25. Through Eyes of Fire - PP

  
To the one presently and actively overcoming, I will give to sit with Me inside My throne, just as I also overcame, and sat down with My Father inside His throne (Revelation 3:21). – And His eyes were like a flame of fire (Revelation 1:14).

In this lesson I am no longer writing to teach, but to learn. Indeed, this is where God has brought us inside of His Desire, and we are learning these things for the first time.

I have used the phrase “through eyes of fire” because it sounds cool. Only now am I beginning to grasp what it means and where it fits.

To Synergeo. Consider the difference between the thoughts of Jesus’ mind upon the cross, as expressed by David in Psalm 22 and the words that He spoke as recorded by Luke. – Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.

Jesus was not seeing by how he felt or how things appeared to Him in that moment; He was seeing through eyes of fire. Jesus was judging those whom He saw to life.

One of the central parts of being like God is that we are created to judge. To synergeo with God making all things good is to judge (Romans 8:28). To synergeo is to share Fire with God.

Judgment. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night (Genesis 1:3-5).

Everything occurring inside these lines is the expression of one word – Judgment.

To sit with Jesus inside of the throne of God, to see through eyes of fire, is to judge all things, with God, by this same pattern. This is what we are now learning to do. To speak – Christ. To see – good. To set or place – function. To call into its place – name.

The God Who Answers by Fire. The God who answers by fire, He is God (Elijah – 1 Kings 18:24).

If your enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for in so doing, you will be heaping coals of fire upon his head (Romans 12:20). – And if anyone should desire to do injustice against them, fire goes forth out from their mouth and eats up their enemies (Revelation 11:5).

Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit… (Acts 2:3-4).

Synergeoing with God. “Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?” (Isaiah 33:14).

We know moreover that those who are actively loving God are synergeoing together with God to turn with purpose all—all things, all entities, all circumstances, all moments—into pure and intrinsic goodness, that is, into the knowledge of God. These are those who are continuously being called as and by the precise details of God’s Pro-Thesis, His set-forth purpose from the beginning, the Blueprint of His House, the Lord Jesus (Romans 8:28 – expanded).

A Purifying Fire. To synergeo with God, turning all things good, is to share Fire with God, God and you answering by fire. The forgiveness of God, flowing out from Mercy, is a terrible, terrible thing, burning up everything that opposes and leaving in its wake only purity and thankfulness.

When the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces. On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram (Genesis 15:17-18).

This describes my own experience as I write my life story, placing the Lord Jesus Christ upon every moment. I feel as fire between my cut-open pieces, but only peace remains.

Four Functions of Judgment. Let’s look more closely at the four functions of our judgment, here with Jesus, upon the Mercy Seat. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was committed to them (Revelation 20:4).

To speak Christ – to see good – to set in place – to call by name. This is our judgment; in this way, we subdue all.

And of these four, the costliest part, the fire part, is to see a particular thing as good. This is what Jesus did upon the cross, even out from His confused agony, just after He had spoken His judgement – Father, forgive them.

Applied First to Us. This is my task as I am writing my life story, to look squarely at every moment and every person in that moment and to call it and them by Christ, to see it and them as good, to set it into its place inside the intentions of God, and to call it and them by name unto myself.

I did not think of this layout as I have written thus far; it just happened by the Fire inside of me.

For it is the opportune season for the judgment to have begun from the house of God (1 Peter 4:17). Writing my life story has been applying this judgment to my own life first, that I might be ready to judge all to life.

Fitted to Our Humanity. This ministry to which we are called has never before been known by humans, for none before us have turned around inside of Jesus, knowing they are just like Him. Nonetheless, as I look at the passages of the Bible, I see that they are FILLED with the expressions of this ministry.

This ministry of judgment is simple and fitted to our humanity; this ministry is the core of God-Fire. You see, this is what we have been doing in the darkness, in our confusion and pain, every time we have given thanks.

Let’s go, now, through each part of our judgment; these are familiar things, yet we are seeing them in a new light.

To Speak Christ. To speak Christ is to judge the beginning of something by its completion in the end. – Let that thought roll around and around in your mind.

The Pro-Thesis now in our hands is the blueprint already proven. We judge the work by the blueprint; we measure everything by Christ (Ephesians 4). Yet things begin only by our speaking. It is the speaking of Christ that begins the work of Christ in any created thing.

Speaking Christ is the first part of the Eucharist, the Blood part, speaking good grace and favor into all, the entrance of light and life, the beginning of creation.

The Building of the House. Speaking Christ into others is the messy part of the building of a house; yet the builder never considers the mess, but only the enjoyment of God reclining by the fire inside His finished Home. Speaking Christ into one another is the energeia by which we build up the dwelling place of God (Ephesians 4).

Oh my Father! I am just beginning to fill in the boxes for Ephesians in The Jesus Secret II. Ephesians is all about this judgment.

Father coming through needs a Home inside creation in which to dwell; speaking Christ is the building of His House.

To See Good. To see good is the costly part of our judgment. Seeing good is the second part of the Eucharist, the cross part, the giving of thanks for the sake of all things.

Nothing created can be good of itself. Even Jesus refused the title of “good.” – Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God (Luke 18:19). (They were not actually seeing Jesus as good; they were seeking only to manipulate Him.)

To see something to be good, that is, of God, through God, and to God, something that looks not-good in the present moment, is to bear the cost of the not-good inside your soul.

The Expectation of God. To give thanks in a moment of awfulness is to judge a thing or a person to be good, it is a flame of fire.

Yet giving thanks in affliction and sorrow must be matched always with giving thanks in beauty and joy. And giving thanks is always matched with the expectation of God arising in goodness inside this created thing, person, or moment.

The expectation of God is the creative power of Fire, synergeoing with God as one Ffire together. To call something not-yet good by the goodness that is God alone is the central element of our judgment.

To Set in Place. We cannot know what we are, we cannot know what anything or anyone is, until we set that thing into its place.

This is the judgment of belonging – you BELONG, and you belong – here. – Fitted together into His dwelling place (Ephesians 2).

This is NOT the placement of this world – “Stay in your ‘place,’ worm, that is, beneath of me!” The placement of God is the joyous singing of – This is me! I was created for this. The judgment of setting in place, then, is a walking with God beneath of all and a lifting up of each.

A Symphony of God. All light is a terror; all dark is awfulness. Beauty is the interplay of light and shadow. All sound is a horror; all silence is loneliness. Music is the interplay of sounds with silence. All feeling is a harmful fire; all non-feeling is a cloak of uselessness. Warmth is the balanced interplay of feeling.

To set something into its place is to know what it is; it is to create the very Symphony of God, singing as His creation.

Here is our place, the singing of God. – Be kind with one another, tender-hearted, forgiving and giving favor to each other in the same way that God inside of Christ gave favor freely to you (Ephesians 4).

To Call by Name. And the sheep hear his voice and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out (John 10:3). – And His name will be upon their foreheads (Revelation 22:4).

To call by name is to call the personal essence of a thing into its being known by all. When my mother hollered, “Daniel David Yordy,” she had my full attention. When you say, “Daniel Yordy,” everything I am to you is found inside those words.

To call by name in judgment is the greatest honor one can give to a person. It is the introduction of that person to all.

Introducing Christ to All. This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. – Well done, my good and faithful son, enter into the joy of your Lord.

To call by name is to proclaim that this person is a vital part of the appearance of God, that God needs this one as an essential part of His expression. To call by name is the completion of judgment; it is introducing Christ completed as this one to all.

I will write upon him… the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, continuously and actively stepping forth out from heaven, from My God (Revelation 3:13).

The Judgment of Giving Thanks. As we judge all things together with God, here is what we are doing, that is, we are guiding each one all the way through this path.

Therefore, also, God highly exalted Him and favored Him with the name above every name, that inside of the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, every heavenly knee, every earthly knee, and every under-earthly knee and every tongue should speak the same thing, that is, the Lord Jesus Christ penetrating into the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-11).

We are teaching each one to place the Lord Jesus Christ upon every moment of their lives, to give thanks for all.

The Burning Flame. Yet in this final season inside the Holiest, before we go out with God as Christ to His Church, we must allow this same burning flame to pass between all the cut-open pieces of our entire lives. And we can do that only as we have first placed God as part of us in every present moment.

We do that by giving thanks.

As I give thanks for every moment of my life, as I call each person into the love of God poured out in my heart, so I feel as if a flaming Fire is passing all through me. And when it is complete, I find myself every whit whole.

As Christ to His Church. As we are completing this final season with God inside the Holiest – all night long inside all the fullness of God-Fire – so God is making us ready to walk with Him as Christ into His Church.

In this love has been perfected, brought to full completion fused together with us, that we together might have boldness to speak [Christ your life] inside the [to]day of judgment, that just exactly as He is, so also are we in this present cosmos (1 John 4:17).

This is not a judgment of us, but judgment through us, just exactly as He is. And our judgment begins with the Church, the House and dwelling place of God All-Carrying.
