IN
THE PLACE
Abraham went to The Place where God had created, prepared, invited him to and expected consecration. God made Himself known to man in a most Holy way. In the place of the Most High in the shadow of His presence, we perceive as He sees and are enlightened to wisdom of what is, what was and what shall be.
Gen 22:3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and cleaved the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
Gen 22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Gen 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
It is a place of visitation, an encounter of Holy visitation. It is communion and fellowship. One ascends and descends in the Spirit hearing seeing heavenly things in understanding as God has desired to show us as we meet.
Gen 28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
In Him, in the place one is overshadowed, covered, surrounded, filled and goes out in the Spirit to experience God in His Holy Substance. His weight permeates our soul and cells structure that we are found oh so one with Him. We are found In Him and encounter different measures of His weight and then within from the diverse depths go forth in Him, being sent and anointed to do the work of the ministry with HE in powerful unchangeable truth that is and was and shall be. The orders of the Lord are made known, the plans are revealed and we are sent into this world. We are not the world now being born of His Spirit. Relationally we are allowed access and are moved to know the deep PLACES of His mysteries. What happens in the place cannot be erased for it is written within and a memorial forever in the pillar, the temple, the dwelling PLACE of His Spirit. His church is alive in the Word. Remembrances are made in the place. Experiences without confirm experiences within. The Spirit works are made manifest and also confirmed.
Gen 35:13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
Gen 35:14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
Angels know about the place. They are directed by God to guide us there where God has prepared to meet us. It is a place accessed from earth in heaven yet it is a place God penetrates from heaven to earth. It is an encounter that always affects the soul. It is a place of oneness where on Holy things are experienced with Eternal Value. It is without religion. It is pure in relationship deep in love and truth. It is a Supernatural place where invitation is given to come and directions are swiftly known and one is well aware they are there once they have arrived. It is for whosoever will having been born of the Spirit and invited by the Lord Himself who too brings it to pass and also increases the experience by one encounter following another.
The Lord must be pursued and desire must passionately be expressed in His perfect Love. We are made ready to enter the place God has prepared we should experience. We are shown in the natural many places God sends us. We are shown in the Spirit THIS PLACE spoken of by the Spirit. The most Holy encounter is beyond minds understanding and illumination enlightens our soul in wisdom that we then KNOW in this place.
There is healing in the place. The anointing breaks and destroys every yoke. An imperfect heart may enter here. A heart with intentional sin must make it right to further examine the multifaceted levels in the place.
Exo 15:17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
Exo 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Exo 32:34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
Psa 68:17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
The natural is always a reflection in the Word of the Spiritual. All our inheritance and earthly gain shall pass away. The Word written shows us the Spiritual implications of obedience and being born again in the place of the Spirit that we inherit every blessing of God and know HIM. We can experience every blessing as we are seated at the right hand of God with Christ Jesus now in the Spirit until that day we shall be fully transformed. God is waiting for those who will enter into the blessings of the Spirit made available now. He is ever ready to reveal Himself.
Once a temple made of men's hands in preparation for the place; now a temple made of Gods Spirit in preparation for the meeting place where Holy encounters forever change us. The voice now speaks from the Pillar, the church, His people. They are made one and the essence of His substance intoxicates our soul with the clarity, power, love and truth of His manifest being. We become Him in transformation in the place. Being made priests of the Most High God we hear the sound of His voice and enter by the blood of the Lamb. The law has been fulfilled in Jesus and greater works shall ye do.
Exo 26:34 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.
Exo 38:35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.
Intercession is done by the Spirit that teaches us the mind of the Lord in the place and we know world events, pray for those whom need prayer and receive Divine impartation downloaded in our souls of wisdom that shall set men free from sin and put desire in them to know God that brings forth confirmation to their spirits wooing them to know Him. We were born for such a time as this to know the will of God and fulfill purpose that men hear the truth and the truth set them free. We are sent as ministers of reconciliation from the place in confidence and boldness knowing we are responsible and also accountable to do so.
There is a call from the place to our souls. There is a preparation prior to our entering having battled as the flesh wars against the Spirit at times. Once arrived in the place there is a dwelling where we know with great sensitivity when we have stepped out of this place of perfect peace and love and the Spirit lifts in weight. Once dwelling, there is so much more to experience that is not attained by following a law, rule or interpretation or assumption of man. It is an experiential encounter and one knows when one has entered a new level ..in the place. It is a clean place and pure in heart. It is so deep, so weighty, so large and so high it is without expression of men but with Word forever in beauty.
Consecration, separation, oneness and submission are made in the place. Repentance is a happening before entering the deeper place of the place within the many places within God who is Eternally Infinite in Wisdom, power and authority. Though God never changes, we are brought in understanding in degrees of dimension into the Eternal depths of understanding to the point of which God chooses to reveal Himself. We must make ourselves available and be prepared for the enfolding of understanding. For in this understanding God desires to send those from this place of Himself to speak a word to the needy, pray for those, do the work of the ministry, write, speak and give account of their testimony for His glory and the building of His church. Men once knew of and saw the glory but now enter into the cloud as a witness and a pillar of His church who hold up or edify the foundation of truth and are unified with the precious stones of His hand.
Num 9:17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
Deu 1:33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
Shadows and typologies have pointed us to New Testament Spiritual Life where we are made one in the Comforter that makes us priests bearing the ark within of mercy where God speaks wherever we go in the Living Waters from with from heaven to earth. Memorials are made as the Word is written on the tablets of our hearts. The hand of God Himself writes the Living Word in the temple of Salvation in the Spirit as we are found in the place of His glory that changes us from one degree to another.
Jos 4:9 And Joshua set up twelve stones inthe midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bore the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
Ruth and like David, like Solomon, like Moses, like Jesus, like Paul, like all who know God are directed to, called to, sent to a place of which to meet Him. He comes suddenly and confirms. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for He has anointed me to preach the gospel.....one is clothed in the place to go and do the work of the ministry. A testimony is made unto those who have seen and heard and changed in His presence. One is never the same having been blessed with an encounter of His depths. Pure love and truth is understood. One becomes Holy in this place. One is transformed. One conceives. One births forth. One knows metamorphosis in the place.
Rth 3:4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
Psa 24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
Psa 24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
Psa 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
There is another place we choose not to be found, though we know it and choose not to be found in it. One learns the difference between good and evil. God promises relationship today and experience of Life for those who will be born of the Spirit and continue to follow being found in the Spirit and not the flesh.
Psa 44:19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
Pro 25:6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
The garment of God, the upon me, the anointing, the presence, the Wisdom, the Light, the Truth, the Word, the righteousness, the Holiness, the rest, the peace (shalom), the character, the mystery, the union of relationship, the purposes, the will, the access within His throne, the heavenly wonder of all who He is, is in the place. Those who seek Him will find Him there for He has deep things that you know not that He desires to show us.
Psa 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psa 118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
Many of the disciples had experience in the place as did many as recorded in the Old Testament. They experienced the Light and transfiguration, visions and dreams. They heard and seen messages from God. They experienced the soul converting, refreshing depths of the Everlasting Father of Love. Free from man's opinions, law and defiled religion and founded in the tower of the beginning and ending of anything that is, was and shall be, one can find the perfect place.
WE are born of the Spirit and the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. The vision shall speak from the place of His Presence in the depths of His substance. The bridegroom calleth as the Spirit does invite.
Enter in where all the benefits of God are yes and amen, love is experienced to the maximum, we are transformed and know Him and His glory in wisdom and truth as He sees, perceives, beholds and understands. It is a place of safety and refuge.
It is the place of and is the Living Word.
Hag 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
Jesus knew of it and went alone to spend time with the Father.
It is a place of one accord.
Mar 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
We are invited to Come. The invitation is open to all.
Shalom
....peace
In His Love
