“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Psalms 24: 3 - 7 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?

He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah

Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Hallelujah

Church of Glory - as a pattern

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I hope in the Lord that the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days has been useful for your lives. This is because Our Lord Jesus Christ is revealing himself as the fountain of water springing unto everlasting life. God is showing us that in our everyday lives the living water which is the word of God is manifested from our souls through The Holy Spirit - the bride.

In John 3: 34 - 36  For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. 

The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.  

He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

From this, what we need to understand is that if we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and if faith is present in deeds in our lives God gives us this spring in our soul which is the anointing of the bride. (Experience of the church)

We see that because Isaac's son Esau sold his birthright fleshly thoughts are manifested within him. So he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite. 

And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah.

From this what we understand is that in God's church those who have not received God's spirit will act according to the flesh. The characters which are inside them are Galatians 5: 19 - 21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 

envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Those who have such characters will always be a pain to God's church and always create a confusion within the church. In these matters, we must be careful that fleshly thoughts do not come into us.

Jude 1: 12, 13 These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 

raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

Jude 1: 19 These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

Because such people have not received God's spirit their natural characters  have not yet died from them. Such people cannot inherit the kingdom of God. 

Therefore, we must obey to God's church and participate in the church worship and only if we receive the Spirit given by God our natural characters will be removed. 

We must take baptism only after our natural characters are changed. Then we will receive the new spirit and be in fellowship with Christ.

Only if we will be in fellowship with God's church in this manner, we will be able to receive eternal life and live a blessed life.  Otherwise like Esau who lost all his possession we also will lose it because it is leaving the tent and working outside but Jacob is possessing it he lives in the tent.

Our Lord Jesus is showing this as a pattern that when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” And he answered him, “Here I am.”

Then Isaac said, “Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death. Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me. And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.

Then Rebekah called her younger son Jacob and told him everything that Isaac told Esau and in Genesis 27: 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you. 

Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves. 

When Rebekah told Jacob that then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his death.” he said“Look, my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man. Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.”

But his mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.” 

And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savory food, took the choice clothes of her elder son Esau, for her younger son and put them on Jacob her younger son. 

Genesis 27: 16, 17 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck. 

Then she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

When he took it to Isaac he said “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not." When he went near his father Isaac felt him and said  “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”

Genesis 27: 23 And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him.

In the promise that God gave Abraham he said that in Isaac your seed shall be called is fulfilled.

Dear people of God who are reading and meditating on this, because God had predestined Jacob we see such things happening. Eventhough Jacob was the younger son he receives the birthright because those who are first will be last and those who are last will be first - the words that Jesus said is manifested here. Also only who are in the church can possess God's blessing is shown here as a pattern. This also shows that we will be comforted in Jerusalem. God is showing Jerusalem as a mother. It is taught to us that Mother is the church. It is manifested that only in the church God blesses us. Also God is sending them out to work, we have to hunt for the souls, if we hunt in the right time according to the will of God, we have to come first to God's feet bringing the souls well prepared and offer to God. God is showing this as a pattern to us. Because Esau did not participate in the church he is losing that blessing.  From this we come to know that if the sheep of the church are prepared with God's words, 

God will accept the souls (sheep) and He will bless those who are giving birth to souls (sheep). In this matter, Jacob receives the portion of the church. This is because Jacob was a mild man and was dwelling in tents. Therefore, God makes his truthful church - the bride the church to increase through Jacob. And into that Jacob the King of glory has to enter. Then it will be manifested as the Church of Glory.  The Lord makes the church to increase in all the countries. Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all.
