Note:
The following message is the first part of a teaching that consists of two parts and we recommend to read the message chronologically.

 

God’s concern is to position those saints who are ready to establish the revelatory truth of His Word for this time and the time to come among His people in the places He has assigned and to establish them in the order of His Word, much as Isaiah 22:23 reveals.

 

Isaiah 22:23:
23 I will drive him (Note: Eliakim – ‘God raises’) like a peg (Note: nail) into a firm place; he will become a seat of honor for the house of his father.

 

 

This nail represents chosen saints who move forward in the realm of leadership in the faithful stewardship and fatherhood of God as well as in the revelatory truth of the Word of God. On this basis, they serve those who abide in the structure of the bride of Christ and His governmental presence (Note: capital city Jerusalem; cf. Revelation 21:2.9-10) as devoted worshipers (Note: house of Judah – ‘worship, praise’).

 

This results in a spiritual legitimate authority in Christ Jesus to receive an intensification in the God-assigned anointing, which is accompanied by authority of access and is equivalent to a so-called ‘master key’ of a building.

 

This authorization of access derives from the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the knowledge that you are loved by God as well as you are meant to be in a pure relationship in truth with Him. From this follows that we get authorized to open the doors of the realms in the Spirit to which we are sent on God’s behalf (cf. Isaiah 22:20-22).

 

Isaiah 22:20-22:
20 “In that day I will summon my servant, Eliakim (Note: Eliakim – ‘God raises’) son of Hilkiah (Note: Hilkijah – ‘portion of YHVH’).
21 I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the people of Judah.
22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

 

By the uncompromised walk of believers in the revelatory truth of God’s Word as well as in obedience to His instruction, they belong to God’s ownership arsenal (cf. Exodus 19:5).

 

Exodus 19:5:
5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, …

 

We can assume that this nail was hammered into a fortified wall and is destined to carry a God-assigned multitude of believers in His assigned responsibility in the standard of the truth of His Word in this era and the era to come.

 

 

It is the mission of saints sojourning in the dimension of ‘Eliakim’ to initiate the God-ordained awakening in His people, which is equivalent to the raising of the twelve-year-old daughter of
Jairus (Note: means ‘He enlightens’), the ruler of the synagogue by Jesus Christ.

 

This is due to the raising of the daughter, when Jesus gave the command ‘Talita kum! - Little girl, get up!’ which was used towards her, in which the Hebrew word ‘qûm’ is a word component at the end of the name of ‘Eliakim’. This raising up was about God’s plan to let the truth of God’s word shine in a stronger intensity of revelation.

 

The task of the ruler of the synagogue is, among other things, to assist in preaching the Word of God (Note: Torah) to the respective community of saints. Furthermore, they are responsible for the observance of the spiritual order (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:33a) and the distribution of the respective tasks in the congregation, as well as for the maintenance of the congregational building (Note: synagogue).

 

Based on this in connection with the raising of Jairus’ daughter, we can see that it was in God’s plan to bring the truth of His Word, the knowledge of His established spiritual order, and the understanding of righteous administration in relation to the fellowship of saints into a greater dimension of the power of His revelatory light with the goal of shining out from this realm (cf. Psalm 36:9 i.c.w. James 1:17).

 

Psalm 36:9:
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

 

James 1:17:
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

 

The intensification of the revelatory light is revealed by the command and intervention of Jesus, who expelled from the place all those present in the house who were in disrespect because of unbelief. Jesus allowed only Jairus, Jairus’ wife and His three disciples Peter, James, and John to enter the house, while Jairus’ daughter lay dead (Note: spiritually asleep) in bed (cf. Mark 5:35-40).

 

Mark 5:35-40:
35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.
38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.
39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”
40 But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.

 

Accordingly, including Jesus, there were seven people in Jairus’ house, which is a reference to the ‘dimension of the Menorah’, namely, the seven-fold Spirit of God (cf. Isaiah 11:2).

 

Isaiah 11:2:
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord – …

 

From the alignment with Jesus and the persons in the house of Jairus, it is evident that the Menorah was to shine in a new way in the full capacity and purity in the fiery essence of God to the people to taste and see the face of God (cf. Hebrews 12:29 i.c.w. Psalm 34:8).

 

Hebrews 12:29:
29 for our “God is a consuming fire cf. Deuteronomy 4:24).”

 

Psalm 34:8:
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

 

It was the fiery warm light of the Menorah that shone forward from south to north and with whose cone of light the twelve shew breads (Note: also called ‘bread of His presence’) were irradiated (cf. Exodus 26:35 i.c.w. Numbers 8:2-3).

 

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.

 

Numbers 8:2-3:
2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you set up the lamps, see that all seven light up the area in front of the lampstand.’ ”
3 Aaron did so; he set up the lamps so that they faced forward on the lampstand, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

 

This means in the context of the raising of the twelve-year-old daughter of Jairus that the ‘living Menorah’ of the church – ekklēsia in the form of Jesus as the revelatory truth of the word of God, His three disciples as the apostolic mission of God, Jairus together with his wife as the covenant relationship in first love (Note: agąpē) and his ‘sleeping’ daughter as the church – ekklēsia in the rest of God, was ignited. This ignition reveals the call to go ahead as ‘Ekklēsia’ in a new way on behalf of Christ with the burning power of the new day in revelatory truth and in the structure of the new wineskin (cf. Isaiah 26:19).

 

Isaiah 26:19:
19 But your dead will live, Lord; their bodies will rise – let those who dwell in the dust wake up and shout for joy – your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead.

 

It was the duty of Aaron the high priest and his sons to clean the lamps of the Menorah in the morning, so that it would shine in its sevenfold light in purity with the beginning of the new day, since in the biblical context the day begins with evening (cf. Exodus 27:21 i.c.w. Genesis 1:2-5).

 

Exodus 27:21:
21 In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come.

 

Genesis 1:2-5:
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning – the first day.

 

 

Jesus’ instruction to the daughter of Jairus was related to His seizure of her hand, which involves the transfer of God’s strength and His plans for the saints who are serving in the office of the fivefold ministry in the church and are destined to equip the ‘Ekklēsia’ with the nourishment of the Word of God and its mysteries for this time (cf. Mark 5:41-43 i.c.w.. Matthew 4:4; Ephesians 4:11-13).

 

Mark 5:41-43:
41 He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.

 

Matthew 4:4:
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God (cf. Deuteronomy 8:3).’”

 

Ephesians 4:11-13:
11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

 

In order for the ‘great light’ of the Menorah to effectively shine with the new day of the LORD, it is necessary that we remove the voices and presence of unbelief from the foreordained realm of God’s manifested plans. As it is revealed to us by the incident at the house of Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, where Jesus, as mentioned earlier, entered Jairus’ house with His three chosen disciples to remove unbelief from the house in the form of mourning and mockery.

 

This action is tantamount to the cleansing of the lamps of the Menorah by the high priest, so that it may once again shine unclouded in its fullness and purity. => Jairus’ daughter is to be seen here as a symbol of the new wineskin in the apostolic order (cf. Mark 5:22-24.35-37).

 

Mark 5:22-24.35-37:
22 Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.
23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.”
24 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. …
35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.

 

Amen and Amen.

Note:
The following message is the second part of a teaching that consists of two parts.
It is recommended to read the message chronologically.

 

Here it is no coincidence that Jesus Christ previously healed the woman with the issue of blood, who had already suffered from this severe and isolation causing disease for twelve years (cf. Mark 5:25-34).

 

Mark 5:25-34:
25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.
26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.
27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”
29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”
31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.
33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.
34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

 

The number 12 has special significance in this context because it is mentioned twice. In this context it is connected with the apostolic order and the new administration.

 

This means that the next generation or administration, represented by the twelve-year-old girl, lay dormant while the old leadership, symbolized by the woman suffering from blood flow, pushed through to sustain the new life of the apostolic order and allow the fresh life to increase in her temple-body.

 

Through the condition of the woman healed of blood flow who was walking towards Jesus and the daughter of Jairus raised from the dead who was in a reclining condition, we can see the two woods of the cross of Jesus, with the elder revealing the vertical beam and the younger revealing the horizontal beam of the cross of Jesus.

 

This encompasses God’s call to the older and younger generation of the church – ekklēsia to proclaim and reveal the triumph of Christ before the visible and invisible world. <= (Note: The text set in ‘=>’ is based on a revelatory teaching from the book ‘Redeeming The Time’ by Chuck D. Pierce, published by Charisma House, ISBN 978-1-59979-378-8, page 10.)

 

 

Returning once again to the biblical passage from Isaiah 22:20-23, the assigned measure of believers includes a measure of glory that each individual saint bears and contributes as a whole to a weight associated with the ‘weighty glory of God’, called ‘kābôd’ in Hebrew.

 

The word ‘kābôd’ describes, among other things, ‘honor, dignity, glory, majesty, prestige’ and ‘heaviness’ (Note: part excerpt from the Elberfelder Studienbibel on the Hebrew word ‘kābôd’ with word key number 3593).

 

The presence of the so-called ‘heaviness of God’ points to God or even persons who are in high authority from God. The reason for this is that God is uniquely the ‘King of Glory’ (cf. Psalm 24:7.9-10).

 

This type of God’s presence is characterized by the presence of His being, which is a consuming fire. Moreover, the LORD is surrounded by a dark cloud (cf. Psalm 18:11).

 

Psalm 18:11:
11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him – the dark rain clouds of the sky.

 

By rightfully abiding in this presence, there is an increase of glory in the form of splendor in the personal life of each saint (cf. Exodus 24:16-18 i.c.w. Exodus 34:29).

 

Exodus 24:16-18:
… 16 and the glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from within the cloud.
17 To the Israelites the glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain.
18 Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

 

Exodus 34:29:
29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord.

 

It is necessary that we allow the hand of the LORD and the power of His Word to anchor us deeply in the revelatory truth of His written Word for this time and the time to come (cf. Isaiah 22:23 i.c.w. Jeremiah 23:29), so that we may reliably lead those whom God has entrusted to us in the responsibility assigned by God.

 

Isaiah 22:23:
23 I will drive him like a peg (Note: nail) into a firm place; he will become a seat of honor for the house of his father.

 

Jeremiah 23:29:
29 “Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

 

 

In this context, it is necessary to know your God-assigned boundaries in order to be enabled to responsibly bear the weight of His glory without independently expanding your field of responsibility, which can mean ‘giving in’ in the form of breaking a nail out of the wall in one’s God-assigned position as described in Isaiah 22:25.

 

Isaiah 22:25:
25 “In that day,” declares the Lord Almighty, “the peg driven into the firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and will fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut down.” The Lord has spoken.

 

As saints in Christ Jesus, our mandate is to move in the responsibility assigned to us by the Father and to act dutifully in authority therein. This includes observing the boundaries established and assigned by God and extending ourselves within that framework without pushing the boundaries by ourselves (cf. Deuteronomy 19:14; Deuteronomy 27:17; Proverbs 22:28, Proverbs 23:10).

 

Deuteronomy 19:14:
14 Do not move your neighbor’s boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess.

 

Deuteronomy 27:17:
17 “Cursed is anyone who moves their neighbor’s boundary stone.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”

 

Proverbs 22:28:
28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors.

 

Proverbs 23:10:
10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless, …

 

It is of high importance that we know our identity and field of responsibility in order to exercise in it the authority that God has assigned to us.

 

 

In order to properly expand the field of responsibility in Jesus Christ before the eyes of the LORD, it must first have been decided with God and expanded by Him (cf. Exodus 34:24 i.c.w. Deuteronomy 12:20).

 

Exodus 34:24:
24 I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.

 

Deuteronomy 12:20:
20 When the Lord your God has enlarged your territory as he promised you, and you crave meat and say, “I would like some meat,” then you may eat as much of it as you want.

 

Jesus and the apostle Paul also lived according to this principle and paid attention to their boundaries (cf. Matthew 15:22-24; 2 Corinthians 10:13).

 

Matthew 15:22-24:
22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

 

2 Corinthians 10:13:
13 We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God himself has assigned to us, a sphere that also includes you.

 

 

It is necessary that we as the ekklēsia understand God’s order in His kingdom of leadership and authority in order to live in God given and holy protection. It requires healthy submission that enables us to experience the protection afforded us by the wings of God (cf. Psalm 91:1-2).

 

Psalm 91:1-2:
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

 

Not every Christian is called to leadership, and this must be respected and understood. If we do not respect this, we intervene in a field of authority that leads to a disproportion in the church, resulting in many unnecessary difficulties and dangers such as it was explained with Korah and his company in the Torah (cf. Numbers 16).

 

 

To walk in the assigned field of accountability in the authority of God, we must know what authority is and how as well as when it takes hold.

 

In the kingdom of God, authority is a consequence of accountability. Generally speaking, we have authority in any area of the church or ministry only to the extent that we have responsibility for that area. If we have no responsibility for a certain field, we have no authority and mandate in it.

 

In order to have much authority and be competent in it, we should be under the covering or mentoring of saints who have more authority than we do. This is evident, for example, in the leadership of the people of Israel by Moses and Aaron, the following of Elisha towards the prophet Elijah, and the following of the disciples of Jesus.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,
