Seeing the Quickened Order of Work

Transcript Summary
- A will is that which generates a world. The giving of a will is the coming of the world of that will to us. Therefore, will is the key to the participation of the world of God or the world coming out of God. The Christian world is not necessarily all the world of God. Satan constantly interferes in the world that God is birthing around Christendom because he wants to pollute it.
- Satan also has a will and some people will be held captive by it. The will of Satan is responsible for the birth of the children of Satan. The will of Satan is a lustful program, and it secretes lust. That will is a power of lust. Lust runs Satan’s will, therefore, lust births his will.
- Satan was abiding in the truth but he came out of truth. Truth means God. Therefore, he was not abiding in God and he left God (John 8:44). You have to be in God to find God. He was of a class of angels who were actually angels of God or angels of truth.
- All angels have truth. This is why an angel told Daniel that he would show him that which is noted in the scripture of truth (Dan. 10:21). Angels understand the agenda of truth and they know some things that are key. Most of what we call ‘end time’ things like the ‘seventy weeks’ came by an angelic manifestation, and they are all in the scripture of truth. This means Satan also understands truth.
- Satan is so crazy about worlds. He watches for worlds that are coming and makes plans to copy them, so that he can kill any world that is coming out of the visitation of God.
- When a world is falling into weakness, it is fading away. Many times, what we call “moves” are the birthing of worlds, but after a time, they get weaker. This shows that this present world is fast disappearing.
- The church world can master programs and build systems. When there is a world and a system is already built, the system runs itself. When something has become a world, it is easy to be trapped in it. It is very easy to break through in the church world. Someone can sing a song and have a breakthrough, or a minister can be caught up in his world, thinking he is being validated or rejected.
- The reason for a world that is infested or that has the virus of lust is to capture those who are doing obedience in the right perspective, in order to stop them from obeying. It is so that those who are obeying the order of the world can seduce those who aren’t. What the world is offering is not the promise.
- A world is a visible manifestation of a will. A world is the interpretation of a dome over a will, which is kingdom. The will generates the dome. Satan’s power is his will and the generation of his world or dominion; that is his attractive force. He creates an attractive domain that can pull people. His world creates things that look lively, but Jesus is coming to crumble every world that is not His.
- We are sensitive to the glory of this world, and we love it. When Satan coats anything with the glory of this world, it is tentative; therefore, it is called vain glory. We should not be seekers of vain glory but of the true glory. Vain glory can be satisfying but it leaves people feeling empty.
- Satan wraps himself around us because he wants to stop the growth of the Kingdom. He hates the increase of the Kingdom. He is attacking us because he does not want people to come into the Kingdom. Satan is afraid because as the world of God grows, this world or this message will expand and many people will flow into it.
- Our heart state towards those who want to stop this message from reaching men should not be vindication, but mercy. This is so that none of us will miss it and so that the long-suffering of God, which is salvation, will reach all men. Everybody in the body of Christ will receive the visitation of salvation.
- Diotrophes (the spirit) will be judged. The problem of Diotrophes was the love of preeminence. The problem of Satan is that he loved preeminence, that is what made him to give birth to another kingdom. Satan left heaven because he wanted preeminence. Preeminence is the foundation of hell.
- God created habitats and put creations in them. Heaven is the world of angels. The angels were made with their world; they entered their world as they were raised. Adam had a world around him and he had an entrance; that was why he was crowned with glory and honour (Ps. 8:6). World is kingdom. Entrance into a dominion is what you are made into, not what you are created for. Creation is like the hardware, to be made is the software (operating system) for the interpretation of your world.
- In Genesis 2:7, man became a living soul, whereas in Genesis 1, man was not yet a living soul. If he became, it means he was something before. Full expression came when God breathed into his nostrils.
- (1 Corinthians 15:45). It is not easy to see when Jesus was made. It happened in the twinkling of an eye. Jesus paid the price for speedy work. Jesus lived in a way and manner for reward to come instantaneously. Jesus lived for a reward on earth. They put His resurrection and glorification together. He was born of God, made a quickening spirit and made so much better than the angels.
- Hebrews 1:4 gives us an overview of what Jesus was made into. Jesus will take us through the process of being made like this. Jesus was first made a little lower than angels, which means Jesus was living on earth at the pedigree of a living soul, but He was not a living soul even at that time. Jesus was a spirit even on earth. That spirit in His blood was what God needed for atonement, because it is everlasting. So, when God raised Him up, God gave Him something more than everlasting; His blood attained Eternal Life.
- When Jesus was raised from the dead, He had a superior soul than the one He had before He died. His soul became a quickening spirit. The difference between a quickening spirit and an everlasting spirit is that the everlasting spirit will last, it cannot be destroyed; it gives life that is indestructible. A quickening spirit is more than a life-giving spirit. That word quickening is so used not because it quickens or gives life but because of what it is made of — a quality of spirit that God is.
- Quickening connotes something quick. It means the life is quick. When Jesus says “behold I come quickly,” it means that He is coming eternally (Rev. 22:12). It means that the life is faster than works. It means the reward is quick. God does not just come, He comes quickly. Reward makes one quick. Jesus’ coming as a reward is quicker than His works. He is the rewarder and also the reward. He is quick and can make us quick.
- (Revelation 22:12). There is a relationship between everlasting life and Eternal Life. You will not be given a reward without work. No one can attain Eternal Life without everlasting life. What Jesus will give as reward will be according to work. Work is life. We work to have life. Work is very important. When Jesus says “I know thy works” (Rev. 2:2), He means “I know thy life”.
- God’s work is His Son. As a Son who is a work, He will come to us. The Son comes, but Eternal Life who is also a Son is a reward. That Son called reward cannot come if you are not finished. It is only a finished work that can see the speed with which He comes when He comes as the reward. The fullness of everlasting life can see quickly. It is only an everlasting son that can see an eternal son.
- It will take all the prophetic stature of works to see the Eternal One. You must be a servant and a prophet. You must be a prophet to be able to see quickly. To see quickly is to see the reward.
- Jesus has our eternal essence/status in Him, which is called reward. There is a ‘you’ that you have not gotten that is with Him. Jesus is with His reward to give according to our work. This means that the eternal status is not of the same degree, because not every eternal son will be the same; it will be according to works and only God knows how works are judged.
- Works have height. The value of your work is according to your spiritual texture. The strength of your work is the strength of your reward. You cannot carry a reward higher than what your work can carry.
- (2 Corinthians 4:17). Everything about everlasting life is God’s work; it is suffering. One suffers long, endures to the end and is saved, then the glory of Eternal Life will be granted. So the equation to eternal comes from everlasting. Afflictions work something eternal. Light affliction is what you go through to get everlasting life. It is a training in everlasting life. The purpose of life is to see Him quickly.
- (2 Corinthians 5:1). There is an eternal building in the heavens. This is an eternal house. The physical house must be dissolved and give way for the other. Then when work is finished, the reward is life. The reward of the work of God is the Son of God which is Eternal Life. Eternal Life is also a person and it is with God.
Blessings!
