THE PRIME DIRECTIVE:
UNITY
Part Two Compromise
is the biggest deterrent to unity for it will not draw a line by which
only ONE truth may be established.
This results in the overthrow of authority.
It is the basis of Satan’s throne for every house divided
cannot stand. This is why Jehu was asked repeatedly, “Is it peace Jehu?” He was sent with arrows of full strength (YHVH’s Torah is defined as to
shoot as with an arrow/to hit the mark.
Judah is the bow and it is filled
with Ephraim,
symbolic of spirit, Zech. 9:13). These
arrows separate between flesh and spirit, destroying compromise.
You are making a choice against YHVH when you remain neutral.
Jehu, with the arrow of full strength knows whose side he is on. This is the power of Yahshua’s authority and it will
execute judgment on its enemies! Now that we have a good understanding of YHVH’s plan, the tabernacle (sanctuary,
garden), and the creation of man and his bride, let’s see how
unity ties in with the elements explained in Part One. We are to be “regathered” in the last days for YHVH great plan and
its fulfillment. The
‘gathering’ is a work of HIS SPIRIT. Ezek 36:23-28 And
I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the
nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know
that I am the LORD," says the Lord GOD, "when
I am hallowed in you before their eyes.
For
I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all
countries, and bring you into your own land.
Then
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will
cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I
will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you;
I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of
flesh. I
will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and
you will keep My judgments and do them. Then
you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My
people, and I will be your God. Unity-
OT:1571 gam
(gam); by contraction from an unused root meaning to gather;
properly, assemblage; used only adverbially also, even, yea,
though; We can see that in the building of the temple, He is the one who
gathers or brings together a people of diverse gifts and callings. Eph 4:11-16 11 And He Himself gave some to be
apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and
teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity
of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man,
to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in
the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking
the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ-- from whom the whole body,
joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according
to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes
growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. The first part of this teaching was a relaying of various concepts to
point us in a direction looking frontward in the temple to the Most Holy
Place/Yahshua. The inner
court is the place of anointing. We
cannot come into the Most Holy Place until He is KING or YHVH (eternal
relationship) as we learned previously.
The present Priesthood will not take us into this place (promise land), but
is instead blocking Yahshua’s throne and usurping their authority
above His. We
are to grow up in all things into HIM, the head.
We are starting to come into the unity of faith as we come out of
these religious systems built by man.
We cannot MAKE these ONE. The
idea of bringing all denominations together to create unity is
FALSEHOOD. Denominations
are MAN-MADE! All
that has been built by man will be destroyed. Unity will be created by
the ‘regathering’ of a remnant by the Holy One of Israel and
bringing them into the Most Holy Place (the garden or sanctuary). We
will return to ONE faith as ONE people with ONE Elohim! Who has ONE Name! When man
returns to the ROOT whereby all life originates, then He will see his
true heritage (birthright). The remnant bride is Israel and YHVH is her Elohim!
The whole Bible is about this relationship.
The foundation is NOT Judaism or Christianity (both are
branches), but a faith originating from YHVH’s Holy Torah, the
root. The written and
LIVING (spirit and truth) Torah. We live in more than one dimension as a spiritual being.
(It is my belief that this is what YHVH was referring to when
He said, “Let Us make man in Our image.”)
Unity exists in its completeness when we come into the Most Holy
Place (where eternity resides and His word is understood in
completeness, it is made perfect in this light).
Eve thought she could remain there in her own ability (spirituality).
This of course opens the door to false religions, pride,
self-righteousness, etc (characteristics of the fallen bride).
‘Coming in’ is also a paradox for we do not come in together, but
separate (individual, as Adam is taken and placed).
This is where we are ‘caught up to His throne.’
This is the mystery. Let
me tell you now that not everyone is going there.
There is no sense in getting upset about it, that’s just the
way it is. (We learned the why of this from Part One.) We have seen the different dimensions in the temple and their
significance in our relationship with YHVH.
Great detail was given as to how we are chosen, our obedience is
evidence of true faith. We
explained that a person does choose YHVH, but not a position in His
kingdom. These
positions are predestined according to foreknowledge. There
is a dwelling in eternity that we cannot comprehend until we are
completely brought in or crossed over.
It is there that we will see how He was, IS and is to come.
We will be like Him —in Him from the beginning —kept IN HIM
in the world —and coming with Him when He returns.
[Refer to Psalms 22-24 as past, present and future Messiah are
described. The bride must
enter back through these doors. Crowning
Him KING and partaking of the life of Our Good Shepherd (relationship).
This leads to following Him to the cross; persecution, betrayal
and death]. Now, let’s take a good look at what brings us IN to this unity of the
faith mentioned in Ephesians: It is
the five-fold ministry that will bring us in for we need ALL parts. We
previously described how the lack of the true Prophetic OFFICE in
dealing with the bride’s deception was the obvious cause for her fall.
So what is the cause of the fall from grace in the present day
bride? What has led to her
whoring with other gods? Her
misguided focus? Her out of
balance teachings and confusing, double-minded messages? Missing her time of visitation?
Her moving from the foundation (truth) of Torah to a foundation
of falsehood (lies)! Her
turning from the Most Holy Place (relationship with YHVH) to the world (covetousness
and selfish ambition). What
has led to her demise? Answer
for me the following question... Where
is the TRUE Apostle and the Prophet? They
are not in the temple (made by man), but out in the wilderness being tested to come forth in
power and begin the completion of Yahshua’s ministry. Preparing the way for His second coming as KING.
The Prophet is RESTORATION! 1 Kings 18:30-32 And
he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down. 31 And Elijah
took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of
Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, "Israel shall
be your name." Elijah restores the altar according to the foundation of YHVH’s ways
and not men’s. The
Apostle will build upon these stones.
The true apostolic will have an ETERNAL vision and not a
temporary one. His life is NOT about this present one. His function is to bring us into maturity (beyond the
temporal). He is the
message, instructing us in persecution. These TWO offices are the foundation of Yahshua’s temple.
(Not only corporately, but also the individual temple,
dwelling place.) These
are the two offices He brought to the temple when He came as Our High
Priest (when they are rejected, the mission of antichrist follows).
These will be those He restores before returning as King. There are many who are being called by men this title who have
not been given by YHVH, but are self or man-exalted.
They will be used to fulfill the plan to persecute and crucify
the King. They eat from
Jezebel’s table. I do not
see the present temple leadership in submission to the ministry of John
the Baptist any more than the temple during his time was.
[This is why Yahshua answered their question in the form of
another question referring to the baptism of John being from men or
heaven, Mark 11:29-30. He
knew if they did not recognize the ministry of the prophet as true
spiritual authority, then they would not recognizes His authority
either.] John’s most important purpose was to witness to Yahshua’s
appearing. [As an important side-note, remember the bride is deceived to think she
knows what ‘good’ is. She
will see Messiah as evil and crucify Him because she believes the
slander and lies orchestrated by the Jezebel spirit.
As these (in Messiah) are taken outside the city and
stoned to death (outcast, murdered) the work that YHVH wanted
done will be accomplished! As
the bride arrogantly thinks she is ‘GOOD’ and the rest ‘evil,’
it becomes a rude awakening when she discovers the truth.
For YHVH’s true love will come forth in these circumstances.] So this is why the prophet is so rejected for he comes with a word that
destroys the illusion that men can be good (apart from the tree of
life/Yahshua). And
judgment comes on this fallen nature once and for all.
The bride can only be redeemed through repentance.] So guess what church (or more rightly called Jezebel’s
Babylonian, commercialized, organized religious system)?
You are going to miss His second coming for it is by His spirit
that he appears first to make way for His kingdom to be
established (according to His appointed times, which are not even
known let alone observed by much of what is called ‘Christianity’).
When His enemies are MADE His footstool (last being death),
He then returns! Don’t we
understand this death I speak of? It is the complete and utter destruction of ALL forms of
self, however GRAND they may seem!
Now does that sound harsh? It
is not if we are to worship Him from which all good originates. So tell me, where is the Apostle? The
Prophet? Now do not tell me Pastor or Evangelist that you are the
Prophet and Apostle TOO just because you do not want to listen to
the one YHVH has sent! Sorry,
it doesn’t work that way. But
this is what many ministries try to get away with.
These offices have been chosen to work in conjunction (Pastor,
Evangelist, Teacher) with the Prophet and the Apostle.
The Prophet and Apostle are the foundation. It is Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess and Ahab
who is more than willing to let her hear GOD for him! She is out murdering these prophets, so she has to be
their replacement! If she
is not being one herself, she is placing false ones in her midst to
appease her Lord (husband), Baal and reinforce his kingdom of
lies. The lack of repentance brought about by Jezebel has spawned the killing
of the office of prophet. It
is now the gift of prophecy that is being heralded as the true
prophetic. THIS WILL KILL
THE CHURCH! Without the
prophet, she will collide with satanic destiny just like in the garden!
She will continue to eat from the tree of death and think she is
doing a good thing! Religious
HYPOCRISY! Yahshua
pronounced judgment upon it! He swung the rod of correction IN THE TEMPLE! This was the PROPHET sent by YHVH! But they received Him not.
John 3:18-21 And
this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the
light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes
to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been
done in God." Wow! What power
is in the words of Yahshua, OUR living Torah!
Let us receive His warnings and repent for the kingdom of HEAVEN
is at hand! None of us will enter the Most Holy Place without receiving YHVH’s
prophet (and I am talking of an
office here, not a gift)!
I do not care how loud our amplifiers are or how great the
preaching. Or how wonderful
our performances are! Or
how the crowd responds in applause and emotion.
MEN do not USHER people into this place. They are met at the curtain of the flesh by YHVH
Himself! There will be NO
MAN standing between you and YHVH in this part of the temple. Do you hear what I am saying?
Is it clear? There will be a separation of flesh and spirit brought about by the
sword/the word. There will
be a circumcision of the flesh before we can partake of all of the Passover Lamb. The serpent brought us into a world separated from the spirit of YHVH (the
carnal, earthly, beast dimension).
Now it is YAHSHUA full of grace and truth that brings us back
through the doors of restoration! It
is the revealing of the manifest Sons of YHVH that will complete His
ministry on the earth. He
returns as KING first in His people (not that we are kings, but
servants of the KING)! How
can someone be crowned king with no subjects?
WE declare Him as KING in our spirits, hearts, and minds.
This is what gives us the measure of His authority!
Do you see how this is what the fallen bride failed to do?
She did not make Him RULER.
She left room to question His word!
Now she has the distinct purpose of giving birth to the male
child who will declare Him king! Her and her husband (Yahshua) in right relationship
conceive in the Most Holy Place. She
is redeemed by her Bridegroom. (His
appearing is to the woman weeping at His tomb.
There is much revelation in that!) Authority is restored! This
is the foundation! This foundation of the temple is non-existent, yet Pastor’s say they
have YVHV’s vision. We
absolutely cannot without the Prophetic office!
It is like having a body without the eye.
You are not going to see or be warned or overthrow Jezebel.
And the body certainly won’t come into the unity of the
faith and the full stature of Messiah!
Was that strong enough? Maturity comes to those who would be chastised!
Sons of the Most High do their Father’s will, not
man’s or self’s. The prophet is the ONE who will anoint you for ministry in the inner
chamber (court). He
is YHVH’s calling to you. Confirming
what you already sense, but are too blinded by your flesh to see.
Calling you to the Most Holy Place.
Calling you to repentance. He
also warns when we build our ‘Titanic’ headed for destruction (all
men do it in one form or another).
If we do not heed the warning, there is an iceberg that has been
in the world from the beginning. We
are on a collision course with the pride of humanity and will be
destroyed by it. Just look at our present day government, leadership, and ministries
—all ignoring the warnings. They
call their OWN prophets to tell them the story they want to hear so they
can continue at top speed to impress THE WORLD! WE ARE NOT TO BE ABOUT IMPRESSING ANYONE OR ANYTHING!
How can we say we are ‘in Messiah?’
He wasn’t about impressing people!
He never said “Look at what I am doing!”
Do you know that the Titanic collided with an iceberg AFTER many
warnings were given? She
didn’t think there was a big enough iceberg out there to sink her.
The enemy lays low and lurks, hidden beneath the dark waters we
are traveling through. He
is able to sink us, make no mistake about it!
This is a time to SLOW down and hear the voice of YHVH.
This is a time to chart our course carefully, listening to Him at
every turn. This is a time
to hear the prophet’s warnings! This
is a time to stay in His will regardless of the demands of others. We are headed for a destiny, but we will not arrive there if we are more
focused on the applause and recognition we are going to get when we make
a grand, record-breaking entrance!!!
That is HUMANITY! THAT
IS SELF! If we continue to
speed up, when YHVH is saying SLOW down, we are headed for trouble.
These are unknown waters. It
is the very depths of hell that we are crossing over! I see Pastors who make the vision happen because they will not wait on
YHVH (golden calf, HELLO)!.
The temples that we have built with human hands will
self-destruct because the foundation is NOT RIGHT!
There is no prophet in the temple except the one who prophesies
of gold bricks in our pockets! Well,
sounds like that is a recipe for sinking to me! Even though the Titanic was said to be unsinkable, it wasn’t what man
said that mattered. It was
the laws that YHVH established that held true.
The thing that made it ‘BIG’ was also the same thing that
destroyed it. No one took
into consideration how long it would take to change the course of a ship
that size once the iceberg (trouble) was seen.
Our vision is very limited in the dimension we are in now.
By the time Satan’s trap is seen, it will be too late to turn
the ship. This is why YHVH
calls us to turn now. But
few are listening. We want
to party on the ship we have built.
We want to enjoy the luxury and security of traveling through our
spiritual lives first class! Of
course the people on the lower deck are not part of this PARTY, they
just build the ship and keep it running! Well, I get a little carried away when it comes to arrogance and social
classifications in the body! The
true prophet will address these issues, Yahshua did! This is not a time to be shutting the mouth of the prophet.
Or proclaiming the prophetic office to be something it is not!
There is an Elijah company that will be sent before
Yahshua’s return. If we
do not receive their message, we will reject Messiah (the Anointed
One). This is a CHOSEN
OFFICE just as much as a Pastor or Evangelist or Teacher.
We are not at ‘career day’ picking and choosing what we want
to be. When we reject
YHVH’s voice (the ones that He sends), we will not be made ONE
with His purposes. We will
instead be made one with Satan’s end time building of the illusive,
indestructible Titanic! It
will sink to the utter depths of the sea.
Do not be deceived! YHVH’s
word is TRUE! If the leadership in the body continues to play at these offices (of
Prophet and Apostle), guess what is going to eventually happen (and
has already happened to a large degree)?
Yahshua’s anointing and power is going to be stripped from
them. They will be found
chasing their replacement through the wilderness using all of their
kingdom power to wipe out YHVH’s chosen Priesthood.
(The Manifest Sons will not be destroyed, they will overcome
and rule with Him. They
have been prepared for this purpose.)
Those who have compromised their positions (as Adam did) will
turn against Messiah/The Anointed One.
They will align themselves with Antichrist and the New World
Order to stop YHVH’s coming plan of dethroning humanity (SELF)!
There will be an obsession to know at ALL times where DAVID (type
of Messiah) is! When we
create the false, we must destroy the real.
These will live in fear and torment of death.
They will begin to prophecy of another spirit (divination)
for YHVH’s spirit has departed. 1 Sam 18:10 And
it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon
Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with
his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. Let’s continue on with the text from Ephesians 4:11-16 for this all
ties in with the unity that we are being ‘brought’ into: The gifts or anointing is given to men to equip the Saints or body for
the work of the ministry (not so men can have a platform or arena to
display their anointing).
It says TILL we all come into the unity of the faith! That means this is a place that we endeavor to go, being
found in the knowledge of the Son/Yahshua.
Fullness is found where? As
we have learned, the Most Holy Place or Most set-apart place.
This is where you are truly ONE with Him.
He has already chosen these (and remember how they were called
and chosen born of spirit first and then flesh.
They come from Messiah, are kept IN HIM in the world and return with HIM). Now what does this body of scripture text from Ephesians also tell us?
We are to help each other come into this place of stature or
fullness. It is not for us
to gloat over being there. It
is for us to reveal through gifts He has given ‘who Yahshua IS.’
Gifts
are not given so that we can block the view of Yahshua’s throne and be
exalted by men. NONE
of US can compare ourselves to anyone BUT HIM.
That should bring us all to our knees, as we have no spiritual
leg to stand on. What we
have a tendency to do is look to the outer court and the world and think
we are better or more spiritual than they.
It shouldn’t be too difficult to live a holier life than the
world, especially when we are supposed to have the power of the Holy
Spirit residing in us. The
world isn’t the standard. It is
a work of the flesh that compares itself with others to be spiritually
superior or ‘okay.’ This is why Yahshua must be our focus for we will stay
humble before Him if we compare ourselves to Him, the Holiest of all.
Apostasy enters the temple through the workings of the carnal
mind. Corruption is
TOLERATED when we develop this philosophy saying, “Well, I am not as
bad as that guy!” The
more corrupt the standard, the more excuses we give ourselves.
There becomes no more motivation to journey on into holiness (by
which no man shall SEE YHVH). We
begin to think we are there! YHVH,
help US! Comparing
produces apostasy, which turns us away from beholding Yahshua, (The Most
Holy). Paul saw himself at the end of his life as the CHIEF of sinners, not the
greatest of Saints. But can
we see how deceptive this can be? Especially
when Jezebel has you looking in the opposite direction!
Are we looking to the ONE who is going to accomplish His work
THROUGH US? Okay, back to the scripture text. We are to speak the truth in love. Let love for the other person be our motivation or we should
not speak. YHVH will lead
us when it is time. We need
to learn to control our tongues. If
we are not helping a person WALK towards the HOLY PLACE, but driving
them away from YHVH, then what are we doing?
We are being used by the enemy!
It does not matter how much we know if we strike against the rock
and condemn people with it. YHVH
has shown us incredible grace when we were without understanding.
What makes us think others deserve anything less?
Too many undiscerning people use the prohetic voice when it is not
warranted. Moses did this
and it cost him the Promise Land. A
person may need the Teacher or the Pastor or maybe even the mercy of a
mother. But we slap them
with the prophet. This is
NOT of YHVH. This is a
serious office that’s accountability is DEFINITE!
It can accomplish great things in changing the hearts of men and
turning them to their Father (authority).
Used wrongly, it will produce rebellion and drive people away
from YHVH. This makes it
very dangerous when used by those who are arrogant and demeaning. There is no place for arrogance in love. I had to ask myself this question:
Was my ‘always being right’ more important than a person
coming to know Him? Our
egos stand in the way of true grace. We do not deal with
everyone in the same manner. Yahshua
dealt altogether differently with those who were lost in their sins and
those who were serving as priests in the temple (knowing the word of
truth and claiming to know the FATHER).
Just because we KNOW something, does not mean we should enlighten
everyone we come in contact with. We
must use discernment and speak to the heart of a person, which is
only known by the Holy Spirit. Many ministries are so busy making a name for themselves and building,
Building, BUILDING, that they place babies in positions that they have
not been prepared for (because they do the work without asking
questions). Then the
leaders use the same approach of discipline on them as they would those
who know YHVH closely! This
is of the flesh. It is
nothing more than a Jezebel and Ahab power trip and has nothing to do
with true discipleship. There are also many trying to come out of Babylon.
They already feel threatened by the new territory they are
entering. They have had their trust in man obliterated. And
we greet them with a warring sword ready to whack their heads off!
Is this how YHVH treated us when we were coming into the truth?
Did He discipline with such ruthlessness that even the mature
in Him would walk away wounded? I hardly think so.
Most of this behavior does not originate from the spirit, but the
flesh that needs to defend itself.
STOP defending! We should have No reputation to defend! Present the truth and give a person the
liberty to reject or accept it.
The response is NOT our part!
People who teach principles of ‘NO choice’ and see themselves
as sent to straighten out the fallen world are in trouble!
Yahshua did not operate in this kind of authority!
It diminishes the love relationship.
Love is a choice and YHVH IS LOVE! The battle is not with people, it is with the lies people believe.
We can love them and if we do not then we might as
well close up our Bibles and teachings and forget it!
Our knowledge means absolutely nothing if we are by the spirit
driving people away from YHVH. We are NOT in the unity of faith! Or leading others to it! Let me pose a question that might bring this into a stronger light.
Would we deal with our two year old child the same as we would
our 16 year old? The answer is, of course not! The two year old has not learned His Father’s ways.
He is not disciplined, grown, mature.
Jezebel
is famous for the misuse of authority and the abuse of discipline! Secretly
she despises Ahab. This
resentment must surface eventually.
It does so in her offspring.
She repeats the same abuse of power to those under her and the
vicious cycle continues. If there is not grace afforded to the unlearned, then I question the
whole spirit of the person teaching, pastoring or functioning in any
office. A ministry without
the balance of the five-fold offices never brings people into maturity.
So how can she become the bride?
If one is a Prophet, they
can expect to be rejected.
This does not give us a right to lash back at someone.
We simply move on. This
is part of the CALL and it comes with the territory!
The receiving part is not our responsibility nor is ‘the
bringing of it to pass.’ We
can easily discern if a person wants to know truth, yet struggles with a
trust problem. Or desires to know truth, but also protect their relationship
with YHVH. For many, this
is all they came out of Babylon with.
Be patient. The
urgency of a prophetic anointing can be deceiving.
What the prophet sees is forthcoming, even though it is very real
and an alarming danger is sensed. The body that is not under Yahshua’s authority will promote according
to works (instead of the offices being established by HIM).
It is the immature who are still trying to win their Father’s
approval that will perform. Those
who do not know they already have it (acceptance).
These are the ones Jezebel steps all over!!!
They will be devastated when they are rejected.
This carnal promotion process is how Jezebel distorts YHVH’s
character, throwing babies into the fire!
That spirit sure fires me UP! Do you see why the
ATONEMENT is so important? She
gives birth to false religion. She
builds on another foundation that is NOT Yahshua! Moses forfeited the Promise Land because he struck the rock instead of
speaking to it. He used His
authority in harshness when it was not warranted.
This is what men with power do (because we are human).
This
is why this authority NEVER and I mean NEVER takes us into the Most Holy
Place. (Joshua was a
type of Yahshua’s Spirit. He
believed the promises and that they could be obtained by faith/trust.) It is
the HOLY SPIRIT that leads us into ALL truth.
When we come into this place, we will see that we are ONE. There
will always be confirmation
by two or more witnesses. We could
not enter into this Most Holy Place without these witnesses.
They are Spirit and Truth. Law
and Grace. Ephraim and Judah. These
enter the Promise Land. They
witness to the union of the Bride and Bridegroom. If I
were to be forced into this place, it would be the same as rape (spiritually speaking).
I speak this strongly to those who are teaching this to be
YHVH’s choosing with no choice on our part.
This
is very wrong!
The bride of His choosing will be mature, without spot or
wrinkle. She becomes this
way through a journey, process of choosing
His will over her own.
Was Mary forced to give birth to Yahshua?
C’mon people! We
are never forced by a spirit unless it comes from SATAN! Even
Yahshua had a choice in the garden of His death.
HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE; it was never taken from Him. This
was the demonstration of His LOVE for the Father.
Without the choice, it would not have been obedience born
of love and trust. The
first portion of this article was laid as a foundation for this reason.
It shows us the different dimensions we enter into in our
relationship with YHVH. The
word SALVATION is not always referring to ‘soul’ salvation.
The entering of the temple at the cross (bronze altar) is
the beginning. It is clear
in scripture that this is based solely on the receiving of the atonement
Yahshua made on our behalf. By
His shed blood on Calvary, we are saved.
All coming in on equal ground.
No personal favorites! There will however be many destroyed in the tribulation to come because
of where they stand in their ‘hearing’ and ‘obeying’ of the
word. The outer court is
trampled under foot by the Gentiles (those without YHVH).
So it is a time of decision.
(Joshua’s words were, “Choose this day whom you will
serve!”) We
cannot have both the approval of this world and the Most Holy Place.
This is why many are in the valley of decision. We
find our perfect place of belonging IN HIM and not this WORLD!
We are sojourners on this earth.
If we have received conversion only for selfish reasons, this will be
made known in judgment. Many ministers are bringing people into the kingdom for the
purpose of building THEIRS!
These people are not looking for a relationship with their
Creator; they
only want a ticket to heaven and some recognition. And the false church is
happy to oblige them to add another name to their membership list.
They are not discipled by the five-fold ministry, so they remain
as children. We cannot stay
as selfish children and marry Yahshua.
YHVH cannot defend us and be righteous judge if we are in
disobedience to His word. We
must press into maturity. It is only those who enter into the Most Holy Place that will be saved
from the coming temple destruction.
(We have not entered this dimension yet.)
These enter into a marriage covenant with the Bridegroom (and
are sealed by this everlasting covenant).
It is law and grace becoming ONE.
His Torah is His Ketubah (marriage contract). These have been severely tested in their use of authority, use of power
and gifts, and the measure of His love in their hearts.
They are broken and will be used to feed the starving body during
the famine. Their blood
will be poured out as a drink offering to those who thirst.
Their place or position in the temple will be ONLY for YHVH’s
purpose to be fulfilled. They are His life and not their own. Their
call or purpose ‘in Him’ will be known only ‘BY Him.’
They will lay their lives down for the sole purpose of people
coming to know YHVH. There
are many who think they will be in this place because of revelation or
anointing, NO WAY. The
heart will be the important issue (remember the second Adam is born
of spirit first, then flesh). Spirit
AND truth. Without these
two, there is no fullness. If
revelation is being used to exalt oneself spiritually over another, it
becomes spiritual pride. If
grace is used to excuse one’s responsibility in the relationship, it
forfeits the meaning or value of that relationship.
If it is used as a tool of manipulation to do what we want and
still have the blessing of the covenant relationship, it is NOT
HAPPENING in the Most Holy Place...SORRY!
In this state (half-baked), we will never become love, as
He is love. For we cannot
fulfill this love to Him first through obedience and trust. (When we diminish the value of YHVH in our eyes, this will also extend
to our relationships with others who are His Creation.)
The truth will do both a separating and gathering work.
The wheat will be gathered and the tares separated to be burned.
This is why it will be hard to distinguish true
unity. Both of these processes are happening simultaneously. The work of the spirit (grace) will do the same.
Separating those whose motives are selfish.
Those who inwardly desire great positions over the souls of men.
The spirit will separate wrong motives (joints and marrow,
thoughts and intents) and gather together those who have a purpose
of helping others come to KNOW Him.
This was and is Yahshua’s purpose, that we be made ONE with
Him. Some of the teaching I read HONESTLY, I wonder how anyone could think He
wants us to KNOW Him. Some
teaching shows Him to be someone who is not revealing Himself (but to
only a few). It is of
the wrong spirit. It is
demonic! We must not only seek truth, but also the spirit behind the
truth (two witnesses) before we become one with it. When we truly go into the MOST HOLY PLACE, we will see that
we are all ONE (in Him). The
two witnesses (spirit and truth) will be there. We are experiencing some measure of this now, but it will be
amazing when it really happens. All
will tie together for all the pieces go to the same puzzle.
And all will return back to its origin or source, nothing
existing separate! Isn’t
this what Yahshua did? And
why He was so secure in His relationship with the Father that He could
be a true servant? These
chosen ones will be true servants, not kings and queens.
Their headship is Yahshua. The present day temple is out of order. What are we doing placing people in YHVH’s sanctuary who
are without Him? Those who
are not submitted to His headship certainly won’t be in His will.
And we are letting them play GOD in the lives of others. This is a good time to look at this act of Yahshua that should speak
volumes to us. John 13:1-11 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to
the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. And
supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of
Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the
Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come
from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid
aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After
that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples'
feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord,
are You washing my feet?" Jesus
answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand
now, but you will know after this."
Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!"
Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with
Me." Simon Peter said
to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my
head!" Jesus said to
him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is
completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."
For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You
are not all clean." Now, let’s see the prerequisite for what true serving really is.
Yahshua knows He is about love.
And what He will face soon will reveal it in its purest form.
He also knows that YHVH has it all in His hands (purpose).
He knows that He came from YHVH and is returning
TO YHVH.
Do you see the security in that?
It has nothing to do with SELF-esteem.
It has to do with knowing YHVH’s purpose for our lives.
We do not even KNOW ourselves without knowing Him. Our lives are
hidden in HIM (Messiah). It has nothing to do with gifts or anointing or shopping at SAKS!
It has to do with our security in the relationship.
This is not something proven by ambition and greatness (well
God loves me because…). Yahshua’s
greatness extends beyond acts and ministry accomplishments (what He
did). His greatness is in who He is in YHVH —a servant —a Son.
His value is the birthright. The
real treasure is the relationship. By the pouring of the water (symbolic of cleansing with the word)
and the act of washing the feet, Yahshua illustrates what we should do
for one another. This is
His ministry that we are to carry out as His disciples (to those we
know intimately). It
shows a beautiful picture of humility.
He anoints us for this purpose.
The inner court where the Priests performed their duties for the
sanctuary was a blood bath. Only
the blood can cleanse us from sin.
These services were preformed on behalf of the people.
The tabernacle offerings were not only performed for the nation
of Israel, but other nations as well.
But
when we disciple, we are to wash the feet of humanity that lies in each
one of us. We are to go
down where the real filth is and give of ourselves to cleanse and
restore others. We must also be receptive to this ministry to have part with Him.
Be close with someone who knows you after the spirit.
Be real and human with them.
Let them wash the earth (carnality) off of your daily
walk. And you wash the
earth off of them. This
should be a humbling thing to do. This
is a servant who knows who He is that serves in this manner. Who
he is to YHVH goes beyond his station or position in this life. He kneels naturally beneath those he is sent to and does not tower above
them. We are all human.
There is no greater position than that of bringing men to Him in
spirit and truth. The
earthly elements must be cleansed before we can walk and fulfill His
purpose. Only
those secure in the relationship can be used in this cleansing. The
Most Holy Place is the most secure of ALL. Are we pressing into it? There are a few outside writers that I would like to include as a
conclusion to this teaching. Their
statements may be random, but all of what they express ties in with what
we have learned. Just like
puzzle pieces. See each different part as it displays the beautiful array of colors
filling His spectrum of love. In
harmony and balance may we all come into the unity of faith —a
symphony declaring praises to our KING. And
foot washing, in its deepest spiritual meaning, has to do with our
attitude about the dirt we see on our brother or sister. So, I ask you:
What do you do when you're face to face with someone who has fallen into
a sin or transgression? I
believe when Jesus washed the disciples' feet, He was teaching a
profound lesson on how to obtain unity of fellowship in the body of
Christ. As
Jesus approached Peter to wash his feet, the disciple drew back. ."..Peter
saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?" (John 13:6). Peter
asked in astonishment, "Lord, You aren't going to wash my feet, are
You? Never, never!" Jesus
answered, ."..If
I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me" (verse 8). Jesus
was saying, in essence, "Peter, if I wash your feet, we have
precious grounds for fellowship, a basis for true unity." Likewise,
no pastor can bring unity into a church simply by implementing programs
or even by his fiery preaching. No - unity comes from taking up a towel!
After
Jesus washed His disciples' feet, He asked them, "Do you understand
what I have done to you?" If they had understood the spiritual
significance of what He had just done - taking away the stain and guilt
of their sin - it would have produced in them gratitude. I
ask you: What did Jesus do to you when He cleansed you? He wiped away
all your fault and guilt - He cleansed the last remnants of sin - and
you were made clean, whole. He put gratitude, thankfulness, joy in your
soul. He filled you with such love for Him that you would follow Him
anywhere and do anything for Him. All you wanted was communion with Him,
because of what He did for you. Beloved,
that is the secret of unity! When you take up the towel of mercy for a
hurting, fallen brother, you encourage him by embracing him in his hurt
- by submitting in godly fear, washing away his feelings of
worthlessness, anguish and despair, and by loving and caring for him. Yet,
what have you done to that person by washing his feet? You have
constructed a firm foundation for true unity and glorious fellowship.
You are one by your common experience - that is, by being washed by the
water of the Word! (From
Taking Up The Towel, by David Wilkerson) While there
are many different kinds of fellowship, there is spiritual fellowship,
which is much more than the exchange of ideas and opinions. It is the
interaction of spirits. This kind of fellowship is possible only after
our outward man is shattered and our spirit is thus released to touch
the spirit of others. In this sharing of spirit we experience the
fellowship of the saints and understand what the Scriptures mean by
"fellowship in the spirit." It truly is a fellowship in the
spirit, and not an interflow of ideas. By this fellowship in the spirit
we can pray with one accord. Because many pray through their mind,
independent of their spirit, it is hard for them to find another with
the same mind who can pray in accord with them. If you desire
to be used by God, sooner or later you will let the light shine upon
you. You will turn to Him and say: "O God, I am absolutely
unreliable. I do not know whom I am accusing, nor what sin I am
confessing. Only in Thy light am I able to know." Before you
receive enlightenment you may say you are a sinner, but you lack a
sinner's contrition; you may think you hate yourself, but you have no
real sense of self-abhorrence; you may say you deny yourself, but the
feeling of abnegation is missing. Once the light comes, the surface
covering is pulled away and the "real" or "original"
is revealed. What an unveiling to see I only love myself; to see I am
deceived, and cheating the Lord; to see I do not love Him. This light
shows you what you are and what you have been doing. Henceforth you will
have the inner knowledge of what belongs to self. Without this judgment
by the light, you cannot even imitate, but now as the light of God
judges, spirit and soul are divided; imitation is impossible. (From
The Release of the Spirit by Watchman Nee) The cross of Christ, a life to live,
Then to each other, this love they can give. This is the love that conquers, it is pure gold,
A love not known, and has not as yet been told. A love that gives to another’s needs,
And forgets itself, and for what it pleads. A love so sure, there is nothing it can’t cure,
If
we will just submit to the redemption that makes us pure. It is the one and only great love that emancipates, The only one lost is
he who hesitates. It will end all of the world’s woes, From our heads, down
to our toes. For the darkness cannot stand this light,
It is the love it hates, as it makes everything right. This love will bring forth the darkness’s destruction,
Causing what is known as instantaneous combustion. The earth being purged by love’s all consuming fire,
Ridding this world of all the muck, and the mire. Before this love, nothing can stand,
This will be the final end of Satan, and his wicked band!!! (From
a Poem called ‘The Final Solution’ by Larry Meguair) Our Lord's Prayer for
His People's Sanctification -- John 17:17 Furthermore,
our Lord Jesus Christ was about to pray "that they all might be
one;" and for this desirable result holiness is needed. Why are we
not one? Sin is the great dividing element. The perfectly holy would be
perfectly united. The more saintly men are, the more they love their
Lord and one another; and thus they come into closer union with each
other. Our errors and our sins are roots of bitterness, which spring up
and trouble us, and many are defiled. Our infirmities of judgment are
aggravated by our imperfections of character, and our walking at a
distance from our God; and these breed coldness and lukewarmness, out of
which grow disunion and division, sects and heresies. If we were all
abiding in Christ to the full, we should abide in union with each other
and with God, and our Lord's great prayer for the unity of his church
would be fulfilled. Moreover,
our Lord finished his most comprehensive prayer by a petition that we
might all be with him-with him where he is, that we may behold his
glory. Full sanctification is essential to this. Shall the unsanctified
dwell with Christ in heaven? Shall unholy eyes behold his glory? It
cannot be. How can we participate in the splendour and triumphs of the
exalted Head if we are not members of his body? And how can a holy head
have impure and dishonest members? No, brethren, we must be holy, for
Christ is holy. Uprightness of walk and cleanness of heart are
absolutely requisite for the purposes of Christian life, whether here or
hereafter. Those who live in sin are the servants of sin; only those who
are renewed by the Holy Ghost unto truth, and holiness, and love, can
hope to be partakers of holy joys and heavenly bliss. I
am compelled by shortness of time to be brief upon each point; but I
must dwell for a little upon the third subject of consideration, which
is this-TO WHOM THIS PRAYER IS DIRECTED. "Sanctify them through thy
truth" John 17:17. No one can sanctify a soul but Almighty God, the
great Father of spirits. He who made us must also make us holy, or we
shall never attain that character. Our dear Saviour calls the great God
"Holy Father" in this prayer, and it is the part of the holy
God to create holiness; while a Holy Father can only be the Father of
holy children, for like begets like. To you that believe in Jesus he
gives power to become the sons of God, and a part of that power lies in
becoming holy according to the manner and character of our Father who is
in heaven. As we are holy, so do we bear the image of that Lord from
heaven who, as the second man, is the firstborn to whom the many
brethren are conformed? The holy Father in heaven will own those as His
children upon earth who are holy. The very nature of God should
encourage us in our prayers for holiness; for He will not be slow to
work in us to will and to do according to His perfect will. (From
a sermon by Charles Spurgeon) Neither
pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me
through their word; The prayer reaches out
to include those who will believe because of the testimony of these men
(cf. John 10:16; Acts 18:10). Faith is the necessary condition for
enjoying the life of God and therefore of coming into that unity which
is found first of all in the Godhead and then in the body of Christ, the
Church. The unity is basically personal - in us. Its effect will be to
elicit faith on the part of those in the world (cf. John 13:35). 22. The
glory. Doubtless this points to the ultimate heavenly position of the
Church, but it includes the privilege of serving and suffering, just as
the Father bestowed this commission on the Son. This privilege helps to
unify the saints as it is exercised in the light of Christ our
forerunner within the veil. 23. Made perfect in one. To be accomplished
not by human effort, but by the gracious extension of the unity of the
Godhead to those who belong to Christ. This is not a mechanical unity.
Its cement is the love of God bestowed on men, that same love (marvelous
to relate) which the Father has for the Son. (Wycliff
Bible Commentary) When
will we ever get it?! Actually,
I know the answer, IN THE GREAT TRIBULATION!
When I was talking to my dear friend Darlene the other day, it
all hit me like a brick! It
was like a great light came on . . . you see, law and grace, spirit and
truth, Moses and Elijah, Judah and Ephraim (the two houses of Israel),
ALL TWO WITNESSES! It takes
two witnesses to confirm a matter!
These are all basically synonymous with one another!
The enemy is fighting with every weapon he has been given in
order to keep this message of unity coming forth!
Once people have the understanding of the aforementioned “two
witnesses”, they have the “key” to overcoming!
True
unity will come as a result of hearing and understanding these TRUTHS
with one’s “heart”
not one’s “head”. Head
knowledge will not tear down the kingdom of darkness, only HEART
knowledge! And this kind of
knowledge comes by the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit of Yah, His SET
APART SPIRIT. True unity
will never become a reality until the heart of these messages become one
with our hearts FIRST! We
have so many obstacles, the major being PRIDE. . . old Jezebel uses that
one to keep her foot on Yah’s people. . . But not for long, because
pride comes before the fall. If we do not submit ourselves to His
judgments (and that is done through Torah, which I will explain later
in a little more detail) then He will step in and bring us down from
our pedestals, our ivory towers, and judge us however He sees fit!
The second will hurt much, much more than if we CHOOSE to fall on
the rock. (And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but
on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder – Matthew
21:44) Then, the choice
that is made will be final. . . follow Yah or follow Baal.
That final choice will determine your destiny and sad to say,
many will continue on to follow the ways of the world.
Law
and Grace seem to be the hardest for people to grasp, because of the
false teachings of man that have been so instilled in us . . .”WE NO
LONGER NEED THE LAW, WE ARE UNDER GRACE!”
“The Law was done away with when “JESUS” was crucified!”
“The LAW or the TORAH was for the JEWS and not for us!”
and on and on and on. . . ALL
LIES FROM THE FATHER OF LIES! Just
coming out of Babylon is not the answer.
We cannot stop there. We
cannot sit in one place with nowhere to turn!
It is pride that keeps us from the TRUTH.
Humility is the key to understanding these Truths that are being
revealed to us. . . and it is an on-going process!
More and more revelation of the Word is coming and will continue
to come, for we only know in part! The truth of Law and Grace is
foundational to understanding our destiny in Yahshua.
From my own experience, I was TOLD by man that all I needed to do
was to confess that I was a sinner and accept “Jesus” into my heart
that I would be saved and all would be OK and I was on my way to heaven!
Little did I know the battles that would lie ahead!
For you see, I only knew GRACE. . .
Then after many years of searching I came into my Hebraic roots.
. . and began to understand about the “Law” (that I had been
taught had been done away with).
I found out that Yahshua did not come to do away with or
“abolish” the law, but came to “fulfill or complete” the law (HIS
VERY OWN WORDS)! It is
important to do a study on the meanings of these words!
Yahshua came to correctly interpret the Torah!
It is His grace that keeps me from eternal damnation!
If I choose not to follow His commandments, I am missing out on
the blessing of the covenant! (And the “church” has perverted
that one too!) The thing that we seem to be missing most here is that Yahshua said if we LOVE Him, WE WILL KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS! If He became the LIVING WORD, the LIVING TORAH, and we love Him, then we will love the TORAH! You see, the Torah is the WORD and the WORD was made flesh and dwelt among us! I am not talking about keeping a bunch of rules and regulations, for the Torah has been written upon our hearts! It is the SPIRIT that enables us to walk out the instructions and teachings of our Father! This GRACE alone teaching has kept us from “knowing” our Father! We have only one witness!! We do not have an intimate relationship with our Father!! NOT ONE OF US!!! We have claimed that we know Yahshua, but HE WAS ONE WITH THE FATHER! So it would certainly seem that if we do not embrace the TORAH, we do not really KNOW HIM! So
the question is and it is a hard one, DO WE REALLY LOVE HIM?
And if so, just HOW MUCH? Enough
to become His Bride? The
choice is ours! We must all
examine ourselves and ask just how much we love Him!!!! Only those who
love Him enough to keep His commandments will become His Bride, will
enter into the Holy of Holies, the Bridal Chambers!
This is where the two become ONE!
I am only speaking of “intimacy” here.
A man and a woman can get married, live together and be called
husband and wife from the outside!
But if they have never consummated the marriage by becoming one
flesh in the bridal chambers, there is NO intimacy!!
Intimacy takes place when the two become ONE flesh!
This is when the marriage becomes what it was intended to be, the
covenant is sealed, between the two!!!
BECAUSE YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER, you become OBEDIENT to each other!!
Yahweh’s
Torah is His marriage contract with us, His covenant with His people (ALL
ISRAEL, JUDAH AND EPHRAIM). We
are that husband and wife who have gotten married, but have never become
one flesh! Everything
appears to be right on the outside looking in, but something is
dreadfully missing!!! What
is missing is our embracing the Torah (and Judah embracing Yahshua)!
Once we embrace Torah (and Judah embraces Messiah,) the two will
become one!! The two houses
will come together as His BRIDE, the one new man!!!
The Torah is a mirror. . . when you peer into it at the
beginning, you only see yourself in that false image that has led you in
the ways of the world and it is SO hard to let go of all of the false
teachings, the LIES of Babylon! But
as you continue to search and come into the TRUTH, begin to follow the
teaching and instructions that HE GAVE TO YOU, you will begin to see
change take place (and HE is doing a quick work). You
will begin to see yourself in the image that He created you in, HIS
IMAGE!! It takes both the
Torah (LAW) and the shed blood of Yahshua (GRACE) to enter the bridal
chambers. We must get past
the way the word LAW that has been so misused by the false shepherds and
open ourselves up to the teachings of our Hebraic roots (embrace our
brother Judah). Salvation
is NOT based upon keeping the commandments. Keeping the commandments is
an outward sign of our LOVE for Yahshua.
The commandments are our guidelines for knowing right from wrong!
Yahweh’s commandments are HIS LOVE FOR US, that are to guard
and protect us. They will
protect us in these last days, as they purify and cleanse us from the
filthiness of the ways of the world!
Yahshua is the key that opens the door to becoming ONE with the
FATHER. There will be many
who will choose not to go “ALL THE WAY” with Him, which will prove
that the love of the Father was not in them; but if you are to be an
overcomer, law and grace WILL come together within you.
It is our choice. Yahshua
warned against false prophets, and said that many would call Him Lord,
Lord, and say they prophesied in His name, cast out devils in His name,
and did many wonderful works in His name. But He will profess to them
that He never knew them, to depart from Him, that work iniquity.
He is speaking of lawlessness here, those who disregarded His
commands (His TORAH)! Yahshua
and His Father are ONE. He
is looking for true worshippers, who will worship in SPIRIT AND IN
TRUTH! The House of Israel is currently divided (Judah and
Ephraim). Only when we
embrace one another and repent from our idolatry, from following other
gods and our repent from the way that we have treated one another, and
come weeping in sackcloth and ashes, will the two become one again
forever! THIS IS WHERE THE INTIMACY will take place and the marriage will become consummated! We are on our way to becoming ONE with Him!! IT IS A PROCESS!!! We must remember that we can only enter through the BLOOD of Yahshua! That is why our brother Judah cannot enter. . . they have Torah but not MESSIAH! We cannot enter the bridal chambers because we do not have TORAH, although we have Messiah! It is the blood of Yahshua that is the testimony to the marriage! In Jewish culture, the man’s garment called the tallit or the prayer shawl was used in the bridal chambers as the covering during the consummation of the marriage, during intercourse. If the tallit did not become stained with blood, he had not married a virgin. When Yahshua returns with His BRIDE from the bridal chambers, He will be clothed in a tallit dipped in blood. . . the testimony of the marriage to His VIRGIN BRIDE! OH how I long to be that bride! (From
‘Law and Grace, The Marriage’ by Janet Rexroat) John
17:1-18:1 17:1
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said:
"Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also
may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that
He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this
is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have
finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father,
glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You
before the world was. 6
"I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out
of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept
Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me
are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given
Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth
from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. 9 I pray for them. I
do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they
are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am
glorified in them. 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in
the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those
whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. 12 While I was
with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me
I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that
the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these
things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in
themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them
because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I
do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You
should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just
as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is
truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the
world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be
sanctified by the truth. 20 "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will
believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You,
Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that
the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave
Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in
them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the
world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have
loved Me. 24 Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be
with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given
Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous
Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these
have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name,
and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may
be in them, and I in them." From Yahshua, Our Messiah —the Anointed One. |
