Principle of spiritual authority

 and governmental warfare

by Isaiah-Phillips Akintola

Part 4

DEALING WITH THE GENERAL OVERVIEW OF

THE PRESENT NATURE OF ENGAGEMENT IN WARFARE.

Hebrews 11 32-38

32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.

35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again.

There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning; e they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.

This highlighted scripture above defines the spiritual framework and character posture the ecclesia must assume as a kingdom priestly regents Heaven is empowering and releasing in this season of engaging the ongoing, complex issues and challenges the nation’s and creation is faced with under the insidious influence of the activity of Jezebel.

Divine upgrade

it is important to note that there’s a current, general update and upgrading of our spiritual base and the apostolic resources at our disposal in order to be effectively and efficiently prepared to  engage; this is to prevent us from being trapped by the same religious web of division and extremism that entangled many in the past who tried representing the purposes of God from a very shallow, narrow, and myopic perspective.

What is Gods agenda for the earth in this new day?

The Father’s agenda is to fill the earth {people} with the knowledge of his glory through a company of priesthood, emerging with the ascended revelatory reality of the son, but functions from an ascended, eternal realm of representation, the pattern of our ministry priesthood must change from the obsolete first and second day reality of representation; we must come into the ascended ministry lifestyle of Melchizedek.

Functioning within the framework authority and power of this priesthood is highly important if we must effectively move and function within the current Satanic activity challenging our position and identity in Christ.

The remnant of individuals who will live and function within the framework of the ongoing complex, false order off the earth must have shift from the house of Saul to the present, restored {house} tabernacle of David, and that is because only David carries the ascended insight of the authority of the kingdom to face and behead the giant, evil system challenging us today.

Beyond this, these company of men and woman will carry and operate in the iconic spirit of the patriarchs. Each of the Patriarchs represent a dimension of grace, wisdom, strategy, and capacity that must function in the power of corporate unity in dislodging the spirit of Darkness before us.

 These are days where Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Esther, Ruth, Elizabeth, Mary, and the rest are all being awaken within the hearts of the saints, emerging in their various respectable position in defeating the spirit of humanist, Satanic activity distorting the prophetic mandate of God for creation.

There’s no doubt that the Spirit of the Lord is forcefully leading the Body of Christ to a new position of more advanced, governmental engagement which requires we shift from our old position towards a more accurate, matured reality of the prophetic requirement of the Spirit for the season.

The nature of spiritual resistance and opposition we are faced with today, demands the finest of the Spirit of wisdom and faith. There’s a need we redefine and update our prophetic insight in order to be strategically repositioned with maximum, sustained capacity to advance.

The mandate of entering to repossess our lost spiritual space and heritage as legitimate, custodians of the earth has become an assignment that cannot be neglected nor defer to the future, yet, we have to advance with caution due to the kind of subtle but powerful enemy we are contending with.

The prophetic objective of rebuilding and restoring the architectural structure of the burnt gates and broken walls of lives, families, institutions, and the society at large, will certainly demand we move towards a more advanced, prophetic engagement towards all illegitimate spirits and entities at the gates.

Maintaining a biblically sound and balanced spiritual [perspective] neutrality in responding and representing the eternal agenda of the kingdom of God within a sharply, racially charged, and divided society is highly critical, if we are to truly manifest the spirit of redemption, healing and restoration to creation, and ultimately, reign with Christ in his millennial kingdom Age.

We cannot afford to be found biased, religious, and denominational in our prophetic philosophy and perspective as we advance in this season. Every form of charismatic, blind spot and misconceptions regarding the ascended, operational pattern and direction of the kingdom and its initiatives in this season must be thoroughly examined and addressed before we step out again in divine representation.

The position of our utilization of kingdom authority and power in warfare should be strictly built on the apostolic template of Christ nature and character which must not be compromised by any form of religious assumption, humanist beliefs, or some form of an overt, nationalistic, prejudicial attitudes.

This is the day of the operation of the kingdom values and principle, meaning, we have to test whatever we’ve been taught to believe in our various church community within the principles of the kingdom so we are not found to be misrepresenting Christ out there in the name of our own traditional, charismatic Church believes or expectations.

The standard is, if any man be in Christ and not in a church, such a person is a new creation, behold, old [ways, patterns, culture, ideologies, and philosophy] things have passed away, observe, all things have become new. The operational position of those in Christ is a spiritual value and posture of an ever-increasing newness. Newness should reflect the position of advanced spiritual development, perception, interaction, and engagement with all humans and creation regardless of how hateful or bitter they may be to us.

When Joshua met the captain of the Lord of host standing, he asked him if he was for them or against them, the captain of the Lord of the host said, am neither for both sides. This is an important truth and attitude we need to understand and embrace in a day where polarization has become the order of political engagement.

Religious bias and other forms of humanist prejudice will not only blind our insight from seeing the intention and direction of the Lord in this hour, but will in fact, cripple our ability and capacity to effectively engage in the arts of advance prophetic initiatives, even as we are called to charge in warfare against the spirit of Jezebel and the high places of our communities, cities and generation.

Laying this foundational narrative is crucial, because many are still divided behind some charismatic, religious ideological differences, fueled on racial grounds, depending on which side of the fence they find themselves. To develop a biblically sound world view in dealing with the socio-cultural and economic divides is to allow the Spirit of the Lord to first strip us of our presumptive ideas and knowledge, gathered under the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

 Secondly, is to allow the Father to enlighten and broaden our spiritual standpoint regarding the current political or socioeconomic realities of our time, which I usually term as a position of prophetic spectrum.

As we know, when a ray of light passes through a fraction prism, what we experience is a spectrum of colors. This truth is the same when considering the idea of allowing the light of God’s truth to pass through and permeate our spiritman, what happens is, we effectively see and identify the various, glorious, unique beauty and identity of the Father for each person, family, community, nation, continent, and of course, this generation as a whole.

PROPHETIC PRISM AND THE POSITION OF ELIJAH

To understand and effectively Administrate the justice system of the kingdom of God on earth, which is totally different in view and value from the humanist and religious viewpoint, is to be ready to prophetically represent the priestly, governmental authority of the kingdom of God according to Isaiah chapter 11.

A prophetic student will be keenly aware that one of the manifest Spirit of the last days and before the final coming of Christ is the spirit of Elijah, and we are told that this spirit, or, the posture of life if you will, carries the authority of reformation and restoration in the earth. We’ve seen the progressive released of this spirit in a dimension, right from the days of John the Baptist and throughout church history. Today, we are witnessing a greater outpour and the release of this spirit as we confront one of the deadliest, Satanic assault, unleashed upon this generation.

The restorative, prophetic capacity of the spirit and ministry of Elijah in this season is a clear sign of the accelerated nature of kingdom activity that is currently taking place across the earth. The emergence of the spirit of Elijah amongst other apostolic governmental grace being restored to the ecclesia is a high watermark in the call to the arena of divine representation, even as the day of the Lord becomes more eminent.

The kingdom of God is suffering violence, and the violence we must be ready to take by divine enforcement of kingdom truth. We shall further consider the relevant position and influence of the spirit of Elijah as we track the position of divine confrontation.

THE NATURE OF THE ENEMIE’S ATTACK

Therefore, in the context of this apostolic framework, our war gear of readiness and engagement must totally reflect what we see in Isaiah 11. Elijah which is a type of the Carmel skin we should wear in this season must be dressed in these qualities of spirit of Christ described as the full armor of God according to Ephesians chapter 6. Having brought this into perspective, we then need to begin to understand the nature of the common enemy of the kingdom we are assigned and dressed to deal with as a type of a Davidic generation, assigned to watch our father’s sheep.

Our position as watchmen requires that we are truly positioned with the capacity to watch the Lord’s sheep which is way beyond the walls of our local churches and families. We must be prepared to watch and guard the sheep against the humanist and religious lions and bears of our time. The spirits and assigned wicked systems out there now charging against the vulnerability and identity of the sheep of the Father out there must be protected across the nations.

THE VARIOUS FACES AND OBJECTIVE OF SATANIC ATTACK

Unmasking these lions and bears are a critical aspect of the current prophetic upgrade, so we can effectively channel our Strategic attack. There are several types of enemies with their unique focus of attack against the children of Israel as we see in the scripture. Each character manifested by the enemy reflects a specific objective of result in the mission to destroy the redemptive mandate of God for his people and the nations.

A significant number of the enemy’s attacks on the people of God are carried out through their own acts of rebellion and disobedience, and in some cases, their ignorance to the values and demand of the Lord as they are being led to their Promised Land.  It is critical we take time to study and carefully examine the various character, focus, methods, and objectives the enemy applies in launching its assault against the children of Israel.

This is important in unveiling the systematic idea of attack against the current Church and society in general. When the enemy, through a particular nation like the Philistine launches an attack, and decides to produce a key figure like the giant, Goliath of Gath, behind such an attack is an objective which is more stronger than the very confrontation itself which is to send a message to the nation of Israel and the next generation, and this message is fear and intimidation.

Fear was a powerful, effective weapon the Philistine and the Midianites used in trying to cripple the entire army of Israel from fighting until a young teenager who had conquered the spirit of fear, through the abiding presence of the Father in his life charged against Goliath.

We noticed the same concept of engagement about Giedion when he was called to lead his people to fight the Midianites and see to the freedom of the economic siege the Midianites waged against his people.  [Judges 6]

You’ll notice that the moment little David killed Goliath, the entire army of the Philistine fled, and the army of Israel that was once crippled by fear suddenly got bold and courageous as they chase after the army of the Philistine and defeated them. This is a powerful, strategic concept of tactical warfare playing out in our own very eyes today.

The enemy is using fear and intimidation against the Church, and many churches and its leadership have gone hiding. The spirit of Jezebel and the Midianites has pushed many into some holes and cave to hide; we’ve lost our voices on issues that truly matter. We are afraid to speak out against things we know we should not defend.

There’s but one enemy in the kingdom of darkness and we all know his name, but this enemy wear different faces; manifest different characters, expresses itself through various philosophical beliefs and uses different methods of attacks depending on what he desires to achieve in the battle.

The launch and objective of an attack, using culture or religion, seeks to creates a different objective and impact from the launch of attack, using slavery, racism, sexual perversion, and it certainly different from an attack that comes through poverty, sickness, or even some other forms of freedom and liberty, without a true sense of respect, responsibility or accountability to mention a few.

The enemy is a Strategist, master planner in launching his attack on humans, and where there’s no clear, prophetic, governmental oversight, societies, which includes, the church, becomes highly vulnerable and victims of such attack unfortunately.  As we understand this natural phenomenon, we Begin to gain keen insight into the nature of spiritual warfare, and the various methods the powers of darkness employ in attacking the church’s position and identity as the nation of God in the earth.

This understanding I’ve tried to lay down as a foundational framework of what we are trying to track through this message gives us the context of why I’ll like us to carefully examine the spirit of Jezebel as one of the most advance, Satanic, method of attacks in this season of kingdom warfare.

LIFE-IN-THE-JOURNEY2.png

 

 

PRAYERS BY ISAIAH-PHILLIPS AKINTOLA

Father, we give you thanks for your eternal love that you have eternally given to us as a seal of your eternal covenant with us your people. We, as your tribe in the earth, today has come again to renew the covenant of eternal memorial in this place; in this place you have ordained for your name to be hallowed in righteousness, peace, and joy in your Holy Spirit. This place, in your son that you have given to every summoned traveler to find rest and peace, even in you has become the place of the return and rest from the weariness of the journey. Yes, we have come individually and corporately as members of your household to again find your voice and strength as we get renewed and reformed in the reality of your eternal desire.

This day is our day of rest since we have stepped out of the sixth day of man. We have entered the boundary line of the seventh day order in you, and our lines have fallen in pleasant places and we have a godly heritage. We have come to find rest in you and with you in the journey of entering your realm of eternal knowledge and fullness. Indeed, you came to give us life and the life in fullness, our desire is to experience and share the full reality of your life, so we may glow in the fullness of your light without any form of shadow.

 

Father of light, we rest in your covenant of truth as we behold and embrace the sight of the promised Land before us. We are the seal and symbol of your covenant of salt in the earth. We season every sphere and regions of the earth with the illuminating light of your eternal prophetic truth; we are the covenant of sault in our families and communities. We do recognize our place and responsibility as the salt of the earth and the light of the world, and that is the reason why we have returned to this place to be renewed and refreshed in the revelation of your ever-increasing light, so we may not remain weak and dimmed like Eli.

 

We leave behind the shadows of insecurity, doubt, fear, disappointments and discouragement. We take up our cross and follow your footsteps according to your unique plans for us. We break the strongholds of past hurts and pain that has almost blind and crippled us from journeying unto that eternal height in you. We embrace your identity for us; we bind our spirit, soul, and body to your staying healing power and authority, even as we loosen the chains of darkness over our necks, arms, and feet in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

 

We cast down thoughts, imagination, and every false declaration that have exalted itself above your prophetic intention and destiny for us. We once again declare that the bondage of Egypt, still lingering within our minds and thoughts, faculties is shattered as we see your light on the truth of your name.

We proclaim upon us that we are not the children of the bondwoman, we are born of Sarah, our mother who is from above. Yes father, all that comes from above is above all earthly influence and dominance. We are from above, because we are born of you, and so we declare in the name of your Son, that the chains of Egypt, Babylon, and the new Age spirt is shattered in our minds and thought patterns. We declare the total liberation of our soul’s faculties, even as we renew and retain the knowledge of our eternal identity in Christ.  

 

We renew the vow of your grace and eternal truth has we celebrate the memorial of Passover and Pentecost in the knowledge of the feast of the revelation of the tabernacle alive within our spirit and corporate communities. We today seek to enter a renewed sense of rest even as we individually and corporately battle the giants and Goliaths of our households and communities.

 

We know that you are for us and not against us, we therefore allow you to show us the pathway of eternal victory in your name. We let go of the old religious patterns and strategies of operation we have learnt. We have come to a perfected day in your kingdom culture, where all things are seen and done from an ascended reality of truth. We receive the present, current blueprints and direction in our victory in warfare.

We remind ourselves that your plans and purposes for us are plans of good and not evil, so the floodgates of evil may rise against us, but will surely not prevail against us. We are confident that your promised presence will continue to fight for us as we hold our peace in you. We are confident of your promise to always grant us the victory.

Yes, father of light, we have victory in the name of your Son Jesus Christ, our strength and shield. We shall not be moved for Christ rod and staff will comfort us as he prepares a table of heavenly meal for us in the presence of our enemies. We eat this day for strength and courage, and not for pleasure even as we journey further into new frontiers of light and darkness.

 

 Father, we are your children, called by your name. Grant to us the heart and desire to continue to remember that each of us represent a place and a purpose in your eternal prophetic objectives for each other. Help us to love you deeper, help us to love ourselves truly, but most of all, enable us to love your Body and the world you sent us to without fear of rejection. Grant us new sight to see your light and truth in the lives of our members; yes, your body is our member, and we all belong to that member. Help us to know each of our roles, and function in that role as we assist our brothers and sisters’ function in their assigned places.

 

Father of light, we have come to the place of circumcision, the place of memorial, the place where the two edge-sword of your word cuts and divine the motives and intent of the heart. We ask you today, even as we enter this new junction in our journey to remove from within us everything that does not glorify your name in the earth.

 

Our desire is to truly and effectively represent your life and nature. Our desire is that men may see you in all we say and do. Remove lies from our lips. Give us a single eye; grant us the lips of the ready writer. Help us to speak words of hope, faith, and courage to the tired and discourage on the journey. Father in the name of your son, we acknowledge our lack of participation in the active knowledge and relationship with the Holy Spirit you sent to lead and guide us into all truth.

 

Precious Spirit of truth, we repent and turn from this ignorant position we have falsely accepted. We openly acknowledge that we can do nothing without your leading and assistance, so, in this renewed season, we declare that we will learn to trust and wait for your voice to lead us even into all truth. We know that there are deeper realms and realities you eagerly desire to show us in the matters of the kingdom. How foolish and shortsighted we are to assume that what we intellectually and religiously know about your ways and the kingdom of God will give us the right of passage into the realities of the dominion kingdom lifestyle.

 

We repent and turn to you; lead us, guide us, show us the ancient pathway. Bring us into the ascended dimensions of your prophetic intention for this season. We offer our entire lives, family, and intentions  to you. May your kingdom come; may your will be done in us. Make us instruments of your peace where there’s war and hatred even within your household. Help us to hear the cry of the nation’s seeking saviors and deliverance from the bondage of the fall. We are your sons, called by your name. In this place of covenant renewal, we receive re-newness of life. May our sight be recalibrated to see what you see.

 

May our vision be strengthened again. May we see with clarity the country afar, grant us strength like father Abraham to walk the length and breadth of the land you’ve given to us to possess in this place of rest. Give us the strength of the patriarch Enoch, to journey with you until we are no more, show us the building technology of Noah to construct your eternal intent for our family, city, and generation. Give us the heart of integrity like David to lead a people to the place of your rest. Father of light, our help comes from you, we look up to you to provide and direct our pathway as you make us instrument and channels of blessing to the needy, help us to tenderly but swiftly respond without delay to the cry of the nations.

 

We are yours, all that we have, all that we have, and hope to become belongs to you, so we totally surrender our lives to you again. As we journey into the next sphere in this transition, grant us the memory to always remember your promise word that says, you will never leave us nor forsake us. Our faith is anchored on your eternal love, promise, and hope. Thank you, father of light, for in your light we see light to journey on.

THE REDEPLOYMENT OF KINGDOM GOVERNMENTAL GATEKEEPERS

gatekeepers

A prophetic word for the church and its watchmen

 By  Isaiah-Phillips Akintola

 

 

Isaiah 60

8“Who are these that fly along like clouds, like doves to their nests?

9 Surely the islands look to me; in the lead are the ships of Tarshish, a bringing your children from afar, with their silver and gold, to the honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor

 

My holy one have flown the sky like clouds that have refused to give its rain in its due season. Like the dove to their nest, the clouds of yesterday’s obsolete victory have covered and hid my gatekeepers and watchmen within the nest of their memories of war.

They are hidden away; the gatekeepers have been hidden away for a while now. They have been hidden from the view of men who took for granted the covering of my grace and shield; even from men within my own household, and the nations who are desperately seeking for leadership direction and counsel of peace in times of war.

The gatekeepers are governmental kingmakers in the earth whom the father ordained to be peace-brokers over the seen and the unseen realms of the universe. However, this is not their doing to be quite in the season when it seems their voice is desperately sought for in leadership direction. For it was I, the Lord who seized their voice from speaking.

Yes, the unheard voice and authority of my watchmen and portals was my own doing to reveal the deep corruption taking place within the sanctuary of my people. The unspoken voice and less seen activity of true passionate intercession for a while now is a revelation of how the hearts of my people have turned away from me, and to reveal the degree of how my people have turned to familiar spirit and divination.

 I, the Lord called for dryness; a drought in the land when the hearts of my people grew fat and lukewarm over the former gains and provision of my outpouring rain. I called for a famine of my word and true revelation of my speakings when the house of Israel, my church, refused to no longer acknowledge my presence and glory. I brought the wisdom of my portals and watchmen to obsolesce; and the glory of my gatekeepers to a place of redundancy and mockery.

Since no one sought the way to Zion, but allowed the pathway to Shiloh overgrew with wild grass and beast with no one to control them, so I caused my people to depend on what their hands have built and created that their folly and emptiness may be exposed for all to judge.

My people prayed and interceded for their own gain, pleasure, and desire; they’ve mastered the act of using my gift and grace to build a name for themselves. My leaders contest the heart of my people with me; they thrived in the game of falsehood and the emptiness of self-glory. They deceive the innocent and turned the hearts of the Nazarenes to drink wine. My people have lost the passion and hunger for my ways, truth and life desire. Their gain of yesterday’s prayers and intercession have now become the monument of shame and blindness, hindering the very development and maturity of my people; for they say, see what our hands have gained in the place of ‘our prophetic insight and prayers.

While they seem to be spiritually active, yet, their so-called activity is a deep reflection of their, emptiness, fear and insecurity with one another. Their gathering in what they call prayers and intercession brought death in place of life to the camp. Their feast and breaking of bread brought more division and sickness rather than healing and edification to my body.  Their prayers and intercession became a strange fire before me, for I was grieved, and therefore, judged them that they may not be eternally condemned.

My gatekeepers became weary and tired of the perversion within my house.; they therefore became weak and voiceless at their post until they slept off like in days of Lot at the gate of Sodom and Gomorrah.

As my gatekeepers became even more weary and overwhelmed by the arrows of the enemy, so in my goodness and mercy, I called them off their post to myself that they may regain the revelation of my love and that of my Son.  Now, I am reawakening and upgrading the spirit of my GATEKEEPERS as I get ready to redeploy them back to my church across cities and nations of the world. I have been at work within the hearts of my own watchmen as I withdrew them for a season to rest and unlearn the ways of human effort even in the place of self-will prayers and intercession.

I have drained them of the wisdom and strength of religion, traditions of men and the sensuality of an unhealed emotion even in their prayer closet. I have been teaching them about how to perfectly view from a vantage position of a wall once broken, but now restored even with a higher elevation like the LADDER OF JACOB that could CONNECT to TWO realms and realities AT THE SAME TIME. 

Many, even within my household have ignorantly written off my gatekeepers and portals as men and women who have lost their place, strength, wisdom and vision into the divine activity of heaven for earth. No, I called them into myself to strip them of their old wineskin which no longer carry the currency and propensity of my present governmental mandate.

The prayers and intercession that was coming from the stream of these weak and tired guards, made my church even weaker and more soulish in their expectation, therefore, I shutdown their interaction and engagement in the heavenlies that Satan my not continue to take undue advantage of my warriors of righteousness.

It’s been a period of dryness and refreshing at the same time as I allowed the season of healing and restoration to pass over them for the regroving of the spirit of my vessels of war.  I have at this moment, set a new platform of interaction, intercession, and interception in spiritual activity over regions and spheres that will ultimately establish the true foundation and pillars of righteousness, peace and joy in replacement of the weak system of humanism and false religion.

 Now, I am ready to release this new guards of men and women who indeed understand not just the times and season, but are true leaders in their own rights to give leadership through wisdom for the marching forward of my church as the submit to one another in mutual love and respect for their calling and assignment.

These watchers of the night and the days of men are becoming seasoned doorways of a fresh release of my speakings and zeal, as they through the Spirit of supplication and intercession infuses into my church, the grace and desire to passionately imprint upon the hearts of my saints the will to establish my kingdom agenda in the earth.

I will continually embolden these gatekeepers with courage who are my portals of truth and the custodian of the revelation of the outpouring of my Spirit and prophetic agenda for this season of the end. I will reinforce their forehead with the identity of my [nature and authority] name as I did with Ezekiel and the rest of my prophetic servants who stood against the mouths of lions in their time. These ones will not be weary nor get tired; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not faint, for my presence will be their covering and canopy.

If you care to know, the eyesight of these company of men has been upgraded with a greater, advanced prophetic vision and inclination to see afar and know that which is yet to enter the thoughts and the hearts of men and the prince of the air. These gatekeepers are now being deployed across the spheres of life with governmental authority to bring the decree of the father to bear over creation.

They are deployed to announce the appointment of fresh governing authority at the gates of all entry points of divine transaction within communities and inner cities. The stirring of the spirit of supplication is now awakening new governmental intercessors who are stirring the heart and passion of the father to see his eternal, kingdom desire become a forceful reality across the body of Christ and within the nations.

Prisoners of hope across the lands are currently emerging with a refreshed sense of destiny, courage and determination for the restoration of the broken walls and burnt gates of nations. The Spirit of the Lord is stirring the Nehemiah’s of this generation as apostolic watchmen and prophetic gatekeepers are taking their rightful place again. The combination of the priestly heavenly watchers and earthly elders are now fast tracking the agenda of the kingdom for this hour.

Here are they who have given themselves no rest until the house of Zion becomes a true eternal habitation for ELOHIM. The order has changed in the heavens regarding the activities of the father for his church and creation, and so men position in the earth must now precisely align themselves to the current, prophetic oracles of the father. There is now a glorious flying out of a truly empowered and renewed company of men and women like eagles, known as portals and gatekeepers of Christ across the airspace of our corporate gatherings and family communities.   

There’s now an advanced deployment of well-seasoned, governmental prophetic voice, who are collaborators with highly skilled and creative apostolic blacksmith engineers, with the finest of the spirit of humility, honor, and well matured, wisdom eldership posture, seated at the entrance gates of cities and regions of continents.

 

The prophetic engagement and collaboration between heavenly initiative and activity beneath the waters of the earth as we saw in genesis is accelerating a divine reformation and restoration of highly matured, tested sons of the kingdom out of the four-head-streams of the RIVERS OF EDEN. Look, here they come, flying with healing on their wings for the redemption and restoration of creation.

Can you hear the flapping of their wings? Can you hear the sound of their trumpet blasting across the clouds of the heavens over men? Listen to the voice of their singing like the sound of many waters flowing from the ALTAR before the father’s presence. See the robs of their humility shining with the brilliancy of the presence of the father as they go forth announcing the speaking and comings of the LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.

The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ… the portals have been repositioned. The gatekeepers are taking their place again. The watchmen are now watching with a washed, elevated, governmental sight to see afar and prepare the church and the nations for the days of his glorious appearance. It is a new day, members of the household of faith; this is the third day church. A new identity of the gatekeeper’s ministry has been redeployed with an advanced governmental authority to push the prophetic further the initiative of kingdom harvest to the ultimate end. Heaven is recruiting new portals, gatekeepers and watchmen, won’t you avail yourself to this glorious calling?

This is the voice of one under the hospices of Portalsgate resource.

Shalom!

Preparing the ecclesia to step into 2015

Seasons and Gods prophetic activation

By Isaiah-Phillips Akintola

2015, engaging the four horns over the nations with the Spirit of the craftsmen, awakening the Spirit of the blacksmith

Various seasons of the Spirit carries different but unique architectural designed plan, ordained to further establish the unfolding restored intent of God’s truth, such that a generation is better prepared and ready to step into the next dimension of prophetic administration of heavens agenda.

There are certain words in the Spirit that are prophetically due for both manifestation and administration in various dimensions of human realm. These words will not come to view until a generation by the deliberate leading of the Spirit is precisely born and awakened to the spirit and life of the words.

Coming into what heavens desire to do in a generation require more than just an understanding of a sudden prophetic word. There has to be a state of divine intent and readiness to move from the known acceptable pattern of thinking and behavior to the next location of heavens speakings.

The manifestation of prophetic words describes the culmination of various spiritual seasons of sacrifice, prayers, intense intercession and a sense of death to the old. Stepping into 2015 is far beyond entering a new calendar year.

As spiritual being, our lives are not designed nor limited or bound to humanistic time chronology. Every dimension of our being is a reflection of Gods spoken word manifesting in their due seasons. Gabriel is today searching for a company within the church known to be virgins.

This company of people who have refused to defile themselves by the charlatan religious system of the day are being visited  across the globe with greetings of favor- blessed are you among women.

The subject of seasons is one that is very close to the heart beat of the Lord for several clear reasons. One primary reason is the fact that he uses season to determine our level of growth, commitment and faithfulness to his purposes.

  He sets seasons in place to reveal his eternal plan in time. Life is generally designed to function through the laws of season. These laws or principles are all perfectly interconnected to keep us healthy, functional, productive and unified with his prophetic agenda.

When God gave life to man, he did not compartment it as society today will have us belief. God gave us one very good life, which he expect us to adequately manage and be productive in terms of knowing what to do at various point of our development and relationships. Life can be very rewarding if we understand and precisely apply the principles that governs it.

Managing our life, meaning everything within the circle of our world, requires that we correctly understand the purpose of life and the reason why we are here in the now. Due to the ignorance of the essence of life, many have suffered defeat and are still being buffeted by the enemy.

One of the factors that help in the effective management of life is the ability to understand the meaning and purpose of each season of life. Migrating from one season into the next is a spiritually learned act.

You cannot assume or blindly walk into a season unprepared. Man will continue to repeat the same mistake year in year out if he refuses to learn to correct his past in the now.

 One of the beauties of having sound biblical foundation is that it helps us discern the importance of times and season in regards to development and maturity.  There is absolutely little or nothing one can achieve without the ability to know or read a change in season.

As we have seasons that guides our natural physical life, so we have well established spiritual laws that guides and regulates spiritual season.

A manifested Season can be defined as that period in time where humans come into an active awareness of Heavens designed intent for their generation.

The collaboration of dimensions of times and ( cairos) season, awakened by a spark of truth within the heart turns ordinary humans to become burdened and responsive to the voice of the Spirit such that their very lives becomes the portal by which heaven penetrates the earth of men.

If there is a true genuine desire and a passionate hunger to deeply search, know, understand, and apply heavens prescribed pattern for sound growth and development into Christ, we will certainly accelerate into the next position of maturity.

This understanding of process further enhances our opportunity and advantage for a perfected manhood, which further DEEPENS our spiritual and psychological reformation that enhances our redemptive relationship and capacity to accurately image and restores Christ to every dysfunctional sector of life.

Faith by nature is a powerful movement towards the preferred position of the Spirit. Detaching from what we have learned and experience from our previous walk with God can be highly challenging if our orientation does not change drastically

Faith by nature is a powerful movement towards the preferred position of the Spirit. Detaching from what we have learned and experience from our previous walk with God can be highly challenging if our orientation does not change drastically

Faith, the living seed of spiritual substance

1Now faith is [the] substantiating£ of things hoped for, [the] conviction of things not seen. 2For in [the power of] this the elders have obtained testimony. 3By faith we apprehend that the worlds were framed by [the] word of God, so that that which is seen should not take its origin from things which appear.

We have already established the fact that nobody can truly know or please God without the activation or coming alive of the seed of faith. Why? Faith is that living seed or spiritual substance if you will, that quickens to life the dead spirit of men into reality, or what can be call the knowability of his creator. All humans carry within them the seed of God’s faith even though they may be ignorant of it due to their fallen status.

This is one of the reasons why the Lord through the nature and life of the second man, the last Adam had to go through the process of birth, death, burial, resurrection and ascension to awaken the slumbering spirit of creation back to Gods consciousness. Having said this, faith does more than just to weaken our dead spirit. It carries the substance to effectively take us through the school of development and perfect of our spirit-man to the point that it can confidently arrive at the point of full stature in Christ. {Ephe 4}

The Lord is bringing his people into the realm of that which is yet to be seen or apprehended from past knowledge or experience of faith. The evidence of what Jude calls the common {corporate} faith is becoming a true reality in our day. This concept of faith is anchored on the spirit of a hope, locked in the future of the salvation that is about to be revealed in Christ. It is to this intent that God imprisoned creation in the hope that when the ecclesia start to come into the revelational understanding of her prophetic objective as an agent to facilitate the redemption of creation from bondage that this faith will become more active.

It is a known fact that hope lives in the future realm, and faith bridges that gap between what is seen to the unseen reality. Paul further tells us that faith has become the evidence or proves that what you hope is a living reality in Christ. Now, when you read scriptures like this, it’s so easy to slide back into the old concept of interpretation, which obviously limit the spirit of your mind from fully grasping what the Lord intends to show you in his progressive truth. Let’s examine an ageless truth from God’s current speaking.

 The misconception of faith in the past charismatic move of the 80s

Between early 80s, and late 90s, the charismatic Pentecostal movement enjoyed a season of  refreshing, ordained to prepare the (heart) ground for Gods apostolic agenda in regards to that which was about to be unleashed upon nations in the coming decade.  Few Believer’s in that period neither comprehended nor gave heed to the prophetic purpose and direction of was about to be released. What was released was confined to a merely blessing, which it was, but they never saw the bigger picture of what the Lord wanted to achieve through the blessing.

Up until that time, the organized church system had been in a state of spiritual drought and famine even though the Lord had been moving mightily among his called out people. Many have spent countless seasons praying and interceding for a fresh outpouring of the Spirit of God to change the spiritual landscape of the church and the nations. A visitation of the spirit, as they call it back then was desperately needed, especially when one considered the backdrop of events during those dark periods across the continents.

Most parts of Africa at that time where just gaining their independence From the imperialist nations, even though people back then tends to be content with the little they had, yet poverty was on the increase; a campaign for a more progressive social freedom was on the increase amongst young adults back then in America.

Many in Europe were also searching for some meaning to their lives especially after going through so much destabilization and economic recession. While the moral of many nations where down, Many where seeking the face of the Lord to do something new.

The outpouring of the Spirit could not have come at a better time, yet, very few understood the intention of the lord regarding this release. The ignorance displayed by the front line leaders was just the right opportunity the enemy needed to distract, derail and manipulate the leaders from precisely administrating this great season of refreshing from the Lord.

The release of the charismatic spirit and giftens was ordained to usher the Church into a season of divine training and readiness in pressing unto the reality of the kingdom behind the veil. However, the unbridled and undisciplined life of many in the church allowed the flesh to hijack the  move until that which was intended to bring hope and a renewed sense of faith became repulsive to the Father. The gifts and what it could reproduce had almost replaced the purpose and heart of God, the giver.

 The blessing also brought judgment

The embracing of the charismatic word of faith move of no doubt, Established many in the area of getting to know the benefits of salvation. It also boasted the faith of many to exercise their priestly authority in areas of healing, miracle, gift of prophesy and financial prosperity to mention a few.

This season of bliss however, came with so much excesses and imbalance understanding of Gods plan due to the lack of a clear knowledge of the Fathers prophetic Agenda for that season and the coming future.

While it was God’s plan to bless, heal and prosper his people, they however, missed the whole purpose and objective of the blessing or release of the Spirit to the point that this misrepresentation of purpose became the very object that brought the church to the place of disgrace and disrepute.   While many spiritual leader back then stepped into what can be term as power gifts, and where able to build very lofty structures due to the financial gain that flowed into the church. Many, however, missed the mark to the point that a lot of Christian leaders in America back then where indicted by state official for financial malpractice.

How can what was legitimately given by God bring so much shame and misrepresentation to the name of the Lord. Well, the answer carries many faces. Suffice to say, the issue of zeal without knowledge, the lack of accountability and the issue of an circumcised and consecrated heart played a major role. For my people perish for lack of the knowledge of Divine plan and direction. Every time we allow ignorance to becloud our judgment of the sacred things of the Spirit, we often find ourselves misrepresenting Gods purpose.

It is said that when there is no clear insight Regarding the Fathers prophetic program, abuse and misrepresentation becomes the result.  We are highlighting this issue because we about to step into another season of a great release that will further take us higher in the reality of Christ prophetic agenda in the earth, and we cannot afford to make the same mistake made in the past.

 Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God

The present speaking of God as we have established is releasing a new sense of faith to hear Gods voice precisely from a higher position of the Spirit. If faith does come by hearing and hearing by the word of God, we should then precisely ask ourselves what is the component and quality of the word we are hearing today because that is what will eventually determine the direction and emphasis of our faith understanding.

The next question we should be asking is, are we listening or feeding on that word with the same old paradigm of processing the word of the Lord, because if we do, our faith then becomes benchmarked by the dramatic fire or the wild-wind experience like prophet Elijah had at the backside of the wilderness while the Lord was waiting for him in that still small voice.

Are we responding to the voice of God by running back to Eli, a priesthood that has lost legitimacy and the illuminating light of the speaking of God? Moving into the current atmosphere of Speaking of God of no doubt releases the ‘now faith’ needed to develop, advance and please the Father.  Faith is forever proceeding from the throne of the father into the hearts of those who have steadfastly inclined their ears to listen to the now proclamation and declaration of the Spirit.

Faith by nature is a powerful movement towards the preferred position of the Spirit. Detaching from what we have learned and experience from our previous walk with God can be highly challenging if our orientation does not change drastically. We need to constantly remind ourselves and the company we belong that faith was never given so that we could merely have things or build a name for ourselves or ministry.

Faith was given to help us walk with him so that one day we may arrive into his fullness.  If you sincerely desire to see your faith grow and develop, start by feeding your spiritman with quality materials that challenges your current state of spirituality. When i say prophetic, I am referring to the dispensing or the administration of all of the purposes of the Fathers desire and intent for the precise manifestation of his kingdom through your life.

 Faith is the forerunner of the speaking of Heaven. There is so much heaven is declaring regarding the divine counsel of the Father but there is little faith within the hearts of the people of God to truly believe and accept. From personal experience I discovered that most of what is being declared today, especially in the reformation move are truly sounding nice, idealistic and in most cases highly technical to the hearings of believers. Why?  Their faith is still anchored on past experience and position of the truth. They need to allow their faith to die to old position experienced at Bethel, and be awakened in the newness of the revelation knowledge of (the God of Bethel) El-Bethel.

 The Spirit of the Lord is calling a remnant of people to a new day of elevated understanding of truth that has been misunderstood and therefore misinterpreted in the past. To proceed further, we have to change out old wineskin; a new sense of light must dawn on every facet of our spiritual understanding. The scale of our inner blindness must fall off for you and me to see what the Lord is showing us in the now faith.

 Growing in understanding

In our developmental stage, we were taught that ‘thing’ we hope for are related to material or emotional needs. While this may carry some iota of truth, it does not however fully reflect the full revelational meaning of this scripture. The word ‘things’ we hope for relates to divine materials or components that defines the building blocks of our spiritual (life) substance. 1Corinthians chapter 2. Paul extensively spoke about the things of the Spirit here. I will encourage you to spend time in both studying and meditating on the verse because it will certainly shed light on what I am trying to communicate by the Spirit.

There are things in In Christ waiting for us to Apprehend and appropriate in other to fully reflect the new life or nature of our ascended image and identity.  Therefore, as we step into the border of the days of the coming of the Son of man, we need to upgrade our definition of faith, love and hope.  If you have been journeying in this season of restored truth, you will agree with me that the Lord is correcting understanding and perceptions so as to get us in the right spiritual frame of mind. In fact, one of the major emphasis been amplified is that the quality of your life in trust and obedience to Gods will defines a great deal the quality standard of your faith.

Therefore, the more spiritually mature you become the more your faith gets redefined, upgraded and transformed into a higher divine lifestyle. In other words, as the divine life within the seed of faith grows and developing in your spirit, the more you become transcend in your earthly existence as you begin to reflect the image and likeness of God which we have established that it is not a figure as it where, but a quality of life in the Spirit.

This concept of faith we are coming into will enable us to fully represent and manifest the very life and glory of Christ here on earth just has Jesus Christ represented the life and desire of his Father while on earth. There is a faith we are being baptized into that will cause every son of God to stand and proclaim the bidding of the Lord across Hostile territories and regions without fear of death. This, shared faith, powered by the authority of the ever-increasing kingdom will enable us to bring the work of the Lord to bear across the nations.

A reexamining of your motive, exiting false expectation

When one considers the concept or philosophy of many Christian regarding God or the things of the Spirit you immediately realize that something is fundamentally wrong with their ideology. The idea of a God been there to merely bless and service the needs of his people is totally out of order and unbiblical. Indeed, God as a Father is obligated to fulfill his responsibility of provider and a protector. However, the moment the idea of your Christianity is reduced to a religion that seek to be merely blessed, enlightened and bring good fortune to you as a follower, you have then given the enemy an opportunity to corrupt the purpose of your faith.

 I strongly believe that this is the time people need to be properly taught what true faith is all about so nobody continues to nurse a false expectation about why they should follow the Lord.

In the name of evangelizing the society, many people unfortunately have brought into the wrong message or emphasis regarding the whole purpose of becoming a Christian or serving God. Whatever your idea is about why you need to know the Lord or serve Him can only be reveal to you when your idea or the idea someone puts in your mind comes to a complete death.

There should be any for conflict about the reason why you are a Christian than to totally yield your entire life to him and allow his ordained desired plan for your life to come forth. If you are in the Christian service as a mean to escape poverty, lack, sickness, death or even going to hell; I am afraid, you will have to reconsider your motive because those reason are not authentic enough for following the Lord.

And if your reason is even to have some form of supernatural means or power to help others resolve their problem, unfortunately, your reason is still not founded on the true foundation, All these reasons are what the enemy is looking for in people to corrupt and pervert the intention of the Lord within lives and across the society. While the reasons may sound good or reasonable, they however, those not reflect the accurate footing of a follower of the Lord.

What is your definition of faith?

The word of God abundantly made it clear why we should follow the Lord and what is the genuine reward given to those who hid the call to come after the Lord. More about this idea of the motive of serving the Lord in the Spirit of true faith can be followed in our article on discipleship. I strongly felt I should point out at this point; going back to the issue of redefining our faith. I am not sure what your definition is, but one thing is clear, if our definition or understanding of faith those not tally with comprehensive biblical concept, we are going to soon run into trouble.

Therefore, considering the whole concept and reason for faith I think is a reasonable thing to do more especially, considering the nature of the days we live in where Christians globally are been targeted and killed for their faith. More than ever before, Christians today are likely to be killed for believing in Christ than any other generation.  If we are been guided by clear prophetic direction, we should be ready to face this reality.

This statement is not intended to trigger doubt or fear but to bring us back to the true definition of what is known as biblical apostolic faith. We can no longer live in the state of presuming or assuming regarding one of the most important reasons of our spiritual existence. How many people have been to some church worship centers in Nigeria, Kenya, Sudan or some other regions where hardcore Islamic jihadist have been allowed to lunch attacks, and innocent people have been killed in their hundreds.

My point here is not the fact that people were killed, but how solid is the authenticity of the faith of those who were killed built on the revelation of Christ.  Some may immediately argue that after all they died in the Church therefore they have a one way ticket to heaven.  That indeed maybe right, but my point is, where their faith built and founded on the solid foundation of the reality of Christ, or where they just merely following a man who promised them divine intervention from poverty and financial difficulties. How many today are afraid to go to their worship center, and how many church leaders today are investing millions into securing themselves and church property as if this is the lasting solution.

While precaution must be taken, they however, need to realize that this war is not flesh and blood.  Right from the inception of the church, believers and followers of the Lamb have been killed and murdered. The difference back then is that the faith of the brethren was solidly built on the uncompromising integrity of the revelational knowledge of Christ. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same of how we view or practice faith today. Faith is defined and understood from the harmony of scripture as a core spiritual component that enhances the spiritual movement of a believer from one reality of God to the next. For he that must come to God must believe that he is, and a rewarder of them who diligently seek him.

Hebrews chapter 11:1 tells us what faith is while verse 6 defines to us what faith does. Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.  Both the definition and perception of our understanding regarding the Father, The unfolding of his kingdom and purpose for the Ecclesia in the earth defines to a large degree the quality of your faith.

We cannot separate the quality of faith from the correctness of sound biblical perception and lifestyle.  In other words, the more broad and holistic your understanding becomes regarding the current prophetic demand and direction of the Lord in this season, the more you become perfected in reality of an ascended faith. Faith is defined as the substance of what is hoped for and the very evidence of things not seen. This is one of the most profound statements in the entire scripture in that it captures the very life or essence of true spirituality.

The Journey into the unity of the faith

 The word of God is filled with various unique emphasis and expression regarding the purpose and nature of faith. The epistles highlight to us the unique insight, wisdom and revelational understanding expressed through the apostles shared understanding of kingdom centered faith.  These various dimensions or classes of faith if you will, is something we need to put into relevant context as the Lord brings us into a new season that requires the church to truly function within the concept of what Paul defines as the unity of the Faith.

You will notice in that chapter 4 of Ephesians that Paul did not talk about faith unity but about the unity of the faith. The word, ‘THE’ stands to define and qualify the idea of what he was trying to convey into the spirit of the Church. The statement ‘the faith’ seem to suggest that he was not referring to a faith individuals possessed in engaging the throne of a God over a need, petition or request. The faith is dealing with something that transcends the idea of religious carnal materialistic paradigm. The faith is the confluence of heavens ultimate intend for the ecclesia. It is the place where we become the manifestation of the prayer of our Lord according to John chapter 17.

Having explained this concept, let us however proceed further by saying that we cannot step fully into this season of the unity of ‘the faith’ without walking in the light of the revelation of what is known as the unity of the Spirit. The unity of the Spirit is the premise by which we can correctly and effectively walk in the unity of the faith.  Unity or uniting in the Spirit goes way beyond verbal agreement. it is not about merely agreeing as torching something or an idea. it goes way beyond what defines us a members of the same community or denomination. It is not something we can fathom with our carnal religious frame of thinking.

 The unity of the Spirit is first and foremost uniting with the Spirit of the Son of God. meaning that your life is in total sync with the eternal agenda of heaven. it is that which defines the mystery of the Godhead and operation of their function in perfect oneness. It is the convergence of the sevenfold Spirit of the Lord, walking in perfect symphony to bring to bear heavens desire for creation.

The unity of the Spirit is the foundation by which the Church was birthed on the day of Pentecost, and it remains the key to the perfection of the Church of the last day. Unity of the Spirit is allowing the will of God to be planted within your spirit, and allowing it to be effectively carried out through your behavioral lifestyle within the Ecclesia. It is in this context of understanding that we as individuals can allow the very life of Christ to cause us to love and submit in the Spirit of Gods eternal plan for the ecclesia such that we are able to see pass the weakness or imperfection of the brethren.

 This spirit of unity further defines to us the protocol of divine relationship and kingdom government. The moment we grasp the reason for the existence of the community in the Spirit of unity, we are able to love, respect and submit to each other grace and gifts without friction. Schism and divisions becomes a thing of the past within such body.  From this point on, we are then taking into knowing the role our individual faith plays in the perfecting of the corporate body and the advancement of the prophetic agenda of the Father. it is on this revelational footing you and I are correctly establish and are expected to function.

A picture of the Spirit of Unity

The prophetic image the word of God paints in regards to the life and ministry of the cherubim in the book of Ezekiel and Revelation clearly and accurately defines what the unity of the Spirit is; four living being with four unique character and ministry, yet, functioning in perfect ones is a clear picture of what the Lord is impressing into our hearts of his ecclesia. Anyone who has a passion for the perfecting of the Saints and has come across these scriptures must have pondered and wondered regarding the mystery behind this awesome perfection. Yet, this is a shadow of how the Church will someday function before Christ returns. Therefore, let’s start practicing how to live and function in this community life of faith by submitting and honoring one another.

 There was a faith that united the 120 in the birthplace of the church in the upper-room on the day of Pentecost, and there is a Faith presently being release that is (maturing) unifying the church in the spirit of perfected Sonship. This faith is what will ultimately drive the manifestation of the release of the Spirit of God within his body. The Father said he will pour out his Spirit upon all flesh, and we are in the midst of the prophetic fulfillment in a greater measure.

The outpouring of this spirit that has be coming through the seasons of refreshing to the church will ultimately make available the fullness of the life and nature of Gods character which is the manifestation of his seven fold spirit of truth for every member of his Body to precisely reflect and represent the true meaning of the ecclesia. it is this faith that will eventually breakdown the walls of division and every form of religious stronghold and denominational spirit within the hearts of Gods people.

When you carefully study the word you notice the various use and emphasis of the term faith, which in my opinion was deliberately ordained to gradually lead followers of Christ from one reality of life to the next. The scriptures talked about moving from faith to faith. The nature of faith is transitional; meaning that is carries within its operational life the ability to transport and transform our spiritual experience from one reality to the next. The various position of the church in transition requires deferent concept of learning and exposure in terms of moving unto that perfect day of his appearance.

The journey into God is experienced through the various chapters of faith experience we are introduced to. One position of faith helped our spiritual muscles to develop to move into the next realm. Yet, we have entered into a new day in the transition where what used to work in our former position of spiritual dealings and experience will no longer suffice because the Lord is bringing us into a different new and a higher position in him.

The corporate faith is primarily designed to mature us is forever seeking to lead us into a new spiritual experience where we are able to identify Christ from a new realm. Those who talked, walked and even lived with Christ from one position of faith could not recognize or identify him from a different position. Our pre-resurrection knowledge and experience of Christ becomes obsolete in his post resurrection life. Think about, Christ own very disciples could not recognize him even after taking them through the scriptures. What an understanding we need to come into in this new day of the Lord.

In my experience, balancing this understanding or trying to convey this reality to those who are still babes or have just refused to grow in the things of the Spirit can be highly challenging.  Having said this, I will like you to understand that the church of the Lord is in the midst of a mighty move that is redefining our faith experience at all levels. Like I said earlier, each of the apostles seems to be specialized on a particular concept or branch of faith the Lord will have them inject to his body for the maturing of the saints.

While Paul brought to view what faith itself is made of, Peter, on the other hand, systematically takes us through the process of how the virtue of faith can bring deliverance, salvation and perfection to our once corrupt soul. Abraham showed us how we can kick start faith by completely trusting in the promise of God. Jude talked about faith as the life given source of the community of Gods people. All of these aspects of faith are complete in Christ Jesus, if we truly press unto knowing and pleasing Him.  There will constantly be an addition of the dimensions of faith which will eventually bring us into perfection.

Ascending in the knowledge of Faith

The completion or perfection of the body of Christ requires the various impute of the ascended ministry grace of faith. The insight Paul had regarding faith and other concepts of the Spirit was needed to build a dimension of Christ life within the body so as to bring nourishment to each lacking part. It is highly important that I emphasize that each member of the Body of Christ is expose to a dimension or measure of faith that to some degree has defined their philosophy of understanding the things of the Spirit.

The objective of this kind of faith experience is to create a level of spiritual experience and culture that can benefit the individual as member of the Body of Christ. However, it must be said that it will take another orientation of an ascended truth to shift such emphasis from an individual bases to a more corporate standpoint to be able to function within the sphere of the unity of the faith.

When you study the operational mode of the church, one sees that on an individual level, the church seem to be doing fairly but on a corporate level, we have failed almost completely. Why? The emphasis of the faith being preach or taught does not promote the culture of a unified corporate faith. Most members of the body of Christ do not understand the reason why the Church is required to live and function as a community of faith people without borders.

Insecurity has led Pastors and church leaders to systematically build up walls of segregation and separation which has caused huge division across the Body. The kind of atmosphere that eclipses most churches today does not make room for God nor his will to flow. When church members read the word, their interpretation is based on how their leaders see the word. This is a true picture of what the scripture refers to when it says ‘up until now when the people read the scriptures, they are reading Moses.

When we build a philosophy of ownership around the things of God or the people we are assigned to equip for God ministry, we have then become instrument of division.   The veil that has becloud the minds of the people must be remove for the Spirit of unity and the common faith to freely function within the lives of the people. The power of the church which is built on community is strongly under attack for various reasons. Suspicion, pride, unforgiveness and competitive spirit has almost crippled the movement of the people of God.

We must start teaching and growing in the knowledge of the common shared faith if we desire to see the fullness of God Spirit release to this generation. The early Church understood the life and power of this shared faith and the result was that they had all things in common and were able to bring judgment to any issue that arises before them. It is in this context of shared common faith that they were able to finish their assignment without wavering.

The scriptures say if two or three shall agree regarding anything, it shall be done in heaven. The bases of this agreement are built on the power of the shared faith of the community. The power and authority of the community is far greater than the authority or influence of any individual. One shall put to flight a thousand but two shall put to flight ten thousand. That is a huge increase of power just by adding one to one. The Lord is doing something in our day through the spirit of the unity of faith that not only give us power to advance, but will completely change the image of his people in the earth.

These dealings or experience of faith will become as it where, the common language of our heavenly identity and approval as members of the community of God ascend to the mount of Gods pleasure. This is the point where we become perfected in the testimony of our walk with the Holy Spirit, thus binding and unifying our hearts together as members of the same spiritual Farther. This understanding of personal concept of the development of faith however does not erode or negate the corporate community life that is designed to establish each part of the member of the Body of Christ in their advancement towards what the scripture refers to as the perfect man. {Eph 4}

Therefore, generalization of the things of the Spirit, which includes faith under the stewardship of the second day reformation movement of the Church has made things a bit difficult, in terms of trying to now adjust the focus of the brethren from a personalized ‘bless me concept of faith interpretation’ to a more broader knowledge and application of we can term as the corporate kingdom centered faith.

You will be surprise regarding what you still need to learn about faith 

I have been richly blessed by the Lords mercy to have been plunged into a period of sabbatical rest from the activity of religion and unproductive faith exercise, and this period has truly afforded me a lifetime opportunity to revisit and review some of the things I thought I knew and had been established on. Indeed, how wrong I was.  Many believers, including Church leaders have this notion that for the fact that their prayer request was answered meant that the Lord approved their state of being.

This concept is far from biblical the truth. When we take time to study the word of God we see many are times how the Lord allowed his blessing to rest upon something or someone that does not necessarily reflect his direct approval. This comes with different reasons especially when the Lord seeks to protect his name and integrity among his people. Ishmael was blessed by the Lord even though he was eventually rejected on the standard of divine approval. The church in the wilderness was provided for yet, the Lord was not happy with them. in fact, the scripture records that they all perish in the wilderness because of their disobedience and rebellion.

The defining factor of our approval before the Lord is not based on how much our faith is able to achieve or produce in terms of things, but rather, on how far we have come in the reality of obedience and complete trust to Gods voice, ways and dealings at each new season of our migration.  In my season of waiting and spiritual renewal I learned that things are not usually how they look on the surface. Time is always the definer into a dipper reality of the Fathers requirement and approval.

When we hastily rush into concluding that what we know is the right thing, we forfeit the lesson the Spirit of the Lord desire to teach us in the place of waiting. We know in part, therefore, we prophesy in part, when that which is in parts is done away with, and then come the full reality hallelujah! To know some part of the things the lord is saying or doing is not a sin, but to live and remain on that part can be catastrophic to one’s entire spiritual structure and development.

I guess the removal of that which we know in part is what the Lord is currently dealing with across his Body because he desires to bring every one of us into the fullness of his ways and life. For he has come to give us his life in fullness so that we in return can be true dispensers of his light to a generation eclipsed in gross darkness.

The Lord of recent have been speaking extensively regarding the whole issue of living In the spirit of an ascended life, and one of things that is prominent in this emphasis  is the issue of developing a new sense of what Could be define as an ascended faith. To adequately understand the whole concept of ascended faith we need to first all come to terms with the idea of an ascended life.

The ascended life is the epic call of the Spirit in this hour to bring every cell of our DNA INTO FULL ALIGNMENT WITH THE LIFE AND NATURE OF CHRIST. In other words, the ascended life is awakening into the full life and purpose of our existence before the fall in the Garden. It is moving from one dimension of glory of Christ to the next as we cover the earth of our lives with the knowledge of that glory.

Therefore, the ascended faith is a living seed, an operating system if you will, within the life of the Spirit of truth, designed to nurture, enhance, encourage, develop and keep us Mobil in our journey of reaching the assigned end of kingdom centered faith which is the salvation of your soul. for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your soul.

What Enoch is still saying today regarding faith?

There are several (truths) things the apprehended ones are stepping into that will require a reorientation of the ways of faith and moves of Spirit for proper and accurate grasping? This is the day of perfection (maturity) of all things including how we have understood and perceived faith.

 The reality of the days ahead demands that we learn not only to redeem the time for accelerated maturity, but to also resolve within our spirit-man not to be shaken by the threatening of the forces of darkness charging against us. In our previous messages and writings we have to somewhat extensively consider the reasons why living by bible prescribed concept of Faith is important to the whole reality spiritual lifestyle.

 The mystery the Father deposited within Enoch in terms of the nature of faith and other concepts of living a spirit-led life, in my opinion is yet to be maximized or exhausted.  Enoch can be said to be the portal of faith even before Abraham stepped into the tittle of been called the father of faith.

The word of God reveals to us THAT BY FAITH, Enoch walked with God. Now, that to me is the whole essence of the mystery of kingdom centered faith; learning to walk with God. In my opinion, Abraham learned from Enoch such that his understanding of the mystery of faith becomes more comprehensive and matured to the point that he earned the title, the father of faith.

 The release or what some will prefer to call the outpouring of the Spirit of the Lord in this new day requires a more developed and matured knowledge of the word of God which ultimately releases the seed of faith into our inner man. To try to step into understanding both the coming and the speaking’s of the Lord with old unrefined charismatic definition of faith will be absolutely impossible and counterproductive.  What the Lord is doing within his body today demand a revisiting again of all the basic foundations and pillars of our spiritual structure, which faith happens to be one of them.

Some lesson to learn from Boston bombing

Our heart and deepest prayer goes out to the city of Boston, and the entire nation of America as they morn the tragic killing of innocent lives and hundreds wounded in this last terrorist attack.

However, as prophetic people, what are the lessons that can be learnt

The nation of America is known and believed to be one of the super power of the world in terms of their system of intelligence and sophisticated weaponry. While they where preparing themselves and their allies incase of a nuclear attack from North Korea, a more subtle enemy saw their focus on the North as a strategic opportunity to distract and invade the nation unnoticed.

1- We cannot live in the delusion of thinking we are secure when our walls and gates are already invaded by the enemy.

2- There as to be a constant redefinition of spiritual intelligence and authority as the strategy of the enemy’s attack changes from season to season.

3- While the power of Gods word is eternal by nature. however, how the word is fashioned, handle and understood within our spirit man must be updated from time to time. Certain spiritual method we once use in defeating the enemy in the past have become just too weak and obsolete in dealing with the more complex challenges of our time. The current speaking and emphasis of the Spirit defines to us the kind of weaponry needed to expose and destroy the activity of darkness. There is a need for spiritual upgrade.

4- We cannot afford to be cut off guard. Our first duty is to prevent the invasion of the enemy, and not to merely manage the assault of darkness on our lives.

5- when you shift from the values, standards and the principle of building your life,family, city or nation according to the divine pattern, you automatically abdicate your authority and power to lead and secure the future.

6- The enemy usually take advantage of a weak-link within. Ones there is devision of vision, purpose, value and objective as a community, the enemy already have access into the land; regardless of how alert and prepared the guards on our walls and gates may be. A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.

7- True leadership cannot be defined as a gray color, it’s either black or white, true or false. some of the ungodly values and humanistic policies made by lawmakers to accommodate everyone’s ideology or belief system has made the life of the people more vulnerable to attack and destruction.

8- Except the Lord watches our city, all our secured intelligence and sophisticated weapons cannot stop an enemy determine to wipe us off the planet.

9- We are learning daily that even the most powerful nation are still vulnerable once their sense of awareness of the change in season become weakened and dull.

10- The enemy uses terrorism to release and spread the spirit of fear and anxiety in other to cripple society from advancing. We must never give in to the spirit of fear, masqueraded in terrorism.

11- The nation of America and its leadership seriously need the intercession of believers globally.

12- Righteousness still exalt a nation and sin remains a reproach…

13- We must learn to arise and shine the light of Christ kingdom even in the midst of the greatest form of darkness around. The best time to shine the light of God is in the midst of darkness.

14- we need to learn to trust God and not our human wisdom because they will surely fail

15- Any society that rejects the whole counsel of God for living will find it very difficult to experience lasting and meaningful peace and joy
