''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death''




                       CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH

                                                      Part 32.

                                          The House Of God!

For years many, many people every Sunday, Saturday or whenever, have faithfully attended Church
services in what is termed by many the house of God & have never remotely known what the house โ€“
Temple โ€“ of God is. Some have thought that they knew, but only to a degree, just enough to appease the
conscience as it were. The adversary has carefully kept this secret very well guarded for when peoples
minds are suddenly opened to this truth - as it has to some already - there will be such a change in many
lives that it will be stupendous. ''For the Lord has His eye upon mankind as upon all the tribes of
Israel.'' Zech 9:1b. Can we believe that God would make this declaration even in the O.T. That His eye
was upon ALL MANKIND as His hand was upon Israel even then. Why? ''For all souls are mine, says
God'' ''For the earth is the Lord's & all they who dwell therein.'' ''For the Lord whom you seek will
suddenly come to His Temple.'' His corporate temple. And it will happen to ''every man in his own
order.'' Or time! Thank God!! For God knows who are His, - every man - & every man that has been, is
now, & shall be born are his creation & all have within themselves the 'Most Holy Place' in their own
abiding place within which is the Temple of God. ''For it is God which works within you both to do of
His own good pleasure.''

   ''What house will you build for me, or what is the place of my rest? Says the Lord. Yet, the Most
High dwells not in temples made with hands, as says the prophet.'' Acts 7:48โ€“49.

     David asked the question. ''One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and
[insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life,
to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord
and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.'' Psa 27:4. Now even though David erected a tent
which housed the 'Ark of the Tabernacle' & was a dwelling place for God it was a type or metaphor of the
true tabernacle which was & is MAN, a Tabernacle which God pitched & not that which man built.

    ''In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of his temple,
and my cry came before him, even into his ears.'' Psa 18:6. Where did the voice of David come from?
Out of His temple, out of his innermost being. Every human being was created in the image of God, but
alas, ''What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earth-born] man that You care for
him? Yet You have made him - man, all men - but a little lower than God [or heavenly beings], and You
have crowned him with glory and honour.'' Psa 8:4-5. The Young's version puts it this way. ''And
caused him to lack a little of Godhead.'' Is that not beautiful? This is referring to every man, it matters
not who you are that are reading this at the moment, I do not care what your status is - neither does God -
He does not take into consideration how low you have dropped into the drug, alcohol, or any other vice or
scene, you are God's creation & within you if you can receive it IS THE DWELLING PLACE OF GOD & it
is your prerogative, privilege & eternal right to take advantage of that which is within you & experience a
fellowship with the ETERNAL ONE who is part of your very own self, ''For in him we live, and move,
and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.'' Acts
17:28. This is your TRUE IDENTITY. For you are the HOUSE THE TEMPLE OF GOD. As one has said
there are SONS OF GOD right now sitting on bar stools who do not yet know that they are of the election.
I am hoping that this is not upsetting any of our doctrinal or legalistic opinions. We are NOW TODAY
experiencing the Third Realm or Most Holy Place experience.

  Please allow me to cite a phrase from Mary Wood. Quote:- ''The reason that others cannot see a Third
Day is because of the fact that our consciousness has been rapture-d or caught up.'' -: Unquote.

''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death''




    Now this has been our experience all along in progressing from one degree of glory into another &
once we begin to understand the Third or Most Holy Place Realm, we realise that, as in any further
revelation it is most easily misunderstood by those whose conscious awareness' are not yet at that level. I
am not meaning this in a proud way, but if we give it some thought this has always been so.

                                Coming To Be Glorified IN His Saints!

In other words Christ is now making a personal second appearance in me/us,''when he comes to be
glorified in his saints and marvelled at in all believers on that day'' which has already began. 2Thes
1:10a. Moffatt. Please take note IN HIS SAINTS. God is changing our separated or lowered
consciousness into a Christ consciousness. The reason that we came into a conscious awareness originally
is that God wished to reproduce Himself. Firstly God who is love wanted to reproduce himself in Life,
Love & Godliness.

   Jesus was saying to the Jews, to US & to the WHOLE WORLD, that I am the pattern Son, what I am you
really are also, & as you use FAITH, you will realise that you can & will be the same also. Taking the
Jn10:30-36 text into consideration ''I and my Father are one.......for what good work do you stone
me?......because you being a man make yourself God!..... Jesus said, Is it not written in your law, I said,
You are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be
broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme;
because I said, I am the Son of God ?'' & coupling it with ''But whenever a person turns - in full
repentance - to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken away.'' 2Co 3:16, AMP. Also , ''Yet if ever it
should reach a turning back - fully - to the Lord, the covering - or veil - is taken from about it." 2Cor
3:16. CLV. I believe that Jesus was not only referring to the time that the sons of God would experience
the change - of incorruptibility - but even before the change that we would be 'where I am there you may
be also' Jn 14:3. This verse is not referring to - going to heaven - the way many have been led to believe
- & is a very instilled belief among most Christians - but after Christ returned & issued the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit, even to us today it is referring to the here & now. If this is not so then I would humbly ask
an explanation of this phrase found in both Rev 2:26 & 3:21. ''And he who overcomes is victorious.'' The
first verse is alluding to ruling with Christ the second verse is referring to sitting on the same throne as
CHRIST & the FATHER. Actually they are both saying the same thing. These are alluding to the 144,000, -
an unidentifiable number - the Man-child, the manifestation of the sons of God, ''those who follow the
Lamb wherever He goes ---- redeemed from among men as the first-fruits for God & the Lamb.'' Rev
14:4.

    Now the question I wish to ask is this; If we do not overcome in the here & now & realise that when
we read - ''for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of
Christ. And this until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a
full-grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;'' Eph 4:12-13. MKJV, - is this for
the here & now? If we think that it is going to take place after a rapture into the sky of what profit, & how
could it be an overcoming on our part if God does it with a zip bang & your there on the throne without
ever overcoming in the here & now? ''He has raised us up to sit together & given us joint seating with
Him in heavenly places NOW.'' Let us now hear what Paul has to say to us in the book of Ephesians.

   ''May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty
power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].
17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your
hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, 18 That you may have the power
and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that
love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; 19 [That you may really come] to know
[practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge
[without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may

have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God
Himself]!'' Eph 3:19-19 Amp. ''Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly: and your whole
spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.'' 1Th 5:23.
Darby.

    As there are degrees in our consecration, as we progress from one degree of glory to another, so the lid
is being lifted on end time revelation. Our level of repentance keeps stride with what is being revealed &
as we repent or turn from what is outdated, this in turn causes us to deepen our consecration, then as we -
more fully - turn to the Lord the VEIL is lifted to suit. ''For whoever has [spiritual knowledge], to him
will more be given and he will be furnished richly so that he will have abundance; but from him who
has not, even what he has will be taken away.'' Mat 13:12. AMP. Now this further spiritual
understanding will only increase when & after we come to know the TRUE location of THE HOUSE OF
GOD..... To add, a great part of this further understanding or LIGHT is found in the truth of,

                                       Our Full Adoption As Sons!

With this particular theme there seem to be differing ideas but I believe that we are mostly saying the same
thing but expressing it in different ways, according to the situation that we are in at the time. I very much
like the way that both George Hawtin & David Weber another Kingdom writer explain it. To elaborate
further on what we have been saying, I now share something that David Weber has written on the three
stages of adoption in the original Hebrew family & the comparison with what God's sons are now, & are to
experience.

   Quote :- "For the anxious longing of the creature waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.
For the creation was subject to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that
the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the
children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth until
now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves
groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons..." (Romans 8:19-23)

    Beloved, even a brief glimpse into this passage of scripture from Romans should reveal to us that the
"adoption of sons" or the unveiling of the Son in fullness in a company of sons is something which yet
lies ahead for the body of Christ. We, who have received a measure of the Spirit now
wait ...GROANINGLY WAIT! for our adoption as sons. We were foreordained unto adoption as sons, but
the actual adoption is something for which we are now waiting. Thus, this "adoption" is not simply the
matter of our coming into the family of God through regeneration of our spirit, but rather, it is something
which is the end result of God's fiery dealings with us unto the full and complete surrender of our souls!

    I would like to take a quick look at the life of Jesus as it is revealed to us in the Gospels because in His
life we can see a pattern which reveals the three stages of spiritual growth in a believer ... from infancy
(teknion) ... to puberty (teknon) ... to maturity (huios). This is revealed in Jesus' manger birth and
circumcision on the eighth day, to His appearing in the temple at age 12, to His adoption ceremony and
His Father's proclamation of His Son-ship at the Jordan at age 30 ("30" is the biblical number for
"maturity").

  The pattern shown to us in the life of Jesus, is also revealed to us in the life of the average Israelite
male (which I mentioned earlier). Jesus then spiritually amplifies for us that pattern with His life.

   In the life of the average Hebrew boy there were three major events which drew broad public attention
to him. The first of these events was his "Circumcision," which occurred when he was an infant, at eight
days old. This was the moment that he was marked as a "covenant man" in Israel, and was celebrated
throughout the community.


                                                              3
''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death''


   The second major event was his "Bar-Mitzvah," which took place as he was about to enter into puberty.
The word Bar-Mitzvah actually means "a son accountable," and this signified the time, not only when he
was held accountable for keeping the Commandments of God, but also when he was to become an
apprentice under his father in the family business. This, too, was celebrated as a very special event in the
life of the child, just as it is today.

   The third event was what was known as the "Huiothesia," or the (young man's) "adoption ceremony."
The word "Huiothesia" means "Son Placement," and indicates the time when a male child reached what
was considered to be the age of maturity (somewhere around 30). At this time, the father of the young
man would place his hand on the head of his son and openly proclaim, "This is my beloved son in whom
I am well pleased!'' I bestow upon him now all of my riches and power and authority (through power of
attorney) so that he might act on my behalf in all of my affairs."

   Beloved friends, can you see that the three experiences that are described in the life of an Israelite male,
and the three stages shown to us in the life of Jesus, are to be spiritually discerned so that we may
understand God's enduring process for our own spiritual growth into sons? Can you now understand why
Jesus would say to Mary and Joseph at age 12, "Know ye not that I must be about My Father's business?"
Can you see that He was proclaiming His just then entered apprenticeship under the Father? At that point
Jesus was just entering an 18 year stage of "learning the family business" so to speak. His Son-ship
ceremony at the Jordan which would "fulfil all righteousness" and launch His glorious Son-ship ministry
would not be performed until He reached the full stage of "maturity." The Holy Spirit's descent like a dove
upon Jesus was in essence the hand of the Father coming upon the Son to proclaim His Son-ship ministry!
The Father said, "This is My Beloved Son in Whom I AM well pleased!" Many of us have not
understood the full ramifications of those words, or that ceremony, until now. But there is now a great
light of revelation being shed upon such things in this day.

                                                          Why?

   Because the time for our adoption as "sons" is drawing nigh beloved. Our Father is preparing to bestow
the riches and the power and the glory of His Kingdom upon a people, and that without measure! But He
won't give that power to spiritual infants! No, He won't. Nor will He give it to spiritual children... But the
Father is waiting (as is all of creation) to bring forth sons. This is the precious fruit of the earth for which
the Husband-man has been patiently waiting.
   May the Lord give us the grace to endure the trials and the chastening that we must suffer unto son-
ship, and that, so that He may have that company of sons upon whom He can place the great authority and
power that is needed to rule and reign with Him in the Kingdom of God.... ''even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons..." -: Unquote.

     This is all a part of the fulfilling of the next two verses & are very much part of each other.

                        The Crisis Of The Realisation Of The Bottomless Pit!

''Now the judgement (crisis) of this world is coming on [sentence is now being passed on this world].
Now the ruler (evil genius, prince) of this world shall be cast out (expelled). And I, if and when I am
lifted up from the earth, will draw and attract all men [Gentiles as well as Jews] to Myself.'' Jn 12:31-
32. AMP. The judgement is in the understanding that this so called ruler or adversary is none other than
our mistaken identity which if we allow it will lead us in the way of the world, things that are on the
outside, things of the flesh, things of what we can see, touch & hear, ''For where your treasure is there
will be your heart also.'' Money, cars, etc. As I read recently. ''The true mark of a son is when he asks
most often for spiritual blessings instead of temporal blessings. One will know that he is no longer
numbered among those who mind earthly things, when in all his seeking, he seeks only those things which
are above, ''where Christ sits on the right hand of God.''

''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death''


    The thought that we shared in our last issue regarding the adversary being cast into the bottomless pit,
''bottomless'' meaning that which has no foundation, will be a great help to all of us in overcoming, when
we realise that actually ''the ruler of this world - our mistaken identity โ€“ is being cast out (expelled).''
This is the same thought that is given to us when we read ''And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will destroy with the brightness of his
coming:'' 2Th 2:8. The brightness of His coming meaning ''That He is coming to be glorified IN His
Saints'' If we can receive it the only world that this ruler, evil genius, prince, wicked one, or Antichrist, is
being cast out of, or being consumed from with the spirit of His mouth is the WORLD that is within us.
Jesus said that after 'He was lifted up from the earth - the resurrection โ€“ He would draw โ€“ drag as a
magnet - & attract all men to Himself.' Now myself I see this to mean also that when He - our true
Christ identity โ€“ is lifted up โ€“ caught up, rapture-d, ascended, WITHIN US & takes us away from our
earthly mundane way of thinking, & our whole desire is set only on rising up & away from our carnality
etc. Into the high place of believing who we really are now, SONS; & the realising & expecting of OUR
FULL ADOPTION, 'to wit the redemption of our bodies.'

  ''TAKE NO THOUGHT for your life, what you shall eat, or drink, what you shall put on. Is not the life
more than meat & clothes. or your needs, top-line motor cars, etc, TAKE NO THOUGHT for tomorrow,
for after these things do the GENTILES - unbelievers - seek. BUT SEEK FIRST the KINGDOM OF GOD
& His righteousness & ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU . No man can serve two
masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise
the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon, or worldly things. ''For your Heavenly Father knows
what you have need of.'' These sayings are found in Matt 6.

 Quote :- ''Vicious is the enemy, but I shall smite him & destroy his plans to hinder My people from moving
forward into their calling & destiny. I will completely destroy the works of the enemy in the midst. I will
dethrone him & establish My throne. Because you are willing, I shall come to you & assist you. I shall
hear your cries of intercession & bring liberty. This is the day promised to you. This is the covenant I have
made with you. This is the promise fulfilled that you & your household shall be saved.'' -: Unquote. By
Shirley Lise. Of course the Throne of God is in HIS TEMPLE & 'ye are the temple โ€“ house - of God.'

                                     God's Wonderful Sabbath Day!

A very wonderful part of this end-time message is that in the truth of the millennial kingdom, it is the
Sabbath day of all Sabbath days. It is the Day of God. All the rest were only metaphors or types or
shadows of the REALITY. When Jesus went into synagogue on the Sabbath day & confronted a man with
an unclean spirit & cast it out, He was demonstrating by type or a parable that in the wonderful kingdom
Sabbath, that the bondages of the adversary or the prince of the power of the air - aer - that now dwells or
rules in the hearts of unbelievers, will be conquered cast out & taken away. Jesus also healed the man
who was born blind - on the Sabbath - showing that there will be not be any blind, literally or spiritually.
In ages past the adversary has 'blinded the minds of them that believe not' but in the day approaching,
God's ''wonderful Sabbath day'' there will be no veils to mar or to cover man's understanding, '' for God
shall lead by a way that was not heretofore known'' & with a clear & open understanding โ€“ the vision of
God โ€“ will be opened up so clearly that all will behold the glory of God.

   So our great Jesus demonstrated to us this wonderful parable of healing the lame man, showing us that
in the great kingdom Sabbath that there will not be one person that will not be able to walk the walk. In
comparison with today there are so many who have given up because of either difficulty or
misunderstanding of what is expected or how to walk, or maybe discouragement, but in the millennial
Sabbath reign the 'lame man shall leap as an hart.' So too the healing of the man with the withered arm
represents those whose experience has dried up & withered by the roots. We may also notice that He
raised the dead on the Sabbath day, remembering that ''He is the resurrection & the life.'' especially of that
day as it will be the completed many membered Christ in action on that wonderful day. When He shall

                                                              5

reign as King of Kings in the glory of His Father's kingdom we shall also as Kings & Priests reign &
minister with & as Him. ''And saviours shall come upon mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and
the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.'' Oba 1:21.

   This is all has to do with the sentence that is now being passed on this world & has been in action since
the time that Jesus was lifted up - resurrected - from this world. The time now has now escalated & is fast
drawing to the time of increasing judgement krisis. There are some sad, but to the believer yet exciting
times to happen, to he who is found in the will of God, & wonderful comfort is found in the following
verses.

   ''The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me
beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, - this realm of our lowered consciousness - I
will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. He prepares a table before
me in the presence of my enemies: He anoints my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.''
Psa 23:1-6.
                                    A Prelude Of The True Sabbath!

  ''And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There be some here of them that stand by, which shall
in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power. 2 And after six days Jesus
took with him Peter, and James, and John, and brought them up into a high mountain โ€“ a transcending
experience - apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them: 3 and his garments became
glistering, exceeding white; so as no fuller on earth can whiten them. 4 And there appeared unto them
Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. Mar 9:1-4. Revised.

   As with much of what Jesus said there were at least three depths involved, the literal, the spiritual & the
prophetical. Outer Court, Holy Place, & The Most Holy Place. Also remembering that there was the feast
of Passover, the feast of Pentecost & the feast of Tabernacles, if this was all one as some have suggested
then God would have had one feast for all, but we are told that there was separation time between each
separated feast, if it was in the wisdom of God to separate these feasts each with & for a special purpose,
who are we to suggest any different. There is a definite important reason for every single act of God.
Nothing is haphazard in the workings & wonderful plan of God. Ps 89:15 Amp. The above Mark 9 text
also contains a parable of what is to happen in our very near future. And after SIX DAYS meaning on the
SEVENTH DAY - a metaphor of the seventh thousandth year millennial reign - Jesus took with Him the
three disciples - typifying an elect company - of the inner sanctum as it were, AFTER six days & not on the
sixth day. He brought Peter, James & John UP into a HIGH MOUNTAIN APART BY THEMSELVES. Then He
was transfigured - metamorphosed - before them. This is also prophetic regarding the experience the elect
sons are to have as in the birth of the man-child. Peter gives his own account of this in 2 Peter 1:16-19.

    ''For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from
God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is
my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: 18 and this voice we ourselves heard come out of heaven,
when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 And we have the word of prophecy made more sure;
where-unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and
the dayโ€“star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private
interpretation.'' 2 Pe 1:16-20. Revised. We have this sure word of prophecy & are exhorted to take heed
until the DAY DAWNS & the DAY STAR Jesus Christ arises - in His fullness - in our hearts. When? In the
seventh day, or the seventh thousandth year, which is the millennial or Sabbath day of the Lord, which will
be a very HIGH MOUNTAIN & TRANSCENDING EXPERIENCE to all who are fulfilling this role.

                     The Eternal Plan & Timing Is In God's Wisdom & Power!

We hear of some well meaning theories & statements being propounded as to why none have not yet made
the changeover. I realise that there are a lot of factors involved, especially in our own minds. I wish to
humbly suggest that it may have something to do with the plan of our eternal creator God & His
wonderful wisdom & timing. ''Every man in his own order or time''. As far a I am concerned ''He is
working all things according to His will & purpose'' which would include the time factor. I would not go
so far as to blame others as to why they have not yet manifested. Please allow me to quote once again
from George Hawtin. Now I know that to some that this may seem to be a contradiction in terms but I
personally see much wisdom in this small extract. Quote :- '' The natural mind does not know what is
good or what is evil. It does not know that the ''house of mourning is better than the house of feasting,'' or
that ''sorrow is better than laughter, for by the sadness of the countenance, the heart is made better.'' If
such an evil as pain or sickness brings us nearer to God, then it is no longer evil, but good & is no more
worthy of rebuke. To the spiritual man the will of God is not a cross but a crown, for it is his daily delight.
It is his meat & drink, his joy & satisfaction. Withhold a man from the will of God & he would die of
utter longing. He has learned the meaning of the text, ''As the heart pants after the water-brooks, so pants
my soul after thee Oh God.'' -: Unquote. The will of God is not the same for everyone & it is not wise to
judge everyone by our own experience & opinion.

                                             A Contrite Heart!
                                  In the dense forest of words I was lost;
                                 In the letter of truth was tiredness & fear,
                                But in thy Spirit only, are shade water & rest.      Goldsmith.

A few days ago I was meditating feeling a little sorry for myself as a certain acquaintance snubbed me
because he through another friend had been shown one of our articles. Now usually this would not worry
me too much but for certain reasons it did. As I was sharing this with the Lord, He suddenly spoke within
my spirit & informed me that I was no better than the acquaintance in question. Then suddenly the words
of the song came to me. 'By this shall all men know that you are my disciples if ye have love one to
another.' I wish now to apologise to any that are reading these pages; to any who I have been short or
have not shown the grace that I should have in not returning good for evil, or maybe I should say for what
I have thought was evil. I have been in the way long enough to know that if I do not obey the leading of
the Lord when He speaks that it will be detrimental to both myself & the ministry. I was also given insight
as to why this has been so long in coming. Some of us have things in our background that have long been
forgotten & are many times hidden to us simply because we do not wish to bring them out of the closet &
face them. May God bless you each & all.

                                           Reaching Maturity!

A number of years ago I was given a dream, which shook me up & warned me that if I associated with
those that were not of son-ship that I would easily slip back & be easily snared & taken. The dream was
so real & poignant, that I very readily took heed & escaped the snare that was about to entrap me. I still
thank God for that dream. Lately since I have been seeing the reality of the bridegroom & the bride,
namely the man-child & the woman in the wilderness. A strange new feeling for the bride has began to
interest me. These are the thoughts I am now receiving. When boys are young they don't as a rule want to
mix with little girls & visa versa, the little boys like to play boys games & girls like to play with dolls or
such like. But alas boys mature & so do girls & at a certain age maturity develops & attraction begins.
Suddenly I am very interested in the woman in the wilderness. As we mature & we know our status & the
little girls are no longer going to embarrass us because they are different, we now know who we are. Just
recently I had a God ordained experience, a friend of mine met some people who had not long started
some meetings. He went to a meeting & was very impressed with the procedure & that they have gained
quite a few in a very short while. He thought that it would be good if I were to meet the man in charge.

''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death''


So at about 3pm I meandered around there, just before I arrived - this man knew nothing about me as my
friend had never mentioned me - God spoke to this man & told him I am sending a man who is to preach
the message tonight, he no sooner received these words that I then drove around the corner & got out of
the car, he asked me who I was, & I mentioned my friend. He said you are to preach tonight. God
immediately gave me a three-fold theme. The upshot was that with a partly collapsed lung we brought a
message on reconciliation with an anointing with a difference. Everyone was amazed as I will be 78 next
birthday. My friends God is about to do something NEW AGAIN. The woman is waiting in the wilderness
as it were. I do not completely understand it. But many of us are no longer little boys & I am very
interested in the woman. Are we understanding this!! I am not in fellowship there, but we are available
any-time.
                                                         The Promised Land!

I did so appreciate along with many others I am sure, the enlightenment that our brother J. Preston Eby
gave us in his last article on the true meaning of the Promised Land being Christ. We are always learning
- we alone do not have it altogether, but together we have it all - we are a wonderful corporate body with
many facets. In support to this thought I was considering only yesterday this powerful prophetical verse.

   ''Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. 19 And the LORD will answer
and say to his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with it;
and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: 20 But I will remove far from you the
northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate,- the prince of this world shall be cast
out - with his face towards the east sea, and his hinder part towards the utmost sea, and his odious
scent shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he has done great - or terrible - things.''
Joel 2:18-20. ''Thus he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.'' Dan 11:45. I think that we
could also mention that the - bottomless pit - would also be a part of this deal. Amen.

                                                  Again A Voice From The Past!

Irenaeus: 130 to about 200 A.D. โ€œ Bishop of Lyons. His nearness to the apostles makes his testimony
most interesting. Irenaeus did not believe evil would last forever. In his treatise Against Heretics, he
wrote in Book 111, chap. 23, ยง6:โ€ 1
   ''Wherefore also He drove him (Adam) out of Paradise, and removed him far from the tree of life, not
because He envied him the tree of life, as some dare to assert, but because He pitied him and desired that
he should not continue always a sinner, and that the sin which surrounded him should not be immortal,
and the evil interminable and irremediable.'' --- Irenaeus. 2     Rom 8:20-21. AMP.

                All of this is greatly helped when we realise that we are the House of God!
Blessings to all.

Part 32. the house of god.

  • 1. ''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death'' CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH Part 32. The House Of God! For years many, many people every Sunday, Saturday or whenever, have faithfully attended Church services in what is termed by many the house of God & have never remotely known what the house โ€“ Temple โ€“ of God is. Some have thought that they knew, but only to a degree, just enough to appease the conscience as it were. The adversary has carefully kept this secret very well guarded for when peoples minds are suddenly opened to this truth - as it has to some already - there will be such a change in many lives that it will be stupendous. ''For the Lord has His eye upon mankind as upon all the tribes of Israel.'' Zech 9:1b. Can we believe that God would make this declaration even in the O.T. That His eye was upon ALL MANKIND as His hand was upon Israel even then. Why? ''For all souls are mine, says God'' ''For the earth is the Lord's & all they who dwell therein.'' ''For the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His Temple.'' His corporate temple. And it will happen to ''every man in his own order.'' Or time! Thank God!! For God knows who are His, - every man - & every man that has been, is now, & shall be born are his creation & all have within themselves the 'Most Holy Place' in their own abiding place within which is the Temple of God. ''For it is God which works within you both to do of His own good pleasure.'' ''What house will you build for me, or what is the place of my rest? Says the Lord. Yet, the Most High dwells not in temples made with hands, as says the prophet.'' Acts 7:48โ€“49. David asked the question. ''One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.'' Psa 27:4. Now even though David erected a tent which housed the 'Ark of the Tabernacle' & was a dwelling place for God it was a type or metaphor of the true tabernacle which was & is MAN, a Tabernacle which God pitched & not that which man built. ''In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.'' Psa 18:6. Where did the voice of David come from? Out of His temple, out of his innermost being. Every human being was created in the image of God, but alas, ''What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earth-born] man that You care for him? Yet You have made him - man, all men - but a little lower than God [or heavenly beings], and You have crowned him with glory and honour.'' Psa 8:4-5. The Young's version puts it this way. ''And caused him to lack a little of Godhead.'' Is that not beautiful? This is referring to every man, it matters not who you are that are reading this at the moment, I do not care what your status is - neither does God - He does not take into consideration how low you have dropped into the drug, alcohol, or any other vice or scene, you are God's creation & within you if you can receive it IS THE DWELLING PLACE OF GOD & it is your prerogative, privilege & eternal right to take advantage of that which is within you & experience a fellowship with the ETERNAL ONE who is part of your very own self, ''For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.'' Acts 17:28. This is your TRUE IDENTITY. For you are the HOUSE THE TEMPLE OF GOD. As one has said there are SONS OF GOD right now sitting on bar stools who do not yet know that they are of the election. I am hoping that this is not upsetting any of our doctrinal or legalistic opinions. We are NOW TODAY experiencing the Third Realm or Most Holy Place experience. Please allow me to cite a phrase from Mary Wood. Quote:- ''The reason that others cannot see a Third Day is because of the fact that our consciousness has been rapture-d or caught up.'' -: Unquote. 1
  • 2. ''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death'' Now this has been our experience all along in progressing from one degree of glory into another & once we begin to understand the Third or Most Holy Place Realm, we realise that, as in any further revelation it is most easily misunderstood by those whose conscious awareness' are not yet at that level. I am not meaning this in a proud way, but if we give it some thought this has always been so. Coming To Be Glorified IN His Saints! In other words Christ is now making a personal second appearance in me/us,''when he comes to be glorified in his saints and marvelled at in all believers on that day'' which has already began. 2Thes 1:10a. Moffatt. Please take note IN HIS SAINTS. God is changing our separated or lowered consciousness into a Christ consciousness. The reason that we came into a conscious awareness originally is that God wished to reproduce Himself. Firstly God who is love wanted to reproduce himself in Life, Love & Godliness. Jesus was saying to the Jews, to US & to the WHOLE WORLD, that I am the pattern Son, what I am you really are also, & as you use FAITH, you will realise that you can & will be the same also. Taking the Jn10:30-36 text into consideration ''I and my Father are one.......for what good work do you stone me?......because you being a man make yourself God!..... Jesus said, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God ?'' & coupling it with ''But whenever a person turns - in full repentance - to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken away.'' 2Co 3:16, AMP. Also , ''Yet if ever it should reach a turning back - fully - to the Lord, the covering - or veil - is taken from about it." 2Cor 3:16. CLV. I believe that Jesus was not only referring to the time that the sons of God would experience the change - of incorruptibility - but even before the change that we would be 'where I am there you may be also' Jn 14:3. This verse is not referring to - going to heaven - the way many have been led to believe - & is a very instilled belief among most Christians - but after Christ returned & issued the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, even to us today it is referring to the here & now. If this is not so then I would humbly ask an explanation of this phrase found in both Rev 2:26 & 3:21. ''And he who overcomes is victorious.'' The first verse is alluding to ruling with Christ the second verse is referring to sitting on the same throne as CHRIST & the FATHER. Actually they are both saying the same thing. These are alluding to the 144,000, - an unidentifiable number - the Man-child, the manifestation of the sons of God, ''those who follow the Lamb wherever He goes ---- redeemed from among men as the first-fruits for God & the Lamb.'' Rev 14:4. Now the question I wish to ask is this; If we do not overcome in the here & now & realise that when we read - ''for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. And this until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;'' Eph 4:12-13. MKJV, - is this for the here & now? If we think that it is going to take place after a rapture into the sky of what profit, & how could it be an overcoming on our part if God does it with a zip bang & your there on the throne without ever overcoming in the here & now? ''He has raised us up to sit together & given us joint seating with Him in heavenly places NOW.'' Let us now hear what Paul has to say to us in the book of Ephesians. ''May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. 17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, 18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; 19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may 2
  • 3. ''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death'' have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!'' Eph 3:19-19 Amp. ''Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly: and your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.'' 1Th 5:23. Darby. As there are degrees in our consecration, as we progress from one degree of glory to another, so the lid is being lifted on end time revelation. Our level of repentance keeps stride with what is being revealed & as we repent or turn from what is outdated, this in turn causes us to deepen our consecration, then as we - more fully - turn to the Lord the VEIL is lifted to suit. ''For whoever has [spiritual knowledge], to him will more be given and he will be furnished richly so that he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.'' Mat 13:12. AMP. Now this further spiritual understanding will only increase when & after we come to know the TRUE location of THE HOUSE OF GOD..... To add, a great part of this further understanding or LIGHT is found in the truth of, Our Full Adoption As Sons! With this particular theme there seem to be differing ideas but I believe that we are mostly saying the same thing but expressing it in different ways, according to the situation that we are in at the time. I very much like the way that both George Hawtin & David Weber another Kingdom writer explain it. To elaborate further on what we have been saying, I now share something that David Weber has written on the three stages of adoption in the original Hebrew family & the comparison with what God's sons are now, & are to experience. Quote :- "For the anxious longing of the creature waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subject to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons..." (Romans 8:19-23) Beloved, even a brief glimpse into this passage of scripture from Romans should reveal to us that the "adoption of sons" or the unveiling of the Son in fullness in a company of sons is something which yet lies ahead for the body of Christ. We, who have received a measure of the Spirit now wait ...GROANINGLY WAIT! for our adoption as sons. We were foreordained unto adoption as sons, but the actual adoption is something for which we are now waiting. Thus, this "adoption" is not simply the matter of our coming into the family of God through regeneration of our spirit, but rather, it is something which is the end result of God's fiery dealings with us unto the full and complete surrender of our souls! I would like to take a quick look at the life of Jesus as it is revealed to us in the Gospels because in His life we can see a pattern which reveals the three stages of spiritual growth in a believer ... from infancy (teknion) ... to puberty (teknon) ... to maturity (huios). This is revealed in Jesus' manger birth and circumcision on the eighth day, to His appearing in the temple at age 12, to His adoption ceremony and His Father's proclamation of His Son-ship at the Jordan at age 30 ("30" is the biblical number for "maturity"). The pattern shown to us in the life of Jesus, is also revealed to us in the life of the average Israelite male (which I mentioned earlier). Jesus then spiritually amplifies for us that pattern with His life. In the life of the average Hebrew boy there were three major events which drew broad public attention to him. The first of these events was his "Circumcision," which occurred when he was an infant, at eight days old. This was the moment that he was marked as a "covenant man" in Israel, and was celebrated throughout the community. 3
  • 4. ''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death'' The second major event was his "Bar-Mitzvah," which took place as he was about to enter into puberty. The word Bar-Mitzvah actually means "a son accountable," and this signified the time, not only when he was held accountable for keeping the Commandments of God, but also when he was to become an apprentice under his father in the family business. This, too, was celebrated as a very special event in the life of the child, just as it is today. The third event was what was known as the "Huiothesia," or the (young man's) "adoption ceremony." The word "Huiothesia" means "Son Placement," and indicates the time when a male child reached what was considered to be the age of maturity (somewhere around 30). At this time, the father of the young man would place his hand on the head of his son and openly proclaim, "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased!'' I bestow upon him now all of my riches and power and authority (through power of attorney) so that he might act on my behalf in all of my affairs." Beloved friends, can you see that the three experiences that are described in the life of an Israelite male, and the three stages shown to us in the life of Jesus, are to be spiritually discerned so that we may understand God's enduring process for our own spiritual growth into sons? Can you now understand why Jesus would say to Mary and Joseph at age 12, "Know ye not that I must be about My Father's business?" Can you see that He was proclaiming His just then entered apprenticeship under the Father? At that point Jesus was just entering an 18 year stage of "learning the family business" so to speak. His Son-ship ceremony at the Jordan which would "fulfil all righteousness" and launch His glorious Son-ship ministry would not be performed until He reached the full stage of "maturity." The Holy Spirit's descent like a dove upon Jesus was in essence the hand of the Father coming upon the Son to proclaim His Son-ship ministry! The Father said, "This is My Beloved Son in Whom I AM well pleased!" Many of us have not understood the full ramifications of those words, or that ceremony, until now. But there is now a great light of revelation being shed upon such things in this day. Why? Because the time for our adoption as "sons" is drawing nigh beloved. Our Father is preparing to bestow the riches and the power and the glory of His Kingdom upon a people, and that without measure! But He won't give that power to spiritual infants! No, He won't. Nor will He give it to spiritual children... But the Father is waiting (as is all of creation) to bring forth sons. This is the precious fruit of the earth for which the Husband-man has been patiently waiting. May the Lord give us the grace to endure the trials and the chastening that we must suffer unto son- ship, and that, so that He may have that company of sons upon whom He can place the great authority and power that is needed to rule and reign with Him in the Kingdom of God.... ''even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons..." -: Unquote. This is all a part of the fulfilling of the next two verses & are very much part of each other. The Crisis Of The Realisation Of The Bottomless Pit! ''Now the judgement (crisis) of this world is coming on [sentence is now being passed on this world]. Now the ruler (evil genius, prince) of this world shall be cast out (expelled). And I, if and when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw and attract all men [Gentiles as well as Jews] to Myself.'' Jn 12:31- 32. AMP. The judgement is in the understanding that this so called ruler or adversary is none other than our mistaken identity which if we allow it will lead us in the way of the world, things that are on the outside, things of the flesh, things of what we can see, touch & hear, ''For where your treasure is there will be your heart also.'' Money, cars, etc. As I read recently. ''The true mark of a son is when he asks most often for spiritual blessings instead of temporal blessings. One will know that he is no longer numbered among those who mind earthly things, when in all his seeking, he seeks only those things which are above, ''where Christ sits on the right hand of God.'' 4
  • 5. ''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death'' The thought that we shared in our last issue regarding the adversary being cast into the bottomless pit, ''bottomless'' meaning that which has no foundation, will be a great help to all of us in overcoming, when we realise that actually ''the ruler of this world - our mistaken identity โ€“ is being cast out (expelled).'' This is the same thought that is given to us when we read ''And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will destroy with the brightness of his coming:'' 2Th 2:8. The brightness of His coming meaning ''That He is coming to be glorified IN His Saints'' If we can receive it the only world that this ruler, evil genius, prince, wicked one, or Antichrist, is being cast out of, or being consumed from with the spirit of His mouth is the WORLD that is within us. Jesus said that after 'He was lifted up from the earth - the resurrection โ€“ He would draw โ€“ drag as a magnet - & attract all men to Himself.' Now myself I see this to mean also that when He - our true Christ identity โ€“ is lifted up โ€“ caught up, rapture-d, ascended, WITHIN US & takes us away from our earthly mundane way of thinking, & our whole desire is set only on rising up & away from our carnality etc. Into the high place of believing who we really are now, SONS; & the realising & expecting of OUR FULL ADOPTION, 'to wit the redemption of our bodies.' ''TAKE NO THOUGHT for your life, what you shall eat, or drink, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat & clothes. or your needs, top-line motor cars, etc, TAKE NO THOUGHT for tomorrow, for after these things do the GENTILES - unbelievers - seek. BUT SEEK FIRST the KINGDOM OF GOD & His righteousness & ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU . No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon, or worldly things. ''For your Heavenly Father knows what you have need of.'' These sayings are found in Matt 6. Quote :- ''Vicious is the enemy, but I shall smite him & destroy his plans to hinder My people from moving forward into their calling & destiny. I will completely destroy the works of the enemy in the midst. I will dethrone him & establish My throne. Because you are willing, I shall come to you & assist you. I shall hear your cries of intercession & bring liberty. This is the day promised to you. This is the covenant I have made with you. This is the promise fulfilled that you & your household shall be saved.'' -: Unquote. By Shirley Lise. Of course the Throne of God is in HIS TEMPLE & 'ye are the temple โ€“ house - of God.' God's Wonderful Sabbath Day! A very wonderful part of this end-time message is that in the truth of the millennial kingdom, it is the Sabbath day of all Sabbath days. It is the Day of God. All the rest were only metaphors or types or shadows of the REALITY. When Jesus went into synagogue on the Sabbath day & confronted a man with an unclean spirit & cast it out, He was demonstrating by type or a parable that in the wonderful kingdom Sabbath, that the bondages of the adversary or the prince of the power of the air - aer - that now dwells or rules in the hearts of unbelievers, will be conquered cast out & taken away. Jesus also healed the man who was born blind - on the Sabbath - showing that there will be not be any blind, literally or spiritually. In ages past the adversary has 'blinded the minds of them that believe not' but in the day approaching, God's ''wonderful Sabbath day'' there will be no veils to mar or to cover man's understanding, '' for God shall lead by a way that was not heretofore known'' & with a clear & open understanding โ€“ the vision of God โ€“ will be opened up so clearly that all will behold the glory of God. So our great Jesus demonstrated to us this wonderful parable of healing the lame man, showing us that in the great kingdom Sabbath that there will not be one person that will not be able to walk the walk. In comparison with today there are so many who have given up because of either difficulty or misunderstanding of what is expected or how to walk, or maybe discouragement, but in the millennial Sabbath reign the 'lame man shall leap as an hart.' So too the healing of the man with the withered arm represents those whose experience has dried up & withered by the roots. We may also notice that He raised the dead on the Sabbath day, remembering that ''He is the resurrection & the life.'' especially of that day as it will be the completed many membered Christ in action on that wonderful day. When He shall 5
  • 6. ''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death'' reign as King of Kings in the glory of His Father's kingdom we shall also as Kings & Priests reign & minister with & as Him. ''And saviours shall come upon mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.'' Oba 1:21. This is all has to do with the sentence that is now being passed on this world & has been in action since the time that Jesus was lifted up - resurrected - from this world. The time now has now escalated & is fast drawing to the time of increasing judgement krisis. There are some sad, but to the believer yet exciting times to happen, to he who is found in the will of God, & wonderful comfort is found in the following verses. ''The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, - this realm of our lowered consciousness - I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies: He anoints my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.'' Psa 23:1-6. A Prelude Of The True Sabbath! ''And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There be some here of them that stand by, which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power. 2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John, and brought them up into a high mountain โ€“ a transcending experience - apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them: 3 and his garments became glistering, exceeding white; so as no fuller on earth can whiten them. 4 And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. Mar 9:1-4. Revised. As with much of what Jesus said there were at least three depths involved, the literal, the spiritual & the prophetical. Outer Court, Holy Place, & The Most Holy Place. Also remembering that there was the feast of Passover, the feast of Pentecost & the feast of Tabernacles, if this was all one as some have suggested then God would have had one feast for all, but we are told that there was separation time between each separated feast, if it was in the wisdom of God to separate these feasts each with & for a special purpose, who are we to suggest any different. There is a definite important reason for every single act of God. Nothing is haphazard in the workings & wonderful plan of God. Ps 89:15 Amp. The above Mark 9 text also contains a parable of what is to happen in our very near future. And after SIX DAYS meaning on the SEVENTH DAY - a metaphor of the seventh thousandth year millennial reign - Jesus took with Him the three disciples - typifying an elect company - of the inner sanctum as it were, AFTER six days & not on the sixth day. He brought Peter, James & John UP into a HIGH MOUNTAIN APART BY THEMSELVES. Then He was transfigured - metamorphosed - before them. This is also prophetic regarding the experience the elect sons are to have as in the birth of the man-child. Peter gives his own account of this in 2 Peter 1:16-19. ''For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: 18 and this voice we ourselves heard come out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; where-unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the dayโ€“star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.'' 2 Pe 1:16-20. Revised. We have this sure word of prophecy & are exhorted to take heed until the DAY DAWNS & the DAY STAR Jesus Christ arises - in His fullness - in our hearts. When? In the seventh day, or the seventh thousandth year, which is the millennial or Sabbath day of the Lord, which will be a very HIGH MOUNTAIN & TRANSCENDING EXPERIENCE to all who are fulfilling this role. 6
  • 7. ''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death'' The Eternal Plan & Timing Is In God's Wisdom & Power! We hear of some well meaning theories & statements being propounded as to why none have not yet made the changeover. I realise that there are a lot of factors involved, especially in our own minds. I wish to humbly suggest that it may have something to do with the plan of our eternal creator God & His wonderful wisdom & timing. ''Every man in his own order or time''. As far a I am concerned ''He is working all things according to His will & purpose'' which would include the time factor. I would not go so far as to blame others as to why they have not yet manifested. Please allow me to quote once again from George Hawtin. Now I know that to some that this may seem to be a contradiction in terms but I personally see much wisdom in this small extract. Quote :- '' The natural mind does not know what is good or what is evil. It does not know that the ''house of mourning is better than the house of feasting,'' or that ''sorrow is better than laughter, for by the sadness of the countenance, the heart is made better.'' If such an evil as pain or sickness brings us nearer to God, then it is no longer evil, but good & is no more worthy of rebuke. To the spiritual man the will of God is not a cross but a crown, for it is his daily delight. It is his meat & drink, his joy & satisfaction. Withhold a man from the will of God & he would die of utter longing. He has learned the meaning of the text, ''As the heart pants after the water-brooks, so pants my soul after thee Oh God.'' -: Unquote. The will of God is not the same for everyone & it is not wise to judge everyone by our own experience & opinion. A Contrite Heart! In the dense forest of words I was lost; In the letter of truth was tiredness & fear, But in thy Spirit only, are shade water & rest. Goldsmith. A few days ago I was meditating feeling a little sorry for myself as a certain acquaintance snubbed me because he through another friend had been shown one of our articles. Now usually this would not worry me too much but for certain reasons it did. As I was sharing this with the Lord, He suddenly spoke within my spirit & informed me that I was no better than the acquaintance in question. Then suddenly the words of the song came to me. 'By this shall all men know that you are my disciples if ye have love one to another.' I wish now to apologise to any that are reading these pages; to any who I have been short or have not shown the grace that I should have in not returning good for evil, or maybe I should say for what I have thought was evil. I have been in the way long enough to know that if I do not obey the leading of the Lord when He speaks that it will be detrimental to both myself & the ministry. I was also given insight as to why this has been so long in coming. Some of us have things in our background that have long been forgotten & are many times hidden to us simply because we do not wish to bring them out of the closet & face them. May God bless you each & all. Reaching Maturity! A number of years ago I was given a dream, which shook me up & warned me that if I associated with those that were not of son-ship that I would easily slip back & be easily snared & taken. The dream was so real & poignant, that I very readily took heed & escaped the snare that was about to entrap me. I still thank God for that dream. Lately since I have been seeing the reality of the bridegroom & the bride, namely the man-child & the woman in the wilderness. A strange new feeling for the bride has began to interest me. These are the thoughts I am now receiving. When boys are young they don't as a rule want to mix with little girls & visa versa, the little boys like to play boys games & girls like to play with dolls or such like. But alas boys mature & so do girls & at a certain age maturity develops & attraction begins. Suddenly I am very interested in the woman in the wilderness. As we mature & we know our status & the little girls are no longer going to embarrass us because they are different, we now know who we are. Just recently I had a God ordained experience, a friend of mine met some people who had not long started some meetings. He went to a meeting & was very impressed with the procedure & that they have gained quite a few in a very short while. He thought that it would be good if I were to meet the man in charge. 7
  • 8. ''Christ the Antidote Regarding Death'' So at about 3pm I meandered around there, just before I arrived - this man knew nothing about me as my friend had never mentioned me - God spoke to this man & told him I am sending a man who is to preach the message tonight, he no sooner received these words that I then drove around the corner & got out of the car, he asked me who I was, & I mentioned my friend. He said you are to preach tonight. God immediately gave me a three-fold theme. The upshot was that with a partly collapsed lung we brought a message on reconciliation with an anointing with a difference. Everyone was amazed as I will be 78 next birthday. My friends God is about to do something NEW AGAIN. The woman is waiting in the wilderness as it were. I do not completely understand it. But many of us are no longer little boys & I am very interested in the woman. Are we understanding this!! I am not in fellowship there, but we are available any-time. The Promised Land! I did so appreciate along with many others I am sure, the enlightenment that our brother J. Preston Eby gave us in his last article on the true meaning of the Promised Land being Christ. We are always learning - we alone do not have it altogether, but together we have it all - we are a wonderful corporate body with many facets. In support to this thought I was considering only yesterday this powerful prophetical verse. ''Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. 19 And the LORD will answer and say to his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with it; and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: 20 But I will remove far from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate,- the prince of this world shall be cast out - with his face towards the east sea, and his hinder part towards the utmost sea, and his odious scent shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he has done great - or terrible - things.'' Joel 2:18-20. ''Thus he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.'' Dan 11:45. I think that we could also mention that the - bottomless pit - would also be a part of this deal. Amen. Again A Voice From The Past! Irenaeus: 130 to about 200 A.D. โ€œ Bishop of Lyons. His nearness to the apostles makes his testimony most interesting. Irenaeus did not believe evil would last forever. In his treatise Against Heretics, he wrote in Book 111, chap. 23, ยง6:โ€ 1 ''Wherefore also He drove him (Adam) out of Paradise, and removed him far from the tree of life, not because He envied him the tree of life, as some dare to assert, but because He pitied him and desired that he should not continue always a sinner, and that the sin which surrounded him should not be immortal, and the evil interminable and irremediable.'' --- Irenaeus. 2 Rom 8:20-21.
