Tongues and Interpretation (2)
Its for many! Its for many! For it's My desire that many will even come up to this pedestal, even to this height of the mountain, to hear the things unspeakable that are about to be spoken even in days to come. For I am here to help many come up. I am sent to help many to come up. And I will put words in your mouth to help many come up. Come up speedily, even to this height of the mountain; that We may speak. We are set to speak; I am set to speak even things unspeakable. I will speak the unspeakable. I am coming to speak the unspeakable. And many have to ascend, even to this height on the mount; to be helped to hear the unspeakable; even to be changed into that which can no longer turn or go out. You will hear unspeakable things to bring you to the realm that you shall no more go out. I am come to help many come up to this point, even to this point on the mount.
Message Begins…
The least level God can come to is the realm of the Father. Even when He says, draw near to Me, and I will draw near to you…(Jam. 4:8), the nearest He can come to us is in the realm of everlasting life. The things that have been coming to us since Anamnesis last year are things of the Most Holy, no matter how simplified they are.
In recent times, the emphasis has been on the issue of rest(Heb. 4:1); although not in the context of the natural definition of rest. Naturally, every man likes to rest, and will do anything to rest. Parents prepare their children to have a good life, that is, go to a good school, get a good job and then retire (rest). Rest is a part of every being, whether created or uncreated. Similarly, the Creator, God, did rest. God, who is a Spirit, rested, and was refreshed from all His w ork which He made (Gen 2:2-3). He also created man to work and afterwards rest. This rest is not in the context of owning natural possessions and having natural advantages; but that man should cease from his works. We must do certain works and then come into rest.
Before God made man or any other thing on earth, it is reasonable to conclude that He was in a state of rest; for He was not doing anything. However, He stepped out of rest to bring forth creation (Gen 1:1-31, 2:1-2). By the 6thday of creation, the scriptures make us understand that He had finished everything He intended to create. Thus, He rested on the 7thday. This creation was called works (Gen. 2:2-3).
Hebrews 4:1
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
In Hebrews chapter 1, Paul spoke of the Son of God at the right hand of the Majesty. In chapter 2, he wrote about the High Priest who is free from death; while in chapter 3, he focused on the One who is the builder and maker of all things God (Heb. 3:1-4). Jesus built everything God. Therefore, we see that the thoughts from chapter 1 till chapter 4 are focused on God. We see God who spoke by His Son now speaking to us. The whole conversation in Hebrews is about God.
In chapter 4, Apostle Paul began to speak extensively about rest. His audience in the book of Hebrews were not men who had just recently been born again or newly come to the faith; rather, they were men who had been raised to discern the word of rest. That is, these men had heard Christ – faith, hope and charity. Anyone who has not prospered with faith, hope and charity cannot prosper with this Word of rest.
The book of Hebrews is communicating a kind of word that can bring us to rest. The estate of rest - which God was in before anything was made - is the estate of God as a Father. This estate communicates that which only someone who has used Christ can relate with.
One thing noteworthy from Genesis 1 is that heaven and earth were not made by the word of Christ but by the word of God (Heb. 1:10; 2 Pet. 3:5). Heaven and earth (including man) are made with everlasting substances. The spirit and soul of man were made from that word. Thus, heaven and earth were made with things that are everlasting. God later formed man's body and put His spirit and soul into it (Gen. 2:7). Then He arranged the garden of Eden, in a pattern that is similar to the tabernacle, so that Adam could take a journey to eternal life (the tree of life), which was in the midst of the Garden.
The angels were also made by the words of God and are spread across various chambers or realms. There are certain angels that reside in the outer court and, although the entire heavens were made by the word of God, there is a peculiar word by which these angels in the outer court were created. This word is a Levitical kind of word: a word that makes them separated entities in their being. Angels in the holy place are sanctified or holy by nature; while angels in the most holy have the everlasting word - a word that is at par with creation. God put Adam in the garden so that he will journey to a word that will enable him discern the works of God, do them and come into rest. God finished His works and rested; but Adam had not yet done the work that would bring him to rest.
For some time now, we have undergone teachings that have made us do Christ-works. We have all done Christ-works (faith, hope and charity) in different measures. However, there is a particular kind of word which God hid in Himself - the sealed word of the everlasting realm. This word is sealed because He knows that if a person does not see that word, there is no way such can understand it or the things of the Father. Therefore, our spiritual parents have engaged in certain warfares in times past to bring forth the preaching of Christ; because if Christ is not preached, we will not see this everlasting word.
People can preach the Bible back-to-back without seeing Christ. If Christ is not seen by people, the word of Christ will not dwell in them. Colossians 3:16 admonishes us to let the word of Christ dwell in us richly. This word is the word of faith which we preach (Rom. 10:8). Therefore, Christ is first a word, a seed, or a wisdom (as used in the epistles). The reason for this word is to make Christ-personalities who can see God or the word of God. The emphasis of the book of Hebrews is the word of God, which is a mighty word. A person can be knowledgeable in scriptures (as in letters), but may be shallow in the word of Christ; having not prospered in it. The labour of the ministers of God in our midst over the last few years is so that faith, hope and charity can be seen.
The word of Christ is the spiritual word; that is, it is a word that has the capacity to make a person spiritual. Adam was created a living soul but he is a natural equivalent of Christ in the garden of Eden. To buttress this point, when God formed Adam's body, He put his body somewhere on the earth (Gen. 2:7). Later, God planted a garden, eastward in Eden, and put the man there (Gen. 2:8). After a while, God planted another garden, the garden of Eden, having four rivers; and there He put the man and gave him commandments (Gen. 2:15-16). From these Scriptures, we see the progressions Adam made within the garden. We may interpret these progressions as the outer court, holy place and most holy (where the tree of life is). Anyone who would cross into the most holy must have been a type of Christ. Therefore, we see that Adam in his natural estate was a kind of Christ who ought to learn the similitude of the everlasting word; which if he succeeded with, he would have gained the capacity for the tree of life.
At new birth, the spirit is a new man - Christ. Christ is the appointed or chosen One to see God. He is the anointed One who can see God and this is who we are in our spirits. Our spirits are not just spirits but also have spiritual constituents of Christ that are spiritual. The word of Christ is part of the nature that the spirit of man comes into. For everyone who is born again, we begin by learning milk. Good milk will make a believer supernatural. A believer can use milk faith to believe God for his well-being, for life, and to love all saints. After this, They will begin to open him up to learn faith, hope and charity.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
1 Corinthians 13:13
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Christ's kind of faith is not the kind that can be obtained by studying the Bible. The best we could get from study is milk faith, which can be built by feeding on the word of God. The faith which is Christ's faith has to come by hearing. Yet, it only comes to those who have used milk well. For anyone who has used milk well, the Holy Ghost begins to stir people including our Lord Jesus to begin to pray for such; just as Paul was moved by the Holy Ghost to pray for the Ephesian church (Eph. 1:15-20), so that their souls would transit from one who uses milk into one who hears faith.
When the Spirit of faith comes upon an individual, which marks the beginning of the learning of the doctrine of Christ, He begins to lead such a one in a manner contrary to that which he has previously known to live by. Without this leading, faith would not come to such. The spirit of Christ can tamper with things around you and even your family. Faith comes by hearing. That light comes for people that They designed the path for. Meekness begins by the path of life that is in faith. This will arrange a path contrary to your frequency, so that you can hear faith. Then, we will be conditioned differently to hear scriptures anew. We will begin to hear faith till we have hope. Every human being has hope. We hear faith to a point where they begin to tamper with our hope. Faith will grow to a point where God begins to tamper with it. One can be doing ministry with a wrong hope. When we are hearing faith and come to the level of hope, there are anti-faith spirits who come to war with us. Wrong hopes do a lot of things in men.
Tongues and Interpretation 3
To purify you; to purify your gaze; to purify your sight; to purify your walk; to purify your ascension. The words that are coming to you are a form of purification. Because as you ascend, certain hopes stand as iniquities. Iniquity painted a hope for man. As you begin to attain the true hope, you are purified for this next step. We have come to heal you of hopes; to help your heart to prosper and profit in this season. Our intention is profit for all. Dont allow yourself to be cheated. Be purified to profit even in this season.

Hopes are things we love that do not look like sins. There is an us in Christ that faith, hope and charity should produce. It will come to fulfilment by hearing the words of faith that tamper with our hope. We are blessed when They tamper with our hopes. Our hopes are our residual self images and they are planted in us by this world through the wisdom of sin and death. This is a kind of life that is anti-spiritual. We might not do works of the flesh, but might be living negative spiritual lives; which might not look wrong to me, but are wrong in the eyes of God.
The reason for taking us through faith, hope and charity is to make us spiritual men. Faith begins before the courts, and peaks in the courts. As you are eating the bread of Christ in the holy place, you will get strength to disobey the wrong hope. With the menorah, no one can see the wrong hope. With enough menorah and shewbread, a person comes to sight to disobey the wrong hope. Charity peaks at the altar of incense. (Titus 2:11-12) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.
The holy place works the nature of soberness in us. Soberness here means wanting to break free from the negative life that this world has taught. A person who peaks at charity and does all the commandments will enter into the holiest of all. We are in the season of the holiest of all, or the everlasting. (Isaiah 40:12) Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of His understanding. This everlasting God has certain understanding; certain knowledge. He is the Father, but a step-down God. He wants us to learn His word to do His work. The reason for all this teaching is so that a word in the ark will be understood. There is a word that is the word of God, which is higher than the word that made heaven and earth; and They want man to eat it.
Satan has sight. He must have checked us as a company of people who are going to eat what will bring him down. He is doing this to look for holes to cause us to fall. This is why we should not joke with our prayers. Satan brings wrong thoughts to make us stay in unbelief and doubts of what is being preached. We are in a warfare. In the Old Testament, the church in the wilderness came to mount Zion. We have also come there. Satan was around the mountain before they entered the promised land. He moved Balaam against the children of Israel. So also, we have things around us to make us err. We should be most careful at these times. We should not make mistakes. We should pray for our Daddy and those at the streaming centres to know how to keep the right atmosphere for this word. We need all manner of help to hear this world of everlasting so that we can be qualified to become arks.
Tongues and Interpretation 4
Merchants are coming! Sell not. Merchants have been sent. Sell not. Little ones. Oh, merchants are coming. Sell not. Watch for the little ones, for merchants are behind you. Watch for the little ones, for merchants are coming. Sell not that which you have gotten, which is of great price. Sell not!
Tongues and Interpretation 5
I bring grace for watchfulness. I bring grace for you to watch and keep that which has been committed. There is a need for watchfulness, of that which has been committed to you; even treasures of darkness and secret place. For you have come to the zone of scrutiny of the adversary, so watch. I bring grace to watch, even to watch in the spirit; alertness to watch for his movement. He is the sender of the merchants, that you might trade with things of invaluable worth; but I bring grace for you to watch and not trade. This is not a season of trade; this is a season of keeping. So, I bring grace for you to watch.
Tongues and Interpretation 6
None should be lost! Watch for one another! Watch! Grace is here even to watch for one another, for the company, for your family, for your household. Watch for your home, watch for your household. Watch for one another.
