35. And into His Throne

Audio Only





Before we continue with our awe-struck wonder at the deepest meanings of Christ Jesus inside of us, I want to say that in no way am I seeing or giving you the whole picture. I do say that I am giving you what God intends me to give now for us, for those who read this letter and hear God speaking to them through my little bit.

But God is big and His Church is big, and He is doing many different things through many different people. Our job is not to “figure out” the whole picture, but rather, to know Jesus as us in those things God has given to us. Our account is only that which we ourselves have received.

Such Incredible Depths. More than that, I am quite limited, for I have not enjoyed the companionship and the back and forth of others inside an equal flow of this Personal Spirit Word that I love. I wait on God for this present season of solitude and lack to turn into a season of many bearing the same Word.

Now, although I have mentioned Revelation 12:5 on occasion through my writing, this is the first time in my life that I have looked closely at the verse itself. I’m glad, for I would never have understood it before this moment. Yet now I am seeing such incredible depths, such unlimited expanse, for Revelation 12:5 is Romans 8:29 displayed in power in the heavens.

Two Topics. In the last lesson, we outlined five topics to cover in Rev. 12:5 before we could even consider discussing what “the manchild” is. We then covered three of those topics. In this lesson, we will consider the remaining two topics, seized into God – and into His throne, before arriving at a first attempt to know “the manchild.”

Of truth, the next lesson, “The Deepest Love” will be our larger attempt to know the meaning of all God’s Desire. In that next lesson, I also hope to show how Revelation 12 and Romans 8 are indeed parallel chapters, the heart and power of the Gospel.

Inside of God. “Seized into God” was the title of the last lesson, but the topic got bumped into this lesson. We are driving towards the ability to know what this “manchild” IS, that is, the deepest quality of Love inside of God.

First, “seized into God” is Hebrews 10:19-22 and the flip-side of being filled with all the fulness of God, both of which are infinitely BIG and beyond all comprehension. – God is love, and the one who dwells inside of love, dwells inside of God, and God dwells inside of him (1 John 4:16). These two things, dwelling inside of God and God inside of us are normal, Biblical, and true. They are what Jesus, our vast High Priest, causes to be for us.

Full Assurance of Faith. Second, this birthing, this being seized into, cannot be anything other than full assurance of faith. To put incorruptibility upon ourselves (1 Corinthians 15), that is, incapable of not knowing God, is an action of faith that is not consummated until the resurrection, yet it stands in absolute certainty now. We are inside of God, and we cannot be anywhere else. “Into His throne” is what God and we do together out from our being SEIZED inside of God.

But first we must attempt to comprehend this God inside of Whom we find ourselves.

What Is God? And here is where everything changes. I wrote this awhile back. – “Lord Jesus let me NEVER give to those who belong to you doctrinal facts over which to conjecture, but only you, the Living Lord Jesus filling their hearts with your glory that they might know You.”

What is God? Into What and Whom are we seized?

Everyone has each their own definition of God and of Jesus, yet none are like Him, therefore no one sees Him as He is. Some look for spiritual above-ness, some for power over circumstances, some for death to take them to “heaven” as if “heaven” is God, yet God remains not known.

The Knowledge of God. The manchild is the knowledge of God inside of creation. The manchild is the essence and meaning of what God is, but in such a way that all created things can now see and know their God. The manchild is the revelation of the Father in human form.

~ This is age-unfolding LIFE, to know You, the one True God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. ~

The LIFE coming out from the Church is the knowledge of God at His deepest core, God as He really is and means. Annie said – “It seemed as though He were bringing forth… a new being from His own person.”

Restoring What Was Lost. When we left the move fellowship, exactly twenty-five years ago, I lost something of great value. Through all the years since, I have sought God and waited on Him to restore out from Himself that which I lost. Twenty-five years is the time Abraham waited for Isaac to be born. Today, God has restored my understanding of what I lost, and, by His grace, the ability to call it forth.

John said that God is Word, God is Spirit, God is Light, and God is Love. Moses said that God is Fire, and David said that God is a Rock. John also said that the Spirit and the Word are as Water and Wind – or air. What is the CORE?

What Is Love? God is Love. But what is Love? Is Love fornication? Or is Love marriage?

The most important picture God gave of Himself inside of creation before sin and death entered is this. – Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh (Genesis 2:24). Paul added, “I am speaking of Christ and the Church.”

The God revealed through the manchild is not the God of outward displays of power, nor of high ‘spirituality.’ The God revealed through the manchild is the God of commitment to the gathering together, whatever the cost.

Showing God to You. Come with me into a local fellowship of believers in Jesus, living out from a deep assurance of their precious union with the Lord Jesus Christ, walking together in a daily commitment, regardless of all their human limitation and foolishness, loving one another with pure hearts fervently. – I have shown you God.

Those who Love the Father, those who are seized into God, those who share His Heart, have no other seeing or meaning or purpose. This ONLY revelation of the Father is their whole LIFE and all the sacrifice of their days. Birthing this reality into the human experience consumes them. – The zeal of Thy house has eaten Me up.

God Manifest in the Flesh. When Annie saw God in her vision taking something High and Holy out from Himself to be birthed inside of creation, the actuality of what she saw was one thing only. That one thing was reciprocal Love among believers in Jesus, right here on this earth, right now in this age, before the resurrection – that is, God manifest in the flesh.

Isn’t that what John said? – The one who dwells inside of love, dwells inside of God, and God dwells inside of him. Seized into God – seized into Commitment.

The manchild is Christ; Christ is a many-membered Body, members of one another. “This is My full completion, that you love one another, reciprocally.” Faithful and True.

Marriage Commitment. Let’s step back a bit, now. It really seems astonishing that this “manchild,” as significant as it is to God, would be mentioned only one time in Revelation. Yet that is neither possible nor true. The overcomers are the manchild. The manchild is THEY. The manchild is the Gospel, Romans 8:29 and John 14:20. The “two witnesses” and “the manchild” are the same.

Here is what that means for you and me right now. Even though the manchild is the deepest inward quality of God, that is Marriage Commitment, yet we are referencing more than two people but far fewer than 144,000.

Commitment Together. I am looking for individual people who will “step up to the plate,” so to speak, who will commit themselves, not to me, but to the pure Spirit Word flowing through me, that is, to the Lord Jesus inside of His passion towards His Church. And I will commit myself to each one of them reciprocally, submitting one to the other inside the fear of Christ.

That commitment together towards the Church is the Father made known; it is the knowledge of God; it is the manchild. I am speaking of those who are INCAPABLE of themselves, but place themselves UTTERLY into God, for Father’s sake.

Seized into God. God is a reciprocal Being. He gives Himself and then receives the same in return. “Being seized into God” is the gift of God Himself returning back to God, carrying us with Him. We share Hheart with God. Yet this God in whom we dwell is Love, not as fornication, but as Marriage Commitment. As we Love God, so we love one another. The Love of God revealed is a community of humans, walking together, loving one another with pure hearts, bearing with each other in commitment, regardless. Our ongoing relationship together reveals the deepest meaning inside of God, it is the Completion of the Gospel, the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Spirit and Word. The Throne is that place from which God and we together proceed out into the lives of all. Seized into God is Covenant; and into His throne is Kingdom.

But let us not consider “ideas.” Rather, let us speak the authority of God into the affairs of humans on this earth. Before we do that, I want to trace out two pictures again, so that we have clearly in our minds what is happening. The two witnesses out from God are Spirit and Word, coming forth from the Father and entering into the knowledge of all created things.

Out from Marriage. Word apart from Spirit is death, the tree of knowledge. Spirit apart from word is delusion. But Word is the Seed of God. Thus Spirit comes before Word to prepare it’s way, Spirit enables Word to be received, and Spirit follows after Word to confirm and establish it.

There is clearly something else inside this layout, though it is not yet mentioned. That something is FAITH, the woman that receives Word that she might bring forth LIFE. Spirit and Word are not the end result, but LIFE. And Life comes only through the Church.

Life that is God comes only out from Marriage.

The Church. For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns… You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will name. You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord… You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you (Isaiah 62:1-5).

What Broke My Heart. The other picture is the flow of Golden Oil, that is, the Flow of Personal Spirit Word, a Word that must be Pure, a Seed that is only of the Father.

The move fellowship of which I was a part numbered maybe between ten and twelve thousand people over time. Yet the ministry of that fellowship, a corporate ministry, knew them all and carried each one in their hearts before God. I know that the Spirit in that fellowship was pure, but the word was not. And it was the brokenness of the word that broke my heart. But it was the value, inside of God, of a corporate ministry that I lost when I left that fellowship.

God’s Passageway. How can a handful of people carry, personally in their hearts, a hundred million people? They cannot, nor does God intend such a thing. Of truth, it is God who carries all, yet He places us into His carrying where He wants each one of us.

It was five men in that fellowship who set me into a time of walking as an elder, five kind and gracious men who knew me well. Five can carry several hundred in their hearts, several hundred can carry 144,000, and 144,000 can carry 100 million, for God is always practical and Personal.

This channel is incomplete and ineffective, until a pure and Personal Spirit Word out from God is flowing through it.

A Corporate Ministry. We must define a “corporate ministry.” The word “corpus” is the Latin word for body, as in the Body of Christ. A corporate ministry means first, many together as one, and second, submitting one to the other in the fear of Christ. A corporate ministry is the quality of the relationship.

The concept of “unconditional Love” does have a place as part of Mercy, but it is not the meaning of God-Love. God-Love is RELATIONSHIP, reciprocity, back and forth, the deepest respect and the highest regard. It is a Marriage Commitment; it is what I knew firsthand in the move fellowship.

Passive No More. The manchild “seized into the throne” is not the number of individuals; it is the quality of the relationships. That quality of relationship, many moving together as one, reciprocal Love, submitting one to the other in the fear of Christ, committed for life, is what I mean by the next lesson, “The Deepest Love,” that is, the manchild.

Over the last few years, I have seen God begin to draw some together with me, along with great loss, but I know now that I have been passive. Let us be passive no more. Let us prophesy Christ. Let us call God into our world and into His Church, for we are seized into His Throne.

Many Draw Near. There is going forth from us right now a mighty whirlwind, a raging current of God, for the fires and torrents of God’s divine Being are unleashed into His Church, calling into Himself those whom He has chosen to be Love Revealed.

Some refuse to know this Mighty Whirlwind that is their God, but many draw near, many run with all their might into His knowledge. There is no fake “weeping over sins,” for their mouths are closed about themselves and they have cast themselves utterly into God, regardless.

They are caught in the power of devotion, and they would KNOW their God.

Turn Around. Inside of this devoted place, caught inside the energeoing power of God, they hear a mighty Word hitting them, as it were, upon the forehead, “TURN AROUND.” As they are spun around in response to this overwhelming declaration, the mind of good versus evil, of isolation and broken apart-ness, vanishes from them forever. In its place comes a seeing and a knowing beyond what they ever imagined before.

They see one another, and in seeing one another they KNOW that Life Forevermore is not “individual heavenly superiority,” but brethren dwelling together in unity.

Knowing God Knowing Them. The Mind of Christ seizes hold of their minds, and together they call an invisible God into God-known among them. The Passion of Jesus consumes their hearts and they KNOW that they must know one another, that a Mighty and Devoted God is known no other way.

As they take one another’s hands, knowing God knowing them, they bow to one another in the deepest respect and the highest regard. With trepidation and deep expectation, they draw from one another all the riches of Christ. In that moment, the Fires and Torrents of God’s Divine Being explode among them as has never been known before, for they are seized into God and into His throne.

A Church on Fire. Then, being utterly turned around, they look upon the Church, upon millions of believers in Jesus all across the earth, and in that moment they KNOW God. Out from their bellies, out from their gathering together, RIVERS flow, Rivers of Life, Rivers of Fire, Rivers of separation, Rivers of enclosure, Rivers of the knowledge of God, into this Woman on Fire, clothed with Jesus.

As they give themselves to this Church, to Christ Community, with no other thought in their hearts, there comes out from the Throne of God a Pure, Living, Personal Spirit Word, Christ Jesus, the All-Speaking of God, into the hearts and mouths of a CHURCH on FIRE.

And into His Throne. We are seized into God as a Covenant of Love; the Throne, then, is the going forth of that Love as the Kingdom. It is a pure Flow of Personal Spirit Word out from God that carries the knowledge of that Love, as golden oil, into the larger Church. That Flow requires a channel to reach the knowing of many, a ministry who walk together in a profound commitment to Word, to Spirit, and to the Church. Their love for one another, utmost respect and profound regard, is the deepest meaning of God revealed inside of creation; it is the manchild. We give ourselves utterly to that Flow.

The Mind of Life. The mind of the tree of good versus evil is, by nature, broken and scattered. Out from this mind comes the fantasy that eternal bliss is a bunch of individuals “going to” heaven. It is in this fake mind that all humans, including almost all Christians view “reality” right now.

The mind of the Tree of Life is entirely different. Through this mind flows the Love that is God, connecting utterly with brothers and sisters out from whom comes the same Love in return. This mind cares nothing for individual “superiority” and little for “bliss,” but rather gives all to know God inside of knowing one another.

A Sifted Life. God chose the path of my days, though I knew it not. He gave me experiences over years that were utterly out from Him and out from the revelation of Jesus Christ. And He pressed me with a word preached that was broken and that broke my own heart, for I needed to know the Father. Then He took me through a great sifting, pressed and terrible, pure and profound, and out from that sifted life, God has brought an understanding of Himself in what is real that could have come no other way, at least for me.

I now understand God’s meaning inside the move fellowship, at least as it pertains to me. In the next lesson, I intend to show you that same meaning inside of God.

Reading for Next Time. The next lesson is titled “The Deepest Love.” God does not Love except inside of Marriage Commitment. He does not bring forth illegitimate children. The manchild is that very Love of God made visible among a small number of people, people who are not “superior,” but rather, who are like all others, yet given utterly to Father. God-Love is Christian Community in commitment together. If I have left you thinking anything else, please forgive me.

And she brought forth a son, a boy who is about to shepherd all the ethnic families with a rod of iron, and her child was seized into God and into His throne. 

Let’s Pray Together. “God, our Father, we cannot know Your intention except we be caught together inside the whirlwind of Your Energeoing Power, inside the grip of Your profound Devotion. Seize us, Oh God, into Yourself, and into the revelation of Your Heart. We give ourselves to You as we are together with You, without reservation. Father, we belong to You.

“Father, we commit ourselves by the word of our hearts to that Pure Word You have given to us out from Yourself, the Lord Jesus, and to the overflowing power of Your Spirit who accomplishes all, that our lives might be devoted to Your Church, our brethren, millions of believers in Jesus all across the earth.

“Yet we cannot be alone, Oh Father, for many ministries of Christ, each doing their little bit, belong together with us, that we might walk together in the deepest reciprocal Love. God, our Father, let the mighty Power of our Devoted Spirit flow out in ever increasing waves, to gather together into Christ that ministry whose lives are given to be that channel for Christ Jesus into His Church.

“Father, we give You the travail of our lives, that You might have a wide-open door to Birth this Holy Thing out from Your own Being into a committed Marriage Relationship among many, pure inside of You. God, our Father, it is Your mighty Hour. Salvation belongs to You alone. Be Your Salvation now through us.”
