Spirit, and these three are One;
    8 and there are three witnesses on the earth:
    the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree
    [are in unison; their testimony coincides].
    9 If we accept [as we do] the testimony of men
    [if we are willing to take human authority], the testimony of God
    is greater (of stronger authority), for this is the testimony of God,
    even the witness which He has borne regarding His Son.


       
          
Revelation 21:23 (AMP)
             And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to give light to it,
             for the splendor and radiance (glory) of God illuminate it,
             and the Lamb is its lamp.


 
   Jesus Christ is the Lord of miracles!
    [Note: The first miracle is a demonstration of Jesus respecting
    His mother in fulfillment of the "Law of Moral Conduct."
    These Laws were given to Moses on Mount Sinai to guide
    God's chosen people. {the 5th of the "Ten Commandments"
     ...honor your mother and your father}.

     The fact that the Cana gala wedding affair was out of wine
    was not a problem for which Jesus had responsibility.
    He and His disciples were invited guests. not as workers. 
    As instructed by His mother, Jesus supplied New Wine!
    He converted Water into Wine: The Very BEST of all the wines!
    Today, we are privileged to drink of the spiritual Wine of Great Joy!


                  
 

  

      

   
You can literally get "drunk" in the spirit as He pours out His Wine {DIVINE Joy]
    within your whole mind, body and soul!  It is NOT the
sweet [intoxicating] wine
    of the wineries of France, Italy or California in which one can become Spiritually Drunk,
    but it is the Holy Wine of Heaven, a manifestation of the Holy Spirit within the redeem!
    Acts 2:12-16 (AMP)
    12 And all were beside themselves with amazement
    and were puzzled and bewildered, saying one to another,
    What can this mean?
    13 But others made a joke of it and derisively said,
    They are simply drunk and full of sweet [intoxicating] wine.
    14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them:
    You Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem,
    let this be [explained] to you so that you will know and understand;
    listen closely to what I have to say.
    15 For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is [only]
    the third hour (about 9:00 a.m.) of the day;
    16 But [instead] this is [the beginning of] what was spoken
    through the prophet Joel: [Joel 2:28-32].


    
======================================
  

    Join us as we feast of the Bread of Life {the Word}
    and drink of the Well of Divine Water {the Wine of the Spirit}!

              

 

Holy Spirit serves Living Water
from "the source" that never runs dry...

Father God is the Source of all things!

Revelation 21:23 (AMP)
    And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to give light to it,
    for the splendor and radiance (glory) of God illuminate it, and the Lamb is its lamp.

    Revelation 22:1 (AMP)
    Then he showed me the river whose waters give life,
    sparkling like crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb.


    Jesus is the Lamb, His Begotten Son! 
    He was manifest in the Father, Sent to earth to Proclaim and Establish
    the Kingdom of God in the Law of the Spirit... God's New Covenant with mankind.
    Why?
    Adam fell from Grace by an act of Rebellion against God's command:
    "Do Not eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil." 
    Jesus was Sent to fulfill the Divine Plan of being the way for mankind's Redemption
    back to the Father.

    NOW the River of Living Water flows from our inner most being!
    How?
    Today, [NOW] the Godhead bodily dwells within the redeemed of the Lord...
    Who are the Redeemed?
    Answer: those who
believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ
    and are studying and obeying the commands of the LIGHT!
    H
e is the LIGHT!
    Light of Truth!
    Light of Life!
    Light of the Spirit!

    To those who are hearing the Voice of God the Holy Spirit,
    "see" into the spirit realm as He represents (re-presents) the Lord Jesus:
     John 7:38 (AMP)
     38 He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts
     in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said,
     From his innermost being shall flow [continuously]
     springs and rivers of living water.


=================================================     

  
The Way, Truth and the Life...
 
                                
  Psalm 2:12 New International Version
  Kiss his son, or he will be angry
  and your way will lead to your destruction,
  for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
  Blessed are all who take refuge in him.


   

    Asking for forgiveness for one's acts of rebellion (sin) against God
    (through Christ the sacrificial Lamb of God)
    is the Gateway to entering a Peace Treaty with Him... 
    A heart hardened to self gratification, pride and rebellion
    closes the door to reconciliation and the blessings of the
    Kingdom of Light! A rejection of the "free" Gift of Salvation
    offered through the Cross of Crucifixion of Jesus Christ,
    keeps the door of direct influence and control of the prince
    of darkness (satan) open. It is the devil and his demons
    (fallen angels) who rule the demonic and
perverted
    activities among human beings.

    The Lord Jesus said,
    Luke 12:51 (AMP)
    Do you suppose that I have come to give peace upon earth?
    No, I say to you, but rather division;

    Psalm 2:12... God's command: "Kiss the Son"
    Jesus came to give Peace to those Who willfully seek the Father
    and His Kingdom of Righteousness! He came for those who
    choose to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit!
    Note: Holy Spirit is God! He is Holy!
    (the 3rd Person of the Godhead), not a 3rd place god,
    not an it, not a concept, not a thing, not an inference,
    not a feeling, not a shake or tingle, not an event, not an enemy,
    not to be locked out of churches, not to be labeled as the devil...


    Jesus said:
    John 14:27 (AMP)
    Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. 
    Not
as the world gives do I give to you.
    Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
    [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed;
    and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated
    and cowardly and unsettled.]

    To whom does He give peace?
    Answer: To those whom the apostolic forerunner,
    the Son of God, was sent from Heaven and for whom
    he died to save out of the clutches of a prideful, rebellious mind influenced
    by the works of the devil, his demonic imps, and the 'carnal nature' of man
    search and practicing the ways of this world:

    Look squarely at the Peace of God that He promises!
    1 Peter 1:2
    Who were chosen and foreknown by God the Father
    and consecrated (sanctified, made holy) by the Spirit to be
    obedient to Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and to be sprinkled
    with [His] blood:
    May grace (spiritual blessing) and peace be given you
    in increasing abundance [that spiritual peace to be realized
    in and through Christ, freedom from fears, agitating passions,
    and moral conflicts].

    MAKING PEACE WITH GOD RESULTS IN RECEIVING THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE!
    When we have the promise and the assurances that God
    has given us fully settled in our heart, soul and spirit...
    Nothing can cause us to fear what this time on earth presents!
    We Know that we know we are sons (non-gender), that we are
    Christ's Body, and as such we are His Bride consummated
    as His Help Mate while we are on the earth!

      

   
He is here to equip those who pant after a life of communion
    with Father God. He empowered Jesus in the Resurrection
    to Life Eternal... On the 40th day of demonstrating the Kingdom
    after the Resurrection,
The Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven.
    In the Ascension, He gave divine functional men (non-gender)
    to His Body (spiritual Israel, the New Testament church).
    These functions were given to equip His followers to see,
    hear and demonstrate the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. 
    In so doing revealing the Divine Presence (anointing),
    the Person of the Holy Ghost!

    It is the anointing (the Presence) that empowers the spirit
    mind of the flesh and blood man to be translated into the
    Kingdom of Righteousness with heart and mind yielded to
    God's marvelous Light! This anointing empowers us to carry
    the enlightenment and illumination for understanding and
    demonstrating...

         the Light of Truth,
        
the Light of Life and
        
the Light of the Holy Spirit!

   
1 Peter 2:9 (AMP)
    9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated
    nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may
    set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him
    Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.


    These scriptural attributes of 1 Peter 2:9 were actualized
    after Christ's death on the Cross, and after the Resurrection
preparing His "called out ones" for service before the Ascension!
For forty days after the resurrection, He worked in demonstrating the Kingdom,
perfecting His "apostolos"... the fellowship of His forerunners who would spread
the Gospel in apostolic power in the then known world!

Acts 1:1-3 (NKJV)
1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus
began both to do and teach,
2 until the day in which He was taken up,
after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments
to the apostles whom He had chosen,
3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering
by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days
and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

As we read and study (meditate) within the Word of God,
it is imperative that we properly keep distinction between the ministry
of Christ Jesus before the Cross, Resurrection and Ascension and that
of the Day of Pentecost.
This day, over 2000 years ago, the Promised Holy Ghost was sent
as an out pouring as wind and tongues of fire to empower
the 120 disciples waiting as instructed for Christ's return!
Of these individuals, Peter declares that the witness of Jesus
installed as King at the right hand of Father God was the strange
supernatural demonstration of what was heard and seen
as drunkenness!
Peter and Paul both proclaimed that Father anointed and
rewarded Christ as King and Lord inaugurating Him with
"all" power and authority to rule and reign.
John 10:30 (AMP)
I and the Father are One.
[Note: They are One in Will, Plan and Purpose>
NOT One as Persons. >see the work of The Blessed Holy Trinity]

John 17:11
And [now] I am no more in the world, but these are [still]
in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father,
keep in Your Name [in the knowledge of Yourself]
those whom You have given Me, that they may be one
as We [are one].

John 17:21
That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me
and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the
world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.


  

Paul is quicken [made aware and intensively alive] to the Light
of the Holy Spirit as he pens the following:
Romans 14:17
[After all] the kingdom of God is not a matter of [getting the]
food and drink [one likes], but instead it is righteousness
(that state which makes a person acceptable to God)
and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit further nails the work of the devil through
Timothy, a brother and beneficiary of Paul's apostleship
whom Paul affectionately addresses as his son.
In different growth assignments, Paul functioned
in Holy Ghost's calling and anointing as a teacher, with prophetic gifting,
and in missions evangelizing. His appointments
serving as a shepherd to a assembly of believers were limited.
He mostly worked in harmony with an apostolic-prophetic gifted
team directing their activities or working in fellowship with another brother
in the Lord also administering in the anointing of
the ascension-gifts.

Ephesians 4:4,7-13 (AMP)
4 [There is] one body and one Spirit—
just as there is also one hope [that belongs] to the calling
you received—
7 Yet grace (God’s unmerited favor) was given to each of us individually
[not indiscriminately, but in different ways]
in proportion to the measure of Christ’s [rich and bounteous] gift.
8 Therefore it is said, When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive
[He led a train of vanquished foes] and He bestowed gifts
on men.
9 [But He ascended?]
Now what can this, He ascended, mean but that He had
previously descended from [the heights of] heaven
into [the depths], the lower parts of the earth?
10 He Who descended is the [very] same as He Who also
has ascended high above all the heavens,
that He [His presence] might fill all things
(the whole universe, from the lowest to the highest).
11 And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed
and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers),
some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders),
some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries),
some pastors (shepherds of His flock)
and teachers.


           


Light of Truth:
God is the same Past, Today [NOW], and in the Future!

His Divine Plan is the foundation building of the Kingdom
for all ages.
Let's examine the [PAST] activity given to Adam
in regard to the creation as to whether God focuses
on Titles or Names.
Genesis 2:19-20 (AMP)
19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every
[wild] beast and living creature of the field and every bird
of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he
would call them; and whatever Adam called every living
creature, that was its name.
20(a) And Adam gave names to all the livestock and to
the birds of the air and to every [wild] beast of the field;

God exalts Names! He appoints to a function of service.
It is men who seek Titles to esteem themselves to lofty positions
of power, and higher social recognition than others.
"See" what God gave Adam as power and authority to do!
He was given Dominion Power and Authority!
Genesis 1:28 (AMP)
And God blessed them and said to them,
Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it
[using all its vast resources in the service of God and man];
and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,
and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.
AND>>>
Genesis 2:15 (AMP)
And the Lord God took the man and put him in the
Garden of Eden to tend and guard and keep it.

Jesus was "seen" with "All" Dominion Power and Authority in
the "shadow" of the Old Covenant through David.
Jesus as the Christ is not yet revealed for He has not as yet
been sent to the earth as a "flesh and blood" man!
Psalm 8:6 (AMP)
You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet:

 
Titles are worn as "Badges... being of a status of elite standing."
Titles influence haughtiness as to "who they are" rather than the classification
of their work endeavor as to who they serve.
DOCTOR, PASTOR, GOVERNOR, BISHOP, APOSTLE...
are a few sought after examples. These are legalistic,
titles for recognition of "attainment" rather than references for
functioning entity identification.
 
As for JESUS, Father God is focused on Him as Son!

Master, Teacher (Rabbi), Apostle, Prophet, King, High Priest...
are all Divine functions of service.
Jesus never penned Himself during His earthly ministry or made reference
to Himself other than the Son of God.  The Lamb of God and other honorary
expressions were attributed to Christ as proclaimed by
the prophets of the Old Testament and by His friends and 
John the Baptist served as a prophet in the time of the Old Ruling
church of Sadducees and Pharisees.
John 1:29 (NKJV)
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him,and said,
“Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
[ Note two things here:  1.  It is John who proclaims the distinction
of Lamb of God.  2. Many doctrines are taught about
"coming to Jesus."  Individuals are challenged to confess their 'sins"
to receive Salvation wherein the requirement to enter in to God's Peace
and Kingdom blessings is to be reconciled to God by repenting of the Adamic SIN
of "Rebellion."
A laundry list of sinful activities is not the prerequest to peace with Him as some teach.
A change of heart to one of humility with the desire to follow the teachings
and commands of the Lord Jesus are rightful actions
for right standing and transformation into His marvelous Light!
 
Look at the Lord Jesus's response to Pontius Pilate, Governing Roman Prefect of Judea.
[WHAT A TITLE!]
Matthew 27:11 (NKJV)
Now Jesus stood before the governor.
And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King
of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.”
He did Not say.. Why Yes! I am the King of all men as well
as the Jews.  His response was strong yet humble!

Where in His earthly mission does He promote himself as King
or as any title of superiority other than the "Son of God"?
His practice was to DO the Works for which He was Sent...
to proclaim and demonstrate the soon coming Kingdom of God
and to destroy the works of the devil.
Always, He subjected Himself to Father God and to serving others!

Note:  As we study the "pattern of the Son" we discover
that God the Father Did Not give Jesus a title,
but rather GAVE HIM A NAME!
A name is given to recognize an entity or person.
There is NO Greater Name than His! Recognition and honor
of His Name denotes the following responses:

Philippians 2:9-12 (NKJV)
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him
the name which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those
under the earth,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Revelation 19:12 (NKJV)
12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns.
He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

The Holy Ghost penned [apostles; special messengers] with
"God-given names." At their calling and appointment to His
apostolic team of 12, Jesus changed several of their names!
If you are diligent to observe His actions in selecting His Team
of forerunners (apostles) who formed a communion of fellowship
with Jesus... [later after the Day of Pentecost they are observed
as the "fellowship of apostles" {the apostolus}].
You will find their changed names denote their character and personalities.
Here is an example:
Mark 3:17 (AMP)
James son of Zebedee and John the brother of James,
and He surnamed them Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder;

Jesus changed Simon to Cephas...
translated Peter (petra, little rock, stone)!
John 1:42 (AMP)
42 Andrew then led (brought) Simon to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon son of John.
You shall be called Cephas—which translated is Peter [Stone].

Can you "see" the humor the Lord displayed?
He had a divine purpose for the changing of names.
Peter would later be chastised for lack of discernment
and then would be exonerated as one who saw the Divine
Spiritual Plan of God: the revelation of Jesus as the Christ!
The revelation is the Rock of mankind's salvation and
the Cornerstone of understanding for the building up of the
Body of Christ, the instrumentality the church, for expanding
the Kingdom "as the waters cover the sea!"
That building process is the Apostolic-Prophetic Keys!
Acts 4:11 (AMP)
11 This [Jesus] is the Stone which was despised and rejected
by you, the builders, but which has become the Head of the corner [the Cornerstone].
Ephesians 2:17-20 (AMP)
17 And He came and preached the glad tidings of peace to you
who were afar off and [peace] to those who were near.
18 For it is through Him that we both [whether far off or near]
now have an introduction (access) by one [Holy] Spirit to the
Father [so that we are able to approach Him].
19 Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens,
excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with
the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and
set apart for Himself); and you belong to God’s [own] household.
20 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets
with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone.

Jesus is the Head of the Body!
The Head is the cornerstone of the gospel and all that God
has set in place as His Plan for man and expansion of the Knowledge of God
and the Glory of God to fill the earth!
Jesus is the Rock of our salvation.  He is immovable from
His appointment to the right hand of the Father which represents
the position of all power and authority in all the universe,
in all the churches founded upon Him as the Son of God!
Revelation 19:10 (AMP)
For the substance (essence) of the truth
revealed by Jesus
is the spirit of all prophecy
[the vital breath, the inspiration
of all inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine
will and purpose, including both mine and yours].


    Ephesians 4:11 Gifts
    Jesus demonstrated (5 Divine Ministry Gifts).
    In His Ascension He gave them to His Body.
    The Gifts are FUNCTIONING appointments for Edification of the Body.
    Christ Did NOT assign Titles of Offices to anyone.
    He assigned "office" (or "placement") in Fellowship with God
    and the "apostolate."
    This "office" encompasses those who are called into apostolic-prophetic
    ministry built upon Christ... to serve the Body.    


   
   
See "Apostolic Prophetic Church"
   
His commission to the Eye-witness Twelve (Chosen) Forerunners
    (the called out ones) was "GO Forth." 
    Like wise the same commission is appointed to the Ascension Ministries.
    In Fellowships seeking His Plan, Will and Ways, the Five Ascension Gifts
    are definable and observable working through individuals of the Body!

    We are built up and equipped by the apostolic-prophetic gifts to the Body for the
    breath of God to inspire the preaching and teaching of the divine will and purpose
    of God! 

    An apostle functions as a front runner, a special messenger, a visionary
    that forges into new missions. 
    A prophet functions as an
inspired preacher decreeing the WORD of LORD and
    demonstrating the gifts of the Spirit.
    He also is an expounder (teacher of the inspired Word of God).
    Any individual called and separated to Ascension Gift ministry is capable of functioning
    in all Five of them.  Jesus was a whole person... flesh, blood, soul and spirit.  He was not
    severed into five parts. As circumstance and occasion required, He ministered in the
    appropriate ministry.  Paul presents this Truth in  

       
           
Revelation 21:23 (AMP)   
            The Temple is filled with Diety
            And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to give light to it,
            for the splendor and radiance (glory) of God illuminate it,
            and the Lamb is its lamp.

 
    
Is Jesus Christ your Heavenly Brother and friend filled with Joy unspeakable!
     Or is He so sacred He cannot be approached
     as some who keep Him nailed to the Cross?
     Yes, He is anointed with Divine Power and Authority,
     but is He your God with Whom you can fellowship as well
     as honor and worship? He is a very compassionate Person.
     He gave us the Holy Ghost with Whom we can commune Who
     also intercedes on our behalf!

    Do you know Him?
    Really know Him?
    Or has your training been converted by
    the " Pharisees of traditional and organizational religion?"

          

Do you have fun relating with the Holy Ghost?
Remember! The Trinity is One in Will, Plan and Purpose!
Everyone receiving Christ fully into their heart, mind and
soul receives a measure of the Holy Spirit! We each must have
our own personal relationship and fellowship with Father God
and with the Son of God, Jesus...
How? Answer: through the WORD and the SPIRIT!

As we open the Bible of our choice, we are 'face to face'
with the Lord Jesus.  As we read and reflect upon the passages
the Holy Ghost living inside us begins to enlighten, illuminate
and release revelation to our spirit mind.
Often you can see the Light of the enlightenment in your
"spiritual eye! These encounters are not by chance!
They usually lead to our taking an action, for He is an energizer
as He touches us in any manner and in any measure!
Many times His Presence can literally be felt!

There is MORE of Him to experience! The Joy of the Lord is in His Anointing!
Jesus is the "Anointed One."
The anointing is a Person not a thing, He is the Holy Spirit.
How is the anointing released through us?
It is released by our yielding to the Holy Spirit
as He transmits His graces to us.
Is the anointing different from the Glory?
Yes!
The anointing is the Holy Spirit Manifesting His graces through us!
The Glory is the Presence of the Holy Spirit electrifying and saturating
the atmosphere to those within its realm.
In some instances, it is the angelic realm
touching and connecting with us to release the Glory
of their presence.

We can see that Jude had personal experience with the power
[force] of Joy in the Holy Ghost!  It is a "force" because when
released within you it is nearly unstoppable!
The laughter that ensues is so ecstatic it fully overtakes
your body!  No natural laughter compares with Holy Ghost
laughter! We will later write deeply and extensively into this manifestation
of the Spirit and post it in the inner chamber
of Virtual City of Lights.
Jude 1:24-25 Bible (AMP)
24 Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling
or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished
(blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory
in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]—
 
NOW Back to:

            

The eye-witness individuals (apostles) did not address each
other as APOSTLE or PASTOR, or PROPHET or EVANGELIST
or TEACHER or BISHOP such and such.
They DID NOT "wear" TITLES!
Also, Neither did those added to the "fellowship of apostles"
of the New Covenant  They addressed and recognized each
other as a "brother." They worked in their calling and were
anointed with Christ's ascension "gifts" to equip the Body
and worked dispensing and demonstrating the Gifts
of the Holy Spirit. The anointing of the Holy Ghost for
empowerment and evidence of His transference is confirmed
by the laying on of hands usually resulting in speaking
in unknown tongues.
Acts 8:17 (AMP)
Then [the apostles] laid their hands on them one by one,
and they received the Holy Spirit.
They had the Holy Ghost laughter experience like the 120
in the upper room on Pentecost! Remember that the crowd
gathered to celebrate the Feast accused them of being
drunk at 9:00 AM in the morning!
[Pentecost commemorates God giving the Ten Commandments
at Mount Sinai fifty days after the Exodus.
It is the Feast of Weeks.

Again we see Jude sharing His experience and excitement
in His relationship with Holy Ghost!
Jude 1:20 (AMP)
20 But you, beloved, build yourselves up
[founded] on your most holy faith
[make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher],
praying in the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 1  (AMP)
1 Paul, an apostle (a special messenger) of Christ Jesus
by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother,
 
1 Corinthians 12:27 (AMP)
27 Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body and [individually]
you are members of it, each part severally and distinct
[each with his own place and function].

Paul, called to be an apostle to the Gentiles addresses himself
as "an apostle" and as an "ambassador" [for the cause] of Christ.
An ambassador is called and sent on special missions to others
to Represent and Re-present the laws and edicts sent on behalf
of their native nation's government.

2 Corinthians 5:20 (AMP)
20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal
as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives]
beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor
[now offered you] and be reconciled to God.

1 Peter 2:9 (AMP)
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated
nation, [God’s] own [a]purchased, special people, that you may
set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him
Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.


      

Let us bring all to the conformity of Christ.
2 Timothy 3:16 (AMP)
16 Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration)
and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin,
for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and]
for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity
to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action),

The Divine apostolic-prophetic Call upon Heart of God
Ministries International is to publish the WORD of God
through inspired writing and by audio and video presentation
to demonstrate the ways God the Holy Spirit [Holy Ghost]
manifests and releases His Presence... in the Here and NOW!

Before His Crucifixion, Jesus, Son of God, proclaimed
"the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."  Within 50 Days of His Resurrection,
the Kingdom was empowered in Full Measure!
Therefore, The Kingdom of Christ is ALIVE! NOW!...
It is released with empowerment as it is proclaimed
by those who love and honor God by obeying His Commands.

[Note: There are 1,343 references to >NOW<
            in the King James Version  Bible (KJV)]

The Kingdom of God was Divinely empowered in followers
of the Lord Jesus on the Day of Pentecost...over 2000 years ago!
The Day of Pentecost was the inauguration of Messiah's Day,
the Day of His enthronement...
the initiation of the New Covenant...
the birth of the Church Age...
the millennial reign on the eternal throne of David!
 
Only by the inspiration of Holy Spirit is Truth, Life and the Spirit
of the Kingdom of Heaven[of God...of Christ] made known to mankind.
Therefore, we must fully receive the works of God
the Holy Trinity in FAITH and earnestly desire ALL
that is provided...
[a]. before the world was framed
[b]. in the Creation!
Hebrews 11:3 (AMP)
3 By faith we understand that the worlds [during the
successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order,
and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God,
so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible.


      

We must fully believe that God is Who He declares He Is!
Both the Old Covenant and the New Covenant witness
that God is the Great "I AM"!

2 Chronicles 2:5 (AMP) 
The house which I am to build is great,
for our God is greater than all gods

Exodus 3:14-15 (AMP)
14 And God said to Moses, I Am Who I Am and What I Am,
and I Will Be What I Will Be; and He said,
You shall say this to the Israelites:
I Am has sent me to you!
15 God said also to Moses,
This shall you say to the Israelites: The Lord, the God
of your fathers, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob,
has sent me to you!
This is My name forever, and by this name
I am to be remembered to all generations.

Matthew 14:26-27 (AMP)
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea,
they were terrified and said, It is a ghost!
And they screamed out with fright.
27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage!
I Am!  Stop being afraid!

John 6:48
I am the Bread of Life [that gives life—the Living Bread].
John 6:51
I [Myself] am this Living Bread that came down from heaven.
If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever;
and also the Bread that I shall give for the life of the world
is My flesh (body).

Today, Living in "Messiah's Day" we are the "house",
"the temple" of God eternally built up in Christ's image.
The Perfect Man is Jesus [the Head and His spiritual Body].
Ephesians 4:12-13 (AMP)
12 His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping
of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do]
the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body
(the church),
13 [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith
and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge
of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood
(the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the
standard height of Christ’s own perfection),
the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ
and the completeness found in Him..

Jesus declared we would do Greater Things because
(NOW) Today, He is seated on the promised throne of David
("at the right hand of the Father" is the seated place of all
power and authority).  As King, Jesus Christ, is ruling with
all power and authority... He has Dominion eternally in the earth.
Read the record concerning God's Plan for mankind to walk in authority and dominion.
[Note: Look at the "pattern,"
God made man...  in image, and likeness. Jesus in ONE with the Father and
the Spiritual Body of Christ is filled with God the Holy Ghost...
"the pattern of the Son"!
 
Genesis 1:26 (AMP)
God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind
in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority
over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all
of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.

Genesis 1:28
And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply,
and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources
in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish
of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature
that moves upon the earth.
God blessed Noah in the same manner as He did Adam and Eve
and  then added another promise sustained fully by His WORD
(His power and authority):
Genesis 8:22
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night
shall not cease.

{NoteThe : "Seed," seed, seeds, seedtime and harvest all have
physical and spiritual applications to God's provisions
for mankind.}

           
     

E Divine power administrated by the Holy Ghost was sent
     (Day of Pentecost) to anoint believers by His Presence
     and live (abide) in each part (member) of Christ's Spiritual Body.
     Father God is the Anointer, Holy Spirit manifesting His
     Presence is the Anointing and Jesus is the Anointed One.
     He is the Head and the instrumentality of the church is His Body.
     Spiritually, we are symbolically and operationally an "anointed one"
     in the earth!  Christ has made us One with Him!

Colossians 2:8-10 (AMP)
8 See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves
captive by his so-called philosophy and
intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense),
following human tradition (men’s ideas of the material rather
than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary
and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of]
Christ (the Messiah).
9 For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues
to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature].
10 And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness
of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—
Father, Son and Holy Spirit—
and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule
and authority [of every angelic principality and power].

God has set His divine order in the Church just as
He set divine order in the construction of the tabernacles
of Moses, David and the Temple of Solomon.
There is a Divine pattern that is seen in each:
the "pattern of the Son" in the building and perfecting
of the "temple"!
===================================
Father God rewards those who diligently seek Him!
Mark 12:30 (AMP)
And you shall love the Lord your God
out of and with your whole heart and
out of and with all your soul (your life)
and out of and with all your mind
(with your faculty of thought and
your moral understanding) and
out of and with all your strength.
This is the first
            and principal commandment.
 
We receive and dispense Christ's nature that we may
actualize His "patterns" which is the Image of God and
reflect our responsibility to God and to others.
It is in this responsibility that Heart of God Ministries Intll
and those who by covenant relationship endeavor to share
the mysteries of His teachings with those who desire deeper knowledge
and understanding of Christ's Kingdom that
abides in our spirit and soul.

Psalm 119:130 (AMP)
The entrance and unfolding of
Your words give light;
their unfolding gives understanding
(discernment and comprehension) to the simple.

How could this be?

You are invited to continue to LABOR with us as we dig deeply
into the wonderful will and ways of Almighty God.
 
Release the greater power of the Kingdom of Heaven
into your life, Today! As we progress in the Rich Treasury
of God displayed in this Virtual City of Lights digital format,
we adhere to the instructional principles of learning...
REPETITION... a command of the Lord:
Psalm 1:1-2 (AMP)
1 Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable)
is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the
ungodly [following their advice,their plans and purposes],
nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where
sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful
[and the mockers] gather.
2 But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord,
and on His law (the precepts, the instructions,
the teachings of God) he habitually meditates
(ponders and studies) by day and by night
 
His Kingdom is not postponed for a future rule as
dispensationist, legalist, traditionalist and futurist teach.
His Kingdom Rule is NOW...by the Law of the Spirit
to those who walk and abide in Christ...
doing the will of the Father.

HGMI writers hunger and search for Truth, Life and
Holy Spirit's interpretation of the Holy Writ...pointing to NOW.  
How?
We subscribe to the Living Word as given through:
{the Law of the Spirit: Romans Chapter 8}
He speaks in a tender, affectionate manner as
He awakens spirit focused minds through many ways.
Some are through images of our regenerated
spiritual eye, through visions, dreams, spiritual
encounters, prophetic music, enlightenment,
illumination and revelation as we fellowship with Him
to perfect us in Godly wisdom, knowledge and
understanding of the fuller life of the
"patterns of the Son, Jesus Christ."
The WORD and Spirit of God in bringing all things to
conform with the Lord Jesus is the RULE to which
HGMI is committed and submitted.
 
John 16:7-15 (AMP)
7 However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when
I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous)
for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter
(Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby)
will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away,
I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you].
8 And when He comes, He will convict and convince the
world and bring demonstration to it about sin and about righteousness
(uprightness of heart and right standing
with God) and about judgment:
9 About sin, because they do not believe in Me
[trust in, rely on, and adhere to Me];
10 About righteousness (uprightness of heart and right standing
with God), because I go to My Father,
and you will see Me no longer;
11 About judgment, because the ruler (evil genius, prince)
of this world [Satan] is judged and condemned and
sentence already is passed upon him.
12 I have still many things to say to you, but you are not
able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp
them now.
13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth
(the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you
into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).
For He will not speak His own message
[on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever
He hears [from the Father;
He will give the message that has been given to Him],
and He will announce and declare to you the things
that are to come [that will happen in the future].
14 He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take
of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal
(declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.
15 Everything that the Father has is Mine.
That is what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit]
will take the things that are Mine and will reveal
(declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. 

Is the Lord JESUS the Captain of Your Ship?
If not, Please take a moment to understand...WHY
you should Ask Him to open the Gospel to you...
Answer> that you might personally know Him
empowered to walk in His KNOWLEDGE, GLORY and LOVE!
The Holy Bible... the Living Word... records:
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those
who are perishing, but to us who are being saved
it is the power of God.
– 1 Cor.1:18

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to his mercy he saved us, ..."
                                                              - Titus 3:5
Father God is able and willing to forgive your sins,
cleanse you and give you a fresh new start in life...
ask Him for His Mercy through Jesus Christ, His Son,
NOW... Today!

YES, it is up to each individual to open the door
of their heart for God to enter!
Father God has offered His very Best!
His Peace Treaty is sealed in the work of the
Cross of His Son!
Each individual's part is to allow the WORD
and the Holy Spirit do the work of transformation
in their life: Right NOW... opening to the LIGHT
of the Holy Spirit to shine brightly (enlighten,
illuminate and give revelation {wisdom, knowledge
and understanding} to their spirit and mind}.

                    
=============================================

What do we know of the Revelation of Christ's Light?
► Jesus Christ is the Light to the world!
► Light dwells with Him!
John the Beloved, reveals that Jesus came as the
True Light...the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light...
that illuminates every person who receives Him in spirit
and truth as the Son of God.
He first records the attribute of the Light of Christ
before disclosing the work of John the Baptist sent
to prepare Israel for the coming of the Messiah (deliverer
and restorer of the Kingdom of their nation which was
under suppression by the Roman dynasty).
John the Baptist proclaims the Lord Jesus as the Lamb
of God.  He announces that he himself "as one crying in
the wilderness", that he was sent as a witness to baptize
with water (a baptism of repentance for sins).

John the Baptist declares that the one coming after him,
(God's prophet like Moses) would baptize with the
Holy Ghost and fire.  John the beloved was an eye-witness
to these things.  Through His testimony, the Book of John
of the Synoptic Gospel was penned {he is one of Christ's
called out> appointed> "sent-one" forerunners!}
John, also penned the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and
the letters of John 1, John 2 and John 3.

Through Holy Ghost inspired men, the writings of the
Living WORD,  we are privileged to see full into the
Face and Grace of the glorious Light of Jesus Christ!
[Note: (Knowing the Torah/Pentateuch...first 5 books
of the Old Testament) while being pursued by King Saul,
(who is determined to kill him), David seeks the Lord
God Jehovah for a face to face encounter.
He asks for the Light of God... Truth, Life, and Presence
(Spirit) to transcend his mind!
Let us yield to His Presence to do the same!
Psalms 13:3a (AMP)
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
lighten the eyes [of my faith to behold Your face
in the pitchlike darkness,

Let's cherish the LIGHT of this experience of David's!
May our hearts pant for God as David demonstrates:

Psalm 13 Amplified Bible (AMP)
(Note: David exemplifies the heart which pants for God!)
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 How long will You forget me, O Lord?
Forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long must I lay up cares within me
and have sorrow in my heart day after day?
How long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?
3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
lighten the eyes [of my faith to behold Your face
in the pitchlike darkness],
lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed over him,
and those that trouble me rejoice when I am shaken.
5 But I have trusted, leaned on, and been confident
in Your mercy and loving-kindness;
my heart shall rejoice and be in high spirits
in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord,
because He has dealt bountifully with me...

Psalm 17:15
As for me,
I will continue beholding Your face in righteousness
(rightness, justice, and right standing with You);
I shall be fully satisfied, when I awake [to find myself]
beholding Your form [and having sweet communion
with You].

Can you SEE (by the Word and the Spirit) the declaration
of the Kingdom of God is NOW, Today?

David fed his soul and spirit as he was hungry
for close fellowship with God and declares the
foundations... the principles of Christ's
Eternal Kingdom. At the Resurrection, in the Ascension,
on the Enthronement and by the Outpouring of the
Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost,
God's Kingdom was extended from heaven to Earth!
Jesus proclaimed " the Kingdom is at hand"
{before the work of the Cross of Crucifixion}:
The Kingdom is established in the Resurrection!
Peter and Paul preach the Kingdom is NOW! Today!
[Peter in Acts 2:14-36 and Paul Acts 13:16-49]
Jesus is seated on the promised eternal throne
of David ruling in His eternal Reign! He is the WORD
manifest as the Light of His Kingdom to all mankind!
 
The Lord's disciples declare and demonstrate it!
(Past, NOW and future!)

The Holy Ghost shines LIGHT into Paul's spirit mind
to Illuminate, enlighten and release revelation
(understanding) of "the pattern Son's" declaration
of the Kingdom of God as he pens the following:

Romans 14:17 Amplified Bible (AMP)
[After all] the kingdom of God is not a matter
of [getting the] food and drink [one likes], but instead
it is righteousness (that state which makes a person
acceptable to God) and [heart] peace and joy in the
Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13 (AMP)
13 May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and
peace in believing [through the experience of your faith]
that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and
be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

SEE!
(Be illuminated in understanding: the Kingdom is NOW!)
The inspired WORD of The Holy Spirit as He comes
upon ISAIAH confirms the prophetic declaration sung
by David to the Lord > in Psalm 13:3   

Isaiah 60:1-2  NKJV
Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the LORD will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.

Isaiah 60:1-2 is Old testament.
TODAY, in the Light of The Holy Ghost He abides
within us and arises out of and from within us!
The Kingdom is NOW!
He abides within the believer!
He manifests His Person of Glory upon us!
He manifests in many Extraordinary Ways!

We are seated in heavenly places with Christ,
His Light is our light!  In Him it is always shining!
May you be tenderly touched by Don Potter's
presentation and demonstration of
                     "I Have a Light!"
May you bask in it, meditate upon it and teach
the song to others, especially children and those
with a "child-like heart.'  It is a NOW Reality!
Luke 18:17  (AMP)
17 Truly I say to you, whoever does not accept and
receive and welcome the kingdom of God like a little child [does]
shall not in any way enter it [at all].

The Prophetic Voice Website presents God as the
Living and Eternal Triune God. 
 Father is God... Son is God... Holy Spirit is God
  Truth...  Life... and Spirit (Manifestation of God)

The Lord Jesus Christ WAS SENT to earth by the Father
God the SENDER to proclaim the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom was "at hand" (made ready) before His
death, burial, descent into hell, the resurrection
from the dead, the ascension to heaven and the
enthronement to His eternal Kingship.
All power and authority in heaven, on earth and
over hell belongs to Him!
 
The message of the Kingdom is absolutely essential
to the Church's success in its mission.
Leading to the Cross, the Lord Jesus declared
"the Kingdom is at hand."
Since  The Day of Pentecost,
Christ is ruling in Messiah's Day! TODAY!
(Book of Acts 2:1- 43)
He is the Eternal King!
The Kingdom of God is a Now Reality in the earth!

The Reality of the Scriptures is that the Kingdom Life
of Heaven is given to those who believe!
 
[Those who have been Translated out of the Darkness of
Adamic Sin - rebellion against the 1st Command of God]
Psalm 2:12
Kiss the Son [pay homage to Him in purity],
lest He be angry and you perish in the way,
for soon shall His wrath be kindled.
O blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are all those
who seek refuge and put their trust in Him!

Christ's provisions are rich and empower His followers
to a New Dimension of Life!
If you have Not as Yet fully responded to the Message of
the Cross and all that it represents, NOW, Today is the Day
of Salvation! Ask the Lord Jesus into your heart that you
may freely receive Father God's Peace Treaty and in a
twinkling of the eye be transformed into the Promise of
Eternal Life! NOW!Today!
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 (AMP)
51 Take notice! I tell you a mystery (a secret truth, an event decreed by the
hidden purpose or counsel of God).
We shall not all fall asleep [in death],
but we shall all be changed (transformed)
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [sound of
the] last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead
[in Christ] will be raised imperishable (free and immune from decay),
and we shall be changed (transformed).
[Note: this scripture is both a spiritual and physical reality
of the Kingdom. We will examine it bringing every thought
into conformity in Christ Jesus through additional scriptures.]
Mark 8:34-35 (AMP)
34 And Jesus called [to Him] the throng with His disciples
and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me,
let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and lose sight
of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and
[joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow
with Me [continually, cleaving steadfastly to Me].
35 For whoever wants to save his [higher, spiritual, eternal]
 life, will lose it [the lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth];
and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My sake and the
Gospel’s will save it
[his higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God].

This utterance of Jesus challenges all believers to authentic discipleship and
total commitment to himself through self-renunciation and acceptance of the
cross of suffering, even to the sacrifice of life itself.
Whoever wishes to save his life will lose it…yet will save it:
This is an expression of the ambivalence of life and its contrasting destiny!
Romans 6:8 (AMP)
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall
also live with Him,

Life seen as mere self-centered earthly existence and lived
in denial of Christ ends in destruction, but when lived in
loyalty in Christ's Light, despite earthly death, arrives at fullness of life.
God promises GREATER THINGS that
You shall do than the "things of the world" and its activities!
[Note: Mark 8:35> "For my sake and that of the gospel:"
Mark here, as at Mk 10:29 equates Jesus with the Gospel.]

The Bible declares that on the Day of Pentecost,
(50 days after the resurrection): THE TRUMPET SOUNDED!
The trumpet is the Voice and the Manifested Presence of the Holy Ghost!
He is the Sound, the Wind, the Fire, the Water,
the Rain, the Oil, the Anointing, Cloven Tongues, Paraclete, Dove, Dew, Rivers,
Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby, Teacher
and the Light of the Spirit
 
Acts 2:2-4  KJV
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven
as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house
where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like
as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began
to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance.
Acts 2:16-17  AMP
16 But [instead] this is [the beginning of] what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares,
that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind,

Romans 8:9-11  NKJV
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed
the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not
have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin,
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
He who raised Christ from the dead will
also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

THE PROMISES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
ARE YES AND AMEN... NOW!

1 Corinthians 6:19  AMP
19 Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary)
of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom
you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your
own,

Experience Christ's Kingdom Life today, NOW, on earth,
as you release your faith through actions and obedience
to the Word and the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit shines the Light of the Living Christ
through the Word of God and through His Presence,
abiding within and manifested through Christ's followers!
 Luke 17:21 NKJV
"For indeed, the Kingdom of God is within you."
                                          
The Kingdom of God is a NOW reality!
Live the Resurrected Light of Life... TODAY!

Jesus Christ is the Eternal Living King of all physical
and spiritual things.  He has given believers power and authority
of His Name and His Blood, Today!  
The key to the door of the Kingdom of Heaven is the
"Key of Faith."  All promises of God are activated by faith.
We receive by faith as we act on faith in Christ...
evidence and assurance follows.

John 16:23-24  NKJV  23 "And in that day you will ask
Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you
ask the Father in My name He will give you.
24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask,
and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Through Paul, the Lord Jesus declared His "pattern"
for a walk of full measure in depth, height, width and length
in His Love. He instructed that those who hunger and thirst
to follow Him:
 
Romans 8:38-39 (AMP)
38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure)
that neither death nor life, nor angels
nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening
nor things to come, nor powers,
39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation
will be able to separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 3:18 (AMP)
18 That you may have the power and be strong
to apprehend and grasp with all the saints
[God’s devoted people, the experience of that love]
what is the breadth and length and height and depth
[of it];

Father God has given Divine measure of the Revelation
of the Light of Jesus Christ through the portals of the
Web Pages of the City of Lights, the Prophetic Voice .pdf
messages, and  Kingdom Konnection Ministries hosted
by HGMI.

As you travel these portals, God wants each revelation
you receive from the quoted Word of God and by the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit to be a springboard for
seeing something New about Him!

To the "thirsty," Father God promises a life transformed
out of spiritual darkness into an eternal spiritual world
of His Son's governing Light while we live here on earth
in life eternal! 

There is a Heaven that is totally separate from earth
and all other "heavens."
It is the location of the promised eternal Throne of David
on which Jesus Christ bodily is seated and rules, today
and forevermore.   (see Acts 2:31- 36)
[note: Christ's body did not experience corruption (decay),
but, was raised from the dead as an eternal, immortal flesh
and bone body, not as a 'spirit'-'ghost' being.
The Gospel witnesses His Resurrection and 40 days interaction with
many people... during which He taught and demonstrated
the Kingdom through signs, wonders and miracles up to
and including the day of His Ascension.]
John 21:25 (AMP)
And there are also many other things which Jesus did.
If they should be all recorded one by one [in detail],
I suppose that even the world itself could not contain
(have room for) the books that would be written.

The power of the Kingdom of God is manifest as
spiritual Light within His people! God has not withheld
His Kingdom from believers but has given the rule of
Christ for those born anew ("born again") by the Spirit. 

In Job 38:19  {Amplified Bible}
The Lord Almighty is conversing with Job and asks
him the following:
19 Where is the way where light dwells?
And as for darkness, where is its abode,

In Daniel 2:20-22 {Amplified Bible}
Daniel is prepared to interpret a vision of king
Nebuchadnezzar and he begins with the following proclamations:
20 Blessed be the name of God forever and ever!
For wisdom and might are His!
21 He changes the times and the seasons;
He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom
to the wise and knowledge to those who have
understanding! [see Dan 4:35.]
22 He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows
what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him!
[see Job 15:8; Ps 25:14; Matt 6:6.]

There is only one way to enter the dynamic Kingdom
of The Living God...  Jesus is the only Savior of mankind.
He and He alone is the way to the truth, the life in the Spirit
and access to the throne of God. 
John 14:6 (NKJV Bible)
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.

There is no salvation apart from Jesus Christ.
The church founded upon Jesus, the Son of God, has no problem with
who the Lord Jesus is.  But the church does
have a major problem with where Jesus resides in Person.
We see the scriptures as the foundations of His Kingdom reign.
That reign is NOW and has been existing for over
2000 years!!
 
The Kingdom is within the believer and doer of the
Word of God! His Kingdom is an Eternal Kingdom!

Many doctrines are designed to rob Christians of a
personal relationship with the Person of the Holy Spirit.
Christ is neither on the earth nor does He bodily live
inside an individual's heart. God is Truth, Life and Spirit!
The Holy Spirit Re-presents the Lord Jesus On Earth.

The Lord Ascended!
He sat down upon His Eternal Throne at the right-hand
of the Father. David was promised that his son would
sit to on his throne. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The right hand is the position of power
and authority! The Lord Jesus rules all things!
NOW! TODAY!

Do you hear the sounding trumpet
                                 of the Holy Spirit's voice?
The church at large refuses to believe and ACT on the
reality that Jesus is in heaven with the Father.
They refuse to believe that the Holy Spirit in Person
has replaced Jesus on earth.
The Lord proclaims this truth of His words in John
chapters 14-16.
He announces to His disciples that He will soon return
to the Father, and then send the Holy Spirit to Replace
and Represent (re-present) Him and all that is of and
by Him.  [God is spirit and truth.]
John 16:13-16  AMP
13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes,
He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).
For He will not speak His own message [on His
own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from
the Father; He will give the message that has been given
to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the
 things that are to come [that will happen in the future].
14 He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon)
what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.
15 Everything that the Father has is Mine.
That is what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit] will
take the things that are Mine and will reveal (declare,
disclose, transmit) it to you.
16 In a little while you will no longer see Me, and again
after a short while you will see Me.
                               
Experience the Kingdom of God,
                             Today, in His very special way!

Christ's mission in the world is our commission.

In late 2009, the Holy Spirit began to direct
attention into deeper insights about "foundations."
He began to minister
 1. scriptures revealing the beginning of all things
 2. the patterns for restoration of the church.
 3. the work of the Holy Spirit and His Dynamic impact.

With God, Time is Eternal... Jesus has been resurrected for over 2000 years!
His work is published and spans eternity!
     
Hear Him trumpet His voice very clearly...
The Light of the Gospel through the administration
of the Lord and King, Jesus Christ, shines in a radiance
in ways not experienced by the mass populations of the
globe!  The universe in great glory displays the
magnitude of God's righteous judgments established
before the "foundations of the world!"

Onlookers have already seen the beginning of this
demonstration by the horrendous shaking of the earth’s
crust and the extreme changes in weather patterns
prevailing around the globe…These are but a Beginning!
 
As these forces are dynamically displayed, God has made
ready a supernatural demonstration of His Presence and
Power that at this "Hour" in History is shaking the nations
with His Grace as He reveals His Love, Light, Will and Ways
of Kingdom Life in Righteousness...

 There are "marked" signs" and "wonders" that

 His Light endures forever!
 
 "Enter" into the supernatural realm.
 "See" into the supernatural realm by the Spirit.
 "Experience" the demonstration of the supernatural

 (note: the moon turned to red [blood]
 in an eclipse in 2010 again demonstrating the imagery
 of the prophetic "word of knowledge" written by the
 prophet Joel.)
 
 (note: blood and fire and smoking vapor are "signs."
 Blood and fire and smoking vapor are physical and
 spiritual realities in the earth, Today.)
  Acts 2:16-21
 16 But [instead] this is [the beginning of] what was
  spoken through the prophet Joel:
  17 And it shall come to pass in the last days,
  God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all
  mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall
  prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and your
  young men shall see visions (divinely granted
  appearances),and your old men shall dream [divinely
  suggested] dreams.
  18 Yes, and on My menservants also and on My maid
  servants in those days I will pour out of My Spirit, and
  they shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels
  and predicting future events pertaining especially to
  God's kingdom].
  19 And I will show wonders in the sky above and signs
  on the earth beneath, blood and fire and smoking vapor;
  20 The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon
  into blood before the obvious day of the Lord comes--
  that great and notable and conspicuous and renowned
  [day].
  21 And it shall be that whoever shall call upon the name
  of the Lord [invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord--
  Christ] shall be saved.
  (note: "in the Last Days" were those that ushered in the
  Revelation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as King and Lord
  as witnessed and proclaimed [preached] by His fore-
  runners, His vanguards, (apostles) His eye-witness
  chosen ambassadors.

  This revelation was first preached to the Jews and then
  preached to the other nations.
  The apostolic act of "sending" the Holy Ghost was and
  is TODAY the continuing fulfillment of the promise of God
  to dwell in the midst of His people through the indwelling
  and the outward manifestation of God, manifest as the
  Divine Person of the Holy Spirit.
  Where "the Old" meets "the New" there is major conflict
  and warfare in the spirit realm.
  The Good News is that Light separates the "darkness."
  The "ways of the world" are not easy to give up.
  The "warfare" is a battle for the mind and soul.
   [See Ephesians Chapter 6]

  To be victorious one builds apostolic-prophetic
  knowledge, understanding and active involvement
  in the transformation process that spiritually reforms
  and conforms to the image of Christ Jesus.
  (King of Righteousness) Christ gave the church 'apostolic-
  prophetic functions' to mature it [perfect it].
  Ephesians 4:12-13  Amp
  12 His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping
  of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should
  do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's
  body (the church),
  13[That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the
  faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate]
  knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at
  really mature manhood (the completeness of personality
  which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's
  own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness
  of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.

   [Note: Here is a second scripture ("a witness"}...
   that Christ gave the church 'apostolic-prophetic
   functions' to perfect it]. 



 
  
Ephesians 2:19-22  AMP
   19 Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants,
   and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you
   now share citizenship with the saints (God's own people,
   consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong
   to God's [own] household.
   20 You are built upon the foundation [the work]
   of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself
   the chief Cornerstone.
   21 In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded)
   together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow,
   increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary
   dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence
   of the Lord].
   22 In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you
   yourselves also are being built up [into this structure]
   with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place)
   of God in (by, through) the Spirit

The Lord Jesus Christ gave two ordinances to the church:
1. The Table of the Lord also known today as Communion
(traditional) and Eucharist (orthodox) churches.
The Lord's Table of Bread and Wine of which the Bread
is the recognition and honoring of the Lord Jesus and
His broken body as the sacrificial Lamb of God...
the Wine which is symbolic of the Blood of Christ:
Blood is the Life Flow of the Kingdom empowered by the
Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of Life is the Wine, the Anointing Presence of
the Holy Ghost upon and within the Anointed One... NOW
(Christ's Body),
to effectually demonstrate the Coming of Kingdom of Heaven
as proclaimed by the Lord Jesus in His mission on earth.
2. Baptism
The third part of the Great Commission, "Baptizing them":
Water baptism is an ordinance given to the Church.
The Lord's Table of Bread and Wine is the other.
Neither provide Salvation.
