Jesus before Moses
Moses forbidden to enter the land:
Deuteronomy Ch 3 v23-28
This passage of scripture is beautiful.
Within this correspondence between Moses and the Lord we have zero religion but a vibrant fellowship and relationship of perfect balance between a man and his Lord.
The relationship has the sharing of hearts. It is not an equal relationship as the Lord is LORD, but the manner in which Moses speaks to the Lord has a mark upon it of Sonship.
In verse 24, Moses shows the exact same Spirit that Caleb and Joshua had when they gave a good report of the land.
In reflection this is an important consideration, as Moses was not allowed to enter the land of promise. And yet he displayed all of the same dynamic faith in God that Caleb and Joshua had when giving their report.
Moses knew he had the liberty to plead with the Lord on this issue, Moses considered the Lord as being open to his heart requests. Moses had learned right from his first encounter with the Lord that heart sharing was at the centre of the communion & that God heard the cry of his people.
Moses had been called to fulfill the promises of God unto man.
God had promised Adam and Eve blessings of dominion and fruitfulness.
And God had promised Abraham specifically that his descendants would inherit the land, and that the period of their affliction in the land of Egypt would be for 400 years.
Moses first encounter with the Lord starts with being called by name, then the establishing of boundaries for their fellowship, that God is holy. That Moses could not bring into his fellowship with God something that would alter or sway God from his holiness. As soon as Moses responds to the Lord, the Lord establishes that Moses can’t influence the foundations that are Gods own character and nature.
Moses is commanded to take of his shoes, as the ground is holy. In other words Moses could not bring into the fellowship his own footprints! Moses was to be changed through fellowship with Gods nature, and that was the footprint he was called to lead people in.
I guess Moses immediately obeyed this instruction. And it is followed with Sonship, it is followed by God revealing himself as a Father and the God of Moses forefathers. This is the perfect balance that man needs.
Yes, this is the perfect balance. A God detached from are creation and the very soul of man, would not be able to call a man into the wonder of his holiness.
Holiness is not religious fervor or works. Holiness is the very character of God and it is not detached from the creation of man nor from mankind’s intricate design.
As the God of Moses’s Fathers, God is speaking into Moses’s life as the God who made man for worship. But the perfect balance is found in the consistency and in the very roots of Moses’s own existence. God did not reveal himself to Moses outside the context of his parents marriage and fruitfulness, despite the evil edict to drown the male babies in the waters of the Nile.
And that is the very reason why God commands Moses to take of his shoes.
Man needs the Holiness of God to lift him out of the waters of the Nile, out of the life blood of the kingdom of darkness and all its hidden knowledge: A distortion of all God had actually said, a distortion so vast that man becomes his own god – murdering babies and calling it good, and a divine and sacred right of a women, ‘my body’ without responsibility!
This world maybe able to stream to every corner the latest film, it may be able to have perversion being sung and expressed through music channels, but it can’t create the holiness that refreshes the soul of man with the calibration for the purpose for which he was born, viz Sonship.
Hell cannot overcome Heaven as Heaven is designed for the eternal souls of man.
God inhabits the heavens, but God will not have man set his own footprints and any dust from hidden knowledge within the place he calls home.
Hidden knowledge does not know Sonship. Hidden knowledge does not have fellowship and relationship as life’s joy in intimacy.
Hidden knowledge, is not the rising Sun.
Hidden knowledge, the occulting/concealing of another! Hidden knowledge is a lie from the prince of darkness that holiness is not the ground upon which mans feet are conformed to the image of God.
When Moses took off his shoes, his toes began to tingle as God breathed out that he is the God of his father and the God who keeps his promises unto Abraham, his friend. Moses was experiencing the cool of the day for the first time, and in consistency he was hearing a mandate to name all the animals: a return into Eden a land of promises fulfilled.
This was knowledge and it was not being concealed to Moses, but it was being revealed in the wonder of a balanced relationship, in harmony and reverence with the Creator.
Holiness is a unique attribute that defines God. Holiness is the nuclei that powers are whole universe, and it is the nature that will Judge all of creation.
Holiness is a welcomed guest. Holiness is obedience to the presence of God. Yes it is obedience, as obedience is the outworking of a response to the revealed nature of God.
Holiness is abiding in the presence of God.
Obedience retains the presence of God. Jesus was lead by the Spirit into the wilderness.
Holiness is more sacred than the autonomy of man. When Moses is called individually by God it is immediately followed by that which had preceded him in respect to his forefathers. Moses could not alter or change the God of Jacob, Isaac or Abraham. And no Bishop can either, and to do so is to be deceived by hidden knowledge that man can conceal the revelation of God: Male and female.
In Numbers Ch 14 v20: the Lord responds to Moses’s intercession for the people and states that he has pardoned according to Moses word.
Moses knew that God had responded to his intercession. Moses retained the revelation of God, in that the Lord had revealed to Moses that he was a Fathers God, a Father God, who heard the cry of his people/children of promise.
Therefore, when Moses had his prayers and intercession answered it was due to Moses reminding God of his own Holiness.
Moses knew that the Holiness of God, was a necessity for God to answer the cry of the people afflicted in Egypt. Therefore, Moses’s intercession before the Lord, was on the ground that God is Holy and that he alone could save his own people. That he alone could fulfill his Word of promise – AS HE ALONE IS HOLY – take off your shoes!
Moses not as an autonomous man had his word granted. Moses’s words where based on Gods Word. Moses was interceding due to Gods Word to him that had shown him that he had heard the cry of his sons of the promises of his own Word (unto Abraham, Isaac & Jacob).
This has a distinct echo into Romans Ch 8 and the groan of creation for the revelation of the Sons of God.
Who is the Word?
Moses through intercession had entered into the eternal realm of his God, the God of his calling & birthing. Moses had fled into the wilderness for his life. His encounter with God in the wilderness was the sanctification of his arm and staff of flesh, that had struck the Egyptian.
Despite God pardoning the people due to Moses intercession, God Judges that the people who refused to retain him as Holy would not ‘See’ the land of promise.
Now Moses knew he had struck the rock twice despite having been asked to speak to the rock and he knew what God had said at this juncture. And Moses knew that God said what he meant and meant what he said.
But Moses knew intercession was a realm in God where the miraculous could be done. Moses had witnessed the parting of a Sea. Moses had seen the land swallow a company that had challenged his calling by God. Korah had not understood the autonomy of Gods Holiness.
Moses appealed to the Lord, as he knew the Lord was open to do great and mighty wonders. Could not the Lord pardon Moses, as he had the people?
Despite Moses having the same Spirit of Caleb and Joshua, Moses is barred from leading the children of Israel into the promised land.
It is profound. And it is profound that Moses documents it as being due to the Lord being angry with him due to the people.
I am not sure what this means as the Lord had been angry with the people and Moses had interceded for them obtaining their pardon. And Caleb and Joshua’s faith and desire to enter the land is overhanging that whole episode – directly connecting to this encounter and later prayer of Moses.
Moses could be saying that his error was produced due to the peoples disobedience and their failure to keep God as Holy, as the jealous God of Israel.
But I am more inclined now to believe that the text is saying: the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes !
This defined Gods Holiness. Moses had put his own arm of flesh and anger into his fulfilling of Gods Word! It was a striking of an Egyptian again!
Moses had failed to keep God as Holy. Moses had put his old shoes on again, that which should have been left behind in the sands of Egypt, the footwear of a prince within an empire of hidden knowledge.
Jesus, in the wilderness would not alter one jot, a syllable of his Fathers holy and infallible Word. Bishops….!!!
Man lives by Gods Word alone, Yes, eternal life is a promise in the Word of God.
Moses had not spoken to the rock, but rather had struck it twice in anger due to the peoples indomitable nature.
Moses was called to speak the Word of God to the Rock, that the people might understand the new covenant: A Word from God, a revelation of God the Father that will not leave its sons in hell: Hidden knowledges resting place is the underworld. Bishops can repent when they stray from sound doctrine.
The Word of God is pardon for mans sins. The Word of God saves men from their sins.
The Word of God is a new covenant that converts the granite heart and has life to give others: Out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water.
The Lord speaks to Moses straight: Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again.
This does not convey a veiled threat that the earth would swallow him up if he did. No, this conveys a friendship that goes down to the bare bones, that will hear your heart but also level up with you. This has no manipulation within it or hidden knowledge, it is transparency as God has nothing to hide.
And God grants him to see the land. Glory.
God demarks the Spirit of his servant Moses from the unbelieving and rebellious people of Israel who had been lead out of Egypt by Gods mighty hand.
God allows Moses to ‘see’ the land. And to appoint his successor.
This communion between the Lord and Moses is perfect in respect to the balance of God. It has within it a ministry of no condemnation, especially when we consider who actually John was referring to when he said, ‘I am not worthy to untie the straps of his sandals’ – the one who the Father from heaven spoke his Word: This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased.
…especially when we consider who it was who was assigned to cross over the Jordan – Joshua.
The God of your father and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The Father spoke his Word concerning his beloved Son, when Jesus was being baptized so that all the people could receive their pardon!
Hymn: My God is reconciled his pardoning voice I hear, he owns me for his child, I can no longer fear; with confidence I now draw nigh, And “Father, Abba, Father, Cry” – Nor let that ransomed sinner die!
Jesus was in prayer at his baptism and then the heavens opened. Jesus was in intercession, for all the people, and then the Father spoke concerning the Word that never returns void: the light of this world.
Moses had an incredible intimacy and friendship and fellowship with God. Moses had a hot love and abounding faith, Moses was chomping at the bit to see the walls of Jericho and Goliath come down.
But Moses had not fully represented the Word of promise, the ministry of the Spirit and the promise of the Father. The Word that Pardons and makes its sons holy in his sight without spot or blemish.
The arm of flesh instead of the Word that converts the granite heart.
Moses’s barring from crossing over was imperative. It was imperative so that we know that all of Moses’s intercessions for the people had not come from within his own compassion and desire for the people, but rather that God had called and chosen him because God knew that he would not be autonomous before him, but would be faithful to every weave of those bulrushes that had created his floating mercy seat: A seat where the daughter of Pharaoh had heard the cry of a son of Abraham.
Moses knew that it was God who heard the cry and converted the granite heart of men and women.
Moses’s misrepresentation of the grace that would save sinners, was not fatal in respect to his resurrection in the land of promise, where again the Father spake: Hear him, my beloved Son. Hear him the Word, speak unto the rock.
You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
God was looking for a better High Priest to intercede for fallen humanity. Paul the Pharisee of Pharisee, a disciple of Moses bar none, preached this Word as did the writer of the epistle to the Hebrews.
Can a bishop hear the sound of babies born into a gender confused enforcement. No baby born is in its natural created order unless it has a Father and a Mother.
Moses didn’t sulk, and he hadn’t really been rejected or passed over! Rather the Lord was simply preserving the better covenant to come: The Word that speaks the Word to Rock’s: by the stones I shall not live – every Word, that includes the breadth of God, the Spirit he was lead by and that is a Holy Spirit.
Stones will not sustain me through the wilderness. Legalism and that written on stone will not reveal the Sonship of God. Sonship will reveal the heart of the Father, by this I shall live: Beloved, by this everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
Don’t resist the conviction of sin as that keeps the pardoning blood of the New covenant effective in are lives. Resting conviction is to claim that you have no sin, which is to cease to keep the demarcation of God as Holy. That is to resist the Holy Spirit. But when we are lead by the Spirit it leads us into the expanse of having been pardoned for are sins.
The Holy One of Israel.
Two tablets in an ark covered inside and out with Gold.
The original Gold of Eden. The nature and reflection of God. The head, the mind of Christ – not the vanity of man King Neb! Love is the Gold of God, not the wisdom of Solomon, 1 Cor Ch 13.
No ark inside the temple, but a man who stooped down and wrote with his hand to find the original gold beneath the surface through the logos of God.
The stone rolled away, and face to face: The bridegroom and bride, love is the substance of the holiness of God. Pure and faithful, touch me not as I have not yet ascended to my Father.
Titus Ch 1 v1-4
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness, 2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began 3 and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior; 4 To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
for the faith of those chosen of God – New American Standard.
Paul was a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ for the sake of the people of Gods faith – Amen.
A Pharisee of Pharisees who had thrown his whole arm of flesh behind striking the rock so that waters might come from it. Yes, Stone this man Stephen who despite his shining face, has added a New Covenant that replaces the temple made by mans hands. Saul heard the cry of an angel unto the mercy seat: Pardon them, and let its effectiveness be a master builder of the temple of your body.
The believers all knew about Saul and his Damascus Road encounter with the Holy One of Israel. They knew how he had been married to the law, and could not countenance being a Son of the Fathers love.
What Paul preached strengthened their faith in the knowledge of the truth: They heard a man who had struck the rock and yet pardon he had received. Oh how they must have understood through Paul, that pardon from the Word of God was a voice from the brightness of heaven: Brother Saul the Lord Jesus sent me that you should ‘SEE’ the promises of God: to be filled with the Holy Spirit: What a pardoning Word from the Rock of ages! Jesus had appeared to him, Jesus whose nature saves men from their indomitable sin.
This gospel isn’t ineffective grace. God forbid. Godliness is a demarcation that Gods Word can’t but bring.
Now in verse 2 Paul is giving testimony to reformed theology! Paul is demarcating God as Holy.
In hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the world began.
So then the War in Ukraine, the Second World War, Tsunami’s, the Middle Ages plague, personal sins and shames – the whole colossal failure of mankind to be kind. The total failure of man to have kept God Word and to have preserved his holiness.
In hope of eternal life.
Paul was converted into the faith of the truth which has a hope of eternal life that was promised before time began! That is reformed theology.
Paul despite the fall and the subsequent need for the law, came to ‘see’ that Gods Word had promised eternal life beforehand! Paul realized that Gods promise of eternal life could not be defeated by the fall, as God had promised and therefore his holiness could not but fulfill his word of promise as God cannot lie. God would not promise eternal life if he could not fulfill it.
Therefore, Salvation by it nature, is of a reformed theology: God must fulfill his own Word of promise.
God has shared his word with man to make him wise. Eternal life is a choosing of life. It is a choosing that rejects post modern thinking and philosophy as they come directly from the tree God commanded man not to eat from.
The autonomy of man is rooted to the belief in the individual and that is from post modernism that has every man a king! But the faith of the fathers is a pilgrim faith, and it is reformed as the Father of the faith spoke prophetically upon mount Moriah: My Son, God shall provide for himself a sacrifice.
To Titus my own son after the not autonomous faith.
A chosen vessel for the sake of the elects faith.
A believer is not given any license to sin. As the Word preached is a manifestation of Gods Word that cannot lie. That isn’t preaching that we don’t have an old man nor that we may not sin – but it is truly a word that cant give license as God is light and in him is not darkness.
Preaching is a tree of life. Preaching is heralding Gods Word of promise & truth from the beginning. That God has shared his Word with man to make him wise
How did God promise eternal life before time began & how did Paul the apostle come to see, believe and preach it.
There are three main senses in which Jesus can be said to have been slain from the foundation of the world:
1. God intended for Christ to die from the very first moment of creation. “Let there be Light,” the physical creation of light, looked forward to Jesus the true light coming into the world (Jn 1.) Christ was not a plan B after the Fall of Adam or a plan C after Israel rebelled. God’s intention had always been to send Christ the Redeemer to lay down His life that His blood might cover the sins of believers.
2. The death of Christ was certain from the foundation of the world. As Barne’s Bible commentary puts it, “The purpose was so certain, it was so constantly represented by bloody sacrifices from the earliest ages, all typifying the future Saviour, that it might be said that he was “slain from the foundation of the world.””
Scripture sometimes uses heterosis/the prophetic perfect tense to speak of a prediction or promise of God as if it has already happened. Isaiah 5:13, Amos 5:2, Jude 14; etc. The idea behind this idiomatic way of speaking is that it shows the complete reality and assurance of the promises and prophecies of God. If He declares it, it will be so, and so placing it in a ‘past tense’ emphasizes that reality and assurance.
Rev 13:8, likewise, has that idiomatic element of assurance. The plan of God that Christ would lay down his life and be slain as the perfect Passover lamb was decreed from the foundation of the world, therefore it was certain from the foundation of the world, therefore the lamb ‘was slain from the foundation of the world’ not because Jesus literally died then, but because that was when God decreed it.
3. The third way Jesus was slain from the foundation of the world is in the sense of application: Jesus’ blood covers those believers in the promise who died before His literal death on the cross. Jesus’ blood covers Adam, the Patriarchs, and all who looked forward to the promised Messiah. So His blood is counted as a covering from God’s wrath from the foundation of the world. At the judgement, those believers in the promise will be covered by the blood just as those believers who die post-cross are covered by the blood.
God identified with Moses in his anger at the oppression of the sons of Israel.
a return into Eden a land of promises fulfilled – Acts Ch 2.
Holiness means their must be a Cross for the Son of God.
Gods first spoken Word did not return void.
Gen Ch 1 v3. Light that creates light-life is a promise Abraham was commanded to look to the heavens for. According to Godliness, a demarcation from darkness and the concealing of the Son.
The Word of God. God cannot lie, promised before the world began – light and there was light. This gives all the glory to God – it is a burning bush – it is God fulfilling his own promise to Abraham – It is the God of Glory who appeared to Abraham, as Stephen preached being full of the Holy Spirit.
The stars cant glory in there own light, that was the start of the great fall and hidden knowledge.
But oh the corruption of man and his flesh and motives of his heart.
But OH the wonder of the Cross, pitch darkness – and a CRY: Father pardon them, for this is why you have forsaken me. Today if you will hear his voice – not a stricken Rock with the arm of anger: so harden not your hearts. As it will bring you streams of living water even in the wilderness.
Acts Ch 1 & 2:
V14: one accord in prayer.
Together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers & sisters. Doesn’t that breath balance into humanity, doesn’t it elevate the religious stress and strain.
Now Peter, on the very eve of Pentecost has a focus on one thing and one thing only.
GODS WORD AND GOD CANNOT LIE.
Peter affirms a command from the scripture that another must take his office.
Peters reasoning was sound, it was grounded in the Word of God and the truth that God cannot lie.
I am more now of the opinion that Peter is spot on, and that God was not winking at his ignorance and the man who would later reprove him for his hypocrisy.
Peter before the Spirit is poured out according to the Word of Promise, gets in tune with the Word of God. Jesus has been preaching unto them and preparing their hearts and understanding. Could the Lords ministry have been ineffective? Could Peter like Moses have been taking up his arm of flesh? NO, I don’t think so, is he not anointed to SPEAK to all those rocks on the day of Pentecost? Isn’t that an endorsement of the harmony pre and post Pentecost through the Word of God, who cannot lie.
Peter had grasped something pre pentecost and it was imperative harmony for his Preaching post. Post modern has autonomy, but not POST PENTECOST THAT IS CONSISTENT TRUTH.
Let another take his office, surely that must refer to a witness from John Baptist time as each of them where. And does not Acts Ch 6 v2 endorse the twelve, Matthias devoted himself to prayer and the ministry of the Word of God just like the other 11 apostles. Let there be light, let another take his place – Gods Word must be fulfilled.
After Jesus ascended the whole focus is on Peters preaching on the Word of God having to be fulfilled. Surely Peter has grasped a hold of the hope of eternal life, that God that cannot lie, promised before the foundation of the Word.
Surely this harvest feast is a multiplication of the grace of the passover.
When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together, Matthias and the 11, in one place. Someone had taken his office.
And what does Peter do, when some mocked that they were filled with new wine?
But Peter, standing with the eleven! Evidently, Luke who penned his account under the inspiration of the Spirit endorsed that which Peter had done.
Let this be know to you – this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel.
Peter shows the harmony. Gods Word will be fulfilled, God cannot lie.
This Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.
This verse is full of mystery. It has deep theology within it, it is a testimony that God the Father purposefully gave his Son to change the nature of lawless and religious men.
The ultimate rejection of God could only fulfill his intention in saving for eternity mans soul. How can this be? What kind of provision is this? What kind of man is this?
The extreme cost to God the Father, the physical and spiritual agony of the Cross.
God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
Now I may not have words to articulate it, but this here is expression to that which Paul had his faith in, in hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie, promised before the world began.
loosing the pangs of death! That which had come due to the fall, that which is sadly far to common in and around Bakhmut.
It was not possible for Jesus to be held by death!
Jesus is the very promise of God, that God cannot lie, that gives us eternal life.
It is not possible that God can lie.
The devil and his hidden knowledge cannot change or alter the Creators Word of life, the original mandate he gave unto man & women: Sons and daughters, even on your male servants and female servants.
Jesus the unseen man of Genesis Ch 2.
When man bite and digested a lie that God had concealed a good thing to be desired to make one (autonomy) wise man died spiritually as God cannot lie.
The Word of God is the truth of God, The Word of God went into the ground and died so that he could be reproduced according to Gods kind.
Now the truth of God can only be established by the Word of God dieing, otherwise he can’t reproduce according to a fullness of grace that is truth.
Definite plan and foreknowledge – The Word of God had to die as man was dead in trespasses and sins.
The Word of God had to die so that the promise of eternal life would be fulfilled in Him for us. Jesus the Word of God, as it was not possible that he could be held by death.
Believing in the definite plan and foreknowledge of Jesus at Calvary is to drink from his side that was pierced once for you.
—— That you were in Christ before the foundations of the world.
Jesus said to her, ‘Mary’ – just spoke her name once – the stones and stone had already been moved away.
The gardener the Nuclei of all life.
Luke Ch 4v16-21
Before his baptism John preached the Words prophesied in Isaiah.
After his baptism and 40 days in the wilderness Jesus found the place where it was written:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lords favor.
Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.
Before the world began Gods word promised freedom from oppression, depression, blindness and captivity & chains – all the impact of the fall.
Titus Ch 1 v3: the manifestation of his Word through preaching.
Jesus is the Promised Land of GOD: Jesus is all the promises of God.
Jesus is the fulfillment of the promise of the Father: A dearly beloved Son of God.
Jesus is the intercession that revealed the returning Word from God: It is Finished, Into your hands I commit my Spirit. Drops of blood he sweated in the garden of Gethsemane – his Fathers perfect cup to drink, the better wine the passover side.
Jesus is the spoken word, into the fall and breach of mankind, he is the voice that brings life through the rock: And the angels love to behold him, the gardener teaching how to tend: face to face again, not separated by a veil.
Note:
Quite long and struggled a bit with expression and articulation, but its the core of scriptures studied through the week.
Acts Ch 9 v20:
And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, ‘He is the Son of God’.
– – – – Liberty breathed into that granite structure as the sound of many waters poured out from the belly of one who now believed in the living and speaking Word of God.
A light from heaven shone around them – He who shared his heart and mind with Moses was about to speak to this Pharisee.
And falling to the ground, from whence man had been formed by the hands of the Lord, he heard a voice in the cool breeze of that day.
Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?
The women caught in a breach of the commandment, brought into the temple, and her they wanted to stone. But Saul had been fully privy to the stoning of a choice man who had evidently been giving testimony to having been granted access to a throne of grace through a man preferred before Moses, Jesus the eternal Son of all Gods love.
But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.
But rise! Would Jesus have less kindness to speak into his life than a women caught in natures night. Are liberal or conservative, does he love either less.
V11: Rise – for behold, he is praying.
But! Ananias had a question to ask despite the very specific information he had been given by the Lord.
The Lord speaks to Ananias, and it carry’s all of them same relationship that Moses had.
God made man in his image, to enjoy communion with him in the Cool of the day.
The Lord changeth not.
He is praying – Intercession!
Prayer is the medium through which are hearts discover a speaking God! And that is according to godliness, as Jesus is the Holy One of Israel. And that is Sonship, with all of the balance of being in Gods family.
Prayer is the very centre of each quartet within the harmony of God fulfilling his promises unto his friend Abraham.
Cornelius, Peter, Paul and Ananias.
Pre and Post Pentecost – In Prayer – The Word of God and promise go hand in hand with prayer, as Jesus is in constant prayer as are high priest and intercessor: Hence as he is the Word, prayer comes through the opening of are hearts to the Word: The person and nature of God, godliness. And don’t we need the word and prayer to be godly in a fallen world.
Scripture doesn’t state that Ananias was praying, but its still the centre, as its the reason God speaks to him to Go, and talking to the Lord is also prayer/intercession.
God fills Saul with the Holy Spirit when Ananias Speaks the full pardon of God to his brother.
Family the balance of God for this Pharisee of Pharisees wedded to Commandments graven on stone which cannot produce, or make a staff to bud. That requires the unconditional source of lights nuclei, the love that sent his Son to die for a fallen human race: which when heard makes are faces to shine. The direct impact of having been in the presence of the first and the last.
– 12 apostles – 12 tribes of Israel. Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles, and prayer is the intercession that drew forth from God his plan since before the World began: even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.

12 men baptized in Holy Spirit in Ephesus. Before the WORD of God and promise is heralded in that quarter of the earth: Asia
The Holy Spirit speaking through the open side of Calvary, concerning the Spirit of prophesy: Sons & daughter, Male slaves and Female slaves.
The Holy Spirit speaking during prayer: Seeing a man, and a women’s heart being opened and a captive slave being liberated according to the Spirit and Word of the Lords liberty: setting captives free.
Male & Female made in the image of God: The Word of God unto four corners of the World: A man and a women inside the ark of the quartet peaks of vision: Acts Ch 9 v32-43.
The ark of testimony: Male and female.
Yesterday we had a Word in are family service on Noah and his ark.
Afterwards I had a good conversation with a teenager about the message & they asked a question about the biggest occasion that God had intervened in judgement for man good in history outside of the Cross.
They then added that as a question, ‘would it be the flood’.
Well as we considered it we came to an agreement that Yes, the flood was the biggest as it covered the whole earth/world and not just a plaque confined to Egypt etc.
This got me to thinking why is it so unique and what is God speaking through the flood and the ark that has its roots in the Cross of Jesus Christ.
Well it came as we talked around it, that we are all descendants from Noah.
We were all inside that Ark, all people on planet earth today are descendants from the Noah’s ark.
And therefore God is speaking through this that it is not his will that any should perish.
God would have all men to repent and believe in his Son and his sacrifice that they may have eternal life: Whether they had been a thief or like Barabbas a murderer.
He paid the highest price that the prison doors into heaven may be opened eternally.
Finally, Finally Finally – Note, note note:
Visions come from Summit peaks. And perhaps this post comes from the Word heralded.
That’s the reach of Gods ‘Net’ – in ter ah – God had a Son for the Whole Wide World: The right side of the ship.
Yes, I’d apply, more than ever I feel I don’t really know the book. But my duties are clearly with my family and wonderful local Church.
