56. All That I Am
April 2022 - October 2022This is my concluding chapter. I am no longer bringing in the events of my life. Instead, I hope to share with you the tremendous experience of completion that began for me during the Passover season of 2022 and that has continued even to the completion of this account.
All that I am belongs to God. I know that, and have known it in penetrating sweetness ever since I completed writing this account of my life up to that wondrous moment in 2006 of hearing the words, “Speak what God says you are.” And I am able to know that all that I am is His because I know that all that is God first belongs to me.
An Experience of Completion
I must articulate this wondrous and ongoing experience of completion that began for me probably on April 22, 2022 but fully opened to me on April 24, which turns out to be the day celebrated as “Easter” by the Eastern Orthodox Church. This is not God endorsing the Eastern Orthodox calendar, but rather God giving certainty to me. Inside of God’s patterns, then, the beginning of knowing completion arose from within me through the same days as the Walk of the Atonement, coming to fulness on the day Jesus rose from the dead. (And again, I do not know if that is literal or not; no one does. The point is God’s patterns of understanding.)
Now, none of this is to make me “special.” All of it is to make Jesus Sent KNOWN to all who will receive Him.
Then, this experience with God came to me inside of writing the second letter on John 14:20, “Jesus lives inside of Me,” through the writing of the letter on John 14:23 – “Father Makes His Home with Me.” As I filled in the box titled “The Way” on the Jesus Secret page, “Jesus Lives inside of Me,” these words flowed out from me.
~ Living inside of Jesus is my Way to connect with the Father sharing my life with me. Jesus living inside of me is the Father’s Way to connect with me sharing His life with Him, that God might enter creation through me. Life itself is my Way, moment by moment and step by step, not ‘to’ something, but rather life-unfolding, the living and dynamic expression of God-with-me unveiled new every morning forever. ~
I knew instantly that I had just written a level of knowing God beyond anything I had ever known before. This word percolated inside of me until I knew it more fully by the time of the Zoom meeting on Sunday morning. At this point, sharing life with God had become the completion of Joy inside of me and the excitement of God arising as every next step.
Then, it would have been somewhere around April 27 or 28, through the next week, as I was writing “Father Makes His Home in Me,” that I looked up the meaning of the Greek word para, translated, “with.” To my astonishment, the phrase “with intimate closeness and participation” was part of the meaning of para. I immediately changed the wording of John 14:23 to the following.
We will come to him and will make Our home together in intimate closeness and participation with him.
Here is what I wrote, then, early Sunday morning, May 1, in the box titled “With/Para.” ~ I continuously interact with God building our shared home. We work inside each other’s presence. We participate intimately together in combining each next step of our shared life into a habitation we live in together. My hands at work are filled with God; God’s hands at work are filled with me. God my Father with Jesus comes to me continuously and in every way to make our home together in intimate participation and fellowship. ~
The three experiences in the Christian life could be defined in these short and specific ways. First, being born again is “the peace of knowing Jesus as Savior.” Being filled with the Spirit is “the joy of knowing Word as Life,” and this third experience, the experience of Completion, is “the certainty of knowing Father with me.”
A deep and absolute certainty has come to me several times now, inside this experience as each part of it arises out from my heart. Being sealed means certainty and certainty means completion.
This Is Me
Then, likely on May 12, I was reading a story that could be called a “fairy tale” by Tolkien’s definition of “fairy tale.” In the story, the main character had an experience of discovering that her gift flowed entirely out from who and what she was and from nowhere else. As I read that experience in the story, I knew the same thing inside of me out from God, that all the flow of Spirit out from my heart fits and sings with, carries and is – ME. This is me.
On May 14 I wrote about this experience in the lesson “the Rule of God.” Here is what I said.
~
The inner working of our human soul is the most important place in the universe to God. Just as God met together with us inside the confusion of Jesus’ soul upon the cross, so God meets together with each created thing inside the workings of our own human souls. This is really what I am beginning to understand about Completion. Completion of Word comes out from one action, God and us synergeoing together, making all things GOOD, the very thing God proposed right from the start.
I now know that there is a third experience in God prior to the resurrection of our bodies, a third level of knowing God that is the emanation of Life.
Receiving from God this third experience is equal to, yet far greater than, being born again and being immersed into the Devoted Spirit. The result of this experience over the last few weeks is that I KNOW that a shared life with God is part of myself and true to who and what I am. This experience has come to me as an unfolding to permanence, one might say. It is a knowing out from Joy.
The experience of being conceived of God comes to us. The experience of being immersed into the Spirit comes upon us. But this experience of Completion flows out from our own person, out from our own heart and soul, Father with us.
The rule of God contains no shadow of “rule over” or of “command and control,” or any outward or imposed darkness. Joy is the center of my person, and the rule of God flows out from that JOY in complete harmony, not just with, but as all that I am. In my knowing, God remains God and I remain me, and there is no confusion of person. Nonetheless, our sharing of life together is so complete such that we are the same note, tune, and rhythm.
“The same note, tune, and rhythm” is the meaning of synergeia. The rule of God forever is synergeia, the full entwining of God’s life force and my life force as one together, such that the flow of “this Treasure through my earthen vessel,” is simply normal and natural to me.
I remain fully human, yet I am also Joy. I am Joy inside my person, and I am Excitement towards every forward step. The flow of Life through me is normal and natural to myself, and it is normal and natural to God my Father. My mind thinks only in terms of all completion of Word fulfilled as the outflow of my own person, Christ Jesus my life.
I am not boasting “of myself.” What I am trying to do is to make this present experience as clear as I can express it. You also will have this same experience with God, yet your knowing of this act of Completion will be true to your own heart and person and to how God has always synergeoed with you.
You will not have this experience as a result of any “Pentecostal travail,” which is little more than unbelief on the one hand and a longing for superiority on the other. There is one path to this experience, and I have shown you that path. In fact, the four actions of Love, described in 26.2 “Revealing God-Heart” in Symmorphy VI: Mankind, becoming how you think and live, is that path. Giving thanks and expecting God – for the sake of others.
Synergeoing with God is now the only knowledge I have of myself. And I know synergeoing as the fulfillment in me of every gospel Word spoken by God and written in the Bible. This synergeoing with God, this fulfillment of every gospel Word, is normal and natural to me, it flows out from what I have always been and how I know myself. And it is permanent, regardless of the winds or the waves.
Yet this flow of synergeoing is the Rule of God, a Rule that contains no carnal effort on my part. What removed carnal effort from me? – The revelation that my every next moment is Father sharing with me the building of our Home together, a dwelling place for us and for all.
Yet this experience of completion continued to happen in my life. In the early morning of May 22, in preparation for the Zoom meeting in which I shared this Experience of Completion, I finished the lesson 2.1 “The Principles of Completion.”
The Principles of Completion
Salvation has two parts, redemption first and then completion. Redemption in our experience is instantaneous and total. God places us into completion, that is, into Christ, the moment we receive Jesus as our Savior. Yet our knowing of completion comes slowly over time.
Here are the seven principles of completion.
1. Every Word Fulfilled. Jesus said to them, “…Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms” (Luke 24:44). When? – In this present age. Where? – On this present earth.
MUST BE! Let’s bring Jesus’ words into our present day. “Everything that is written in Paul’s gospel and confirmed by John concerning Me inside My Church MUST BE FULFILLED.”
Consider this Word of Jesus that must be fulfilled. – “Love one another in exactly the same way that I have loved you.” If this Word is not fulfilled in totality, exactness, and permanence inside the present church, then there is no God and Jesus was blowing smoke.
This first principle of completion requires every believer in Jesus to contend face-to-Face with God concerning His Word. Pause a moment and think about the absolute certainty of every Word fulfilled.
2. Synergeoing Together. For this is age-unfolding life, that they may know You, the One true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent (John 17:3). To KNOW God is Life; not to know God is death. Neither the meaning of “to know” nor the God we are to know has any end. Nonetheless, there is a sealing into completion that marks a knowledge of God that is Life.
This experience in a believer’s life of being sealed into completion results in the full knowledge of sharing life with God and synergeoing with Him to make all things good, especially every next step taken. Sharing Life with God, that is, symmorphy, is the end purpose of Covenant; synergeoing with God is the outflow of Kingdom.
Completion means that God and the believer take every next step together, entirely by an equality of faith in one another, that is, Christ Jesus. Completion means true and continuous friendship with God.
We have defined friendship elsewhere as being a commitment to walk together in full equality of heart and with fully shared and open words and actions of harmony and honesty. It means enjoying one another inside of the deepest respect. Nothing is greater or more valuable than to synergeo with God as equals inside a fully shared Word, making all things good, calling all things into life. My bond of friendship with God is the only thing worth knowing.
3. Full Assurance of Faith. Let us approach [everything inside the Holiest] with a true heart, in full assurance of faith (Hebrews 10:22). – For we have become partakers of Christ IF INDEED the source of our substance and assurance we should hold firm until all completion (Hebrews 3:14).
Look at me, God; I belong to You. Let it be to me according to Your Word (Luke 1:38).
Full Salvation is friendship with God. Friendship is full assurance of faith in one another. God always initiates; my response to Him is always giving back what He first gives to me. My certainty that God is speaking me in truth comes out from God’s certainty in me first, that I speak in truth.
God knows me, for I come out from His thoughts through the good-speaking of Jesus; God entrusts Himself to me, that I speak the truth. This trust enables me in return to embrace all that God speaks as the truth and to know that all that God is belongs to me.
4. The Ability of Christ. …the finest details of the Energeia, the mighty continuous and swirling action of His ability to cause ALL to be subject to Himself (Philippians 3:21). – Christ, Who is energeoing all down to the finest details of the counsel and deliberate wisdom arising out of God’s desire (Ephesians 1:11).
Jesus is capable of doing symmorphy. Jesus is capable of connecting God and me together in a shared life, in all things. Jesus is capable of living as me. Jesus is capable of taking my human qualities and making them part of God.
Jesus is the most able Being in the entire universe, for He is able to do what neither God nor we can do. God cannot connect with us apart from Jesus. We cannot connect with God apart from Jesus.
More than that, the life I now live inside this sphere of flesh, I live entirely inside the sphere of the faith of the Son of God, this one having loved me and having given Himself entirely for me. – I have all the faith in the universe.
5. The Place of Church. The Church is His body, the fullness of Christ, that is, the full meaning that is Christ filling full all inside of all, that is, Jesus filling with Himself everything in everyone (Ephesians 1:23). – This is My full completion, that you love one another in full reciprocity just exactly as I have loved you (John 15:12). – Beloved, if God so loved us, we also are committed to loving one another (1 John 4:11). Friendship with God means friendship with one another, otherwise no friendship with God actually exists.
The gathering together of the Church is the place of Salvation; it is where true friendship with God takes place. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! – For there the Lord commanded the blessing—Life forevermore (Psalm 133).
The place of Church, then, is as true for God’s Completion as it is for ours. God cannot be complete except in Church. We cannot be complete except in Church. No one wants to go to heaven, for death cannot save anyone. Everyone wants to go to Church, even if they imagine otherwise. Salvation is NOT heaven; salvation is Church.
6. The Fulness of Time. The principle of the fulness of time is based upon God’s law of the relationship between substance and appearance. For that reason, this principle has two parts. The first part of this principle asserts that everything is already complete, though we may not see it outwardly. Then, the second part is a short time-period set by God in which everything will be seen as it truly is. That which has always been true remains, while the lie is KNOWN as a lie and then vanishes away.
God’s completion requires that everything be seen to be fully what it is by all. This apocalypse is certain.
7. Calling Completion. This One who is continuously giving life to the dead and calling into existence things not existing (Romans 4:17).
– Look at me, God; I belong to You. Let it be to me according to Your Word (Luke 1:38).
The reality of God requires that we call Completion into our lives. We do this through full assurance of faith.
Calling completion is our active role. The Devoted Spirit, entirely on our side of things, anoints us to call, but calling completion upon ourselves is something we alone must do. Yet calling forth completion is always for the sake of others, and thus our call is always synergeoing with God, making all things good and true, that is, Complete.
I am just overwhelmed, even by this first time through this list, for these things are so clear and so simple and so overwhelmingly powerful and wondrous. We live in all Salvation now. Our Salvation is Glorious and Complete.
The Flow of the Anointing
On May 22, then, we prayed together this prayer of completion.
•
“God, my Father, I ask You to give me a third experience in knowing You. In my first experience of knowing You, You sent Jesus into my heart that I might be conceived of Your incorruptible Word. In my second experience of knowing You, You immersed me into Your Devoted Spirit, sending Your Spirit into every part of my human soul, that I might know that Your Word is true.
“In this third experience in knowing You, Oh God, I ask that You seal me forever into LIFE and into the Completion of all Salvation and of all that You speak. Father, cause me to KNOW that You share every part of my daily life with me. Cause me to KNOW that I synergeo with You turning every single next step and moment and circumstance into all goodness as our dwelling place.
“God our Father, save me forever from any thought that You might be separate from me, that You might not be sharing my life with me. Save me forever from any thought that You and I together do not turn all things towards goodness for the sake of others.
“Seal me into my commitment to You, Oh God, into the full equality of friendship with You, face to Face and heart to Heart, even as You are first committed to me. Let the completion of Your Word flow out of me as my entire human person joined with You in all familiar companionship. Let the ability of Your Son cause You and me to know one another in intimate participation together.
“God, seal me right now into Your Glorious Salvation, into all completion of every Word You speak, into the full knowledge of Your intimate friendship with me, into all honesty and into no need of any sufficiency in myself. Seal me into the River of our precious Devoted Spirit flowing out from our persons together, setting creation free.
“I ask for this experience from You, Oh God, my Father, inside of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He might be proven faithful and true in all that You speak. And in asking I believe with full assurance of faith that I have received all that I have asked. And in believing that I have already received, I wait upon You in confident expectation that this experience of being sealed into Your Completion, into all the fullness of LIFE, will arise from inside of me, inside of my knowing of myself and of You with me, that I am forever just like the Lord Jesus Christ.
“I give You all thanks, my Father, and I wait in confident expectation upon Your arising in me every moment.”
•
Now, part of what I shared, though only briefly, of what I mean by “This is me” arising out from my own being, out from Father and me sharing life together in every next step, was the meaning pictured for us in Zechariah 4, of the anointing oil flowing out from the olive tree in the presence of God.
God has anointed me to know His Word by the Spirit and made personal. God has anointed me to be a channel through which a pure Word flows out from the throne and into the understanding of the Church in all heaven-earth. This is the Joy of my life, what makes me sing. This is what makes every moment of 65 years of what I thought was heartache and loss to be more valuable than I could imagine.
The Removal of Korah
Through the next week, May 23-28, I got all excited about writing the Chapter “The Meaning of a Life” for my autobiography. As I filled in the story of each significant moment of God speaking to me from the age of seven on, I was overwhelmed as I saw direct connections between experiences that I had before thought were random and haphazard. I could no longer deny that God had His hand of great purpose upon my life every step of the way.
Inside of that experience was seeing the incredible thirty-year pattern of God dealing with contempt inside of me through which He not only removed it from me out from Covenant, but through which He proved Christ as me, that I had “passed the test,” not just in a moment, but perpetually.
My decision to see Buddy Cobb and Claude Mack as Christ living as them, as Jesus to me, was not any back and forth, but rather the only possibility for me. My decision was made thirty years earlier, when, in my great desperation, I covenanted with God that I would KNOW Him and that I would walk with a people who KNOW Him.
When I saw, in a moment’s flash, as this ongoing Experience of Completion, that removing “Korah” from me, full and complete, was God’s purpose through thirty years of agony. I saw that “Korah” gone from me was God’s permission to me to stand certain inside His calling. You see, “He humbled Himself” is the only entrance of God into the visible seeing of His creation.
I also saw, as I wrote “The Meaning of a Life,” that the full intensity of travailing with God for the sake of His people actually began when I was twelve years old. In fact, God speaks through anything and in such a way that we can understand it. For that reason, God used a “fairy tale” to convey His meaning to a twelve-year-old boy, for my heart was taken by the story of a hobbit named Frodo Baggins who was willing to take on a task he could not do and who accomplished that task through weakness and because he failed at every crucial moment.
Frodo’s words in “The Council of Elrond,” – “I will take the ring (to the fire), though I do not know the way” – became the story of my life, and I could not read those words from then until now without weeping.
To “take the ring to the fire” is to be rid of the contempt of Adam for others, the wicked hatred of humans against God. It is the certain downfall of the evil one. As figurative speaking, it is the same as being rid of “Korah.”
Through the week of May 30 through June 5, I continued to work on “The Meaning of a Life.” As I did so, the meaning and significance of different things God spoke to me over the years took on a FAR larger scope than I had ever considered before.
~ “Is not My Word my Will?” ~ had already established the certainty of completion in me and was the first part of my writing “The Principles of Completion,” that every word must be fulfilled.
Then, ~ “Because you have honored My word, I will honor you,” ~ became the quiet certainty of authority in the Word given to me by God, the knowing of the Word as it really is now flowing through me.
Through this same week of May 30 through June 5, I was also writing the lesson for the Jesus Secret Page, “The World Hates Me.” As I completed that early in the morning on June 5, I understood why Jesus could save us ONLY inside the confusion of His own soul upon the cross, by choosing never to drive Father away from Himself and by choosing to include us inside Himself joined together with the Father.
Our Salvation happened only inside Jesus’ own soul, inside His own confusion and almost-lostness shared fully with us. And we also – for the sake of our brothers and sisters.
Drinking of One Spirit
Then, as I was writing “The Spirit Leads Me,” the next massive part of this ongoing Experience of Completion happened to me, let’s say on June 7 or 8. I saw that because we drink of one Spirit with all who belong to Jesus, we can stand inside of God as the entire Church making our words to and out from God to be her words as well, that we can do in God what our millions of brothers and sisters cannot do, as them and for their sakes.
Out from this knowing, I wrote the first prayer of standing inside of God as the Church and for her sake in the early morning of June 12, as I was preparing for the Zoom meeting. I did not know on June 12 that, according to the Eastern Orthodox calendar, this was the Day of Pentecost. Here is what we prayed on that day.
~
“God, our Father, we belong to You because You first belong to us. We are devoted to You because You first are devoted to us. Inside of our shared Spirit, Oh God, we join with You in travail for the sake of Your entire Church.
“God, we know and drink of the same Spirit that fills all who belong to Jesus, and we are members with them of Your same body. We are, right now, the voice of that body and we speak as her with authority and in the power of the Devoted Spirit. God, cause the Fire of Your Spirit to burn, cause all eyes to open, cause all pretending and arrogance to be cast off, cause Your knowing to arise inside of all.
“God, our Father, we are in travail with You, inside our shared Spirit, with groanings too deep to express, that LIFE, that the KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, would be birthed inside of creation, here upon this earth. God, we tolerate no more the infidelity and the game-playing that has been Your people inside this world. Not one remains inside the prostitute. We speak even for those who are so foolish as not to be filled with Your Spirit, that they also would be snatched out of their darkness.
“God, we will not let You rest until You have made the Church of Jesus Christ, our Jerusalem, to be a praise and a joy among all humans in this world, the revelation of Jesus. Let our 'Yes, Lord,' be the 'Yes, Lord,' of all, in Jesus name.”
~
Upon praying this prayer together in the Zoom meeting, I understood that I (and we) had taken the first significant step out from the Holy of Holies as the Ark of the Covenant going forth into and as the Church. I understood that Church, Christ Community as I will know it, must come first out from those who speak as and for the Church inside the presence of God. And right now, on June 23, as I am writing this, I am utterly overwhelmed that June 12 was the Day of Pentecost, the birthing of the Church.
At the Bottom of the Jordan
As early as June 8, I had started to write the lesson for the Jesus Secret page “The Meaning of Life.” I had it mostly finished by June 14, though without the last two boxes filled in. Here is part of what I wrote in that lesson. The numbered sections are part of the definition of “to know.”
~
The fifth level of knowing God, then, remains in the Holiest until that full experience of completion as God has now brought to us. (Third or fifth depends on perspective, that is, we can speak of “three” levels of knowing God and we are complete, or, we can speak of seven levels of knowing God, of which three take place inside the Holiest.)
5. To share Hheart with God; to be penetrated with the meaning of “And we also”; to embrace a view of the Church as the passion of Jesus inside; to know the Spirit of intercession for the sake of others; to be the Mercy Seat of God, the throne of heaven; to know sharing life with the Father every moment; to be sealed into all completion.
The sixth level of knowing God, then, is knowing God inside His Church, that is, knowing one another. And the seventh level of knowing God is the experience together as the Church of God-known through us. We could even add an eighth level, and that would be the resurrection of our bodies which will seal us forever into a life shared with God and with one another in all outward appearance, that is, all expression of God-known.
6. To commit one’s self to speak as and for the entire Church; to commit one’s self to walk together with other believers in Jesus; to know one another inside God-among-us, that is inside of Love; to love one another with pure hearts fervently.
7. To be God-made-known, both individually and together; to be Love revealed; to be the Salvation of God made visible; to know the full expression of God in outward appearance; to thrill with the joy of Father released to be Himself as He pleases.
~
On June 10 or 11, I happened to watch a YouTube video regarding Tolkien’s world titled “Who is Cirdan? Legends of Middle Earth.” I had not known this character’s life, yet as I listened, such joy arose in me, for it spoke of the same longing I have known, what I always wanted to be.
I did not know it was the Day of Pentecost that Sunday morning, but as I was sharing the lesson, “The Spirit Leads Me,” in the Zoom meeting on June 12, I wasn’t certain if I should mention what I had learned from this YouTube video or not. Then, I realized that the story of the Ark of the Covenant at the bottom of the Jordan was the same metaphor and I was able to share both.
The four priests who carried the Ark on their shoulders were the first into the waters of the Jordan. As the water swirled around their feet, suddenly the flood waters all the way across the river backed up and formed a wall to their right with a dry path all the way into LIFE. Those four men then stopped in the middle of the river bed at the lowest place on earth. I like to picture them having turned to face south, with the wall of death held back behind them and facing the children of Israel crossing before them, beginning with Salmon, the prince of Judah, the forefather of David. I picture every single Israelite from the least to the greatest turning to gaze upon that Ark, the presence of God, held there in the lowest place on earth, held there that they might have a Way into life, that all might enter into Christ.
Those men stood there, unmoving, until every single little one of all the children of Israel had crossed over into the Promised land. Only then did they also turn, in defiance of death, and walk up into life.
This is also what Cirdan had done. He had devoted his life for 10,000 years to make sure that every single elf in Middle Earth who wanted to cross the sea to the undying lands was able to do so. Cirdan was the last to cross, even though his heart had wanted to be the first. He was the last to cross, because he had accepted the mission of making sure every single one who belonged to LIFE had passed through the Way that led to life.
I do not know what it means, but this is the calling that sings to me. My last name is Yordy, which is an anglicized form of the German form of the original Hebrew word, Yarden, also translated into the English as “Jordan.” My last name is the Hebrew Yarden. To me it means one who stands with Father beneath of all and for the sake of all, that each little one who believes in Jesus might enter into the full meaning of the knowledge of God, that is, into LIFE.
God Is My Judge
On June 14, my son, Kyle, took me as a Father’s-day gift to a special meal being offered at the restaurant where my daughter, Katrina, works. She was the one serving the tables of all those who had signed up for this special meal. It was an excellent meal, but the point of the story is that the meal included many samplings of Samuel Adams drinks, and by the end I had drunk just a bit more than might be called proper.
On Wednesday morning, June 15, as I was sitting at my computer with my coffee, feeling a bit foolish in my hangover, I did as I always do, I said, “Father, You are sharing even this silly foolishness with me.” Immediately I knew the presence of my Father, swallowing up into Himself all my humanity. Then, I listened again to the voice on Microsoft Word reading to me what I had written in “The Meaning of a Life” for my autobiography.
As I was listening to the incredible flow of God with me over many years, and as I was thinking of the travail I shared with God for the sake of His people, the next great part of the Experience of Completion arose from inside of me.
This is what happened. I thought about all the people in my life, and I saw them all without any pain at all. My heart enlarged inside of compassion and I thought to myself, “It is so easy to forgive every single person and to receive each with all joy.” Then I thought of Lloyd Green, and I saw him, as in a vision, as a frightened and lonely little boy, and I thought, “It is so easy to forgive Lloyd Green and to draw him out from the un-known-ness and into my heart.”
All pain is gone. ALL PAIN IS GONE! Indeed, it is easy for me now to see that all my pain was entirely self-inflicted. What Lloyd Green did to me was wrong, even wicked. But I was the one who had taken that experience and used it to beat myself inside of darkness. – Simply because I had not given thanks and had not called that experience as God sharing all things with me.
I turned, then, and added more to the lesson, “The Meaning of Life” in Studies in John, including the first part of the prayer. Here is what I wrote.
~
We will continue to go back and forth between metamorphy and synergeia in our prayers; however, we will also continue to speak as the Church for her sake.
Last time, I did not arrive at the wording I wanted until the last line, “Let our ‘Yes Lord,’ be the ‘Yes Lord’ of all.” God’s people are sheep. They do not know the way and are afraid of getting it wrong and losing Salvation. Just as we needed Jesus to speak for us before God, so our brothers and sisters need us to speak for them. And we also.
Standing for the Church for her sake is our first step into the sixth level of knowing God as the Ark of the Covenant.
What Is the Church? I want us to fix in our understanding, our “mind’s eye,” for whom it is we are praying. Cast your mind across all Christians you have known of every stripe, color, and flavor. Cast your mind across every country and people-group on earth. Reach out to include every sect, and denomination. Include all in the heavens out from all human history. Include those who do not yet know the Lord Jesus, but who will. Consider Christians you don’t like. Draw into your mind the faces of those you once despised.
In this third part of experiencing completion; God will enlarge you to be compassion for ALL.
~
At the same time, as I was listening to “The Meaning of a Life” being read to me, I understood that my first name, Daniel, meaning "God is my judge," is simply the best sentence one could come up with to define the meaning of my life up until now. – God is my judge. And David, my middle name, is the Beloved, the one who shares heart with God, the one who will not let go of God until Jerusalem is a praise in all the earth.
I began to understand, now for the first time, God’s second commandment to me, in instructing me to give to His people. The first time God told me to do something it was, ~ “Give My people hope.” ~
The second time God told me to do something was while I was writing the letter “Give Me a Place to Stand.” These words came to me from the same Voice inside of me, ~ “You provide for them.” ~ Meaning, don’t just ask God’s people to provide for you, rather, you also provide for them.” Just as I had no hope when God instructed me to give His people hope, so I had nothing to give when God told me to provide for His Church.
Understand that I heard the words ~ “You provide for them” ~ in the context of the Church entering into her time of greatest need and in the context of “and they shall nourish her there.” And so, on this same eventful morning, June 15, I understood that the greatest provision that could ever be given to God’s people on this earth right now is to speak in the presence of God as her and for her sake.
Now, that is where it stands thus far, as I am writing this morning, on June 16, 2022. And I am busy with this account right now because a further part of this Experience of Completion has begun in me even this morning.
You see, none of this is me exalting myself. That’s the whole point. I am a total failure in everything. It is God my Father, sharing my life with me, who is exalted. And God is exalted as you, dear reader, come to know Him inside this Experience of Completion as I also know Him now.
Every moment of your life has been as filled with purpose and with Father sharing everything with you as mine has been. CALL IT TO BE SO, and you will see. This is knowing God; this is the path of Life.
For the Sake of the Church
This morning, even though I haven’t yet shared “The Meaning of Life” with the Zoom meeting, I opened the next lesson for the Jesus Secret page titled “I Know Jesus Sent.” I wrote the first sentence and then sat here considering how to shape this wondrous reality. I looked at the word “Sent” and saw just how critically important it is and what it means.
To be SENT means that Jesus came into us out from Another, that is from God, with great purpose. Jesus cannot “rest” until He has fulfilled inside of us everything for which the Father Sent Him. To be sent means that you must accomplish the purposes of the one who sent you. You are where you are for the sake of One greater than you. And from an early age, you have been “about Your Father’s business.”
Because, you see, even though this is Jesus Sent into us, the last page of The Jesus Secret II for John’s gospel is “Jesus Sends Me.” – “Just as the Father sent Me forth, so I also send you.”
Every one of these parts of this great Experience of Completion that is arising as rivers out from Father and us sharing life together, is centered in the entire concept of CERTAINTY.
God is – and now I KNOW that He is. – To KNOW that I am sent into this world in exactly the same way and for the same purposes that God sent Jesus, is to know utter and quiet CERTAINTY in the unfolding of every present moment.
I wrote this narrative up until this point on June 16. Now, in the early morning hours of June 23, 2022, I am writing the next bit. I will begin this part, then, with what we, in our small gathering on Zoom, prayed together for the sake of the Church of Jesus Christ throughout heaven-earth on Sunday morning, June 19.
~
“God, our Father, we stand here inside Your presence, in intimate participation with You and with one another, as, and for the sake of Your entire Church in heaven-earth. Enable us to speak for their sake what others are not able to speak, not until their eyes are opened to the Path of Life.
“As and for the sake of the entire Church, we repent, Oh God, of not desiring to know You above all things. Cause us, with all who belong to Jesus, to KNOW You.
“As and for the sake of the entire Church, we repent of 2000 years of turning Your gospel away from the tree of life and into the tree of knowing good and evil. Cause us, with all who belong to Jesus, to see John 14:20 as our only LIFE.
“As and for the sake of the entire Church, we repent of having not obeyed the one command of the gospel that counts. Cause us, with all who belong to Jesus, to put the Lord Jesus Christ upon all that we are, with no thought regarding our human weakness.
“As and for the sake of the entire Church, Oh God, we close our mouths about ourselves. It is so good to be utterly and completely WRONG; apart from Jesus we can do nothing.
“As and for the sake of the entire Church, we stand upon firm and we SEE the Salvation of God, the Lord Jesus Christ fulfilling all. We SEE all sin purged away; we SEE no more disconnection from God. We SEE a life shared with our Father forever. – For ALL who belong to Jesus.”
“As and for the sake of the entire Church, we stand inside of You, Oh God, and inside the Completion of every word You speak. Let our confidence in You be their confidence in You. Let our rejoicing in a shared life with You be their overflowing Joy.
“Father, let our travail stand in for theirs; let our groaning for the resurrection, for our bodies swallowed up by life, be their faith in You.
“Father, cause Your people all across the earth and throughout the heavens to KNOW YOU, that we might also KNOW YOU, together with them. For God, we will not let You go, we will give You no rest, until every least little one who loves Jesus has passed out from death and into LIFE.
“Let it be so; it is so, inside of the name of Jesus.”
~
I knew, the moment we finished praying this, that we together had just uttered the most powerful prayer I have ever known, and likely more impactive than any prayer during the in-part Church age. It was no surprise to me that, over the next few days, I sensed a massive counter-attack in the heavenly realms against us. I gave it no mind, for these evil angels are ON THEIR WAY OUT! This next paragraph, however, is what I wrote first this morning.
~ So, yea. I haven’t even finished setting forth what is up to this moment on June 23, 2022 when the next experience of completion comes out from Father and me together. How can I explain it. Yet it must be explained and its path must be shown. ~
Praying for the Church
The next portion of this Experience of Completion that came to me this morning is the full realization that being a ministry of Christ to His Church MEANS that I, standing inside the presence of God, sharing life with the Father, DO for my brothers and sisters what they cannot do for themselves, that is, I say every “Yes, Lord,” for their sake.
I now have the full answer to why it is our brethren cannot hear or see the Salvation of God. It’s because they can’t. You see, neither could we. We needed Someone to stand for us in the presence of God and to speak for us what we ourselves could not speak. Since this is what Jesus does for us, – and we also – means that we turn and do the same for all believers in Jesus who also cannot, just as we could not.
Again, this is not “replacing” Jesus’ completed atonement. Rather, it is two things. First, it is Jesus sharing with us a small measure of what He Himself is and does. But second, God has set out from His own nature that He cannot penetrate into human affairs except He comes through humans who are alive now upon this earth. Jesus must find faith IN the earth.
And thus I see why it is God has had me pencil out the pathway of my life, for it is evident that I am NOT different, that I am NOT special, but that I am a bumbling human in this world like everyone else. That means that whatever is true of Father with me is also true of Father with you your whole life, just as much. Call it to be so.
It is an easy thing to say, “Yes, Lord.” And it is an easy thing to say, “Yes, Lord,” for the entire Church of Christ. I think back now to my decades of screaming and hollering against God. Jesus spoke the truth, I hated Him WITHOUT a cause. Then I saw that the time period through which I fought and struggled against God dragging me into the Joy in which I now live was right at forty-nine years, from the summer of 1964 when I asked Jesus into my heart at age seven until May of 2013, at age fifty-six, when God sealed me into Himself, into His Jubilee, never to imagine myself separate from Him ever again.
Why did I fight against God so hard for so long? – Because I was stupid! – It is so good to be WRONG.
You can’t! But I can, inside of Jesus, for your sake. And so I do, together with Father.
And how is it that I have the authority to do so? – Simple. – GOD IS MY JUDGE, utterly and completely. I have no other judge.
Never, in all the history of the Church, did God ever intend for Christian ministry to condemn those who cannot please God, but rather, to stand for the sake of others just as Jesus stood for them.
Let me insert this list, now, of the lesson titles from Studies in John and the Sunday in which I shared them on Zoom and in which we prayed the prayer together. This is momentous. – Also realize that I typically began to write each next lesson the next morning, Monday, after the Zoom meeting.

Every Single One
It is now June 25. Yesterday and this morning I filled in the list of each letter I sent out from Symmorphy I: Purpose to Symmorphy V: Life, including the introduction I wrote for each letter. I realized that I needed to fit a number of things more into those chapters of my life story.
Yet in doing that, my understanding of God’s purpose for my life became simple and plain. When I shared my present understanding with Maureen, she said, “That’s good, Daniel.” From a Mack, that is a full commendation.
I have allotted two pages only for the introduction to my autobiography. Proclaiming myself as “somebody” in the face of others is more abhorrent to me than I can express. Yet, in those two pages, I must set before you in quiet simplicity the hand of God upon me and the purpose of my life for your sake, that you also might enter into all the knowledge of God, that you also might know that God has shared your life with you just as much.
I must set before all readers why they must read this account.
God removed from me the fulfillment of immediate Church and then turned my focus to His entire Church throughout all heaven-earth. Jesus has found Himself as faith in the earth; God has found Himself as a man after His own heart. I am privileged to share with Them all that I am.
I will stand here at the bottom of the Yarden, in the lowest place on earth, as the very Ark of God, and with death at my back. I will stand here, as God is my judge, until every single one who belongs to Jesus, from the least to the greatest, has left the wilderness of their own ignorance of God and has crossed into the full meaning of all the fulness of Christ.
Only when that last little one has passed out from death will it be acceptable to me to turn, and, with those who have chosen to stand with me, then enter into all outward expression of God among us.
This is me; this is what makes me sing.
Yet what does it mean that every single Israelite, crossing through death and into life, has turned to look upon the Ark of the Covenant here at the bottom of the Jordan?
It is the anointing of KNOWING the pure Word out from God, KNOWING that Word as Christ living as them, that each one receives. This also is me; this also is what makes me sing.
All Word Fulfilled
It is now October of 2022, as I am finishing this final chapter. The travail of these last few months is found in the earlier chapter, "A New Altar." I want to share with you now what I wrote on October 3.
~
I am ever more overwhelmed as I now see ever more the perfection of God in the events of my life. And what I am after is to unveil to you what really happened inside of me on August 6, 2006, when I heard the words, “Speak what God says you are.” What I heard in that moment, shouting into me as all the Voice of God, was the COMMAND – Believe you have received ALL WORD FULFILLED!!!
We begin with a challenge to all ministers and teachers inside of Christianity. – Why do you not ask God to fulfill His Word as He means it inside of you and then believe that you have received what you ask?
You see, the issue is always the Spirit of Truth VERSUS the spirit of anti-Christ. And the spirit of anti-Christ seems to prevail.
There is NO knowing of Word or Truth or God apart from being immersed into the Spirit, apart from being filled to overflowing with the knowing of the Spirit. And so I want to trace out this Great Contention across the whole course of my life.
I have spoken of “running the gauntlet.” That gauntlet was right at ten years in length from February of 1988 to February of 1998. At every step of that run, I was being beaten by two gospels, one on either side of me. God’s intention was for me to FAIL and, in total failure, to despair. God was after “no sufficiency in myself” as driven by the complete opposition of these two gospels.
Those two gospels are Christ versus anti-Christ, knowing God through Christ inside my heart VERSUS the savage separation between Christ and me.
God positioned these two opposing words on either side of me in the fall of 1987, around my 31st birthday. The gospel of separation was Calvinism filtered through Buddy Cobb, all Bible verses, all in the wrong places. And the gospel of knowing God, that is, Life, came through Jane Miller in the demonstration and power of the Spirit. My nous, my intellectual mind, went with the first, and my phroneo, my heart-gut mind went with the second. But I was not released to RUN until February of 1988, when God removed from my gut the demons of fear from LSD.
These were the most intense years of searching my Bible so that I might KNOW what God actually says, especially at the beginning of that run, ages 31 to 33. Here was my conclusion after that run was over, an absolute Covenant with God inside of me. – JESUS WILL BE more real inside of me than Don Howat and Abel Ramirez ever could be outside of me. In other words – the Person of JESUS will fill my flesh. Yet that Person is also every Word God speaks.
Here are the Words God planted in me prior to this RUN and then the Words He planted in me through the beginning of the gauntlet.
Although I asked Jesus into my heart when I was seven, God began His relationship with me at age nineteen with two words, audible in my spirit, His Voice saying, ~ “My son.” ~ Those two words made everything utterly Personal to God and utterly personal to me. I have never thought differently.
Prior to God making everything personal between Him and me, God planted two mighty things inside of me. The first came when I was twelve. God planted in my heart-gut mind a love of the fantastic (Spirit) and a hatred of dishonesty. And inside that planting was a call to intercession out from knowing God.
The second word came when I was fifteen. – Give thanks in and for all things. You see what that Seed did? It began the turn away from controlling my outward and towards the fulfillment of every Word God speaks inside of me.
Then, after God made it personal between Him and me, He planted four critical words into me prior to the great RUN yet ahead. The first of those four words was through Watchman Nee – Ask God to fulfill His Word inside of you and then believe you have received all you have asked.
The second was a word of the Spirit, the words coming alive and personal inside of me. – “The Spirit of Truth WILL lead you into all truth.” The third was the voice of God inside my heart. ~ “Is not My Word My will?” ~
And the fourth came through Sam Fife, the single most important word he preached into me. – “It is the Spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak to you are Spirit and they are life.”
Let’s list these seven words.
1. Love the fantastic and dream of what could be; hate dishonesty and all lying about what is.
2. Give thanks inside of and for the sake of all things.
3. It’s utterly personal between Me and you, My son.
4. Ask Me to fulfill My word in you and then believe You have received – and I will fill you with My Spirit.
5. My Spirit will lead you into all truth.
6. My will and desire is My Word fulfilled in you.
7. The Words of Jesus are Spirit inside of you and your life.
I may not have been able to tell you at the time, but these words were ABSOLUTE inside of me before I was thirty.
One final note before the Word that came into me at the beginning of the gauntlet. When I was 26, God confronted me with dire instruction. – “Do NOT put My Words into your intellect, but plant them as I speak them inside your phroneo, your heart-gut mind.”
~
Then, read the chapters “The Season of Deliverance I and II” to get the power of the gauntlet God sent me down and the deep issues inside of it. It is so important to me that you KNOW the seven words God planted in me and then told me to RUN!
I was running for my LIFE. And in that run, I searched my Bible to KNOW what God was really all about.
The first two that came to me from that search was the BATTLE. – “Yeah hath God said,” VERSUS “Let it be to me according to Thy Word.” The second two were the goal, the end of my run. – “Conformed to the image of His Son,” the ruling verse of the Bible, and – Enter BOLDLY into all that is God, Hebrews 10. The third two were the how – “Cast down the accuser,” and – “Rivers of Spirit flow out from your belly.”
Yet there was a seventh word, one I could not have said.
That seventh verse was at the heart of my great test, God’s removal of Korah from me in the proving of Christ, and His voice to me, ~ “Son, you passed the test.” ~ That verse I can place only now – By this we have known Love because He set forth His soul for us AND WE ALSO are committed to – Love one another.
Listen to the voices screaming at me for ten years, beating me with whips, the “God” of Calvinism. – God hates you. God is against you. You are in trouble with God. Hear and obey, loser. Know your place, loser. Your will is always at war against God. What you think is your calling is NOT of God. What you think is God speaking to you is NOT God speaking. You don’t know yourself, but I do, and you are the proudest man I have ever known.
All these and so much more, welded intrinsically into so much speaking of ‘word’ at me. This is the spirit of anti-Christ speaking against Christ now come in Daniel Yordy’s flesh. And all with Calvin’s crowning words, “When you see God, you will KNOW just how EVIL you really are.”
Yet in all of this, I have left out the one Word that defined my own heart every stumbling step of that way. That one Word that came out from God’s first words spoken to me, “It’s all personal between you and Me, My son.” Here is that word that I HAD TO KNOW. – If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
This was LIFE or DEATH for me, and I did not want to die. I MUST have Father make His home with me; therefore I MUST keep His Word.
And this was my ABSOLUTE despair at the end of that gauntlet in February of 1998. – “I cannot keep His Word.” And the Absolute Covenant with a God who makes everything personal between Him and me, coming out from that despair, “I must have a Savior. I will know Jesus for real, and I will know nothing else.”
Yet what was it inside my own character that kept that path in a straight line? – It was my love of the fantastic, that is, “Christ, not I, yet I live,” that is, Jesus in my flesh, and my hatred of dishonesty, that is, “I, not Christ.”
I count at least 25 powerful things planted by God as His Word inside of me. Every single one of those Words reverberated all through my being. And I have left out, though it was also very much there – that you might be filled with all the fulness of God. And on August 6, 2006, when Joel Osteen said, “Speak what God says you are,” every single one of those Words EXPLODED in all THIRST and all GLORY inside of me.
But then also, through the nine months of February to November, 2008, every single one of those anti-Christ voices screamed and wailed against me without let-up, AND I REFUSED THEM. I cast them down.
Let’s paraphrase 1 John 4:4-5. – You are out from God, little children, personal between you and the Father, and have defeated the anti-Christ spirit and cast it down, because the Jesus who is inside of you, come now in your flesh, the Completion of all that God speaks, is greater than the one who speaks his anti-Christ nonsense in the present world.

I Have a Dream
I have a dream.
I dream of the Church of Jesus Christ now upon this earth. I see her clothed with the Lord Jesus Christ; I see her bringing forth the knowledge of God into creation.
I see the Church, that she comes out from Jesus’ side upon the cross. I see the Blood and the Water flowing out together, mixing into the dirt of the earth, the very Bride of Christ. I see the Lord Jesus coming into His Church by the Spirit of Truth on the day of Pentecost. I see that Jesus is all inside of all who belong to Him.
I see the Church, a hundred million and more believers in Jesus all across this planet, walking together as the revelation of Jesus Christ in all of His glory revealed, right here on this earth, right now in this age.
You see, I care about God, that He would gain the desire of His Heart, to be seen and known by all creation through His only body, Christians loving one another with pure hearts fervently.
I dream of a firstfruits of Christ, giving their all for the sake of the Church, ready to sacrifice everything that they might be a point of gathering together. I see Christians everywhere gathering together around God's firstfruits into Christ Communities, more than a million Christian Communities across every land and among every people on earth.
I see the New Jerusalem coming out from God upon the earth inside of heaven.
I see Christians loving one another, with every thought that Father might be glorified through their gathering together, placing God Himself as all their connections together, a people filled with all the fulness of God.
I see Christians who place the Sacrifice of Jesus, one unlimited sacrifice for sins, as their only core, their only foundation, their absolute protection, their all.
I see Christians loving one another out from God, out from their personal union with the Lord Jesus Christ connecting them always with God and with one another.
I see great movements of the Devoted Spirit flowing inside of each community of Christ, among the Churches together, and out from them into all human society. I see the Word of the gospel being spoken everywhere.
I hear the ruling verses of the Bible on the lips of a hundred million or more Christians, spoken as their own self story, spoken together as the testimony and witness of Christ.
I hear the people of this world in awe, saying, "Now we know that God is true, for we can see Him. We can see Christians loving one another with all commitment and in all liberty. We know we are seeing God. We know that God sent Jesus into our lives."
I see Christians loving one another, committing their lives to each other and to the gathering together. I see sacrifice, I see steadfastness, I see faithfulness, I see giving, all in full reciprocity, back and forth, as the very revelation of God. I see Christians treating each other with utter respect and in the highest regard.
I see every Word spoken by Jesus and His apostles fulfilled in all completion right here on this earth, right now in this age, inside a hundred million or more believers in Jesus - the absolute proof that God is telling us the truth.
This is my story; this is my dream. This is the commitment of my heart and life. I know the cost; I know the tears. I know the joy unspeakable and filled with glory.
For Father's sake - a people for Father's sake. That God might be known by all.
I will know God in full, in all that God intends, and I will walk with a people who know God in the same way, right here on this earth, right now in this age.
I will walk in committed Christian Community with all who love Jesus made visible.
