Preparing for destiny according to God’s time table of the events coming to place in the future, so that we are ready. God is calling us into intimacy, in order for us to know him, his father hood, and our identity as his sons. We are to be a habitation of God’s presence. From the place of intimacy, of knowing the love of God, we will begin to trust him and will allow him to transform and change our lives.
He will remove from us everything that is a hindrance or a stumbling block so he can raise up a generation, a Joshua generation who will lead the next generation into their inheritance.
Joshua and Caleb were the only two left from the generation stuck in going in circles in the wilderness and took the next generation into the Promised Land, to get their full inheritance.
God wants his children to have their inheritance. There are things coming in the future that we have to be ready for, with the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit and God operating in our lives so that we can become like Jesus. In order to operate as as he operated, he brought the kingdom and he calls us to bring the kingdom.
We have been invested with authority to fulfill our destiny. We need to wake up and take hold of who we are as the sons of God.
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, God knows us, he knew us before what happened here on earth. In heaven in eternity God knew us and he consecrated us and has appointed us for a purpose for a destiny, to fulfill. God has saw our unformed substance, before we are even formed he knew us. Everything about our lives was written in a scroll, a book, everything that has been ordained for us has been written we need to find and see that scroll. Our destiny has always been to rule to bring heaven to earth.
Be fruitful, multiply, subdue the earth, and rule. Our destiny is to bring the rule of heaven to earth. so that we transform not just this planet but also our universe and everything beyond that.
Psalm 24:7 lift up your heads oh ye gates. It is talking about us being lifted up to that place of rulership and authority where we become a gateway for the King of glory to come in and fill this world through our lives. This is what God wants to do through us. That we would be a channel of his grace and power, mercy, everything that he is we would manifest, we would manifest that here on earth.3:31
Zechariah 3:6 the Angel the Lord admonished Joshua, who was the high priest who was standing in the presence of God in the heavens and said if you will walk in my ways and if you will perform my laws then you will also govern my house and have charge of my courts and I’ll grant you free access among those who are standing here. It was about a progression of relationship and levels of authority that would bring us to our son ship.
This is the picture of the heavens that this describes. We are operating on the earth and between us and the heavens is the atmosphere of the earth where there is a hierarchy of rulers- principalities, powers, rulers of darkness in that atmosphere. But we do not have to go through that atmosphere to access the heavenly realms. As we walk in his ways here and we recognize that the kingdom of God is within us that we are connected to that kingdom of God realm in the heavens we can start keeping the laws, the principles of the kingdom and bring in the administrating of righteousness and justice and we learn to be lords, Kings, and sons in that level in the heavenly realms and therefore within us. So that we are understanding who we are and what our identity is. And then we can start ruling the house. That is our own house but also the house of the Lord. Then we can start judging the courts. The kingdom has foundations of righteousness and justice. It is God’s people who are eventually going to judge angels and fallen Angels and we have a right to bring judgment to change things in the world. And eventually to have access to stand among those who are operating in the heavens of heavens.
Once we start doing that we will move that hehierarchy of authorities in the atmosphere of the earth and we can start to rule. Ruling in light, ruling in love, ruling in righteous power. And when we start operating there, the influence that we have in the heavens will be manifested here on earth. God wants us to understand and to access those realms. Quite a number of us are now accessing these realms in the heavens, and God wants to see everybody have their full identity. Then we’ll start to bring the kingdom of God on the earth. Not just in us but through us so that we start to shine with the glory of God and start manifesting just as Jesus did the rule of heaven on earth. That will deal with sickness, disease, poverty, it will start to deal with the things that the enemy has done to Rob God’s people and the world of their inheritance and it will start to get restored.
Therefore, to have an investiture, the next thing before you have an enthronement there is succession. If we are going to be invested with the power of the kingdom then we have to de-throne the things that are ruling in our lives, our self, our soul, me myself and I. There is no place for me myself and I ruling, if we want to see the kingdom of God flowing through our lives. We cannot get in the way of it, if we do we will spoil it or block it. Therefore we need to be dethroned.
Therefore nature which is programmed us in our DNA from our past generations needs to be restored and renewed. Nurture and environmental programming which we had in our life, our upbringing and things around us needs to be restored and renewed. trauma which is experiential programming and the things that have programmed our lives so that we respond in particular ways needs reprogramming. We need to be transformed and restored to our original eternal condition. This is what God wants to happen here not just in eternity but here. Because what happens here will determine what we do in eternity. Once time is finished.
In our spirit there is the father the son and the Holy Spirit dwelling they are knocking on the door wanting to come out and to occupy the seat of government in our lives. And as they do that than they can come into our heart where our scroll of destiny is seated and begin to transform us. As we do that than the glory from heaven starts to flow through our lives.
Basically everything happens in the kingdom happens from the inside out. If we try to change ourselves from the outside in, then we will be trying to change ourselves. We need to allow God to change us from the inside out. Therefore we need to learn how to surrender. To surrender ourselves, to surrender to the presence of God on the inside, so that the presence of God on the inside flows through our lives transforming us.
In our spirit there are different senses or different actions of the spirit that we need to let the glory of God flow through and activate. It is the Holy Spirit coming through those gates those doorways in our spirit that will come out into our soul. As the Holy Spirit comes out into our soul he will encounter blockages. As the life of God flows out into our soul, it will hit blockages and oppositions and things which have blocked all the gates in our soul because of the things that have come from the outside in. So things we have seen, smelt, heard, have tasted touched will have affected our soul.
And if we try to change them by the things we see smell, taste and touch from the outside, all that we will be doing is reinforcing what they are (Operations of the self). But if we allow the Spirit of God to flow through us and the presence of God to flow through us, because we know he loves us, then we can be changed we can be transformed as we allow God to actually do it.
The spirit gates are the fear of God, reverence, prayer hope faith Revelation intuition, and our heaven gate.
The first ones have to do it Fellowship, the presence of God in us. learning to identify and know God by experience of who he is, so that we learn to Fellowship and trust him in that place.
and the others have to do with Revelatory things, where God reveals himself through us. so they are tings where we see things of the kingdom, we hear his voice we see what he’s doing and he gives us visions and dreams and revelations of what he wants to do.
Without the first the second doesn’t really function.
Fear of God – we need to understand that within us there is the all seeing all-knowing omnipresent God, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. He is in us, and this is an awesome thing, to actually think that God who has created the whole universe has actually chosen to come and dwell with us, So that we become his habitation. Therefore we have to prepare that habitation for him to dwell.
The all-consuming fire of God is actually on the inside of us. This is not fear as in I am afraid of God. because if we know God’s love we don’t need to be afraid of him but it is a fearful thing. It is an awesome thing. God wants us to know that awesomeness of his presence.
Reverence – it is the sense of honoring and respecting God, so that we would do nothing that would bring his name into disrepute or dishonor or in any other way. so that we would bring honor to him. This needs to be able to flow through us.
Prayer – prayer isn’t getting on her knees and putting our hands together and saying certain words prayer is about a two-way relationship of communication where the Spirit of God, where the mind of Christ, where the heart of the father are flowing through us in a relationship. And that relationship is two-way communication. This is why praying in tongues is so important. because praying in tongues is our spirit praying and communicating with God and we can do this without ceasing, as we learn how to train it.
Hope – that sense of where visions and dreams and opportunities are flowing. And God shows us his will.
Faith – Harmony Concorde understanding knowing. where we come together in agreement with God when he starts to flow through that. when he starts to show us what he wants us to do, we start to operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the power of God as it flows through us.
Revelation – inspiration, light, counsel, wisdom flow. Now we need to activate these senses, they don’t automatically just switch on. We need to be hungry and thirsty and desiring them.
Intuition – that gut feeling , instincts that we get, that is the Holy Spirit, the father revealing his heart to us flowing on the inside.
And there is a heavenly gate so that we have connection with the heavenly realms and a consciousness of what is going on in heaven.
Now all these things are great. We can have all of these things wonderfully working but without one other thing it doesn’t mean anything. And that is worship.13:19
Worship is not singing songs, although it is part of it. Worship is a state of complete obedience to God, it basically is lying down and surrendering and coming into total submission to the will of God for our lives on a daily basis. On the basis of all the other things that are flowing there they lead us to saying God I choose to surrender myself to you.
We need to build our spirit, if we are going to connect up with God those spiritual senses need to be exercised and they need to grow.
Just like we were going to a gym to exercise physically, or do physical ativities. we need to exercise the spiritual things that we have on the inside of us. Those gates need to be opened and flowing, the life of God needs to be flowing through them. We cannot do this without some effort. No one gets big muscles without effort. It takes effort to develop spiritual senses. We cannot do it by just hoping we have to engage.
How do we exercise. The first thing we do is give God first love, first Place and first priority. It will never work unless we give God the right of having first place in our lives. Then all the other things, praying in tongues, waiting on the Lord, all those other things work. If we don’t give God the first place then all those other things will be a struggle. We have to give God the priority of our lives in order to build our spirit.
Mark 12:30 – you shall love the Lord God with all your heart with all your soul all your mind and all your strength. There is no room for halfheartedness in this. It is all, or it doesn’t work. This is why God wants all of us, he wants us to surrender ourselves to him. You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart. If we think well it be very nice to know God sometime then we won’t find him. We have to pursue him; he is a lover who wants to be pursued. And he wants us to pursue him with all our heart. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding, so much of what we do is through our own understanding. God wants us to trust in him with all our hearts. And when we trust him with all our hearts we are allowing him to lead us to guide us and to do direct us.
Anyone wishes to come after me he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. This is how it works. Deny yourself take up the cross which is his death and victory and follow him. Doing and fulfilling the destiny that he has for us. But we have to prepare our soul, our flesh our mind our heart that area which is our self awareness.
Before Adam sinned he had no self awareness apart from God. Satan offered Adam and Eve self awareness apart from God and they took it. And in taking that then now everyone is responsible to sort themselves out. Until we get our relationship with God back. And when our relationship comes back with God we then have a choice – walk in the spirit and you will never fulfill the flesh. So how do we walk in the spirit?
When we become a Christian and the Spirit of God is in us there starts a wrestling match for control of our lives. The flesh wrestles against the spirit. The flesh sets its desire against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, so that these are in opposition to one another so that we may not do the things we please. We have to deal with the flesh and deal with the desire of the flesh so that we can walk in the spirit.
Who is the real you? Your soul or your spirit? what are the things that you want to do, and where are they coming from? What are the things that we want to do coming from? So that we may not due to things we please. Is it me, what I please- myself? Or is it what God pleases? We need the real me who was created before the foundation of the world on the throne of our life to bring ourselves into line and that takes time and it takes a process of transformation. 18:29
In him we live and move and have our being. Let us make man in our image according to our likeness we are made in the image of God we live in him and yet we need to engage with him.
Everything flows from the inside out. As we give access to the Holy Spirit and the father to fill us and to sit on the seat of the government of our lives, then through our soul and our body can be expressed the fruit of the spirit, the character of Christ.
Fruit does not automatically appear on a tree. It needs to grow, it needs to have leaves, flowers, something to fertilize the flowers, then you start to get fruit, and then the fruit grows. It takes time for fruit to grow in our lives, to develop and be perfected.
Gifts are given and they can operate instantly because they are a gift. we are given some thing we can use. So the gifts of the spirit can operate instantly but without the fruit of the spirit they can be dangerous, Because they can be operated in the flesh and for selfish reasons.
The glory of God, his manifest presence is in us. God will not allow his glory to be manifested out of us until there is a holy life for it to flow through. It would be really dangerous if the glory of God started manifesting through us through an unholy life, For us and the people around us.
All these things have to be expressed from the inside out flowing out. the truth will be who is on the seat of government in our lives, is it our soul or is it our spirit in tune with God. This will determine whether we are going to change or we will stay the same.
Our soul or our subconscious mind or heart. our spirit and our conscious mind in between the two is this area of the subconscious, we call it our knower, or our heart. now in that area there are memories, our beliefs our values lies truth mindsets, they are all within our heart, Jesus described it as soi,. Which had lots of things sewn into it.
This has come through our DNA nature which is from our parents and this has set up defense mechanisms and coping mechanisms and patterns of behavior that come from what we believe.
Also nurture takes place. we’ve had a whole lot of experiences of life when we are being brought up which trained us to operate in certain ways.
Now all those things also get connected with familiar spirits that are assigned to our life who know us and they lie to us and they try to get us to operate from our false belief systems.
Now when Revelation comes from the word of God from the Holy Spirit thinks can start to change.
Now what happens is all those things on the inside of us manifest on the outside in the way we think. So things like our reactions our attitudes our responses fear worry all those things come from the inside and manifest and in our minds.
So when God comes and we have an opportunity of surrendering to God what happens is that he can deal with familiar spirits.
We have to deal with the things that lie to us and challenge us and then start dealing with those things so that everything starts to get transformed.
Our behavior patterns start to come from the Revelation of the truth of God’s word of who we are. our mindsets are based on the truth of who we are, our attitudes, the ideas that flow into our mind, suggestions are flowing from the inside out.
The problem is if we don’t deal with all those things on the inside we are going to have continually triggers which trigger how we think on the outside. And that is where the conflict takes place. So we have to be willing to allow God to transform us from the inside out.
Our soul has emotions and they deal with our esteem our worth whether we feel loved, security acceptance and value. All those things operate within our emotions.
Now as a result of unmet needs which means as a child or in relationships we did not get what we should of Got which was love security and acceptance encouragement and all those things, we end up with low self-esteem or disappointments in our life which result in feeling insecure, rejected being, dependent on other people, codependent relationships to try to meet the needs that we have, because we are full of unmet needs.
Because God has not been able to meet our needs, then we look to the world to get those needs met and we get hurt. Guilt shame all that stuff takes place from the things that happen there, these are emotions.
In our heart we may have loads of unhealed hurts, things where people have hurt us, people have let us down and caused pain in our life ,and because we have not learned how to forgive then there is unforgiveness, which sets off anger, bitterness ,resentment and all those things are in our emotions. They are all emotional things. Those emotions can completely rule our lives, if we let them.
So we have to deal with them. So we have to understand, release and bring forgiveness. They affect what goes on in our conscious mind and they trigger things all the time.
Our behavior doesn’t just happen. There is a reason why we behave the way that we do. Our behavior comes from the things that are on the inside of us and God wants us to be restored and changed and have those things renewed. So that the strongholds and all the negative things in our heart get dealt with. 24:50
We also have a will and if we sin or are in rebellion or stubbornness our will is damaged. And then our will becomes a barrier to what God wants to do. And this sets up things like unbelief in-decision control, doubt, fear, lots of things in our life.
As we deal with them God wants to replace that with humility, confidence patients boldness courage and determination perseverance self-control which is a fruit of the spirit. So all those things can happen if we allow God from the inside out to transform our life. We need to know how we operate; we need to know what’s going on the inside of us. sometimes we have to peel back the layers in order to see what’s going on deeper down. This is okay as long as we don’t try to change ourselves from the outside in. Because it will be a battle that we will lose over and over again.
Because if we focus on the problem the problem gets bigger. when We focus on the solution then the problem gets smaller because we will see that in Jesus nothing is impossible and there is nothing in us that will stop God from doing it if we surrender.
How do we prepare our soul? We have to see the flesh crucified with its passions and desires. All the sin that we commit is an indicator of our need for God. Because we sin to try and make ourselves feel better about ourselves which is an indication of how much we need God. if we struggle with lust, it is because we desperately desire intimacy and God is the best thing that we can find in terms of intimacy and love. All that happens inside of us therefore we have to surrender.
If we live by the spirit we need to walk by the spirit. Are we willing to love God and give ourselves up to him. Just like Jesus loved us and gave his life for us.. We have to surrender and give ourselves up to him to change us and transform us and conform us to the image of Jesus so that we become like Jesus here on earth.
Through the years of our life we have developed blockages in our soul.
The first love gate is the key because all of us have emotional damage through relationships, parents, spouse, family friends or authority figures which cause us to lack trust.
We put barriers up to protect ourselves. when it comes to letting those barriers down and letting God come in and actually be in control of our lives we are often afraid to let go and let God be in control. So we have to deal with those things. unmet needs will affects our soul desires and motives. Unhealed hurts will affect our emotional desires and motives. Unresolved issues in our lives will affect our trust.
Now we have to surrender and allow God, and if we have problems we need to work through them. We need to forgive people who have let us down and disappointed us. we need to be willing to repent and to renounce the things that we have done to meet our own needs and to protect ourselves.
We all need acceptance, love affection value and worth approval significance affirmation identity and purpose security safety. These are all needs that God has built into us .they are all needs that he himself wants to meet in us. he doesn’t want us to try to meet those needs through the flesh.
All of us have met those needs through our flesh. all of us have been damaged. all of us need to be transformed and find God’s love.
So we have to work through these areas our conscience our imagination the reason the subconscious mind emotions and will. we have to work through Each one of them to deal with things that were blockages in stopping God from flowing through us and work through our lives.
We may think this is really complicated and this is hard, no it is a choice. Do we really want God’s presence and God’s power in order to manifest the kingdom of heaven on earth or do we want to carry on living the way we have always lived.
We have a choice whether we are willing to go through this process and allow God to change us.
So to deal with our conscience.
our conscience because of sin and rebellion gets dulled therefore we have weaknesses, patterns of sin normal acceptable behaviors which are not normal and acceptable to God operating in our lives.
We have to be willing to own them. we cannot argue with God in this process, if we do we will lose the argument and it will be much harder to be transformed.
We have to learn how to own it confess it repent of it renounce it. If God shows us it we are not going to argue. Yes we have sin areas in our lives, weaknesses, weak areas in our lives. God will show us patterns of sin when we go through this process, that we have to own. To realize that we are responsible for. We have to confess our sin, say the same thing God says about them.
Yes we have acted like that. We may not realize some of these things until God shows us. we have to open up our heart and we ask God to show us what is going on inside of us. And in doing this we are enabled to repent and renounce those things and our conscience will become really sharp.
We apply the blood of Jesus to our conscience. we receive forgiveness and cleansing ,we refuse to feel guilt shame and condemnation. This is something the enemy brings. Every one of us needs to know that we are righteous, because God has made us righteous and then reverance can flow through that conscience gate and guide us and direct us in everything we do every day. But if that conscience gate is damaged, blocked, affected by sin it will lead us astray. We need to have our conscience transformed.
Reason, rationalism, skepticism, cynicism, denial, projection. Our mind will fool us into putting the blame on somebody else and not dealing with what is going on in the inside of us. This is what we do.
We might have words ideas philosophies doctrines in us that need changing, familiar spirits, religious spirits operating in us, behaviors cycles that we recognize we need to own it. We don’t argue, we give up fighting for the flesh. And we surrender to the spirit.
As we renounce doing that apply the word of God and the truth and then the mind of Christ will start flowing through us. the thoughts of God will start flowing through us. Revelation and faith will flow through us.
Imagination – everyone us has seen loads of negative images we have to deal with them otherwise the enemy will bring them back and will pollute our imaginations and we won’t be able to see a flow of Revelation and images and visitation that we want in the heavenly realms and in this realm.
TV films games magazines books fantasies life itself whatever we seen that is negative we need to get rid of it. we need to own it. we own everything we saw as sin we repent and renounce it and we paint it out with the blood of Jesus. Then we no longer have any of these images in our memory they are completely gone. it is like having a filing cabinet in our mind that has a bunch of folders in it with little tabs that say something and when we look in there, there is nothing in it. We can remember the things that happened in our lives but we can know longer remembered the details of it because they are gone and they have been cleansed. So all those images are completely wiped out of our minds, out of our memory.
If we have things that we are plagued with in terms of images then we need to put it under the blood of Jesus and paint it out so that it is no longer there. we can then have a purified memory and a cleansed screen so that we can see visions and have dreams and have revelation from God flowing. We can have The eyes of our heart opened and enlightened. A flow of hope and a flow of Revelation visions dreams and visitations in the heavenly realms because our imagination is clean, And cleansed. we need to actually do it.
The same thing with our subconscious mind. all the memories, the words, vows, curses all sorts of stuff, every trigger that we know is a trigger in our life. a coping mechanism a defense mechanism we need to own it, repent of it and renounce it. We apply the blood of Jesus and that soil of our heart will be dealt with. the hardness will be dealt with. The stones and the weeds and we will get a flow of revelation knowledge from God to flow through our subconscious and trigger the right things. then we will be moved by the things that move God.
The same thing for our emotions, all the hurts, the trauma the betrayal, the abuse disappointments pain rejection. We have to admit we’ve hurt other people just like we’ve been hurt. if we are having anger or withdrawal or depression,these are things in our heart because of undealt with emotions, we either turn inward or outward. All these mechanisms we need to own them repent forgive and release all the hurts. repent of everything we have done to hurt others, renounce it. we have to start to get a flow of God’s heart. The life of God has to flow into our intuition, so that we can sense what God wants us to do. We have to begin to be moved by what moves God.
We have to be willing to allow God to search ourheart and be willing to surrender it to God and let God deal with it.
The same thing with the will. if we have been stubborn and rebellious willful or controlling we have to own it. fear, doubt, unbelief, in-decision, if they are operating in our life we have to own it repent of it and renounce it.
And in that process we apply the truth of the blood of Jesus and God will start to work his attributes in us, patients perseverance persistence courage, boldness. all these positive things. To get a flow of worship, a flow of obedience in which we are out working the truth of God’s word.
We need to make some declarations of our willingness to allow the Holy Spirit to transform and to change us. our willingness to allow God to show us what’s going on in the inside of us so we can change.
We don’t want to pray these prayers or make these declarations unless we are willing. Because God will put the squeeze on us like we have never known, if we are not willing. It’s better not to say that if we don’t mean it. We are giving permission to God to work in our lives. He will listen to what we are saying and the authority that we are giving him and he is going to start to move. There will be a release of the angelic to operate in our lives. Seraphim angels with coals of fire and other angels, the gathering angels to remove the stumbling blocks from our lives.

We thank you lord that you do not punish us, but discipline us to transform us into the person that you have called us to be.
