Programme: Writing the Vision Prayer Meeting (Day 2)
Date: Tuesday, 13th February 2024
The purpose of the 1988 Camp Meeting prophecy is for majestic things and things of great importance. Things of great importance are the things of great tidings of good. It is the great tidings. There is the majestic tiding and then the great tidings. It is tagged as great because there is something great that is of note for mankind. It is something God sees as greatness; a man is not great in the sight of God without this thing. The last part of the prophecy says, “And Michael himself on certain occasions when those majestic things, those things of great importance concerning the last days [are being revealed], he himself will come and make himself known unto many and bring them blessings from God.”
The blessings of God are tied to these things. From this we see that the highest ministry of the angelic is the ministry of thing; all the angels are angels of tidings. According to tidings and according to things, we see that the angelic status is graded by God according to the tidings they have a hold on; it is not all angels that can handle all gospels. A dominion or principality and power cannot be sent to handle the tidings of everlasting life or the great news of God.
Spirit is not every material in the spirit, even though they are spiritual, that God calls spirit. It is not all of the angels that are referred to as spirits. There are materials/things that can make one spiritual and those that can make one a spirit. Though those materials or things are spiritual, spiritual things have grades; they count in different qualities in the spirit.
Hebrews 1:7
“And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, And his ministers a flame of fire.”
Angels who are spirits take spirit from God. Angels who are flames of fire can handle fire. Fire is spiritual.
There are two allocations or two types of materials in good tidings: the first material is life and the last material is fire. Life here is righteousness. Life in itself is the first spirit of Christ, then the next spirit is fire.
Luke 3:16-17
“John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: [17] Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.”
At the end of His baptism, the chaff will be off the wheat, then He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire. The spirit of Christ is in two folds; first He would baptize with the Holy Ghost. This baptism with the Holy Ghost is different from being filled with the Holy Ghost. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is not the baptism of tampering with nature which we see in Acts 2. It is the incoming of the Holy Ghost in believers to prepare us for the baptism of the ministry of Christ. Whosoever has not journeyed in the spirit might not comprehend this.
In scripture, it is described as baptisms. Baptisms are deeper than we have known. There is the baptism in the milk of the word. To be filled with the Holy Ghost is not the only baptism in milk. There are baptisms in the experience of the Spirit around the milk of the word. The apostles did not just learn milk from Jesus. Though their spirits were dead, their souls grew to become apostles of Jesus. It is only Jesus who can do that. He is the only one who can grow someone whose spirit is not regenerated.
The summary of full milk is faith in the Lord Jesus, and this includes all manners and attitudes of faith. The crux of the message of faith in the Lord Jesus includes a lifestyle in the spirit. There is a lifestyle of the HolyGhost which is allocated for believers who are regenerated. Few Christians do well in the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost will build people in the first milk allocation, but the day the Holy Ghost begins to speak Christ to a person marks the beginning of another baptism. This does not negate the involvement of the Head of the Church. It is Jesus that is actually baptising people with His spirit through the Holy Ghost.
Romans 8:1
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
Walking in the spirit is baptism. When the Holy Ghost begins to teach Christ, He is teaching the name of the Son. He does it for the Son. The first baptism is Holy Spirit baptism, which is milk. The allocation of teachings in foundational milk faith are teachings of the Holy Ghost. The name of the Holy Ghost according to Matthew 28 does not refer to the eternal name of the HolyGhost.
The apostles were apostles of the Holy Ghost until Paul began his new apostolic ministry. Paul became an apostle of Christ. The first apostolic assignment was that he and Barnabas became apostles of Christ. They began to herald the name of the Son. It was when they had been made apostles of Jesus Christ that they were able to write the epistles. All epistles were written under the commission of the apostolic calling of Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 3:1
“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus…”
John 17:3
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
Jesus is first of all an apostle of God and He is also the apostle of the only true God. Jesus did not start His apostolic ministry from Eternal Life. Rather, He began with the revelation of His Father. This is what it means to declare the name of the Father among the brethren. This name is the first name of the Father. Jesus is an apostle of the true and the only true God.
There is hardly a full or sound apostle of the milk of the word. The people that bore these offices were those fathers in the USA— people like T.L Osborn and Kenneth Hagin. Keneth Hagin went deeper than the rest of them. The prophetic ministry of Hagin went farther than the apostolic calling of many. Despite the things Hagin taught, he never called himself an apostle. It was Oral Roberts who said loudly at a camp meeting that Kenneth Hagin was an apostle.
The prophetic office in the milk allocation was a different kind, it was seen in people like Stephen. The Lord said that no one would be anointed like those early apostles. One might wonder how Apostle Peter and the other apostles that were with Jesus could be more anointed than Paul. The reason is that they were anointed with the nature of meekness. They never minded that God gave an allocation of the word to Paul. Instead they all submitted under him. Even Paul had to acknowledge that they were apostles before him. He knew that it would not be ethical to disregard them
The name of the Holy Ghost was preached well by Peter and the twelve apostles. It was preached to the fullest. It is a course in the Spirit. That is why one needs to feed on Hagin. All those things are in the Holy Ghost. Hagin did not finish this allocation by teaching. There are things that the apostle Peter knew. To be able to preach Jesus well, one must have been with Jesus. Even Kenneth Hagin could not align the milk well without Jesus’ coming.
The fact that one talks about the things of meat does not make such more than an apostle of the milk of the word. It is not in the vocabulary, but in the material within each person. Many people just play around the meat but they cannot chew and break it. If they can chew and break it, they would be able to teach it. Such people cannot penetrate the meat allocation because their minds and souls are at the milk level.
To make that shift from milk, one must change the way or the path. What makes one a meat being is not just the knowledge. Even when one sees the way of meat, it does not mean one has entered it. For instance, a meat person must have more patience than a milk being. Such a person should not refer to waiting as the oppression of the devil; that path is difficult for a milk soul.
It is by ways that growth is determined. A minister who is teaching the word of righteousness without shifting is one in whom ways have been dealt with. Kenneth Hagin had meat way but he taught milk because God removed the knowledge of the meat from him. If God had allowed him, many would have drawn back, saying he was contradicting what he had once taught.
Matthew 3:12
”Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.“
This fan is the Holy Spirit. When Jesus holds the fan, it blows the wind. That is when Jesus sees those who have been weaned from the milk, ready to be led.
Romans 8:1
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
Immediately the message of Christ Jesus comes to a believer, a peculiar work is introduced to his life. This is the point where some people tamper with words in the Bible because it is not according to their way. Such people are either babes or the wicked. They edit the Bible because they cannot endure it.
Romans 8:2
”For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.“
As Christ is in Jesus, so is sin and death in Satan. Satan is a priest, a high priest. An angel is a minister. Angels can teach lines. Men of old in presence were taught by angels; they brought thoughts to them. Abraham’s spirit was dead but he was able to join forces with the forces of heaven, including Moses. All that Moses learnt was spirit. Moses brought down a cherubim by waiting and learning what he did not know, and he never argued. That makes him meek.
Moses had no single proof of what he was learning. As an 80 year old man, he was going out to look after the sheep of his father-in-law and he never argued with that life arrangement. Moses never had the Holy Ghost. The angel that appeared to Moses was the one who drove him from Egypt. After his birth, the angel kept him by the waters, put him in Pharaoh's house and then watched him for forty years and made sure he made a mistake that drove him out when it was time.
Angels know how to work for God. They are masters of lines. They can also lead. God led Israel by his angel. Angels led the congregation of the people. In the New Testament, we are not led by angels but by the Holy Ghost. This is because leading is not from outside, it is from within and upon. However, angels can watch because they are a copy of the original. They can be allowed to oversee the leading of the flock with the Holy Spirit.
Angels know things about us. They know the wife a believer should marry, or the job he should take. The angels were watching Moses’ life to orchestrate his path so that he would not have made a mistake of going to the wrong place. If he had missed his path, he would have lost the calling and Israel would have been doomed as there was no provision for another Moses. God can rely on a man and not think of another, putting everything on the man He chooses.
Moses being built was equal to the rest of the children of Israel being built. He was equivalent to the rest of the congregation. He was their covering and shelter; he was everything to them. We should not play with and negate the ministry of angels. Our battle on earth has been against one major angel that left heaven. We should not leave after hearing this kind of word.
Jesus will begin to baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire; the purpose is to make children of God leave flesh completely. The work of Jesus with the Holy Ghost is for us to get into the Kingdom. This work begins when one is about entering the Kingdom. There is a place one gets to as a milk student entering into the tutelage of the Spirit of Christ outside the Kingdom.
When they can lead one by the Spirit of Christ outside the Kingdom, the Holy Ghost moves His manner with us higher and begins to teach us Christ; this is because the allocation of the name of the Son has begun. The day we see Christ fully is the day we are free. A free person is a person that no longer has chaff around him; the flesh skin of his soul is off. Nothing accomplishes this but the fire we encounter when we get into the sanctuary.
1 Peter 1:7
“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ…”
There is an appearance of the Lord without revelation, but there is an appearance with revelation.
Malachi 3:1
”Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.“
We begin learning Christ and continue this learning until we enter into the Kingdom. Jesus separates us from the people of the flesh, then we have life and also become holy.
2 Corinthians 6:17-18
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, [18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
One can come out from among flesh and be separate. After that, we would learn to not touch the unclean; then the Father can receive us. The Father cannot father us when our soul has not been unclothed of chaff. Satan wore every soul with a garment of chaff that is not easy to be removed. The cloth that is not easy to go is the one tied to blood, or the life of Satan. It takes time to see a wheat, because no chaff will enter into the holy of Holies; it must be pure wheat. Garner is the place of the dealing of God for life everlasting. The Lord does not baptize people with fire at the point of new birth.
Malachi 3:1
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Jesus said John was the first messenger here who prepared the way. The Lord will not come anywhere except to His temple. What makes some people the temple of the Lord is that they are full Christ. That is the sanctuary. The messenger of the covenant will come into His temple, and it is not every person that can stand when He comes.
Malachi 3:2-3
”But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: [3] and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.“
This is so that they can assume a spiritual duty of ministering spirit unto the Lord. This is what apostle Peter called the spiritual sacrifice that is acceptable unto God (1 Pet. 2:4-5).
The Living Stone is the Messenger of the covenant and His temple are the lively stones. These are not those who just live. ‘Lively’ is different from ‘live’. ‘Lively’ refers to Christs that are being excited or one who is fully demonstrating the life. Someone can have life and not be lively. Only lively stones can endure the fire. The baptism will come upon the sanctuary saints that are lively.
Lively stones are stones of charity; they are of the fire of Christ, the heat realm. That is why it is those in the Holy Place that can take the unquenchable appearance of the Lord. The fire of the Most Holy is to convert them and make them children; and also to birth them and make them new born babes.
1 Peter 1:22
“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently…”
This unfeigned love of the brethren is charity. This is where we must be until the High Priest comes. We are being built up to accommodate the Living Stone. When He comes, the house will burn and experience the conversion of babies. There are metals, stones and silver according to Malachi. At the end, they will become gold and silver. No gold and silver goes into purification and retains the same size. The reduction makes them new and fine. They are fine and smaller. That is the ministry of the fire.
The Messenger of the covenant does not appear until during the fire season. When we are still being baptized by the Holy Ghost, He does not appear. It is in the season of fire that He is invited; and only lively stones can invite Him, showing that they are ready to endure presence. This is the purpose of the whole chapter of Hebrews 12.
Hebrews 12:29
“For our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 12:9
“Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?”
These are holy brethren that are living and are in the sanctuary season. This was their last realm. The Lord of fire was about to visit them. This was why the writer was writing about the season of trial.
Hebrews 12:5-6
“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: [6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”
The Father will not receive any son until such has been scourged. This was a crucial season for the Hebrew church, as it was the season of the appearance of the Lord. The Lord will not tarry, He will come. We should not draw back because the Lord will come. They were waiting for Him and the Lord was coming to their midst.
Hebrews 10:37-39
“For yet a little while, And he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. [38] Now the just shall live by faith: But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. [39] But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”
There must be a birth before the saving of the soul will take place. There must be a fire-proving that will birth one and gather such unto salvation. The entire Most Holy is for the saving of the soul. The High Priest who is also a minister of the Sanctuary will come to the Sanctuary to take those who are meant to be saved into the place where they will be saved. Where they will be saved is the place the scripture refers to when it says, “Let us come boldly…”.
Hebrews 4:16
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
Hebrews 10:19-20
“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, [20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh…”
To come to this place is to come to the throne of grace; it is coming into the Holy of Holies. A soul cannot handle spirit until such has handled fire. One cannot handle spirit until he has been proven to take lively things of fire and can have life. Christ is life, He is fire. There is a season that every christ-soul should be burning; that is when we are made a flame of fire. To burn is the nature or attitude of the genetics of the soul. During burning, the cell gene of our soul is undergoing an excitement. The soul would be excited beyond Christ to attain a burning state. That is how They purify us. When the Lord Jesus burns, the heavens and the earth will flee; they will pass away.
2 Peter 3:12
”Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”
When a metal is given a speed higher than it and allowed to pass through some forces, it will pass away. We saw in scriptures that some stars fell and began to burn. So as we ascend, we should be burning. We are about to move into the realm of the divine. Everything that ought not to be in us will be dealt with so we can enter into that place where we will be so greatly saved.
Hebrews 12:28-29
“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: [29] For our God is a consuming fire.”
God's eye can move anything. The heavens and earth fled at the unveiling of His face, meaning that He excited it (Rev. 20:11). He purposely excited it to dissolve it. However, this excitement is not to dissolve us; rather, it is to make us remain. We gain energy as we are exposed to the Lamb, and we begin to see our genetics; our cells will change and begin to burn. When it is excited beyond normal, it has to gain speed, then there will be evidence that we are burning. Part of the evidence would be that some things will not matter to us anymore; they are gone because we are burning. This is where we make peace with God. It is a ‘peace’ thing. Certain things we are holding will be burnt as we gain speed from the Lamb.
There are two tidings: good tidings and good tidings of good (Isa. 52:7). When we are being taught good tidings, the intention is so that we come to peace. Peace is not what one starts with, as there is the beginning of peace which is faith.
Romans 5:1-2
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: [2] by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
When we are thrust into faith, our soul is trained to get faith genes—we have begun our peace journey. When being justified by faith, we have peace with God. It is not enough to be justified by faith, we should further go into hope. It means justification takes one to hope; then what is ahead is peace with God. The nature of people who have come to peace is charity. Charity is greater than faith and hope; they are tidings, they are spiritual materials.
Spirits are things; that is why it is called gladness. The good tidings of good are glad tidings (Rom. 10:15). It is glad or joy because they are spirits. Fire is anticipation or excitement to be a spirit. Joy is an ‘excited’ peace. God has things. The preaching of the good news is the preaching of things – the giving of peace. While the preaching of gladness is the preaching of joy or spirit.
Ezekiel 36:26
“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.”
‘New spirit’ is the flame, it makes us spiritual. Fire means spiritual. Fire is an attitude – it is excited in its behavior. Fire is spiritual. ‘Spirit’ is an attainable perfect state of a matter, such that it can never be converted again. It is an arrival of a state that a matter will attain and it cannot go back because it is complete; there is no more space. Such is the nature of elements.
There are elements that react better with each other, based on the nature of their internal configuration. They form a bond with each other to complete themselves. Materials react with one another because they are seeking a complete structure – duplet or octet. The tabernacle is an empirical table. A complete nature is either by 2 or 8. Immediately one attains 8 or 2, it is complete. When it goes beyond 2, it would be very dangerous.
We are complete in Him (Col. 2:10). Completion means that we are spirits. A spirit is full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. Such does not need any reaction; spirits are sovereign. So it is with spiritual tidings – they are materials that make us complete; they have power. We will behave ‘complete’ or ‘full’.
Blessings!
