When the seals of a book are broken, the contents are revealed. The contents are not blank pages but instead contain the work already manifested by the intent of the Author but not yet fully revealed.
The revelation of Jesus Christ is an unveiling, a removal of the mystery to see the Truth that is contained therein. Paul wrote of this mystery from the Treasury of Heaven:
Colossians 1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Christ is in us! This is a critical message you must embrace if you expect to operate in the fullness of HIS calling on your life. How much of HIM is in us? The full portion, the fullness, the complete package. I have many oak trees on my property. Now is the time when these oak trees drop their acorns. I have literally thousands of acorns from a few oak trees. In each acorn is the fullness of power to become a mighty oak just like the one where the acorn originated from. The hope is that our minds be fully renewed to embrace the mystery of this reality. The power is hidden and protected by seals until the day your final seal of the seven is broken. Seven is the number of spiritual maturity or perfection. Each seal must be broken and not one can remain. Quit looking for some external Divine impartation as being the key to walking in the fullness of Christ. HE is already in you and the hope is that your eyes will be opened so the seals can be broken.
A circumcised heart is not the making of a new heart but revealing the heart after the “foreskin” has been removed. The first thing the men of Israel had to do before they entered the battles in the Promised Land was to have their foreskins removed with a sharp knife (emphasis on sharp ):
Joshua 5: 2 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.”
3 So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.
5 For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD—to whom the LORD swore that He would not show them the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, “a land flowing with milk and honey.”
7 Then Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
8 So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed.
9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.
Gilgal means “rolling”. This is the location where Abraham stopped when he first entered the land of Canaan. This place represents a full commitment to moving forth in HIS will. The men of Israel “cut” a blood covenant at the time of circumcision. Abram received the Word from FATHER at the same location among the oak trees:
Genesis 12:5 Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.
6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth (Oak) tree of Moreh (teacher). And the Canaanites were then in the land.
7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
Our flesh must be removed in order for us to reveal Christ in us. Our spirit is as a walled city like Jericho and the walls must come down. Our spirit is like an acorn with the tough, outer protective shell that contains the full and complete genetic material required to produce a huge oak at full maturity. Abram understood this as he was being “taught” among the oaks at Gilgal. His promise was spoken in terms of “seed”. He met Melchizedek there:
Genesis 14:18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said:
“Blessed be Abram of God Most High,
Possessor of heaven and earth;
20 And blessed be God Most High,
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”
Abraham’s circumcision, covenant, and name change were given at the same location at the place of the circumcision fulfilled by Joshua. Isaac, the son of Promise, was born 13 years after the Promise was given at the oaks of Gilgal (Gen 18:1).
The seals must be broken; the walls must come down; the flesh must be removed so the HIS Glory may be revealed from within us for that is where the Temple of the Holy Spirit is located. The Glory is in the Temple but it must be unveiled, the veil must be “rent”. Let him who has eyes to see understand this precious Truth from the Treasury! Paul stated this Truth and mystery In Ephesians 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.
Paul also stated:
Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
Think about it!
