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.

The seven seals of the Lamb’s Book of Life needed to be opened by someone worthy.  Without the seals being broken, all of mankind is destined to death and destruction and the prophesied Glory covering the entire earth would not occur.  Both the Old Testament and the New Testament were prophesying of this future event of the bringing forth of the Sons of GOD.  If GOD is Love, then wouldn’t we be able to refer to these called out ones as the Sons of LOVE?

Our FATHER would have a Book that could not be opened but HE would have certain requirements that must be met before the seals could be lawfully broken.  There was nothing any man or group of men could do to cause those particular seals to be removed.  Their teaching, preaching, prophesying, crying, demanding, nor proclaiming would affect those seals.  Only the Lamb on the Throne met all the qualifications:

Revelation 5:6 Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth.

7 He stepped forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne.

8 And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.

The Greek word for Lamb is arnion.  The only times this word is used are in the Book of Revelation and John 21.  Jesus had arrived on the scene while the disciples were fishing and He instructed them to cast their nets on the right side of the boat (Grace).  They had been fishing on the left side (Judgment of the Law).  This was in the setting of the third appearance of Jesus (14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.).  They brought the 153 mature fish back to be eaten.  Jesus is using this setting to restore and reconcile Peter:

15 After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love (agapaō) me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love (phileō) you.” “Then feed my lambs (arnion),” Jesus told him.

This passage ties John’s Gospel to the Lamb mentioned throughout Revelation.  Jesus was the first lamb (arnion) and He references the Sons (pl. arnion).  The word Love used by Jesus represented unconditional or agapaō Love  whereas Peter replied with “brotherly” or phileō love.

The Lamb operates at the highest level of Love as does His Body (the 153 mature fish, the Sons of Love).   This Lamb was now standing between the Throne and the four living beings and the twenty-four elders.  He represents the full manifestation of FATHER and all of creation has been given to Him, even His enemies.

When He opens the Book, it is not something new but something being revealed for the time at hand.  That mystery being revealed is the manifestation of the Sons as the mature Body called as priests to minister to all of mankind, not as immature saints groping around trying to muster the anointing, but in His power and authority.

This Book has no multiple versions as interpreted by scholarly men and women.  It is pure in its content and purpose.  Those closest to the Throne were so moved by the qualifications of the Lamb to open the Book, they responded:

Revelation 5:

8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:

​​​“You are worthy to take the scroll,

​​And to open its seals;

​​For You were slain,

​​And have redeemed us to God by Your blood

​​Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 ​​And have made us kings and priests to our God;

​​And we shall reign on the earth.”

This Book of Life contains the Divine Intent of FATHER, nothing else.  Jesus walked out His portion of this Book.  The Sons are to walk out their portions in the same manner- not my will but YOURS be done.  This Book directs the Remnant’s words and actions for the Age now at hand.

This Book supersedes all previous books just as the New Testament superseded the Old Testament, just as the light of the sun is greater than that of the moon.  The Kingdom continues its progression through time and this Book is at the center of it.

Earlier this month my wife was up late after I went to bed.  In our household, I am the first one up, she is the last one to bed.  While preparing to go to bed, she heard music in the living room and thought the television was left on.  She went to investigate but it was already turned off.

The next night, she heard music again, somewhere in the house.  Once again she went to investigate.  All was silent as she went throughout the house.

The third night, the music was louder and she thought the music originated from the cabana and thought someone was in the cabana with the music on.  The music each night was like an orchestra.  She went outside to investigate once again.  She was at total peace but the lights were out and all was silent in the cabana.

I discovered the following piece this morning and believe it to be applicable to the three nights of music she experienced:

I quote:

“Many centuries ago there was a Greek musicologist named Boethius.  Boethius theorized that there were three main levels of music, and he gave each level a name.  The lowest form of music was what he called musica instumentalis.  This referred to audible music, either sung or played, performed mainly for entertainment purposes.  This is the kind that all people are most familiar with.  As we all know, there have been countless works of music written and played over the years which have been and still are incredibly beautiful but which still belong to this category.

            “The second highest level of music, according to Boethius, was what he called musica humana, which was an audible music, but referred only to that which existed between God and man.  It was not intended to be entertaining, but the music was spiritual in nature.  The song being sung could be a prayer, an exhortation to people, or it could even be a prophetic song.  We, of course, are familiar with and thankful for the gift of spiritual singing, that of singing a higher song in the Spirit that has never been sung before.       

              “But Boethius recognized that there existed music  of yet a far higher nature.  He recognized that there are symphonies that have always been playing in a realm that far transcends our natural ears.  He recognized that the earth, nature, the atmosphere, and all of Creation are lost in melodies far, far more beautiful than any human ear can hear, but which can be heard only by those who have spiritual ‘ears to hear,’ those who listen to the voice of the Spirit.  He called this level of music musica mundana, also given the names ‘Music of the Cosmos,’ ‘Harmony of the Spheres,’ or the ‘Symphony of the Universe,’ which referred to this very vibration of all celestial and terrestrial bodies and all of Creation.  The scriptures declare that even the very elements give glory to the King of kings! (Isa. 55:12; Job 38:7; Isa. 44:23).  Yes, there is indeed such music saturating even the air all around us.  But only the sons and daughters of the living God can tune in to that higher frequency and sing its melody, for these are they WHO ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD!

            “This music is more than just sound.  There are not necessarily any words with it.  It is not learned in words, nor does it depend upon words.  But it is a living, throbbing vibration of all that God is, which is felt and released from the very center of the spirit!  This music is the beauty and glory  of the Resurrected Christ!  It is the unbroken communion between Christ and His Church, between the Bridegroom and the Bride, and between the Creator and His Creation!

            “The source of power behind this Song of Songs is not musical overtones but SPIRITUAL VIBRATIONS of Perfect Love, Life Everlasting, Joy Unspeakable, and unending expressions of Praise and Thanksgiving, springing up from deep within a heart that is filled with all the fullness of Him who reigneth forever and ever!  It is a song BORN OF LOVE!  It doesn’t just tickle our natural ears, but it pierces the heart and spirit of men!  The Song actually operates on a Love so great that men’s hearts shall be opened and melted as they hear!  The Day shall come when they shall respond to the quickening power of that Song and join their voices with all the angelical host and sing and sing with such a lyrity of heart, mind, soul, body, and spirit until they become enraptured into the beauty of infinite harmony!  Creation shall then be truly lifted!  Chains shall be broken!  Captives shall be liberated as the Resurrected Christ is made alive!

            “We, as members of this glorious body of Christ, are called not only to sing that Song, but to BECOME that Living Song of Songs!  ‘And give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth’ (Isa. 62:7).  It is when we BECOME this precious melody of love that its power is made manifest.   We then BECOME this rhythm of glorified life, yea, earth’s heartbeat of Joy.  I pray that we all put on ‘ears to hear’ and join our voices with all the myriads of angels and become that Song.  For each individual who develops the power to hear it with spiritual ears can send it on and lift the burdened hearts of a weary world!  Hallelujah!  For, “Blessed are the people that know the joyful sound…!’ (Ps. 89:15).

            “As the never-ending fire of God which cannot go out, this Song has always been ringing throughout Creation and it cannot die.  Its melody of Life, Love, and Praise DEMANDS expression!  Some men may slam their doors, and try to drown it out, but all their noise cannot smother the living crescendo of Love!  Its power and impact are too great; it cometh from above”  End Quote.

By the way, the word “cabana” means tent and refers to tabernacle.  Selah!

There are seven seals to be broken in order to release the full contents of the Book of Life.  Seven is the number of Spiritual perfection or maturity, completeness.  As Isaiah 11 states, there are seven Spirits or “manifestations” of FATHER.

A seal is a token, a proof of authentication by an authority that the contents are genuine.  It is used to restrict access until an appointed time and will not allow unauthorized lawless access, tampering, or manipulation.  John was given the responsibility of communicating what he saw in the third Heaven, after he was instructed to “come up hither”.  The material of the seal itself is disposable and only has temporary value.  Once broken, it is discarded.  Seals come in varying sizes but each has a similar purpose- restrict the contents from being revealed and access until lawful entry.

Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”

3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

Only an authorized individual could break the seals.  “Who is worthy?” cried the messenger.  There are three realms that were searched out: heaven, earth, under the earth.  No one was found worthy in those three realms.  The people living on the earth today were considered.  Those who are dead (physically and spiritually) and buried were also under consideration.  Those who are deemed “spiritual” were inspected and found lacking.  None of the were even able to look at it!  None who walked by the spirit, soul, or body could open the Book.  None who had the revelation of Passover, Pentecost, or Tabernacles were qualified to open the Book.  There was something lacking for even no man in Heaven could open the Book.  John so desired for the full manifestation of the Sons of GOD to be released.  Was there not one person qualified?  What was John’s response?

4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.

I believe the Gospel of John to be the true first Gospel of the New Testament even though it is presented as the fourth Gospel.  Why do I believe this?  It is because John wrote from a different perspective and revelation than the others.  His Gospel begins with: 

John 1:1   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He began at the “Alpha” manifestation of Jesus Christ.  In this context, the “Omega” Gospel must be the last book of the New Testament.  These form the “bookends” of the revealing and manifestation of Christ.  He began the last Gospel with:

Revelation 1:The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John.

The Beloved Disciple who wrote from the perspective of Love provides us the Word spoken to him:

Revelation 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

As John was weeping when no man could be found to open the Book, one of the elders around the Throne spoke:

5:5   But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”

There is only One qualified to open this Book- Jesus Christ!  Once this Book is opened, the “Treasuries” of Heaven would be released to bring forth the knowledge of the Glory into all the earth.  These seals would not be opened prematurely, not until the Body has been matured to full perfection by Love.  “As HE is, so are we”!  To Him is given the authority to break the seals and bring forth the Sons into the fullness of their callings.

2 Corinthians 3:2  You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;

3   clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

The Remnant is called to be an Open Book for all to see.  We are called to be transparent and above reproach, lawful in our actions and intent, and motivated by Love.  We are called to walk in Truth and be the express image of Our Heavenly Father as a member of the Body of Christ.  We are called to be in and a member of the “Book of Life”.

The Ten Commandments written on stone tablets revealed the Law but not “Life”.  The Law was a ministry that produced death for the “letter kills” yet it was glorious in its own right as is written:

7  But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

Once the Law was given, people became accountable and in the end they died in the wilderness even though the saw the Glory in the cloud and in the pillar of fire.  The veil of Moses hid the fading of the glory on his face.  His ministry of the Law would fade in comparison to the ministry of THE SPIRIT for the SPIRIT is Life.  As we are led by THE SPIRIT, we form words, pages, and chapters in the Book of Life.  We are to be the Revelation of Love to all the world.

Can we be disqualified from being in the book?  The answer is “yes” as John wrote of what he heard and saw in the third Heaven:

Revelation 3:5  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

White raiment represents the state of being clothed in righteousness.  This Word spoken by Jesus clearly indicates that there is a condition which must be satisfied by the aspiring overcomer.  We are given a choice to overcome by coming into full maturity or become complacent at some point and be content with old “manna”.  Are you walking in fresh revelation or are you existing on past revelation only?  Have you lost your first Love for the Spiritual?

We are to be the Book of Life “sealed” up until the designated time ordained by Our Heavenly Father.  This Book IS the Revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ manifested in us for a world that has lost its way.  We are to be its many-membered Body and HIS full expression in HIS glory on this earth.  We are to be fruitful in all aspects as we walk in this fullness.  We will continue to be pruned until there is no unproductive aspect of our character.  The carnal nature will shrivel up,  die, and be removed as it is no longer desired.

John was given the responsibility to carry the message of this great revelation of the Alpha and Omega.  Of the writers selected by the Holy Spirit, John was given the responsibility to focus on Love and its fruit.  It was revealed as he penned the words of Jesus as He prayed for His glorification:

John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

For His disciples glorification in HIM:

9 “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.

For our glorification in HIM:

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Those who have been drawn to these writings must dwell on this prayer Jesus prayed!  We are called to unity with Him and to be made perfect in one.  What a blessing for Jesus to express the FATHER’S heart when He spoke the words He heard spoken to Him by FATHER:  “and (YOU) have loved them as You have loved Me.”

We are the Book of Life to be opened in Heaven, soon to be seen and read by the entire creation.  Now is the time to set aside every weight and distraction that would easily beset you.  I sense those who are chosen are in the final stages of preparation.  Soon, the seals of the book will be opened and HIS Glory will be seen by all the earth and it will eclipse the sun in its brightness thus turning the sun to darkness in comparison.

The seven seals will soon be opened and the revelation of LOVE will soon be fully expressed to all of creation!  We will be the living Epistle known and read by all men.  The new Book is what the sixty-six books of the Bible have been pointing to and it will replace the previous Two Testaments for it will be the final manifested and living expression of HIM filling this earth.

The right hand of God is a realm of power and authority and this is where Christ resides.  Paul speaks of this in Ephesians Chapter 1:

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

His inheritance is in His saints, the Remnant, the overcomers who have the eyes of their understanding enlightened.  Those of us who rise up to Heavenly places will have access to the mighty power resident in HIS Right Hand.  This is the same power:

20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

What a glorious revelation!  We have been shown the Way to the fullness of our individual and unique callings in the Body of Christ which is seated or residing at HIS Right Hand.  We are to sit with HIM in the Heavenly Places and from that Spiritual vantage point we will operate on earth as priests in the Order of Melchizedek.  This vantage point is the highest authority and power far above all else in existence.  After His resurrection, Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 28:18, “All power and authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”  He had been seated at the Right Hand of FATHER.

In Hebrews Chapter 10, we are once again shown where Jesus resides:

12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,

13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.

14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

Where are “his enemies”?  They are in this world, not in some distant galaxy.  Who is going to conquer those enemies?  It will be those who are chosen to ascend to Heavenly Places and take their position at the place of power and authority with HIM and in HIM as the Body.  As priests, they will have access to the Heavenly Places of power and authority to minister to all mankind and convert all of the enemies by Love to believers.  It will only occur after the enemies see the power and authority manifested on earth by those who have matured in the perfection of Love and operate solely by HIS Divine Intent.  These are the ones spoken of:

16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”

These are the greater works Jesus referred to as His many-membered Body brings Heaven to earth.  The glory and brightness of this Body will far exceed the light of the sun to the point where the sun will be darkened in comparison.  Our hearts must be circumcised and we must ascend in Love to Heavenly Places where the Right Hand of GOD resides.  Only from this vantage point will we rule and reign with Christ.

Do you think it is a coincidence that it was John who was told to “Come up hither!”?  John was the one who laid his head upon Jesus’ breast and heard the heartbeat of FATHER, the Creator of the universe.  He the wrote the Gospel and the Epistles on Love.  It was him who was chosen to write of the highest Spiritual realm.  Paul joined him in the pursuit of the mysteries reserved for those who were made aware of this higher realm, the third Heaven.  Paul was to impart the words which would lead us to the same revelation and even greater Truths reserved for this time in history:

Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

Now is the time of the greatest asking, seeking, and knocking for those things which are above in the third Heaven.  John the Revelator beheld the Open Door in Revelation Chapter 4:

1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”

2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.

We are very specifically told to “seek those things” which are located where Christ is- at the right hand of FATHER.  This is where the power and authority is found for us to minister from.  Our individual callings must emanate from this very place.  Otherwise, we will just be another wannabe.  Isaiah tells us from whence his calling came in Isaiah 6:

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said:

​​​“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;

​​The whole earth is full of His glory!”

​4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

Isaiah also experienced the Open Door in Heaven.  He received his prophetic calling from the Throne as one of the seraphim flew to him, his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar and touched his lips thus commissioning him.

Many are called: ​“Whom shall I send, ​​And who will go for Us?” was spoken from the Throne.  Isaiah replied , “Here am I! Send me.”  And he was chosen!  Where was Isaiah at when he responded?  In the third Heaven at the Open Door to the Throne and in the Presence of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

We are to “ask” for wisdom, to “seek” for understanding.  For what purpose?  To seek those things which are above, where Christ is!  This is where our Heavenly calling resides.

We must focus on the “Right Hand of FATHER”, where Christ is.  We are His Body.  Our source of power and authority is obtained as we walk through the Open Door.  This is the door where Jesus “knocked” and it was opened.  We are given descriptions of what resides at the Right Hand:

Psalm 118:

15 ​​The voice of rejoicing and salvation

​​Is in the tents of the righteous;

​​The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

16 ​​The right hand of the LORD is exalted;

​​The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.

17 ​​I shall not die, but live,

And declare the works of the LORD.

Declaring the works of the LORD is being counted among those who are called to bring forth Heaven to earth.  Our inheritance is located at the right hand of FATHER.  Our inheritance IS our treasury.  An inheritance is a treasury of assets reserved and distributed by specific appointment to the inheritors for their specific use.

Hebrews 1:3  1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 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 at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Until you seek your inheritance, you will not be able to operate according to the treasury set aside specifically for you.  My responsibility to you is to notify you that your inheritance awaits your presence.  YOU must set your mind and seek.  You have been shown the path to the Door that is to be opened.  It is up to you to respond.  Jesus revealed this in Matthew 7:

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”

The ministry of Moses was centered around the departure of the people from Egypt.  He was called to bring the Israelites out of bondage.  He succeeded on the physical plain but did not on the spiritual level.  Fear, uncertainty, and doubt prevailed among the soldiers who were to overcome those in the Promised Land.  The two exceptions were Joshua and Caleb.

Not much is written about Caleb.  He was of the tribe of Judah and would not be denied the inheritance promised him after spending forty years in the wilderness.  However, Caleb provides us with a perspective of his tenacity at the time of demanding his inheritance:

Joshua 14:7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart.8 Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God. 9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’ 10 And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old.

11 As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. 12 Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said.”

Forty is the number of trials and testing, forty-five is the number of inheritance.  Caleb displayed great faith in the Words Our Heavenly Father spoke and he “wholly followed the LORD my God” all the days of his life.

We find a very subtle verse about Joshua that has been overlooked by most:

Exodus 33:11   So the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.  NKJV

Joshua spent all of his time in the wilderness in the tabernacle in preparation for entering into the Promised Land.  His calling was not to depart from the “world” but to enter into the “fullness”.  Yes, he did experience Passover and Pentecost.  He was there when the Law was given and heard the Word from THE LORD concerning the Promised Land and even had a temporary encounter in the Promised Land as one of the twelve spies.  But for 38 1/2 years, he spent the entire time in the Tabernacle in preparation for his calling of “entering in”.  His calling focused on inheritance, not departure from the “world”(Egypt).  Joshua was to dwell in the Presence of FATHER while he was being instructed in how to properly enter into the Promised Land representing the Age of Tabernacles.  He was trained in the Age of Pentecost to “crossover” into Tabernacles.

Moses dealt with man’s carnal state coming out of Egypt.  Joshua focused on the Spiritual state required to enter into the Promised Land.  Neither ministry was in opposition to the other.  Each path or calling overlapped for a time.  Joshua was young when he began preparation.  Moses was already full matured when he entered the wilderness.  Both callings were needed in order to come in to the fullness of times.

Those who are of the “called out” ones will continue in patience, dwelling with the MOST HIGH until the time of entering in.  Do not by dismayed by the apparent extended time of preparation.  Joshua wasn’t and his first encounter upon entry was seeing in the Spiritual realm, an encounter with the Angel of THE LORD.

1 Corinthians 2:4  And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Where or whom do you place your faith?  Is your faith in the Federal government?  Is your faith in your pastor, teacher, apostle, prophet, or evangelist?  In the above passage, Paul reminds us of the source of wisdom from whence he spoke- Our Heavenly Father.  What was his proof?  The demonstration of the Spirit and Power.  Effectively he said “look at the fruit”.  Our Heavenly Father established the Law in the Book of Beginnings:

Genesis 1:11   Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so.

Our entire physical existence depends on this law.  The seed of plants and animals produce the necessary food to sustain our bodies throughout our lives on earth.  We rely on the continuation of this law two or three times everyday.  Some less and some more.

As I have said many times in the past we are called to be fruit inspectors.  Our Heavenly Father is an inspector and Jesus made it quite clear what the ramifications were in Matthew 7:

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?

17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Trees that don’t bear fruit waste the resources they are consuming.  They rob the trees around them from needed resources to produce in a greater fashion.  In the financial world, I have read many who claim to be experts in investing.  They market their newsletters hoping to increase their readership, and cash flow.  The newsletters are effectively prophesying the future of certain investments.  If you track those investments over a long period you will find they were probably correct 50% of the time, not much different than the flip of a coin.  A question most people don’t ask is “Why are they promoting a newsletter if they are such experts in investing?  They would not need the money if their investments were really that successful!”

The wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of this world does not produce good fruit.  Our current economy is a testimony to that reality.  The raw data shows the U.S. is still in the “Great Recession” after several years of 0% interest rates.  Europe is on the ropes and Japan continues its “lost decades”.

Who should you listen to?  Our Heavenly Father!  Paul warns us of false prophets who produce “noise” and move our focus away from our direct relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  Those false prophets sell you on the notion that they have a certain direct communication link with Our Heavenly Father yet the fruit they produce in the area of prophecy is sorely lacking.  How do they continue to operate?  By the short memory of those that follow them. 

People have ceased being fruit inspectors as they continue to focus on the latest, greatest impending prophetic word.  Our politicians know all too well this reality.  Over one trillion dollars was spent on the war in Iraq and the warplanes are once again dropping bombs.  Their solution to the problem did not work a decade ago yet they are back at it again.

We have all been taken of advantage of by false prophets.  Their ability to instill fear and anxiety, pricking the soul with scenes of impending disaster, have temporarily stalled the path toward greater maturity.  I am reminded of the time when my son was young and playing soccer for the first time.  His team played at a soccer field close to train tracks.  They were in the middle of their game (aka controlled chaos) and suddenly a train came barreling through.  Play ceased as all the kids on the field were mesmerized by the arrival of the train blowing its whistle.  The parents knew better than to attempt to redirect their attention back to the game at hand until the train had passed.  Sometimes you must simply let time pass before you can continue the proper focus.

Are you being fruitful?  If not, cease what you are doing and wait on FATHER.  Remove the noise that plagues you.  Redirect your attention to those endeavors that produce fruit.  The Sons are awaiting the fruition of the fullness of their calling. Until then there is no need to “work up” some event in an effort to coerce Our Heavenly Father to respond.  We will all know when the demonstration of SPIRIT and power is at hand.  The inspection of fruit will prove it has arrived.
