Behold a door: Part 1

Dear Beloved Readers,

As I have been waiting upon the Lord and spending time meditating on His word and the teachings of the Spiritual Father and Mothers who have prepared a way for us to see the Lord's desires in this hour and spiritual preparation that we need to do to be ready to be a Bride, I feel it is of utmost importance that amidst the busyness of everything around us, that we don't miss the upward calling of the Lord found in Rev. 4:1," Come up here, so I can show you the things that are to come."

In Rev 3: Jesus is standing in the church that is now present at the end of the church age. The church at large is pretty closed to his knock, for the say, "they are rich and in need of nothing" yet the don't see their true spiritual condition, poor, blind, and naked. This marks a life of a spiritually immaturity content with being "rich and in need of nothing."

Today's prosperity gospel is a witness to this very heart and condition in the church today. That is why Jesus is knocking and saying, "if any man will hear my voice." The "majority" of the church is not able to hear, so he is looking for the individuals that will hear, "if any man hear my voice, I will come in and sup with him and him with me."

Notice there are no more churches that Jesus speaks to in Rev. 3 after Laodecia. There is no where else to go. She has come to end of her time for going forward, so a call comes from Chapter 4:1, Come up here! The Lord told me this was the "anointing of the moment." (I have written a book under this title that you can give a donation for on our resource page) A place of transition from one place in time to another.

Notice, the church is not called to go forward, but UP! The cry of the Lord is from an open door now in heaven. When John looks up in the Spirit, He beholds a door open in heaven and a voice crying,  "Come up here!" This cry is to those who will hear that will overcome the desire for the earthly life to the true spiritual life for the mature.

Notice, there is no where else to go but up. This represents the place the over comers that God is preparing for them to come into. Another name for overcomers is the Bride of the Lord, the Man-Child, Sons of God. This company of prepared ones are about to experience what it truly means to be "seated in heavenly places" with Christ. This Bride, Sons, Overcomers, or Man-Child will become the wheel within a wheel found in Ezekiel Chapter 1. How do we know this?

Notice ,the first thing John sees in Rev. 4 is a door open in heaven, then a voice, and then the purpose of the call, "to show him the things to come, and then he sees the very throne of God? Each one of these represents a spiritual place of revelation in which these overcomers will be changed from one degree of glory to another. It is a progressive revelation of Glory, each part changing us within as we progress in our growth on the way up. It is revealed to him first by looking up, then he sees a door, then he hears a voice, and then He sees the throne.

These are 4 specific works of God in us that I will explain in more detail in other blogs.  These 4 prophetic directions represents the working of the Holy Spirit that is necessary now to release the true kingdom authority or the rule of our Lord Jesus Christ in those that are being prepared. The first is the ability to see the doorway opened. The second to hear the voice, "come up here."

The third, "I will show you the things that will come after." The fourth, And Behold there was a throne standing in heaven." The fourth represents the Bride/Son spiritual position along with our Lord for His end time purposes. This is where the wheel within a wheel will come forth.

Beloved, we must see the door open in heaven and hear that we are called to come up so Jesus can have complete rule and authority over our life. He is to be the mature head connected to a mature body that we must become. As we allow the Lord to come in and "sup with us" we will be lifted up into that maturity that the Lord has always desired of us.

If He were to come down now and connect to his church, he would be a full grown head on a baby body. There is so much immaturity in the church and luke warmness.  That it would be foolish for him to come now and be connected with us, and make him a laughing stock to the world. So the Lord's plan before coming down is for us to "go up!" "Come up here and I will show you the things to come."

This picture of the door, the voice, the call to come up to see the things to come, ends with John seeing the throne of God himself. The Lord spoke to me that "what you see is what you get." This beholding the throne and all that John is about to see, is the finishing work that the Lord is about to do in His Bride. He will do this in all those who will be drawn up with John into this heavenly place.

I encourage you to donate for the book "The anointing of the moment" where I can explain this more in depth. For now, we must know that business as usual for the church must change. We must begin to look up and see the Door opened in heaven. This will take a great work of the Holy Spirit because we are so used to looking only at what is in front of us.

This coming up spiritually is pictured when Jesus took Peter, James and John out from the 12 to go up the mountain where He will transfigure before them. He is about to show them the "greater Glory that is to fill God's temple. Does not the scripture say, "Know ye not ye are the temple of the living God." Jesus takes them up physically to a high mountain to reveal to us a practical picture of Rev. Chapter 4.

What did Jesus do? He brought them upward to the "top of the mountain" where He transfigured before them. Then they saw but didn't understand God's end time purpose as Jesus spoke with Moses and Elijah. This conversation with these two men of God was not a show, it was a place. A place where God would reveal to those prepared His end time plans and purpose.

This takes place at the end of the church age and the beginning of the Kingdom age. A period of transition from one kingdom age to another. The Word of God says in Mark chapter 9 verse 2, "After six days (Six days after this AMP),  Jesus took Peter, James and John up to a high mountain." This is a prophetic picture of  our Lord  calling His Bride to come up to be seated with Him in heavenly places.

This calling up begins after 6 days!Peter writes in 2nd Peter 3:8, "that with the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years as a day." Beloved it has been 6000 years from Adam until now. We are now in the season of after 6 days and the beginning of the 7th day. Again, I write about this in my book. Why does he call them up after 6 days? So He can show them the things to come!

Is that not what Jesus is doing as he stands talking to Moses and Elijah ? Is that not what He wants to share with His Bride, His Sons, His Overcomers. Notice he only took 3 disciples out of the 12! That is such a prophetic picture for us in this hour. It is prophetic because it show us that many are called, but few will pay the price to be chosen. These three were selected out of the 12 to show us God's end time working and preparation of those being ready to go up into Rev 4:1's reality.

Notice in church History, these three apostles were the founding pillars in establishing God's church on earth along with the Apostle Paul. James, Peter and John were the corner stones that Jesus built the church upon. These individuals being called us as the Bride, Sons, or Overcomers are being drawn out as well in this hour of the church to be "pillars in the temple of my God to help "finish building in the church" in glory and power greater than the day of Pentecost! This company of believers will have not only the former rain, but the former and latter rain.

There is so much God wants to reveal to us in this hour that we must have to make it. My concern is that many in the church are so preoccupied with the "earthly things" our own needs, our own desires, making money to live, or even doing their ministry, that they could "miss" this upward call. The call to come up is to every single believer of our Lord Jesus Christ. But not everyone will look up or hear His voice I am afraid to say.

God does not chose one believer over the other. The choice is on our part whether we will hear Him knocking on the door of our heart ,and let Him sup with us as found in Rev. Chapter 3. If we do we will truly sup and be intimate with us. If we do our spiritual faculties will grow so we can see the door and hear the call to come up here and become all God desires us to be!

This call has to be contended fall and given first place in our life, Matthew 6:33. Seek ye first. It can't be sought after 2nd or 100th. It must be sought after like Gold and Silver. The word to the church in Laodecia is to buy the Gold tried by the fire, to get eye salve for their eyes and a white garment to cover their nudity. We must change and be like the wise virgins and buy the extra oil for our lamps so at the midnight hour we can go out and meet Him.

This message I am bringing speaks of a deep need for us to come out from amongst not just the world, but the present church system, to get the extra oil the wise virgins got. You can't get this by attending just meetings or services, you can only get this by spending quality time with our Lord in His Manifest Presence and contending for an open heaven over your life.

It is work, but is our first work he spoke to the church at Ephesus, Returning to our first love and doing our first work. May we not stop now! May we not allow the cares of the world and deceitfulness of riches choke the word of God out of our lives!

Jesus said, "I stand at the door and knock, and if anyone hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in and sup with him and him with me." Notice at the end of the church age, Jesus is standing on the outside trying to get back into the place of intimacy He desires with His church. But the church age is now about to close. The call is no longer to the "church at Ephesus, Laodecia." It is to you and me!

 The call and the knock is for individuals, the Peter, James and Johns. It is a personal call to those that "have an ear to hear." May we be found with a hearing ear, a willing heart and a desire to look up and see the Door standing open in heaven and participate with Him as full grown Sons and Daughters of the Lord.

I will be writing more to you about this in the days to come!
