Eternal Glorious Fountain Ministry (EGFM)
Programme: Anamnesis Prayer Meeting – Week 4 Day 2
Date: Tuesday, 29th November 2022
The prophecy that came is about the doors of heaven; it is not referring to the present heavenly doors. It is talking about a door in the book of Hebrews that we have hitherto not been seeing, but are actually heavens. God sent the ministering spirit with these heavenly doors.
Psalm 102:22-28 is a messianic Psalm that fits perfectly to Jesus who was in presence but was cut off from presence. Jesus was pointing to the law of endlessness, citing that that is how He was meant to be (Ps. 102:24-25). In those verses, we see Jesus as a man and as God after resurrection. Immediately He sat on the throne, all these promises fit Him. He had come into the status of the Person who laid the foundation of the earth. This was what birthed Psalm 103.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” (Psa. 103:1). We can see “Bless the Lord, O my soul” ending Psalm 103 and beginning Psalm 104. Psalm 103 is an exposition of the genetics of everlasting life. Psalm 104 had a record of a dominion beyond everlasting life -- it showed us an established dominion of eternity.
All the realms in Psalm 103:17-22 are everlasting. They are all poured out of the canvas of an everlasting mind. Adam had a soul called living soul, so he was an everlasting man. If Jesus is the Son of the living God, it means He was the Son of the everlasting God. In the same manner, since Adam had a living soul, it means he had an everlasting soul. Adam was a little lower than the angels that were the works of God’s dominion (Psalm 8:5-9).
“O my soul” refers to a living soul, which is the soul of a living man who has access to living things for man. The life in the soul is what it interacts with. God breathed into him the breath of a particular life (Gen. 2:7). This shows that the highest kind of man is a living soul. The works of His dominion are also sons. We do not have a language to classify them. Seraphims are fire, that is, God breathed fire into them. When He made angels, He breathed spirit into them (Ps. 104:4). The works of His dominion are a type of angelic soul higher than man.
What God kept in the heavens are souls. Fire and spirit are types of souls of angels. The seraphims are called hosts because they are fiery and that is why they can give pleasure. If they do not have this kind of soul, they would not be able to minister. Ministers on earth are souls of fire under the living soul operation. The bearer of the living soul is not a fire, rather he is a kind of spirit but is actually a soul. So, a living soul is a spirit that is soul on earth.
On earth, John was at the highest level; he was an earthly soul, not a heavenly soul. If he was not at that level, he would not have understood Jesus and it would have been impossible to introduce Him. John could, in a measure, understand Jesus as the Son of man. Jesus was a terrific, deadly work of God. It is not easy to know Jesus. One time, He would be seen as the Son of man; another time, He would be seen as the Son of God. He was bearing the two-fold identity.
“But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? [62] And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.” (Mk. 14:61-62). Jesus was emphasizing to them that they would see a man coming as the Son of God. We ought to teach the Son of God and Son of Man, and skill is required for it because that is the secret of Jesus. Books do not teach this; it is only mercy that can divide it. The Son of Man that God originally wanted is man.
No prophet in the Old Testament was a Son of God. None of those prophets attained sonship with God; they were christs because the spirit of Christ was in them. The basis of their revelation was Christ but they said things beyond Christ because they were prophesying, not teaching.
John was more than just a kind of Christ. There were many christs but the Jews were looking for a particular one that carried the Christ-gene of God. That was who they were all waiting for. Jews are those whom salvation belongs to; they are those who worship God. They sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask John who he was and he confessed to not being the Christ (John 1:19-20). The Jews did not send Pharisees because they are custodians of secrets. The priests and Levites are the custodians of the secrets of names.
The priests are responsible for teaching the people. The Pharisees were not ordained but the priests and Levites were chosen out by God into an everlasting covenant. Levites and priests were christs in categories. They knew some things because the covenant of life and peace was given to them. There are things known to priests that Israel may not know. Not all Judeans are Jews, but any Judean can be a Jew. A Jew is he who is properly instructed in the way of worship.
“And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. [22] Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? [23] He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.” (John 1:21-23). The Jews asked John if he was Elias or that prophet. Elias was prophesied to come before Jesus and he said Elias had come. Elias was John while the Prophet was Jesus. The level of Elias is lower than the Prophet. So, Elias is the prophet of that Prophet. A lot of believers do not agree that Jesus is a Prophet. God became man and that was why He was called Son.
Mary gave birth to flesh. Jesus was the Son of man on the earth and He is still so in heaven. Jesus’ identity as a man will never be lost; it is an eternal treaty that He came into. When He left the Godhead, He agreed to come into the state of man with the condition that He would not be left in that state but would be taken back into Godhood, giving man the opportunity to come up to that state. Jesus bore both identities -- man and God.
John the Baptist was a fire and a shining light; he was a spirit and a living soul. Heaven is a world with a programme, an inscription of spirits. Heavens are for spirits. “Who maketh his angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire …” (Psa. 104:4). Flaming fire is a type of spirit. Those spirits are designed by laws (codes). Fire means something in the spirit and spirit has its meaning in the realm of the heavens. Thus, prophets of the Old Testament were in the sanctuary of the heavens of men (earth) and they could peep into heaven from that realm. The souls of men like Ezekiel and Daniel were characterized by a unique kind of wisdom. The soul of Solomon was given a gate but he could not progress. His soul was characterized by a diversity of wonders; however, he could not live up to his full destiny because of too many women.
Above the sanctuary, there is a sanctuary of the earth and the most holy mountain in the heavens where spiritual wickedness stay— high places. This realm belonged to sons of men. Men like Adam stayed in such a realm. Men like Moses and Elijah were not in the sanctuary but in such realms. John arose to a state higher than them, though he performed no miracle. No human being ever got to the estate Adam was before the fall. Adam was made best. However, Jesus attained this state and went even higher. Jesus fulfilled the sonship programme of the New Testament. He had to become many types of sons in order to close such gates. Prophets could fulfill the law but none of them fulfilled it to the end except one man — Jesus. Jesus fulfilled the law and paid the price of redemption by His lifestyle.
Jesus constituted a heavy work. He did the Adamic programme, completed the Old Testament and also obeyed the Father. Jesus had the mind of a Jew because He was one with a touch of excellence. Jesus was a teacher of the Jews to a high capacity and He did this as a Son of man. Jesus could easily churn out laws, not by reading but from within Him. A man did the entire law as Moses gave it but did not have Eternal Life. When he said this to Jesus, He knew the law was closed to him and he was doing just the letters of the law (Matt. 19:16-21). Letters kill. Letters are not by recitation or cramming. A man can take the word and do it to have results. Letters can be glorious, producing results.
It is possible for a man to teach letters and be teaching glory. Paul said that the letter was glorious (2 Cor. 3:7). Letter can endure, depending on the kind of material on which it is written. The glory of letter has to do with the base of the letter. Thus, letter can be spiritual or glorious but lack the capacity to give life. The rich young ruler did the letter of the ose and had glory around him but that glory was that of a flower which could fade away. He was not aware that there was another world in that law. Jesus went into the same law and projected another angle: “...sell all you have, give to the poor and follow Me” (Matt. 19:21-22).
The rich young ruler was asking for a heavenly thing -- Eternal Life. Eternal Life is a heavenly material/gift. When Jesus gave the young man that instruction, he went away sorrowful. This was because the young man wanted Eternal Life but had great possessions. So, his possessions prevented him. Jesus was teaching the young man faith. There are weightier matters of the law: judgment, mercy and faith (Matt. 23:23). There are also other matters that are not weighty: tithe, giving alms, etc. Faith is a weightier matter of the law. Faith here is referring to the life of faith. Jesus enumerated them in condescending order. Mercy in this scripture is a mercy that leads to judgment.
John was a christ and a son, but not the Christ. The son of man and the Christ is our Lord Jesus. Another word for “christ and son” in the Old Testament is “prophets and righteous men”. Righteous men are everlasting men. God brought Abraham into the level of prophets like Noah and Abel. Abraham was a younger type of the patriarchs. These patriarchs were people who grew into the kind of men one could refer to as righteous men on earth. The highest of this kind of men is referred to as “living soul". God gave this gift to Adam, but Satan made him slip out of it, into flesh.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. [2] Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain…” (Psa. 104:1-2). The soul in Psalm 103:22 was one of everlasting, whereas the soul here in Psalm 104 sums up the blessing. The soul here is referred to as “O my soul”. It is this kind of soul Jesus carried. He carried the original pattern or seed of everlasting life. The soul in Psalm 104 could see the limitation of the Psalm 103:22 kind of soul. The latter saw the limit of the realms of everlasting life to sons of everlasting life.
Jesus came to fulfill those heavens; He would crush them and fold them up as a vesture (Heb. 1:12). Only souls that are of the cadre defined as “O my soul” can have the honor of folding the heavens. Jesus will also fold up the earth because He fulfilled both realms; descending to the abyss. Even hell will be cast into the lake of fire. Jesus fulfilled all the realms, including the realms of hell. That is, He did it better.
The soul in Psalm 103:22 was dropped from heaven in a spectacular manner that will fit His eternal purpose. This same “O my soul” would ascend higher and instruct heavens higher than spirits, and also bless the Lord. In Psalm 103, the duties of these spirits were described, whereas in chapter 104, the psalmist was x-raying their persons because higher light was available.
“Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: [4] Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire…” (Psa. 104:3-4). The realm of “who maketh his angels spirit” to “O my Lord, thou art very great” are mornings. Flames of fire here are not referring to angels, but mornings. Flame of fires here are spirits who are the sons of the morning. Those described as wings of the winds are a higher grade of spirits than the flames of fire. Then a much higher level is the cloud. The cloud is the reign of the spirits which God uses to cover them. Lucifer sought to go higher than the spirits in this realm (Isa. 14:14).
What edges the boundaries of the waters above are clouds. Clouds are not winds; they are confirmation or witnesses of God over the winds. They are God’s seal of witness; a high witness. There is a water above called firmament. To reach the clouds, one has to go higher to overcome clouds; they are under a dispensation of limited water and that is a blessing. God clothed them with clouds because the cloud is a covering, a house, a shield and also a food. They live in the cloud and live by the cloud. They comprehend God by the cloud. That realm is the end of the beginning for creation.
The next realm after the clouds is the realm of the waters. The wings of the winds are not allowed to take the waters. The cloud was put on these beings in order to ride on them. God gave other beings wings of winds in order to walk on them. Thus, there is the riding of God and the walking of God. When God is walking, He condescends to a lower doctrine which one’s wings depicts. When God runs, He goes over the clouds. Thus, for Him to walk on one, one needs to have an extension (wings).
God’s waters constitute His everlasting life. From that realm of everlasting life, God could condescend. Jesus did the same thing when He installed doctrines of different degrees. He was only doing what He saw His Father do. God’s law is seen in Jesus’ sayings. Those are the waters above the clouds. When one is in the waters and one is learning, such a person is learning to walk. If everlasting life is water, it would take mercy to swim in it. When we arrive at these waters, we have come into the actual doctrine of God and we can do all the works of God.
From these waters are called the waters of joy. It is sometimes referred to as waters of gladness. However, this gladness is not at the same level Jesus was anointed with. There is gladness of above and gladness that is beneath. Immediately after the waters, one reaches the veil. The veil is the flesh (or bread). We find life after the veil. But first, you need to eat the veil to be able to take life. When God brought the bride to the earth, it was for her to eat His flesh. The flesh prepares them (the bride) to reign. This is why it is said that we would not cease to be sons of men. The glory of one’s earth is dependent on one’s life.
The earth that Christ is is heaven. This present heaven cannot take the ministry of Eternal Life, but the earth would accommodate it. This same earth would be changed and adjusted to suit Eternal Life. When a man eats the veil, it would change his earth. It is imperative that we eat because there are many of us who will not be the bride but will be the man-child company. Both are not the same; even though both will eat the same food (veil).
All heavens are prepared with an equipment called judgment, but judgment is given because of mercy. Those heavens are mercy and they are mornings. Thus, Jesus is referred to as the merciful and faithful High Priest. It takes mercy to partake of heavens; it is God being merciful to one. Even after doing all that is required, one has to wait for mercy to enter God’s throne. If mercy does not call one, one cannot enter in. So, to say we are seeking for mercy is to say we are seeking for heavens -- the new heavens.
Heaven is made up of things; it is constituted of doctrine and teaching. A man can be made heaven and still be living on earth. Heaven wants to live on earth through men. This is why God is so particular about lifestyle (conversation). Women who are becoming heavens would raise children who are heavens. Such that when those children go to school, they are not overcome by the evil therewith, but rather even judge it.
When a man is merciful, such a one is showing heavens. The heart of such is being trained to dispense heavens. After a while, such a person would begin to manifest heavens. Then one would know that mercy can generate a planet. All the planets we have were generated by judgement, mercy and faith. “Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God” (Heb. 11:3). We must begin to trust this light and be strong in faith.
Blessings!
