The Lord is bringing us into a new level, where we will receive by impartation. Are you prepared for it? Isn’t this what you have waited for? Have you been frustrated to the point where you thought, “O God, is it ever going to happen? I’ve been on the back burner for so long; how can I believe?” You’ve got to believe. We haven’t walked this far for nothing. We have come over the threshold into the Kingdom, and now things are going to change.
When you get hindered by the impasses in your life, you are like a baby that is in the channel waiting to be born. What is hindering you? It could be difficult things you are going through or some problem in your relationships. Although the impasses were satanically created, God used them to bring you to the place of devastation where you said, “Yes, I believe, but I have such a futility in my spirit, such a hopeless feeling.”
Often people feel that they have walked as far as they can, and now they are stopped. The impasses have to go. You can’t see around them or think around or work around them. Counsel becomes ineffective, and your own determination becomes ineffective. Now we simply lay hands on you and the impasses are removed.
No matter what level you think you are on or how discouraged you are with yourself, no matter what impasses have hindered you, this impartation will break it and clear a channel so that you can start moving. This does not mean that you will make it all at once, but it does mean that the prophecy can now be fulfilled that “sons will be like plants grown up in their youth” (Psalm 144:12). This brings the day of fruitfulness and unlimited progress that we could not have had otherwise.
The Lord said my hands would never be empty. It is just there. It is so simple. When I lay my hands on your head, I am bringing you into a new level of the Kingdom. As I join my faith with yours, you receive. It’s that simple.
Down in your heart, determine how much you want. Take all you can. Don’t stop with just a blessing. The anointing of the Lord heals wounds and rubs out scars. It is a creative flow that is making you over. You may have felt inadequate, but now believe to be a channel for God to bless you and all of your relationships. Don’t gauge this by former blessings. This is overwhelming, even though it seems to be amazingly low key. It comes through an openness in your spirit. Your relationship to God will be on a whole new level.
When you come for impartation, let there be no defensiveness and no self-abhorrence. Don’t put yourself down. The Lord has to make us weak so that His strength will flow through.
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. II Corinthians 12:9–10, NASB.
He has to do a lot of things that we don’t understand. When we finally accept that we are nothing, then He becomes everything.
There are no classes. There is not an inner circle. Someone who has had a real place and position may feel threatened, but everybody’s position is disappearing. No one will have any position after a while except the Lord. We rejoice that we have been dethroned, because now the throne is His only. We will all be sons, led by the Spirit of the Lord (Romans 8:14). But it takes a little while for us to adjust to this.
In the time of our development, there were very definitely tutors—teachers and pastors—appointed by the Lord; and sometimes they were exalted more than they will be in the future. As we come into this level, much that the pastors and teachers have done will be done by others. This is a time of transition. Some who have been following like sons, standing like Timothys to bless, will now become spiritual fathers. Under the anointing of the Lord, they will do what God called them to do—to father and minister to His people, to His children. The Lord will make us fruitful, bringing forth many sons of the Kingdom.
Recently I had a dream or a vision, where the Lord was teaching me to fly. I thought, “I wonder if this is the prelude to the greater works and the breaking out of every limitation.” I refuse to think with any limitation anymore. All things are possible now. This is the Kingdom. And it is the Father’s good pleasure to give it to the little flock.
“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32, NASB.
This phase does not complete it, but we are into it. It is like a new birth. We are going to see the Kingdom now. Before, we heard about it and it was a revelation to us to some degree, but now we are in it. Night and day, I’m thinking about the Kingdom, about what is going to happen, what can be. I realize how limited we have been in our thinking. We are not believing for big enough things. Suddenly everything is possible. We’re breaking through to all of it.
“Ah Lord God! Behold, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth by Thy great power and by Thine outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for Thee.” “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” Jeremiah 32:17, 27. “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3, NASB.
It will be a whole new world for us. It doesn’t come with observation. It doesn’t come in the way we have experienced things in the past. I’ve told you for years that when this level came, it would be just as different from “the walk” as “the walk” was from old order.
Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ’There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.” Luke 17:20–21, NASB.
We can’t teach anybody what this impartation is all about, nor can we explain it. But as we go along, our understanding will catch up somewhat. After a while we will understand more (I Corinthians 13:12). We will see over the hill that we couldn’t see over before. We will see the vast, beautiful, fruitful valley of the Kingdom ahead of us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
A joyfulness, a real joy from the Lord must be returned to our spirit (Nehemiah 8:10). The impartation will heal the heaviness we frequently experience; it will bring a deep joy to our spirit. We’re going to laugh and be joyful, and find that everything is blessed. There will be a lot less tension and pressure and gritching about things and more real focus and a faith to take hold of the Lord.
The impartation may come like sweet honey, or like an explosion of fire. It will be everything your spirit has needed. It will blast you out of the impasses, the emotions, the withdrawal that has been so deep-rooted.
You are going to become a new person. We can’t explain it. It is not like blessings you have received before. But you can draw it. It’s yours. Take it!
This is the formula: Submissive appropriation exposed to the Kingdom creative impartation equals a Kingdom miracle.
We are not saying that there will no longer be conflict, but whatever you face now will be on another level, and that will be the joy of it. You are not going to be stuck with impasses that have held you back and frustrated you and caused your heart to become sick because the hopes were deferred and you didn’t break through. There is nothing more devastating than to feel that you are inadequate in any phase of your life. Your sufficiency is of the Lord, who will make you an able ministry in anything you do.
Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. II Corinthians 3:5–6, NASB.
We have a vast realm to explore. We should go back and review everything we have learned because now we will hear it and see it with different ears and eyes. Read again the last lesson of the First Principles. The teaching has been there from the beginning; but we were locked into a level where we couldn’t see over the hill.
With this impartation, everything absolves. You lose your self-guilt; you lose the condemnation. Your doubts, your unbelief, and everything else is forgotten and forgiven. The slate is wiped clean. You are taking hold of the Lord with renewed faith. Jesus said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” How wonderful it will be to be in a Kingdom church, right at this point of transition!
Impartation can remove the impasses you can’t see around, think around, or work around. Impartation can lift you to a level above them.
The anointing can heal all wounds and wound all heels.
Submissive appropriation exposed to the creative impartation equals a Kingdom miracle.
