RECEIVING
Hebrew 4:3, "For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he
said as I have sworn in my wrath; they shall enter into my rest: although
the works were finished from the foundation of the world."
The reason we that we don't REST, is because we haven't received. Let's look
at what else Father is saying to us.
Gen. 2:2, "An on the seveneth day God ended his work which he had made:
and he rested on the seveneth day from ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE."
Mt. 21:22, "And ALL THINGS , whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
BELIEVING, ye shall receive."
Now, this " ALL THINGS", is the same that was being spoken of in Hebrews
4:3. In other words, all the things that we ask for have been
finished, from the foundation of the world. This means that whatever you
pray for, has already been done. Pray, BELIEVE, SPEAK IT IN,
THEN we receive. By "believe", I don't mean just a learning of something.
Believing is something that becomes a part of us.
Remember, we are told that "from the abundance of the
heart (what we truely believe) the mouth speaks." We can tell what we
really believe by the words we speak. IF we are asking for something to be
done by Father, then we are NOT really believing that it was
"finished from the foundation of the world".
ALL of Father's Plan has been finished from the foundation of the world. Our
consciousness determines what we receive. If we receive not, it's because we
don't believe Genesis 2:2. Folks we HAVE to be HONEST with ourselves.
Without honesty, we are just playing religous games. Our consciousness is
the important tool that we've been lacking in. It's there, but, are we open
to receive what we can't see with our natural eyes? hmmmmm.
The real principal of life is this; your own will come to you. Your own
state of consciousness will always be made manifest as you experience; and
no man can take that away from you. No man can take your consciousness from
you any more that he can take your knowledge of mathematics or music from
you.The greater the awareness of GOD which you attain, the greater degree of
desirable things and persons will appear in your outer world. These things
and persons will be your own consciousness, appearing to you. If you want
it, get out of the way, if you believe it will come to you that is truth.
God is theonly essence/being that there is. He has gone before to make the
crooked way straight. "but" our ignorance and beliefs get in the way,
stopping the manifestation of that which already is.
I learned and saw this in Nigeria. And have been being reminded of it by
David, the minister in Nigerian, in different things that he has said to me
in our correspondace, since my return. IF we LISTEN for Father's voice, He
is quick to remind us of things that He has shown us, but we sometimes allow
it to slip away, in our busynes.Father showed me SO MUCH while I was in
Nigeria, that it is sometimes overwhelming, and I just have to sit and be
still and cry out for Him to remind me, but He is faithful. Sometimes when
we REALLY LISTEN, He speaks things through people that they don't even
realize that Father has just spoken to someone through them. But, when
Father has shown you something, you remember it the monment someone says
something. I know you all have experienced this.
MT. 19:11-12, "And he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying,
save to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so
so born from their mother's womb; and there are some eunuchs, which were
made eunuchs of men; and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves
eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let
him receive it."
"to whom it is given". Given means that God has opened their understanding
and they have RECEIVED it.
A eunuch is one who cannot produce life. People DECIDE that they aren't
going to produce. For many different reasons. Some think that they cannot
produce life unless their pastor sends them door to door; they aren't
"witnessing" by the leading of the Spirit, they are led by their pastor, and
when the pastor doesn't tell them step by step what to do, they determine
within themselves that they cannot produce. And some are given opportunity
to PRODUCE life, but they refuse to, because of their own reasons.
Others think that they can "skip a step of our walk, that God showed us in
the many different teachings in the bible, simply because they "don't like a
step. They don't like the way certain people act in a step in our journey.
But, we cannot skip ANY steps that God has shwon us in HIS teachings. They
always have "belief" that covers that place that is skipped. But, they end
up not producing.
In the natural, a eunuch is one who has been castrated. He cannot produce
life. In the Spirit, a eunuch cannot produce life. The ONLY way life can be
produced is by receiving from THE LIFE, Father.
2Cor. 5:10-12, "For we must ALL appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he
hat done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the
Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also
are made manifest in your consciences. For we commend not ourselves again
unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have
somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart."
This,too, describes a eunuch. It is one who talks it, but it hasn't been
received in their heart. They can talk it at times and they THINK that they
are doing it for the Kingdom of God, but they haven't received Father's
Plan, step by step. They have good intentions, but they haven't received it
in their heart.
John 12:48, "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that
judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge im in the
last day. For I have not spoken of myself, but the Father which sent me, he
gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know
that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore even
a the Father said unto me, so I speak."
Notice, when they reject me, this equals out to they reject the Father, The
Word and the Holy Spirit. When they reject, they don't receive. We must
DISCERN what we are told. Without discernment we reject what is being said
in PRESENT TRUTH. And when it is rejected because discernment hasn't been
exercised, the Father is being rejected; the Word is being rejected; and the
Spirit is being rejected. And in that rejection, we cannot produce life. Why
is Father, the Word and the Spirit being rejected? Because WE ARE WITHOUT
EXCUSE to not know the truth.
Acts 2: 38, "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
To receive the GIFT of the Holy Ghost, is connected to the "church." The
Gift is the annointing, which is Father's Life flowing through us.
Gal. 3:13-14, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made
a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a
tree: That the blessing of Abraham might com on the Gentiles through Jesus
Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
The PROMISE is connected to Abraham, which was, that all nations would be
blessed through Christ. If you are in Christ, you are the SEED.
The reason we are without excuse is because God has given us the Holy
Spirit, His anointing (His LIFE) and He has written His Truth on our heart.
I want you to pay close attention to this next verse.
Exodus 32:31-32, "And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this
people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if
thou wilt forgive their sin__; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy
book which thou hast witten."
How did Moses know there was a book? How did Moses know that everone's name
was in the book? How did Moses know? Becuse Moses RECEIVED it. Moses
actually saw the ages that was to come!!
Folks, the attonement was only a physical manifestation of the FINISHED WORK
THAT WAS FINISHED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD!!
Gen. 49:1, "And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves
together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days."
Jacob saw what they would look like in the end days.!!! (read Rev 21 to see
what they would look like). Jacob saw the end days. Moses saw the Book. How?
And this is the point I am makeing:
THE WHOLE IDEA OF RECEIVING IS BELIEVING THAT IT WAS ALL DONE
BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD AND SEEING EVERYTHING IN THAT TRUTH.
Amen. Be blessed and live in the TRUTH.

It is understandable for a child to be
afraid of the dark; but, why would an adult be afraid of the LIGHT?
