7 Messages for your Edification,Empowerment, Enrichment, andEnhancement {Vita-MAN "E's"}

Quote from the Global Leadership Institute..."Hebrews 11 {OurFaith in HIM}, Hebrews 12 {HIS Faith in us}"

{1} Abraham's SevenSeparations

De f i n in g M om e n t s a n d C r u c i a l T u r n in gP o in t s n o u r De s t i n y

Like Abraham, we too, are on a journey, a charted course, and abold new discovery. In our progression and pursuit, we makesome of the most important decisions towards our destination,

knowing that predestination is simply "Pre-Destiny," our destinyforeknown by God, conceived in HIS mind, and manifested in the

earthly sphere.

It is in this all important development that we come to understandour purpose, not merely in some intellectual treatise, but in thatinner witness and in the unfolding and shaping of events in ourlife.

Meaning, one of the most interesting discoveries of purpose anddestiny is that the Lord reveals in series and sequences that weare born to BE, then born to DO. For doing comes out of being.Abraham was born to be a father of a multitude, but he had to gothrough the ordained process for his deeply defined purpose.

Whatever your purpose, there is a process, and proportionate toevery calling is the necessary and needed confrontation thereof. Ifyou are called to apostleship, then comes the confirmation,character, contesting, challenging, controversy {I'll explain at

another time...lol}, confrontation, and commitment {Vita-MAN-hood 'C's"} because of the calling.In the understanding of purpose and destiny, bear in mind, that

true responsibility is "Our Response to God's Ability."The Lordenables us to endure as overcomers in the entire process, asprocess is not punishment.

He has ordained the smiths and the coals of fire {Isaiah 54}, thelocusts {Joel 2}, and Job's three friends {or were they his fiends,smile of course}. Every testimony requires a test, and your NOWmessage may be the fruit of going through what you once had

deemed as a big MESS {message}.If your car seems to be a lemon, just remember that the Lord isfaithful in turning your lemon {experience} into lemonade. He cankeep you from the lion's den, or within it. He can keep you in theboat, rock the boat, or when you have appeared to go overboard.His counsel stands, and he does all things according to hispleasure. Isaiah 46:10-11

Now back to Abraham.

Was Abraham merely the great father of faith or was he the father

of TRUST? Answer, the father of TRUST. He had to trust God notonly for the promise, but during what many of us deem as thegrueling and enduring process as well. Many today despise theprocess, or the prepared place of the Lord, but O do we quicklyquote hundreds of faith scriptures to hurry things up.


4/66

We sometimes think that by doing so, it becomes unofficially somemagical talisman {I'm laughing here}, which instantly eradicatesour miserable existence. We get solace and relief knowing that wehave been whisked away from the whole pointless scenario,giggling on the inside that somehow we have escaped the

inescapable, and have outsmarted God himself.

But notice the turning points, defining moments, and separationsof Abraham. In these, they may appear to be one's personalepiphany, but whatever it means to you, let it become the steppingstone for launching you into the fullness of your destination. Foryou are purposed and perfected with a purpose, and destined anddesigned for destiny. Purpose and plans are in the heart of God,and through his passion and presence; they abound in you andme, too.

1 - Abraham had the crucial experience of leaving the place offamiliarity. Genesis 12:1-4. He left his {100 fold - father's house}, 60fold - his kindred}, and {30 fold - his country}. In time, we too, must

journey away from familiarity, and cut the cords and apron strings,or anything that is not conducive to our progression and maturity.The initial step or stage of our migration and progression appearsunto many at first as the lengthiest part of the process. It is in thefirst beginnings that many despise the journeying toward theircrossover and undiscovered country, yet this is a most crucialstage of our development. If we are going to seize and to maximizethe moment, there may have to be a process of elimination.

In a more intense encounter, it may even come to renunciation inorder to pursue what is destined for you. In order to procure orascertain one dimension of progressive revelation, you will have torelinquish something you may now be holding on to. Philippians3:13-15.

2 - Abraham had to encounter self-preservation. Genesis 12:11-13.Here, Abraham got desperate about his life, and cooked up a self-made plan to keep him alive amongst Egypt. Abram {father ofheights, high minded or high headed} decided that by having Saraito pose as his sister, the Egyptians would not kill him.

This is reminiscent of many today, as we encounter crossroads inour life, which requires the most stabilizing and significant of


5/66

choices {Our response to HIS ability}. This is why self-preservationis one of the strongest forces in the human nature, a need to liveand survive, no matter what the cost.

3 - Abraham had to separate and part company from Lot. Genesis

13: Abraham left Egypt and Lot his nephew followed on. Lot hadplenty of things, numerous carry-on items, with a host of flocks,herds, and tents. It became impossible for them to dwell together,seeing that they had too much stuff between them, and that theherdsmen of each grew apart through strife.

Abraham and Lot chose to separate to their own destination, asAbraham went towards the land of promise, and Lot towards theland of plenty. Bear in mind, PLENTY is not always PROMISE.

In each of our journeys there are times when we have to partcompany with certain others which may potentially delay, impede,and deter our progress. This requires discernment. After Abramhad parted, the Lord begins to reiterate the promise. Thingsbecome crystal clear when it is time to move on. There is a timeand season for this. Be patient in the process, and be bold aboutyour destination.

4 - Sarai, Dominative: Genesis 16. Sarai conjured up a good idea ofher own, a simile of the promise, but O, far from it. She concocted

this scheme, a devised plan to have a son, through the futileefforts of Abram and Sarai's maid Hagar.

What's seemingly funny to me is that at no time do you find Abramobjecting to lying with Hagar, no fuss at all. Yet, Abram's andSarai's ingenious device produced a fabrication, resulting fromimpatience and a lack in longevity towards the promise. If we startthis thing in our flesh, we may potentially maintain it that way. Thatwhich is born of the _______ is _______, and

5 - Hagar and Ishmael: Genesis 16-17. Well, at this point there is noturning back the clock on what had happened between the three ofthem. Hagar fled the harsh feelings of Sarai. In time, she bore ason. Here, we discover first that Sarai was somehow convicted ofher actions, and in this dimension of our maturity, it is teaching usto take ACTION towards the things birthed out of our ownREACTION.


6/66

Okay, we may have felt like we had once blown the whole deal, butnot so, for the promise is simply coming into manifestation, intangibility and substance. The word is being made flesh. ButHagar, you have to GO! I can't keep you here another day in my

presence or sight. There is no room in my house for God's promiseand the recurrent memory that attempts to sabotage my mind, orfor a nagging quarrel which suggests that I have made the most

pitiful, non-repairable, mistake and blunder of my life. I will not livemy life in this way. I pursue with the ongoing rhythm of the Spiritthe promise.

For the key to success in life is perseverance, and the key toperseverance is vision. The key to vision is purpose, and the keyto purpose is GOD!6 - Sodom: Genesis 18-19: Sodom represents the immoral clutchesof today's culture. It is a place of perversity, where the reverentialfear and awe of the Lord is not known. Sodom and her surroundingcities {cohorts} are drenched in wicked imaginations, a steepedhedonistic society that is bent on satisfying their insatiableappetites.

Abram is seen as in intercessor, one that stands in the gaps andhedges, with a rightful disposition to pray, and not to faint. Unlikemany who are moved {motivated} by the external sensory,Abraham looked for a city which had foundations whose builderand maker is God - Hebrews 11:10. His functionality in partstemmed from his focus {not hocus pocus, lol}. Instead ofbecoming a passing trend in the midst of Sodom, Abrahambecame a standard, whose core values indicated "NoCompromise."

I weep now as many in leadership have failed this test of being astandard in the midst of strange and dark places. Ministry is noplace to promote your own importance. Our view in life should befrom a kingdom perspective and not a "needs" and "bless me realgood" oriented one.

When we define our core values, our standards, we can stand inany place we are to go. For our internal representation and innerstate is the same as always. We do those things, which pleases the


7/66

Father. Our motivation is not external, but it is internal and eternal.Our motivation and divine drive in life is born out of purpose. Thekingdom is not come by observation {Luke 17:20}. May we returnto the importance of core kingdom values, and standards that willlast a lifetime?

7 - Isaac: Genesis 22. The very thing that Abraham desired of theLord is now required of HIM to give up. What appears to be astriking contradiction is not a contradiction at all.Abrahamunderstood the true meaning of worship {Ascribing worth to theLord}, as he again is the father of TRUST.

To trust God in the process, even when you don't fully understand,is an act of worship. To willingly give back or to give up unto theLord what you have longed for your entire life, is one of the

sweetest yet courageous acts there is. The propensity to let go onthe spot, without a tussle, is what Abraham possessed. He did notsee his son as about to be slain, but saw the whole process as

WORSHIP. He simply affirmed, "The Lord will provide!"He did not see his son as a mere sacrifice, but as one raised fromthe dead. This is Abraham's 7th separation; the consummation ofall that he had went through.

In principle, we have to be prepared in our hearts for suchdimension of grace and glory. All do not find it important to offerup the most precious and dearest thing to them.Some curse theircrisis, and others just give up themselves. But, to give up the

promise, to relinquish, to let go, and to separate yourself withouthesitation as Father Knows Best, is PURE worship, perhaps thehighest kind of worship or response in God's inner dealings withus.

In each of Abraham's defining moments, separations, and criticallyimportant experiences, we can glean from them for our journey.

From leaving the comforts and grounds of:

1. Familiarity...

2. Self-preservation...


8/66

3. Excess baggage or company, internal squabbles - divineseparations from people...

4. Self-made plans and good ideas...

5. Nagging notions of feeling we missed the promise or blew italtogether...

6. Standards amid immoral trends...

7. True worship {the discovery that we release what is in our handas the Lord releases what is in HIS the process becomesgloriously rewarding...

It has been a joyful time in serving you and we do appreciate thefellowship. Continue to feed the seed and to nurture the nature, for

by Divine enlightenment you are becoming what you already are.Apostolic blessings to all, and know that you are highlyFLAVORED of the Lord.

{2} Change ofSeason...

Regardless of the CurrentTemperatures we are

ExperiencingBeloved, "It's a New Season,"{Your New Season, your appointedtime, Your New Year begins with a NEW YOU...}regardless of thecurrent temperatures you are now experiencing. {Ecclesiastes 3}...


9/66

For some it may appear to be frigid cold weather while entering the{Spiritual} Spring season, and to others it may appear to beunseasonably warmer weather for the beginning of their apparentWinter.

But truth is, the weather, though unseasonably warm or blizzardcold, does not negate the simple yet profound truth that yourexpected season of the Lord is ALREADY HERE, and yourCHANGE is COME. No weather conditions can forfeit or delay yourdestiny and God's design for your LIFE. No changes in thetemperature will change your appointed season.

Though we are lending meaning by borrowing terms to depictnatural weather patterns in the natural, temperatures as we knowit is not the determining factor that the season has arrived or is

expired.

In many instances, we can expect cold weather continuingthrough Winter in such places of the USA as Michigan, Colorado,

Minnesota, Alaska, and beyond, especially for you geographical andmeteorological buffs {lol} who understand the seasons regarding the

equator...

But what if you were preparing for the Winter season and have

experienced a definitely warmer climate instead?Is the period orseason of Winter to be substituted as Spring because of theunseasonably warm temperatures, or is the Spring to be renamedthe Second Winter because it is still unbearably cold? Not so!

Each season will have a differing effect of weather patterns in itsregion, and in some places a surprise duration of warmerweather during the Winter, and a cold front during the Spring. Butthe truth is, a new season has come into your LIFE regardless ofwhat you are used to being acclimated to. For again, the weather

does not change your season...

In spiritual terms, temperatures do not circumvent the time andseason for your appointed season or breakthrough. Theyare simply temperatures, weather conditions, and climates, andagain, they do not negate your appointed season...


10/66

Even so, in the worse of inclement weather, scorching heat aridconditions , or in the most turbulent weather of its kind, remember,God made the storm with YOU in mind! {Acts 27}. He is notcommitted to your mere ability, but to your destiny! When allseems to have failed, and hope appears to be lost at a distant

shore, take courage, and be empowered in the revolution of HISrevelation for your LIFE...

For though we may observe the natural elements in the sky as apoint of reference, there is a deeper discernment of a parallel {orunparalleled} universe {UNI-VERSE, the one thing GOD has beensaying from the beginning}, a place in the spirit that is notgoverned by calendar time. There is a place where the world newsreports bring no alarm, where failure to succeed {according to thedictates of men} brings no shame, and where there is not a care ofthis world to get us anxious and all worked up for anything.

There is beloved, a realm ofHIS unlimited glory that is breakingforth from within our limited mentalities and is invading our topheavy concepts, bringing light into the chamber of men'simagery.This Now word is illumined in our hearts as thequickening Spirit, a word in DUE SEASON, and yet, a word for allseasons. For Christ is the reason for our appointed times andseasons...He ordains the seasons in our LIFE for an appointed,

divine, intended, and eternal purpose...

Now there is a word being made ALIVE within us that has called usforth out of our graves {Ezekiel 37 - a rut is a grave with both endskicked out}, to enter into our land, our inheritance, ourundiscovered country, and our destiny. It is a word that is PRE-carnate, before time was, only to come forth into the fullness of theappointed time. Thus the Pre-Carnate Word must become in us theIN-Carnate. It is a word for our PRE-DESTINY{Predestination}!

It is found in the principle of the 12 gates of the city {Get the book,From Visitation to Habitation by Tim and Theresa Early, GlobalLeadership Institute} the church in perfection and glory, the city

which is a people, the expansion of HIS mansion. It is G.A.D.,God's troop that is coming forth! It is the principle ofpredestination of G.A.D. as God's Army of Destiny, a people


11/66

purposed and perfected with a purposed, and destined anddesigned with a glorious destiny.

It is a people that PRESS through much tribulation! It is a peoplelike the children of Issachar who understand and discern the timesand the seasons, a people who are not abashed or afraid fromentering in to all that HE is and all that HE does, even if sometimeswe may not admit that we don't like how things are being done orwhat is happening to us in the process of our buffeting, perfection,and maturity...

For many, there are promises after promises, hope against hope,and the fight of a good fight of faith {literally - agonizinga goodagony}. Years pass by, and it appears to some that we are stillsitting on the PrEmises, though we are actively walking on thePrOmises. We have cried, we have laughed, and at times didneither, but the season of our expectancy has not beenundermined, rather, pre-determined by the Lord himself!

For we have tasted of the good word, and the powers of theworld to come {Hebrews 6}, to come into Manifestation,Tangibility,and Substance! What is ahead {and NOW is} is far greater andweightier in glory than what we had once believed. In truth, it is theclosest encounter of the THIRD KIND {from mankind to THIRD-KIND}, the THIRD Dimension, and the MOST holy place. Living in3D {Third Dimension}...

It is the conflict of ourold memories with creative imagination,Jacob wrestling with a man all night {or angel} or the unveilingrevelation of his true identity {from Identity crisis to Identifyingdestiny's design}. Though Jacob may momentarily have had a limpof a walk, yet he is {1 John 4:17} destined to get where he wasgoing.

This living word, Now word, word in due season, and a word in andout of season, is the Word of the Lord which is forever settled inthe heavenlies. It is a word that cannot be bound by time, orimprisoned by circumstances and situations. Though we have allexperienced many problems, there is but ONE word for allproblems, ONE word for all instances, ONE word for all times andseasons. ONE word for every happening in our lives...


12/66

In the present truth dimension, each one of us is given a seasonappointed of the Lord, a set time and agenda of the Spirit which inone aspect of startling truth, has nothing to do with us, but ALL todo with His preeminence, sovereignty, Rule, glory, predeterminedcounsel, and Eternal Purpose. Remember in Revelation 1 how

John "Became Spirit" on the Lord's day, the Day of the Lord, a Daylike no other, for John was IN-Spirit, or INSPIRED! It was a daytotally GOD, Totally LORD, and totally HIS majesty, and from thereJohn begin to write the book of Revelation or Revolution...for HEwas in the Spirit on the LORD's DAY!!!

Continuing on, your divine season of the Spirit is not determinedby the natural elements of cold, wind, heat, nor rain, but is apersonalized spiritual dimension that the Lord is bringing to pastin our sphere of time...for an intended purpose

In this, he may use whatever is necessary to bring aboutHIS completion of purpose through you. For some would say, "Ifhe did not send it, he can sure use it!" But I say, in the greaterglory and bigger scheme of things, he can send and use it, good ornot so good, pleasant or unpleasant, becoming, or unbecoming,He is LORD! He can deliver from the lions den, or keep you in it!He can deliver you from the fire, or become the fourth man therein.Amen somebody...

And remember, the sound of a new season is not alone the joy ofanother external and material breakthrough or blessing that wehave eagerly awaited for some time, it may even be a timewhen one might wonder if God has left the universe for notappearing to have come through for us in certain life matters!{Grin}

In the present truth principle of seasons, it could be likened in partas to a kairos time, the appointed time, and the season of the Lordfor breakthrough {Micah 2:13}, and the Promised order of the Spiritfor your LIFE.

When Jesus showed up a little later for the sleeping Lazarus'remaining family, it was not at all late, but very much on time. InJohn 11, Jesus speaks that it was necessary for him to show upoutside of the range of some people's perception and perhaps


13/66

expectation. He was simply demonstrating a power-FUEL kingdomprinciple of eternity invading our time...

Jesus was not governed by time, and the time that we think heshould have arrived, in truth, He was already there {A very present

help}...Thank God for His eternal Nowness, Is, Was, Is to come...atall times...

More on Seasons...below...

Now, let's look briefly at a couple of scriptures for youredification

I will give you rain in due season...Leviticus 26:4 {season for rain}

The Lord shall open unto you his good treasure, the heaven to giverain unto the land in his season, and to bless all the work of yourhand. And you shall lend unto many nations, and you shall notborrow. Deuteronomy 28:12{Open Heavens, and Open Earth}

The eyes of all wait upon you; and you give them their meatin dueseason. Psalms 145:15 {also verse 16}...AlsoMatthew 24:45 {Physical food, or supernatural sustenance,whether 30-fold, the Raven, 60-fold, the widow's meal, or 100-fold,

Angel food of Elijah, we have meat in due season}

Now notice for a moment, the principle of day and the night. Formany, the beginning of evening is not always nightfall, butremaining daylight. And, depending upon the time of the year,whether the clock rolls back one hour in the Fall, or is advancedone hour ahead in the Spring, evening, whether dusk towards dark,or very light in the summer, varies according to the times andseasons.

The 6:00pm hour is still considered the evening time, whether it is

dark outside or not. Not forgetting, when we are discussingchanges of the day there are some regions of the world wheredaylight is more extended than to any other - and the same fornight. And in some places of the world, it never gets cold, and itnever gets hot!


14/66

So, in gaging our efforts by view of the natural seasons of the year,if your appointed season is Autumn, and it still feels like ascorching Summer, does the weather and climate actually changeyour appointed season? NO!

If your appointed season of the Lord is Spring, and it still feels likeWinter, does that mean you have missed your season? NO!

If it's your time and season beloved, then so be it, regardless of thetemperatures of life you are now experiencing, or the climatic anddramatic conditions of the weather! For again, the weather doesnot negate your appointed season...

The New Season is simply the things of Old in God establishedbefore time. However, it is new perhaps to our perception, mind,

and mentalities, for when the mind is introduced to a newidea, sphere, realm, and dimension of glory, it cannot return to itsoriginal size...Like 2 feet in a pair of shoes, the foot has grown toanother size, incapable of wearing the once smaller shoe frombefore...

So beloved, remember this, that your change of season has come,regardless of the temperature you are experiencing, regardless ofthe weather conditions.

In closing, I remember many years ago watching with our familythe animated series entitled "Little Bear" on Nickelodeon. Beforethe show ended for that day, one of the characters rehearsed thisparticular line which goes like this...

Whether the Weather be ColdOr whether the Weather be HotWe'll weather the weather whatever the weatherWhether we like it or not {grin} {Read Acts 27}

Simply put, the weather changes are to be expected, but muchmore beloved, expect the fulfillment of God's eternal purposes inhis appointed season for your life's progression. Position forpossession in your progression. Feed the seed and nurture thenature, for you {through divine enlightenment} are becoming whatyou already are!


15/66

Apostolic blessings to all, as you are highly FLAVORED of theLord, marinated, pickled, sauteed, and roasted! Together, we arereforming the church to reform the nations, advancing thekingdom, and pioneering the boldness of a brand new day! Ourpersonal plans may change but not the Lord's. The venue and

vehicle may change but not the eternal purpose of the Father!

For you were born to be {being} and to do {doing} what you wereborn to be! Change is inevitable, so embrace it! Nothing canundermine the irresistible, steadfast, massive, and unendingcounsel of God! In this, HE will do ALL HIS pleasure.And beloved,that is the KEY to the UNI-VERSE {one saying}, the ONE Universalword which God has been speaking to man all along from thebeginning!

Apostolic and Apocalyptic Blessings...


{3} The Crucible ofChange

There is a place in God where we can't pray some things away, orfast some things away at all. Well, you can try, and try sincerely,but don't think for one moment that our exhaustive attempts isgoing to settle the matter of and in itself, when in truth, it is theLord, who SETTLES {ed}the Matter according to the counsel of HISown WILL, in HIS choosing, His Abiding, and in HIS good

pleasure...

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory inChrist, after you have suffered a little while, will HIMSELF restoreyou and make you strong, firm, and steadfast. To HIM be the Powerforever and ever. Amen.1 Peter 5:10-11. NIV


16/66

That is why it is important for saints to have a strong foundation

on the Eternal Judgments of the Lord in Hebrews 6, the counselof the Lord, HIS divine intention, the Judgments of God, and God'sway of doing things...From beginning to end, HIS counsel stands,

and he will do all HIS pleasure. Isaiah 46:10; Ephesians 1:11, 3:11

Continuing on...there is the inevitable, the expected end, and thedivine outcome of what God has divinely intended for us all, in oneform, shape, fashion, or another...

There is the process for our perfection, a perfection which is nothinged nor rest upon what we can do or have done for God, but inwhat HE has declared over us from the beginning...Isaiah 55:11;Jeremiah 6:16

The process may sometimes feel uneasy, and for others, there arethose feelings that God has let us down for not getting us out ofthe dire straits we are in. But if you can receive this, "God will notallow anything to Happen to you and me that will NOT bring gloryunto HIMSELF. It may appear as a negative particle at times, andnot what we are generally accustomed to, but the thing you and meare experiencing is not unto death, but to the GLORY of God...John11

The Father wants an opportunity to simply BE himself in thematter. He wants to SHOW UP, and in essence, SHOW OUT, sowhat we can SHOW FORTH the praises of HIM who has called usout of darkness into HIS marvelous LIGHT! {Genesis 1:1-3; John1:1-14}

No matter how hot the fire, the boiling temperatures, or the heat ofthe furnace of affliction, In the Law of Divine Intention, or the Lawof ORDER, God is working ALL things together in us after thecounsel of HIS own will. Father does not speak necessarily to oursituation alone, but to HIS purpose, His plan, His intention. Hespeaks peace to His Order, and if you can receive this, HE speaksto HIMSELF {Genesis 1:26}

Why?

For God knows himself within HIMSELF. He only knows God andthe LIFE that springs forth out of HIM...


17/66

In all of the things we seem to be experiencing that is not to ourliking, or not what we had expected, let us begin bysaying... Beloved, Welcome to the Crucible of Change!

With the word "Crucible,"we see in the dictionary the calcining ofmaterials at high temperatures, the bottom of an ore furnace inwhich the molten metals collect {The collected metals are thosetried in the fire of the furnace of affliction, kept during the hour oftrial}. The American Heritage Dictionary also defines Crucible as asevere test or trial."

From the Latin we get the root form of the word "Crux," which isthe CROSS. The Cross is related to the "Crucifix, theCrucifixion, and in the principles of Jesus hanging on the cross,we get a further revealing of how agonizing the cross is, thecruelty of the cross, the crux of this experience, and the crucible orintense heat of the load, the apparent shame, the humiliation, andbeyond.

This same Jesus Christ, for the joy that was set before usENDURED the Cross, DESPISED the SHAME and is now sitting onthe right hand of power, glory, and blessing with the Father. Why.For one important note here is, he ENDURED with focus, and was

clear on HIS mission and God's intention...Hebrews 12:2-3

Now, the Crucible is the place of testing and trying, the mostintense times of your life. All do not past the intended test of thecrucible of change for they give audience, head, and sight toomuch and too long on the current pain, the discomforting agony ofthe crucible, as the scriptures again allude to Jesus "WHOM, forthe JOY that was set before HIM...meaning, we don't count it allJOY, we don't begin and end the process with JOY...Joy is theKINGDOM, and the Kingdom of God is not marked by sorrow and

sadness...Romans 14:17Instead, we curse our crisis, and we belittle the God of heaven as ifour particular scenario of tests and trials are so insurmountable,too much for God to handle...


18/66

Now when you say "Ex-cruciate," it is to inflict with severe painand torture, to inflict great mental pain, to CRUCIFY.Ex-cruciate is from the root crucify, and crucify carries the rootmeaning crux, all related to the crucible, or the most excruciatingand intense time of trial and test in your life. {Is there a testimonyin the house?}

So, what has been for you, beloved, the most excruciating testsand trials in your life, and how did you perceive them?

Did you despise it, or embrace it? What did we learn from it, andwhat did we become in the enduring and intense discovery of theundiscovered country?

Out of our most dreadful experience as one may deem, the worsethat one could ever imagined - behold, the radiant glory of theLord appears. For again, the Lord will not have you and me to gothrough some delicate and intense process except it brings gloryto him.

All things are working together for the good to them that love God,and are the called according to his purpose. God has a divineintention in mind, even if we don't like it at all...Romans 8

All will experience in one degree or another, the CRUCIBLE OFCHANGE, the day of the oven where we are roasted with fire,melted down to perfection {smile} and reshaped into the formingand fashioning of HIS glory. And when we are done according tohis design, none can resist you, none can stand against you.

For the reflection within the gold is the image of Christhimself. That is what HE is looking at,HIMself in HIS corporatebody, nothing less than what HE is and what HE does.

When a person says that they are taking crucial steps towards acertain development, do they really know what they are saying?Crucial is also a form of the word 'Crux,"the cross, and we canclearly see that the crucial, excruciating, and crucible of change isnot meant to destroy us, but to make us. Many want to fake it untilthey make it, but why fake it all?


19/66

DESTINY {in HIM, Pre-destiny} is the meaning of LIFE on earth. Iwould be more cautious in not living than a person is worriedabout dying. I would empower the seed of the kingdom to speak tohis eternal purpose in my life and would not give heed or audience

to that which is a stranger.

I would cheerfully applaud and acknowledge the image of Christ inyou and me and HIS finished work then to empower the image ofthe BEAST to speak.

Everything in the fullness of Christ is bringing about all that HE is

and DOES as the matter is settled, IN Christ, All things areresuming its end and beginning in Christ, he is the SUM, and hecame in the volume of the book.

The one important feature of the passing process of the Crucible

of Change is that "Change" is inevitable,it is a kingdom word,as we are being changed into the same image from glory to glory{2 Corinthians 3:18}.

The momentary test and trial, the sense of being treated unfairly,the idea of not getting that big break in ministry, or without the jobof your dreams... The feeling that one may have missed out on Godfor making gross mistakes or for not measuring up with the guy

and gal on the same block as we...

In the word's of the Lord Elohim himself, "Who told you that youwere naked?"

Who told you that in becoming a ministry of present day truth thatit was going to be a rolled out red carpet celebration for you eachtime?

Who told you you were the luckiest {We are blessed, not lucky}

guy and gal in town?

Who told you that you were exempt from the stripping away likeshittim wood and the buffeting process?

Who told you that if Paul and Jesus knew what you now knowtoday they would not have had to suffer or endure at all.


20/66

Who told you you were naked and ashamed?

Beloved, we pray that you prepare for your progressionsahead with joyful gladness, counting it all joy when experiencingdifferent tests, trials, or upsets, and disappointments. Such are

purposed to work in us endurance or patience, or you may nevervalue the need for patience until you are placed in a situationwhere you really need it.

Tribulation works patience, and if you lack patience, well then,HELLO tribulation.

For some the pressure cookeris on and the fire is getting hot.

And beloved, do you feel like a jackpot or a crackpot these days?

Smile, God's making unto HIMSelf vessels of HIS honor, and thetruth be told, in one sense, the whole issue is not about us at all,but the counsel of HIS own will, and HE, the Lord doing all of HISpleasure in us. The crucible is here, but so is the glory of the Lordin the midst of us. The greater the revelation, the greater thesuffering. Ah, but the greater the suffering, FAR-Exceeding is theGreater Glory of the Lord!

From Faith, to Trust, to Rest...


{4} Transitioning andMigration is

a Way of LIFE{1} The Church or kingdom community, local and universal is inTransitioning {and Migration}, from glory to glory, from faith to


21/66

faith, from conception to perfection, from the cross to the throne,from Moses Tabernacle to Solomon s Temple.II Corinthians 3:18 {Change is perhaps the single most importantword in our process: 1 Corinthians 15:51-54}

{2} Transition is thepassing from one condition, form, stage,place, and activity to another. It is the period of passing. Out ofEgypt, through the Wilderness, to the Promised Land {30-60-100fold}

{3} Transitioning involves a delicate and intense process ofchange. It may even involve transformation and translation.Colossians 1:13; 2 Samuel 3:10; 1 Thessalonians 4:6-18; Hebrews11:5; 12:26-28 Romans 12:2

{4} Transitioning is purpose through process. Process is notpunishment. Purpose through Process {Abraham was MADE afather of many nations} leads to promotion, prosperity andposterity. {Includes P.I.T. Prophets In Training and for others attimes P.M.S. Or, Prophetic Mood Swings

{5} Transitioning and Migration requires personal confrontationof oppressive positions and limited mentalities. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Deuteronomy 7:1-5; 12:1-2: 1 Tim. 1:18; Acts 10:38

{6} Transitioning is linked with maturity. It is one aspect to bespiritual, and there is yet another to be mature. Maturity requires apattern, and Jesus is the pattern son and the blueprint ofperfection. He is the path that leads to the Father s glory. Ezekiel43:10; Ephesians 4:13-15; Colossians 2:10, 19; Hebrews 2:10; 5:8-9; 6:20; Exodus 25:8-9: Hebrews 6:20

{7} Transitioning is not exclusive to the spiritual dimension only,but is applicable to the natural as well. Transitioning is evident in

physical and mental growth, from childhood to adulthood, havingmany levels. 1 Corinthians 13:11; 14:20; 15:46; 1 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter3:18

{8} Transitioning and Migration is apostolic & prophetic inprinciple, nature, character, scope, and dimension. Transitionrecognizes the important stages and development of the saints.


22/66

Whether individual or corporate in caliber, transitioningacknowledges the need to migrate into greater spheres andfrequencies of the Spirit through the active force of Spiritualmomentum. Thus, transitioning here enables you to pioneer newcalibrations in the Spirit. 3:19; 4:13; Hebrews 6:5; Deuteronomy

31:2-3; Romans 8:37-39

{9} Transitioning and Migration is seen in the scripture fromname change to nature change. Abram became Abraham, Sarai toSarah, and Jacob becoming Israel. Jacob was created but Israelwas formed. Isaiah 43:1: 44:1-2; Galatians 4:19;

{10} Transitioning is a way of life. From so called losses to gains,transition is inevitable. From kindergarten to College, and frombeing single to become one in marriage, anticipate transition.Being married doesn t make you a man or a woman. You mustdevelop manhood before marriage, manhood before ministry.Genesis 2:24

Transition & Migration from theTabernacle Pattern

{11} The three dimensions of Moses Tabernacle reveal present

truth of the progressive spiritual maturity of the saints. It revealsthe maturing process, and the migration into new realities andthresholds of the Spirit. Note below some important principles ofthe Tabernacle pattern, and compare Exodus 25:9

{12} The Principles of Excellent things recorded in Proverbs 22:20-21 is

defined by the Hebrew word "Shalosh,"which is "Three-fold." Here, it reveals

how the Lord speaks in "3 s," such as in Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit

being one.

Many call these persons, other s as manifestations. But the truth is, Jesus did

not come to talk about the Father, but to reveal him. We are not here to talk

about Jesus, but to reveal him. If you have seen HIM, you have seen the

Father. In all of our doctrinal positions, what has it produced, the fruit of the

Spirit or the flesh? Are we knowing him and making HIM known?

{13} In Matthew 13:23, those that receive seed upon good ground are those

that hear the word {30 fold}, understand {60 fold}, and bear fruit {100

fold} some 100 {notice 100 is first mentioned here, as oppose to 30 some


25/66

60, and some 30. The higher number is given first, or in present truth

language, the most holy place is first mentioned. Did you get that? For we

were born in the Holy of Holies!

{14} The Tabernacle pattern contains three dimensions each with its own

pieces of furniture. Note below

Outer Court {Brazen Altar, Laver}

Holy Place {Table of Shewbread, Candlesticks, Altar of Incense}

Most Holy Place {Ark - Mercy Seat}

The furniture is patterned in the form of a cross.

+In the pattern, the Altar of Incense typifies Jesus as the centerpiece of the

cross. In addition to this, each piece of furniture reveals the progressive

spiritual maturity of the saints from the outer court to the most holy place,

although we are BORN in and FROM the MOST HOLY PLACE!

For the way to the throne {Ark Mercy Seat} is through the blood and the

cross {Brazen Altar where sin is judged, where we are made righteous. The

four horns of the Brazen Altar are covered with blood, symbolizing the four-

corners of the earth. From one point our race may begin with the Father by

view of the outer court, but HIS race begins with us from the most holy place.

{Secret Place}

{15} The Outer Court mentality is a beginner for many. But when you

compare this dimension with the most holy place, you begin to see a vastly

different dimension of grace and glory than the comforts and security of the

outer court.You begin to get a passion for the manifest and eternal presence

of the Lord beyond the outer court, from within the holiest.


26/66

For if you overstay your time, broad is the way to destruction. In other words,

you can treat the outer court like a security blanket, a place of ease, no risks

involved. For many, the outer court is satisfied with just simply being a

Christianette, period. For many, they don t want to grow up in the full stature

of Christ. They like the idea of being pampered and teased in the outer court.

Everything there seems to be safe, and no adventure ahead.

{16} The Holy Place is the realm between the opposite ends of the

Tabernacle. It is in the holy place where we begin to define what is going on in

the most holy place. If we overstay our time here, it becomes duality and

mixture, carnality to say the least. 5

It is here {in Spirit} where Jesus received the troubling {agitation and stirring}

of the soul as confirmed in John 12:27 {vss. 23-28}

In this dimension, Jesus continued to go further into the most holy place as

oppose to some that return to the outer court {Retreat mentality} for fear of

what s ahead of them. Like the Day of Atonement, there are two different

kinds of Priesthood s. One is the high priest that prevails beyond the veil of

the holy of holies, and the other is the everyday priesthood that retreats to thouter c

eourt.

1}

Those priests can t enter in for the nation of Israel, but the one high priest

can. For here I see Jesus pressing forward into the fullness of promise, while

the other fat cats return to the outer court premises. {Hebrews 4:1-1

In one sense, the outer court is the body, the holy place is the soul, and the

most holy place is the spirit.

According to John 12:25, we must lose the lower life of the psuche, and find

the higher life of Zo. For the soul must be caught up into the ascendancy of

the spirit, as the spirit is caught up unto God.


27/66

The real battleground is in the mind, above your nose, and between your ears.

Our biggest enemy is not the devil, but the way we think. Our greatest sex

organ is not below, but above our shoulders. If we can get the Psuche {we ll

call her Sue} into the ascendancy, the soul will reflect the overcoming

substance of the spirit, and the body will animate that life-changing nature

being renewed in the soul.

For again, the spirit is the source to the soul s expression! From a present

truth standpoint, a healthy and vibrant soul is in part, a result of your spiritual

dietary modification and intake. The spirit then, only knows God, and is one

with HIM. Here, God talks to God and manifests the glory of this communion.

Through the quickening spirit, your inner man can only see, hear, and speak

God!

{17} The third dimension is the most holy place. It is liken to the third day

resurrection of Jesus Christ, a realm of grace and glory that swallows up the

other two realms of our maturity. The holy of holies, is the realm of the

overcomer. It is the realm of the Spirit that is far greater in vast dimension than

the outer court and the holy place combined.

True, the physical Tabernacle structure in the wilderness afforded the larger

compartment to the outer court, and the second largest to the holy place, but

in Spirit, the holiest of all has the greater breadth, width, depth, and height

than any of the first two combined. Ephesians 3:18

Christianity has lived much of its life in one or two dimensions. However, there

is a vast beyond in the most holy place, a realm of substance and overcoming

life that must be pioneered by a people of the Father s passion. It is a realm

where we vanquish beyond the ordinary, the mundane, and the mediocre, into

the flowing streams of life that is prepared for those that enter in. Psalms 46:4


28/66

There is a path which no fowl knows, and which the vulture s eye hath not

seen: The lion s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed it. Job

28:7-8But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ears heard, neither has entered into

the heart of man, the things which, God hath prepared for them that love them.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all

things, yea, and the deep things of God. 1st Corinthians 2:9-10 {Hebrews 6:4-9}Once again, the holy of holies is the largest spiritual dimension than both the

outer court and holy place combined. Proverbs 25:2

Tradition teaches that it is over yonder in Beulah Land. However, the true

realm of the overcomer is not to be experienced in the sweet bye-and-bye, but

in the now-and-now. For as we speak, mortality is swallowed up by LIFE!

So beloved, we can move into a new realm of maturity where the very

substance and pure nature of Jesus Christ transform through the image of

God. For in this dimension the WORD of God becomes incarnate and not

shadow. Here, the WORD is SPIRIT and LIFE, and not doctrinal battles. In this

proceeding and NOW word, you become a quickened man, as revealed in part

in Isaiah 11:2-3: 2 Corinthians 12:1-4; Galatians 1:12; Romans 11:33;

Colossians 2:3;

Yes beloved, transitioning may experience roses and thorns, light and

darkness, the heavenlies and the shadow of death. But the unfolding glory of

the Lord awaits us. It is come to consume us, to envelop and engulf us. It is

come outside the range of age and time, and is invading our time with eternity!

It is making known the eternal will and purposes of God 1st Corinthians 15:51-

54; Exodus 33:18

{18} The Third Dimension can be characterized by the following


29/66

A riding upon the high places of the earth, eating of the heritage of Jacob.

Isaiah 58:14 {Transformed man to Israel}

B Mount Zion, the highest peak in Jerusalem. For all of Mt. Zion is in

Jerusalem, but all Jerusalem is not in Mt. Zion Hebrews 12:22; Isaiah 2:2;

Micah 4:2

C The Third heavens or Paradise of God: 2 Corinthians 12:4

{19} The Third Dimension is not to be viewed as an escape evacuation plan.

Meaning, we are not to treat the most holy place as something, which does not

have anything to do with anyone or anything else on the peripheral scale.

For the goal to entering into a life of overcoming kingdom principles is not to

remain aloof in the most holy place, but to minister from this dimension of

grace and unlimited glory. For there are others coming into the desired and

expected end of the Lord, the realm of the Omega and completion of his

purpose. There are people that shall embrace and apprehend that by which we

are apprehended. Phil. 1:6; 3:13-14; Ephesians 1:11; 3:11; 1 Cor. 13:12

{20} By application of the symbolic and numerical meaning of the

dimensions of the Tabernacle, we find 30 as the outer court, 60 as the holy

place, and 100 as the most holy place. If we were to play with figures in

relation to our progressive maturation and migration into the most holy place,

we would subtract 60 from 100 leaving 40.

The number 40, is symbolic of tests, trials, tribulations, and transitioning. 40,

is also symbolic of a new generation. In one sense, there is a press as we

move from the holy place to the holy of holies, but there is also another

generation coming forth as we emerge from the 2nd day administration of the

church into the glorious dimension of the 3rd day.


30/66

Again, 40 can be defined in part as a new generation, and the Psalmist

declares

This is the generation of them that seek him, which seek thy face, O Jacob.

Selah. Psalms 24:6 {a new generation}Further meaning, when one moves from a 2nd day mentality to a 3rd day

mentality, he or she enters into another generation.

Perhaps it would be better to say anotherRE-generation. For that is what s

actually happening to you when you move from glory to the glory of the latter

house. You are entering in to a secret place according to Psalms 91:1-2, {or

ministering from it} the place where the Cherubim are above the Mercy Seat

according to Isa. 37:16.

Also note, abiding in the principles of the Most Holy Place doesn t make you

any better than the believer next door. For if this were left up to works,

haughty pride would be the devastating and resulting end. O, how the are

mighty fallen!

Most believers who are hungering for all that HE is will not necessarily

experience the full manifestation of the holy of holies all at once.

For there are many principles that are yet to be apprehended and applied. One

could easily enter a new dimension and sphere of third day worship, while

being a part of a traditional religious system that caters to emotionalism.

Another could easily press into a new anointing for signs and wonders, yet

finding it difficult to embrace women in ministry. The same would apply too, to

an individual that is profound in the present truth dimension of the word, while

downplaying the manifestation and operation of the power of God to perform

the supernatural.


31/66

All in all, we are experiencing the third realm of maturity in spats here and

there for now. May the overcoming and glorious church manifest the fullness

of Him that fills all in all! May Christ be multiplied in HIS body, and essence of

HIS own self become magnified!

{21} In reference to the outer court, there is an awesome discovery one may

consider. In Hebrews 9:2-3, we see a different perspective of the tabernacle

that reveals the Father s heart toward a brand new day {The Manifestation

thereof}. Notice below verses 2-3 of Hebrews 9

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein were the candlestick, and

the table, and the Shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the

second veil, the tabernacle, which is called the Holiest of all. Hebrews 9:2-3

By reviewing your earlier notes of the furniture of the tabernacle and their

positions of progression therein, you will notice that the tabernacle is made

into three distinct dimensions. But here, according to Hebrews 9:2-3, there is

no more mention of the outer court. The question is "What ever happened to

the Outer Court?"

And why would the Holy Spirit begin the journey {or newly defined moment

and discover} into the tabernacle with the holy place and the holy of holies?Is

there something deep in the dimension of the Spirit that we have missed? Or,

have we lived so long in the outer court, that the Holy Spirit is revealing

perhaps how we have overstayed our time in adolescence and immaturity?

Why O why does the Lord make no mentioning of the outer court? Your

comments please {Revelation 11:2}

A Perhaps the Holy Spirit is dealing with our immaturity, and the proud

resisting stance of wanting to remain in the outer court as a "I don t want to

grow up, I m a Toy s R Us Kid!" [Psalms 2:1; Ephesians 4:14; 1 Corinthians

14:20}


32/66

B Perhaps the outer court had become the raging heathen of Psalm 2:1, a

people imagining a vain thing. 2 Cor. 10:5

C Perhaps in a metaphorical sense the outer court symbolizes an outerdarkness of weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. A people groping blindly

in the dark Matthew 8:12; 13:42, 50 {That s all there is there ain t no more!}

Revelation 3:17

{22} In the transitioning of the Spirit, you will have to let go of the excess

baggage, and the heavy weights {including oppression} that would weigh you

down.

Hebrews 12:1 confirms this

In my personal estimation, it is disgusting to let people suck the life out of you,

and to drain you dry. It is also a sad commentary for folk to stifle your

progress, all in the name of love.

People such as these do not have your best interest in mind, and you really

shouldn't be too needy, having a need of affirmation all day long and a drive to

get people to validate your significance 24 hours a day. Accountability? YES!

Desperate in the soul/flesh? NO!

Now let s look at some instances of progressive migration into new

frequencies and spheres of grace through transitioning Example, Local

assembly principles

A Your assembly is coming into the apostolic and prophetic dimension, and

your sister ministries don t like the idea at all. The past move now persecutes

the new move.


33/66

B You are moving in the prophetic with the gifts of the Spirit in operation.

Unfortunately the lead elders of the assembly {or assemblies} is politically and

passionately against it.

C You have begun pioneering present truth dimensions of grace and glory

concerning the ascension ministries of Ephesians 4, but the deacon bored had

already put a contract on your head last Sunday.

D You have come to the stunning conclusion that you are going to

reestablish your assembly s statement of faith to read, "No longer merely

"what we believe," but of "WHOM we believe," WHOM we know, Knowing Him

& making HIM known!"

E You have submissively yielded your will over to the Lord concerning

present truth ministry, and will no longer fight to stay alive because of the

allegations that you are a false minister. For it doesn t matter to you what

people are throwing at you, just as long as you are in the accurate plans of

God, and in realignment to His assignment. You are moving with the cloud, not

the crowd.

{23} In the transitioning and Migration into a new order and paradigm, you

must not become bitter through the process of development. For perhaps the

reason why you are in the wilderness so long is because of your attitude.

You see, life, health, wealth, home, family, work, business, ministry, etc., is an

attitude, and your attitude determines your altitude. Worship is an attitude of

the heart, and so is high praise.

Your attitude must become the Beatitude, and your Beatitude will reveal a

blessed attitude. So, recognize assuredly that this is only a test of the

emergency broadcasting system. This is only a test. {Testimony} James 1:2


34/66

{24} In the transition period, remember this, God made the storm with you in

mind. He is not committed to your mere ability, but to your destiny.

Responsibility is "Our response to His ability."

Nothing gets pass the Father. There are no mistakes involved. Though our

plans may change, His plans do not. He knew exactly from the get go what it

took to form and squeeze you, and to bring you into shape.

Whether he used the devil as his instrumental tool of judgment to buffet you

into perfection, or the temperamental boss on the job to apply just the right

amount of pressure on you before you begin to pop, he had your best interest

in mind the whole time. Isaiah 43:1; 46:11; Jeremiah 29:11

{25} The principles of transitioning are not entirely new. Perhaps the various

stages and degrees of your transitioning merits certain depths of deliberation

& careful consideration, but rest assure, there s no need to be frustrated

when the Lord is your rear guard. Romans 8:28

Transitioning, no matter what level of discussion you wish to engage in, is a

vibrantly important part of our personal and corporate development. Askingdom people, we ought to give the earnest heed not to become so deeply

surprised at the process of our purpose and potential.

Yes I know how you may feel sometimes, even the agony of growth from the

babe, the youth, to the man. I can sense what many of you are going through

right now, as you desire to fulfill your purpose and destiny. But beloved, hope

makes not ashamed.

This lesson has been designed to help you to forge ahead to fulfill every

opportunity in life, maximizing your every moments through your God-given

potential, as you become a catalyst for others in pursuit of fulfilling their

destiny.


35/66

Feed the seed & nurture the nature, for you are becoming {through

enlightenment} what you already are.


{5} Process is Not

Punishment

Upon answering the significantly important question in yourpursuit as to what purposefully you are called and given for into amore strategic functionality and positioning to advance thekingdom on earth, there is another depth and meaning to theanswer thereof which is clearly defined or termed as PROCESS.

Process is perhaps one of the most interesting discussions amongmany, and is not to be viewed as a negative principle. Process, asdelicate our understanding can be therein, and by perception as to

what we feel it may mean to us, is not always believed by some asdeemed necessary in every happening and matter.

Truth is, you don't need processing in everything pertaining to life.You don't need to crash up your car to say, "I had to find out whatit was like to be in an accident."You don't need to be processed byplacing your hand on the hot stove to be burned just to say, "Yep,I've been processed by burning my hand just to see how it wouldfeel."

And, you don't need to lower your morals and standards with anunsavory and questionable character or attempt to meet legitimateneeds in an illegitimate way, thus saying, "Been there and donethat! I had to know what it was like!"

No! This is not necessarily process, but presumption and a ratherdistorted and deadly disposition indeed.


36/66

Nevertheless, process, in some form or another will come. But thequestion is "What is process, and for what purpose is itnecessary?"

Process is defined in the general dictionary meaning as "A systemof operations in the production of something. A series of actions, changes,or functions that bring about an end or result. Course or passage of time,ongoing movement and progression "

Another set of definitions would be "To put through the steps of aprescribed procedure. To prepare, treat, or convert by subjecting to somespecial process."

In the meaning of process, we find preparation for presentation,even our lives yielded to the Father through a series andsequences of events for our specific and tailor-made development.

With me, I can recall being stabbed in the left side of my abdomenwith a long rusty dagger in March of 1974 {Baltimore, Maryland}walking home with a hole swelling big as an egg, foaming at thecut of the wound, and internally bleeding - moments away fromphysical death.

Even then, I did not place esteem on the experience by saying this was thecriterion for all emerging apostles. Nor did I conclude after having

technically died in 1975 {at the hospital, the result of intestinal blockages,bowel obstructions, and other complications from the initial stabbing ayear earlier when a nurse said I was okay, gave me food to eat and I hadvomitted, all unauthroized and confirmed by detectives and medicalauthorities - whom we never saw again, and in all honesty, they don't recall

who she ever was...}that this is the exact course of events that musttranspire and take shape in the life of all of those called to or inemrgence into apostleship.No beloved, this is not the specific mandate for all, but it was my

season {ing}, my test {Testimony}, and yes, the glory of anelectrifying {pre-destined} destiny {pre-destiny} ahead.

I had embraced my season, my wilderness, and appointed time, andforged ahead into a glorious unfolding of God's purpose and plan,without complaining. Of the young man that had stabbed me in myabdomen, I invited him to the hospital in 1974 to forgive him, to


37/66

release him, to assure him that he is free to go. In my death {1975}I discovered life, a passion to live, a passionate life, a life full ofpassion. It was more than having a one single passion in life, butagain, a passion for LIFE! {In Him was LIFE, and the life was theLIGHT of men }

Whatever you are purposed for, you are also processed to somedepth or degree, and in God's Divine Design. Everyone has toanswer the staggering realization of the high calling of God fortheir lives - every man his own order according to1st Corinthians15:23.Paul was called to a different order than Peter, as one was apre-ascension apostle {Peter} and the other was a post-ascensionapostle {Paul}.

Some are called to a greater or lesser degree of anointing, a

different and distinct caliber of revelation, and some are on thefront lines while others are called to and from the back side of themountains. Neither is more or less important than the other, butthe dimensions of the Spirit may vary, and yet for a different anddistinct purpose indeed.Still, there is a realm of processing for each order and dimensionof grace the Lord is calling us into.

Further meaning, we will experience to some extent or another, the

buffeting process of maturity and full stature, the chastening of theLord, or the defining processes for our destination, according toHIS divine INTENTION and what God is doing specifically in ourvery lives.

Again each is given a tailor made expression of HIS purpose andplan, and each of us will journey through the delicate course ofaction the Lord would have us to endure, rediscovering the radiantglory of God's eternal purpose in our time, perfecting us inpurpose, and our design for destiny...

Now beloved, take note that process is not punishment!

For many, that's what it appears to be, and that's exactly how theyfeel, punished! However, what you believe is the result of what youthink. If you think wrong you are going to believe wrong. If youthink negative, you will react to negative emotions, and your


38/66

emotions will require corresponding actions to your negativethoughts.

Whatever your dominate thoughts are, that is what you will attractto you...

But keep in mind, the Lord knows your mold, your makeup, andyour frame. He knows exactly what is needed to bring about thecompletion of his purpose in you and me. After all, we are THEcalled, according to HIS purpose, therefore, all things are workingtogether for our good...we love GOD, and are called according toHIS purpose. Believe this...

NOW, there are some important "P's" for our personal progression,and we shall begin to list them in brief...

Predestination:Pre-Destiny {Destiny Born in the Mind of God}This is the pre-fixed and pre-ordained revelation of Godconcerning you and me, what He has said, and what He hasspoken that shall be brought to pass in time. This is thepredetermined counsel of the Lord. In one sense, your calling isnot about you, but HIM. It is according to His good pleasure. For

we began in HIS unlimited glory, a glory that was before time,conceived in the mind of the Lord and sent here in the earth with apurpose. Whomever the Lord predestinated He {1} Called, {2}Justified, {3} and Glorified. Isaiah 55:11: Romans 8:29-30

Presenceof the LordAccording to Exodus 33:14, "My Presence shall go with you, and Iwill give you rest." It is the presence of God that is at work before

we see the manifestation, tangibility, and substance of a thing. Hispresence goes before and with us, even in the awakening of heartsto the remembrance of the Lord, reconciling mankind back to God.

You have the Universal Presence of the Lord {30 fold}, theManifest Presence of the Lord {60 fold}, and the Eternal Presenceof the Lord {100 fold} realm of his glory. As recorded in Genesis

1:2, the revelation of earth came into existence or being as theSpirit of God MOVED

PrayerAccording to Habakkuk 2:1-2, the prophet stood upon his watch orpost to see what the Lord would say unto him, and to answer himwhen he is reproved. Unlike many today, who are self-driven whenit comes to getting their prayers answered, having in mind whatthey intend on doing while asking the Lord to bless their particularendeavor, this was not the case at all concerning Habakkuk.

With Habakkuk, he awaited reproof if needed, and not aloneapproval for something he intended on doing. Simply put, he had

in mind what God wanted for him up front. And without thisprayerful pattern, who and how can we expect to be the effectiveexecutive of a vision, or the reciprocation of God's manifestation?

And, how do we expect others to run that read it if we bypassverse one of this pivotal and important verse of scripture?

Purpose

Purpose primarily is God's counsel, advice, planning, consultation,

and deliberation. With purpose, we consider what his purpose isand not alone what our idea of purpose is. For many often say in

2nd day mentality "Know your purpose."

But to do so, we must go back to what HE had originally purposed,patterned, and positioned us for. That is what I call knowing him,and making him known! Daniel 11:32; Proverbs 15:22; 20:18; Romans8:28; 9:11; Revelation 4:11.

For our purpose really begins with HIS purpose, what we have

been purposely given for in the earth. Our functionality andpromotion {as in - MOTION} in the purposes of God begins with theLord himself. Purpose is centered in Christ according to Ephesians1:18, the hope of HIS calling, and what he is calling forth fromwithin us. It is the Law of circularity, we come from HIM, and wereturn back unto HIM...

Promise

All of the promises of God in Christ are quite simple, they are "Yesand Amen!"2 Corinthians 1:20. According to scripture HE is faithful

that Promised. Every man and woman of God, boy and girl has aPromise of the Lord to be fulfilled in their life, although some sit onthe Premises while not walking out the Promises

One of the key core principles we teach in our Global LeadershipInstitutes is "Responsibility, Our Response to HIS Ability." This way, itkeeps us from attempting to bring to pass something such asSaria before name and nature change to Sarah.

If God promised and we embrace, apprehend, and align ourselvesto HIS according will, then that settles it. In the Words of thePopular hit hip hop single of today..."NOW Walk it Out..."East sidewalk it out, west side walk it out, etc...receive this in propheticperception in Jesus' name!

Potential

Potential is the unrealized and latent expectation within us. It ispotency. Unfortunately, many saints appear impotent, and are notwalking in the quickening and life giving nature of the Potentate of

1st Timothy 6:15 - Romans 4:17 When the Lord speaks into ourprogression, he is also speaking into our potential, even to HISpurpose and plan in you and me - regardless of how we may feel,or think. In this we can move by faith from possibility to certainty,for there lies the potency or potential of His word made alive in us.

So often believers are taught to do everything we can do to assureGod made manifest in us, but in one sense we don t have to provea thing, as again, doing comes out of Being...Be YE, for I AM. It isChrist in us the expectation and anticipation {hope} of glory. It is

God enlarging himself in us, Christ becoming all in all.

ProcessBetween your purpose and your posterity, there is process, a level ordimensional shifting of changes and adjustments to produce his perfect


41/66

workings within us, but again, according to the further dealings andcorrective judgments of God in your life.

In Isaiah 46:11, when the Lord says he "Purposed" it, the word inthe Hebrew here is "Yatsar {yat-saw}", and is defined as "The molding

into form, the squeezing into shape, to be pressed and narrow, as in goingthrough a strait."In all of this it would appear that satan is theculprit, but in truth, it is the Lord at work in the lives of his saints.

Another part of the definition of "purposed" which implies theprocess is "to vex"Can you handle this, that God is not merelyrescuing you and me from every negative particle in our life.Rather, he speaks to HIS purpose and Plan, even HIS plan to bringyou forth in the counsel of HIS own will, according to HIS goodpleasure, according to HIS eternal purpose.

He is not on the warpath to simply exit us out of our harrowingsituation, as Jesus himself said in his highly priestly prayer ofJohn

17"Fa t h e r , Don t take them out of this world, b u t k e e p t h em nt h e h o u r o f t r i a l , n t r i b u l a t i o n , a n d t e s t i n g ."

PMSI call this Personal or Prophetic Mood Swings {or, ProgrammedMind-Sets...

This is the period before the period of process. This is thecrucifixion before Jesus' crucifixion, the Oil Press, the Garden ofGethsemene. This is the place whether or not we shall react orrespond to the further dealings of God for our destiny.

This is the place of the troubling of the soul in John 12:27, whetherwe shall press on to the most holy place {High Priest prevailingthrough the veil of flesh} or return back to the outer court{returning to an old paradigm or day}. For60 {holy place} from 100

{most holy place} leaves 40, a possible test and trial in enteringinto the fullness of destiny, or, the principle of entering intoanother generation. Psalms 24:6{The generation which seeks theLord and His face}.

PMS involves many parallels to biochemical changes in our lives.Moods can alter or effect the way our body is to behave. What wefeel and the actions that proceed are rooted in what we believe.

Our true core values are the basis for powerful momentum,

impetus, progression, and drive. Unfortunately there is also adeceitful value system, one rooted in the treason, fall, anddisobedience of the first Adam. These deceitful values and beliefmechanisms can produce an inordinate drive as well. Note belowthe 4 main deceitful values of the fall in the Garden of Eden

Without your validation of me {all} daily, Idie...

P.I.T.I call this, Prophets, People, or Persons in Training.Like Joseph, he went to the palace from the P.I.T. Like Daniel, theLord can keep one in the lion's den, or like Shadrach, Meshach,and ABednego, the Lord is the fourth man in the fire. And keep in


43/66

mind, in order to have the right kind of friends, you will have theright kind of enemies, too.

Whether friend or fiend, the Lord has prepared a P.I.T. for the

process of promotion. Genesis 37-39: Have you been in the P.I.T.,the prepared place of the Lord? Are you kicking and scratching toget out and to hurry things up? Do you feel like the Lord has letyou down or left you for dead somewhere on the side of the curb?Well he has let you down, right into the middle the P.I.T. or theprepared place of the Lord.

All saints in one form or another will experience the P.I.T., theplace in training, the prophet in training, the people or persons intraining, the place where we are being processed through purpose.

You can t pray it away, or fast it away.

It is the ordained place of the Lord, the place of His choosing. It isthe place where the dealings of God are made sure, and that thepurpose in the trial or test has nothing to do with you or me, perse, but all to do with HIM, who is working all things out after thecounsel of His own will. It is what God wants, his will, his way, hisword, his wisdom, his wheel, at all times

PromotionAccording to Psalms 75:6-7, promotion does not come from theeast, west, or south, but from the Lord {obviously the north -smile}. He is merciful to whom merciful, and gracious to whomgracious. A true test can be summed in primarily two categories,the test ofadversity and the test ofprosperity as confirmed inEcclesiastes 7:14 - Philippians 4:12 - James 1:2-5.

And the Lord is promoting and prospering his servants accordingto his riches and glory - Philippians 4:19 {Note, this scripture here

really is an apostolic blessing, not some fleeting idea of justgetting a blessing in order to say you are blessed. We shall publisha new book entitled "Laying the Wealth and Resources at the Apostles'Feet"}Prosperity


44/66

According to Psalms 118:25, the Lord God is the one that sendsprosperity. Prosperity is defined here as "to push forward, to breakout, and to go over."It comes from another word, which means, "toadvance."

In this I see the true sense of prosperity, not alone to that which isconfined to money. Money is not happiness, although the word forhappiness comes from the idea of what HAPPENS in your life. Andfor some, happiness is a good day, unhappiness a so-called badday for others, for again, thoughts and beliefs produce feelingsand actions, cool or not so cool.

Truthfully, our joy is the strength of the Lord, and joy, is acharacteristic of the kingdom. Romans 14:17: Beloved we joy orrejoice from the inside out! And remember prosperity is a way ofLIFE.

Posterity

Posterity is your future descendants and generations. In this I seeyour son's sons and your daughter's daughters inheriting theblessings and benefits of your obedience to the Lord.

I see your end greater than your beginning, your posterity wellrewarded. For this is the covenantal blessing and transcendenceof the generational inheritance that the Lord has promised hischildren.

Instead of your future becoming a fading whisper with overtonesof disgust and demise, you will live on thorough your generations{Genes, Genesis, Genealogies, Genetics, Genius}, yourdescendants, your posterity. Genesis 28:12-15 the furthercontinuation of you...and HIS pefect working in and through you...

Remember this beloved, your purpose will take on a specific and tailor-made process, and your purpose yields a tremendous posterity. ForAccording to James 5:11, we have heard of the patience of Job, and haveseen the end of the Lord - Alpha and Omega, the 1-800 of God {It's a freecall, so call him up, call him up, and yield to what he wants - Jesus is ourmainline NOW! Smile!}


45/66

Whatever the calling or purpose, there is a level of confrontation towhat you have been called to. There is confirming,contesting, andchallenge to all C {Callings}. If you are called to function deeply inthe supernatural dimension, there will come a challenge to the call.

If you are called to bring order our of chaos, then there is just theright amount of contesting and sometimes controversythat shallcome your way, for the simple purpose of which you are called. Ifyou are called and chosen to function chiefly in the arena ofreformed kingdom economics, diversified wealth and increase, andkingdom finances, guess what?

The challenge is proportionate to the calling of purpose.

You may in the process be challenged with lack as you are givento Confront the things which causes lack. You may be positionedfor possession in your progression things within you, as you bringa power-FUEL change to others who were once encumbered bylack. Like Jospeh, the Lord works the very thing into him whichdelivers his brothers. I wish we had more time with this...

Like Theresa and me, we have been given to bless 100's of

thousands of believers over the years. In ourabasement, we areblessed to make others rich, and have discovered that oursignificant part played the development of global apostolicreformation in many lands unto the praises of HIS glory.

We have no guarantees as to what amount of support should bereciprocated, nor any promissory notes as to what the supportbase shall look like next. We live to give and love to give. Giving isliving and living is giving. It's a joy to give back to thousandsweekly. Freely we receive, freely we give...amen and amen...

Ah, but there is another {P} for the conclusion of our discussions,and that is...PRAISESPRAISES

Praise is the key to any and every breakthrough in your LIFE. YouPraise your way IN, and through, and OUT, Up, Beyond, Below, inall spheres and in all phases of LIFE!


46/66

The book of Psalms is a Praise Book, and especially the lastportion of the book of Psalms word for word... You can sing yourway through any situation and not become situated in the situated.I love to sing daily in all things, and carry a tune and tonethroughout the day. For when you PRAISE Him, you RAISE Him,

amen and amen...

James 2, we count it all JOY {not when the problem is over, andnever focusing on the problem. We count it ALL joy in diverstemptations. This is the KEY... it is in KNOWING THIS, that the trialof our faith works or produces PATIENCE, letting Patience orENDURANCE having its perfect and complete work, so that wewould be perfect and entire wanting or lacking nothing...James 1:2...

Praise works every time. For one of the keys to the UNI-VERSE, -

the universal truth, {smile}, or the ONE thing the Lord has beenspeaking and saying all of the time since the beginning {Genesis1:3, 1:26-28,} is in being "Thankful, Grateful, Loving, Praising,Rejoicing, etc..." We hold in our highest of praises the electrifyingpower that Praise is not only a dimension of warfare, but a way ofLIFE...It is one of the Keys of the Kingdom...

Our attitude determines our altitude. Gratitude is an attitude. Ourattitude becomes the Beatitude or BLESED - Attitude. And LIFEitself is an Attitude...choose ye this day whom you will serve...

In all of your processes, embrace where you are in order to getwhere you are going. Don't wait till the weight gain has fallen off,praise HIM and Raise HIM now for being blessed, bold, andbeautiful NOW, in Jesus name...Appreciate the home you haveeven if it is too small, and rejoice for a greater dimension to comein the glory of His eternal purpose for your LIFE. For when youCOMPLAIN< you REMAIN...

Continue to feed the seed and to nurture the nature, for divine

enlightenment, you are becoming what you already are. Apostolicblessings to you all, and do remember that you are highlyFLAVORED in the Lord!

{6} Positioned forPossession in yourProgression

The present truth community of the kingdom is a people of migration, apeople of forceful {powerful} momentum, divine impetus, and progression,a people of transition and change. These are people flowing out of a wholenew sphere and frequency of the Spirit and is moving into and from the

boldness of a brand new day

Kingdom people are adjusting to new standards and values that are corekingdom based and kingdom minded, not confined to the limited notionthat the kingdom is some far removed entity, some extreme futuristicagenda, or that which is merely earth bounded. John 18:36; Luke 17:20

Kingdom people are global in their vision and perception, global in thesense that they embrace the universal dimension of God in his plans andpurpose for all mankind {Isaiah 14:26-27; 48:10-11}, and not just for a smallsector of the world. In this, it keeps us from becoming prejudice {pre-

judge}, you know, like Peter the apostle, who for a time, had a rather limitedperception toward the kingdom by view of his given grace to reach theethnic culture and cluster of his time.

For Acts 10 confirms his personal open heavens and the expansionthereof, although it is important to know that God does have strategicapostles to minister to specific clusters of people, so long as we don'tdespise the Lord's doing in all others, too. Here, Peter moved into anupward spiral of heavnly floodgates, from being bound TO earth and boundFROM heaven to becoming loosed FROM the pull of earth and Loosed INTOthe heavenlies.

Continuing on, Kingdom people {Daniel 2:44; 7:13, 18, 22, 27} perceive theever increasing kingdom {Isaiah 9:7}, that the kingdom is the stabilizinginfluence of the Spirit {Hebrews 12:26-27; Isaiah 33:6}, and that thekingdoms of this world are become {it's in the becoming} the kingdom ofour Lord and of HIS Christ {Christ the body, the multiplied or corporateChrist, the many membered son}. Revelation 11:15...


48/66

Kingdom people do not foster ideals of the kingdom being legislated orrelegated to some certain sector of the world, which has become the basisof popular Christian movies and massive money making best sellers, aswell as the futility of predicting the end through current world events.

Kingdom people do not adhere to the chaotic thinking of the self-styled andself-appointed experts of prophecy, the industry of fear which promotesthe doom, gloom, boom, and the quick zoom of the church, as oppose t
