Father and Son and Son and Father

Jesus came out of the living God – and God said I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a Son –

And even the heavens and the earth which are a work of his hands will perish but he shall endure and remain forever – always the same and his years will never end –

God’s Son and his sons and daughters who are in the likeness and sameness of Jesus are sons and daughters who will not perish but shall endure forever for when to us God is a Father - and when to him we are his son or his daughter in the manner of Jesus Christ - then we see all else wear out like a garment and be rolled up as a cloak - we see all of his people who have become unhinged from him and his eternal fellowship as our Father wear out – and see all of which they have placed their commitment and heart into roll up like an old coat and fade away like old clothing -

For the Son came out of the living Father – Sonship out of the living word – the living waters –

He came from life abundant and love abundant and was not only given life but held all eternal life – God gave him his kingdom of truths – his empire of dreams – his towering castles of thoughts and wisdom and prudence – gave him all of his love and all of his heart – all of his understanding – all of his knowledge - and all of his creation –

He gave him life and made him the life - he gave him truth and made him the truth – he gave him word and made him the word - he gave him resurrection and made him the resurrection - the Son is the beginning and the end –

For God’s word established the beginning with its presence and word will be here to the very last and then it will move into the everlasting - for such is the Father and his Son – and such is the Son to his Father - for the Son began all things and will end all things – for he is of word indestructible – for what is of the indestructible is that which is of the structure of God – that which is of the consummate fellowship with God –

And to the Son - God was indeed a Father and made him the express image of his being and the brightness of his glory - for he was the fullness of the Father having all of which the Father was, and loved and not only having them but being them – not only having his qualities but being them – being the full representation – as he gave full presentation and full personification and manifestation to him – to be the full person of his Father so perfectly so that whoever sees the Son sees the Father and whoever sees the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life and he will raise them on the last day -

And the bigger picture is those whose faith in him – whose belief in him takes them into the knowledge of him and then the knowledge is given its expansion with the understanding of him – and the understanding of him soars us into a life with him – a life with God – a life with our Father – a life as a son or daughter in the manner of Jesus Christ - and it becomes our will to stay alive on this earth through the resurrection power of Jesus Christ – to stay alive through his name and in his name to be a son or daughter to our Father - and to be a brother or sister to his only begotten Son who through his person cleansed our sins and then sat down in the place of honour at the right hand of the Majestic God of heaven until his enemies are humbled making them a footstool under his feet ~

We are raised up by the resurrection and the life for the last day - so that those who live and believe that Jesus is the resurrection and the life will never die and come into the last day with Jesus Christ –

For through his word of resurrection and truth we come to know the Father of Jesus Christ in the power of the truth of his resurrection and the truth of his life – giving us proper and right clarity to see the bigger picture and to have a heart so compounded and made solid with the glory of GOD that we are of the substance of the last days in our hearts and minds and souls and spirits - we are of the last days - we are of the strength and of the word which announces the last days for we are of the word of the Lord - and he has given us clear focus and God’s perception through the light of his Son as the eternal formation of word comes into the solid light for that is the word God lives in - for the Son who is Light brought us the truth of living in God and with God with his freedom and with his word – he brought us out of the darkness into himself and into the brightness of his Fathers glory – and into the very heart and understanding of the freedom of God -

For we are the light of the world as his eternal word and his eternal life sets us free to live for God – giving us the glory of understanding the heart of the Father and allowing us to move into him with the freedom of the Son - the freedom of one who was with him before the limitations of time - for that is the freedom we can have when the word of which we abide in, also is the word which God abides in – for it is for us to come into the word of which only God lives in – we live in his word given to us – but he lives in all word without limit and all word without limit is the structure of all the universes and all of which is unseen – and all of which is Jesus Christ - for when we see Jesus – we see the word - we see the Father - we see the Holy Spirit – we see the freedom of the Father and the freedom of Jesus and the freedom of the Holy Spirit as it truly is in the eyes of God – freedom given to us for our increased hearing - our increased knowing and understanding - he gave us his word to live by - to see by – to hear by - he gave us the light to travel by while it was in our presence - but now we need the words of God by which to reign by – to rule by – to step out and be our Father’s image by -

To now not see the light of his presence but to be the light which ushers in his presence – to usher in the word of millennial power and structure and formation as we become perfected as instruments ready to play out what it is that God still has on his mind and still has hidden in the folds of his robe - for some of his word was played out in the beginning and some is kept for last and some has reached into the eternity but will now be reigned back into the words of the present - and we move more into the freedom of being a part of the next age when we move into the freedom of the Son who is the King and supreme ruler of the next age – taking up the freedom of Jesus Christ – the freedom to follow God’s word to wherever it may go – the freedom to listen to God’s word no matter what it may say - the freedom only God can give us for only he knows his word and what he calls into the freedom of it –

And what God calls freedom – what God lives in – what he possesses – and what only he can give us and teach us and say to us in true holiness and separation only to him – that is what matters – for it does not matter what anyone else calls it -

He is our only concern - and what he loves is our closeness and our words to him which speak of his Fathership to us - and our sonship and daughtership to him - and it is only in our freedom of being a son and a daughter – the freedom which comes when we call him FATHER and mean it - when the words have the same meaning as they do when JESUS says them - words with actions of a son to his Father ; and with words with actions of a daughter to her Father – and not as a son or daughter to his church or to his people - for we are set aside wholly for him and our response is purely to his word of which holds the complete and entire relationship we have, or can have, or will have with him - for they are not words and expressions you will hear anywhere else except in the deepest of great depths of your heart where word is only for him and from him -

For what he loves is our use of his word and our devotion to his Son and his commands and our devotion to his Holy Spirit and his guidance - and for us to long to hear where his heart is calling him into so we can go before him and prepare a place for him – for gladly he treats us like sons and daughters but is it with the sameness that we are to treat him as our Father - for it is all held in Jesus Christ and we have to access it when our desire for the Father is of the sameness of desire as the Son ~

For He gave us the freedom to be like Jesus – to be a son to him – a daughter to him - and to live in his word which loves him and follows him wherever he goes - he gave us the freedom to follow and to make mistakes for his word is of such an edge that to practise what it does and where it goes is the only way we too will be sharpened and come into his holy refinement - for who else can sharpen and polish us but the finest edge of God’s word – for each time we move into it and practise its truths, we are sharpened and we shine and become more like it until we are so like it, that we know where it is going to go - and we know what it is going to do before it executes it - for we are free to move within the word and free to move before the Word – we are free to go first to walk before it if we truly know where it is going so as to be there before it - for even when Jesus told his disciples where to go next they still could did not walk before God’s word without becoming lost in direction –

But the freedom was there – and the freedom is here for us to light the way for the Lord’s return and to prepare a place for his return – by moving into his millennial word and work to make a blazing trail through the darkness which is coming and which has come – because the freedom Jesus gives us is without limit when we are fellowshipping with God as he does - for the Father made him the word and the truth and there is only one word - God’s word and only one truth God’s truth – and the freedom Jesus has with the Father and his word and with the Holy Spirit is the freedom we have if we believe and put our faith in what has already come directly out of the Father’s mouth – to have faith without having to see the way we want to see – the way we think we need to see - to believe that the Son is exactly who his Father has said he is – and that the Father is exactly who the Son has said he is – and that the Holy Spirit is exactly who Jesus did say he is ~

It is to have faith in God and in Jesus Christ and believe all of his unseen formation and information and what that can manifest out of us – for Jesus sets us free to move into his freedom - so what he is freeing us from is swallowed up by what we have been set free into – being set free into God can only swallow up that which we thought was freedom - but it is that we keep looking at what it is he has released us from, and we then stand frozen like a pillar of salt – unable to move into a freedom of which has been given by God so we can live in his eternal word – set free from death so we can live in the resurrection - to be free to know and understand God and his word – God and his Holy Spirit - God and his power – free to understand God and the Fathership he offers us - and we are being raised up and can only be raised up and given full resurrection so as to come to him within that freedom of word - where there is only the expression of word between us for all is word whether it is spoken or unspoken – it is to come within God’s freedom to resurrect fully and to be raised for Jesus and by Jesus right now within God’s powerful word of resurrection and life -

For God’s freedom is the freedom of Word UNCUT and word uncensored – the freedom to live a life without end – the freedom to live our life by God’s word and not men’s word – the freedom to go for the all of our God and to not settle for less – no less than knowing the greatness of our Lord in the fullness of his stature and the fullness of his personality and the fullness of his power and in the fullness of his eternal being – it is the freedom to say no to men and to say yes to God – the freedom to be one who goes before his word so as to prepare a place for it – the freedom of asking and then knowing what our Father wants and being free to give it to him - it is the freedom our Father looks for in us to see if we are truly our Father’s son and our Father’s daughter – it is the freedom to come into the fullness of the stature of Christ and the freedom to live in the full stature of Christ - for God’s word of truths and his commands free us to hear what he is saying – free to listen to his voice and to allow him to be a Father to us. !

And it is not his words which need to be altered or changed to give men the freedom they need - but men cut from it and change it to get the freedom they want which is really not freedom at all - and they take out God’s freedom and his ways of freely receiving and freely giving and they replace it with nothing – for there is nothing which can replace the freedom the Lord is giving us to move in to where Jesus alone stands and where the Holy Spirit alone ministers and moves in the full power of life - and to have the Word of God come into us as it does into Jesus – it is our living passport to the impossible God – for how else can we get to him if we do not come to him in the freedom of his word – for it is our living and active passport into the power of his impossible world – and is only comes into us when we live in the freedom of all things being made possible with God - we live in it – we walk before it – we wait for its arrival – and we celebrate it when it comes ~

For God was free to dispense of his word as he saw fit – in Jesus – and he still does for he is free to do with it whatever he wishes, whatever he wills, whatever he desires - And when he sets in us his word of freedom it is not for anyone else to interfere with it - for the freedom they pursue to take from those who live in the word of the God of freedom is the same freedom that they refuse to step into and are stopping other from stepping into also - for it takes us way into where men can no longer reach unless they are within the sameness of the word as well.

And men love to be in control – in control of God – in control of his word – in control of his people-

So how much more will they pursue to control and subdue the matured sons and daughters of God – how much more will they stone and persecute the millennial sons and daughters of God – how much more will they rise in effort to stop the sons of the Father and the daughters of the Father - when they crucified the only begotten Son when he came in his Fathers name – the one who is the only Word and who is the only Truth and who is the only eternal life and who is the only hope of Glory - how much more will they rise in anger to stop the ones whom God has raised to move swifter than the light to pave a way for the Son of Man to return – how much more will they try and come between Father and Son –and Father and daughter – but if we are sons and daughters in the sameness of Jesus no one can come between us and our Father and our Lord and our God - and that is the relationship God is counting on from us and which will make us endure until the end just as our Lord did -

For we are our Father’s sons and daughters when he sees himself in us – he loves to see his passion and his drive and his eagerness and his anticipation – he loves to see his jealously - and his love to step into the darkness and say let there be light – he loves to see the words come from us which he alone holds in his heart – He wants us to come alive in our hearts and in our spirits and in our souls and to live the return of our Lord - just as he loves to see us live the life of our Lord – We are our Father’s sons and daughters when he not only sees himself in us but hears himself out of us as well – and when it is not with reckless abandon and with self righteousness that we move into where we think we will receive praise and glory - but it is as we move within him and take on his attributes - as we move within his word and take on its truths - as we move into his glory and take on its form - as we move into his light and become all light – it is when we move into our Father and become of his nature – when we move into his Son and be of his Sonship – when we move into his Holy Spirit and be of his heart and have fellowship with his power – it is when effort is no more an effort – but perhaps only an effort for God not to get sick of us and our wanting to be everywhere in him and with him - and to know everything of him and his word and to want to be all things to him as he is all things to us – it is to have so much life in us – to be so much wanting to be able to live with our Father and in his full word so we can be just like him because we love him – and our response to him is instant – and we admire and respect all of who he is as he pours of the sameness of himself into us - for no man has the strength or power to stop us if the LORD has already given us his freedom – if he has already given us the ability to please our God – to please our Father with what we pursue to do for him – it is knowing what is pleasing him and what is only pleasing us - for he is of such a greatness that we can get lost in it if we do not always be in a steadfast holding onto our Lord so he can take our enthusiasm and our boundless love and longing and pining and energy to be with our Father and our God - and he teaches us and gives us the very self control we need to master such a relationship – for it is and holds so much that if we do not match what he is giving us with a Godly and holy self control – a self control so unique that as it controls, it enhances and adds to our zeal and our great love of him and our determination to be just like him in all of his ways and words and manner – it is to be like him to even a higher level for with his self control that is how we reign in and bring to its peak his power –

For his power comes as the very ways of our Father rise up in us as we yearn to be just like him in all holiness of heart and motive and love and it is from this - that the power flows as it did out of Jesus – and that is the power we want – the power between a Father and his Son – the power between a Father and his daughter – the power of his Fathership to us – and our responding relationship with him - the power that it takes to bring into perfection the relationship between Father and Son - and then the power which issues out of that perfection – for that is what fills our Father’s heart – the passion and desire to be of the fellowship with us which gives him the freedom to be the Father he is to us - and for us to have the freedom to be the sons and daughters who are produced out of such a powerful and perfectly holy and complete relationship - one which will never perish or wear out or get rolled up like an old coat – but one which will never grow old – nor its years end – but will be of the everlasting ~

And for our years to never end with our Father and Lord and God he gave us words which would set free in us what it takes to be just like him – he set free Jesus in us to give us hearts which are just for him – and they are hearts set free to go into more word – to take more of the release of him being a Father to us in the way he wants – to take more of the persecution that is aimed at our Lord and God for we are in him and we take all of which is his - so we can be all of which he is – as we stand with our God for his Fathership to us is that we do not leave his side unless he casts us away from him – and for us to remain in his words of strength and courage we are given resurrection as it was given unto our Lord - For it is God’s word which raises us so as we can go forward ahead of him –to go forward ahead of him because we have come to him and come to the Father through him and so go ahead to not merely to do our will – but it is that the will of the one who sent his word, is now also the will of those who received his word.

His word of solid glory – for Jesus is the only one who is solid – solid glory – solid word – solid light – solid truth – and once the glory he gave us becomes full and solid in us it changes all else giving us the same steadfastness and immovable formation as our foundation – as the rock on which we have built our house –

Giving a new dimension to our faith our knowledge our understanding our love our motives – giving the fruits of which we bear a maturity unknown before in this world for it is taken far into the maturity and completeness of fruits which can only be born in the eternity - but are now given full fruitage so as to be taken into the eternity in fully grown sons and daughters of the God most High.

For when the glory Jesus gave us has reached the form it is within Jesus – when it is solid and pressed down all else changes onto a different level even our believing – our faith is not just a step to knowing but changes into a huge platform on which can now take more weight – more knowledge more understanding more revelations of which the word brings us - for when we believe without seeing – when Jesus has so permeated our hearts with a pervading presence which we have taken in because it is to us, and holds for us the anticipation of now finding out all of everything of which our hearts has already accepted and made a part of us already –

For the word God sent, if it found hearts which were still open could bring to that heart and mind such a revelation of the Lord - for it is not in the seeing of Jesus that we obtain our faith in him - it is when God’s word is sent to our hearts and we have in an instant all of which cannot be told to us until time has taken its course - but his word bypasses time – it does not need time to reveal God for it was before time began –

God was before time began and the revelation of him is timeless - and when Jesus said to Thomas blessed are those who have not seen and have believed – it was that Thomas had said that unless he sees his hands and the marks of the nails and puts his fingers in them and puts his hand into his side – THAT HE WOULD NOT BELIEVE - but it was more blessed for them to hear his word and believe than for them to have proof as given by their eyes – eyes into not his word but into his wounds that is the proof Thomas wanted – he wanted physical proof of the resurrection for the word of God was not enough for him – and was not in him to reveal to him what only the Father can reveal - and what nothing which can be seen in this world can ever reveal – we are blessed when we believe God without seeing God – for he sent us himself in his word which will give us all of which we need to put our faith in him – our solid faith in that which is solid word and solid truth and solid glory and solid light - and out of our faith which is as solid as what is of the physical - we see God - for until we see the Lord within his dwelling place we are not going to see him anywhere else - for he is more real within our hearts because it is our hearts which manifest him for us -

The word manifested out of the heart of the Father and Jesus was given physical stature and when we manifest word in our hearts as the Father has taught us then the word will manifest - and if it manifests all at once and in its full power and in its full truth then we have the manifestation of the heart of God and will see what our hearts have already seen but in much more detail and with much more intimacy - the heart of faith and believing – the heart of knowledge – and the heart of understanding – we have a heart which can nurture the glory given us from God’s word for then the clarity and the vision and the steadfastness is increased - for we are not basing any of our relationship with God on only what is seen, but we are taking all of which is of him - which is unseen - and taking our foundation of Jesus Christ and letting it now expand and swell for it was our faith - it is our faith and our believing in what is not seen physically but certainly seen within us in the expanse of his eternal word in us –

For what we have within our hearts is the kingdom of God – what we already have within us is his kingdom of word – within us and known as the unseen but is really what is truly seen – for it is so more advanced for it is without limit in us who are of the same word - for we can take in more of his completeness within our hearts than we can with our physical eyes - for what we see with our eyes only goes to give enhancement to what is already planted in our hearts - and it is that our hearts always outrun our eyes as we can see more of the Lord and go more places and know more of him - for in our heart we move into the farthest of outreaches and no one can stop us except the Lord himself, for that is where he dwells in us – and our true fellowship with him cannot be seen by anyone else for the truth of it is beyond our human ways and nature – the truth of it beyond what is seen - it is beyond what we manifest in this realm – for our devotion to him - our true devotion – our true calling as he is calling us - is the place where he is in true and full manifestation – and the place of where he is really manifesting – his greatest manifestation is already within us where in spirit and in truth he is who he is - for their within our hearts is his word and his kingdom – the kingdom of who he is and where we see into the unseen of him – unseen in our realm but not unseen in God’s realm – for in the realm of our Lord it is solid and more intense and rich than anything of which our world can give portrayal to – and its only our faith which will take us into where he will spread out to us the solidness of knowledge and take us down the road of understanding - for there are no roads in this physical realm which would take us anywhere near where the Lord is taking us - for the Lord himself is the road to the everlasting – the road made for us by God being a Father to his Son and by the Son being truly a son to his Father - they laid the road of pure transparent gold for us that we too could walk it if we stepped into Jesus - for then we too can be truly a son and truly a daughter to our God who is waiting to become a Father to his son of the everlasting and a Father to his daughter of the everlasting .

For as Jesus is our solid foundation it still needs for us to let it be of its solidness in us - as with the faith which can move mountains we hang on to him with hearts which speak to the rock and do not strike it - with hearts which drink from the rock and do not ignore it - for no truth will have its footing within us if our faith is not solid and rich and dense - for Jesus is already to us solid and real and no matter what we do see - it would only confirm and add to what our hearts have already been changed by - what they have already been filled by – filled by the unfolding of Jesus – the unfolding of the Father and the unfolding of the Holy Spirit and all of what they know and understand and all of which is held in by their self control and their perfection -

For Jesus is the witness and the living revelation – the one who is alive forever and the person of the truth of our faith – and if our faith is not immovable and indestructible as the one in whom we have placed it - then nothing else which is of the solidness of God will have any foundation to be grounded on as he takes of the archives of ages past …and joins it with the age to come and gives release of truths which are so weighty and powerful that if not founded and set securely on Jesus Christ then they will crush us for we are not the foundation of them – Christ is - and when we place our faith in the truth – then all of the truths can come into us for what will hold them and exalt them and send the power of them out into the world is the one of whom they testify of – and speak of - the one of whom they reveal – the one of whom they exalt..

And if we would only take our minds off ourselves as a stand alone creation and see the truth of God in men and men in God - for just as the last day will present itself – the last hour the last minute and the last second – so we who were born into the realm of time but have now been resurrected into the realm of eternity will have to be of the next age presentation – as we present out to him the kingdom of which is within our hearts and display what we have done in it – with it – for it – and to it - has the work he has given us been finished before the finished work of God – Jesus Christ – returns to take up his reign on this earth.

And it is now how much more will the Lord – the Lord - the Lord put up with from his people….

For it is now that if the workers have put their tools and equipment to rest and have stopped the work of God and have gathered themselves into groups – and have filled their hearts with words which are not God’s word - and if they have grievances against God and speak blasphemy and make idol threats - and if they profess his name but will not come to he who is the name above all other names to have life in him – if they show that they are not for him and are so against him – that it will be that God will raise up the very stones of which they place their tools against – the very stones which are a witness to what men are saying in the hearing of God – the very stones will raise up and strike and crush the ones who blaspheme and spit at our Lord in their hearts and with their tongues - and God will give the stones life and they will do the very work of God – for God –

For even out of the stones of the earth can God raise up workers to finish what has been started – for that is how much the Lord has put up with from his people - but that is what he will put up with no longer for if God will give life to the stones of the earth to do his work how much has he already put up with from men who are made in his image ~

And it is that we who yearn to be a son and a daughter to him in the sameness and likeness of Christ Jesus have to take ownership of what we have been given and present it back to the Lord and for the Father to see himself and hear himself in it -

We will have to take ownership of our relationship with God and not to let it be tampered with by anyone else – to take ownership of our part we play in the Lord’s return and not to let anyone else steer us into another direction –

We have to take ownership of our eternal life and come to know the one true God and Jesus Christ whom he did send and to settle for not one grain less than what God has given his word of freedom to take us into –

We have to take ownership of our excessive humble submissiveness and our commitment to our Lord and become even more excessive – and even more submissive - and even more committed – and even more humbled before him –

We have to take ownership of our Sonship and Daughtership and to see it and live it to the edge of our humanness - and then to let it fly free into the eternal life we have in us, as it goes all the way into the expectations of the Father and then the more - as it takes even the Father into places of his Fathership which he has not been before -

It is to take and own our freedom in God and his word and to not give it in exchange for accolades and praise from men – for it came to us from our Father and not so men could praise him as they use it for their own purposes - but because only in freedom and with freedom of choice – freedom of heart and freedom of word can we be prepared to go before him and to prepare a place for him – as he did for us ~

For the will of God for his word – the will of God for his truth – the will of God for his Son - the will of God for JESUS Christ is the will of God for us -

For as God said to Jesus I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a Son –

And even the heavens and the earth which are a work of his hands will perish but he shall endure and remain forever – always the same and his years will never end –

And it is his words for us – that he will be to us a Father and we shall be to him sons and daughters – and that even though the heavens and the earth will perish that we will endure and remain forever his son and his daughter – always the same and our years will have no end ~ our fellowship with him as our Father and us as his son and daughter will never grow old and will never come to an end.

Let us all be to him the sons he wants - and the daughters he wants as he raises us up to be just like the Son who fulfilled his dream of eternal Sonship – who fulfilled his word of truth and who is the fulfilment of his eternity ~

It is our will Father that the freedom you have given us in Jesus Christ – the freedom of eternal life that we begin now – that we use it in full measure to bring to you all of which you have set us free to do – all of which you have set us free to say and to declare and to proclaim – and that we bring back unto you the hundredfold return on the freedom of which you have given us in the name of JESUS CHRIST - the Son of whose likeness and sameness will be seen in all of those you have given to your Holy Spirit to prepare for the day of his return – when he returns in your Glory and with your holy angels and finds faith on this earth – solid faith – enduring faith – faith to the measure of the one in whom we have placed it ~ solid faith in God and in Jesus Christ – the faith of which Jesus alone brought into its fullness as soon as we let him come into and manifest himself in our hearts - for that is where all of God takes of its manifestation even our faith ~ for we may think we know him – we may think we understand him we may even think we love him – but if we are of no faith – if we do not believe then we cannot know and we cannot understand and we cannot love him as a Son loves the Father and our fellowship with him will grow old and will come to an end and will be rolled up like an old coat.

But those who have the glory, as it becomes pressed down and made solid it will transform our faith into the same solidness so that it is in us that Jesus finds the faith he is looking for – the faith he wants to see in those of whom are now coming into the millennium with him where they will now see him and reign with him – for it is the faith of believing without having seen – believing in his resurrection without having seen it – that is what he is looking for in those of whom will stay and be with him in his full power for HIS 1000 year reign –

FOR JESUS SAID - BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN ME AND YET HAVE BELIEVED

AMEN

5th Fruit - Gentleness

2nd Fruit of the Holy Spirit

The gentleness of God, which is a fruit of the Spirit like everything else, is manifested in the life and person of Jesus Christ. So whatever you may understand about gentleness—or whatever you may understand about anything, the standard of its true meaning and manifestation is in Jesus and Jesus only—as much as any other human being may inspire with their lives—only Jesus is the true standard acceptable to God.

Concerning this gentleness, Isaiah wrote: “Here is My servant, whom I uphold, My chosen One whom I delight; I will put My Spirit on Him and He will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise His voice in the streets. A bruised reed He will not break, and a smouldering wick He will not sniff out. In faithfulness He will bring forth justice; He will not falter or be discouraged till He establishes justice on earth. In His law the islands will put their hope.” Isaiah 42:1-4 To which Jesus Himself testified in Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

What is the gentleness of God and to whom is it given? Not to the strong and mighty—but only to those who are like bruised reeds and smouldering wicks—only to those who are weary and burdened.—And likewise, when we learn about God’s gentleness; it is not what gentleness is that counts, but it is where gentleness manifests—and to who gentleness manifests that counts. The gentleness of God does not manifest to those who are able to rescue themselves or save themselves—that is, to those who are filled with their self-righteousness, but only to those who cannot help themselves. Compare that with the world where the gentleness – or rather genteelness manifests to those who are more powerful in a cowering manner and upon those who are less than themselves—arrogance and rudeness is displayed. The world exercises its gentleness to those they consider their equal and their arrogance and power to those less than them. The Lords’ gentleness is for all who are less than God and His power and might is manifested against those who consider themselves mighty. That is the justice of God—to the weak He shows Himself gentle and meek. To the strong, He shows Himself mighty and powerful; that the weak might receive His compassion and the strong might receive the truth—the truth about themselves from Gods’ point of view!

In I Kings 19:11-12 God manifested for Elijah; and here is the account – Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire came a gently whisper….Elijah was discouraged and running away, and had come to Mount Horeb. He was not the triumphant Elijah who had called down fire from heaven, and caused a cloud to appear to rain on the land; nor the one who outran the horse of Ahab. He was the Elijah who ran away from the threats of Jezebel. To such an Elijah, God appeared and spoke as a gentle whisper—the Holy Spirit, Father and Son.

So the first thing to recognize about receiving the fruit of gentleness from God is to check whether you are weary and burdened, like a bruised reed and smouldering wick—like an Elijah who has run away from the threats of an unbelieving, ungrateful world breathing threats of destruction upon you. Jezebel’s threat was: “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.” 1 Kings 19:2

In the same way, You can manifest to Jesus your gentleness when you see Him weary from a hard days’ walk and ministry—burdened with the demands of people—to anoint Him with the finest perfume and oil, to wash His feet and dry them with your hair like Magdalene,--to see Him bruised and battered, and carrying the cross—to see Him thirsty, and not offer Him wine vinegar soaked in gall—to see the holes in His hands and His side, and not put your finger through them, but to wrap them up.

If you cannot be gentle with Jesus, you will not receive Gods’ fruit of gentleness—that is why, for so many who come to Jesus or invite Jesus into their lives—like Thomas who came to Jesus to put his fingers into the holes of His hands or the Pharisee who invited Him into supper, but did not offer Him water to wash His feet or oil for His hair.—The reply that the Lord will give you is a matter of fact reply; but comes with it a hardness of power that will break the rocks and mountains of your heart. To Thomas in John 20:29, Jesus told him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” With that one statement, Jesus told Thomas that He would forever by less blessed than those who believe without having seen—that is—us! To the Pharisee who invited Him to dinner, in Luke 7:44-47, Jesus said: “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give Me any water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give Me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil on My head, but she has poured perfume on My feet. Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven--for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

He was telling Simon the Pharisee that ‘very little of your sins are forgiven.’ Now since the words of Jesus out endures the heavens and the earth, both these two – a disciple who was more interested in establishing the fact than to minister to Jesus; and a religious man, who was more interested in his own opinion of Jesus, for he thought to himself, If this man were a prophet, He would know who is touching Him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner. Luke 7:39. And Thomas’s comment: “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands and put my finger where the nails were and put my hands into His side, I will not believe it” ….John 20:25

Jesus did not give them His best—but by His word, kept them both at a level always less than they could have been—less forgiven and less blessed. Likewise now—those who show themselves strong and not weak to the Lord, will not receive the gentleness of God into their lives, for God’s gentleness is for those wearied and burdened, bruised and smouldering; at the point of giving up—and if God shows His gentleness to them—how much more He is gentle to those who can see the weariness of God, when He said in: Isaiah 1:14 “Your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts My soul hates. They have become a burden to Me. I am weary of bearing them.”

--The weariness God has towards meaningless, ritualistic religion—God is tired now, just as He was with the Israelites in their religion, and we have become a burden to Him. Our insistent demands upon God to answer our prayers, to bless our plans, to agree with our will—contrary to His word and will—is a burden to God and wearies Him—now, as it did then. Can you see it?

His ears are bruised by the loud incantations we offer Him as prayers, and the meaningless repetitive convocations that we repeat out of our ritualistic prayer books which give us sweet words to mouth but not sweet fragrance of love from the heart. His heart is bruised when He sees people trampling before Him to take of Him and His gifts; and walking all over His plans and works without due concern as to what value it holds for God. Remember, it may not seem much to you, but to God, a small olive flower may hold more sentimental value than the largest diamond—for the flower of the olive reminds Him of the Garden of Eden and the fresh start He gave Noah. But a diamond only reminds Him of the destruction of the flood. Now—have you ever seen anyone hold an olive flower in high regard or price?

It is to those who can see God’s burden and weariness and how bruised He is in His heart, and that He is a smouldering wick—a smouldering wick next to a pile of dynamite as God is tired of the lack of gentleness and consideration shown to Him—that He will give the fruit of His gentleness—that in the midst of mountain cracking winds, and rock shattering earthquakes and raging fire— you will hear His gentle voice that keeps you safe.

Then having eaten of His fruit—you will learn the gentleness of God to show it to those who are burdened and weary, bruised and smouldering. But to those who show themselves strong and powerful, wilful and determined—you will withhold gentleness—but also, like God, show yourself stronger, more powerful, wilful and determined – like a wind that the mountains would laugh at because they were sure a wind could never crack a mountain.—You will become the wind that cracks the mountains; and yet to those who are seeking God, the gentle whisper which lifts them up.

To those who claim to be righteous by their own righteousness and those disciples who are more interested in establishing the fact than to believe the better things of God, like Thomas—you will show them just how truly less blessed they are eternally as you become the measuring line and the plumb line in God’s hand to determine who will partake in staying to greet Jesus and who will be retired to await the 2nd resurrection in Heaven.

To those who eat the Fruit of Gentleness and bear the Fruit of Gentleness, God will come to them in all gentleness and spare them from the greatest trials…..He will not allow them to live in Eternity less blessed than they should be, but He will ensure they are fully blessed—completely forgiven and more blessed than those who have seen and believed. The gentleness that turns away wrath and breaks a bone….Proverbs 15:1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, and Proverbs 25:15 …and a gentle tongue can break a bone.

--The gentleness that you and I need to turn away the wrath of God from us and those we are to look after, and the gentleness to break the bones of our enemies and render them powerless. It is this gentleness of Jesus that caused even demons to beg Him to let them go into pigs….How much more will it cause humans to beg for mercy?

AMEN HOLY SPIRIT – THE FRUIT OF GENTLENESS!

4th Fruit - Self Control

1st Fruit of the Holy Spirit

….Is the fruit that is required for the mastery of perfection—for without self-control, perfection is ruined by haste or fear, and love is neither impatient nor does it have any fear and God is love.

God alone has perfect self-control which allows Him to put up with even the Devil himself talking back to God in Job 2:4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own life. But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face.”

It is also the fruit that is required for the maintenance of perfection, and is the fruit that when it manifests out of you, allows you to partake of the Fruits of Maturity—Praise, Truth and Righteousness. The manifestation of self-control from you makes you suitable for selection as a candidate of Maturity. However, the manifestation of God’s Fruit of Self-Righteousness allows you to begin to take part in God’s ministry and the way God ministers….with perfect self-control.

For self-control is the Fruit of Self-Discipline and that is the Spirit that God gave us—when Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 1:7 – but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of self-discipline who controls Himself—and where the Holy Spirit displays the most control is when He will not speak on “His own, but say that which He has heard.” John 17:13

Imagine being able to sit back and just listen to what everybody is saying without interjecting, especially when you know half of what they are saying is not right or true, or outright blasphemous against those you love the most—The Father and The Son, and to hold your tongue and your peace and listen for what the Lord and the Lord are saying—knowing full well that what you’d say would stop whatever that is wrong—and be quiet—being satisfied in only sitting back and giving conviction with regards to sin, righteousness and judgement.

It is in the arena of giving conviction with regards to righteousness that the Holy Spirit helps us with self-control. As surely as the fruit of God’s righteousness gives us the right to taste and approve the words of Jesus, and know that they are the truth, so conviction brings out for us self-control—the self-control of the Holy Spirit, which is His Fruit [the fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22].

The manifestation of this fruit of the Holy Spirit—that is, the Holy Spirit Himself now fills us to the overflow, and it is the Holy Spirit who has taken over our lives—is the Fruit of Self-Control over what we say. It is not what we do that has the creative effect in our lives—it is what we say. And at the level where God wants you to imitate Him and show the maturity of Jesus—being able to control what you say must come from the Holy Spirit—who makes Himself one with you, as Jesus is one with the Father; and through this oneness and sameness, the Holy Spirit begins to display His Fruit through you. It is not you displaying your fruits; it is the Holy Spirit displaying His Fruits. And the first fruit that the Holy Spirit Himself has is self-discipline giving self-control over His tongue.

James the Younger correctly recognised the problem of not being able to control the tongue—that is your speech in James 3:1-12….v8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, ...He recognized the power of the tongue….v6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire and is itself set on fire by hell. And indeed he should know—for it was his tongue that recommended Acts 15:19 “It is my judgement, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood…” It was his tongue that let slip Judaism back into the Church as something to be practised as an outward sign to the world of our holiness to the Lord; when the outward sign to be practised for the world to know that we are holy unto the Lord is to love one another as He has loved us. It is not even to love one another as you would like to be loved.—No!—Love one another as He has loved you—theoretically, die for one another as He died for us—and in reality of practice—find your intimacy with Him, so that you can truly say you have been loved by Him and therefore you can love one another as He has loved you.

James recognised the problem—but he did not have the answer. It is easy to see the problem—but to see the answer and to be the answer—that is a total different kettle of fish!

That is why the Holy Spirit—when He came upon the Disciples—took over the tongues of those disciples—just as he took away the speech of John the Baptist’s father, and did not let him utter another word of disbelief. Instead in Acts 2, 10 and 19 the Holy Spirit allowed men to speak in the new languages of the Spirit (tongues) to praise God and to prophecy—as He moved them. Extreme self-control over your tongue is what is called for—and with extreme self-control does come extreme accuracy.

The price of lack of self-control over your tongue can be costly—for because Jesus said.. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him." Mark 11:23-24. Now at the immature level when you are still believing—well, not everything you say will happen—but at the level where you have come to know him—then, exactly what you say/have said can begin to happen. E.g. I was praying over our BMW that every moving part be renewed—so it was—I had to renew brakes, gearbox and a radiator system----Wow! I should have prayed – ‘Let every moving part be preserved.’ Oh the price of my loose tongue!

Likewise—even what is happening with the Dept. of Health - I kept saying, “They are unhappy with me.” Well, I am experiencing the degree of their unhappiness. Wow! Why does God allow this? -- So that we learn to value the Fruits of the Spirit.

If the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin—how much more valuable are the Fruits of the Holy Spirit—for is it not the Holy Spirit who moved for creation to take place--for Jesus to be borne--and for the Church to begin? It is the Holy Spirit who allows us to be grafted into Jesus and live, like a wild olive branch being grafted into the olive tree.

I can tell you—I have learnt and I am learning. The fruit of the self control of the Holy Spirit is to allow us to reign in our tongues, so that as we move from believers to knowers, we don’t pay the price of our loose words. It is the Holy Spirit’s food for us to help us avoid as much judgement as possible, for Jesus has said: Matthew 12:36-37 “But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned.”

That judgement isn’t just Judgement Day as such for us—for we know that there is no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus and we have Eternal life now. –That Judgement Day is called “Today” for us—for we are not given tomorrow by Jesus to worry about, nor are our yesterdays available because of the blood of Jesus. More than ever—now, as we continue our walk up the Mountain of God—the self-control that we need over every word of our speech is more important than ever….And because we are not yet perfect with all our words, continuous repentance, not only of our thoughts, motives and actions—but of our words is called for; as it is written in Proverbs 18:20-21 From the fruit of his mouth, a man’s stomach is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

The power of God—the creative power of God is let loose by our tongue—whether it is to create prosperity or disaster, life or death—and when our tongues are trained to excessive submissiveness—then we can be relied on, to only release the perfect word of the Lord, which is perfection.

Thus the practise of perfect self-control over our tongue begins with the gift of tongues, praise and prophecy—from the Holy Spirit—and He lets us use it in the hope that we would come to Him and ask Him for His counsel how to control the deadliest weapon ever given to man to control this earth. Remember Genesis 2:19 and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

God called us to listen to Jesus.
Jesus called us to follow and practise—all of that is to lead us to the Holy Spirit—the silent One—the One who does not speak on His own.—Because a good way to learn to be silent is to learn to listen, and in silence—neither good or bad is created.—In silence there is rest because you are neither enjoying or suffering from the good or the bad, and so in silence you have rest and salvation—as God has said: Isaiah 30:15 “In repentance and rest is your salvation.”

And so, as we learn to listen and practise what we have heard, to discover the truths in what is said—the good things—what I call the lollies—which also caused the 72 to rejoice after they were first sent out—Luke 10:17 The seventy two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your Name.” But Jesus v20 replied, “However do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

And from that encouragement, we learn to ask the Holy Spirit for more counsel. And it is when the Holy Spirit sees your obedience to the Father’s command and your perseverance in following Jesus—even in His hard teachings, does the Holy Spirit begin to let you practise true excessive submissiveness—His type of submissiveness;—the submissiveness where you will not speak on your own but only what you have heard….That begins with an earnest desire to pray in tongues, and praise, and then to agree with the Holy Spirit—until all that comes out of you is “Amen, Holy ‘Spirit!”

When the words of Jesus and the Father are firmly entrenched in your heart and mind—written there by your eyes and your ears, the Holy Spirit is able to recall it to you at the right time—and with practice—in the right sequence. For the words spoken by the Father and Jesus can take care of every little detail in your life. Jesus demonstrated this or tried to demonstrate this to the disciples, at the feeding of the 5000 and 4000, when twice He just gave thanks—thanks for what the Father had already said: “They shall eat and have some left overs” 2 Kings 4:43, but as we learn—the disciples did not understand.

The yeast of the Pharisees, Sadducees and Herodians are teachings that make us rely on legalistic perfection by good works of rules, of disbelief and of scheming to acquire and take advantage—but the true seed is the Word of God and His words, and it is these words that bear the good harvest.

The failure of the Church to listen to Jesus and to listen to the Holy Spirit is the reason for the lack of power coming out of our mouths—power to heal, to deliver and to raise—but more importantly—power to speak the perfect word at the perfect time--self-control to achieve perfect results and accuracy. That is what the Holy Spirit is seeking to raise up and the training continues…..

AMEN HOLY SPIRIT! – THE FRUIT OF SELF-CONTROL!

Let the Wounds of Our God Be Eternally Healed


The pleasure of God is his word to which he gave his glory and his revelations –

And the eloquence and the stature of the Almighty One is that when we use his word from a heart filled with solid understanding and solid love and solid glory we become of his word and the glory of the revelation of it – for so unique is he and the word that he gives us that each of us in our appointed turn return unto and into the uniqueness of his word - as the word of uniqueness makes us like Jesus – so much so that there is truly, as it was for Jesus – a uniqueness about us which takes us out of the world and gives us our formidable uniqueness with our Father – with our Father’s Son and with his Holy Spirit - for within his word is a place for us – within his word is a place for us to abide – as it is within us that there is a place Jesus has now made for God’s word to abide in – a place he has prepared and where he has placed all which makes us just like him – just like him for him- and just like him to him - a unique place holy unto God and irreplaceable by men – a place where the uniqueness of God which when it moves into and through ones who abide in God’s word, and in whom God’s word abides - can take us where the Father gives deliverance to us of his word - the same words which made our Lord who he is – that made his word his Son and his Son his word - the same assuredness –the same confidence - the same complete trust – the same as which issued forth out of his Son – for Jesus brought us the unique word of God – a word which has in it the power of the eternities – the power to have eternal life now begin in us – it has the glory of all eternity – and the glory of the eternal healing for God and his Christ -

And the uniqueness that God shows us of himself is seen through all of which is made possible by and through his word of unique power – for there is no counterfeiting the power of God for he is in his power and his power is in him - and no one can counterfeit God Almighty – his voice – his person – his word – his glory – his Resurrection - his life or his eternity and no one can come to him with a counterfeit heart and claim they are of the heart of God and say all the glory be given to God - and for God to receive any glory from them or their words or their actions when they themselves do not have the glory of God in them to be able to give any glory back to him – for glory comes from belief in his testimony and when we read the gospels in our own strength and rely on our own understanding of Jesus we may see the wonder of his word but miss the signs which are leading us to the miracle of his testimony – that out of the believing in his testimony did came the glory and the revelation of his life – for only with God’s strength and his strength and power of word can the truth of him come into solid formation in us in the form of solid understanding and wisdom – for the words Jesus spoke are the gospel of the revelation of Jesus Christ and all else is focused around the word of God – all else focused around Jesus - his words and his actions which also speak to us what is of the unspoken for in his silence he was speaking out to us volumes of word which could not be contained in all of the books of the whole earth - for who can bring into the confines of pages what is of the eternal revelation of an eternal God – for his word never ceases to speak out the truth – for truth is what sets us free and the understanding of it is what releases us into a freedom which is in accordance to God’s understanding of freedom - and it is freedom to go within our God to wherever we wish to go and eat of whatever we wish to eat of – and to drink of whatever we wish to drink of it is the freedom of Jesus Christ – the freedom he died to give to us –

Jesus is God’s word set free – and he is the voice calling us into the glory – calling us into his millennium – and only a perfect listener of God can hear God’s perfect plan of glory and hear where he calls us to be - only a listener who abides in God’s perfect word can hear the thoughts of his heart and have them formed in our hearts before he speaks them – so we are prepared before he returns – so we are ready and waiting as he approaches - and so we hear of his words at the same time he arrives - for we are to be so ready and so prepared for his arrival that we are already moving into our millennial work in our hearts before he takes his throne to rule – we are all ready and fully prepared for the release of his iron sceptre and are rejoicing and eagerly waiting for the return of our Master – for the return of the Son of Man –

For we can forehear and foresee and foreknow but are yet to experience the event of the coming and ruling of our Lord and with our Lord - just as the Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit foreheard and foreknew and foresaw their perfect plan but had to still experience the actual events which brought it into its perfect fulfilment -

For unless our God – unless our Lord experiences it and gives it life we can never move into it and through it – we can never move out of the life we have if Jesus did not say yes to the heart of the Father – say yes and go in his heart even before a word was spoken or formed – for he heard the voice of the unspoken –and came to fufill what the heart of God had still yet to speak –

He came and fulfilled the law we lived under - and fulfilled the life of sinlessness we could never live – and walked in his own creation and lived in it as it should have been walked through and lived in by those God placed here to rule over it - And until he came and became the fulfilment, there could be no moving on for us into the next age - for only through the uniqueness of Jesus are we set free by God so as to move into life in and through Jesus Christ - for without him we perish in our sins but with him we have already begun to live our eternal life -

But Jesus still had to live through and experience what he came to do so as to take it into his person - into his spirit and into soul and into his heart and mind so as to bring perfect and eternal completion to his work and to bring eternal glory to the Father - for he knew the plans of God but did not know how it would feel until he lived it himself in a way he had never lived or experienced life before – He had to live it as it was given to men – he had to live it on earth - he had to live the word which was given to men to live - by living it as a man but without the trappings of sin - for there was no sin in him only word – only truth – and because he was the fullness of word and truth and was without sin he instantly fulfilled the law men were to live by - and fulfilled the life which men should have lived for God - and through Jesus Christ the Son of Man God released us from being under the law and from the trappings of sin and gave us a burden which was light and a yoke which was easy if we came unto Jesus and lived by the word he spoke to us -

For Jesus God’s word of life - was crucified before the creation of the world – but the actual suffering, the tasting of it in his soul and his spirit – in his heart and in his mind - and the feel of it on his flesh – he did not know of – nor had tasted of it - or felt it in his flesh or his spirit until he came to drink of it and submit to it and to suffer it – and with the strength of the word of truth he endured it –

Endured the cross and what it brought unto him for when all reached its peak in the physical as well as the spiritual – when all reached its peak on earth as well as in the heavens – then from the cross, where the earth and the heavens did meet and collide a loud cry went out from Jesus to his God - My God – My God why have you forsaken me ? –

Sin and the distance it brings Jesus felt to the widest width and the highest height and the deepest depth – he indeed suffered the full measure of the penalty of sin and the distance it takes us from God – he felt the helplessness that man feels and he called out with a loud voice his hearts cry which is the true hearts cry of all mankind – for we are indeed helpless when our sin distances us from God and our hearts need to cry out and fear he who is the only one who can destroy both the soul and body in hell – the only one in whom we can entrust our spirits – and the one to whom our soul already belongs – for our soul clings to God and finds rest only with him ~

But the taste of being forsaken and abandoned and deserted were not new to Jesus for he had experienced it from men - but coming from his Father and the Holy Spirit within him was a pain and suffering he had never experienced before.

For when men inflicted the pain of betrayal and desertion on him he could endure it because he understood what was in the heart of men - but when it came from the one whose heart he fully knew and understood it took his sufferings into a place where he had to tread for only then would come complete fulfilment of his perfection - the complete fulfilment of the sufferings of his soul - for no one else on this earth could make him experience what only his Father could make him experience – for only His Father whom he was one with could completely take him to the extremes of a broken and contrite heart and fill him with unimagined grief – only his Father could take the Son of Man to where he must go to so as to bring all men into their salvation – his suffering had to be so complete and so perfect with not one part of him untouched for what he was giving salvation to was so incomplete and so imperfect that his perfection and completeness was to be for all – done once for all - and he was taken to the very razors edge of his endurance – for the razors edge tore across his heart and his flesh for the word he was took the sin he became and took him to the very finest of the sharpest of edges of God’s wrath - for the Son of Man had to be perfected through suffering which was also perfect and complete – and by what he experienced he made it possible for many to be counted righteous for he bore all their sins –

And the perfection of one who in truth has no sin in him and who has deceived no one or has done no wrong thing - but has also been counted among those who were sinners – the perfection of such a one is made possible only by God – for only his Father knew what would perfect him – only his Father knew what it would take to bring out of his Son the suffering of his soul which would perfect him - and only his Father could perfect him and could send the suffering of the Christ he did send past any level which any man had experienced before – for no other man knew or understood or loved or had lived with God in his glory as the Son did - and the truth of that relationship with the Father gave rise to a depth of suffering which made him a perfect leader one fit to bring the many children of God into their salvation and into the glory of their inheritance.

For the greatest of plans brought the greatest of pain and the greatest of suffering to him–

For how great is the suffering of our God which did bring back to him the fulfilment of the unspoken words of his heart …for his own suffering which lives in his being shapes us and shapes and builds and gives glory to his eternity – and gives it such great glory and such great presence –

And the Father perfects us through Jesus Christ - and only our Lord and God knows how to bring into eternity sons and daughters who also have been perfected through his word - for sons and daughters who are to be in the likeness of Jesus Christ come through his suffering and take of its perfection and are drawn into it to give them growth and depth and maturity and a life in the truth~ for there was an urgency coming from God which was flowing from the cross of salvation – an urgent need for us to come to repentance – an urgency for us to come unto him – to come into him and understand the ways of God’s heart and the ways of his word and the ways of his sufferings – the urgency was in the blood – and in his voice which cried out loudly for all to hear – but the urgency of God to have all men come unto the truth was manifested in men by their own urgency to rid themselves of the truth - and it was that God covered up with his own blood that which he could no longer stand to look at - and that was the precious and pure blood of the new covenant – for it was for his own sake that he had to forgive the sins of men - and even though he foreknows and foresees and he goes before us to experience all things – we too will have to experience and live through what he foresees and foreknows and foreplans for us ~

But will our love change for him – will we place a distance between us because it seems to us that he has forsaken us and deserted us and left us helpless in our anguish and in the suffering of our soul –

The love Jesus had for his Father never changed as he tasted of his Father at the most cutting depths of his wrath and rejection and at the most cutting depths of his love for he drank the all of him until the depths of him was consumed by the deepest depths of his Father - he drank in the all of which his Father is – the all of which God is - whether it be his wrath or his love or his ways of bringing him into his perfection or in the way he fulfils his eternal plans – for even as the voice of our Lord cried out with the pain of his heart and the torment of his flesh and the suffering of his soul it was his unwavering and unchanging love and trust in his Father which held him firmly on that cross for the full appointed time-

For desertion and abandonment from God is the hardest of sufferings to endure - excruciating even when we are sinners only saved by the grace of God – but it is beyond excruciating and out of the bounds of being bearable when you have been with God from the beginning and are the full truth of the revelation of him and are to live the full truth of who you are – and to be the fulfilment of the word you are -

For Jesus had to fulfil who he was – just as we do – he knew it and understood it but had to experience it - and he went before us as God’s unfailing word and took it all to the extremes of all heights and widths and depths – for he has suffered the distance from God – the forsaking by God so we do not have to if we abide in him and if he abides in us – if our listening to him increases and not decreases – if we see his suffering as our own and learn from it and listen to it to hear what it is saying to us about the heart and ways and truths of God - for the all of Jesus has a lesson for us – so as to bring us into his likeness which we cannot be unless we include in it the understanding and embracing of all of which his suffering hold in it and all of which it is speaking out to us in a loud voice so as to be heard by one and all.

For Spirit and soul and heart and mind and flesh was in agony as the Fathers wrath was dispensed on Jesus – and what the flesh endured had to be added to what his eternal being was enduring – for the flesh which is not eternal cannot portray in detail and in all depth the truth of the eternal wounds – and does not reveal the triumph and the victory of the eternal masterful plan –

The scars the Lord has – the open wounds of his heart are only touched when we touch of his outer wounds but are truly seeking for those wounds to take us into the wounds of his heart – it is when we see the torment his flesh endured and then are racing as if to his tomb to retrieve him – but are racing in our hearts to see the heart of Jesus and to understand what God forsaking us did to his heart and does to our heart – for the flesh of the Christ was the flesh of his heart – and is where the deepest of his wounds are left still unhealed – untouched – uncared for – and worst of all unnoticed - for the revelation of how deep his wounds did go is seen in his eyes - the deepness of his eyes ; and each time we touch of his outer wounds – each time we pursue to touch of what he truly endured – each time we have it in our heart of hearts to go beyond the wounds and scars and to take what has been written and touch right through it and into the eternal being of our Lord it is to see into the heart of God and to see into the heart of the eternal sacrifice and finally give it some healing justice - so it can come into the fullness and completion of perfect and eternal healing – for the gospel of Christ includes all of the Christ and his word – all of his life all of his death and all his resurrection - all of his flesh his spirit his soul his mind his heart -

For we are seeking to search into what is of the eternal so its depth will be not given out lightly or searched out easily – for to understand where every tear is coming from is to search out the river of life and to swim in it forever – and the revelation to us of each tear and what it holds in all of its glory is founded on how much of the river of God do we want to swim and how long are we desiring and willing and able to be submersed in it –

For to touch on the surface of the written word is not reaching into his heart and stepping into the open wounds of his heart for each of his hearts wounds are given representation in his flesh but then we take what the flesh portrays and give it multiplication to see what is of the unseen - flesh gives us what God wants us to see, but it is what is of the unseen and unwritten and unspoken that he waits for us to search out - for what is of the eternal and what is of the heart which holds all things eternal – that is where we come to begin to give the wounds of our Lord healing - for until we understand the heart of God we do not know what to do or what to say – we do not know where to touch or how to touch – for we have no experience of his heart if we do not come into our own endurance and our own God given understanding of the world God lives in - the word he lives in – the heart of all things that he lives in – for he gives us his word - but the word he lives in – the word he endures – the word he alone fulfils –

For where God lives and what he lives in and is surrounded by is paramount to what our hearts are to also be seeking for our whole being to live in and be surrounded by - as he enlarges our tents and gives us of word which will bring to God all he has suffered for – word only he before has fulfilled - and to bring back to him the glory of his suffering through our solid understanding of its word to us – for his suffering did speak to us it is just we did not hear it as being meant for us – for as his sufferings transcend into our lives and change us and the way we live in our hearts – it changes us to the same degree that the Lord changed that day the direction of the whole earth - that is the changes the Lord seeks in us for us to be able to be the fulfilment of his word as he is the fulfilment of the word of the Father – and he seeks for us to come unto him and hear the voice of the unspoken through the voice of the spoken - for there we will find where he dwelt – find the place where his sufferings took him too - for that is how he prepared a place for us – and if we do not go through the entry of the cross where the heavens met with the earth we are missing a piece of him – a vital piece - a piece we need to go all the way - a piece we need to again meet with him where he of the heavens will come down to meet with us who are of the earth -

For it is not God who forsakes us but us who forsake God – it is men who desert and abandon and desecrate his temple and take up a life in which there is no holiness – no separation unto him only separation from him –

For it is not until we live by his truth and die to his truth and resurrect in his truth that we are fully of the resurrected and eternal word of which only our God can live in and fulfil - for the truths of God run to the deepest of depths and can only be fulfilled by one or ones who can go to the deepest of the depths of our God and still abide in his word and his word still abide in them - for only then through the sufferings of our soul through Jesus Christ can we come into being the fulfilment of the words only God lives in – and lives by and lives for -

For it is the way Jesus prepared for us to follow him – and that is to follow him into a darkness and into the unspoken and to still be able to trust what we abide in and what we have abiding in us – for the way he has prepared for us he has lined with his word – lined with the suffering - and encased with the glory he had with the Father before the world began – it is a way that he trod before us for even though he knew Gods way would bring many sons to glory he still had to go forward into what he had never experienced before and live the truth of who he was and walk into living the life of a man in the flesh – the life and walk of a sinless man and it was a walk which took him to the cross where he was counted among the sinners – for he took the walk of truth to its very limit for that is what truth is and that is what truth brings – it brings to us what seems to be the very limit but which is really only the very beginning of where it travels to -

For God brought Jesus to what seemed the very limit of his sufferings – in his flesh and in his soul - and then he took him into where he had never been before – into suffering which he had never known before – into what our Lord had never had to taste before – AND he could be the fulfilment of it and be of its endurance because he went in his heart before the word was spoken – not in haste but in complete understanding and trust in what the Father had in his heart of which has still unspoken - and from this truth came to us here on earth first before word eternal took of its travels into the eternity of word and the eternity of truth taking with it all of which is experienced and brought into the heart of the Father as it is swept up by Jesus and made manifest by the Holy Spirit –

For the Son of Man – the Son of God – Jesus Christ the beloved Son - walked into our lives and set us free – set free the son of man in us so we could be a son of God – he walked into our lives moving through all of which was brought into existence by word eternal and with the strength of a great mountain which does not move unless God tells it to move, he lifted himself up by the power he put into the arms of men – and on a cross of wood with a crown of thorns wrapped around his head and with the voice of freedom and with a look of victorious triumph which could only all be seen with the eyes of the eternal Spirit he let God have his way in him - and as God had his way in his word and with his word so did his word of truth have his way with men – so did his word pave the way for men for only through eyes which see the unseen can we see the full majesty of our God on this earth – the full victory and majesty of our Master on that cross - only with eyes which have a hunger to pierce into his sufferings and see our Christ and the look in his eyes and the love in his heart – for then we will see the unimagined splendour and the manifold glory which surrounded his private walk with God – with his Father – and if we look with eyes and a heart that desires to see the truth unfolded we will see that we can have that too - for his walk on this earth was also a private walk with his Father through his garden of Eden – a private journey as they walked and talked and saw what was ahead – and saw what was at their right and at their left as they communicated and discussed the earth and its condition - but also saw and enjoyed what fruits the tree of life produce and how the Father’s garden will again sing his glory and reveal his splendour – for all was not lost - for our God had come to bring salvation and Father and Son as one were walking through God’s earth and even though always seeing and aware of the sin and decay and depravity- always aware of the rejection and hatred they always saw what God had created through his word – through his Son and what they had planned and what they now were taking into its next level – no one or nothing can separate us from the love of God and what that love brought forward and what that love has planned – and the road Jesus came to walk in the physical was a road surely which would bring him every step of the way – bring him experiences which were to be a part of his Kingship and Lordship - experiences which the Lord came to endure and would be a part of our kingship and our lordship if we take up our walk with him in the sameness of the walk he took with the Father - for what the Lord has experienced will by us abiding in him and he abiding in us, make us of the same substance he is made of ..if we take of his word and take of his experiences and sufferings and make ourselves one with them in truth and in depth – and with solid understanding and with solid glory – to bring it to the same depth as his walk - the same depth of his understanding and his glory – for then we come into the sameness of the depth of his wounds and for each of us they will run at a different deepness dependant on our relationship we had with him and the one we now pursue with him –

For how deep was the walk of Jesus on this earth – how deep did his feet sink into God’s rich soil – for he is the tree of life and his walk was as deep as the roots of the tree of life of which he is - and how deep are the roots of the tree of life for that is how far we have to go to – to dig deeply into – for how deep and how wide and how high was his walk – was the road he travelled which took him all the way to the cross – all the way to the resurrection and then all the way back to the Father and then again all the way back to this earth - for it is a part of him and he is without limit – he is without width or depth or height of which can be contained or held in – and it is all a part of our salvation and a part of our resurrection and a part of our eternity - all of which is without limit and without end and all held in him and planted into the depths of the richness of the soil of Gods love out of which the tree of life gives forth its fruit – so how deep and how eternal was his walk on this temporary earth and the walk we took up after he showed us the way to come into our eternal relationship with the Father and the Holy Spirit and after he showed us how to walk with God on this earth as he did – the deepness of our walk with him has not even exposed the beginnings of the roots of the tree of all life – for many take what they have been shown through Jesus and see it as no use and disregard it – nothing revealed by him can be dispensed of or set aside as not needed if we are to be in his likeness and sameness – we need to know and understand what he brought to us - some of which was seen - and some of which he brought was unseen until we finally looked at him through his eyes - for we can only see in his eyes what is unspoken and unwritten and unheard - for his eyes reveal the depth and deepness of our what is planted deeply in God - if only we would follow where Jesus went and listen to what he tells us - we needed and still need the all of him to speak to us – out of his heart – out of his sufferings – out of his glory – out of his understanding - for the all of God is taking all and everything of which he came to save – all of everything with him who is the truth of God’s existence –

For as in a garden - he walked amongst us and gathered all of which his life produced - and all will be what it is meant to be - for he can do and does do all and everything that will exalt his name for his name is stamped on his creation …and his fragrance forever lingers on us for he walked among us as the Son of Man with the Father at his side and within him – he fulfilled life on this earth as a sinless man – he fulfilled God’s dream for his earth and in doing so moved continuously on as the perfection of his walk fulfilled how we were suppose to live on this earth just as he fulfilled the law of which we were meant to live under and obey – he came and completed what was undone by us and gave us what we did not have .. we did not have eternal life for we did not have eternal forgiveness or eternal salvation - for we had no offering to give to God which would give us anything of which was of the eternal so Jesus came to be that offering for there was and is an eternity also waiting to be fulfilled …

But also to be fulfilled is the healing of our God for the wounds of our Lord are not healed by our touching them – or crying for them - not by our knowing of their existence – for we are the cause of his wounds and we cannot cry them away or wish them away – we are his wounds which continually pain him and so we ourselves are to be of the substance of what heals our Lord – what heals the wholeness of his being for we caused the open wounds and if we die to what caused them - and be of the Resurrection who endured them - then we are the healing of them -

We can minister to him and give him a touch or a word – or we can see our part in his walk with the Father – our part in his walk with the Holy Spirit - we can see how deep the roots of the tree of life run to and see where we have yet to go and see where we fit in – where we come into his suffering – where we come into his word and where his word did come into us – for our sinning against God was upon our Lord and he paid for it with lashings to his flesh and with lashings to his heart and his own separation from his Father - and even though we are not of a sinlessness we can still pursue to touch on its presence in our loving of the Lord – in our knowing of him - our understanding of him - our seeking out of him – in our following of him - our listening to him – and our looking at him with such intensity that we see what is still left undone – we see it in the unseen and we hear it in the unheard and we know of it in the unwritten and we understand of it in the unspoken and we fulfil it the silence and dignity and the humility of our Lord – fulfil as he did – and unleash the glory of the fulfilment of the heart of our God - of the fulfilment of the word of God – the fulfilment of the healing of our God – then maybe we can stand with confidence in the presence of our Father and our brother and Lord and the Holy Spirit of all glory – for we will then see the wounds which have gone unhealed and untouched and unnoticed - and hear the voice and word of God in them and know we caused them –

For it is the truth that we are sinners but that does not stop us from seeing the effects of a sinless man and seeing the fruits he brings for us to eat of – the fruits which are also for the Father’s good pleasure - and it does not stop us from seeking out our own perfection with a heart which seeks the eternal truths of our God as we travel his road and go to the heights and the widths and the depths and meet him at where he works - at where he pains - at where he dwells – we can meet him in his empire of word and pour over him the outcome – the effects – the fruits - of his work – of his pain and of his glory – pour it over him with the anointing which has come from him and which he has given to us - for when it is poured out in the understanding of the truth – from an understanding of God and poured from a heart which has experienced separation unto God and also experienced separation from God and felt it to the farthest limits of our human capacity – then what we pour out is the understanding of the truth of our God and the understanding of the truths of his suffering and his glory – the truths of the pure word of which he alone lives in and what will flow over him is pure nard – perfumed silk which is like liquid gold – the fragrance of which can only come when we have walked into the deepness of God with Jesus Christ and covered ourself with him so all of which makes us his fragrance is now upon us in its everlasting form –

For a walk with the Lord into the eternities of our God gives flow to the purest of nard – for as we change and let the Lord take our walk into its completeness we are the purest of perfumes and the oil of his healing – especially blended by the Father for the healing of his Son’s wounds and then it flows in great abundance over the Father and the Holy Spirit - we become the essence of his healing for our heart is aflow with the abundance of the all of our Christ and it is poured out not of a vessel given form in this world - but out of hearts which have taken of their newness out of the sufferings of the Christ of God as we pour the newly created healing perfumed oil not out of a jar as Mary poured burial oil but out of resurrected hearts for it is resurrection healing for the Lord – resurrection nard – the most purest of perfumes with healing as its fragrance and which can only come into its full power and its full blend from hearts which have been made one with the heart of he who is the resurrection – who is our resurrection – hearts which have gone from the truths of the sufferings of the Christ on the cross and moved by his strength and his endurance into full resurrection glory and full resurrection status -

For Jesus the perfect Sacrifice and the perfect Resurrection is to be anointed and given pouring over by the perfumed oil of healing which has been poured out from our resurrection – the resurrection of us into the likeness and sameness of our Lord – as we heal him in our oneness and in our sameness as we are the healing to our Lord and we are healing for our Lord -

For to come anywhere near what his heart has yet to be healed of – we have to go to him as the healing he needs – and we have to go before he asks – for unless we approach the wounds of our God with the confidence of ones who have heard before calls – heard before he cried out just as the Father heard the Son even before he cried out to him - unless we come with eternal healing in our wings we will not have in us that which heals him – but only just what we think will heal him – for just as what we had in us inflicted his wounds – so now what we have to have in us is what his word has changed in us and made us into – what his resurrection has resurrected us into - the truth of God and his word - for it is now that the fulfilment of the healing of the wounds of our immortal God is going to be fulfilled and completed with the perfection of ones who have come into the perfection of Jesus Christ – the perfection which he attained by a suffering of which the eternities could not hold - for that sameness of our Christ brings us to where as Jesus is the fulfilment of all things – we who are in him to the submissive extreme – the excessive humble submissive extreme - we who abide in his word and whose word abides in us to the measure of which our God lives in it – we also will be ones of the substance of fulfilment – of the sameness of the fulfilment Jesus is and move in it and bring it unto God – we heal him when we are the fulfilment of healing to our God for when Jesus is healed all are healed – just as when salvation was given by grace through faith in Jesus Christ all were saved and were given deliverance and restoration and resurrection and eternal life through Jesus Christ - he is the fulfilment of our eternity as we are the fulfilment of his healing which he will take into his eternity - if only we take up and use and be who we are, and who Jesus came to make us - with confidence and with an insight into the heart of our God which will make him weep with joy and not weep with pain – we have to take up the fulfilment of our eternity and start by being the fulfilment of his eternal healing otherwise we are standing still on this earth – standing still even though our Lord was in continuous movement and always fulfilling the truth of the word of God - always fulfilling the truth of who he was and what he came to bring to us -

Jesus was and is our healing and we are his - just as we are to be in his likeness and in his sameness - Jesus our healer – our healing - for he is the personification of healing complete and perfect – and we are in his likeness and he is waiting for us to be who we are – and why is it that he has not healed himself – for it is us who heal him – for what can be more of a greater thing than to be the healing of our eternal immortal God – our Saviour – our King – our Lord – the one who is our everything – for it is not for him to heal himself –

For we are the healing he needs – we are Gods healing when we are in the likeness and sameness of the his beloved Son – the likeness and sameness of his word through which all things are made possible – for we are his healing in the way we speak to him and respond to him and in the ways in which we want his understanding of himself to come into us – we heal him by the way we look at him – when our eyes reflect his and take what is held in his eyes which are as deep and fathomless as his heart and return his understanding and love and hunger of what we now see back to him and draw him even closer into us –

For as his fragrance lingers - so is it for us to be of a desiring to linger with him always touching him in every sense – with every one of our senses which represents full and complete understanding of what it takes to bring him healing to his heart for as his heart heals his outer wounds of his body are brought healing

It is when we hold on to him firmly with full and complete understanding and with full and complete love - that is when we find the God of ALL truth and find where he lives and in what he lives and with whom he lives –

So why are we not of resurrection healing to our Lord – why is he still crying out in pain with what his people are doing to him – and not rejoicing in our resurrection into his likeness and sameness - why has not the walk of our Christ not made an impact on his people – why have we not allowed the cross of salvation reach into our hearts and tear it to shreds because we have hearts which cry aloud for more understanding of our Lord – not more power to heal others but more understanding to heal our Lord for healing begins with him it always has – it begins with God’s word and it has to be fulfilled when it is the word of truth as seen and known and understood by God – not as truth as seen and known and understood by us -

And out of the ultimate sacrifice – out of the ultimate love – out of the ultimate courage and strength and endurance we learn and we reach out for its unspoken and unwritten glory – for its glory is unleashed more in the understanding of it – of the sacrifice – of the one who was the sacrifice - of the suffering – of the one who suffered - understood and held by us – by sons – by daughters –by ones with the truth of what love is held in their hearts – love according to God and his Son and his Holy Spirit and as we hold it with the understanding of ones being made in the likeness of Jesus – in the likeness and sameness of one who was made perfect through his suffering we glorify the unwritten and the unspoken the unheard and the unseen by going past what is written – moving before the word is spoken – stepping forward before what is to be spoken is heard – and reaching out to be touching of what can only be seen with a heart which is solid and steadfast with understanding of the wounds of the heart of our Lord – a heart which is for the Lord – really for the Lord – a heart which in all truth is held separate and holy only unto the Lord - for only this heart – a heart in the likeness and sameness of the heart of our God can heal the heart of our Jesus – only this heart can be the Lord’s healing – for it is that every wound of our Lord’s heart has to be healed with the understanding and love of our God and with a passion which cannot be quenched or changed even if he turned his face away from us and withdrew us from his presence - for we know that there is nothing that can separate us from the love of our God if our heart is for him – holy and set apart for him alone ~ and nothing can separate us from him when we abide in him and his word - and he and his word abides in us ~

Nothing can separate us from who we are if we are of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and if we have gone to the heights with him – and have gone to the widths with him and have gone to the depths with him – gone to the height width and depth of the Lord God Almighty and have allowed the Holy Spirit to pour into us the word God alone lives in – the word God alone fulfils – the word God alone hears –

For Jesus in us is – Jesus the Lord of all; in us is what heals the heart of our Jesus Christ – and is that which flows over onto and into our Father and our Holy Spirit ~

Christ in us – fully seen and fully heard through the voice of his sufferings – Christ in us fully known and fully understood and fully exalted in his victory and his triumph –

Jesus Christ in ones who are now the fulfilment of word unspoken - of word unwritten - of word unheard – the fulfilment of word unseen – that is the eternal glory of God – for that is being the wisdom and the understanding of God for that is what brings the eternal healing to our God – the eternal healing to the eternal heart for that is what he will take into his eternity with him and what will give his glory an exclusive dimension – an exclusive lustre which can only come when God has a completely healed heart ~ for completion and perfection and fulfilment belongs to him ~

AMEN
