The Throne of God is real. What makes it look unreal or out of grasp is the density of the working of another Throne which has permeated the minds of people. As such, they are unable to appreciate the Throne of God. The Throne of God cannot be well expounded without the understanding of the persons of God. This is because the Throne is sacred. A man cannot understand the governance of the dominion of the Godhead without understanding who They are
Satan has placed a fear of elevation in the natural for man, but it must be conquered. Any throne for which men can engage in any form of vices to attain is not God's throne. Satan also has a throne but before a man can sit on it, he needs to also know and have Satan’s nature. The key to sitting on Satan's throne is that one has to agree to look like the beast and lose his humanity completely. This therefore means that there is no neutrality to sitting on either of the thrones. One must completely know either God or Satan to sit on their thrones.
The Godhead—the Holy Ghost, the Word and the Father all have different natures. The Father cannot condescend beyond the name (nature) of the ‘Father’. However, the Holy Ghost can go as far as the state of a baby Christian. This is the dimension of the Holy Ghost that we drink into when we first have the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost has levels; His nature transcends from the realm of the carnal believer to the realm of the Eternal Spirit.
While Jesus was on earth, He grew to the point where He had the everlasting nature. However, he moved on to becoming "the Only Begotten" of God. As such, He entered into His full glory, which is His eternal personality. The first offering of Jesus was the everlasting offering on the cross and the next was an eternal offering, through an Eternal Spirit (Heb. 9:14). Jesus would not have been able to offer eternally without the eternal nature. This is because it will take the eternal nature to flow with or understand the Eternal Spirit.
There is a difference between the Baby who became Jesus and the Man who became “Christos” (the Christ of God). The Christ of God is not a human being; He is neither male nor female but is a New Creature. Our Lord Jesus grew from the state of a baby to become Christ. He can also stretch to become a Father. When Jesus left God to come to the earth, God did not leave His spirit because His spirit had the ability to stretch to any level without changing His person (nature). The Father can also stretch into the everlasting nature without changing His person. There is the Eternal God, the Everlasting God (who is also an everlasting Father), and the Word of God. The Word of God can become a Father and at the same time, enter into the nature of the Messiah. This means He can also be Christ.
We should not take that which God is speaking to us lightly. The reason why He is speaking to us in this manner is because He wants to make some people sit on the Throne. God does not joke with the things He is revealing to us because they are unveiling the person of the Triune God. The Godhead are called the Creators, but Their personalities and names are vaster than this. Although They are three, They are one and are eternal.
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men…” (Phil. 2:5-7). Before Jesus came to earth, He had a nature—He was Logos. However, He has the ability to come out of divinity or the eternal order to take up another form, which is the form of a servant (man). Neither the Father nor the Holy Ghost can do this. The Holy Ghost is also different from the Father and the Son in that He can condescend to dwell and relate with man, even up till the state of a baby Christian. He is the one who can forbear our shortcomings and plead for us before the Father and the Son.
The extent to which a man can be malleable in the hands of the Holy Ghost is the extent to which he can be lowly. Humility is an inheritance of a nature that is stretchable. When a being cannot stretch beyond a state, it is because he does not have enough spirit. When we find ourselves in this kind of state, we should cry for the Spirit of God to work in us.
The Father is not lofty. The Godhead are Eternal Children. The childlike nature is their law; it is in their members, and They will not disobey Their order. Logos is a mystery of the mysteries. Both the Holy Ghost and the Father keep Logos, and at the same time, the Father keeps both of Them. If Logos is revealed to you, you will understand everything about the Godhead.
The Holy Ghost is awesome, but we should not grieve Him. The unpardonable sin is the sin against the Holy Ghost because He is the one who will war with a man not to leave the way of righteousness. When you strive with Him, He will still continue to try and convince you to stay on the way. Striving with Him is actually disdaining Him. It means to make Him feel like a nobody. The Holy Ghost can keep condescending with us, but only to a certain level after which He cannot go further. This is because in the spirit, there is a level He cannot get to. He checks our positioning in the spirit and knows when a man can no longer repent. As long as you still have signs that you can repent, He will still hang around you and keep coming to you.
“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, [2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. [3] And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” (Gen. 6:1-3). There was a time when the Holy Ghost once gave up on men. If He cannot continue with men, neither can the Father. As such, we should love the Holy Spirit. If we continue to align with Him, He will take us to any height, even beyond our imaginations and will be with us.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. [11] Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.” (Psa. 51:10-11). A clean heart represents Christ’s heart while the right spirit is one with an everlasting nature. It is the spirit of God’s presence. A man will first have a clean heart and then, a right spirit. In the presence of the Lord is fullness of joy; therefore, it is the realm of the everlasting (Psa. 16:11). But before you can come into this place, you need a right spirit.
The Father cannot condescend below the level of fatherhood because of the things He carries. He is called the Father of glory because He houses glory. The Father is a temple. Our physical bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost but not the temple of God. If the Holy Ghost acts like God, our bodies will not be the way they are. If He becomes the Eternal Spirit in our bodies, we will not even be sick anymore. However, He is very meek and humble. He takes instructions from God on the steps to take in our bodies. As such, He will improve our outward man according to those instructions.
If Christ remains only in our spirits (at the New Birth), our bodies will still be dead because sin would still be in it (Rom. 8:10). However, the body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. He can live in and work on a sinful body. The blood of the Lamb gave the Holy Ghost the right of way to stay in the body. Jesus came in the likeness of sinful flesh and lived in the body of man for some time, but the Holy Ghost first of all lived in the body of Jesus. He did not leave Jesus, even after He raised Him up from the dead.
"But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you." (Rom. 8:11). This scripture says that it is the “Spirit that raised up Christ from the dead”, and not “the Holy Spirit” that will quicken our mortal bodies. This means that even though the Holy Ghost is in our bodies, He does not quicken them. He will not go ahead to act, although He is closer to us than He who raised Jesus Christ from the dead. He waits for He that raised up Christ from the dead to give instructions for the raising and quickening of our bodies. The Holy Ghost will not carry out the instruction of the quickening of our bodies except He listens to God.
We do not also possess immortal bodies by confession but until the Holy Ghost hears from God to make us come into that state. There are things the Holy Ghost does not do, except by instruction. The Holy Ghost can give the gifts of the Spirit as He wills (1 Cor. 12:8-11) but He does not change people’s natures as He wills. He will not change a man into Christ without hearing from Christ because the things that make a man to become Christ are “Christos” things. They are things of the Messiah. The Holy Ghost is not Christ; it is Logos that became Christ. If we are being taught the things of Christ, the Holy Ghost can assume the role of the Spirit of Christ to administer Christ’s things to us.
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. [14] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. [15] All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you." (John 16:13-15). The Holy Ghost will give us the things of God and the things of Christ according to the permission granted to Him, even though He is also God. Christ will not also take honour unto Himself because the Godhead have an order that they obey (Heb. 5:5).
If a man is born again and Christ is in his spirit, his body is dead because of sin but his spirit is life because of righteousness (Rom. 8:10). For anyone whose soul has become Christ, there is a measure of life that will be given to his body. The flow of life is by the Holy Spirit to produce Christ’s life in the flesh of such a man. But the Holy Ghost does not just go-ahead to do this, He waits for God to tell Him what to do. If the Holy Ghost hears from God on what to do about things, then we should also hear God on what to do about the ministry.
It is because the Holy Ghost honours God that He waits to hear from God on even the minutest of things. He waits on both God and the Son. A man who has any attitude less than this will never sit on the Throne because those who will sit on the Throne will submit one to another (Eph. 5:21). The Throne of God does not work without keeping ranks or ethics. Those who will sit on the throne will be an army of the throne. An army means "an order or armed men". “Arm” in the word “army” does not refer to “harm” because a bandit is not an army. This “arm” refers to the training/ethics for war. An army are not murderers; when they kill, they kill rightly. An army are those who have been disciplined and trained. As such, a man cannot sit on the Throne when he breaks order.
The Throne is one. The Holy Ghost does not have a throne separate from Jesus Christ the Messiah or God the Father. It is on one throne that the Three (the Godhead) are seated and it is also one throne that all of us are also going to ascend to. God will not give a man another throne. As such, we need to learn and see how The Godhead handle the Throne. The Throne demanded that Jesus should submit to God. It demanded that Jesus should rule by the Throne and bring everything into subjection under Him, after which He would submit Himself to God. There is submission on the Throne; therefore, we ought to learn this culture.
We should not be people who cannot abide by law or order. There is a code of conduct in the spirit; therefore, people should conduct themselves accordingly. When people refuse to abide by the conduct or order in the spirit, they offend the Holy Ghost. There are also a lot of laws that govern how we relate with our brethren. Some of them might not be expressly stated, but they are laws that are at work. At times, we do not need to wait for these laws to be proclaimed expressly before we obey them. If a man is sincere, He can read these laws because God wants us to read them.
Orderliness and ethics are a blood code in God; they are genetically enshrined in Him. You cannot sit on God's Throne if you do not belong to His bloodline. You must be His heir and have the discipline of one before you can sit on His throne. Heirs are in levels. A newborn baby in Christ is also an heir, although in the lowest level. Such cannot be trusted with God's Throne. The reason for this is because God is love and would not commit to a child that which is beyond his capacity. There are powers that a child can operate. Baby Christians can deal with demons because they are also babies of Satan (Luke 10:19). However, they do not have the power to deal with evil spirits.
You do not lose the Holy Ghost as you grow in the spirit. Rather, He grows with you. Jesus grew to a point where the Holy Ghost could fully rest on Him at Jordan. He was a full Christ, therefore, God gave Him the Holy Ghost without measure. He was not just full but also filled with the Holy Ghost. It is the stature of a man that determines his ability to be full of the Holy Ghost. Christ received the glory of God and continued getting upgraded till he could lay own His life to die on the cross. He received the spirit of glory (the everlasting glory), which was also the nature of everlasting life. The Holy Ghost prepared Him for the eternal world. As such, when Jesus was raised from the dead, He became an Eternal Man, even the Eternal God.
The Holy Ghost was still with Jesus in His resurrected state. Jesus had the Eternal Spirit while He was on earth (Heb. 9:14). One who possesses this Spirit is beyond the level of Christ because the laws of Christ are for the Spirit of Christ (Phil. 1:19). It is the same Holy Ghost that led Him through all of these phases, though He had different administrations.
The Holy Ghost on the Throne is the Eternal Spirit. Among the Godhead, He is the one who has the form of a Spirit. Jesus lived as Logos before He came to earth as a man—the form of a servant (Phil. 2:7). The form of a servant means to serve God or to offer service to Him. Jesus came to show man how to serve God, and He did it to the maximum. He condescended so low and yet, ascended so high. He allowed God to work in Him to show how a man can sit on the Throne.
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Phil. 2:9-11). The Bible did not say that He was given a name above every “other” name but above “every name”. This means God has many names, but Jesus was given the highest one. The rest of the names are higher than the angels. “Every name” also refers to God’s name, but it is not all of God’s name that are the same; there is the highest name of God.
“I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.” (John 17:16). The name God gave Him on earth is an everlasting name. The word Jesus means “Jehovah saves”. It is not a static name. There is a Jesus of earth, Jesus of heaven and Jesus of eternity; that is Jesus of Christ, Jesus the Son of God and Jesus the only begotten Son. The operation of Jesus is in levels. Jesus is the name of the vessel and it can be improved upon. The word “everlasting” is also a name that can be attached to Jesus; same with “Christ”. Jesus received a name above every name, and that is Jesus’ new name.
It will take a spirit to behave the way the Holy Ghost does because the Holy Ghost is the spirit of the Living God. He is the Ghost of eternity. The Father and the Word are more of persons than the Holy Ghost. They are not the Ghost in eternity. The Ghost in eternity is the Holy Ghost.
The Godhead all have Eternal life, but they do not all possess the same characteristics. In Eternal life, They have different natures. The Father cannot go below everlasting life, but the Son can still come down to the level of a man. The Holy Ghost can reach man, even without changing nature because He has a different state than the Father and Logos. The Holy Ghost does not often show as a person, but can take different forms like fire, lightning and so on.
In heaven, He is a Ghost. He is not just the burning One around the Throne; He is also the rainbow around the Throne (Rev. 4:3 & 5). If He can be fire, He can also be rainbow. He is the One who wore God with a garment. He is still the same One who is filling men on earth. He is the glory of the Father and He is God’s covering. The Eternal Spirit only belongs to the Bride who can wear God’s glory.
Satan uses lack of fear and wisdom to cheat people. He does this by lying to them that they are being tricked to stay with this message. If God leads you to a place, it is safe to stay there until you are sure that He wants you to leave. Satan wants to steal our crowns. When it comes to the things of God, we cannot use our minds. This doctrine is not about any person but about the fold. God needs to make us lowly to locate our fold and stay with it. High-mindedness makes one cast aspersion to these things.
We must fear to not loose God. We must be as wise as a serpent to take that which is our own, so that God can keep us. If Satan does not succeed in taking you to hell or lake, he would want to make you eternally sad or regret of not laying hold of your portion in God.
The realm of the spirit is real. We must be responsible for the things we hear. These things are precious and real. If anyone leaves this fold out of offence, he is joking with his soul. If anybody throws stones at you, you should use them as stepping stones to continue with your pursuit of Eternal Life. Satan will come to tempt us against one another, but we must endure until we overcome him. He does this to stop us, but we must get to a place where we cannot be taken out of this path, no matter what anyone does.
