IS THE DIVINE
POTTER'S WILL SOVEREIGN?
I wrote this in waiting before
Father, then waited over a week until I got the go ahead to send
it out. So here it is. God Bless. SP.
The coming of the Lord is not external, but internal, within
you. It is not future, though it is ongoing and present tense
since the first century A.D. 11 Thess. 1:10-12. His coming is
not the end of the world, but is the end of our old world, and
the beginning of the new. "I will create a new heaven and a new
earth." You are that new heaven and new earth.
"If any man be in Christ he is a new creation, old things
have passed away, behold all things have become new."
The Father spoke to me that people today rejecting this word
are like the Jews of Jesus day. They were looking for their
Messiah to come, but rejected Him who stood in their midst
speaking to them.
In Christ we have a life that sings, it gives us a sparkle,
a buoyancy, a gladness within and without. You get it because
you are sure you are in the Father. In Him you go singing
through life. Ones life won't sing until Father lives and moves
within.
Christ has come to us, not to impose moral laws on us, but
that we may imbibe the full essence of Father as He is unfolded
in us. He is unfolding the absolute of His life within us. Life
works only in Father's truth. Christ is Father's way, truth and
life. Jn. 14:6. He is the issue of all life and nothing else
under heaven.
No one can mature in the kingdom of God unless they have
confidence in Him. Christians are anemic today because they have
not the abundant life of Christ flowing through them. The whole
creation has the mark of Christ upon it and within it.
The Father created all things through Christ, all things
that you can see, and that you cannot see.
"All things were created by him and for him." "He has
been appointed heir of all things." Jn. 1:3, Heb. 1:2. "For by
him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in
earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created
by him and for him." Col.1:16.
Father's will is wrought into the structure of all creation
and living things. And the will of every living creature is
linked to the loving Creator's Sovereign will. The purpose of
the Father and His touch is wrought into creation.
The Father's will is linked into the life of His creation.
Any other will is its own demise. Anyone not working in Father's
will wreaks its own ruin for a season until rebellion has run
its gamut. "You turn man to destruction, and then say,
Return, you children of men." Psalm 90:3.
We have an inner government guiding our life, not external,
though it is inwrought into the external also. But an external
will does not decide the result of departure from Father's will.
Some internal will rebels against His linked will. Father's
kingdom, plan, purpose and truth is wrought into the substance
of our life. A person doing his own will, breaking from Father's
linked will, breaks down inwardly, disintegrating spiritually,
and morally. All doing the will of the Father, whom the Father
is his center "Abideth Forever."
We were birthed to live in Father's moral kingdom, and we
cannot break the moral law of our Father's kingdom without
impunity. Anyone intentionally hurting another in His moral
kingdom hurts himself. "What so ever a man sows, that shall
he also reap." It is the Boomerang principle.
"He that loves his brother abides in the light, and
there is no occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hates his
brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not
where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes." 1
John 2: 10, 11.
One brother is in the light and illuminated because he
loves his brother. The other is in darkness because he
hates his brother. He does not know where he goes, his hate
brings spiritual decay into his character. His spiritual
atmosphere is darkness, his discipline is a
condition--blindness. The worst of conditions is within himself:
darkness has blinded his spiritual eyes. Discipline (punishment)
is within, it is inherent, not from without.
Deterioration is within. The very nature of unrighteousness
is deterioration, it is its own discipline (punishment) it is
grievous.
I speak to the spiritual. When one lives a dual life he cannot
feel related to the sum total of Father's reality. That one
thinks at cross purposes with Christ's life and himself too.
The kingdom of God is one with moral-spiritual principles
engraved in its grain that are unchangeable. The Father, Christ
and life are One.
The divine life, nature and character are the substance engraved
in principles of Father's essence, and reality. Thus bringing
into manifestation within us His New Name Being., which new
name, nature and character is conquering the universe through
us.
The coming/appearing of the Lord within us has unfolded new
meanings in Him, and in us. When the Spirit brings us new
revelation, He never lets us remain silent. There are
dispensational truths that must be discarded when new truths
arrive or are revealed. There is now a new awakening among
multitudes of believers world wide. I just got a letter and
video from a friend in China, of the house church movement
(underground), telling of changing the destiny of Chinese
worldwide. There is no stopping the Gospel of Christ, it is
conquering all nations.
This is a great awakening and also a painful one. In that we
are bidden to drop off teachings and traditions of no value. New
truth is spearheaded by those who are not fearful of the
powerful voice of tradition and challenges of her adherents.
Great multitudes of Christians are resting in the strong
arms of past conservatism , and the glories of bygone years.
This is the hour of those going on with the ever flowing Spirit
of Christ must leap over the impregnable walls built around
traditional doctrines. This is the time to be like a friend of
mine who came to our meetings, and said, "I have jumped fences
before, and I guess that I can jump another one." And the most
spoken of man in the Bible, David, said: "By you have I
broken through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a
wall." Psalm 18: 29. Many after coming out of the system, cling
to archaic teachings, forms and rituals, and erect those same
walls of confusion and decay again.
The present coming/appearing of the Lord the Spirit
is presently crowning and illuminating us with our inheritance,
our illuminate Father of Light Himself. We have joined hand in
hand with the angelic company heralding the arrival of the King
of kings and Lord of lords in His kingdom.
The Bridegroom's love call is sounding through all nations,
kingdoms and peoples. I have been in the heavenlies with Father,
His is "Greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell. His love
goes beyond the farthest star and reaches to the lowest hell."
His love leaps over every boundary set by men and devils.
Not only is "our God a consuming fire," His is Love, He, Love is
Consuming Love, transcending all time and space. Love consumes
all that is unlike Him. John the Baptist said of Him, "He
will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire; whose fan is in
his hand, he will thoroughly purge his floor, he will gather the
wheat into his garner: but the chaff he will burn with fire
unquenchable." Luke 3:16, 17.
In the burning processes of His love it certainly "purifies
the sons..." Until we are like Him. Oh, do we see Him as He is?
L-o-v-e which God is is unlimited in scope, omnipotence and
ability. The hell theory has been
dismissed by all knowing the Father intimately. But being
dismissed from this kingdom of love--an inner hell arises in any
not in union with Perfect Love in the form of conflict, inner
disharmony, neurosis and discord, even mental and physical
ailments.
Mans every thought, attitude and action brings one of
two things, loving harmony or discord. They bring a certain
degree of hell or harmony! There is nothing outside of men that
decides which it will produce. The source-the-seed-the very
nature of the thing itself brings on the results.
Unrighteousness and its penalty is one and the same thing-its
seed is in the thought, attitude and action. It has the
Boomerang principle in it. "What one sows is what one reaps."
One thinking only of himself only produces civil war within
himself. "Sow to the Spirit, and you reap life, sow to the
flesh, and you reap destruction."
One cannot run away from the moral law/principle of
Father's kingdom-for it is already engraved within everyone.
These laws of mans being are a part of Father's moral kingdom,
whose laws are self-
executing. The law of sowing and reaping is within all of
Father's whole creation, and the execution is certain.
Those who repent of sowing ill will to his neighbor,
Father's Grace turns the tide. This law of sowing and reaping is
His universal law. That is why no one can escape its execution,
good or bad. Humbling ourselves before our Loving Father in
repentance, and loving our neighbor as our self gets us out of
reaping spiritual, moral, physical/
mental/character decay.
Through the ages the church has lacked spiritual
enlightenment when the Father proclaimed a new day to them. They
clung to a dying past, their souls shriveling in famine. The
Good News was rejected along with the messenger as heresy, while
they were "rightly dividing the word of truth." They have to
make it fit into their reasoning. And today we see much
controversy on Bible interpretation.
Each new age carries in its veins the blood of
yesteryear. The new gives testimony of the errors and weaknesses
of the past. In the kingdom of God the "New Wine" will burst the
"old wineskins" of spirit-
less tradition. This message trumpeting Christ's coming in
the here and now is shaking the traditional wine skins. The lord
is come not to destroy those who claim the promises, but to
fulfill the promises of giving "a new heart," "a new song," "a
new name." He also demands a new faith, and a new commitment.
Divinely transformed lives receives the new life
Christ's coming within brings in His appearing and kingdom.
Jesus Christ is "coming in the clouds" in this hour of His
ingathering of all nations unto salvation. For their spiritual
fruit is to be gathered into His garner as wheat.
I am reminded of a letter I got from Norene Nichols just
two weeks before she passed to the invisible realm, close to 18
years ago. Quote:
"You sure are a tearer downer of the caricature of God."
This coming from a sister of her stature was a positive
compliment. Norene was one of the foremost writers of the 20th
century on the overcomers and sons of God. I first began reading
Norene's writings in 1962 when she was living in Hollywood.
Later she moved to a little desert community in Utah. She sent
me a picture of herself taken in her trailer house. What a
precious one Norene was-and is.
I look forward to seeing the traditional teachings of
error eliminated from the face of the earth. I don't preach
elimination, but Reformation.
Many are preaching the elimination of humanity, making our
Father look like a miserable failure. But not so, He like the
wise master builder spoken of by Jesus, sat down and counted the
cost. It cost Him His precious first begotten Son. Father had
the cure before the wound, the "Lamb slain from the
foundations." Rev. 13:8. He knew the end from the beginning, and
was never blind, or slipped up on, ever! He has never lost
anything, and never intends to. He is sovereign! And being
sovereign, means He (only), has power over all things, and
controls all, and every will is inferior to His will, and linked
to His will. The Divine
Potter's will is sovereign, and He doesn't ask His creation
of "clay" can
I form you thus, and thus? No, the creature does not make
the decisions.
"Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same
lump one vessel
for honorable use, and another for common use?"
Rom.9:21.
"I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have
compassion of whom I will have compassion." Rom. 9:15. Ryrie
study
Bible.
The Father so designed us to be His temple to receive and
express Himself through us. He comes to us and is our very life,
fulfilling His purposes through us, occupying, willing and
fulfilling His eternal purpose in us.
Father the Divine Potter purposed to unfold Himself in you
through Jesus Christ being formed in you. This may be through
the Word by revelation, and thus you become the living word. He
pursues our soul
for its agreement, and consent, for "how can two walk together
except they be agreed?" All who are in holy wed-lock with Christ
are of the Bridegroom--being His members.
"As a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons
marry you (New Jerusalem): and as the bridegroom rejoices over
the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you." Isaiah 62: 5.
Just as Jesus Christ married His mother, Mary, on the
Day of Pentecost, so do the sons in the Son (a Man in a man)
marry their New Jerusalem mother. It is all by the Spirit, the
flesh is exempt. The "woman clothed in the sun" (Son) in Rev. 12
is the New Jerusalem mother of us all. "Jerusalem from above is
free, the mother of us all." Gal. 5:26.
The "manchild" birthed of the "sun clad woman of Rev. 12
is the sons of God today. Christ Jesus is the "Tree of Life"
that the scripture and Spirit would reveal. myriads of religious
people have never bowed the knee to Christ's continuing
Lordship, that He may become their Source and Fountain of life
as scripture and Spirit plainly teaches.
Beloved, Oh, how people needs a fresh Spirit unfolding
within of Christ's appearing, and His unveiling universal
purposes for this New Day (day is inner illumination), nothing
to do with your Calendar, or
clock, or the sun rising and going down. Any church
activities not containing the Spirit Christ within it is of no
value. A new day has opened to us and we are bidden of the
Father to a new plane that gives new life in our observance of
His now appearing.
The new truth is radical move in light of the nominal
church teaching of Jesus coming to physically catch the saved up
to a far away heaven.
The kingdom of heaven is not place afar off, but a place of
intimate union with the King of heaven in inward illumination,
where all are living in Him with participation in Father and His
invisible reality. It is illumined seeing, where all becomes
living and operative in Spirit. Thus
Jesus Christ's coming/appearing is: The Lord's magnificent
unfolding within His body. "You are the body of Christ, and
members in particular." Therefore we are consciously identified
in Christ. :"As he is
so are we in this world."
The Lord brings attention that Paul's term: "Christ
Jesus" has the meaning of Him in His glorified form, and
synonymous of Him and his Christ Body. Him and His corporate
body. The Spirit Christ resides in us, and we are nearer to the
Lord than the disciples walking with Jesus
when in His physical form.
The present coming/appearing of the Lord and His kingdom
remains hidden from the masses of the world in particular and
from Christians
in general. But for those who recognize that the Lord has
come in the Father-within them, the kingdom of God is reality.
More real than visible
and natural!
This most glorious day the Father has ordained for His
sons has dawned and myriads of common folk are arising in the
heavenlies to "meet the Lord in the clouds." 1 Thess. 4:16, 17.
We have embarked on a new frontier with new realizations and
new expectations. We are now arising in celestial dimensions
with celestial beings, with celestial witnesses.
Clouds also means people. Heb. 12:1 speaks of us being
surrounded
with "so great a cloud of witnesses." We are surrounded by
all those hero's of faith written of in the 11th chapter of
Hebrew's. Jude writes of as: "Clouds without water, carried
about of winds..." That is, no anointing, or false anointing.
Jesus spoke of "false Christ's," or false anointed's. Paul spoke
of "Being carried about with every wind of doctrine..." Eph.
4:14. This is all kinds of teachings but void of Him who is the
Source and Fount of indestructible Life.
11 Peter 2:10-17 tells us they are ministries of the
word. No wonder so many don't want to use the word/Bible now
days. Peter gives pretty negative description : "They walk
after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, despise government.
Presumptuous are they, self willed...
spots are they and blemishes, sporting themselves with their
own deceiving's while they feast with you...eyes full of
adultery, cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls; they
have a heart exercised with covetous practices: children who
have forsaken the right way...are gone astray...these are wells
without water,...clouds carried about with a tempest." That is
heavy, Huh?
This speaks of ministries "without water," all dried up,
not having the "water of life" that Jesus spoke of in John 4.
"The water that I shall give him, shall be in him springing up
into everlasting life." Christ lives in you and is your very
life. To share Christ the anointed, one must have Him inside.
Many believers today look at God as outside. This Fountain of
Life must be inside you to give life.
There is an abrupt change from the old to the new, and
teachers and preachers must quickly change their stance to fit
in. Quickening their pace spiritually or fall clear out of
harmony with the rapid illumination of spiritual events which
are rising in newer and newer sequence-es. All that Father
summons into the new is transformed, making the nominal churches
look archaic every whit. Their functioning's, forms and rituals
are dim shadows of the New Day reality.
I see a chain reaction on the horizon that is to startle
the nominal believers with rapid change. The Rock Christ Jesus
is about to fall on their boundaries like a lion on his prey,
pulverizing them to powder. Ummm! The lion of Judah!
We are seeing some of their teachings take new turns
even now at the Lord's appearing and majestic presence.
Multitudes are catching sight of Zion as their heritage, and are
advancing meekly up her slopes
surveying their inheritance as they take hold of spiritual
reality in Holy Spirit.
Many are sensing being totally immersed into the
"Father of lights."
The luminosity of the Father and the Lamb is the light of
the city there of. Rev. 21:23, 25.
The Father is quickening us on a higher dimension and
anointing to teach and minister new life of His kingdom. He
says, "Enter into the fullness of the new day, hasten your
steps, quicken your spiritual pace and be not slack concerning
these great and precious promises, for the receiving of them is
life and health, joy and peace in Yah." He speaks to
all procrastinator's now!
God spoke to the fathers in olden times by the prophets.
Today He is speaks to us in His Son Jesus Christ. Heb. 1:1, 2.
It is written that His Spirit within will teach you all things.
And that you need no man to teach you. Beloved, if He who is
heir of all things speaks to you from within, that is greater
than visions and dreams. Though they are proper and in order,
and are promises to us.
The unfolding of Christ is within and is ongoing, now as
well as future. Saints, you are to put on immortality and
demonstrate an incorrupt able life while walking on earth. Jesus
revealed the potential
of your glory on the mount of transfiguration. All who are
imbibing these truths are overcoming, putting on Christ's new
name character
which is required (as I have said before) that you may
function in this momentous new day. (day signifying light).
Arise now, meet the Lord in His new name coming and presence,
that you may bear His New name character. Rev. 2:17.
Jesus said, "I was sick and you visited me" etc. Matt.
25:35-40. I am hearing from many that are sick, and sensing many
more who are afflicted with great illnesses, and Christ is at
the same time ill in you. I see it my role to visit you with
this writing as I hear His voice crying to me from your sick
bodies saying, I am ill, I need loving visitation."
Beloved, these illnesses are not borne so much by the
believers who love the Lord as much as they are by Him. He is
the Lord the Spirit in whom we live, and "He is touched by the
feelings of our infirmities."
Everything that you feel, He is concerned about, it is
personal to Him!
He bears our sorrows, and shares our grief's in Himself.
Do we see Him hungry, thirsty, in prison, naked and
sick? It is He in all your circumstances. "In as much as you
have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done
it unto me." It is given to us to feed the hungry, come to those
in prison, clothe the naked, give water
to the thirsty. Spiritual as well as physical. His
inheritance is in the saints.
"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened,
so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are
the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints." Eph.
1:18.
Our Father's inheritance in the saints are of great
import, and He will
guard it all the way to the finished product in Himself.
Don't you love Him?
