Just heard --we don’t enter into covenant. Some have not made an exit-- some are still in the wilderness, and complaining, because they have not entered into the covenant.
What entails the entering into the covenant? Doing things Gods way. It goes to the heart of God to enter into the covenant. We are staying in the outer court, and not fully going into the inner court. Presence is resting and not abiding with in. There are some things that are o.k. in the outer court, but many things have to go to be in the inner court. Question is, are we willing to be stripped of all we think we know?
Are we ready to have some things taken from us that we have greater things given to us? We are still offering up our own sacrifices when we don’t enter into complete covenant. How? We quit this or are doing that--- yet we are not completely doing all that He says. Being one with Him we will see that He is trying to get the spirit in unity, yet we are all doing things differently, which contradict each other.. But in complete covenant we hear only Him and go to a greater level-- one of proficiency. We are not living, for one to live they have to die to self and live for God. Totally committed to His covenant. He won’t enter into our covenant of half baked cake syndrome. We need to be well done through and through. This seems hard but can be done---- if we lean not to our own understanding, and go on and enter in. We get half way there and think we have reached our destination.
We go to His court, and in the outer court where we are supposed to plead guilty, we are pleading our innocence, and trying to justify ourselves with our filthy rags of righteousness, completely unaware of the carnality of it all. If we would but allow Him to strip us of these things, then Holiness and the idea of Holiness just might enter our hearts that we just say I am guilty, and be sentenced to Life ---- Life in Christ-- power Life of resurrection.
He tries to break our spirits, much like a person does to a horse, so that they may saddle it ride it and put a bit in it’s mouth that it will respond to but we won’t let Him. Complete covenant-- doing things His way, whether we want to or not. He knows our hearts and He knows whom He has called, but ultimately He wants us to Know Him.
We all claim baptism in the Holy Ghost-- yet is there more, I believe so. I believe there is a Full baptism.
Where did I get this? Let’s do an, it is written--- it is written that you being evil know how to give good gifts to your children---HOW much MORE will the Father GIVE the HOLY SPIRIT to them that-- That what-- that LOVE HIM. That must mean that there is more to get. O.k.-- it is written every man has been given a measure of faith, and written again is God is the God of increase. Now through all this, it is not us that do the works but He in us that does lest we boast. But we must enter into complete covenant. Yielding to the Spirit of God is not being a robot. It is but the least we can do considering all He has done. It is called, if you love Me, then keep My commandments.
Priceless the Blood of the Lamb is, but what will a man give in exchange for his soul. The money changers can’t help us here. Yes merciful is He even to the end, but we need ask ourselves have we entered into total covenant, where His way is the only way we need?
One may call me a heretic-- not so, I find even as writing this that I do not have full baptism. But it is my goal. Why? Because Like Paul, I want to apprehend the One who apprehended me.
