RANKS AND ORDERS
PART 2
We are looking at ranks and orders, in God. Many to seem to think that everyone is the same, in the Spirit, because God is no respector or persons. And it is true--------God is no respector of persons; He has given ALL His fullness; the same opportunity, in this journey of awakening IN Him, Fatherhood. But, as in the natural, so is it in the Spiritual; HE DOES NOT FORCE ANYTHING ON ANYONE. In this natural, religious realm, we see some, who although they were given the same opportunity AND right, as everyone else, who WILL NOT move in the ranks and orders.
Some will say, "but, we are all right where we are suppose to be." I disagree with that. That has been used as an excuse for those not moving in the Pattern that He led. I don't believe, for one moment, that all are where they are suppose to be. We CHOOSE to be where we are at! Most of the time, we do not like to leave our comfort zone, and if someone urges us on, even though we know a truth, we get a little upset for being reminded that we are not to stay comfortable. REMEMBER GOD FINISHED HIS WORK (GEN.2:2, JOHN 17:5). HE IS NOT HOLDING ANYONE BACK, FROM THE RANKS THAT HE LAID FOR US TO MOVE INTO. HE DID NOT LAY A PLAN TO HOLD PEOPLE BACK FROM. (Duet. 32:4)
Think on it; What was the FIRST THING that God said to us, when we came forth out of Him?
Gen. 1:27-28, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God SAID UNTO THEM, BE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPY, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH AND SUBDUE IT; AND HAVE DOMINION......OVER EVERYTHING ON THE EARTH......"
These are ranks and orders here. And notice there is an order to what He said to do. You will notice that there are 3 ORDERS; just as we are shown 3 ORDERS in our walk in bringing forth the manifestation of Him, here on earth; 1) Salvation, 2) Pentecost, and 3) Kingdom. Within EACH ORDER there are 3 RANKS. I will try to show an example, with the ORDER of Salvation, with scriptures.
James 4:8, "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."
Eph.2:19, "Now therfore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God"
John 15:15, "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you friend; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."
Can you see the three ranks? These are salvation scripitures, and there is a progressive groweth in them. We see first, SINNERS. Remember when we were taught that we were sinners and even after being saved by grace, we were still sinners? That teaching is still being taught by people that have been teaching it for 50, 60, 70 years. NO GROWETH. Then second, FELLOWCITIZENS WITH THE SAINTS. Now we have moved from sinners to fellowcitizens. AND NOW we are of the household of God. Then thirdly, we are a FRIEND OF JESUS'. Do you see the 3 ranks in this first ORDER? Guess what? There are millions who are still in the first rank of this order and have been there for years and years. Now be honest with yourself, do you really think that it is GOD who is keeping them there? He made the ranks and then kept them from reaching them? Come on, give HIM a break. We NEED to get the RELIGION out of our thinking.
Even as Sons, there are 3 ranks;
tecnion=a baby son;
tecnon=an adolesant son,
and weeas=a mature son.
We are each of these ranks within each Order we rise to. We go from being babies in the new Order to being mature sons, and then we rise higher. And finallly, we see that it is HIM Who is rising in or as us. To think that we can just imagine ourselves in the highest Order, the highest Rank, HIM, is fool hearted. We must walk through each rank and each order. How many times are we told to come up higher, in the Book of Revelation? Three times.
It is the same with the ORDER of Pentecost. We go in as mature sons in the salvation Order, but as babies in the Pentecost Order. We know nothing of faith. But we learn. And then we move. And we mature.
And then we rise to the rank of baby in the Kingdom Order. BUT, in both of the first two Orders, MANY STAY THERE, by choice. There are those who claim to be Kingdom and have come right out and said, "I don't like Pentecost, they act weird and crazy". But I have news for them, we CANNOT SKIP ONE SINGLE RANK!!! Can you see why there are so many messed up christians out there.
Then you have those who WILL NOT MOVE because their pastors have told them, "don't get involved with that". Yet, like Jesus said, "You search the scriptures THINKING that in them you will find eternal life......BUT YOU WON"T COME TO ME". There is no trying to learn; no studying, no time alone with I AM, they are just too busy. "I am saved, so I have nothing to worry about", they say. And it is true. But they are losing out on everything and while the firstfruits are ruling and reigning for a thousand years (GOD'S YEARS) they will waiting, and learning , and waiting to be called back into a perfected body.
Then there are those who don't go through the ranks, once they leave Pentecost; they just claim it all finished in this realm as well as the Spirit realm, but I ask them, where are the fruits of the completedness and manifestation of I AM, in this realm? Why are they still getting sick? Why, why, why? So many whys. And all they will tell you is that "it is finished", even though they see wars, hatred, need that they say they don't need. This is their choice, and like I AM, we cannot force them to change their thinking. Their thinking is like the rapture people, a way of escape, but the Pattern escaped NOTHING. They stick their heads (mind) in the sand and just see THEIR truth, not His.
Joel 2:7, "They shall run like mighty men: they shall climb the wall like men of war: and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks; neither shall they thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded."
"they shall not break their ranks" look at this word "break:, #5670, to pawn, to lend, to entangle; borrow: in other words, you can't borrow your way through ranks and orders; you can't pawn something to get from one rank to another; you can't pay your way through the ranks, NOT EVEN TO GOD!!! Why, because it is already paid for and HE is waiting for YOU to allow HIM to be seen, not YOU. No one can do it for another. Some disagree, but read your bible again. Look at the small, short scriptures: "work out YOUR own salvation"; "purify YOUR SELF", "BELIEVE". We can not work out anyone else's salvation; we can't purify anyone else's mind, and we surely cannot believe for another. And each of us has a role to play in having His finished plan to manifest and be SEEN; for Him to APPEAR, make His APPEARANCE, in this realm. In other words, WE are to bring heaven (we are Spirit) and earth (speaks of this world) together, as one.
James 2:17-24, "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew you my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God: thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered I saac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the Spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.".
As I said before, this is not about religious works; going door to door, witnessing and the such; it is about US DOING THE BRINGING OF THE FINISHED WORK INTO this realm. THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY, "WE MUST WAIT ON GOD", BUT THEY FORGET THAT HIS WORK IS FINISHED, HE ISN'T DOING ANYMORE. THEN THERE ARE THOSE THAT SAY, "WE ALREADY HAVE IT ALL FINISHED". Both are incorrect, but, only themselves can allow correction. As you see, in the scriptures above, we are to do works not just believe. HE GAVE US EVERYTHING TO DO IT, (John 1:16) do you really think He is going to REdo it for us? I think not. When He tells us to do something, He means for US to do it, AS HIM.
Some will actually look at you and treat you like you are some kind of nut, if you say, "this is a prcess that we are in". "Oh no, they say, it is already finished". Yet, the fruits don't show through their sitting with their heads in the sand, WAITING.
I can only look at our PATTERN, I AM~~ HE was a Spirit Being; HE manifested in the flesh: and HE laid a Pattern for us to follow, like Sonship. And most want to stop there. BUT HE DID NOT~~ He returned to His authoritive position of Father. When did He do that? When He died as the man, Jesus, and was I AM AGAIN. And He did it right inside of us. He awakened our memory.
The word "Kingdom", let me tell you what it means. It is not "a place" and it is not "a thing". It carries with it ALL things. # 932 in Strong's=royalty, rule, a realm. FROM #939=TO WALK, A PACE, THE FOOT!!! What does this say to you? To me, it is a MOVING BY ME. That makes ME the Kingdom. Think on it folks; leave the fantasy of a royal city; a religious place. True we are a CITY, but remember this is a SYMBOL! IF we are not moving, walking, pacing, using our "feet" to rise from order to order, rank to rank, then we are not the Kingdom, ONLY IN HIS SIGHT!!! But He does not want us to be something in His sight, He wants us to know that we are Him and He is us!!
We are ONE IN HIM. As He is, so are we in this world. AS HIM, WE are to bring His finished work from the Spirit realm into the earthen realm. This is easy to understand when we were told "He will not share His glory with another". Why? Because IT IS HIM DOING IT and no one can credit for it; the only difference is, is that HE is doing it in this realm just as He did in the Spirit realm, but as PLURAL ELOHEIM!! He finished it in the Spirit realm, we, as Him are to finish it in this realm. Folks act as though the earth is going to be done away with and only the Spirit will be. It just isn't true. Why was earth created? Because He KNEW what HE wanted, and that was to NOT remain invisible, but would be seen as WE complete His finished work, right here on earth. Why else would our physical bodies be changed? Just so He would have something to do, while He rests? I doubt that. Some say, "yes He finished His work and stopped, BUT, He started working again". PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE IT SAYS THAT.
His Pattern was: His thought with faith; He spoke the thought with faith; then He brought it (the thought) into being. IF He is our Pattern, and there is no better Pattern, then WE ARE TO DO THE SAME HERE ON EARTH.
Do you see many doing what He told us to do? Take dominion? There are some and bless them. But, like a sister said to me, "What is there to take dominion of, we are Him, His work is finished?" I can only say that when He did a thing, FRUIT SHOWED. I know of folks who are taking dominion of hurricanes, floods etc. And some say, "well I don't see any of it stopping". And all I can say, is THEY ARE PRACTICING; THEY ARE AT LEAST BEING OBEDIENT. They WILL and ARE MOVING INTO ANOTHER RANK and it will show fruit, as they rise. Hallilujah!! To BE FRUITFUL, we must LEARN HOW to produce FRUIT; then we MULTIPLY. Then we learn to SUBDURE and lastly we take DOMINION as He told us to.
You see folks, and this will surely cause an uproar, but whatever; you see I AM did not manifest in this earthen realm "to give us the Holy Spirit", WE ALREADY WERE THE HOLY SPIRIT SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD!! Did not we come forth in His image? Are we not Plural Eloheim? Did He not give us HIS FULLNESS? Most want to say, well yes He did, but I will not say that I am the Holy Spirit. Well whatever. That is up to you. Most want to think, "yes He gave us His fullness, but He didn't make us the Holy Spirit". Really? Is He not the Holy Spirit? Are we not Him and Him us? Come on folks, it is just like the scripture says?
Heb 5: 11-14, "Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that on teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
Now, lay aside RELIGIOUS thinking for a minute. Doesn't this sound like the ones being talked to, has had a CHOICE regarding staying a babe? Dull of hearing, simply says to me, they aren't spending time LEARNING, in what ever way we use to learn. Some meditate, some study a lot, some read and read and read, and some spend time within seeking UNTIL they receive their answers. A babe isn't interested in learning. A babe wants to play with other babes; church activities; asking instead of seeking; but somewhere they grow up. And some are like spoiled teenagers; they have no chores; nothing is expected of them except more fun. This is a choice.
Also, we see that it says "when you OUGHT TO BE TEACHERS", does this say, "when God decides for you to start teaching?". No it doesn't. When a person has been in an order for 10 years, I think I would start thinking, "why am I learning the SAME THING over and over?" Come on, it is time to face facts. When SOME who are in the salvation order reads this, and IF they check their bible, and see that these scriptures are there, don't you think that they can either say, "hey I want to find out more about this", or "oh that's nice, maybe Pastor will preach on this sometime."
The question is: DO YOU WANT IT ALL? DO YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THAT YOU HAVE IT ALL, ALREADY? Do you want to KNOW WHO you are? I want to remember everything. I don't care if it comes from a New Age Book; or the Koran; or from metaphyics!! HE IS ALL IN ALL and IF I seek, I know I will find out. Some look at God as love, which He is, but, don't have a balance in seeing all that He is. IF we don't see Him in ALL things; all situations, then they are not seeing Him. This may offend but I am sorry, truth is truth.
There are those, who enjoy being "spiritual", that REALLY don't want others to grow. THEY LOVE BEING THE TEACHER!!! So they will give some nibles of meat, but mostly find 100 different words to describe the same thing over and over. If YOU are being taught the same things that you were being taught 5 years ago, spend LESS TIME IN CHURCH and more time ALONE , LISTENING and EXPECTING to hear!!
Don't fall for the ostrich food. It looks good, sounds good, but it will sour on your belly. And there will be no FRUIT for dessert!! Love them, but don't get caught in the sand.
Love and blessing.

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