Dear Beloved,
It may interest you to know that there
are as many unhealthy assumptions among God’s people of what the enemy actually
stole from mankind as there are presumptions about what God primarily restored
to man through Christ and this is why Satan is always encouraged when believers
REST after receiving what is termed ‘BREAKTHROUGH’.
I
thank God for breakthroughs i.e. the supernatural manifestations of God’s hand
that excites our minds when we see such on a crusade grounds or in our physical
life! I’ve experienced it and still trust God for it but we can confirm from
Matt. 6:30-34/7:7 that it was never God’s ordination for man to SEEK what is called
‘Breakthroughs’ today! God only gave provision for men to ASK in faith for ‘Breakthroughs’ while the Soul was meant to SEEK only what we originally lost i.e. Things
Eternal/The Spiritual/Things Above! Col. 3:2
2 Cor. 4:18 While we look not at the things
which are seen, but at the things which
are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are
eternal
-
The Lord knew that Satan has an edge
in the physical by virtue of his internal constitution (Eze. 28:12-14) which
makes him brighter than multitudes of men, so He designed a path where he can
blindly stray into and have his wisdom crucified by the Faith to Faith walk of
believer (1 Jn. 5:4)
-
The Lord therefore used a wisdom
that Satan never understood before his fall to ordain A Walk of Faith that would enable men to locate and inherit what
they lost through Adam!
-
The Lord then explained through his
Holy Apostles that The Art of Seeking
is the exclusive destiny of the Soul whereby it would ultimately Inherit The Spiritual.
-
The Lord knew that believers would
‘get to heaven’ without this understanding but they would do so with a stunted spiritual growth that would
give a legal right to the accuser of the brethren to brag about those three elements of the world that he
couldn’t find in Jesus or in the early apostles like he bragged against Job, so
He left Christians without an excuse by documenting the Instructions For Living Above The Wisdom of This World in the Epistles!
1 Jn. 2:16 ‘For all that is in the world, the
lust of the flesh, and the lust of
the eyes, and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is of the
world’.
Jn. 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with
you: for The Prince of This World
cometh, and has nothing in me. (i.e. the 3 elements of the world in 1 Jn. 2:16
were absent in Jesus)
The
effect of the fall of man through Adam is therefore still holding sway because
we have not lavished the energies of our soul in seeking what Sons with Spiritual Statures like
Abraham, Enoch, Moses, Job, Zachariah, John The Baptist, The Apostles, remnant
of the early Church or even Balaam (before he erred) celebrated as
breakthrough! These old faithful went from Faith to Faith through those raw
trials that enabled them to wrestle against The Course/Wisdom of This World.
While many primarily seek to inherit The Physical which has been further
exalted by pulpits today, those old faithful sought to Overcome The Natural By Capturing The Spiritual through A Walk of Faith after the order of
Knowledge (the wisdom/operation of his face) and not just The Initial Walk of Faith after the order
of Believing (the blessing/operation of his hands). They began as Believers but ended up as ‘Knowers’ and with such Knowledge of The Holy, they caused the
kingdom of God to advance.
Num. 24:16-17 …Balaam the son of Beor hath said,
and the man whose eyes are open hath said…which heard the words of God, and knew the KNOWLEDGE of the most High,
which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance…I shall see him,
but not now…
Our
generation would come and go without the kingdom truly advancing if we don’t
press into the stature of faith that the Lord/his Apostles experienced because
our ministrations would only attend to our physical insatiable needs while God’s Needs which can only be met when
Sons arise would consciously or unconsciously be despised!
So,
those old faithful/Sons earlier mentioned primarily graduated in their Faith to Faith Walk where they
ultimately discerned the reign of Spiritual Life (Dominion) which they
inherited via conversations characterized by Dying To Self Daily! They discerned the perverted priestly wisdom
by which Satan weaved/packaged The
Carnal Life in very enticing manners and therefore despised it!
Rom. 5:17
As we compare spiritual with
spiritual, we would then discern a hard truth from the bible i.e. “What the Gospel has come to
give a believer is not primarily Miracles”! Moses wrought miracles
before children/unbelievers around but he personally desired to experience The
Face of The Lord that was later revealed in the New Testament! Miracles were
described as children’s bread in Mark 7:26 because through those physical
exploits, something higher is being
advertised i.e. The Spiritual!
Exo. 33:18/20 And he said, I beseech thee, show me
thy glory…. and he said, Thou canst
not see my face
2 Cor. 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding
as in a glass the glory (face) of
the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit
of the Lord.
Num. 14:22 “Because all those men which have
seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the
wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened
to my voice”
We
are therefore called to seek something far higher than miracles/the works of
His Hand! We are called to Seek the
ministration of Christ Face/Hidden Wisdom (2Cor.3:18/4:4) where the power
to change us like into the soul state attained by the Apostles is resident!
Dan. 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as
the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as
the stars forever and ever (i.e. not a new birth experience but a turning of
the heart that would bring about the salvation of the Soul -)
Most of The
Gospel Paul preached was addressing believers who needed to be saved in their
Soul by a Walk from Faith to Faith like they have been saved in their Spirit
i.e. The Salvation of The Soul!
Rom. 1:16-17 ‘For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the Power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes (i.e.
believers are not yet initially saved in their Souls)…For therein is the
Righteousness of God (not miracles but a revealed knowledge) revealed from Faith To Faith
The Gospel of Christ, which Apostle
Paul preached is therefore a Power
that carries out a Spiritual work on The Soul by x-raying and communicating the
substances of God’s Righteousness - a Spiritual Knowledge!
My prayer is that even though The Faith of The Son/Salvation of The Soul message
is one that the doors of saints or Churches would not easily be opened to, may
we be humble enough to allow God confront some individual theology that
promises to limit our willingness to seek things beyond Faith Toward God i.e. The Revelations of Christ by which we can
only be built up to become an habitation for The Father & The Son like we
currently are for His Spirit! Jn. 14:23
Bless You!
