The
Light of Truth
in The Lord
Most of the
Church does
not know its
divine calling
for it has
locked the
doors
on the source
of divine
power; the
working
presence and
administrator
of spiritual
gifts...
the Holy
Ghost. ● Since
the Church has
lost its way,
and its power,
it also has
lost its
desire to be a
light
set over
against
darkness in
cities and
nations in
which it
stands to
reveal sin and
corruption. ● The
Church has
become as
Jonah was of
heart and mind
when God
called him to
go
to Nineveh and
preach
repentance.
He found a
shade under
which to while
away the
days rather
than Go Forth
in apostolic
power to
deliver the
divine message
of God
to the ruler
of their
world. ● The
Church has
lost its heart
to stand as a
beacon
revealing the
way of
righteousness
and to
draw the lost
and wandering
into the safe
waters of the
Holy
Spirit.
Shamelessly,
the 21st
century church
has lost its
distinctive
character, its
testimony
of the Light
of Truth, Life
and Spirit and
has lost its
influence in
this dark,
liberal
and corrupt
world. ●
The
Church has become steeped
in organizational programs
keeping the Body
out of the activation of
sharing the Gospel with
the world and into meeting
schedules and "commands"
originating in
pseudo-dominating
hierarchy of
administrative objectives!
WE INVITE YOU
TO DIG OUT THE
WELLS OF THE
"OLD DEBRIS"
OF ORTHODOX
AND
CONTEMPORARY
TEACHING WHICH
EXCLUDES THE
MAGNIFICENT
AND
GLORIOUS
PERSON OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT...
THE APOSTOLIC
SPIRIT OF GOD
IN
EARTH TODAY TO
ADMINISTRATE
THE ORDER OF
OUR LORD AND
KING JESUS
CHRIST: TO
BUILD HIS
CHURCH IN
DEMONSTRATION
AND WALK IN
THE FULL
MESSAGE OF THE
KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN!
Join us in the
digging, but
now, let us
freely take of
the water
(washing of
the Word,)
the
spirit
(demonstration
of His
Presence) and
the blood (the
Resurrection
Life in the
Kingdom
of Heaven on
earth).
May you be
encouraged to
begin to bask
in the Truth
of His Light.
We may
find
resistance to
the divinely
sent message
of Light for
it will not
support
the years of
traditional
preaching of
'the gospel."
Our desire is
to preach "THE
GOSPEL!"
Most ministers
and saints
have never
been taught
what John the
Baptist saw
when he
declared
'Prepare the
Way of the
Lord"
John
1:23
AMP He
said, I am the
voice of one
crying aloud
in the
wilderness
[the voice of
one shouting
in the
desert],
Prepare the
way of the
Lord
[level,
straighten
out, the path
of the Lord],
as the prophet
Isaiah said.
[Isa 40:3.]
John
1st proclaimed
the Lord Jesus
as the LIGHT
before he
proclaimed
him as
the "Lamb
of God!"
John
1:4-9
AMP
4
In Him was
Life, and the
Life was the
Light of men.
5
And the Light
shines on in
the darkness,
for the
darkness has
never
overpowered
it [put it out
or absorbed it
or
appropriated
it, and is
unreceptive to
it].
6
There came a
man sent from
God, whose
name was John.
[Mal 3:1.]
7
This man came
to witness,
that he might
testify of the
Light, that
all men might
believe
in it [adhere
to it, trust
it, and rely
upon it]
through him.
8
He was not the
Light himself,
but came that
he might bear
witness
regarding the
Light.
9
There it
was--the true
Light [was
then] coming
into the world
[the genuine,
perfect,
steadfast
Light] that
illumines
every person.
John
1:36 Amp
36 And he
looked at
Jesus as He
walked along,
and said,
Look!
There is the
Lamb of God!
The gift of
God through
salvation
through the
work of Jesus
Christ,
Crucified on
the
Cross on the
mount above
the city of
Jerusalem
depicts Him
central of
three...
labeled in
chastisement
as the the
"King of the
Jews"... yet,
crucified as a
man.
By testimony o
'eye witness
disciples'
He was “Son of
Man” the
virgin Mary's
son,
also "adopted"
and "covered"
by a "father,"
Joseph of
Nazareth,
Understanding
the duality of
the one sent
from heaven
born of the
virgin, Mary,
through
the flesh of
mankind as the
"seed" of the
generational
line of King
David, yet,
conceived
by the Spirit
of God as the
"Son of
God'... this
is a powerful
and eternal
fulfillment of
God’s
Redemptive
Plan for all
mankind. to
experience.
There is a
study of the
lineage of
Jesus both of
the natural
and the
spiritual as
the
promised Son
of David that
is quite
powerful. You
are encouraged
not to miss
it.
The study and
many others
will open your
experience to
understand
"gleening"
through
enlightenment
and
illumination
of the Word of
God in the
Presence of
the Holy
Spirit!

Returning to
our City of
Lights
article:
Christ is
divinely a
Person of the
Godhead and
‘central’ to
understanding
God.
1. First,
Father
God 2.
Second, Son of
God 3.
Third, Holy
Spirit
Father God
through the
Holy Spirit
has given all
power in
heaven and
earth to His
Son, Jesus
Christ.
Col
1:13-16
AMP
13[The Father]
has delivered
and drawn us
to Himself out
of the
control and
the dominion
of darkness
and has
transferred us
into the
kingdom of the
Son of His
love, 14 In
Whom we have
our redemption
through His
blood, [which
means]
the
forgiveness of
our sins.
15[Now] He is
the exact
likeness of
the unseen God
[the visible
representation
of the
invisible]; He
is the
Firstborn of
all creation.
16 For it was
in Him that
all things
were created,
in heaven and
on earth,
things seen
and things
unseen,
whether
thrones,
dominions,
rulers, or
authorities;
all things
were
created and
exist through
Him [by His
service,
intervention]
and in and for
Him.
However,
Much of the
church world
has the Lord
nailed to the
Cross and
won't let Him
loose!
He himself
declared He
would rebuild
the temple in
3 days!
The ruling
Jews replied
that it took
40 years to
build the
temple in
Jerusalem.
They did not
understand the
spiritual
language the
Lord was
using!
They did not
understand the
power of the
Holy Spirit’s
Presence.
They were
legally bound
by the Law of
Sin and Death
and had taken
upon
themselves
to “rewrite” a
plan of
righteousness
approved by
each man’s own
rules and
intents
for power and
money.
The attributes
of carnality
have not
changed.
We observe
similar
dynamics of
living across
global
societies.
The religious
want to remain
religious for
that is what
they have been
taught!
They are
products of
leaders who
have their own
set of rules.
The deeply
religious are
entrenched in
how "lowly"
and 'humbly'
they can be.
The image of
this
‘religious
spirit’
exemplifies
one to inact
to be ‘sin’
conscious...
“if only I
were worthy.”
This spirit
requires
deliverance!
After The
Resurrection,
the Lord Jesus
instructed
His disciples
to GO FORTH
with the
Message of the
Kingdom.
This is the
“pattern of
the Son’ we
are to receive
and to
follow!
However, Ears
do not hear
what the
Spirit is
saying to the
church when it
is man’s
doctrines and
rituals that
are being
perpetuated.
In His Advent,
The Lord
taught and
proclaimed His
Kingdom was
"at Hand!"
over 100
times. He
decreed
repentance and
“Made the Way”
for daily
cleansing
through the
“washing of
the Word!”
Ephesians
5:26-27
AMP 26
So that He
might sanctify
her, having
cleansed her
by the
washing of
water with the
Word,27 That
He might
present the
church to
Himself in
glorious
splendor,
without spot
or wrinkle or
any such
things [that
she might be
holy and
faultless].
Titus 3:5-7
5 AMP
He saved us,
not because of
any works of
righteousness
that we had
done,
but because of
His own pity
and mercy, by
[the]
cleansing
[bath] of the
new birth
(regeneration)
and renewing
of the Holy
Spirit,
6 Which He
poured out
[so] richly
upon us
through Jesus
Christ our
Savior.
7[And He did
it in order]
that we might
be justified
by His grace
(by His favor,
wholly
undeserved),
[that we might
be
acknowledged
and counted as
conformed to
the
divine will in
purpose,
thought, and
action], and
that we might
become heirs
of eternal
life according
to [our] hope.
Furthermore,
The Lord
shines His
Light upon the
prayer He
taught the
disciples to
pray:
Luke
11:4
NKJV “ And
forgive us our
sins, For we
also forgive
everyone who
is indebted
to us.”This is
fulfilled
through The
Cross of death
and in The
Resurrection
of Life!
NEW LIFE IN
THE WORD AND
HOLY GHOST!
1 John
1:9-10
NKJV
9 If we
confess our
sins, He is
faithful and
just to
forgive us our
sins and to
cleanse us
from all
unrighteousness.
10 If we say
that we have
not sinned, we
make Him a
liar, and His
word is not in
us.
Cleansing is
by the WATER
of the
WORD!
The Holy
Spirit is the
"Water!"
He is the Life
initiator,
restorer and
sustainer
(Without
physical water
we are dead!
Our bodies are
made of 80%
water (H2O)...
20% elements
of the earth.)
He changes the
'void' and
manifests the
Light! [ref.
Genesis 1;2-3;
20; 2:7]
God is
faithful to
wash us clean
by His word,
to regenerate
us and to
renew us daily
by His Spirit!
The Light of
The Lord
shines upon
His words and
His actions:
The “pattern
of the
Son”!
1. He was
baptized
(immersed
symbolically
into death...
into
hell)
2. He was
raised up out
of the water
symbolically
into Life...
“The
Resurrection.”
3. He was seen
“come upon” by
the Holy
Spirit ‘as a
dove.”
Symbolically
the Sign of
Divine Peace
Treaty with
God and the
divine work
of
‘empowerment
of the
anointing.’
● The Father
is the
“Anointer” and
Source and
Sender of
everything
GOOD.
Through all
creation He
proclaimed
GOOD
THINGS!
[the divine
action
of prophesy or
the ‘prophetic
gift of the
Spirit]
GOD is SPIRIT
and TRUTH!
The Book of
Genesis
(denotes
beginning)
records that
everything
made by God
(evidenced by
and as the
Trinity) was
“Good.”
● The Son is
the “Anointed
One.”
Sent and
Empowered to
Do the
Apostolic Work
of the Sender.
● The Holy
Ghost (Holy
Spirit) is the
“Anointing.”
He is the
administrator
of the
Presence of
God.
Wherever He is
involved LIFE
[righteousness:
Light ]
abounds
whether in
Heavenly
realms or
earthly realms
[earthen
vessels]...
the power and
authority of
the Godhead
dwells… the
Persons of God
are presented.
The Lord
shines His
Light upon the
prayer He
taught the
disciples to
pray:
Luke
11:4
NKJV “And do
not lead us
into
temptation,
But deliver us
from the evil
one."
(Deliverance
is a Holy
Act!)
This part of
'The Lord's
Prayer' is
disclosed in
the prayer of
Jabez and is
fulfilled
in the Gift
[the faithful
promise]
SENDING of the
Holy Spirit in
the “Law of
the Spirit”…
[Romans
Chapter 8] was
given after
The
Resurrection
and The
Ascension
whereby
He gave GIFTS
of MEN
(FUNCTIONS) to
accomplish the
“GREAT
COMMANMENT.”
That we “GO
FORTH!”
He did not
instruct to
“linger at the
Cross.” He
instructed to
be mindful of
Him
and the Work
that He did
that it
re-presents
UNITY of The
BODY!
As "redeemed
from rebellion
against God,
and as
'translated
into His
marvelous
Light,"
we are to come
'boldly with
confidence" to
the throne
room of
God.
It is here in
the Word and
relational
with the Holy
Spirit (GOD)
that we
confess
our
'violations'
our
"lawlessness"
(sins) to the
rules of the
kingdom
enfolded in
the Love,
Grace and
Mercies we
have inherited
in Christ.
Paul fully
discloses the
"mercies of
David" as
being a
promise
fulfilled!
Acts
13:34
AMP
And as to His
having raised
Him from among
the dead, now
no more to
return
to [undergo]
putrefaction
and
dissolution
[of the
grave], He
spoke in this
way,
I will fulfill
and give to
you the holy
and sure mercy
and blessings
[that were
promised
and assured]
to David.
MERCIES of
David Holy,
and Sure Mercy
and
blessings...
promised and
assured...
"The sure
mercies of
David—The word
“mercies”
refers to the
promise made
to David;
the mercy or
favor shown to
him by
promising to
him a
successor that
should
not fail
to sit on his
throne,
2 Samuel
7:16
AMP
And your house
and your
kingdom shall
be made sure
forever before
you;
your throne
shall be
established
forever
Psalms
89:4 AMP
Your Seed I
will establish
forever, and I
will build up
your throne
for all
generations.
Psalms 132:11
The Lord swore
to David in
truth; He will
not turn back
from it: one
of the fruit
of your body I
will set upon
your throne
These mercies
and promises
are called
“sure,” as
being true or
unfailing;
they would
certainly be
accomplished.
God made to
David a
promise, a
certain
pledge; he
bestowed on
him this
special mercy,
in promising
that he should
have a
successor who
should sit
forever on his
throne.
This promise
was understood
by the Jews,
and is often
referred to in
the New
Testament
as relating to
the Messiah.
Acts
13:34
Paul
here says that
that promise
is fulfilled.
The
only question
is how it
refers to the
subject on
which he was
discoursing.
The
point was not
mainly to
prove his
resurrection,
but to show
particularly
that
he would never
die again, or
that he would
forever live
and reign.
And the
argument is,
that as God
had promised
that David
should have a
successor
who should sit
forever on his
throne, and as
this
proclamation
now fulfilled
in the
Messiah, the
Lord Jesus, it
followed that,
as that
promise was
sure and
certain,
he would never
die again. He
must live if
the promise
was completed.
And though he
had been put
to death, yet
under that
general
promise there
was
a
certainty that
he would live
again.
It was
impossible,
the meaning
is, that the
Messiah, the
promised
successor of
David,
the perpetual
occupier of
his throne,
should remain
under the
power of
death.
Under this
assurance the
church now
reposes its
hopes. Zion’s
King now
lives,
ever able to
vindicate and
save his
people. TODAY
is the
Messiah's Day
of Salvation!
Heb
6:19-20
AMP
19[Now] we
have this
[hope] as a
sure and
steadfast
anchor of the
soul [it
cannot slip
and it cannot
break down
under whoever
steps out upon
it--a hope]
that reaches
farther
and enters
into [the very
certainty of
the Presence]
within the
veil, [Lev
16:2.]
20 Where Jesus
has entered in
for us [in
advance], a
Forerunner
having become
a High Priest
forever after
the order
(with the
rank) of
Melchizedek.
Many of the
church world
has the Lord
nailed to the
Cross and
won't let Him
loose!
Disciples are
entrenched in
how "'owly'
and 'humbly'
they can be if
only they were
worthy to be
able to get
off their
“knees,”
they GO
Forth
with the
Message of the
Kingdom of
which the Lord
taught and
proclaimed was
"at Hand" over
100 times
in his Advent
before and
after The
Resurrection!
The Kingdom
Mandate became
"Operative,"
in full
(instrumentally)
through
earthen
vessels,10
days after the
Ascension!
The Kingdom is
no longer "at
hand!'
It has been
operative for
more than 2000
years!
Men have so
perverted the
Kingdom
Message by
shutting out
the Acts of
the
ACTS!
Without the
working
manifestation
of
apostolic-prophetic
ministry, the
church is
DEAD! The Holy
Spirit is the
breath
Life both in
the beginning
in the
creation of
physical man
and in the
beginning of
the divine
spiritual
man... the
"born-again"
who have
received the
Light of Truth
in
The Lord!
The prayer that
the disciples
asked The Lord
Jesus to teach
them was
fulfilled!
"The Kingdom
has come to
earth as it is
in Heaven!"
God the Holy
Spirit (fully
representing
the Godhead)
as He dwells
(abides) in us
is the Hope of
Glory fulfilled
through
the apostolic
advent in the
work, life,
crucifixion,
death, burial,
descent to
hell,
resurrection,
ascension, and
enthronement
of Christ!
Isaiah 60:1-2NKJV
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.
"For your light has
come!
And the glory of the
LORD is risen
upon you.'
This is a NOW Reality!
It is
confirmation
of Isaiah's
prophetic
declaration!
The Lord Jesus is the
Light! HE HAS
COME Upon You!
He has filled you with
His Glory! and
He shines His
Light upon
your face!
(Your spirit mind!)
He is seen as the light
of men through
3 divine
attributes:
1. illumination... of
the spirit
mind
2. enlightenment... in
understanding
the divine
principles and
applications
of His kingdom
culture and
symbolic
language.
3. revelation... the
operative
manifestation
of God Who is
apostolic...
The ONE
of the Godhead
SENT to
represent
(re-present)
the Father
and
The King of
Glory, Jesus
Christ the Son
of God!
John 14:26AMP
But the Comforter (Counselor,
Helper,
Intercessor,
Advocate,
Strengthener,
Standby),
the
Holy Spirit,
Whom the
Father will
send in My
name [in My
place, to represent Me
and act
on My behalf],
He will teach
you all
things. And He
will cause you
to recall
(will
remind you of,
bring to your
remembrance)
everything I
have told you.
He has called us to
serve Him...
not upon
values of our
self esteem,
but upon His
divine will,
plan and
purposes!
He esteems us as
sanctified:
set in right
standing with
Him and as
such esteems
us
as one who is grafted
into the
inheritances
of His Beloved
Son...
He has
declared us as
holy and as a
precious seed,
a 'son' of
whom the whole
creation
is waiting
upon our
awakening (our
manifestation)!
The task ahead
is to
“publish”
(declare,
decree,
proclaim,
transmit) the
Gospel of the
Kingdom in its
NOW Reality!
The church has
been put to
“sleep.” It is
dead!
“Ichabod” is
(spiritually
written) over
the door post!
1 Sam 4:21
… Ichabod,
saying, The
glory is
departed… (No Holy Spirit
allowed!)
Meeting
after
meeting..
behind closed
doors..
"deacon
boards" plead,
contrive
and pressure
ministers to
account for a
“good number”
of souls
saved.
As a result,
hell becomes
the central
message rather
than the
Kingdom
Message
of Grace and
Demonstration
of the
Kingdom.
The
Light of Truth
is that the
redeemed are
no longer at
the foot of
the Cross!
The Lord is not on the
cross either!
The Lord Jesus has made
us free of our
sin of
rebellion. He
nullified the
penalty
of our sin
(lawlessness
through
attitudes and
acts against
Will of God).
He took the
'Curse’ of
death...of
separation
from God
(Truth,
Life,and
Spirit) and
filled
those who have
changed their
hearts
confessing
their
rebellion with
New Life in
Him.
God has given
supernatural
favor through
His mercy and
grace to
whosoever will
be obedient to
His commands.
Psalms
2:12 AMP
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!
The Blessing
of the
Light of Truth
in The Lord is
the Kingdom
Message:
Jesus is the
Way, Truth and
the Life and
no man enters
the Kingdom
of God without
accepting Him
as the Son of
God.
In His Name
resides all
that He
represents. Every knee shall bow to
the Son of
God,
Lord of lords
and king of
Kings!
What is the
Blessing?...
that we might
walk in peace
and favor, and receive Eternal Life
entering the
Kingdom
of God while
on earth!
Psalms 133
1-3 AMP
BEHOLD, HOW
good and how pleasant
it is for
brethren to
dwell together
in unity!
2
It is like the
precious
ointment
poured on the
head, that ran
down on the
beard,
even the beard
of Aaron [the
first high
priest], that
came down upon
the collar and
skirts
of his
garments
[consecrating
the whole
body]. [see Ex
30:25,30.]
3
It is like the
dew of [lofty]
Mount Hermon
and the dew
that comes on
the hills of
Zion;
for there the
Lord has
commanded the
blessing, even
life
forevermore
[upon the high
and the
lowly].
The Father did not
command the
redeemed to
stay under His
Son's feet.
Once one has
bowed to the
recognition of
Gods gift of
grace and
committed
their life
to be a
faithful
disciple
walking in the
Light
(righteousness)
of His Son,
the following
declaration is
fulfilled
How can
one reach
spiritual
height in
Praise of the
Victorious
Work of the
Lord
when never
“leaving” the
foot of the
Cross?
Matt 22:44 KJV
The LORD said unto my
Lord, Sit thou
on my right
hand, till I make thine enemies
thy footstool?
The Lord has
made the way
that we may
have the
boldness and
the revelation
of
Stephen!
Be encouraged to learn of this
revelation!
(Book of Acts
the 7th
chapter)
Who
are the
enemies of
God?
The (redeemed from
rebellion)
"born-again of
the Spirit,
were once an
enemy!
Not such any
more... as one
walks by and
in the Spirit
having the
mind, and soul
transformed
out of the
ways of the
world and into
the ways of
the kingdom,
one's
full being is
in Christ,
God's
Son...the
"Name of
Jesus!"
The Holy Spirit, He is
God! There are
three Persons
"as one God,
the Godhead."
Since the Redeemed are
no longer the
enemy,
spiritually,
what are We
are NOW?
Answer: The Temple..
the
HOUSE of the
Lord!
Acts
7:48-51Amp
...the Most High
does not dwell
in houses and
temples made
with hands;
as the prophet
says, [see:Isa 66:1,2.]
49 Heaven [is] My
throne, and
earth the
footstool for
My feet. What
[kind of]
house
can you build
for Me, says
the Lord, or
what is the
place in which
I can rest?
50 Was it not My hand
that made all
these things?
[Isa 66:1,2.]
51 You stubborn and
stiff-necked
people, still
heathen and
uncircumcised
in heart
and ears, you
are always
actively
resisting the
Holy Spirit.
As your
forefathers
[were], so you
[are and so
you do]!
[Ex 33:3,5;
Num 27:14; Isa
63:10; Jer
6:10; 9:26.]
Are
we set free to
build?
Of What are we NOW set
free?
What will we
build?
Hebrews
10:12-22AMP
12 Whereas this one
[Christ],
after He had
offered a
single
sacrifice for
our sins
[that shall
avail] for all
time, sat down
at the right
hand of God,
13 Then to wait until
His enemies
should be made
a stool
beneath His
feet. [Ps
110:1.]
14 For by a single
offering He
has forever
completely
cleansed and
perfected
those
who are
consecrated
and made holy.
15 And also the Holy
Spirit adds
His testimony
to us [in
confirmation
of this].
For having
said,
16 This is the
agreement
(TESTAMENT,
covenant) that
I will set up
and conclude
with them
after those
days, says the
Lord:
I will imprint My
laws upon
their hearts,
and I will
inscribe them
on their minds
(on their
inmost
thoughts and
understanding),
17 He then goes on to
say, And their
sins and their
law breaking I
will remember
no more.
[Jer
31:33,34.]
18 Now where there is
absolute
remission
(forgiveness
and
cancellation
of the
penalty)
of these [sins
and
lawbreaking],
there is no
longer any
offering made
to atone for
sin.
19 Therefore, brethren,
since we have
full freedom
and confidence
to enter into
the
[Holy of]
Holies [by the
power and
virtue] in the
blood of
Jesus,
20 By this fresh
(new) and
living way
which He
initiated and
dedicated and
opened for us
through the
separating
curtain (veil
of the Holy of
Holies), that
is, through
His flesh,
21 And since we
have [such] a
great and
wonderful and
noble Priest
[Who rules]
over the house
of God,
22 Let us all
come forward
and draw near
with true
(honest and
sincere)
hearts in
unqualified
assurance and
absolute
conviction
engendered by
faith (by that
leaning
of the entire
human
personality on
God in
absolute trust
and confidence
in His power,
wisdom, and
goodness),
having our
hearts
sprinkled and
purified from
a guilty
(evil)
conscience and
our bodies
cleansed with
pure water.
Does
this ring of
UNWORTHINESS?NO!!!!
It is time to GO FORTH in the Victory
and the New
Robes of
RIGHTEOUSNESS
bestowed and
crowned upon
our hearts,
soul and mind!
The
KING has
Ordained us to
DO SO as his
Royal Army
(nation)
in
the power and
authority of His Name
(which
re-presents
all that He
IS)
to defeat the
enemies and
NOW bring them
into the same
GRACE of the
Gospel
which we have
so awesomely
been blessed!
"Let
us all come
forward
and draw

If
one remains at
the foot how
can one ever
become
relational
with the Head of the Body?
Can the Body function
without the
illumination.
enlightenment
and revelation of the Head? No
!!!!
Who is the Light?
Christ is the
“Head.”Christ
is the King of
Glory...
symbolically
"the Lion
(king) of Judah"
(His Tribe)
the Body
of Christ!
This speaks loud and
clear to the
nations of Africa!
The lion is the ‘king
of the bush!They are “tribal” and “brutally
protective” of
their
territory! Do we
think we can
expand the
territory of
the Lord
without power

We have boldly entered
the presence
of God asking
through
prayer,the
requests of
Jabez. (Ref.I Chronicles 4:10)

major move of
God to
divinely

who are open
hearted
and teachable.It is through the apostolos
of Christ
(fellowship)
that glorious
illumination,
enlightenment
and revelation
is to be
shared as the

God is
breaking off
the falsehoods
of church
traditionalism and legalism.
As vanguards
we are to be
visionaries
and to guide
others into
the
foundations of
truth
rather than
into the
"doctrines of
men."
When assemblies of
believers are
fully equipped
with
understanding
and
application in
administration
of the deeper
walk in the
Spirit... the
work is
magnified by
the Lord
and not by the
works of the
soul and
designs of
dynasty
building...
the work of the
ministry is to
build the Kingdom
of Christ
teaching His
Love, and
Kingdom
culture.
He sits at the right
hand of the
Father
(signifies He
has the power
and the authority
as King to
rule and reign
supreme over

be the
foundation of
our quest for
apostolic-prophetic
enrichment
in both
physical and
spiritual
realms.
Spread the
"word' of good
news about
what you have
found!
Matt 13:45-46AMP
45 Again the kingdom of
heaven is like
a man who is a
dealer in
search
of fine andprecious
pearls,
46 Who, on finding a
single pearl
of great
price, went
and sold all
he had and
bought it.
We have been
graciously
directed to
the precious
pearl of the "pattern
of the Son” in
understanding
what the early
apostles
understood.
In fellowship
and open
sharing of the
Goodness of
the Lord, He
pours forth
empowerment
and
enlightenment.
We are just
beginning to
experience
this priceless
pearl as the
Holy Ghost
answers our
Prayer of
Jabez to
expand our
territory
(borders) of
influence
sharing the The
Light of Truth
in The Lord!
Where
did Christ
take John the
Beloved,
to REVEAL all
that the
persecuted
church
needed to know about
Christ?
He
certainly did
not put him
under his feet
as a
'footstool."No!
Where then?The
Holy Ghost
(SPIRIT) took
him to the CentralCommandCenter
in Heaven…
He took him
into the
Divine
Intelligence
theater to
show him all
things that he
may know
and then write
them and
distribute to
the Body!
Why?Answer;
It is an
apostolic-prophetic
FUNCTION
divinely
Designed and
Given
as GIFTS to
the church…
Mark 16:15 Amp
15 And He said to them,
Go into all
the world and
preach and
publish openly
the good news
(the Gospel)
to every
creature [of
the whole
human race].
1 Corinthians 9:14 Amp
[On the same principle]
the Lord
directed that
those who
publish the
good news
(the Gospel)
should live
(get their
maintenance)
by the Gospel.
For what purpose?
For the
equipping of
the Body and
the action to
DO THE WORK OF
MINISTRY!
What is the work?
To carry the anointing
and knowledge
of the
ministry of
RECONCILIATION
locally,
regionally and
globally.
Now, how can all these
things be
accomplished
with a belief
conviction
of "I am not worthy?"
We are destined to be
vanguards..
1. keepers of the
faith,
2. caretakers of the
wounded and
down trodden,
3. healers and
deliverers
from the works
of the devil!
So what NOW?
"Cast down" those
images that so
easily beset!
Beset defined: to
assail,
harass; to
besiege, hem
in; encompass,
attack.
It is time to
"ARISE in our
messages and
focus on the Glorious work...
of the Gifts of
the Spirit and
the
advancements
or strategies
of the
Kingdom!
We need a
divine
perspective
and proper
alignment.
The Cross
experience is
imperative but
its purpose is
to open the
doors to the
Kingdom.
In the
Resurrection
we are
spiritually
set free of
the Old Man
living a self
centered life.
When we are
'evangelizing,"
it is the time
to focus on
the Lamb
sacrifice
and 'revelation"
of the Cross.The message of the Cross is
eternal and
filled with power
for
deliverance.
The message of
the Light of
God is for
fulfilling
the plan of
God that the
knowledge of
the Lord
COVERS! The
Lord Jesus is
King,
High Priest
and Prophet.
(remember the
provision of
God for man
before the
fall?
He covered
them in His
Divine Spirit
day by day.
Recall what He
did for Adam
and Eve after
"the sin of
rebellion
confession"?
We see him tend,
care and
protect
them...He
COVERED their
physical
needs!
They were
physically and
spiritually
naked!
God the Trinity,CARES, TENDS and PROTECTS!
These are also the
apostolic and
prophetic
foundations
given in the
functions
of the
ascension
gifts of men!THEY ARE NOT TITLES! They cover
the needs
of the Church
as functioning
ministries.

He charged

Titles do not
'build.'
Men of action
build. they
perform the
functions of a

They are definitions of
'OFFICE

banker,
grave digger,

shepherd,
To define the
function an
identifier is
placed with
the Person's
name.
The identifier
is the "title

of the
function.
Functions are not given as rewards
nor are they
given to
'esteem."
Gifts or
abilities are
the rewrds and
empowerment to
fulfill the
function.
The 5 functions
or "positions"
or "offices"
are "WORKING"
MINISTRIES
within the
OPERATION of
the BODY!
They are to "FLOW

"I Am the

"I Am AN

"I Am A
PROPHET."
God
the Father
calls us
'sons.'
He is
not a
respecter of
persons.
How
did the Lord
respond when
the disciples
were sparring
as to who
was to be the
'greatest?'
Mark 9:33-37AMP
33 And they
arrived at Capernaum;
and when [they
were] in the
house,
He asked them,
What were you
discussing and
arguing about
on the road?
34 But they kept
still, for on
the road they
had discussed
and disputed
with
one another as to
who was the
greatest.
35 And He sat
down and
called the
Twelve
[apostles],
and He said to
them,
If anyone desires
to be first,
he must be
last of all,
and servant of
all.
36 And He took a
little child
and put him in
the center of
their group;
and taking him in
[His] arms, He
said to them,
37 Whoever in My
name and for
My sake
accepts and
receives and
welcomes one such
child also
accepts and
receives and
welcomes Me;
and whoever so
receives Me
receives not
only Me but
Him Who sent
Me.
Let us CAST DOWN
the move and
quest for who
is greatest...
the title is
deceiving...
Can any man pass the
test... the
examination
that Paul puts
forth?
Note: 'bishop' does not
mean hierarchy
of
organizational
design...
It does not denote who
is greatest or
first!
It does not extend
powers over
other
ascension gift
of men
(FUNCTIONS)!
It does not imply
"control and
last word"
authority!
Nor does "bishop'
denote in
anyway to
conform to
legalist and
traditionalist
practices!
"Bishop" denotes
"overseer of
spiritual well
being.
Tending, guarding and
keeping the
saints
"covered"
against the
wiles of false
apostles
("specialized messages
of error"
opposing
'special
messages from
God)
and false teachers
(expounders of
the 'word of
God' building
upon
suppositions
and
speculations
rather than
rightly
dividing the
truth...
these include
fleshly
subjects
centered on
man made
policies and
dictates).
In Paul's writings to Timothy and Titus, he gave
directives
regarding the
moral
qualifications
and spiritual
standards for
bishops,
elders
(spiritual
counselors)
and deacons
(helpers and
caretakers of
the activities
of the
meetings and
facilities)
[see 1 Timothy
3:1-13; Titus
1:5-9] These
are made clear
that they are
general
instructions
and attribute
requirements
for those who
will serve in
the spiritual
and physical
roles within
Christ's
Church.
Of much
interest is
that there is
no statement
in the New
Testament that
make a
distinction
between
five-fold
ministries as
to qualifying
standards of
character or
supernatural
experiences.
Nor are there
any
distinctions
or directives
given to
appoint
ascension
gift functions
within the
church local,
regional or
international.
we do however
have the
Lord's
:pattern."
In that He is
the Head of
the Body, and
the ascension
gifts are
given by Him,
they are
'headship"
ministries.
This not to
state they are
assignment of
individual
to be made by
voice proxy or
democratic
ticket
voting.
It is Christ
through the
working
presence of
the Holy
Spirit Who
inspires men
and women to
function
in these
gifts.
(note; they
are an
extension to
the headship
ministry of
Jesus Christ.
as King,
Priest and
Prophet and
The
Apostle.
They are
building, and
equipping
ministries
strengthen by
the gifts of
the Spirit.
These
five-fold
functioning
ministries are
given as
functioning in
the five
divine
'patterns"
to (1) govern,
(2) guide, (3)
gather, (4)
ground and (5)
guard God;s
people.
Within each of
5-fold
ministries is
the grace and
varied gifted
ability to
facilitate
these
five "patterns
of the Son."
These
functioning
"patterns" do
not carry
standards for
operation, but
are exercised
by Holy Spirit
manifesting
anointing and
divinely given
ability.
There are no
scriptures
that suggest
that five-fold
ministries are
limited to
certain
ministerial
activities or
leadership
abilities.
In operation
(function),
the five-fold
ministries
overlap and
integrate just
as the Gifts
of the Spirit
do.
Here is
articulation
the major
theme of this
article:
Ascension gift
ministries are
NOT
independent
and separated
from one
another!
They ARE Interdependent
ministries
vitally
related to
each other in
Christ!
They are five
parts of One
Whole with
five varying
graces and
gifted
abilities.
Therefore, 5
fold
ministries are
not given to
be worn in a
manner
As look at me,
"I AM a TITLED
Ranking head."
We
are known
in what we DO,
not in what we
say we are.
1 Thess
5:12-13
AMP
12 Now also we
beseech you,
brethren, get
to know those
who labor
among you
[recognize
them for what
they are,
acknowledge
and appreciate
and respect
them all]
your leaders
who are over
you in the
Lord and those
who warn and
kindly reprove
and exhort
you.
13 And hold
them in very
high and most
affectionate
esteem in
[intelligent
and
sympathetic]
appreciation
of their work.
Note the
emphasis on
WORK.. it is
referring to
the 'work of
the ministry."
IT takes ALL
five
ministries
[Not persons
of Title]
working
(functioning)
together
to make up the
fullness of
Christ's
ministry to
the Body! None
of the
ministries
are inferior
or superior to
the
other.
ALL are
anointed and
appointed of
God
for specific
functioning
purposes!
IT IS
DETRIMENTAL TO
THE FUNCTION
OF THE
ASCENSION GIFT
MINISTRIES
TO BE
CATEGORIZED AS
TITLES OF
PERSONALITIES,
PERFORMANCES
OR
RANKING
POSITIONS.
The Holy
Spirit is
grieved when
individually
or corporately
a Title, rank
or position
is created
upon methods
of evaluation
for self
assignment, or
'church board'
or
'members
meeting"
assignment to
a "position of
leadership."
It is
time for
individuals to
take off their
Self
proclaimed
empire titles
and put on
the spiritual
designation of
"brother."
The anointing
and the work
will reveal
the
true identity
of service to
the
instrumentality
of the
kingdom, the
church.
Ministry
is not about
us!
It is ALL
about the
Lord!
1 John
2:27 AMP
27 But as for
you, the
anointing (the
sacred
appointment,
the unction)
which you
received from
Him abides
[permanently]
in you; [so]
then you have
no need that
anyone should
instruct you.
But just as
His anointing
teaches you
concerning
everything and
is true and is
no falsehood,
so you must
abide in (live
in, never
depart from)
Him [being
rooted in Him,
knit to Him],
just as [His
anointing] has
taught you [to
do].

man examine
his own heart,
his motives

influences
derived by
what
he is

3. God the KING

May we all be

be sensitive
to "TheLight

in
1. all purity of

2. all purity of
actions.
3. in genuine
apostolic
fellowship.
Let us follow the

4 O let the nations be
glad and sing
for joy, for
You will judge
the peoples
fairly and
guide, lead,

nations upon
earth. Selah
[pause, and
calmly think
of that]!
5 Let the peoples
praise You
[turn away
from their
idols] and
give thanks to
You,
O God; let all
the peoples
praise and
give thanks to
You!
May the Holy
Ghost shine
brightly upon
your heart and
in your bones
and set you on
fire like He
did Jeremiah!
Jeremiah 20:9
If I say, I
will not make
mention of
[the Lord] or
speak any more
in His name,
in my mind and
heart it is as
if there were
a burning fire
shut up in my
bones.
And I am weary
of enduring
and holding it
in; I cannot
[contain it
any longer].
