Our desire is to help facilitate the children of God as the Joshua Generation to function in their governmental positions as sons of God This governmental function is according to our cherubic nature within the Order of Melchizedek. We need to take our place within the order of Melchizedek as sons within YHVH. We govern within the power of His name, being a conduit of heaven into the earth as gateways. Man, Lion, Ox, Eagle. Priest, King, Oracle, Legislator. To function in a position, we need our identity as sons to come from the Father We need a cardio gnosis, face to face, heart to heart, knowing the desires of the Father’s heart is reflecting the Father’s heart.
Matt 6:10 ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’ We need to receive mandates and blueprints as authorizations to administer heavenly government into the earth to only outwork the Father’s heart desires.
Zech 3:7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My service, then you will also govern My house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant you free access among these who are standing here.’”
How will we govern and have charge? Zech 3 is an old covenant scripture relating to old covenant methodologies. We need to see how they relate in the New Covenant age. The issue is the type of priesthood. We are a heavenly, royal priesthood of the order of Melchizedek not of the earthly Aaronic order. There is no Jew or gentile in the New Covenant. We are not under old covenant laws regarding finances, tithes, terumah etc. Jesus did not institute a new rabbinical order under a Jewish system but discipleship. Jesus did not instruct anyone to learn Hebrew, but He did empower us to love one another. Paul, a Pharisee, did not put the gentiles under any obligation to learn Hebrew or follow Jewish religion or culture. Paul set the gentiles and Jewish believers free from any obligation to keep Jewish customs, laws, traditions or festivals. You do not need to learn Hebrew to know the deeper mysteries of God.
Deep calls to deep relationally. You do not need to study the Kabbalah or Zohar to know the truth about sonship; you need a deeper relationship with the Father. There is truth deposited by Jesus, the Truth, in many places. Only seek it from those sources if the Spirit of Truth directs you to. There is a danger in being brought back under an old covenant church age mediatorial system by those claiming to be rabbis operating in the new covenant. There is no Jew or Gentile or male or female in the new covenant. Jesus warned His disciples of 2 things.
Mark 8:15 And He was giving orders to them, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” Infiltration of old covenant thinking and political empire building into the New covenant.
Phil 3:2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision; 3 for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, 4 although I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless. 7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,
Phil 3:2 The circumcision party are the enemies of your faith and freedom! They work with an evil agenda! Be on your guard for them just like you would avoid a vicious hound on the loose! They have their knives in for you! 3 We give “circumcision” its true spiritual meaning! Our worship is not defined by anything external that would even remotely resemble the law of works and religious rituals! We worship God in the certainty of our redeemed innocence and rejoice in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Phil 3:3 Faith-righteousness gives substance to spiritual worship; the flesh occupies the religious mind with its own futile efforts to attain to righteousness. I am convinced that circumcision or any work of the law can add nothing to the righteousness that Jesus secured on our behalf.
Phil 3:7 The sum total of my religious pedigree and sincere devotion amounts to zero! What we have been gifted with in Christ has reduced what once seemed so important, to meaningless information. To esteem the law is to your loss! Faith is your profit. 8 In fact, I have come to the conclusion that every association I have had with that which defined me before as a devout Jew, is by far eclipsed by what I have gained in knowing the Messiah. Jesus Christ and his masterful redemption define me now. Religion is like dog pooh; and it stinks, avoid stepping in it! 9 So here I am; found in Christ! I was looking in the wrong place all along! My own duty-and-guilt driven religious endeavor snared me in the cul-de-sac maze of self-righteousness, sponsored by the law of works! The faith of Christ reveals my identity; righteousness defines who God believes that I really am. This righteousness is sourced in God and endorses the authority of faith. (Faith is a fairy tale if Jesus is not the substance of it!)
Col 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
Col 2:16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day – 17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God. 20 If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, 21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”
Col 2:8 Make sure that you become no one’s victim through empty philosophical intellectualism and meaningless speculations, molded in traditions and repetitions according to mankind’s cosmic codes and superstitions and not consistent with Christ. (Any teaching that leaves you with a sense of lack and imperfection rather than completeness is a distraction…
Col 2:16 Do not let anyone therefore bring a restriction to your freedom by reviving religious rules and regulations pertaining to eating and drinking; all Jewish festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths have come to an end in Christ! 17 These things were only prophetic shadows; Christ is the substance. 18 A religious mentality of voluntary humility and obsession with pious observances of angels will bring you no further reward. So do not let anyone who tries to act as an umpire of your devotion insist on his own opinion, confined to a mind inflated by the sensational and spooky; his so called visions are just a puff of hot air. (In his judgment he fails to correctly interpret the legal implications of the Cross.) 20 If it is true that you were included in Christ’s death, then the religious systems of this world with its rules and regulations no longer apply to you. What further relevance would there be for you to continue to live under the influence of mankind’s doctrines and ideas? 21 Things like: “Do not associate with this one!” or “Do not taste that!” or “Do not even touch this with your finger!” Col 2:23 Religious tradition appears to be very devout and its followers seem to be so humble and holy in their strict observance of rules that seek to control the behavior of the body. The only problem with this is that the flesh is never permanently satisfied.
Gal 3:1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? 2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
Be very careful you are not drawn back under the bondage of the old under the guise of secret knowledge You do not have to wear tallits or kippahs to pray or follow any old covenant customs, festivals or Jewish dates We are new covenant sons of God of the order of Melchizedek who are all one in Christ, free from obsolete old covenant division and separation The wall of separation has been removed between: Jew and Gentile, male and female, heaven and earth We have the Spirit of Truth to reveal the truth to us; so unless God specifically mandates you to learn Hebrew, save your money! And spend the years it takes pursuing a deeper relationship with the Father, who will reveal your identity and position in sonship, using our mandated governmental position of sonship. We all need mandates and blueprints to clarify what the Father is doing. They help us know the What, How, Where and When of God’s will in heaven so we can establish it on earth. Know God’s heart – to know Why Mandates, blueprints and laws are often associated with scrolls. Ezekiel was encouraged to eat the scroll: symbolically this is to receive what is on the scroll into our innermost being/heart/spirit. The scroll’s content becomes a source of knowledge, inspiration, wisdom and understanding to direct us Scroll definition. A roll of parchment or paper for writing on.
It is what is on a scroll that really matters Destiny, Life, Mandate, Blueprint, Legislation, Law etc. Heb 10:7 “Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (In the scroll of the book it is written of Me) To do Your will, O God.’ We all have a scroll, or book, which is the mandate for our destiny. Our destiny is to creatively outwork God’s will as a son. Mandate means to give (someone) authority to act in a certain way. An official order or commission to do something. Instruction, directive, direction, decree, command, order, injunction, edict… Blueprint means to draw up (a plan or model). A design plan or other technical drawing. A pattern, map, layout. A detailed plan of action. An orderly or step-by-step conception or proposal for accomplishing an objective. A model or prototype. A heavenly blueprint is God’s architect’s plan to guide us in what to build. Each blueprint carries with it and expresses the heart of the vision, values and purpose that God reveals. It becomes our motivation and plumb line.
Heb 11:9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; 10 for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Gal 3:8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.
Gal 3:14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Gal 3:16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as referring to many, but rather to one, “And to your seed,” that is, Christ.
Gal 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise.
2 Cor 1:20 For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.
Eph 2:6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. 11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands – 12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, 16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
Eph 2:10 We are engineered by his design; he molded and manufactured us in Christ. We are his workmanship, his poetry. We are fully fit to do good, equipped to give attractive evidence of his likeness in us in everything we do. 11 Remember where you came from; (not only were you spiritually dead but) it wasn’t long ago when you were still classified as non-Jewish, judging on the surface you had nothing that linked you to them. They sneered at you because you didn’t share their distinguishing mark of circumcision, which was their claim to fame! 12 During that time you were distanced from the Messianic hope; you had nothing in common with Israel. You felt foreign to the covenants of prophetic promise, living a life with nothing to look forward to in a world where God seemed absent. 13 But now, wow! Everything has changed; you have discovered yourselves to be located in Christ. What once seemed so distant is now so near; his blood reveals your redeemed innocence and authentic genesis. 14 It is in him that we are one and at peace with everyone; he dissolved every definition of division. (What we know will put war and divorce out of business!) 15 In his incarnation, he rendered the entire Jewish system of ceremonial laws and regulations useless as a measure to justify human life and conduct. In that he died humanity’s death all grounds for tension and hostility were entirely removed. The peace he proclaims reveals one new human race, created and defined in Christ, instead of two groups of people separated by their ethnic identity and differences. 16 Both parties are fully represented and equally reconciled to God in one human body through the cross. He reinstated the former harmony; all opposing elements were thus utterly defeated. 17 On that basis he made his public appearance, proclaiming the good news of peace to the entire human race; both those who felt left out in the cold (as far as the promises and covenants were concerned), as well as to those who were near all along (because of their Jewish identity). Eph18 Because of Christ both Jew and Gentile now enjoy equal access to the Father in one Spirit. The conclusion is clear; you are no longer frowned upon as a foreigner; you are where you belong and part of an intimate family. 20 Your lives now give tangible definition to the spiritual structure, having been built into it by God upon the foundation that the prophets and apostles proclaimed. The first evidence of this building was Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. (He is the visible testimony to the restored image and likeness of God in human form.) 2:21 In him every one of us are like living Lego blocks fitted together of the same fabric giving ever increasing articulation to a global mobile sanctuary intertwined in the Lord. 22 In him you are co-constructed together as God’s permanent spiritual residence. You are God’s address!
We are heaven on earth as ambassadors: we need blueprints to build embassies of heaven.
Heb 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels. As heirs and coheirs the sons of God we are the people of God.
1 Peter 2:4 And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
1 Peter 2:5 Likewise, you yourselves are living stones (co-quickened in his resurrection; 1:3) and are co-constructed, and seamlessly joined into a spiritual house; you are a priestly people separated to offer spiritual sacrifices, reflecting God’s total approval of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:5 Everything that was prophetically mirrored in the shadow tabernacle of Israel, has finally found its relevance in Jesus Christ; he fully unveils the real deal; the temple, the priestly-order and the people are all one in him. 6 This is central to the prophetic theme of scripture: as voiced in Isaiah 28:16: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone, the exact and precise reference to the authentic thought of God; the one who exhibits the perfect idea of human life indwelt by God. This makes him most precious and desirable; he will not disappoint anyone’s belief that he is indeed the Messiah, the Savior of the world! He declares human life to be the true temple of God. 7 His irreplaceable and priceless value is realized in your conviction; the very stone rejected by the unbelief of the religious leaders of the day, has become the head of the house! 8 Unbelief is such a predictable set-up where that which is highly esteemed by faith, seems scandalous and offensive to the self-righteous mind. Since there is no ground left for boasting, grace offends the typical “law of works-mentality.” They are the ones who refuse to see the reference to their original identity revealed and redeemed in Christ. 9 You are proof of the authentic generation; you give testimony to the original idea of the royalty of true priesthood [the order of Melchizedek;] you are a perfect prototype of the mass of the human race. You are the generation of people who exhibit the conclusion of the prophetic, poetic thought of God that has come full circle. You publish the excellence of his elevation and display that your authentic identity has been rescued out of obscurity and brought into his spectacular light!10 You were once a people without identity, but have now discovered the integrity of your original identity in God; where there was no mercy [under the cruel judgment of the law of works, sponsored by the “I am not-tree-system,] you have now received much mercy! If we are going to function as the order of Melchizedek heavenly royal priesthood and as the foundations on earth as oracles and legislators, we need the mandates and blueprints of why, where, what and how to build We cannot build in the new covenant age with the mindsets and methodologies of the old covenant, mediatorial, earthly priesthood There is no mandate to re-establish old covenant Israel There is and always has only ever been one people of God: those of faith
Rom 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; 7 nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: “through Isaac your descendants will be named.” 8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
Rom 9:2 In the light of mankind’s inclusion and redeemed innocence, I feel such sorrow and painful longing for my fellow Jews. (They are all equally included but they just do not see it!)
Rom 9:6 It is not as though their unbelief neutralized the Word of God in its effect; Israel is no longer restricted to a physical family and geographic location. 7 It is not the natural seed of Abraham that gives them their identity, but Isaac, the faith-child. God said, “Your children’s identity is revealed in Isaac.” 8 By this God clearly indicates that mankind’s true spirit identity is revealed in faith and not in flesh. The Promise is the fuel of faith. (The promise ignites faith. Faith gives substance to what hope sees.)
We need New Covenant blueprints to establish the Ecclesia and Embassies of heaven on the earth as the Joshua generation. We are now in the first age that came as the old covenant of law faded away and became obsolete.
Heb 8:10 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds, and I will write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” 11 “And they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen, and everyone his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ For all will know Me, from the least to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” 13 When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.
Heb 8:10 Now, instead of documenting my laws on stone, I will chisel them into your mind and engrave them in your inner consciousness; it will no longer be a one-sided affair. I will be your God and you will be my people, not by compulsion but by mutual desire. 11 Knowing me will no longer be a Sunday-school lesson, or something taught by persuasive words of doctrine, neither will they know me on account of family tradition or door to door evangelism (each one telling his neighbour). Everyone, from the most unlikely to the most prominent people in society, will know me inwardly. 12 This knowledge of me will never again be based on a sin-consciousness. My act of mercy, extended in Christ as the new Covenant, has removed every possible definition of sin from memory! 13 He announces the new dispensation to confirm that the old shadow system has been rendered redundant.
God’s memory of our sins was not what needed to be addressed in the redemption of our innocence. God did not have a problem with sin-consciousness, we had! He wasn’t hiding from Adam and Eve in the garden; they were hiding from him! What needed to be addressed were our perceptions of a judgmental God, which were the inevitable fruit of the “I-am-not-tree-system” and mentality. Revenge, judgment, guilt, condemnation, inferiority, shame, regret, suspicion etc. could not be treated lightly; they are the enemies of romance! If rules could do it, then the law would be our opportunity to save ourselves, simply by making the correct decisions! If willpower could save us then Moses would be our Saviour! But alas! “The good that I want to do I cannot!” See Rom 7. The scapegoat system would be introduced to somehow address and attempt to manage the consequences of sin. The typical “eye for and eye, tooth for a tooth” scenario would be substituted with the idea of a scapegoat. And so, every system of sacrifice carried some significance, but only as far as it pointed to its weaknesses in dealing with the root of the problem, and the need for a better solution! We needed more than forgiveness of our sins; we needed a savior who could rescue us from our sinfulness! This was not merely a means whereby we could get rid of the cobwebs; the spider needed to be killed! The “pay now, sin later-system” had a very real sell-by date! See Heb 10:2 & 3 Had it been possible to present the perfect offering that had the power to successfully remove any trace of a sin-consciousness, then the sacrificial system would surely have ceased to be relevant. But in the very repetition of these ritual sacrifices the awareness of guilt is reinforced rather than removed. God does not demand sacrifice; he provides the sacrifice! The ultimate sacrifice for sins would never be something we did, or brought to God, to appeal to him; but the shocking scandal of the cross, is the fact that mankind is confronted with the extravagant, embarrassing proportions of the love of their Maker; he would go to the most ridiculous extreme to finally convince us of his heart towards us! In order to persuade us of our worth to him, he speaks the most severe scapegoat language: “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!” This completely disarms religion! Suddenly there is nothing that we can do to persuade God about our sincere intentions; this is God persuading us of his eternal love dream! God did not clothe Adam with the skin because of a divine need to be appeased, but because of their unconditional love for Adam; they spoke the language of Adam’s own judgment: Adam, not God, was embarrassed about his nakedness. The skin was not to make God look at Adam differently, but to make Adam feel better about himself! And ultimately it was to prepare Adam for the unveiling of the mystery of mankind’s redemption in the incarnation. Here Deity would clothe themselves in human skin in a son, and the Lion of Judah, would become the Lamb of God, in order to free our minds to re discover his image and likeness in our skin! Humankind is tailor-made for God!
1 Peter 1:19 but you were redeemed with the priceless blood of Christ; he is the ultimate sacrifice; spotless and without blemish. He completes the prophetic picture!
In him God speaks the most radical scapegoat language of the law of judgment and brings final closure to a dead and redundant system! In Psalm 40:6,7 it is clearly stated that God does not require sacrifices or offerings! Jesus is the Lamb of God! He collides victoriously with the futile sacrificial system whereby offerings are constantly made to the pseudo, moody, monster gods of our imagination! This is the scandal of the cross! God does not demand a sacrifice that would change the way he thinks about mankind; he provides the sacrifice of himself in Christ in order to forever eradicate sin-consciousness from our minds and radically change the way we think about our Maker, one another and ourselves! [Sin-consciousness is a works-based consciousness.]) Old Covenant vs New Covenant thinking… Old Covenant – love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind and your Neighbour as yourself (Luke 10:27). This a statement of obligation, not one birthed by loving desire Loving God is not the greatest thing you can do – that was the greatest commandment UNDER the law. You will only end up frustrated and condemned trying to love God with all your heart, soul and mind because it’s a legalistic approach. The law was a ministry of death and condemnation. We are under grace NOT the law. New Covenant – we love because He first loved us (1 Jn 4:19). When we focus on His love for us and grow in our experience of that, then love for Him will naturally, effortlessly be our response.
John 13:34- A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. This is a response to being loved so that freely we have received, freely we are inspired and empowered to give love. The Greek word, conventionally translated as “commandment,” has the root meaning of “the implanted goal,” or “imparted goal” Jesus, inclusive of us, has reached the goal for us and as us in His human experience. Rather than thinking in terms of the finished work of Christ, we ought to think of Christ, God’s finished Man, inclusive of us. He has already given us the glory that He had with the Father before the world began and has given that to us in our union with Him.
The starting point is the love of God for you… out of that love you will be able to love Him, yourself, and others. The delusion of still being under the law has kept God’s children in bondage and restricted true sonship. God IS Love… it’s His nature, it’s who He is. He can’t be anything else. He’s NOT part love and part something else. He is ALL Love for ALL. And EVERYTHING He does flows out of Love. God is NOT insisting or requiring that you love Him… His love is unconditional. He loves you regardless of whether you ever love Him back. That is the basis of grace and mercy: it is unconditionally given.
