The Right Perspective

In times like this, we as the church – ‘ekklēsia’ should be in tune with God’s vision and not allow ourselves to lose that perspective in times of distress and challenge.
 
However, if we get caught up in the circumstances of the present moment and don’t focus on the established plan of the future revealed by God, we get to the moment where we miss out on the dynamic of faith released by God for this time, which is usually designed to assist us in seeing the situation from a heavenly perspective.
 
God’s Arbitration and the Pleasant Land
 
We are in a time that is tantamount to the ‘arbitration of God’. This arbitration goes hand in hand with His right and the related revelatory truth that carries His heartbeat. Moreover, His arbitration is like the lot that has fallen on pleasant land (cf. Psalm 16:5-6).
 
Psalm 16:5-6:
5 Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
 
This pleasant land includes the knowledge of being aware that the LORD alone is our inheritance at this time. And this inheritance is an inheritance of the spiritual dimension, since God is Spirit (cf. John 4:24a).
 
John 4:24a:
24a God is spirit, …
 
In order to walk in the realm of the pleasant land, it is necessary that we be in right alignment with saints who have set their focus in the first place on the Kingdom of God, rather than on the value of interpersonal fellowship or humanistic preferences.
 
However, if we prioritize the fellowship within the church over the Kingdom, the result is that the fellowship structure is prioritized instead of the presence of the Lord, which results in not being spirited by His presence in the first place, but rather program related to meet the needs of people.
 
In all this, it is a matter of carrying out the will of the Father, as Jesus did by doing the works of the Father and speaking the words of the Father to the people. He didn’t come in His own name, but in the Father’s name (cf. John 5:19.43a; John 14:24b).
 
John 5:19.43a:
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. …
43a I have come in my Father’s name, …
 
John 14:24b:
… 24b These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
 
This means that it is not about the name or recognition of ministries or people, but only about the presence of the Father.
 
The Crossroads and the Great Rain
 
We are at a crossroads as God’s people, where it is necessary to move forward with the revelatory light of the ‘arbitration of God’ for this time in order to be enveloped in this way by the essence of the Father, as Jesus said when He spoke of the unity He has in the Father (cf. John 17:21).
 
John 17:21:
… 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
 
This crossroad is accompanied by the hand of God and the presence of His powerful and revelatory teaching, which proceeds from His Word alone. It is similar to what the prophet Elijah experienced when he heard the powerful sound of the great rain on the mountain (cf. 1 Kings 18:41.44a.45-46 i.c.w. Deuteronomy 32:2).
 
1 Kings 18:41.44a.45-46:
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.” …
44a The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.” …
45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel.
46 The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
 
Deuteronomy 32:2:
2 Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.
 
This ‘rain’ is accompanied by the Spirit of the fear of the LORD and brings the prophets who have made themselves one with the truth of God’s Word into quickening to become ‘the moment’ of God’s revelation in the future to those who have set out by the Spirit of the Father (note: Holy Spirit) in order to enter into expansion (cf. Ezra 10:9).
 
Ezra 10:9:
9 Within the three days, all the men of Judah and Benjamin had gathered in Jerusalem. And on the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people were sitting in the square before the house of God, greatly distressed by the occasion and because of the rain.
 
The Spirit of the fear of the LORD is linked to the face of God in the facet of the Lion, who opens the way of wisdom with apostolic quality, so that the kingship of God on earth increases in substance (cf. Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 9:10).
 
Psalm 111:10:
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
 
Proverbs 9:10:
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
 
The kingship of God is related, among other things, to His inheritance, which carries within it His mysteries, His revelatory power, His sovereign action, and His eternal government.
 
The face of God in the form of the lion moves with the full potential of His spirit, which illuminates the ‘north’ with its light from the ‘south’. This illumination carries in itself the ‘distance of light’, which as a cone of light points to the revelatory guidance of God.
 
Here, the Lord puts His emphasis on the proper apostolic alignment of believers in the sonship of Christ, who have truly given themselves to Him in the intimate relationship with a humble heart. The purpose of this is that together in the right apostolic alignment of saints in the identity given by the Heavenly Father, we carry the presence of His face and at the same time go forward in His revelation given by Him for this time and the time to come, that results in blessings for the environment in which we find ourselves (cf. Exodus 26:35 i.c.w. Exodus 25:37; Leviticus 24:5-7).
 
Exodus 26:35:
35 Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.
 
Exodus 25:37:
37 “Then make its seven lamps and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it.
 
Leviticus 24:5-7:
5 “Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf.
6 Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold before the Lord.
7 By each stack put some pure incense as a memorial portion to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord.
 
For this reason, as disciples led by the Holy Spirit, we can see that new connections (note: alignments) in the Body of Christ must come in the right focus and it is connected with personal and community changes.

Accordingly, in order to be blessings, we may become so by repenting and returning to the fear of the LORD where we have valued other things and humanistic values more highly than the presence of God Himself. If we do this, the LORD will intervene and provide for us in everything (cf. Matthew 6:33).

Matthew 6:33:
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
 
Amen and Amen.
