13. As Seven Doors

© Daniel Yordy – 2020

Now, let’s pause a moment, for I find myself going in a direction I have not known, and I must bring into our picture what has caused this opening of understanding.

In order to get the meaning of each door right, that is, what, exactly, that door is, I created some tables laying out these seven doors, what the door is and what it means closed versus what it means opened. Here is that chart.
 

Humility - Arrogance	Respect - Contempt	Honor – Dishonor	Love – Death	Faith – Refusal	Honesty - Dishonesty	Thanksgiving - Accusation
Being	Purpose	Completion	Source	Life	Image/Face	Judgment
Pro-Determined Symmor-phosed with.	Called according to His set-forth Purpose.	Whom He has called, He has already…	Those whom He Pro-Knows.	Those who love God – out from the same womb.	With the image of His Son – Already glorified.	Synergeoing with God – turning all to goodness.
Likeness	All-Carrying	Atonement	Ekenosis	Energeia	Compassion	Synergeia
Two types of being – a God who comes into union with human weakness to show Himself to all – or – a separated and aloof heavenly but formed “creature” who despises & condemns human weakness – you are NOT like Christ.	Two patterns, motives, or purposes – to lift up and carry from beneath, through weakness, all the way into life – or – to command by rules as from “above” and to punish all infractions – to a world of good and evil forever.	Two views or causes of completion – a completion that we are just like Jesus now caused by an absolute atonement – or – back then, up there, someday, a completion we cannot know in the flesh because the atonement is so small and limited.	Two fountains or sources, that is, two “Gods” – living in and coming out from Love – or – living in and coming out from ourselves, the real meaning of Death.	Two lives or two energeias – receiving God Seed  as our energeia, calling everything in life as God with me for the sake of others – or – refusing to know Word in the heart, calling everything in life as God against me because of me.	Two images or faces – the face of a real human, even in agony, drawing God and others together inside of Mercy – or – every pretending face, hiding in self rightness, hurling ridicule and blame at others for the justification and solace of self.	Two judgments – a river of life in all that it costs, seeing all things good, extending forgiveness to all – or – a river of death that pretends no cost at all, but sees all things evil (including Christians) and condemns all.

As you can see, there are seven doors in this passage of God-Through.

Being/Likeness – Purpose – Completion – Source – Life/Energeia – Image/Face - Judgment

Here in a line, these are just words. As we go through the next seven letters, we will see just how profound what God is doing in our lives really is.

You see, I had first thought that the first Door was Image, but creating this layout required me to place Image as Door 6, which left Likeness or Being as Door 1. Add to that realization the present teaching on the Tabernacle, that is, the seasons of learning what living inside the Holiest, inside of God, really means, and suddenly, all this becomes far more profound than we have ever considered.

When you received Jesus as the only life you are, you became something quite different in your being and essence, far beyond what you knew at the time.

I want the next seven letters to be compact, with all of them following the same layout. For that reason, I inserted this letter in order to ramble around just a bit more to discover more of these wonderful things in the meaning of these seven Doors. And so I might repeat myself just a bit as we go through them.

 I am, at this same time, writing and teaching our seasons inside the Holiest prior to our going forth as Christ in His Church. As I have moved that outline around in order to fit our actual approach to the things in the Holiest, unknown to me, these seven doors and the things of the Holiest were lining up perfectly.

It should not surprise us that God is opening to us things never before known. Our turning around inside of God is the greatest honor we could give to Jesus and His sacrifice, and our desire to call our own hearts by God’s, that we might be His travail for the sake of all who belong to Jesus, is the greatest honor we could give to Father and to His receiving what He desires.

And it is most wonderful that we bear no qualifications, for we have done nothing more than stumble into these things as we have followed our hearts to where we want to live – inside of and for Father’s Heart.

Our first season in the Holiest is to learn Christ our life, but we cannot do that unless we accept that God created us of Jesus’ same kind. Two cannot enter into union together except they be the same kind.

Our second season in the Holiest is to grapple with the reality that we are not actually inside the Holiest unless we have also taken our brethren in with us, that is, we cannot call ourselves by Christ except we call all other Christians the same.

Our third season in the Holiest is to place the Atonement upon the Mercy Seat as the absolute foundation upon which we stand, that our salvation is finished and complete.

Then, our fourth season in the Holiest is to turn around and to sit down upon the Mercy Seat, to know that Father is with us in all things, that we ARE filled with God and that He is sharing our life with us. We are able to do such a thing only as we live utterly inside of Jesus. Yet here we now see our fellow believers in Jesus, piled up in the Altar of Incense, unwilling to enter.

Our fifth season in the Holiest is to learn what it means to share Hheart with God, to have the same Covenant written upon our hearts that is also written upon Father’s Heart. We are taught of God what the Ekenosis is and means, that is, how it is that God is manifest in the flesh.

Our sixth season in the Holiest is to learn what it is to be just like Jesus in the setting forth of our souls for God’s people, in joining Father and others together inside the agony of our own hearts.

And now, our seventh season inside the Holiest is to gain the Eyes of Fire by which we see all things as God sees them. This is the season of complete forgiveness passing across all the story of our lives. This is the final Door of the Entrance of God.

What I mean to say is this. You and I, where we find ourselves right now, are completing the opening of Doors 6 & 7.

Door 6 is taking on the full identity of the Lord Jesus, that is, setting forth our souls for the sake of our brothers and sisters all across the earth and throughout the heavens, that inside of our willingness, God and they might meet together in peace.

And Door 7 is learning the speaking of Christ that calls God into being seen and known inside of and as all, that is judgment going out in speaking and seeing all things good.

In the Tabernacle Teaching, I place knowing our precious union with Christ as our first season in the Holiest, then, second, taking our brothers and sisters into the same place with us. Before continuing on into the Ark, we spent a season knowing the Mercy Seat, just how profound and complete the Atonement really is.

You see, we cannot know our beginnings until we have first become settled absolutely in our completion. Inside the Ark, then, we learn that our source is and has always been God, His thoughts concerning us spoken by Jesus and becoming our every present moment.

And the thing is, I can trace each of these four Doors through my years of writing these Christ our Life letters, in this order, with our discovery of the Pro-Knowing of God happening in 2017 with the writing of Symmorphy IV: Covenant. In fact, the entrance of knowing the energeia of God as our life force came to us at the same time. And so we spent a season in the learning of what these two doors mean opening to us.

Then, in the writing of The River of Life in 2019, we learned the meaning of setting forth our souls for the brethren, just like the Lord Jesus Christ. And in doing so, we discovered that we are and have been just like Him, especially from the moment we received Jesus as our only LIFE.

You see, we are learning the meaning of these seven Doors, the seven virtues of Christ proving Himself inside of us, just as we are tasked with completing the final Door, which includes bringing the forgiveness of Christ, our judgment, to all whom we have known in our lives. As I am doing this in the writing of my own life story, I am setting the same for you, that you do the same in your life story, as God leads you (which will be unique and personal to you.)

We can see clearly that Thankfulness and Forgiveness are two sides of the same thing, our sending forth of judgment upon all.

It is only by completing the seventh Door flung wide-open to God that God can begin to teach us what it means to be a Caller, that we might call God into the knowledge of all.

So, let’s look at each of these doors and why I have called it as I have. I want to keep this explanation simple because we will expand on each door through the next seven letters.

Door 1 “Being” has to do with what we are. And what we are is directly related to what God is. All who have decided that God and man are mirror opposites and live by different substances, cannot accept either our being made just like Jesus or Jesus coming into union with us as we are. To accept union with Christ is to accept that you are like God and that God likes you as you are.

Door 2 “Purpose” has to do with our underlying motivation. Humans are social creatures and our desire is tied up with the presence of other people. That is, we choose for or against others, including for or against Father and Son. Adam chose the law so that he could control others; Jesus chose life so that He could set others free. Our purpose is to be the dwelling place and revelation of Father.

You can see that Being and Purpose are closely related, the second must always come out from the first. To be a sentient being, like God, is to act out from your desires and intentions. Then, Purpose as a Blueprint means Door 3.

Door 3 “Completion” must always come before Door 4 ”Source.” Everything is finished before it begins. This was the premise of The Jesus Secret I, that we call ourselves now by our hope, that is, by our finished state – being just like Jesus. We can do that because it is the Atonement which has brought full completion to everything in our lives before we were ever born. We know exactly where we are going; we possess the proven blueprints of the house.

Door 4 “Source” is the center and core of our lives. From whence do we come? – Out from those thoughts inside of God that are our unfolding. We are and have always and only come out from Love. Knowing our Source is the cause of our choice to turn around, for by this we know Love – And we also. The longer we spend living turned around, then, the more we realize that it was only in doing so that we finally escaped death as our source and destination.

It is easy to see how the opening of the first three Doors takes us to turning around as living in the knowledge of our coming out from a completely different Source than we knew before, and thus our every moment is lived for an entirely different Purpose. For that reason, it is simple to understand how the final three Doors simply proceed out from Love as our Source.

Door 5 “Life” is how we live and walk as the Lord Jesus Christ lived and walked, He now living as us. Of ourselves, we can do nothing, just like Jesus; we walk in the confidence that our every step is embedded in God-Love and coming out from our Source, just like Jesus. Living through faith means, then, that we live as the action of God upon our world, not as those who are buffeted by the world upon them. The Energeia of God within results in energeoing going out from us. Yet this is not yet speaking of our ministry, but rather our life out from which such ministry comes.

Door 6 “Image” refers to how we call our face – reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord. How do we see ourselves in our world? We have two faces – those screaming against the One upon the cross, and that One, with a face of agony, willing to receive even those into His soul, that they might meet with Father there. As we pass with God through this Door we learn to set forth our souls for others. Our face is Compassion.

We can see, then, the great care God takes in our lives to go from our inner workings – Life/Energeia, to our outer appearance – Image/Face, to the final release of our judgments into the world around us. He takes such great care, teaching us carefully of each, before we are ready to judge all things to life.

Door 7 “Judgment,” then, is our ministry forever, the original purpose for which God created us, that we might send forth a River of Life into creation, turning all things towards life and goodness. And we do that by the speaking of our mouths and the seeing of our eyes. This is our synergeoing together with God; it is our function forever.

It is also interesting to note that there are two sets of thoughts inside of God that become our Source. These two sets of thoughts are woven together inside of us through our willing permission. First, there is that set of thoughts that are our human person unfolding through the seasons of time. And second there is that set of thoughts that are the gospel realities of Christ our life. The premise of The Jesus Secret II is that we take this second set of thoughts, speaking Christ our life, and, by our active faith, weave those thoughts together with our own human story of self, also coming out from Father.

Our story of self cannot be “replaced” by the gospel, for such would be the working of a trickster “God,” to create us to be one thing, and then to throw that out and require us to be something entirely different. Such is NOT being like the Lord Jesus.

And thus, having embedded our story into His as we open the first four Doors to Father coming through, we now entwine His Story with ours as we open the final three Doors that God might be known through us.

This is an incredible map for us, and indeed, we are seeing it clearly even as God is finishing that final Door in our lives. Again, this final Door includes very much the passage of the forgiveness of God across every moment of our lives, that is, our forgiveness extended towards all others we have known throughout our entire life. This extension of complete forgiveness to all whom we have known is the critical final opening of the Door of Judgment.

And this is what God means when He says that judgment must begin with His House. How could God have meant that the judgment of His house meant that each member must be called out on their “SIN?” That is absurd. The judgment of God is our giving an account even as we place the Lord Jesus Christ upon every moment and see Him in every person.

Do not be misled; God is not to be sneered at; whatever indeed a man might sow, that also he will reap. For the one sowing into flesh will reap decay and rottenness; the one, however, sowing into Spirit, out of Spirit will reap age-unfolding life (Galatians 6:7-8).

To sow words of “you are a sinner” is to reap corruption. To sow words of Christ your only life is to reap life everlasting. If you want bean life, you sow bean seeds, and you get bean life. If you want death, you call people by their sin, and you get more sin and death as a result, including your own. If you want life, you call people by Christ their only life and you get life for yourself and for them.

Here is another thought that I wrote as I was completing this chart.

Look at how one word sums up every false conclusion – Hell. If everlasting punishment in the torments of hellfire is the final condition of the universe, then “Hell” must rule all things, including God. The image of “Hell” is the victory of serpentine delusion, the twisted contortion of imagining good and evil. Even the Christian conception of “heaven” gains its definitions from “Hell,” as in Paradise – Lost. “Hell” must define God; it must define man; it must define Christ and it must define salvation. If evil is everlasting, then it rules in triumph, not God, and certainly not this “tiny wimp” of a Savior.

I am finally ready to write my own definition of why eternal damnation is UN-Biblical. That will be inserted as a chapter or two coming up in this series. Such an explanation has not been important before now, for typically, arguing why something that does not exist does not exist is little more than a distraction from knowing Christ our only life and learning that we are just like Jesus, here, inside of God.

Yet that UN-Biblical doctrine will be hit head on by our judgment as we call God in, and thus we must be grounded in what God actually says. And I will write this explanation from a different perspective than has been done elsewhere by others.

Then, here is another chart, similar to the one above, which I created so that I could get the comparison of each type of calling consistent across the seven Doors. (The “seven perversions” in Set My People Free are all found across this layout, but not in the same order – the difference is purpose only.)
   

Arrogance – Humility	Contempt – Respect	Dishonor – Honor	Death – Love	Refusal – Faith	Dishonesty –  Honesty	Accusation –  Thanksgiving
Being	Purpose	Completion	Source	Life	Image	Judgment
God & Man	All-Carrying	Atonement	Ekenosis	Energeia	Compassion	Synergeia
Two types of calling God-IN. Any human wanting to be like God wants to be arrogant; obey first before any union with Christ – or – a human wanting to be like God wants to love; His strength is made perfect in union with our human weakness.	Two types of calling God-IN. Good and evil are at war inside of you and are opposed forever; try to be more “with” God than other Christians  – or – God carries you inside Himself all the way from life into life; carry your brethren in your own heart as well.	Two types of calling God-IN. You have two lives in you; you prove yourself to God by struggling against sin; you are in-part until you die – or – the Atonement means you ARE just like Jesus now; you walk with no consciousness of sins; your task is to know Father and Jesus Sent.	Two types of calling God-IN. You possess a fallen human nature that is contrary to God of itself; death alone will connect you with God – or – you are coming out from the love of God through the good speaking of Jesus every moment. You walk beneath of others with God.	Two types of calling God-IN. Because you sin, you cannot live inside of God; God helps you only a little bit, as from afar – or – God lives inside of you and energeoes His desire through your desire; you are all that God speaks as Christ, receive Him.	Two types of calling God-IN. Try really hard, and when you fail, don’t let anyone know until you are found out, then cry and cry – or – be yourself; be real; rest utterly in Jesus living as you. Then turn and be compassion with God towards your brethren; enjoy them.	Two types of calling God-IN. Hate what you are and be ashamed; God is against you until you prove what you cannot do; preach condemnation against others – or – give thanks in and for all; rejoice that God shares your life; speak good grace into all; judge all into life and joy.

Calling God in is defined as what the one speaking calls the believer in Jesus. In other words, listen to the definition of the “Christian” as coming through the context clues found in the words being spoken and you are hearing the “CALL,” calling God to be that very expression. This is as Jesus said – “Whatever you do, say, think, or feel, towards the least of these My brethren, you ARE doing it to Me.” And at the center of calling God in is the definition given to the human heart.

We must then be aware of this probability. It is likely that, as we call our Father into the knowledge of His creation, many whose hearts are not right with God will mimic our speaking of Christ and will go around speaking “Christ” to people. Yet their spirits will be the spirits of demons, and their role will serve to discredit our judgment.

This is why we know how wonderful it is that our Father is taking such great care with us in the opening of these seven Doors, that we would share His heart, that we would know that being like Jesus is setting forth our souls for the sake of one another.

Here is Father revealed, sharing Hheart with God.

Father and I together are long suffering and kind; Father and I together are not envious; Father and I together are not boastful or puffed up; Father and I together do not act improperly or seek Oour own. Father and I together are not easily provoked; Wwe keep no account of wrongs, that is, Wwe do not know evil. Father and I together do not rejoice at injustice, but Wwe rejoice together with the truth. Father and I together cover all for all; Father and I together hope all for all; Father and I together believe all for all; Father and I together carry all for all. Father and I together never fail.

This layout, then, has become very helpful to us as we move forward into considering the full meaning of each of these Doors, the proving of Christ in and as us, as we open them to our Father, and the effect each opening has on our lives and on the world around us.
