Prophecy
Saith the Lord, “I bring to you a new season, I bring a new atmosphere over this house.”
For saith the Lord, “things even in this conference are being brought to you. For yea I open the heavens over you. For I the Lord, I am the first witness of the morning: yea, I am the first Son in the morning. For things concerning the morning are things that I custody; they are things that I minister, they are things that I give”.
“For I have come in your midst to reveal things concerning My morning, to reveal things concerning My day: for I am in the day and I've come to make many come into My day. For grace is being given; strength is being given: yea wisdom is being given to quicken your pace”.
“For I will raise many sons of the morning’’. For saith the Lord, “not by power but by My Spirit. I will accomplish this; I will do this, I will wrought this, even in your midst”, says the Spirit of God.
Exhortation
Jesus Christ is the first servant of God. As you serve, you become more like Christ. Where we are going to is the realm of eternal service and before we get there, we need to learn spiritual service. The administration of Christ's service is in the Church. If you do not like Church, you do not like God. The inheritance is gotten in a corporate context, if you do not flock, you cannot inherit God. Christ teaches you how to be with your brethren and your pastors. You may feel like they are using you, rather, it is God using all of us. We will serve until we are fully saved; it is a privilege to serve.
Message Begins
The book of Hebrew is a document for sonship. The skill of the writing is powerful and profound, every verse is loaded. The sole essence of the high priestly ministry of Christ is to administer eternal rest. Rest is to enter God; God is an entity of rest. Eternal rest is who God is. Rest is to be an entity of salvation. A man that has rested is saved to the uttermost. Rest is to enter into God, or into the Promise.
The essence of the high priestly ministry of Christ is to raise a people who will enter into God. The land of promise is also the land of rest, and there was an oath attached to that land. God swore to Abraham that his seed will inherit the land (Genesis 48:4). The (physical) promise land is an allegory of God. God is our land. The essence of the high priestly ministry of Christ is for man to arrive in God. Christ is the first man that arrived and He has received the ordination.
Until you are taken from among men, you cannot be ordained for men in things pertaining to God (Hebrews 5:1). It will take someone that has owned and inherited that land to be able to administer it. When God begets a man, He manifests the essence of God. The begotten Son is the Son of rest. The Godhead are beings of rest. What informs rest is their DNA (a nature). Man does not know rest. The DNA of God is a rest DNA. Eternal life is the properties of rest.
God has been seated for ages, somebody (Satan) has been spoiling everything yet He is not moved, He is at rest. Rest is a state of life that defines salvation. When you are eternally saved, you are eternally at rest.
Job 1:6-7 - Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
In this Scripture, we see God speaking to Satan in a calm way; it portrays His state of rest. Yet, in His sitting, He wages war. When you inherit eternal life, you have inherited rest. Eternal life is the promise of the New Testament. The promise of rest is also the promise of eternal life (Hebrews 4:1).
Titus 1:1-2 - Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began
A servant is higher than an apostle. A man can be an apostle and not be a servant. A servant of God has overcome the world and the dragon. A servant of God is a witness of eternal life, what he serves is God. The epistles of the apostles are eternal. For years, we have been teaching the letters some men wrote, and the church has not fully understood them. It is good to be an apostle but go on to be a servant. Jesus authored faith, and He authored eternal salvation (Hebrews 12:1).
The faith of God’s elect (Titus 1:1); this faith becomes a man’s faith when he uses it. The law precedes the inheritance. When you obey the law of Christ, you inherit Christ; when you obey the law of eternal life, you inherit eternal life. God commanded faith to be taught. If Christ is not taught, God cannot be seen. God is a high thought (1 Timothy 6:15-16). What bridges the gap between man and eternal life is Christ.
Romans 1:4-5 - And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Obedience to the faith is the path to coming to the understanding of eternal life. A soul that has not obeyed faith cannot comprehend the concept of eternal life; he cannot comprehend being begotten of God. When faith is taught and obeyed, man can hope to inherit God. God is glory.
Colossians 1:27 - To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
This ‘Christ in you’ is beyond Christ in the spirit; it is the formation of Christ in the soul. This is the message of Paul. New Birth is instantaneous. We cannot play down on the New Birth. The work of apostles in the church was to teach the formation of Christ. Christ in you is Christ being established in the soul. You cannot hope for glory without Christ. If Christ is not formed in a man, he cannot conceptualize what it means to be glorious.
Romans 16:25 - Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
The allocation of the Gospel that was primarily given to Paul was Christ. What Paul began, John finished. Paul’s light is the first light. You need the light of Christ to navigate eternal life. Christ is also an inheritance, yet He is not the end. Christ is one who pants for God. When a man reaches Christ and turns back, it is terrible. That is why they warned Christ churches regarding the second death. One of the things they teach a Christ church is to have a trembling heart. Revelation is not for show; it must be handled with every sense of severity. Faith must be authored before eternal salvation is authored.
Romans 16:25-26 - Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
God commanded faith to be taught, because if faith is not taught, eternal life cannot be given as an inheritance. A soul that has not obeyed faith cannot respond to the demands of eternal life; eternal life is a greater demand.
The faith of God’s elect is the faith of the Son (Titus 1:1). The faith of the Son makes a person an elect; it takes you out of the heathen and makes you elect. The objective of faith is godliness. Faith used to get a car or anointing cannot make him godly. Only the faith of Christ can raise a godly man. A godly man is a Christ soul. The faith of Christ always produces godliness.
Faith comes first; faith must be authored for a soul to hope for eternal life (Titus 1:2). Eternal life is the promise. God is the Promised Land at which every man should arrive. The intention of God is for every man to inherit eternal life. The Gospel is being preached so that man can partake of the promise of God. If God did not attach an oath to this promise, maybe He could have changed His mind about it. When an oath is involved, it means it is sealed. God wants to give eternal things; Eternal things are given on the auspices of an oath.
Hebrews 6:18 - That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Nothing can stop the promise of eternal life. Before this age closes, God will raise begotten sons. It is a done thing; it does not depend on your faith. You believing it enables you to participate in it. Before angels were created, God already promised eternal life to man. Eternal life is older than sin and death. Eternal life is the calling of all callings, if you miss operating in the five-fold ministry, do not miss this one. You can miss some things but do not miss this one. You may not be the richest man but also be the meekest man. Do not seek to attract money; seek to attract eternal life.
Eternal life is a promise backed with an oath; it is so sure. Faith is set, eternal life is set; just obey it. The path is set; ministers are only to show the path and teachings are to strengthen us to obey. Eternal life is the rest (Hebrews 4:1). All the apostles taught the same message. Eternal life is the promise; eternal life is the rest; eternal life is the inheritance (1 John 2:25). You are quickened in your spirit not to make heaven, but to obey. Obedience is to the faith of Christ.
1 Peter 1:2-4 - Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
This mercy is the force of eternal life; it is what gives eternal life as an inheritance. The hope of eternal life is a living hope. If eternal life is not your hope, what you have is not a living hope. A living hope is a hope that is above the sun; it is not an earthly hope. The earth is a citadel of hopes. If you take hope from a man, you have taken life away from him. This world is a giver of hope. Any hope under the sun is a dead hope, it cannot give you incorruptibility. Any hope that can be corrupted or can fade away is not the hope of the Gospel.
Verse 4 shows the carats (grade/quality) of eternal life. We must know what Jesus really gives. Jesus can give many things, but the reason why He was raised of the dead is to give things that would not pass away, and that is your inheritance. The promise cannot be defiled – it does not change state. This is how we will know we do not have eternal life yet; not just by confession. God will give eternal life to people He has trained. You will be trained with life before you are given eternal life. Christ is the life of eternal life.
The spirit was dead but at New Birth but was quickened. The soul has to be bought back. If the spirit is not quickened, it would be impossible to buy back the soul. Your spirit is Christ already; however, what your spirit is must be communicated as doctrine to your soul; that is, the soul must learn Christ. Although you are quickened, you are not yet Christ. Christ is a man of charity. When you have Christ established in you, you have new things; but when the Son of God is established in you, you will have all things. You need new things to get all things.
According to 1 Peter 1:4, the inheritance is reserved in heaven; although it is not heaven. Currently, heaven is the most secured place to keep the inheritance. But they are building an eternal treasure house to keep it. To house God means that you have been entrusted with the treasures of incorruptibility. They want to make us a house of God; not just a house of the Holy Ghost. Therefore, they must take time to build us; it is the eternal project. The bible has only one message from Genesis to Revelation – the inheritance of eternal life.
Hebrews 1:10-11 - And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
Believers want to go to heaven, but God wants to go into them. For a man to house Rest (i.e. God), he must be eternal. The Being is higher than where He dwells; God is higher than heaven. The inheritance is not heaven, it is reserved in heaven because they are raising temples or houses that can contain it.
Hebrews 1:1-2 - God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
The highest expression of the high priestly ministry of Christ is speaking. Eternal life will be given by speaking. Jesus Christ as the begotten is the highest level of speaking that God will ever speak. This is more than God speaking through the Son; God spoke the Son. The highest speaking of God is that which can raise a begotten Son.
The last days according to the above scripture has begun since a long time. We are not in the last days any longer, we are in the last hour. This is the time for eternal life. Eternal life is the message of the third day. The Son of God is a raising by speaking of God. When God speaks, He is doing a work. God raises a work by His word. God spoke things to Christ, and Christ became the begotten Son of God. The begotten Son is the highest speaking of God, and heir of all things. Heir of all things is heir of salvation. Creation is under the feet of any man who has inherited all things.
John 1:1-3 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Things visible and invisible have their origin in the Word. The begotten Son is a witness of the eternal Word. God is all things.
2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Christ is the new man. We need to be made new first. The work of the New Testament Church is to raise new men. Only new men can comprehend God. They must give you the new law, and when you obey it, you become new. Charity is the bond of perfection in Christ.
Revelation 21:7 - He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Romans 8:17 - And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
God is our God legally. You are a child of God legally by New Birth. Revelation 21:7 explains the begotten Son. This sonship is in the future; it is the ‘then’. What will bring you into this sonship are ‘all things’. You will not be glorified unless you suffer with Him. When Christ was on the earth, He was a priest. He had to overcome death and enter glory to be made a high priest. What He ministers are properties of glory.
The Son is also a kind of prophet (Hebrews 1:1). There are prophets of Christ and prophets of God. Prophets are witnesses, they witness by life. We must first hear eternal life, and then we become it. The begotten Son of God is the first prophet of God. God has always been speaking. God has always engaged the earth by words. The powers of God are wrought when He speaks. Speaking is greater than creation. The substances of God are moved by speaking.
Preaching is the highest vocation on the planet that is how God wrought things in man. The greatest miracle of God is to raise changed men. Gifts of the Spirit are miracles, miracles do not change the heart; what changes the heart is doctrine. Miracles are to advertise the Word (Hebrews 2:4). Miracles are for unbelievers. Believers must learn God by faith. God does not reveal righteousness by miracles, but by faith.
These prophets in Hebrews 1:1 were sons of men. The last of these prophets was John the Baptist. Jesus referred to him as being more than a prophet (Matthew 11:9). He was greater than all that came before him. Only Adam was greater than John the Baptist; Adam was created Christ (a son of God).
Matthew 11:11 - Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
You know a prophet by his raising. Son of man is a title of the earth. Prophets are kings, they lived first, then they begat. This is the order; we live, then we beget. The last of these was John. Abraham was one of them. He was looking for a child, but he knew that the promise was beyond having a child. Moses knew that all the faces he was seeing were not God’s face; he knew he did not have glory, thus, He beseeched the Lord for this (Exodus 33:18-22). Enoch did not overcome death; he escaped it (Hebrews 11:5). The first man to overcome death is the begotten Son of God. All the prophets were looking for one thing - salvation.
1 Peter 1: 9-10 - Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
Obedience to faith precedes receiving salvation. Moses was not looking for miracles; he was looking for salvation. The prophets were types of Christ.
1 Peter 1:11 - Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
God was training them to bear witness. All the prophets were witnesses of Christ. God then raised the first begotten, who is the witness of God.
Hebrews 1:1-3 - God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
‘All things’ of God are made up of two things – God's glory and God’s image. The Son is image and glory. These are 'all things' of God. To be a begotten son is to have an inheritance of all things of God. It is to inherit God’s image and God’s likeness. God will not share His glory with any flesh, but He will share His glory with begotten sons (1 Corinthians 15:50).
