What Is The New Alignment of the New Man

Col 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Receiving Christ is the word “paralambano”

Lambano is to physically get something, possessing something and making it our very own. Our American “receive' is a mental ascent..its just lip service. The “receiving” of the Bible says “Hey baby, this is all mine!” This must be the breakthrough that we get into our new identity who is Christ. We must not give up until the old man like Jack in Titanic ( Leo De Caprio) finally sinks dead, and out of sight in the cold Atlantic waters. This is the first breakthrough. This is called to break free Then Christ must be fully grabbed, put on like brand new clothes

7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Here is our new identity. The “rooted” is in the perfect tense. This means that once and for all we must be and remain firmly rooted, hooked into, and receive all our vitality and nutrients from the New Man Christ. Our identity must be totally conformed into and around this New Man. This is the second breakthrough. Graham Cooke calls the first breakthrough breaking free. He calls the second breakthrough, staying free.

The built and stablished are in the present tense. This describes a continuing and progressive work. Once that our identity gets hooked into the new man, then this new man, must continually be built in our lives from day to day. Its like building a massive skyscraper on the Miami skyline from day to day until its fully built.

The “stablished” is the word steerizo which is something massive, firm, stable, strong, “iron like”, unshakable and immovable.

This is the completion of our new identity. Ever last thing that we must do must align with our new identity. Much of this new identity is revealed through the study of God's word. This is why we must be students of God's word.

We Must Live Out of Fullness and Not Out of Need

Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Dwelleth, is defined as something which abides in comfort and rest.... such as being “at home.”
The world fullness is the word pleroma.

Fullness, is defined as the identity which makes something to be what it is in this universe different from something else. Fulness are all of the ingredients and attributes which make up an object and make it different to any other object. Christ IS ALL of the attributes and ingredients which makes God to be God, comfortably dwelling in us. He then has the ability to make God visible or manifested to us and in us. This is what it means “the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Verse 10 literally means, that you are completely filled with this fullness of God in you, once and for all eternity.

We do not come from a position of having to get the victory. The victory has already been won. It must simply be revealed. We must live from the position of having the won victory revealed in us.

We do not come from a position of having to get the riches of God. We already have all the riches. They simply need to be revealed.

Likewise, our identity as the fullness of God completely formed. dispersed, and filled within us must be simply revealed by our asking God. We must learn to live out of a position and alignment that all that we need, all the victories, and all of the riches, have been already completely given to us, and we are already filled with them and they remain full in us forevermore. What we need is revelation, not more things.

Eph 1:3 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

The words “who hath blessed us” are in the accusative case which is the grammatical case of effect or a final goal. For simplicity's sake let me say that the goal or the funneling power of all of God's blessings is the church. You and I are the receptacle. God has funneled all that He is and all that He has into us. Every fullness and completion of every blessing, and riches ,and benefits have already been funneled into you and me. We are in a state of being completely full, and satiated and saturated with all that we need. We just need to get tons of revelation. This is our new identity and this is what we must align every imagination and thought with. We must operate out of a state of fulness.

This is the second breakthrough, to be molded into this new man.

Ro 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

The Good Measure, Pressed Down, Shaken Together & Running Over Anointing

Lu 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

During our prayer meeting last night I realized that the “good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over,” is an anointing that we can enter in, receive, and operate in, if we are givers by the Spirit of God.

You need to get into the habit of continually sowing by the rhema word of God to see the experiential reality of this. I must confess that I have not seen this because, I am not a great sower. Yes, I give, but I still have fear and I still count my chickens before they hatch, so to speak, when it comes to money. Yet, God revealed this to me and I am excited, and at the same time a bit fearful, which I know it’s not from the Lord. 


Give, and it shall be given unto you; Is in the present tense. We must be giving so that it is given back.

Pressed down, and shaken together; are both in the perfect, passive participle order. This grammatical combination is the most powerful indication of existence, realm, state, or reality in the Greek. In other words, if you are an active sower, the reality or the anointing surrounding your life will be one where God is giving back to you in a manner where blessings are being pressed together and shaken or sifted so He can give you more. This will become your natural mode of living.

The running over or overflowing is in the present signifying a continuous process.

How would you like to live in this mode of receiving from the Lord, and I am not just talking about money. This is God's natural way of being. God is a God of infinite abundance that must be entered into by ever increasing faith on our part. Our hindrance is our unrenewed mind.

Where Christ Is

Col 3:1  If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, WHERE THE CHRIST IS, on the right hand of God seated,

AW Robertson, the great Greek scholar calls this, “the condition of the first class;” or as something that is assumed as being true. Paul, as he wrote this assumes that you and I are endeavoring to live WHERE THE CHRIST IS. In other words, our reality must be that we have risen with Christ from the dead. Since Christ lives up in heaven, we must live where He lives.

Joh 14:3 And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.

Ph3: 20 (AV) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

The kingdom of heaven is a future paradigm as well as it is a present one. Though physically we live on the earth our life is up in heaven. We are transformed by what is called the “reckoning of faith.”

Rom 4:9 ¶ Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

Reckoning simply means that what we believe about the Word and receive it, which in the Greek means to make it into our own and to walk in it, it then manifests physically through our lives. The whole Christian life is one of believing first spiritually the position that we have in Christ. What we have believed then becomes physically manifested in this world. This is because faith is a law.

Rom 3:27 Where then is the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:

We must reckon from the things which are in heaven and not on earth, WHERE THE CHRIST IS.

Ph3: 20 (AV) For our conversation IS in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

“IS in heaven” Paul does not use the simple word for “IS” in this scripture but uses the word “Huparcho”, which speaks about belongings and possessions. Simply speaking, our reality, our mode of being and thus our behaving and all of our possessions are found WHERE THE CHRIST IS.

Phil 3:21 who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.

The Greek says' Who will change the schematics of the body of our humiliation so that it can adopt the same form of the body of His glory. Whereas form has to do with inward change, schematic is more so seen in the outward physical changes, tangible to the 5 senses. In the ploys of the enemy we see many outward and visible transformations, to the physical senses of people. This is why the world gets so easily deceived by what devil brings through our physical senses.

2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves (SCHEMATIC) into the apostles of Christ.

2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed (SCHEMATIC) into an angel of light.

2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed (SCHEMATIC) as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Php 3:21 Who shall change (SCHEMATIC) our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body ( THE BODY OF HIS GLORY), according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Rom 12:2 And be not conformed (SCHEMATIC) to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

It is amazing then that Paul in Philippians 3:21 can that that the more that we live out of our heavenly possessions, even the schematic of our physical bodies can begin to experience transformational change son this side of heaven through miraculous healing and so forth.

”According to the working of his power”; Literally :According to the energy of His being able. As I taught yesterday, dunamis power is power in ability or success. The energy inside Christ makes all things able.The more that we live WHERE THE CHRIST IS the more that we will see all things being made able.

Rom 12:2 And be not conformed (SCHEMATIC) to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

We see the same word for schematic also in Romans 12:2
Literally:
Do not assume the schematic of this present age dispensation but be metamorphosized by the renewing of your minds....then you will be able to know the good and acceptable and mature will of God.

When we are reckoning every possession, every behavior and even every thought from the place WHERE THE CHRIST IS, Christ truly puts off our old man. The schematic of our whole life and even our body progressively changes.

2 Cor 3L18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed ( METAMORPHOSIS) into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

The open face is in one which has nothing to hide. It talks about total obedience and total openness to the Lord. The perfect tense of this grammatical structure describes a permanent state. Paul assumes that as believers we live in a continual state of obedience and openness to our Lord.

“Beholding as in a glass” Literally means “down looking” This is a word for a mirror. The more intently that we gaze at our appearance in a mirror, the more that we will see and depict and analyze our own reflection.

The more that we dwell in the place WHERE THE CHRIST IS the more we will be down looking ( intently focusing) at the place where His transcendental glory dwells , the more that we will be able to capture the reflection of His glory and the more that we will be metamorphosied into the BODY OF HIS GLORY.

These things can more definitely commence to happen now, here on earth.

Everything has to do with intensity of our focus to live in the place WHERE THE CHRIST IS.

Let the Accused of the Lord Say So!

Eph 1:3 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us (ACCUSATIVE CASE) with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

In the Greek, the accusative case is just what it says. The accusing finger points towards an object that will receive all judgment, sentence, or wrath. It’s a repository into where all is focused towards, pointed to, our poured out into.

If we turn this into to something good, the object, placed in the grammatical accusative case, is the one to whom all benefits are dedicated to.

The church in Ephesians 1:3,  is the accused object to whom all of God's love, blessings, benefits, all that He is, and all the He wants to do,  has His big finger pointed at. In today’s technical language, the church is God’s dedicated or isolated line. I call the church (that’s you and me), the container which God funnels all into, and which He pours all abundantly upon.  

 It’s up to us to increase our ability to receive more, and more, and more in proportion to a mind that is renewed to think in impossibilities, transcendentally and without limitations.

We are the objects of His love, we have been translated into kingdom of The Son, of His Love, and we are His beloved. 

You think about that today.

What Are Miracles?

1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations <1755>, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

1Co 12:10 To another the working <1755> of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

Working or operations are the visible completed manifestations, results, or things effected to the human eye of what has has been energized or worked into a person by the Holy Spirit through prayer or decrees. This is also called a miracle. Strong's number 1755 only appears twice in the the whole Bible. It is the word “energematon” or the completed, tangible and visible result of what has been activated or energized inwardly by the Spirit of the living God.

There is a faith level which our renewed mind will begin to operate in to see physical manifestation happen. 


God has already provided the “energematon”. Its our faith level that needs to get to that point.

You Are A Dispenser of God's Healing Medicines

1 Cor 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
the gifts of healing - “ Charismata iamaton”

The more powerful word for healing in the NT is the word “iaomai”. Apart from a gradual healing this word talks more about a cure.

In 1Cor 12:9 Paul uses the word “iamaton” which only appears three times in the whole Bible. “Iamaton” is a noun and instead of dealing with the curing of a person as a verb, it basically describes the medicine (noun) that effected the cure.

When you are praying for people realize that when the Lord uses you in healing your are dispensing through your hands the medicines of God to effect the cure. Its all a matter of faith.

When you are operating in the gifts of cures or “curing medicines” you must operated in a faith level to know that the person will be cured because you are releasing the perfect spiritual medicine.

Existence

Ex 7:15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned <02015> to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand. 

Ex 7:17 Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned <02015> to blood. 

Ex 7:20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned <02015> to blood.

Hebrew Word 02015 (haphak)

1a) (Qal) Active Simple Verb
1a1) to overturn, overthrow
1a2) to turn, turn about, turn over, turn around
1a3) to change, transform

1b) (Niphal) Passive ( Singnifying change of realm or reality)
1b1) to turn oneself, turn, turn back
1b2) to change oneself
1b3) to be perverse
1b4) to be turned, be turned over, be changed, be turned against
1b5) to be reversed
1b6) to be overturned, be overthrown
1b7) to be upturned

1c) (Hithpael) ( Reflexive – Action back upon itself)
1c1) to transform oneself
1c2) to turn this way and that, turn every way
1d) (Hophal) to turn on someone

One of the great works of the Holy Spirit working through our spirits in the ministry of signs and wonders is the anointing to turn one existence into another. Moses working by the voice of the Holy Spirit transformed realms of realities and even the historical existence of what was going in Egypt. The waters of the Nile being changed into blood, radically altered the historical realities and paradigms of life in Egypt. All of this occurred through the spirit of one man, as the Holy Spirit worked through the spirit of Moses. 

Some might say that the Holy Spirit did not dwell in Moses. If this is true, how much more can the Holy Spirit work through our spirits today? The bottom line is that within our spirit we have the power to alter existences and realities and transform circumstances, all by the rhema word , faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Much of the work of God is to cause new realities and paradigms to “become”. This is the power of our spirit when indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Apply that to your life, your family’s life, and your country. The anointing is already in you. What can you do today as God works through your spirit? You need to press into it by your own transformation first, much of it which happens by the renewing of your mind.
You think of that today!

What Is Our Core Indentity

Who Are We?

The Strong's Word (EK) # 1537 is one of the shortest of all New Testament words and yet one of the most significant ones. This preposition is found more the 700 times in the pages of our NT.

It is the word “out of/ out from”.

“EK” is defined as the source from where something originates from. It talks about conception, impregnation, the original seed and root. It talks about core identity, essence, or being. It talks about inheritance, DNA and chromosomal strands.

The baby whom is birthed from an original embryo, which was created by the union of a sperm and egg, carries with him the DNA traits brought by that sperm and the egg. This is the identity and the very attributes of the child which will mold and define him for the rest of his days.

Mr 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of <1537> thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

Literally the Greek says …”Beginning from this very moment on and going into the endlessness of eternity let not man eat fruit ( EK) from or out of you as a specific tree.

As Jesus speaks these words of faith, He curses the fig tree by telling it that out of its core identity and DNA as a unique and a specific tree on the earth, no more fruit would ever grow out of it. Jesus cursed the whole process of fruit bearing by adversely altering the core identity of the tree, and all by faith.

It is vital for us to know and walk in core identity. What is our roots? From whom and where are we conceived? What is our genealogy? What is our identity? What is the chromosomal strands of our DNA?

These are vital questions, because we receive and manifest out from ( EK) our core identity in accordance to, or what is specified and regulated by our faith.

Faith is a law. A law tells us that under specific circumstances , specific result will always take place.

Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Because faith is a law, our faith will determine what we will or not obtain.

The scriptures which follow, all penned by the Apostle John are highly important because they fully define our true conception, our seed and root, our DNA and our core identity AS GOD SEES IT, not us. These then are all instances of the word ( EK # 1537)

Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of <1537> blood, nor of <1537> the will of the flesh, nor of <1537> the will of man, but of <1537> God.

1Jo 3:9 Whosoever is born of <1537> God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of < 1537> God.

1Jo 4:4 Ye are of <1537> God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1Jo 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of <1537> God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of <1537> him.

1Jo 5:4 For whatsoever is born of <1537> God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Lets further look at Christ Jesus's core identity in the next scripture out of Hebrews.

Heb 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

The literal Greek says, “ void of a father, void of a mother, void of any family genealogical trees, being void of any moment or any beginning in which He was physically conceived, and now in possession of an endless life.

This is the identity of Christ Jesus , the resurrected Christ who lives in us. Because we are dead and Christ now lives in us, this is is also our core identity.

We must once and for all do away with the (EK) that even as believers we still live out of. Our identity is still tied into our earthy genealogies. We are still tied into the sicknesses and diseases that have been passed down our earthy family lines.

We ( EK) out of the pain of the past, the sins of our parents, the dysfunctionalities of this world system. Because faith is a law we continue to receive from a seed, a root system and an origin that we have no more business dealing with. We remain in bondage because of this.

Our conception now is God. The old root with its sicknesses and diseases has been pulled out. The seed of our birth, with the pain and sins of our parents, has been effectively removed from our soil.

We stand replanted, re conceived , re-generated and recreated out of and from (God) Himself.

Our core identity is the fullness of His wholeness, His freedom, and every bit of His transcendental glory, power and incorruptible life fully integrated into us. Every chromosomal trait of God is in us.

Spiritually speaking at this moment we are void of a father, void of a mother, void of any family genealogical trees, being void of any moment in which which we were physically conceived, and in possession of an endless life.

We need to restart our lives in the ground which is free from sickness and bondage from inherited maladies and the influences of the paradigms of this present world system. We need a new seed and a new root. We need a new DNA.

Look at the next scriptures and the word (EK). This is our core identity.

Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of <1537> blood, nor of <1537> the will of the flesh, nor of <1537> the will of man, but of <1537> God.

Joh 3:6 That which is born of <1537> the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of <1537> the Spirit is spirit.

1Co 15:47 The first man is of <1537> the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from <1537> heaven.

Joh 1:16 And of <1537> his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.

Mt 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on <1537> the right hand of power ( dunamis power- power in ability.. power to succeed and to obtain results) <1411>, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Matthew 26:64 above tells us that by faith we live out of (EK) our core identity which has been regenerated to operste every powerful success obtaining ability we do in accordance to God.

We must immediately cooperate with God to at once, and for all, cut off from ourselves the seed, the root and the identity that we have so wrongly been living out of (EK) and receiving by faith from.

From this day on know that your seed and your root is God and that you are rooted in world and paradigm void of earthly connections, genealogies, inherited things. Rather you are connected into the transcendental paradigms of the world of God which operates purely by faith and the power and glory of God.

You think about that today!

In My Father's House There Are Many Mansions

John 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Mansions or “mone” comes from the word “meno” which means to abide or to remain. Literally, Jesus says that in His house there are many remaining places.

This is what Jack Frost speaks about. The greatest life that we can attain is to learn to remain in the center of the Father's home of love, a place of cherishing, loving gentleness, pampering, catering to, and abundance.

Look at Genesis 1:2 and the work of the Spirit of God over the earth.

Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved ( hovered, fluttered over, brooding over like a bird does over its little chicks) upon the face of the waters.

When your child is sick, what do you do in your home? Don't you pamper, hover over, and cherish your sick child. Don't you give her the warm fuzzies, chicken soup, pat her cheek, and cater to her. All of this can only happen in a home, not a house.

If we do this for our sick child, how much more does the Heavenly Father want to do for you in the center of His remaining place.

Many times we don't get healed because we do not realize the gentle, pampering and cherishing love that The Father has for us. We doubt His love and therefore cannot receive. Where there is doubt about someone loving us, there is lack of faith. If we know that The Father wants to ridiculously lavish upon us, and pamper us and cater to us in the center of His home of abundance, our faith will be great and we will receive so much the more.

I go to prepare ( heitomazo/ aorist tense ( photographic past tense) A specific remaining place has been already fully prepared for you and me. The anointing to enter into that remaining place is yours for the taking. Each of us has resting place of deepest intimacy with the Father.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto ( towards ) myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Literally the Greek says “towards myself.” God has also given us a “towards Himself” anointing to go deeper and deeper into our already fully prepared remaining place with Him.

As Jack Frost says, we do not seek God for what He can give to us but for the sake of intimacy in the center of His remaining place. Frost further says that the whole Christian life is one of receiving and giving love, receiving and giving love all from the resting place of the bosom of the Father.

That where I am, there ye may be also. “Also” is the Greek word “kai” which can also be translated as “and.” In other words, in the Greek ,the word “kai” depending on the sentence structure can be defined as the word “also” or the word “and”. One Greek interlinear writer puts this verse in the following beautiful way.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto ( towards ) myself; that where I am, I AND YOU MAY BE.

I will come again..is in the present tense meaning that Jesus is ever coming
to us. This is the anointing of grace dwelling in us. We are called to the deepest place of intimacy with the Father. Jesus is ever coming to us if we allow Him to.

and receive you unto ( towards ) myself.... Receive is the word “paralambano” which means to “take to one's side.” Here is the anointing found in the remaining place of the Father's home. He is forevermore coming to us, taking us towards His side and towards Himself, over and over, and deeper and deeper.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me (Perfect Tense) hath seen (Perfect Tense) the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words ( rhema words) that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth ( dwelling / present participle) in me, he doeth the works.

In verse 9.... The “that hath seen” (discern) me (Perfect Tense) “hath seen”(discern) (Perfect Tense) the Father...are both in the perfect tense. This is the grammatical tense of utter completion. I will not say that we can perfectly and completely see Jesus and the Father with discernment in this side of life. The anointing and the grace is there though, to now press into that goal. In other words, the door is opened to us to more perfectly know and discern the Father. The more complete is our discernment, the more complete is our abiding in His resting place. Both are mutual and both are interchangeable. The deeper that we dwell in the resting place of gentle intimacy with the Father, the more completely we are discerning Him. Seeing the Father and abiding inside of His home are one in the same.

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words ( rhema words) that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth ( dwelling / present participle) in me, he doeth the works.
The Father is always remaining and resting in His home. The deeper that we can go into the resting place of God's intimacy and love the more that we will automatically operate in the very works of God. The works of God are His rhema words. There is a place of intimacy where every rhema word in us is manifested through us as His act or work.

11 Believe me ( Command) that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me ( Command) for the very works’ sake.
12 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth (Present continual) on (INTO) me, the works that I do shall he ( THAT ONE; ANY ONE) do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

The “believe me” in verse 11 is in the imperative mood of command. We are commanded by Jesus to intimacy with Him and pressing into His remaining place for you and me.

Notice that Jesus commands us to believe for the very work's sake. In other words, he or she that presses into the perfect vision of the remaining place of God will enter into oneness with God and into the very works of God Himself. Its all about intimacy with God.

I love verse 12. Believing in the Greek is simply not a mental ascent; it talks about obedience. Faith and obedience are one in the same.

12 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth (Present continual) on (INTO) me, the works that I do shall he ( “Ekeino” THAT ONE; ANY ONE) do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

He that is pressing into intimacy with Jesus, that one, this one, you or me, or any normal Joe, will do the same works that Jesus does. There is no partiality with God. One does not have to be a Moses or a Paul. Anybody, that one, this one, whomever it will be who presses into the resting place of intimacy with Jesus will do the same works that Jesus does.

The Mustard Seed Faith Anointing

Mt 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance ( perisseuoo: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Who ever received by faith can enter into a state of excess or abundance. This is the anointing of mustard seed faith.

As to state of our most innermost being, we must breakthrough into a place where we operate out of the abundance which faith brings. Our innermost spirit must come into a state of excess and abundance as to the things that we are believing for. God responds more to faith than to need. He responds more to the abundance of what we are believing for and what we hold in our hearts concerning His things than to the poverty and need of unbelief. He responds to the child like faith that allows us to receive from Him before we can see it.

Faith is a law. A law releases in specific circumstances, specific results.

2Co 10:15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labors; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
Literal: When your faith grows, by it we will come into a place of abundance in all of the things of God. There is a rule of abundance in the Spirit. I don't have time to figure it out right now, but it hit me as I was blogging.

Mat 14:19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
Literal: They were filled or fully satisfied. (Aorist/ passive). The Aorist tense is defined as a photographic snapshot on the time line of history. The passive describes a state of being or of existence.
They took up ( airo) to lift or carry something up.
That remained; Periseuoo- excess, overflow and abundance.

These scriptures define a important scriptural principle. By faith and a renewed mind we must breakthrough into a realm of spiritual reality which obtains abundance and excess as pertaining to the things of the kingdom of God.
Jesus gave them the food and after it was physically lifted up by the disciples it became an excess and abundant remains of fragments of food. Can you see and transfer this into the spirit and faith?

What the Lord gives to us, we must lift it up by faith and a renewed mind into a spiritual realm of excess and abundance. This is how the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven work. This is the anointing of mustard seed faith available to us in the Spirit. We make it grow by knowing that everything which God gives to us in His kingdom is supposed to be increased and multiplied by us into abundance and excess.

Please look with me at the next scriptures.

Matt 15:20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Literal: Good slave and one who believes. This is why he was a good slave, because he was faithFULL, or full of faith. His faith had caused him to double what Jesus had given to him. This the mustard seed faith anointing
I will make thee ruler ( kathisthemi: Taking authority over something which is standing) The good and believing servant had pressed through into receiving an additional five talents by faith. This is now his point of authority. He had taken authority over the original 5 talents which had been standing before him and now had gotten another 5.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Literal Greek: To the one living in a realm of having in his spirit.. shall be given ( passive) . The passive voice talks about realm, state or reality. The one who has, shall live in a realm of being given more, and more, until he has an excess and an abundance. This is Paul's rule of abundance in Corinthians.
This is also in the passive voice. To the one who lives in a realm of having, God will place him in the realm where He gives to the individual, because Gos is attracted to his faith. This realm of giving by God will be in the realm of the exceeding abundance. It becomes a way of life for that believer, if he lives by the anointing of mustard seed faith.

Much of this is brought by the revelation of the superhuman labor or grace of God
Ro 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Ro 5:17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
“Grace”<: ( God's superhuman labor) also operates in excess and abundance. It is revealed by our faith.

Luke 9:16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
Once again the principle of multiplication by simple faith.
Jesus gives and what is picked up is picked up y faith in the excessive abundance. Its like the rod of Moses turned into a snake. We must turn what God gives to us into excessive abundance.
\
We must ask God for a breakthrough in our thought patterns. We must get out of our normal thinking patterns. God is “abnormal” by our standards in the operation of His thinking and acting. As Jesus transformed water into wine or as He passed mysteriously through the crowd that was going to kill him, or as He walked through the walls of a locked home to meet his disciples after His death; we must learn to think and act like Him.

Mustard seed faith operates, into taking the little that Jesus gives to us and transforming into into excessive abundance in the spirit world and beginning to press in and receive from it. It can all begin to occur in one moment. This is the rod of Moses now given to us.

John 6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
“When they were filled” Literal: After they were satiated...then gathered up in excess! Can you see this?
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled (Gemizo) twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
Filled ( Gemizo) replete, covered over. This word gemizo is found in Rev 4:6 as to the descriptions of the eyes on the living beasts.
Re 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full (gemizo) of eyes before and behind.

Lets study the scriptural principle of the faith which Jesus wants us to enter in.
What Jesus gives to us by faith we must receive in it in our spirit and soul until we are satiated with it. To him who has, more will be given. We transform this into excess and abundance by faith covered over, replete, pressed down and shaken together all in one instance. Rememeber the rod of Moses.
This process can begin in an instance for us if our minds become free from boxed normal thinking to a transcendental and abnormal thinking that goes beyond and over and through the closed doors of worldly circumstances.

Ac 16:5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased <4052> in number daily.
Literal Greek: The church abounded into excess, arithmetically speaking, per meeting. Mustard seed faith in operation! Just believe for your churches to grow arithmertically.

Ro 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded <4052> unto many.
Literal; We know about the 9 charismatic gifts of the Spirit in 1Cor 12. Grace, or the superhuman labor of God, is likewise a charismatic gift. It is given freely as we receive it. As with every other charismatic gift, it will be manifested in excess abundance by the anointing of mustard seed faith.

Ro 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound <4052> in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Hope is expectation. We receive by expectation. Expectation, is likewise a charismatic gift that can be manifested in excessive abundance by our faith. We can begin to receive excessively abundantly, by excessive abundant expectation, which is brought about by the excessive abundant grace or God's superhuman labor. All is revealed by faith.

1Co 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel <4052> to the edifying of the church.
Paul commands us to possess spiritual spiritual gifts in excessive abundance.

1Co 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding <4052> in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
The works of God in us must become excessive abundant.

2Co 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed <4052> in glory.
The glory of God in the ministry of the Spirit is transcendental and excessive abundant. We must enter into that realm of glory.

2Co 8:7 Therefore, as ye abound <4052> in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound <4052> in this grace also.
Press in into the realm and reality of excessive abundant faith, excessive abundant charismatic gifts, and excessive abundant giving of all sorts.

Php 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound <4052> yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
The love of God is a charismatic gift that can excessively abound in us by faith.

Think about that today! Got to run and prepare for Africa.

God's Perfect Ministry Trifecta

I Cor 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

God has given us the perfect trifecta or the dynamic triad in every ministry situation. The important thing is to know that all of this occurs by faith and revelation.

# 1 The frist part of the trifecta

I Cor 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts ( charismatic), but the same Spirit.

Verse 4, the first part of the trifecta, is the spiritual gift which God supplies to you in a ministry situation. As a charismatic gift it is a gift of God’s supernatural labor or grace and it follows the laws of being abundantly given, energized by God Himself, and transcendental in its nature.

In any ministry situation see what is before you and receive the gift that you need. It could be a healing gift, a miracle, a prophecy.
Charismatic gifts are supplied by the Spirit of God into your spirit as needed.
Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth <2024>, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Php 1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply <2024> of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

#2 The second part of the trifecta
5 And there are differences of administrations ( diakonia), but the same Lord.

Diakonia is ministry according to spiritual gifts. This is what we see occur in prayer lines after church services. God does not only give to us the supply of the gift of His supernatural labor which is needed. He will lead you perfectly in every situation how to minister the gift. If we move by faith, God’s “tailor made ministry” for that situation will flow out of you as you obey His still small voice.

#3 The third part of the trifecta
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
The word operations only occurs twice in the Bible. It is defined as the visible, illuminated, tangible completed result which is seen and understood by our five senses.

God supplies the gift which is inwardly supplied by your ability to receive it , He ministers it perfectly and He reveals the result or outcome outwardly to our five senses. All occurs by faith and child like obedience.

This is God’s ministry trifecta.

Asking and Receiving Is a Charismatic Gift

John 5: 14  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions ( REQUESTS EFFECTS/ OR THE RESULTS OF OF OUR REQUESTS) that we desired of him.

Verse 14 uses the word parrhesia for “confidence” which is defined as “every kind of speech or speaking.” Parrhesia is defined as fearless confidence, frankness, plainness and transparency in word and deed arising in a person who is free and liberated in Christ. One can only be fearlessly confident in the Lord when they know who they are in Christ, and are free from hurt, and bondage, and offense. The fearless confidence is the Person of Christ expressing Himself in unabashed power through a vessel who in unshackled and unhindered and unoffended.

In verse 14 John talks about our parrhesia in obtaining from the Lord what we ask of Him.

Verse 14 further tells us that this parrhesia comes by our asking in accordance to God’s will which in turns comes out of the voice of God’s spirit or His rhema word

Verse 15 is such a powerful scripture...it just blew me away as I was reading it!

“And if we know that he hear us.” The word for know is “oida” which is “instinctual or gut feeling knowledge.”

This is knowledge when we know, that we know, that we know. I don’t have to go to school to know that a girl’s dress is red. This is “oida”.

Oida, in verse 15, is in the perfect tense. The perfect tense is a completed action in the past, such as something which occurred yesterday, with the effect of the results still real today, and forever.

If we ask anything according to God’s will and instinctively know that He has heard you as a done deal, which should always be the case when we ask for something according to the will of God,...... we know that we have the petitions ( REQUESTS EFFECTS/ OR THE COMPLETED RESULTS OF OF OUR REQUESTS) that we desired of him.

I must give full credit to the interlinear translator @ “Srcipture4all.org”; an amazing free interlinear that you can download,.... for how accurately he translates this scripture.

The word “petitions” in verse 15 is the Strong's word # 155 “aitema” It is only found 3 times in the NT. This translator soooooo correctly “translates” petitions as “ request effects”. I can also further define it as the “tangible, completed and answered effects or results of our requests to God.”.

Lets further explain this, by the work of this same translator in 1 Cor 12. This is how he translates verse 4 and 6.

1 Cor 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, ( grace effects or results) but the same Spirit.
6 And there are diversities of operations ( energy effects or results), but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

When a believer is ministering in the Spirit of God, everything occurs by his faith and the superhuman labor of God, which is also defined as grace.

1 Cor15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

1 Cor 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts (grace effects or results)....

The word gifts is is the word charisma or charismatic gift.

Charisma comes from the word charis which is the word grace. Grace, as we learned, is the superhuman labor of God within the believer.

The nine charismatic gifts are the effect or tangible results of nine fold labors of God in us.

God makes Himself not just responsible to execute a charismatic gift through us, He likewise will bring the effect,or the tangible, manifested completed result of the ministry produced by that gift to our five senses. This is the word “operations” found in verse 6.

6 And there are diversities of operations ( energy effects or results), but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

Operations, is the word energamaton, or the manifested results or energies or what has been energized.

Verse six is a promise to us that what God has labored IN US through charismatic gifts will be energized OUT THROUGH US, as a tangible manifested completed results to our five senses and our inhabited world.

This energy working through us is the very same energy which raised Christ from the dead.

Eph 1:20 Which he wrought (ENERGIZED) in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.

This is the type of accomplished results which we obtain by faith. As a matter of fact, everything in God's kingdom works as gifts and operations through us.

Effects of God grace IN US ( charismatic gifts); effects of God’s completed work by those gifts (operations) now energized OUT OF US. Both things happen automatically by faith in every ministry situation.

1 John 5:14 ¶ And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions ( REQUESTS EFFECTS/ OR THE RESULTS OF OF OUR REQUESTS) that we desired of him.

The revelation that I got out of 1John is that when we ask according to the will of God and have the faith to know that God’s ears are opened to what we have requested, the asking and receiving is charismatic in nature. It all happens seamlessly and effortlessly by God’s grace and our faith to receive.

The asking is a CHARISMATIC GIFT and the receiving is an OPERATION..

When we ask in accordance with God’s will, we must receive that He has heard it. Asking in accordance to God’s will is asking by the rhema word which is given to you by His superhuman labor. The rhema word, is indeed a charismatic gift, or the result or the effect of God’s will being made known to your spirit.

God will then take the responsibility to answer your prayer as an operation or the manifested result of your request.

Hence the writer correctly translates petitions as a request effect or the result or answer to your request, not by your effort, but brought effortlessly to you by faith and the grace of God, by the process of gifts and operations. Glory!

The Fasting of the Chairs

Apostle Jeremy Gichuru and his wife Eunice are a definition of authentic Christian missionaries.


Born in Meru, Kenya, they are missionaries to the nation of Uganda. When God called them out from their country to Uganda in the 1980’s, with four small children, they landed in the violent regime of Milton Obote and miraculously escaped through the closed border back to Kenya. After Obote was defeated, they went back to Uganda where they pioneered the Quality Discipleship Churches now about 50 strong throughout the nation.


The Gichurus are a genuine spiritual dad and mom. Gichuru, hardly preaches and does not like to wear suits, opting for jeans. He is kind of an African Vineyard pastor. He has a heart to raise young people and by faith financially supports a number of them in his church. Jeremy and Eunice are kind hearted people and Biblical “givers” in the truest of scriptural sense. In my recent trip to Africa I spent a weekend with them in their home in Kampala, Uganda, as our USA team ministered in their church. I had also spent time with them in August of 2006.


The Gichurus have a beautiful home with about 12 bedrooms, each of them with a private bath, hot shower and and America toilet, extreme rarities in East Africa. The vision for their home is to have a place to lodge missionaries, just like our team, as we traveled through Kenya ad Uganda. The Gichurus live totally by faith. I call their home, “The House of Faith.” They began building on their property sixteen years ago, and continue to add to the structure as God brings in finances. Their home has been under continual construction all of these years. The heart of this couple is to have a missionary lodging place.


On this trip they were hosting a missionary from Fiji who was on his way back to Kenya. Eunice was running back and forth to the hospital with her daughter in law who was about to deliver and another son who has a one week old baby. They have different young people living with them who assist them with the ministry.


Gichuru is a global speaker. His itinerary from about July through December is filled up with travels to different continents including the USA. Wen I tried to telephone him today, he is with a missions team in Mabara, hundreds of miles away from Kampala.


The Gichurus did for our American missions team what is almost unheard of in Africa. The lodged and fed us, bought us bus tickets back to Nairobi, bought us American pizza and even bought gifts for our wives back in the USA. At our expense, they forewent paying their electricity so that our team could be provided for. I gave Gichuru 70.00 US which vanished in hours for some one who was in dire need. His church was hosting another 30 missionaries from numerous African countries.


Their main church in Kampala is another journey of faith. When I came to Uganda in 2006, the structure was virtually just a bunch of wooden planks holding up a metal roof. Today, though the church is still far from being completed, many more concrete facades and walls have been built. What is the vision for this building? A five story structure that will not only allow missionaries to lodge in the church, but which will have a training center for them as well.


Right after we got to their home Gichuru was coming off a fast of more than a year where he had gone without meat, until God brought in some needed money to continue building in his church. The Lord answered this need a week before we got there.


Now Gichuru is off the meat fast and is on a “chair” fast. Gichuru needs 90 chair at the cost of almost 900.00 for his growing church. Someone just gave 250.00 dollars. The amount now is 650.00 dollars. For many months he has been fasting sitting on a chair at his church, and sits on a very small wooden stool, until the Lord brings in the money for his ninety chairs.


One this trip, the Lord spoke to me and told me to take this cause up for this great couple who live on the edge of faith, pouring out all which they have for the sake of missions and evangelism in the great country of Uganda.


Nine hundred dollars will meet the need of Gichuru’s 90 chairs and get him off the little stool which he has been sitting on for many months.


If you would like to help please contact me by a personal FB message. I also have PayPal on my ministry web site at http://www.thepattern.org/. I will take care of the Western Union money transfer. There is no overhead and no middle man. All the money will go directly to Apostle Gichuru.


He will be coming to Florida in November. I pray that you all have a chance to meet this very humble and simple man.

To Lit The Unlit Things; This Is The Great Commission.

Just because A THING is invisible it does not make not real.

All the THINGS that make up God’s Kingdom are all around us. It is light that makes them visible. God’s light is glory. The Christian must renew his mind until by faith he can bring to light the unlighted things of the kingdom. This is faith. This is the great task and call of the Christian and what separates him or her from every other people type in the universe. No other people type can do what the Christian can do. God’s kingdom and the things of His kingdom are already within our country, within our lives, the healing we need, the righteous government that we need, the finances that we need. All is here. We can light it by faith and display it as real with its evidence and proof by faith. A thing brought to light, becomes a reality and a new type of existence. Its all about light. This is why faith is the substance of the invisible things of the kingdom. Because it is their substance, faith is also its light, proof and evidence. 

Heb 11:1 ¶ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Sometimes as believers we waste much time praying for a breakthrough. Most of the time the breakthrough is already here. It is found in the natural existence of the the unlighted things of God’s kingdom, that when lit naturally operate in the flow of liberty, victory and breakthrough. Its all about the renewed mind. Its all about the light that you bring by faith. God cannot bring to light the hidden things of His kingdom without the cooperation of the Christian. How many things of God’s kingdom do you want to bring to light with evidential proof? This is the meaning of being a witness. The kingdom of God is easy. Its not so much about breakthrough as it is about revelation. Its not so much about victory. The victory is already here. Its about manifestation. It happens easily and seamlessly by us in proportion to the renewed mind which operates transcendentally, without limitation, and without boundaries, and is in tune from moment to moment to the flow of the grace of God which is His superhuman labor. The renewed mind has nothing to hinder it. It is hooked up to the Will of God, who operates His will seamlessly and effortlessly by His grace or superhuman labor in continual victories, continual dominance, continual breakthrough and continual manifestation of His invisible things. This is the law of God. The renewed mind is a slave to the law of God. 

Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
