Life On Both Sides of the River Part 5


We left off, in the last study in 1 Tim 2. I want to just add something to what was said in the last study. I had a sister email me and ask what the difference was in:

1 Tim 2:1, "I exhort therefore, that, first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for ALL men."

The understanding that I have been given is this; SUPPLICATIONS =praying about situations that people are in. Ex: my sweet little Mother, who has Alzheimer's, is in the hospital with pneumonia (among a list that goes on and on) and I pray for the situation that she is in. I pray for His Comfort to her, in this situation. PRAYERS=this is the lifting up of a person, before God. Ex: I lift my Mother daily before Father. I lift, what I know she would ask Him, if she were in the right mind, to ask Him. INTERCESSIONS=is standing in the gap for someone. Ex: I pray Father's will in my Mother's life. I stand in the gap regarding the pain, the loss of memory but MOSTLY, what Father puts in my heart to pray for her. GIVING OF THANKS=giving thanks to Father FOR that person, regardless of where they are, what they are doing and how they are doing. And notice, that this scripture says that we are to do these things for ALL MEN. Not just Christians. But ALL. For all are our brothers and sisters! A scripture that helped me so much with the understanding of this is:

John 10:14-16, this is Jesus speaking, "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine." (this is speaking of Christians, or those who have accepted Jesus as Saviour). (Vs 15) "As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep." (Vs 16) "And OTHER SHEEP I HAVE, WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD: THEM ALSO I MUST BRING, AND THEY SHALL HEAR MY VOICE, AND THERE SHALL BE ONE FOLD AND ONE SHEPHERD." So, we are to pray for ALL of His sheep.

Before I go on, I'd like to share something, that I shared with a sister, yesterday. I pray this will give comfort to any of you who have loved ones that their minds may be effected in any way. As I was praying one day for Mom, I asked, "Father, with Mom's mind like this, why do you allow her to go on, she understands hardly anything." He very gently whispered to me, "She has the mind of Christ that I placed within her, that is how she is receiving of Me." What a glorious thrill that was for me. I was looking and thinking with the mind that no longer belongs to me, but as I allowed the Mind of Christ to do the thinking, I understood, with great happiness. Also, Father showed me that when one passes over to that next life, regardless of where they have been, good, bad, whatever, that the darkness that kept them from seeing His Truth has passed from them. They have entered the Spirit realm and like Father, they see the beginning and the end, but the learning goes on for them, just like us, because HEB 11 tells us that "them without us, may not be made perfect." This word "perfect" means "mature" so we're all coming into maturity, on BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVER. My mom passed over Jordan, and what a comfort it was for me, when Father gave this revelation.

So, we'll get on with this present study.

Matt 6:8-10, " Be not ye therefore like unto them; for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him. (9) After this manner therefore pray ye; Our Father which art in heaven...(or in the realm of spirit) Hallowed be thy name, (10) Thy kingdom come, (whose kingdom? God's Kingdom) Thy will be done in earth (or in the natural realm) as it is in heaven (or in the spiritual realm).

Now, understand, that those who have gone on, by way of the grave, are no longer in the natural realm. They are in the spirit realm. Whether they are in darkness or light, they are in the spirit realm, not off in space and not in some hole in the ground that fire burns in, ONLY FATHER"S FIRE< WHICH IS HIM!.

Notice, He didn't say "as it SHALL be in heaven, but as it IS in heaven." Those that have gone on, regardless to what they did while they were in the earth, or the natural, or the flesh, they are now in the spirit. And God's Will IS being done in the spirit. Amen.

If the shackles were removed from our eyes, we could see into the spirit realm and see people, we may not know them as we knew them on earth, but we'd see those people doing what God has willed them to do in the spirit. As we minister Truth, even now, they hear what we minister and they walk in it as they understand it. Most think that when one dies, that's the end, but it's not. Ecc 12 tells us that "the spirit returns unto God from whence they came." We go back to where we came from. I don't believe for one minute that God went through 7000 yrs of creating, making us in His Image, in this last day, to allow us to go wherever we want to go! If we understand how God's Government works in the earth, if we understand that from the days of Noah until this very day we now live in, God has allowed man to operate and run His Government, but in THIS DAY, that Jesus talked about, this day that He's going to be perfected, this day that we shall be revived, then God takes His Government back unto Himself. That's why it is THIS DAY that the Sons of God are showing  the manifestation, more than ever before. We HAVE BEEN MANIFESTING, anyone who has laid hands on someone, and that person received a healing, that is a manifestation of God!! Amen. Anyone that you know that has spoken to the weather, and the weather or elements have obeyed, that is a manifestation of God! We have been manifesting as Sons, but people are STILL waiting for the manifestation of the Sons. We HAVE BEEN manifesting God all along. And the church is still looking into the future and waiting!!  And NOW, we're gonna be manifesting more and more and more and the world is going to see it! Hallelujah!! We need to stop waiting. No signs are going to take place. We ARE manifesting!!  WE are His Signs! Just because it may not be the way that WE THINK it should be, doesn't mean squat!! They missed Jesus, before, because He didn't come as THEY THOUGHT He should. We need to wake up, my brothers and sisters! When a sister told me that she prayed for one to be taken home, by Father, and a couple days later, that one was taken home, THAT IS A MANIFESTATION!!  It may not be what we thought a manifestation would be, but it was. It was that POWERFUL SPIRIT of Father, that spoke through that sister. It was a manifestation of God, here on earth. We have got to see more simply, and not make it so complicated. Jesus was a simple man, so will be the Body of Christ. HE IS OUR EXAMPLE!!

For those who don't know, the Book of Hebrews, I found that the word "hebrews" is "the crossing over." Father talks about in Hebrews, a people who ministers a word that belongs to another time. The word they are ministering is not even for the day that they are ministering in, but for another day.

Heb. 7:22, "By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament."

If Jesus was made a surety of a better covenant, then the one that was before Jesus, was not as good as this one. This shows us that God is always in a progressive mode. He's always taking us from one dimension in Him, to a greater dimension. And if we're going to be foolish enough to think that, that process stopped when Jesus died, then we are men most foolish. Because the process continues on, because, first of all, God deals in weeks, just like we deal in weeks and we are in the 7th day of God's week, so God's week isn't finished.(as we know it).  So that means the process is continuing. So, if Jesus, in His day, was made a surety of a better covenant, and He was made a Pattern for us, then we became a pattern for someone else to make this covenant even more sure. "We are as He is in this world," and we need to lock in on this. We're not "as He was," we "are as He IS in this world." He said that He did some great things, and that we're going to do those same works and greater works. He wasn't talking about greater things in power and authority, because we HAVE the power and authority already, but, because we were going to become aware that we ARE what He IS, in a many membered man. When He did it, He was one individual doing those things, we have become a many membered man doing the same things and that's why He said, greater things shall we do. And we really need to realize, it's not that some are expecting these things to be done, GOD IS EXPECTING those things to be done.

VS 23, "And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death; VS 24, "But, this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood."

Now, If Jesus died, for us, and if we died with Him, and if we were buried with Him, and if we resurrected with Him, then we are in the priesthood with Him. And if that priesthood is unchangeable, then we, as a priesthood, are unchangeable. Not only that, Jesus, when He died, He didn't die and all Christians went and died with Him, it wasn't all Christians that were buried with Him, it wasn't all Christians that resurrected with Him, Romans doesn't say that.  ALL MEN is included in this. The only reason that the world, doesn't manifest that resurrected life is because, they don't know they resurrected!! Amen. (heck, as far as that goes, MOST Christian don't realize it!)   Once we came into the knowledge that we resurrected with Him, we repented of our sins and we began to walk that resurrected life with Him. The world doesn't walk with Him, because they don't know YET that they resurrected. If that was not the case, then Jesus would have to come back every time, and die for each of them as they came unto Him! How many millions of times would He have to come back and die all over again!!?? But, He died ONCE FOR ALL! Hallelujah!

In the Old Testament priesthood, those priests had to atone the sins for a year, and not only of for the children of Israel, but Egyptians WITH the children of Israel. Because God said, "not only your seed Abraham, but those who come and stay with you."

And when Moses left Egypt, some Egyptians went with him and EVERYBODY that was there when the priests went behind the vail, their sins were atoned for. Now those priests had to do that every year, but when Jesus came, He didn't have to do that every year. "ONCE FOR ALL."

VS 24, "But, this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Let's look at this a minute. IF this scripture were in Matt, Mark, Luke or John, it would have a completely different meaning. Because in those Books, Jesus is physically alive. He has not physically died for our sins yet. But, here, in Hebrews, "this man" that's being talked about, is not only the man who died. Because the man, Jesus, as complete as He was in God, Christ was not completed. Once He, Jesus, died, and we became the Body of Christ, He THEN became the Head of Christ, and us the Body of Christ. And, as it says in Ephesians 3. "the whole family in earth and heaven is named Jesus Christ." So, when God looks at the earth, and sees you, or me, or Tom, Dick or Harry, He sees the Blood of Jesus, that covered the sins of ALL men. Hallelujah! So, when Jesus died, and resurrected we all resurrected with Him, just like Him. Because He was ONE man that died, we are many members that resurrected, and HIS ministry continues forever! Praise His Name!!

VS 25, "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."

He  ever liveth to make intercession for mankind, period. But, in the first part, "save them to the uttermost," this word "uttermost" means, "into the completion." He is able to save, into the completion! Now, one man's completion may not be the same as another man's. But, whatever work, God has started in them, He is faithful to finish in them. And He didn't start the work when Jesus died, He started the work in Genesis, when He made us in His Image. Amen!! Amen!! He's able to save into the completion. I like that!!

We'll stop here and next study we'll start in Philippians.

to be continued...
Be blessed.



"One man manifesting Christ, is better than 100 men preaching about Him.
May Christ Manifest in You, Daily.

 And "Now"we are wearing the seamless garment,a thought garment, woven without a break of His high realization of Truth."Now"His Truth has both interlaced the substance of both our spiritual and body consciousness. Praise, Praise His Holiness, Lord Jesus Christ!
