PURIFY THE SOUL

Have the same mindset as Christ Jesus… as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross… to the glory of the Father (Phil 2:4-11).

Picture with me (if you will) a more holy walk beyond salvation. Beyond sanctification. Picture His Bride walking through His fire to be purified wholly and fully for this is the level (i.e. purification) we are speaking about in this HITTING THE BULL’S EYE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS series. Recall that the offerings by fire listed in Jeremiah 33:18 are:

[1] Offer Burnt Offerings

[2] Burn Grain Offerings

[3] Prepare Sacrifices Continually

Our last HITTING THE BULL’S EYE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS post spoke about the reality of the Bride’s Baptism of Fire in His Outer Court, which is symbolized by bringing BURNT OFFERINGS to His Brazen Altar. (Please refer to http://wp.me/p2k1dQ-kn). This is the first of three crucifixion steps in the Bride’s Baptism of Fire where only the All-Consuming Fire knows its duration. Recall that it’s the Great Shepherd of our souls who chooses what part of ourselves that He would like brought to His Altar, so it can be burnt up in its entirety. You will bring the sacrifice – parts of yourself. HE will bring the fire.

The Bridal Journey from His Outer Courts to His Inner Courts is a painfully beautiful process. All three of the fiery stages of crucifixion (offerings by fire) are for the purpose of a person decreasing, so He may increase. It is a journey not for the faint-of-heart. It takes a whole-hearted commitment. It takes choosing His ways over your own until there is a total death of self. In a Bridal Candidate’s quest for purification, she must endure the greatest level of the testing of one’s faith. The hottest flame of His love is reserved for His Fire Bride where His coals of fire are indeed His coals of love (Song of Songs 8:6).

Please realize that the purification work within Bridal Candidates is not linear. The process of fully manifesting and  becoming the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus here on earth is a work that resembles a Fibonacci spiral. Think of a nautilus shell, and the ever tightening spirals that eventually becomes one with its center. Consider that the recurring tests or trials in your life does not necessarily mean that you are backsliding, but you are possibly coming back to your issues so you can go deeper and deeper into the very heart of God. (Please don’t assume anything and check this by His Spirit.) Sometimes things may even appear worse, because if you notice the spirals get tighter and tighter, as the goal of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus gets nearer and nearer. We will go deeper and deeper into the heart of a matter until the impure vibrations of that issue has been purified within you. Keep this concept in mind as we discuss the various crucifixion steps in the Bride’s Baptism of Fire.

The second quantum leap in the crucifixion steps for the Bride’s Baptism of Fire is portrayed through the burning of the grain or meal offerings in Jeremiah 33:18. “Never lack a man before Me to burn grain offerings” speaks of one’s life being measured according to the plumb line of God’s Word.

This is the place where the fiery eyes of Yeshua Ha Machiach (Jesus Christ) search our souls. As we press into letting His Word sift us, we are transformed by the renewing of our minds and we prove the Father’s acceptable will through our lives (Romans 12:2). Any mixture within us will be sifted out in this place.

Of all the voluntary offerings, only someone who brings a meal or grain offering is described as a “soul.” Traditionally, grain has been a staple of the human diet and represents our very existence, just as a SOUL speaks of one’s very life’s breath. Therefore, the burning of grain offerings proclaims that one’s life is in God’s hand and His fire refines as He chooses.

The goal of the “burn grain offerings” step is for Yeshua (i.e., Jesus)  — the True Bread of Heaven – manifesting fully in a person’s soul through the supernatural enablement of the seven-fold Spirits of God (Isaiah 11:1-2). When a Bridal Candidate’s faithfulness is being tested at this level of purification, His eyes are His seven spirits portrayed as seven lamps of fire burning before the throne (Zechariah 3:9; 4:10; Revelation 4:5; 5:6).

The eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro throughout the whole earth – your earth and mine – is the substance that comes out of heaven – manna – that humbles and tests us, so we can know:

[1] what’s in our hearts (Deut. 8:2,5; Heb. 4:12).

[2] if we are walking in His ways (Exod. 16:4; Gal. 5:16-24).

[3] that man does not live by bread alone, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord (Deut. 8:3-4; Matt. 4:4; Luke 4:4).

[4] that we are true sons that He disciplines (Deut. 8:5-6; Heb. 12:10-11).

The central tenants of MANNA in John chapter 6 speak about:

• It is the Father who gives the True Bread of Heaven (John 6:32).
• Christ in us the hope of glory gives life to the world (John 6:33).
• Like Yeshua, we are to do the perfect will of the Father who sends us (John 6:38-39,57).
• His people shall be taught of God (John 6:45).
• If anyone eats this bread, he shall live forever (John 6:51, 58).
• Those who eat true food (His flesh) and drink true drink (His blood) abides in Yeshua (John 6:55-56).

May His MANNA manifest in and through our lives. Everyone made in God’s image has been designed to vertically climb greater heights, so the Bread of Life can manifest through us, and we can be also be walking-talking realities of the Word made flesh. YOU ARE A LIVING WORD – BREAD FROM HEAVEN – SENT FROM HIS MOUTH THAT WILL NOT RETURN TO HIM VOID.

Stay tuned, because the next installment in this series will explain a Bridal Candidate’s Grain Offering Test in more detail. Give em heaven!!!

HOLY PRIESTHOOD OFFERING SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES

For such a time as this, the Master of the Wedding Banquet is revealing what the Bride of the Messiah (Christ) needs to do in order to be ready. Hidden within the bowels of Scripture are the instructions for God’s Holy Priesthood on how to make spiritual sacrifices, which will culminate in them becoming a glorious part of His Pure & Spotless Bride.

“Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stone, are being built up a spiritual house, A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, TO OFFER UP SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST” (1 Peter 2:4-5 NKJV).

Before we go into the three progressive crucifixion steps for the Bride’s Baptism of Fire, we need to understand the concept of “spiritual sacrifices” according to the Messiah’s instruction. Please be patient as we lay some foundations, so His Crucified Ones can literally see how to hit the Father’s bull’s eye of righteousness.

Some Christians believe that the instructions of Moses on the priests, the altar, and the sacrificial system are not true for us today. That’s not what Yeshua (Jesus) said: “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” (John 5:46-47 NKJV). Yeshua has also told us that: “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17 NKJV). That word “fulfill” means to fill it full of meaning. Will we do things exactly as the Levitical priests did in their day? No, but God’s Holy Priesthood will apply those Biblical principles and ask the Spirit of the Living God how we can fill them full of meaning in our day. BTW – We will not be going into what Judaism or Christianity has taught. We will only stick to the things that Yeshua tells us if you believe these things, then you will believe Me.

The Levitical Sacrificial Service were actually audio-visual aids to explain certain profound, basic principles on how we relate to God, how we are to live with one another, and how to be reconciled with one another. Within the instructions of the priests, the altar, and the sacrificial system are the basic of our faith. Without these ancient foundations, the cross of Christ means nothing.

The very beginning of the Levitical Sacrificial System starts with the first word in the Book of Leviticus – “vyihkra.” The Hebrew letter “alef” in this word is made small, and if one dissects this word Hebraically, a person understands: If you are going to be called of the Lord, your strength must be made small, so His strength may be made large in your life. Any person called of the Lord will share this testimony. Recall that John the Baptist (who was a Levite) gave this exact testimony in being a forerunner of the Messiah: “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30 NKJV). In a sense, John the Baptist was saying I must go away (disappear), so He can come forward (appear).

The following are five reasons Yeshua of Nazareth gives on why we need to have sacrifices, and why we still have a priestly sacrificial system:

[1] TABLE FELLOWSHIP – God’s Altar was the place where sacrifices were burnt in His Temple. It was considered to be the Lord’s Table. The hospitality of the Lord is basically the hospitality of your homes. When someone is coming over, they ask their host: “What can I bring to join you at your table?” Then the host will specify what’s appropriate to bring. The Altar is the place where God said, I will meet with a man and we will do business together. Even the business world makes agreements over a good meal. God has set standards, protocols, and manners that will be done at His Table. It’s that simple. If you want to come near to God and approach His Table, simply ask because it’s open to whomsoever will. LOVE will whole-heartedly welcome you, and He will specify something you can bring to the table to join Him (Luke 22:29-30; 24:30; 1 Cor. 10:21).

[2] RESTORATION OF FELLOWSHIP – God’s Altar is for the restoration of fellowship, because sin separates us from God. These are instructions on how to turn your direction in order to come more near to the Lord. It is here that the Messiah instructs us: “If you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift” (Matt. 5:23-24 NKJV).

[3] WORSHIP OF GOD – The adoration of God Almighty is illustrated by every sacrifice, which had to be lifted up so they could be elevated unto the Altar. When we come to the Lord, we lift up our hands when we bring any gift or sacrifice to the Lord. These gifts and sacrifices don’t earn God’s love. They are simply reflections of your loving, respectful, obedient heart. What do people do at sporting events when a great play is made? They cheer. Raise their voice and their hands. They show exuberance, excitement and respect (John 4:23-24; 1 Tim. 2:8).

[4] REDEMPTIVE WORK OF THE MESSIAH – The whole principle of sacrifice teaches the substitution and ultimate work of the Messiah on the cross. Because of God’s Altar, we know that something of value can take the place of another and be found acceptable as a just conclusion. The entire concept of “giving” is first based on God’s sacrificial system in Scripture. Your sacrifice must come from your domestic herd. It has to cost you. It has to come from you. Remember, I mentioned that a sacrifice is really representative of you offering yourself? The first lesson on “giving” in the Word of God embodies the Father gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16).

[5] ESTABLISHMENT OF FEASTS – All the feasts prescribed by the Lord Himself were based on certain gifts brought to God’s Altar. If you believe in celebrating the Lord the way He originally prescribed, they started off from the instructions given to the priests. BTW – You may want to consider that Scripture says His “Word stand forever” (Isa. 40:8), and God Himself says, “these are My feasts” (Lev. 23:2). In 2 Chronicles 8:13, the primitive root for the yearly feasts that are His set appointments is the Hebrew word “ya-ad.” This primitive root implies that during God’s set appointments with His people, the Lord is summoning His people to meet Him at His Table at His stated time. It also tells us during His Biblical feasts that LOVE is directing us into a certain position, so He will be able to engage us for marriage (i.e., be betroth).
