Programme: Believers’ Convention 2024 Prayer Meeting (Week 4_Day 2)
Date: Tuesday, 30th July, 2024
Transcript Summary
1. The revelation of the Lord is the house where we can find who the Lord can be. He is the true God and an everlasting King. This Lord is the true God and the living God, and an everlasting king. So these three things can be found in the Lord. It is only the Lord that can make us know God. Thus, we have to get to the Lord to find God.
2. (Psa. 110:1). The second Lord here is Adonia; Adonia is the Controller or Master. That word trickled down from the heavenlies to the earth, from the invisible to the physical. The Almighty God is also Adonai. Adonai is the least revelation of the Lord that touches His subject. Thus, the manifestation of the Lord upon the persons He is coming to are in levels. For example, there is an expression of Lordship in the Holy Place, just as in the courts; it has to do with how He deals with people at their different levels.
3. The intention of God is to extend Himself to man at their different levels in order to reach them. When one comes near, such has come by the hand of God through the Lord. The first Lord with an open hand is the Lord who recovers, who can travel to where we are, even when we do not know Him. Thus, He brings us to Himself gradually, makes us cross junctions and brings us close enough. One who has experienced this has drawn near to the very temple of the Lord.
4. One who has the living God has God in a measure, but when one has the true God, He has God in full. Thus, God is like a shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day (Pro. 4:18). The illumination of the living God is not the fullness of God. The living God is an everlasting God, and the true God is also an everlasting God. However, the true God is a higher nature of everlasting life. This is because God knows that man cannot take the discipline or the materiality of the true God easily, so we need to first know the living God.
5. We start by walking with the living God, then we proceed to know the true God. There is the knowledge of the Lord and there is the knowledge of God. There is knowing the Lord and knowing God. It is at the realm of the Lord that we know God. When we know the Lord, He will cause us to know God. The One who reveals or teaches God is the Lord; He is the One who shows who God is.
6. We behold the glory of the Lord by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Cor. 3:17-18). The perfect law of liberty is not scripture, rather, it is a spirit; it is a mirror that beams the glory of the Lord and is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is showing the Lord and His glory; He is glorifying the Lord. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit shall glorify Him (John 16:14).
7. There are things that should drop when one has beheld enough. When we behold and go away, we forget what manner of man we are (Jam. 1:25). When we behold, this mirror will show us ourselves – the real us. The real man is the everlasting projection of that man. This is the work of the Lord in the Most Holy when we meet with Him; He makes us look like God. The work of the Spirit of the Lord is to make one look like God.
8. (1 Cor. 13:11). It is men who are called to the duty of beholding. A man views through a glass or a mirror darkly (1 Cor. 13:12). One who is before the throne would see himself and this is mercy. To see oneself is to see the disparity of how far one is from who one is meant to be. This is what this mirror does! Thus, we should pray that we behold the mirror.
9. (Lev. 16:12). This is how the High Priest crosses the veil. The burning light is a dark one and this is where we see Christ. When a man has Christ in him, that is the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). Christ is not the hope, for there is what is called “the glorious hope”. The hope itself is life everlasting, but Christ gives us the ability to hope for glory. When Christ is fully formed in a man, he can then begin to seek the glorious appearance of the great God and Saviour Jesus Christ (Tit. 2:13).
10. (1 Cor. 13:12). We are known as “I Am” in that mirror. The name of that mirror is “I Am”. There is a way that one who is inside “I Am” looks at. Thus, we should not behold it and look back. When one looks at that mirror, the “I Am” does not reveal his sin or iniquity, rather, He will show the person his perfect self. As the person keeps beholding his perfect self, then he will become. “I Am that I Am”, which means moving from one glory to another, that is, from the living glory to the true glory.
11. (2 Cor. 3:7). Glory does not come until it is written. The process of writing is by ministering spirit. As spirit is being ministered, life is given. A minister should cooperate with the Lord to write upon the soul, but the minister is not the writer, for the Holy Ghost is. When the work is finished on the stone, it will begin to show glory. To write on the stone is the covenant. Thus, the ministering of the stone itself is the testimony.
12. One cannot have a new heart without building, for there is what one should look like. One can be an image that does not have expression. When the law is written, the glory of that image comes. When He is showing image, He is showing a picture of what the body should be transmitting. The heart of flesh is the body of God and one does not get heart and body without water. Clean water gives a new heart while pure water gives a heart of flesh. After the spirit is put in one’s spirit, it deals with the stony heart, but there is water God gives to us (Ezek. 36:26).
13. The Lord is that spirit, the Lord is the glass (2 Cor. 3:17-18). The Lord is the land while God is the promise. The living God is a promise. The glass is the ministry while the land is the place of ministration. Thus, it will take the land to give one the promise. One cannot find the promises except in the land (Psa. 142:5).
14. Where a man stands is his land. “Land” means where one’s feet are standing upon. Abraham treaded the land (Gen. 13:17). Thus, we must tread on the land of the Lord enough to get to where God is. There is no physical land that can carry God, for God is in His own land. The Lord is His land. The Lord is the true God and the living God (Jer. 10:10). All promises in God are yea and amen. Getting to the land is meeting with the Lord, then He will show you God.
15. God wants to show us promises. He is the land and He is the promise; these are the secrets of God. God stands on the Lord and lives in the Lord. He is both the Lord and He is God (Psa. 100:3). This means our land is our promise. When one is a grass in the land, the Lord will give rain (Hos. 6:3; Zech. 10:1). The Giver of promise is the Lord, He is the one who will cause us to know God and we need to get to Him.
16. One can be a son and yet, it does not yet appear what one shall be (1 John 3:2). That is a son who is supposed to come into covenant with God. When one has done the covenant, God will be assured that He will be his God. We need to do the covenant to attain the promises. The covenant and promise are in two phases because he that commits sin is of the devil (1 John 3:8). To be of the devil is a promise, but he that does righteousness is righteous (1 John 3:7). This is the covenant, which at the end would bring one into promises. Promises is life everlasting.
Blessings!
