Going Beyond The Familiar

Some believe that the old ways are the best ways. They hold that the teachings of our forefathers are the key to living a good Christian life. Yet, despite what all that those who have gone before us did, they never reached the perfection of the saints. Though individuals accomplished valiant acts of faith, the Body of Christ never became like Christ. Yet Paul says,

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”

1John 3:2

Have you received the Tabernacle Blessing since you believed?

As an apostle of Tabernacles, I see things that others don’t because it is my calling to help bring forth the revelation of this baptism of love. The Tabernacle blessing is a separate and distinct experience resulting from “oneness with God”. The manifestation of this oneness is Divine Love. In this day and age, I do this through the internet, because this way God directly reaches out to those who are searching for Him.

What my writings reflect is an emerging truth of the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles in our generation. This is not a new theology but a continuing revelation of God’s Divine Love started in the book of Acts. We know whereof we speak, because we have both seen, heard, and touched what His Spirit is saying to us.

Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore

Frankly, what is familiar to the natural man, both in and out of church, is failing. What we need is to go beyond the familiar, further into His Spirit than we’ve ever been before. The truth is, if we fail to embrace heavenly intimacy, we are likely to accept the false love of the Antichrist.

What is familiar to us isn’t anywhere near where God is at the moment. Many have lost sight of the pillar of fire and lay dying in the desert of this world. Without the presence of YHWH, nothing here can sustain us. What God used to do, if He isn’t there anymore, is merely an empty relic.

Moving beyond the familiar

Spiritual Connections are beyond the familiar. Moving into the Tabernacle Blessing is, by its very nature. a revelation of why God made us. Gaining His perspective, we comprehend the vital part we play in His grand design. It’s like making love for the first time, nothing prepares you for the real thing.

The fact is, Divine Love is not even of this world, but literally an earnest, or down payment, of the new creation. Therefore, if you are natural minded, you have no way to taste of the powers of the world to come.

Spiritual things are spiritually discerned (known) through God revealing them to us. People who hold on to what was, refusing to accept what is, will perish in what shortly will be. This heavens and earth have an expiration date, and anyone still here when that day comes, burns up with it.

One body, one flesh

The Body of Christ, those who know holy consummation, are moving beyond the familiar with each other too. Oneness with God extends into oneness with each other. We are one body of believers, fitly joined together by His love. Therefore, there is no separation between the saints who attend the marriage supper of the Lamb. The only difference between us is our function within his body.

There is a “one flesh” phenomena that happens as we unite with Christ. We cease to think of ourselves as being separate. Just as newlyweds touch each other with unconscious freedom, we lose our inhibitions with our spiritual connections because we are one with them.

We are all part of His body

This is why, when God poured out His Spirit on the first century church, they had all things in common. No one cared about personal possessions anymore because of the oneness they felt towards each other. When we eat, we don’t worry which hand reaches for our food, because both are part of our body. Likewise, Tabernacle Christians don’t care what the other has because everything belongs to Christ’s body.

Therefore, each is given according to their need and everyone is happy. We feel at rest when all parts of our body are taken care of. On the other hand we notice immediately when they are not. The world calls this communism, but Marx’s philosophy doesn’t work because people, without God, are inherently selfish. Having all things in common is only feasible if God’s love replaces our carnal nature. When we love as God loves, helping each other becomes second nature. During the early church, Love feasts sprung up automatically because everyone naturally cared for their own (Christ’s) body.

Prepare to give it all away

So too, in our day, the manifestation of God’s love is beyond familiar. Therefore, we allow God to do whatever He wants, whenever He wants to do it, with whomever He wants.
