Personally, we feel deeply in our hearts that we as God's people have entered a new era of God's glory, which is the glory of the Father. It is the glory of the Father in Christ Jesus His Son that makes us walk on a new level of governmental authority and administration of the revelation of the throne room of God. This is closely linked to a new life in the supernatural realm, based on intimacy with the triune God (cf. Romans 6:4).

 

4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

 

The life within this supernatural governmental realm and the glory of the Father is connected with the sacrifice of selflessness and true love towards Him. This results in a new weighty harvest of glory, which is accompanied by variety (cf. John 12:27-29 i.c.w. John 12:24).

 

27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.

28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.

 

24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

 

Our high calling as lovers of the Father in Christ Jesus is to emerge, like Christ, sacrificially as grains of wheat, doing everything possible to demonstrate the government of the Father and to teach the ‘norm’ of His Kingdom on earth.

 

 

The glory of the Father as well as His glorification is accompanied by high prophetic revelation, which is perceived as a riddle or even a parable for those who are not willing to pay the price and are therefore not close to the heart of God, although the Father speaks clearly. According to our intensity of relationship with the Father, the respective revelation will be perceived (cf. Matthew 13:10-13 i.c.w. John 12:28-29; Daniel 10:7).

 

10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

 

28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.

 

7 I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision; those who were with me did not see it, but such terror overwhelmed them that they fled and hid themselves.

 

As God's people we find ourselves in the time of ‘distinction’, in which it becomes more evident who really serves the Father and who does not serve Him (cf. Malachi 3:18).

 

18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.

 

This distinction is made evident by the power of the revelatory truth of the Word of God and the teaching and leading of the Holy Spirit, so that the lives of believers who move in the sonship of Christ appear before the eyes of men like rod and staves, with the purpose of bringing about course correction.

 

Every believer who submits to and accepts this revelatory truth enters into a new realm of the comfort of God (cf. Psalm 23:4 i.c.w. John 16:7.13).

 

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

 

7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. …

13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

 

The above ‘distinction’ will be a clear boundary line that separates between a ‘soul Christian’ and a ‘spirit filled Christian’. In this regard I received the word from Ezekiel 10:6-8 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 15:45 and Galatians 3:27, which call us to be clothed with Christ Jesus in righteousness and to live as spirit filled Christians.

 

6 When the Lord commanded the man in linen, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.

7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out.

8 (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.)

 

45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being (note: soul; see Genesis 2:7)”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

 

… 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

 

The ‘Man’ in the Linen Garment and the Consuming Fire

The man in the linen garment mentioned in Ezekiel 10:6-8 is a call for us as believers in the sonship of Christ to go forward in righteousness and purity in order to receive with open hands the harvest of the Father's glory for this time and the time to come.
This is the consuming element of God's being, which is a consuming fire (cf. Deuteronomy 4:24 i.c.w. Hebrews 12:29)

Deuteronomy 4:24:
24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Hebrews 12:29:
… 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”

This fiery glory of God's inner being goes hand in hand with the movement of His glory, which carries a high degree of ‘electric charge’ that equals flashing lightning.

Furthermore, the fiery presence of God's being goes hand in hand with His glory and the movement of His governmental dominion such as we have never experienced on earth (cf. Ezekiel 10:6).

Ezekiel 10:6:
6 When the Lord commanded the man in linen, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.

As a result, the liveliness and resurrection power of the Son of God in the sanctified body of Christ on earth intensifies, leading to a bold readiness to receive from the hand of God, His fiery being, in order to further extend the kingdom of God in the element of consuming fire on earth (cf. John 11:25 i.c.w. Ezekiel 10:7-8).

John 11:25:
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; …

Ezekiel 10:7-8:
7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out.

8 (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.)

In order that this holy fire may be given, the Lord will lift up ready ministers of the fivefold ministry (cf. Ephesians 4:11) into a new and higher revelatory realm of His glory, so that they may be able to receive the consuming fire from the throne room presence of God as one hand, in order to transfer it into the body of Christ on earth.

This results in a transformation within the level of relationship of the bride of Christ, causing her to change from a two-dimensional structure (note: sister, darling, …) to the three-dimensional structure (note: dove), including the Spirit-filled life in agreement with the Holy Spirit. This becomes clear from the Bible passage from Song of Songs 5:1a.2.

 

1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; …

2 I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My beloved is knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.”

 

The Transformation of the Level of Relationship

This transformation of the level of relationship and the total surrender to the Holy Spirit results in an increase in the harvest of God's glory. The Holy Spirit leads us as the bride of Christ into a new dimension of spiritual harvest, which will be reflected in the natural realm.

Here it is important that we remain uncompromisingly in the field of our bridegroom Jesus Christ, ready to gather with a humble heart our harvest of glory as assigned by the Father, in order to receive shortly thereafter from ‘the high place’ of His glory. It is similar to Ruth who, on the instruction of her mother-in-law Naomi, went into the field of Boaz and enjoyed the harvest (cf. Ruth 2:17 i.c.w. Ruth 3:15).

Ruth 2:17:
17 So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah. (note: about 17 kg).

Ruth 3:15:
15 He also said, “Bring me the shawl you are wearing and hold it out.” When she did so, he poured into it six measures of barley (note: about 25-33 kg) and placed the bundle on her. Then he went back to town.

This weight of the harvest of Ruth is an indication of the weight of the glory of God, which is related to a prophetic inheritance and leads to much release.

=> The term ‘glory’ includes the perceived presence, co-operating power and the splendor of God manifested by His appearance. It is the presence of the Father of the Son or the Holy Spirit.
The glory was more than a shining appearance. It also contains a testimony of the favor and grace of the Lord. It is a sign of His glory as well as the acceptance of the sacrifices of the praise of His worshipping people.
The Hebrew word for glory is ‘kābôd’ or ‘kavod’. Literally, ‘kābôd’ is the ‘weighty, burdensome, respectable’.
The Greek word is ‘doxa’, from which we got the term ‘doxology’ (note: glorification of God).
Glory includes in terms of its appearance, honor, prestige, power and blessing. Regarding all definitions of glory, its goal is to make or establish someone important (note: ‘with weight’) in the spiritual realm.
The presence of God automatically brings an increase in every area, because earthly wealth and prosperity are located in the spiritual world.
The glory is an automatic depository of the anointing. <= (The text set in ‘=>’ is based on an explanation of the word ‘glory’ from the ‘Prophet`s Dictionary’ by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 237).

 

Amen and Amen.

As we are led by the Holy Spirit into a new spiritual realm of space and time in Christ Jesus, which is like a green field, accompanied by an increase in spiritual understanding of government, it is important for us to decide at the point where we face apparent loss to enter into our good future (cf. John 10:9 i.c.w. Revelation 4:2-3).

 

9 I (note: Jesus Christ) am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

 

2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald (not: green in its color) encircled the throne.

 

In order to be able to enter the good future, which involves going deeper into our promise, it is important that where we are confronted with bitter (note: challenging) circumstances, we are focused on the grace or favor of God in order to move in it. This grace goes hand in hand with the prophetic anointing, which contains an enlightened view of the things of the future.

 

Such a process is similar to the context of Jesus Christ when He was hanging on the cross and was only accompanied by various ‘Mary personalities’ (note: The name ‘Mary’ means ‘bitterness’) as well as by His disciple John (note: means ‘YAHWEH has favored.’) (cf. John 19:25-27).

 

25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

 

 

This situation reveals that our great shepherd Jesus Christ never leaves an empty place or prophetic/spiritual emptiness, but is committed to filling this place with the right person or revelation.

 

The term ‘prophetic void’ can be an indication of improperly functioning or insufficient prophetic coverage as protective relationship, and where there is a lack of official competent prophetic guidance due to the lack of the prophetic word.

 

In addition, a so-called spiritual void can also arise when areas have been cleansed of demonic powers and these have not been filled with spiritual revelation or the presence of the Holy Spirit (cf. Matthew 12:43-45).

 

43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.

44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.

45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”

 

It is essential to make sure that the prophetic word is provided and present, as revealed in 2 Peter 1:19.

 

19 We also have the prophetic message (note: prophetic word) as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark (note: dirty) place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

 

 

If, with reference to the situation of Jesus Christ on the cross, we consider the various ‘Mary personalities’ to represent the church in its different phases of time (note: past, present, future) and John as the necessary potential of prophetic leadership in the sonship of God, it shows that we as the church should be prepared to change our focus according to the will of God.

 

This is about moving in accordance to the commission of Jesus from the cross into the realm of prophetic revelation and under the prophetic anointing that comes with favor and the guidance of God.

 

The prophetic anointing or the mantle of competent prophets can be described as an eagle’s wing, which means the protection of God and His guidance into the true freedom of the sons of God (cf. Exodus 19:4; Deuteronomy 32:11; Psalm 91:4 i.c.w. Romans 8:21).

 

4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.

 

… 11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft.

 

4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

 

… 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children (note: sons) of God.

 

The pair of wings of the great eagle, as mentioned in Revelation 12:14, may be an indication of the cooperative anointing of prophets within the Messianic bride/church, carrying the Messianic church into a higher spiritual realm independent of the serpent’s whereabouts (see Revelation 12:14-16).

Revelation 12:14-16:
14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach.

15 Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent.

16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

It is the prophetic revelatory power of God, related to the responsibility to the church, to lead her into the revelation of the Lord for this time and the time to come, so that she would be enabled to reign with revelatory power in Christ Jesus on earth (cf. Colossians 3:1-3).

Colossians 3:1-3:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

‘Coming under the wings of the great eagle’ might imply entering under prophetic mentorship.

Jesus spoke of this importance by looking at the capital of Israel in His time as a man living on earth and calling for coming under His caring mentorship/guidance. In this context He specifically referred to the importance of the prophets (see Matthew 23:37).

Matthew 23:37:
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.

Prophetic Mentorship

Prophetic mentorship means taking responsibility in the area of revelation to properly administer it in the body of Christ and to guide and train others in it.

This includes the Spirit-led training of those who sincerely desire to go deeper into the realm of revelation with a sincere heart.

It is important that a believer who desires to go deeper into the realm of revelation should look for a competent prophet/prophetess in order to enter and get trained in the prophetic presence. This implies long conversations, listening to and answering questions, as well as other needs for coaching, supervision and training. Structure and guidelines in mentoring can be helpful in this regard as well as selected teaching materials as good books dealing with prophetic/revelatory issues.

Protocol: Get under the Wing of the Mentor

Coming under the protective wings of prophets can be challenging in the beginning and because of the uncertainty of what is involved, the regarding person can even feel insecure. Once a believer has decided to come under the revelatory mantle of a prophet, he or she will find that this is accompanied by challenge and humility.

As to ensure effective prophetic leadership, it is advisable to make the policy of the respective prophetic ministry known and transparent to the ‘student/disciple’ before committing to it.

=> To get the best out of a prophetic mentorship, the following things should be considered

These questions should be dealt with in need for mentoring:

According to that it is necessary to consider to what extent you want to devote yourself to training and mentorship in the prophetic context in order to be able to move in the increase of supernatural revelation and strategy in the end times by the Spirit of God.

It is no longer a matter of looking at oneself like a spectator in a tribune, but of going down and being trained to actively take one’s place in the Kingdom of God.

 

Amen and Amen.
