We read in the word of God, that the LORD at a specific time will roll up heaven and earth like a robe, and He will create a new heaven and a new earth (see Hebrews 1:10-12 i.c.w. Isaiah 65:17).

 

10 He also says (see Psalm 102:26-28), “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. 12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.”

 

17 See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

 

Though the above mentioned scriptures describe the end of the times, I would like to explain in detail what the LORD revealed to me in this context: He showed me, that He is preparing a new realm from His presence for us, His people, now on the earth and we need to take possession of it.

 

 

God acts from the realm of eternity and one can describe the structure of His time cycle as a circle without beginning or end. This indicates that God works according to His eternal plan, which has a beginning, even though it is connected to an end in the temporal zone (see Isaiah 65:17 i.c.w. 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1)

 

17 See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

 

13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

 

1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

 

 

In connection with the eternal plan of renewal I would like to use the example of the reading cycle in the word of God.

As the original structure of the word of God consisted of a scroll (which in the Hebrew is read from right to left) we can see that the scroll gets increasingly opened towards the left during the process of reading; therefore, the left hand side decreases while the right hand side increases.

As faith arises by hearing the message from the word of God, it becomes obvious that the believer reading the word of God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit increases in faith (see Romans 10:17 i.c.w. 2 Corinthians 3:6).

 

17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

 

6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

 

This means we create a realm not visible for the natural eye, if we read the word of God daily throughout the year; I would entitle this realm as faith.

Consequently, we finish one realm of faith or firmness of faith and enter into a higher measure of faith every year.

This does not mean that the firmness of faith from the old year does no longer exist, rather the new firmness of faith builds on the already established faith of the previous year as 2 Corinthians 3:18 describes this process in regard to the glory.

 

18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

 

 

The LORD is currently in the process of creating a new realm on earth and in heaven, which is connected with the kingdom structure of heaven for this time.

To help you understand the kingdom of the LORD better, I would like to quote the definition for the Kingdom of God at this point.

 

 

B) It is the presence of God dwelling in a person as His holy habitation. This presence yields the personification/structure of the godhead in the vessel, all the benefits, provision and power characteristic from Creator God and His eternal kingdom. The personification/structure frees the hand of God to move and exerts His authority wherever there is a believer present. (Exert from the „Prophet`s Dictionary„ by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 298)

 

 

C) It is that which imposes the authority of Jesus Christ as sovereign over the kingdom of God and His heavens on the world. (Exert from the „Prophet`s Dictionary„ by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 298)

 

The new realm of the kingdom created by God seems at first not visible, because it is connected with the apostolic anointing of the LORD. Its result only becomes visible through humans, who move in it and its order, so that the anointing can influence the environment through their lives.

 

 

One can compare the process of God creating this new realm with the life of Elijah at the time, where Elisha followed him to receive the double anointing from Elijah.

Here the cloak of Elijah (note: represents the anointing; in this case the prophetic anointing) and the crossing of the Jordan river take an important part.

As Elijah and Elisha were on the way to the place of rapture, they first had to cross the Jordan river. They achieved this by Elijah folding his cloak and striking the water with it, so that it divided and they managed to cross over on dry ground (see 2 Kings 2:8).

 

8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

 

After Elijah had been received into heaven by God by way of the whirlwind and the separation of the chariot of fire and the horses of fire, Elisha received Elijah's cloak from a higher realm.

At this point the cloak was no longer folded but unfolded; this was a sign, that Elisha stayed in a sphere of anointing that contained double the amount of the anointing, which Elijah previously moved in.

After the rapture of Elijah Elisha crossed over the Jordan alone by using Elijah's unfolded cloak on his return journey. At the same time the cloak became his new garment, as Elisha had torn his old garment (see 2 Kings 2:9-14).

 

9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?” “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.

10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.”

11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.

12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two.

13 Elisha then picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.

14 He took the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and struck the water with it. “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.

 

After he had crossed the Jordan alone, Elisha moved in a new sphere of anointing, which God had created and determined for this time on the earth.

God closed a time of heaven on earth by means of a new time of heaven on earth. This was recognized by the company of prophets on the other side of the Jordan, because they saw how the cooperating double anointing of the LORD rested on his life, even though they could not quite believe, that Elijah's time had been ended by God supernaturally (see 2 Kings 2:15-18).

 

15 The company of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him.

16 “Look,” they said, “we your servants have fifty able men. Let them go and look for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has picked him up and set him down on some mountain or in some valley.” “No,” Elisha replied, “do not send them.”

17 But they persisted until he was too embarrassed to refuse. So he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find him.

18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”

 

For us this means, when God creates a new spiritual sphere on earth we as people of God should not stick to the old way and the things connected to it, but should move in the structure and anointing created by God (see Mark 2:22).

 

22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.

 

 

A new spiritual sphere was also created in the time of Noah, which Noah and his family entered into after the Flood.

This happened as God determined the ark to settle on the mountain range called Ararat (note: means “mirror” => assessment of faith) by letting waters recede (see Genesis 8:4).

 

… 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

 

A mountain range consists of multiple heights; at this point I therefore personally regard the newly created supernatural realm of the LORD on earth as the sphere of the so-called seven heights of the Kingdom of God (see Genesis 8:5).

 

5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

 

 

There are seven heights of the Kingdom of God in the earth, which we are called to influence as people of God with His presence through our lives, after we have been in the presence of the LORD.

All of these areas are areas of responsibility, in which each one of us ministers in the particular field of the kingdom appointed to us by God in order to advance the Kingdom of God on the earth through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

These heights or areas of responsibilities are:

 

1. Family

2. Church

3. Work/ Business/ Economy

4. Government

5. Education

6. Arts

7. Media.

 

God is spirit (see John 4:24) and also a God of covenant, and His Holy Spirit has a sevenfold characteristic (see Isaiah 11:2), just as the rainbow as the covenant sign consists of seven colors (note: red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, purple; see Genesis 9:8-17). Therefore, these colors can be related to the seven heights mentioned above.

Reason being, that Noah's ark settled on the mountains of Ararat after the flood, where God revealed His covenant to him by sign of the rainbow (see Genesis 9:12-14).

 

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,...

 

This means in relation to the word from Hebrews 1:10-12 regarding a new heaven and earth, which I mentioned in the beginning of this message, that God invites us to walk as His Sons in His eternal plan under the eternal order of Melchizedek which includes the apostolic anointing for this time on the earth, so that we can reveal the new sphere of the LORD and His influence, which He wants to exert through us in the respective fields of responsibility.

 

Amen and Amen.

=> Many times in our wilderness experience, God will begin to show us our promise. We will have an opportunity to mix the word of promise with faith or to choose to enter into fear over the resistant forces that we will have to face in our quest for God to manifest the promise. One of the greatest dangers of our wilderness season is that we may choose not to mount up with a mind to war over our promised inheritance. In the Israelites’ wilderness wanderings, a whole generation was led astray by the leaders, who discouraged the people from entering into war over God’s promise for their lives.

 

When we find ourselves in the wilderness, we always have that same choice. We can trust in God’s faithfulness and be filled with anticipation or we can give in to fear and be filled with anxiety. We have to remember what God has done in the past and choose to believe He will provide again or we can focus on our problem and grumble in unbelief. We can lift up our hands in praise and commit our lives to Him or we can throw up our hands in despair and try to find our own path. We always have a choice, and the choice we make determines our future. <= (note: excerpt from the prayer letter of Chuck D. Pierce, Glory Of Zion International Ministries from the 26.10.2017)

 

 

Sometimes these wilderness seasons carry experiences connected with the loss of a loved one.

We can also find such cases in the Word of God because it is important to our Heavenly Father how we should deal with such circumstances.

 

One situation is the occasion with the death of the two sons of Aaron who entered unprepared into the presence of God and died (see Leviticus 10:1-2).

 

1 Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, contrary to his command.

2 So fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord.

 

Someone once said about this event that they with their hearts so strongly desired to be in the very presence of God which led them to forget the protocol established by God so that they died.

This event shook the heart of their father Aaron who was at this time operating in the office of the High priest.

 

Despite this event, Moses encouraged and instructed Aaron not to leave the place of the presence of God. Because he was anointed (called) by God to fulfill his calling an being available for God and the people of Israel (see Leviticus 10:7).

 

7 Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting or you will die, because the Lord’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did as Moses said.

 

If we face similar painful circumstances in our lives, it is important that we run into the Lord with all of the inner pain in order not to get stuck by the grievous situation!

It is the desire of God, our Father to bring us into a new season and deeper into our promised land!

 

 

Abraham, our forefather of faith understood this principle while his father Terah/Tharah got stuck in trauma.

 

Abraham's leaving Ur (note: means “moon city” => city of darkness) in Chaldea (note: means “manly, warlike” => own strength)

 

While our forefather of faith, Abraham left with some of his family members and with his father Terah/Tharah (note: The name means “laggard” => a person who does not make clear decisions; see James 1:6-8 or in the same pronunciation it also means “to scratch his skin self-destructing/not to forgive oneself, because of the feeling of complicity in the loss or death of one person”, see Leviticus 19:28) during a transitional phase the city of Ur in Chaldea , Abraham got confronted with the trauma of his father (Genesis 11:27-32 i.c.w. Genesis 12:1.4).

 

27 This is the account of Terah’s family line. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.

28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth.

29 Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milkah; she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milkah and Iskah.

30 Now Sarai was childless because she was not able to conceive.

31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there.

32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Harran.

 

1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. …

4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran.

 

The settlement of the father of Abraham, Terah/Tharah in Harran shows that his soul was traumatized by the death of his son Haran, which caused an emotional feeling of pain in him, that blocked him in form of suffering to leave his present circumstance and to go into the land of promise “Canaan” (note: means ”lowland, nether lands”; the root word of “Canaan” is “Cana” and means “to bend the knees” => a sign of humility and surrender to God).

 

 

Death has a sting that causes pain in our hearts and souls.

Therefore, it is necessary that we deal with the pain of loss correctly so that it doesn't prevent us from entering into our good future or abundance which the Heavenly Father has prepared for us in our lives (see 1 Corinthians 15:55-56 i.c.w. Luke 9:62; Philippians 3:13-14).

 

55 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

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

 

62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

 

13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

 

Even though Paul speaks of the sting in the form of sin, it cannot be denied that the feeling of pain can also be like a piercing sting in our hearts.

 

 

Based on the place of death of Terah, we can recognize the piercing pain that didn't let him get over the loss of his son Haran (note: “Haran” means “mountainous, path or road”) in his life.

The name of the region “Harran” or “Charan” means “a barren place or dried up by the sun” (note: => represents weary by painful experiences).

 

 

This doesn't mean, however, that we aren't allowed by God to mourn as human beings.

On the contrary, God gives us enough time to mourn over the loss of people we have loved. This becomes clear, for example when Aaron died on Mount Hor and the people of Israel mourned over him for thirty days (see Numbers 20:29 i.c.w. Numbers 33:38-39).

 

… 29 and when the whole community learned that Aaron had died, all the Israelites mourned for him thirty days.

 

38 At the Lord’s command Aaron the priest went up Mount Hor, where he died on the first day of the fifth month of the fortieth year after the Israelites came out of Egypt.

39 Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.

 

Despite all the loss that we face in our lives at different times, we should make our hearts aware that we must conquer the phase of mourning in order to be able to go forward with joy in life and enter the next time period of the harvest which is a phase of delight (see Psalm 126:5-6).

 

5 Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.

6 Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.

 

 

When Isaac lost his mother Sarah, he also had a deep sorrow in his heart, but it didn't controlled him in the manner that he closed himself off from his good future. He rather opened his arms to an even deeper love which God gave him, Rebekah, who helped him to get over the pain of the past, so that he didn't get stuck in suffering (see Genesis 24:67).

 

67 Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

 

 

I would like to encourage each and every one of you who is going through such challenging phases not to allow yourself to be controlled by the “bitter water” of past pain/trauma in the coming future, but to deal with pain properly by handing it over to Jesus Christ (see Isaiah 53:4) and seeking fellowship with those who have a similar character or vision as yourself so that you continue to move ahead encouraged and strengthened.

 

4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

 

Let us fully embrace the middle cross of Golgotha and receive all the power of victory from the Lamb of God, who is Jesus Christ, who got slain for us.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,
