The first four seals were for the conquering of the carnal nature in us.  Four is the number of earth and its fullness.  Our earth is where the conquering takes place.  “Self” or the ego is now gone!

Revelation 6:9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

The fifth seal reveals those that have been “slain” by the first four seals.  They are now under the altar or dominion of Jesus Christ.  These have been slain in the “soul” and the altar is the place where the sacrifice of death occurs.  These were slain because of or as a result of the Word of GOD being a two-edged sword.  They were awakened by the sounds of the hoofs of the four horses entering the land.  They embraced the revelation of Love and boldly proclaimed the horses to “Come!”.  The Word of GOD is now fully transforming their testimony revealing the Sons as a Living Testimony of Christ.

What is their testimony?  They are known by their works as acceptable representatives of FATHER.  They are doers of HIS living Words given to them daily.  They have become HIS express image and their actions TESTIFY of HIM.  In Romans chapter 8, Paul wrote of this Truth:

13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Our slain souls will testify for all to see that we have changed and there will be no disputing of this truth.  We will be witnesses above reproach to Christ in us.  We too become TRUTH!  We will have mortified the deeds of our flesh and our carnal thinking has been “beheaded”.  Our mind, will, and emotions arising out of the carnal nature will be no more.  We will have the mind of Christ as the source of our expression to others according to His Eternal purpose for each one of us.  Our minds will have been processed through the three feasts discerning HIS Will:

Romans 12:2  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

The phrase “avenge our blood” must be considered from the view of Love, not man’s bloodthirsty carnal nature.  The Sons are in the restoration business, not the punishment business of retaliation.  To avenge is to validate one’s actions.  It refers to vindication or proving someone is not guilty.  By HIS power and authority are we vindicated or validated.  Our fruit will be inspected and shown to be good.  We should expect an outworking of the fullness of Him to be brought about for all men to see.  This validates us as HIS Sons to all the world.  Authority will be challenged until it is validated by HIM.  Power given to the Sons will be questioned until it has been expressed among the people.

Love will produce results in the Sons and every man and woman will be drawn unto FATHER as the power of HIS Love is unleashed through the Sons whose hearts are focused on the restoration of all mankind.

We are awaiting the completion of the maturity of the Sons for all to be revealed and glorified together.  This verse and others suggest that we all are “harvested” together, not one at a time.  May these writings support the maturing process of those who are not yet fully perfected!  How can we attain perfection without understanding the Revelation of Jesus Christ through the eyes of Love?  Let all the seals of the book be broken to expose the fullness of the Book of Love!

This will be a time of demonstration for all to see.  There has been a “dearth” in the land for the past 18 years and longer.  This has not been an idle time but one of preparation.  Many declarations have come forth and some have been associated with world events yet the full manifestation of the power of the Sons has yet to be seen.  There have been those who claim the event to have arrived yet the fruit has been lacking.  I believe there will be no question when that wondrous day arrives.  Each of the Sons will have that white robe of righteousness, a sign of full maturity.  There will be no impatience among them for they will be at total peace of their destiny continually responding to the Word of FATHER and operating as HIS expression on earth.  Signs, wonders, and miracles will be among the fruit for all to see.  The fruit will provide the testimony and vindicate the narrow path chosen by those who gave up all to become mature Sons.  All of creation awaits:

Romans 8:19  For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

GOD is Love, Jesus Christ is the manifestation of the FATHER in the flesh, thus Jesus Christ is Love manifested.  This must be the premise we view the final book of the Bible: The Revelation of “LOVE”.  This fourth horse has been preached to be the scariest horse in Scripture:

Revelation 6:7  When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.”

8  So I looked, and behold, a pale (GREEN) horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

This Scripture taken out of context is what horror movies are all about… fear of death.  The movie industry generates billions of dollars by scaring people with scenes where the people are killed and maimed by an out-of-control villain.  The carnal man lives in fear daily.  In reality, Jesus conquered death and has paid the price for us to have eternal life.  Paul expressed this to Timothy in the following passage:

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,

10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

Moreover, in the Book of Revelation, Jesus Himself says:

Revelation 1:18   “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”

Does this sound like Love is going to go around and wipe out close to two billion people in one fell swoop?  Of course not!  The pale horse description was translated thus because the interpreters were attempting to focus on death rather than Love.  The horse is described as “green” in the Greek.  The word “pale” was used here only since it was in the same sentence as death.  Green typically represents life, growing, or living.  It was first used in Mark 6:39:

“Then He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.”

This is the horse of Life who is called to come into our land to evoke death thus life comes by death of the carnal man.  The Sword of the Word brings the finality of death to the old man in us.  The carnal man would have us externalize any reference to death to protect itself from certain removal.  It is all about misdirection.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death

If I am made free from the law of sin and death, then this horse isn’t to be feared as countless sermons have suggested.  Those who evoke fear want to maintain control, whether it be a bully, a government, a preacher, or your carnal man.  The source is always the same, the “anti-Christ”;  anyone or thing that replaces “Christ” in you the hope of Glory.  Life swallows up death just as light swallows up darkness.  Darkness is the absence of light, light is not the absence of darkness.  Think about it!  When corruption puts on incorruption, the former is swallowed up and death is swallowed up in victory.  It is overcome by Love.  Paul writes of this revelation in 1 Corinthians after in chapter 13, he describes the 16 facets of the infinite facets of Love.  As a foundation of Love is established, he proceeds at the end of this letter to write about the victory over death and the last enemy to be destroyed is death.:

15:50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

​55 ​​“O Death, where is your sting?

​​O Hades, where is your victory?”

​56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

We MUST view this fourth green horse from Love’s perspective of putting on the incorruptible life and understand exactly what must die.  We must read this passage in relation to all the rest of the Scriptures speaking of life everlasting.  Consider Philippians 3:21 for it is Jesus Christ: “who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.”  What is there to be afraid of?  Embrace the mission of the green horse and yell out “Come!”

Each of the seven seals must be broken to release us fully from our current state to the fullness of our callings as Sons.  We must embrace the mysteries of each seal as they apply to us individually.  Death must occur in us and it is done by life swallowing it up.  Don’t run from the purging fiery sword, run to it.  The rider of this green horse is none other than Jesus Christ who took away death.  The death spoken of in this passage is taken away by Life in Jesus Christ.  This is the fourth and final horse concluding the process of the other three horses.  “A fourth of the earth” is the last portion to be dealt with… death in finality.  Jesus eliminated death by him dying on the cross.  This is contrary to man’s reasoning: kill or eliminate death by “death”.  The four horses were called to do four things to us internally:

1) Conquer the lawless inhabitants of your land by illumination and revelation;

2) Bring for the consuming fire to purge and purify, removing the “peace” of the old man;

3) Bring forth the black darkness associated with the old man having been compared to the light and revelation of Jesus Christ as we experientially pass through the three feasts of maturity;

4) Kill the evil desires in your members with the Sword of the Spirit, starve the desires of the flesh unto death, kill “death” with death, and finally use the beast nature of men to complete the trials and tests to assure victory over the old man.  The bestial nature of men will rise up as opposition to assure your full maturity and perfection have arrived by verification.

The first four seals begin the unveiling of Christ in us.  The old man must die in order that we might live and the Rider of each horse is OUR LORD.  All four horses must “gallop” through our land and accomplish their purpose in order that we be found acceptable to be NAMED as sons.

Revelation 6:5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”

The color black represents emptiness, darkness, and void.  There is no light or illumination coming forth.  There is lack or a “dearth” in the land ultimately leading to darkness and death and speaks of finality.  In a Spiritual sense you become aware of the fact that your carnal nature has absolutely no understanding of Truth and revelation and it must be removed.  Those who live in the fleshly nature have had their eyes darkened to the point they have no clue.  In essence, they are blind.

Light represents life and darkness represents death.  In looking back over the last 18 years, there has been a “dearth” in the land.  The major moves of the SPIRIT as evidenced by healing ministries such as T.L. Osborne, Oral Roberts, Kathryn Kuhlman, and others have past.  The faith movement has come and gone.  This has been a time to allow the past to die and move into darkness in preparation for new and greater illumination or light to come forth.  Death must come to the carnal nature and the black horse in its swiftness and strength has come to finish the work.  The fleshly man is doomed.

At midnight, the bridegroom arrives:

Matthew 25:6  “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’

In the midst of darkness (midnight), the bridegroom arrives and those with revelation (lamps lit with sufficient oil) will be joined with Him.  It is needful to make the transition of death and resurrection.  By faith, the old man of the flesh must die to allow the new resurrected man to come forth.  Saul of Tarsus experienced a type and shadow of this when he was transformed into a new man with a new name: Paul.  This was a “naming of a son”.

Acts 9:8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Saul was in complete darkness for three days in order to transition into his calling.  Removal of the old man must take place in order for the new man to operate without spot or wrinkle.  The black horse must fulfill its purpose in our land.  Darkness is fulfilled when full light can be expressed in contrast.  The moon is dark relative to the sun.  The sun eclipses the light of the moon.  How much greater is the light of HIS Glory than that of the sun for it causes the sun to appear black in comparison.  The black horse reveals the full and complete darkness of the carnal nature found in each of us.  At the point of full disclosure, we fully reject the carnal nature for the glory of Christ.  The wisdom of this world, the emptiness of religion, and the pleasures and pursuits of this world have no attraction and we quickly jettison this nature in order for HIS Holy Presence to fully dwell in us.  This horse reveals the totality of our carnal nature and the emptiness of all its pursuits!

Barley, wheat, oil, and wine refer to the three major feasts: Passover, 50 days later- Pentecost, and 5 months later- Tabernacles.  These are appointed times of FATHER and each had a harvest associated with it.  Barley represents Passover.  The early ripening of barley was offered and was accepted on behalf of the rest of the crop yet to ripen.  Jesus was the initial acceptable offering at Passover while the Remnant needed to mature to also qualify as firstfruits.  The scales in His hand were to count the costs of dying to the flesh.  What are you willing to sacrifice in order to gain Life?  Are you willing to go and sell all you have and give it to the poor in order to follow Jesus?  The rich young ruler rejected life in order to have and maintain the temporary pleasures in life.

Proverbs 23:23  Buy the truth, and do not sell it,
Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.

Interestingly enough, the number 23 represents “death” and contains the very truth about dying to the flesh in order to received Eternal Life.  Salvation is a free gift.  The gift of the Holy Spirit is received by faith.  However, the Sonship costs you everything and it is not given to the faint-hearted.  We must overcome, we must suffer affliction unto death, and we must walk in unconditional Love to be qualified to ride in His army.  Death will precede Life in Him and we must first descend unto darkness in order to ascend to Life.  This requires faith IN HIM.  This is why those riding with Him were described as “called, chosen, and faithful”.

In the world, people are always wanting something for nothing.  They are the takers.  On the other hand, the givers know value and are willing to pay the price for that value.  Do you think that the “takers” will be chosen for the greatest service to mankind?  Absolutely not!  Those who have a heart to give and pay for value received will be the ones who will ride in the army of THE LORD.  It is time to change your attitude of scarcity and expect provision in your pursuit of the deeper things of THE Spirit.  Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding carry a high price.  What are you willing to pay?

Wheat is known as the harvest of Pentecost and its value was greater than that of barley.  More is required for the fulfillment of this feast.  The final feast- Tabernacles, is known for oil and wine.  The grapes must be trodden down to release the harvest of the vine and olives must go through the press.  Clearly we see a greater commitment to produce fruit in this final feast.  Each feast brings us through a progression of life, power, and victory.  The second feast increases the power by way of the Holy Spirit, being filled with the Holy Ghost.  Pentecost was the “firstfruits” of the wheat harvest  or from spiritual standpoint “the firstfruits of the Spirit”.  Each of the first two feasts were referenced by the word “measure” in the above Scripture indicating a limitation.  However the firstfruits of the third feast is “without measure”, in other words: fullness, maturity, and perfection.

“Do not harm the oil and the wine” is an indication that the 3rd Feast isn’t in the same category as the first two.  The Feast of Tabernacles is the feast of the FULLNESS of time, without measure.  It is the final harvest where those who have been chosen must not be hindered in the final preparation.  This will be an earth-shaking event but is yet to be experienced as of this writing.  Here in Oklahoma the earthquakes have become numerous on a daily basis.  Many blame the oil & gas industry fracking and water injection wells but could it be a sign of something bigger at the “cross” roads of America?  Neither Passover or Pentecost was able to deliver creation.  The third feast is destined to fulfill the mandate of the Glory of THE LORD filling all the earth.  The black horse enables this to come to pass.  “Come Quickly!”

The revelation or unveiling of Jesus Christ continues to unfold with the second seal being broken:

Revelation 6:3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.”

4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

This horse of speed and strength is described as the color of fire.  This is the purging, purification phase where anything that is unfruitful in our lives will be burned up.  We will be cleansed of those impurities in the deep recesses of our being.  Nothing will be left to chance before we are commissioned in His army and operate at the fullness of our specific callings.  Failure will not be in our vocabulary and people will see and benefit from the fullness of Christ ministering before their very eyes.  There will be no more compromise or self-motivating actions passing themselves off as “called” of GOD.  The false prophecies shall cease being accepted in blind faith.  Isaiah 33 describes those who have been processed by the All Consuming Fire:

15 Those who are honest and fair,

who refuse to profit by fraud,

who stay far away from bribes,

who refuse to listen to those who plot murder,

who shut their eyes to all enticement to do wrong—

16 these are the ones who will dwell on high.

The rocks of the mountains will be their fortress.

Food will be supplied to them,

and they will have water in abundance.  NLT

The Flaming Fire must be done swiftly and with great strength, hence the red horse is depicted in the second aspect of the revealing.  What happens to us once we are fully prepared by Him?  We too have been given charge to ride in the same sense as He rides through “Our land” and Joel 2 verse 5 describes us in this setting:

With a noise like chariots
Over mountaintops they leap,
Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble,
Like a strong people set in battle array.

A refiner’s fire is focused on 100% purity of the metal being prepared for us.  Pure gold represents Divine Life and it is virtually translucent when totally pure.  There is nothing hidden from the eye.  We must become an open book as we are perfected in Christ.  Only those with a pure heart shall “see” GOD and will be found acceptable to minister in His army of saints.  Bring on the fire!  With a loud and mighty voice, proclaim “Come!”.  Self must die.

How long will this process take?  Only FATHER knows.  The Pachal Lamb cycle for preparing the sacrificial lamb for Passover lasted 532 days or 7 x 76 days.  76 is the number of cleansing and Spiritual maturity or perfection is represented throughout Scripture by the number 7.  This cycle was instituted to insure the lamb was without spot so that it would be acceptable to  GOD.  Psalms 12 speaks of this cleansing process:

6  The words of the LORD are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.

In the Book of Daniel there were the three young Hebrew men who would not compromise their callings and  refused to bow down to a graven image of Nebuchadnezzar by the world.  They were Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego.  Because of their full commitment to THE LORD, they were subjected to Babylon’s judgment.  In Daniel 3 the king is furious with these three and commands the furnace to be heated up seven times greater:

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

Little did the king know that he actually perfected these young men and what was the result?  A fourth man appeared in the fiery furnace:

24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?”

They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”

25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

Jesus will lead us through the full cleansing by fire in order that we may come out on the other side fully qualified to take up our ministry in His Body as one of the priests in the Order of Melchizedek.  This refining will function to fully separate the pure from the impure.  His great sword is the Word and it will do the separating or dividing in us.  “Self” will have no peace as this process will root out all aspects of its hold on us.  There will be no peace or safety proclaimed any longer by this “self” nature.  We will no longer be satisfied with spending time, energy, and resources to be entertained as an “anesthesia” to dull the pain of chronic problems, unrighteousness and lawlessness rising up in the flesh.  Jesus reveals the fact that He is the Rider of the red horse:

Matthew 10:34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.”

Trials, tests, and tribulation come but instead of praying for FATHER to remove them, we must instead pray that HE reveals the path through them and reveal the Wisdom from Above to properly navigate the path to success.  Our faith is perfected in these times of testing.  Those who are called, chosen, and faithful will experience this level of purification.  Don’t worry about those living the apparent “good life”.  Their peace in their earth will be turned upside down when the final battle is waged and won.  Their restoration and reconciliation will simply arrive later in the biggest of pictures.  In the meantime, the tares will grow with the wheat until harvest.

The battle is between our two natures.  One is being conquered into full submission.  Paul spoke of the  two wills or the two “I’s” in Romans.  The occupiers of Our Promised Land must be driven out and the fire of the red horse is fully qualified to cleanse the land.  This will surely not be a time of peace.  After the cleansing we are prepared to ascend onto our horse and receive our commissioning.  Joshua experienced this “commissioning” as he was proceeding to war:

Joshua 5:

4 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.”

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

15 Then the Commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

There is not enough room for the two types of occupants to live in your land.  One will live and the other must die.  Paul focuses on this reality in Romans 8:

13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

The red horse cometh.

Joel 2:1 Blow the trumpet in Zion,

​​And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!

​​Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;

​​For the day of the LORD is coming,

​​For it is at hand:

2 ​​A day of darkness and gloominess,

​​A day of clouds and thick darkness,

​​Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.

​​A people come, great and strong,

​​The like of whom has never been;

​​Nor will there ever be any such after them,

​​Even for many successive generations.

​3 ​​A fire devours before them,

​​And behind them a flame burns;

​​The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,

​​And behind them a desolate wilderness;

​​Surely nothing shall escape them.

4 ​​Their appearance is like the appearance of horses;

​​And like swift steeds, so they run.

The horse and their riders are symbolic of those who do battle and their horses are known as “war” horses.  Jesus is depicted as leading the army while riding a white horse.  The first four seals are represented as four horsemen.  A battle is conducted for taking possession of land and/or resource.  It is about overcoming and conquering whatever is currently occupying or possessing our land. 

The first seal was opened or loosed in Revelation 6:

First Seal: The Conqueror

1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a loud voice like thunder, “Come!”

2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

The four living creatures represent the ruling aspect of the Throne whereas the twenty-four elders represent the priesthood ministry.  The ruling ministration of the Spirit of power and authority broadcast in a Voice of Thunder in an emphatic manner- “Come!”

This is a lone horseman with a crown and it surely represents Jesus who later is found riding the same white horse leading an army of saints.  He appears first as the “Alpha” described in John 1:1 and in Revelation 19 as the Omega with the Sons of Love in full battle array following Him wherever HE goes:

Rev 14:4  These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

Recall previous writings where we are told many are called but few are chosen.  The ones chosen have been faithful to the revelation of the Sons of GOD and have set aside every hindrance that would take their focus away from fully maturing as a Son.  They are further described in Revelation 17:14-

“These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

The first seal refers to a revealing or revelation of the Book of Life.  The flesh must be overcome with purity, Divine Holiness, and  righteousness.  A cleansing must occur to remove spot and wrinkle.  It is all out war with the flesh, the carnal nature of man.  The illumination of Jesus Christ brings forth a white light, the fullness of the rainbow.  Our lights must shine forth and not be hindered by the flesh.  Both the bow and the sword represent the Word OF FATHER and assure swift victory.

The battleground is in us, not in some distant valley for all to observe via satellite.  ‘Christ in us’ will be victorious over all that would easily beset us.  He is the lone rider on the white horse Who will conquer the land in us and will claim the land and resources as inheritance to be used as His Body as He mounts the final battle to bring forth glory unto all the earth.  Every enemy within us who would promote “antichrist” and raise itself up in opposition will be overcome.  Every enemy within you must be conquered before you can be qualified to ride with Christ in His Army.  Just consider how Saul of Tarsus was conquered in order to become Paul!  Jesus conquered death and hell and sees no issue in conquering those inhabitants in your Promised Land.

John heard the command “Come!”.  It was not directed to him but a proclamation he heard for the Rider to come forth and conquer our land.  I also say “Come!”  The result- we will be strengthened with all might according to His riches in Glory.  We will be fruitful in every good work and we will walk in the fullness of joy and life more abundantly.

As we say in the Southwest… Let’s ride!

We appreciate those who faithfully provide financial support to this ministry each month.  I read your letters of encouragement as well.  You are the cheerful givers FATHER gives reference to.

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!
