THE MYSTERIOUS CALL
Abraham is a model for the
true seeker of God today, at a point in our lives, we all receive
the same unseen call of the master saying follow me. We receive the
call that says follow me and I will give you a seed that will
inherit all things. We receive a call that says leave the vanities
and projected images of gods and idols of this world and follow me.
We receive the call that says deny your self and your goods and I
will give you a greater name and great riches. We receive the call that says you will
be a blessing to many nations and I will lead you into fruitfulness
, I will give you exceeding joy, peace, life, glory and immortality.
Some of us probably
received this call many years ago
and are still struggling with the elementary things of the faith. Some
of us are still entangled with the sins and guilty conscious the world
possesses. You have fasted, you have paid what religion calls tithes, you
have kept night vigils praying with other brethren, You have attended
revivals after revivals yet you seem to go further away from the promise
of glory that God called you to. Times came when you wondered if you
were called, "shouldn't I go back to where I came from", "should I work
out something out of the flesh to act as that promise". In the midst of
all this fear sets in, wavering come in and we find ourselves like
clouds without water. We find ourselves guiltier than hell.
Abraham in His failures and unfruitfulness
received a
final call that would change His life, it was a visitation from God that
gave Adam a new commandment. The lord told Him walk before me and be
blameless (without fault, without iniquity, in perfection) and I will
fulfill my promise to you. Abraham fell on his face not because of fear
of the Lord but because it was the word he had been waiting for. He knew
within himself that the word that the Lord uttered was the missing link
to that promise He sought after. The Lord assured Him that as He walked
faithfully before Him (before His face) blamelessly, the promise will
come to pass. The glory He sought after and the fruitfulness in all
aspects of His life will all come to pass. The seed of promise in whom
the whole world was to be blessed will come forth from Him shortly as He
obeyed the call to blamelessness before God.
In likewise
manner the Lord is calling His sons to the same blamelessness before Him,
it is a commandment of the Lord. We first of all have to have a
revelation of this blamelessness before God and then put it on as a
robe. This walk comes by faith in the blood of the lamb and the
mysterious workings of the cross. We have to accept the fact that as far
as the Lord is concerned we are blameless before Him in love. The Lord
sees no iniquity in us neither does He impute sin on us because of the
free gift of justification that there is in Christ Jesus. We are no
longer termed sinners but we are seen as perfect and blameless in the
sight of God just because of the blood of the lamb that was shed to
cleanse and cover any form of carnal manifestation that might pop up in
us. When you get this revelation the command of the Lord is to walk on
in this great revelation and grace. Like He called Abraham He has called
you, like He justified Abraham so has He justified us, and glorified us
according to His good pleasure.
THE SECRET BOND
This
is a revelation that God is giving you and it is between you and God as
a bond and covenant. Never expect others outside to understand your
claim to blamelessness before God. Never expect those you went out to
the pubs with to understand. Never expect your family members who saw
you in you humanity and carnality to understand this. they can only
understand this as God reveals it to them. Even Jesus couldn't be
perfect before His own brothers in the flesh because they saw Him grow
up and they saw His humanity. I am writing this so that you do not let
men discourage you in your new found faith and revelation. Do not fear
men that will slander you because of this justification by faith; read
Isaiah 41:8-13
Isaiah 41:8-13
8 "But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I
have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My
friend. 9 You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And
said to you, 'You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: 10 Fear not, for I
am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help
you, I will uphold you with My righteous right
hand.' 11 "Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be
ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish. 12 You shall seek
them and not find them-- Those who contended with
you. Those who war against you Shall be as
nothing, As a nonexistent thing. 13 For I, the
LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying
to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'
Leave off the burdens of religion and the system
traditions of men and walk in this new found revelation.
God
sees no iniquity in those who obey to follow the Christ, even in the
days of Israel and with all their imperfections God reversed the curses
of Balaam into blessing, because He saw no iniquity in them.
Prophetically speaking He was pointing to we who were to inherit the
true salvation
Numbers 23:19-22
19 "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a
son of man, that He should repent. Has He said,
and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He
not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it. 21 "He has not observed
iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in
Israel. The LORD his God is with him, And the shout of a King is among them. 22 God brings them out of
Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox.
God has called
us to bless us and nothing less, no matter what the peoples in the
realms of religion and traditions of men feel we are covered in the
sight of God. He sees the son in us, He does not see the old carnal man
of the world that we once held unto before the revelation of the Cross.
That thing that pops up from time to time is not you but it is the flesh.
Your true self can not sin, He is ever before God blameless. This is the
calling the Lord is giving to we who are to inherit the promise.
THE SON REVEALED IN US
Romans 8:28-30
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love
God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom
He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,
that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He
predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also
justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Romans 8:28-30
says we are being conformed into His son (Jesus Christ), so that God
sees the son in us, He does not see that man of sin. His mind is made up
and He will not change, He thought it all out in the beginning, we have
been predestined and called out from condemnation and death, He has
freely justified us and He is glorifying us with the glory of His Son.
The Father loves the son (YOU) and has given Him (YOU) all things, the
Father withholds nothing from the son (YOU) . The Father honors the son
(YOU) and will show him (YOU) even greater works so that the whole world
will marvel.
Paul talked about this call to blamelessness in Ephesians 1:3-10
Ephesians 1:3-10
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in
Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having
predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according
to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His
grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have
redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom
and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will,
according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in
the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together
in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on
earth--in Him.
He repeats the
fact that God has called us with all blessings in Christ, we are
blameless in Him, we are constantly forgiven and covered in Him and we
are accepted among the beloved, we are adopted as sons in Him. In other
words as Jesus was in this world blameless and perfect before God so are
we perfect before God. Never mind the demonic doctrines of religion and
man that preach contrary to this.
I once met an elderly
respected man of a church denomination, who plainly told me that it is
pride to try to make yourself equal to Christ. He spoke the same exact
words the scribes and religious leaders of those days spoke against
Jesus in the days of His ministry in the flesh. He spoke to me so
eloquently that even those who stood by would have easily agreed with
Him. Then the Lord told me, my son do not worry, I reveal this truth to
babes and the foolish.
THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD
John
in His vision of the redeemed and over comers of the Lord saw this same
people that were before the throne without fault.
Revelations 14:1-5
14:1 Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with
Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father's name
written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the
voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard
the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 They sang as it were a new
song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders;
and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four
thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were
not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who
follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men,
being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found
no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.
I
just wanted to point out that they were called out from among men by the
lamb, they faithfully follow the lamb and are therefore covered by the
grace in blood of the lamb. They are found to be without fault before
the throne of God, not before men. I stressed not before men so
that you cease from trying to justify yourselves before men, they will
only burden you till you lose you salvation. Those who will be in this
number understand the call to blamelessness before God and His throne so
that the devil can't deceive them any more by calling them unworthy
sinners.
These
ones are now in the hands of the true shepherd so that the devil can not
pluck them out of His hand. As we walk in this reality of grace and
blamelessness before God , know for sure that we begin to behold His
glory and we are now transformed into the same immortal glory. We begin
to bear fruit and be a blessing to many others. Just like Abrahams wife
gave birth to a son a year after the command to walk blamelessly before
God, so also will the new creation man which is Christ the son of the living
God begin to be revealed in us.
Just like you have no control
over the formation of a child in the womb so also do we have no
control over that seed in our womb. All we can do is walk in the
revelation of His exceeding grace and love, the rest follows. No
worries, just rejoice daily in this hope of glory that the Lord has
promised you.
Remember it is the Father's
desire to give you the kingdom (The promised land, the fruitful land).
Be blessed as you walk in this reality of blamelessness before the
throne.
