A personal testimony...
A couple of years ago we had two labs-one of them was Noah and the other one is
Nappy, who is napping around the corner right now. We had to put Noah down, and
it was a raw moment for us. We get really attached to our animals, don't we?
And so the very next morning I took a Nappy for his morning run, put him in the
Highlander and drove to a field that we normally go to, let him out of the car
and threw the ball and he retrieved it. And there was an unusual thing that
happened that day. As he was getting back into the Highlander and the hatch was
up, he jumped in and there was an exchange that happened. I could feel his life
force coming towards me and I could feel my life force going towards him. My
heart was raw after what we had experienced with Noah, and it was open and very
tender. There was an exchange there. And the Holy Spirit said within me, you are
to live in the heart realm. And that has stayed with me ever since. That was
about two years ago. As I meditate in the scriptures, revelation is exploding.
It is all about relationship.
Psalm 136:1
"Oh, give thanks (worship with extended hands) to the Lord, for He is good! For
His mercy endures forever."
NIV: "His love endures forever."
The Hebrew says,"... For His love is forever."
God is taking us deeper into the realm of the heart into the Spirit dimension.
The Message: "His love never quits."
1388 Wycliffe: "...For His mercy [His love] is into without end."
Literally...to the vanishing point. In the Hebrew, they looked on the horizon
and there is a vanishing point. So they move towards the vanishing point and
there is another vanishing point. His love is 'into without end'. God's love is
infinite.
Love is eternal. Love never fails! God is love-and Love created the universe. In
fact, Love governs, rules and reigns over the universe.
A friend of ours who went to be with the Lord a couple of years ago, Wade
Taylor, said that you must be willing to hear something new that is compatible
with the written Word of God but is beyond our present day understanding.
Science and revelation are converging.
There are many dimensions in the universe. We live in a three dimensional world;
width, depth and height. Einstein, who is rather a sharp fellow, said the
fourth dimension is time.
God lives outside of time...in heaven [the unseen realm] or the Spirit
dimension: this makes at least five dimensions to the universe.
Quantum physics adds another dimension, the subatomic realm, with photons and
neurons that are a compilation of quarks (as far as they know quarks are packets
of energy). This appears solid, but it is 99% nothing. There is a force field
around it which makes it appear solid.
The quantum realm is like a buffer zone between the Spirit dimension and the
physical world. Subatomic.
The top physicist of the Hadron collider (a subatomic particle smasher
underground with a 17 mile track) believes there are up to 11 dimensions in the
universe. I am good with 11 dimensions. The Hadron collider is where they are
experimenting with slamming photons close to the speed of light in one
direction. They built it up, and it took them months through the use of magnets
to get this going. Another track was going the other way for months. And then
they started smashing the particles together. They are looking for the God
particle...how the universe began. Man's idea.
As the particles started smashing together, the very first thing they discovered
was music. As they smashed the subatomic particles, musical notes were coming
out. Wow.
As I am meditating in the Word of God and upon these things, the Holy Spirit
said to me: love-intimacy- is the primary dimension of the universe.
Love created the universe.
We are to live in the heart realm. The song Eva has been playing all day long
about the Lamb that was slain...when I first heard it after playing it over and
over, this jumped in my heart: How can this be? That you would die for me?
Let's not shut our hearts off and live in Him. He died to redeem us back into a
right relationship with Him because this whole thing...life...God...is about
relationship. God is about intimacy. God is about love. Love is the primary
dimension of the universe. The Love of God releases the power of God...to affect
the darkness of this world that man brought into it.
Ephesians 3:16-20
"(16) that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be
strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, (17) that Christ
may dwell in your hearts ( not your heads) through faith; that you, being
rooted and grounded in love, (18) may be able to comprehend with all the saints
what is the width and length and depth and height(19) to know (experience and
participate in) the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be
filled with all the fullness of God."
Wow. Here on earth. Are we living there?
He's taking us into the deeper realms of the Spirit, into the heart realm, to
train our spirit how to release His love and power in order to bring heaven on
earth.
"(20) Now to Him who is able (has the power) to do exceedingly abundantly above
all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us..."
I'm in on this. We are just foolish enough to lay hands on the sick and see them
recover. We minister out of fullness and not out of emptiness.
Ephesians 3:17b-18
"that you, being rooted and grounded in love, (18) in order that you may be able
to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and
height..."
'Hina' In order that you may be able to comprehend, to fully catch, to take in,
and seize on it with the heart this wonderful mystery of God.
To comprehend with the mind of your heart. Not the head. The head is the tool we
use to process the revelation. But here's what we do...here comes a
revelation...say wow that's mine and I'm taking it in(grabbing it to ourselves).
That is what comprehend means. This wonderful mystery of God.
How many know that our heart has dendrites or neurons? We think with our hearts
more than we realize. The Bible talks about thinking with the heart or the
imagination of the heart.
Depth literally means profundity: it is intense insight or deepness. To know the
width and length and depth and height...the vastness of God.
God is infinite and God is love, and Love comprehends all that is above, all
that is below, all that is past, and all that is to come.
Its depth reaches to the lowest of fallen mankind and its height lifts us into
the infinite dignities of the throne of Christ. Love has seated us in the
heavenly places in Christ Jesus right now. Not just when we go to the By and
By...
This is an impartation of the revelation of God right now. Receive this with
your heart.
Ephesians 2:4-6
"(4) But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He
loved us, (5) even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with
Christ (by grace you have been saved), (6) and raised us up together, and made
us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus"
This is how God sees us:
Ephesians 1:20-23 (NKJV)
"(20) which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him
at His right hand (place of authority and power) in the heavenly places, (21)
far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name
(cancer, AIDS, all diseases) that is named, not only in this age but also in
that which is to come.(22) And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to
be head over all things to the church that is us.(23) which is His body, the
fullness of Him who fills all in all."
When you are saved you walk above the snake line where Satan can't get to you
anymore. You need to get this revelation in your heart and understand that you
are above the snake line.
Revelation 3:21
"(21) To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also
overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."
AMP: "is victorious."
There is a reason it says that...literally to Him who is overcoming...who is
subduing...who is conquering the devil and darkness.
Young's literal translation:
"He who is overcoming-I will give to him to sit with Me IN My Throne, as I also
did overcome and did sit down with My Father in His throne" (YLT)
Thronos: to sit in a stately seat, by implication, it means a potentate: one who
wields great authority and power.
Love has made us spiritual potentates. These truths are being unfolded today to
the body of Christ. Dominion is being restored into the vocabulary of
Christians. Too long has the Master bowed to the defeated one- Satan. Satan has
a lot of Christians defeated because they do not know that they are a devil
master overnight as soon as you accept Jesus in your heart. Where is he at? He's
under my feet!
We are spiritual potentates and we don't even know it. Too long the victor has
bowed to the defeated one –the devil.
With God everything is now. He is outside of time and everything to Him is
present tense. Time was created for mankind.
God gave man the authority to govern this world and through His love abiding in
us we are enabled to overcome darkness-for Satan has no answer for this kind of
love (from Lael).
We stay in love- we are a spiritual potentate. God is taking us deeper into the
realm of the heart. Into the spirit dimension because it is all about
relationship. Life force to life force. (Not just passing by and doing what I am
doing...not noticing the person that I am doing it with.)
It is life force to life force...heart to heart. God is taking us deeper into
intimacy which is the primary dimension of the universe.
John 14:2-3
"(2) In My Fathers house are many mansions (dimensions); if it were not so, I
would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (3) And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where
I am, there you may be also. (4) And where I go you know, and the way you know."
"Again I come and shall take you to Myself; that where I am, that you are."
1388 Lakeland
Taking in and seizing upon...
I come (erchomai) is present tense and means to come from one place into
another-from one dimension into another dimension.
Quantum entanglement: 'Where we are He is, and where Christ is we are, because
as He is, so are we in this world' now has new meaning. We actually have dual
citizenship in two dimensions-simultaneously. We are the body of Christ and
members in particular.
1 John 4:17-19
"(17) Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the
day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. (18) There is no
fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.
But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. (19) We love Him because He
first loved us."
How can this be unless we are entangled with Him? Our spirits have become one.
We have a lot of Christs in this room right ow...Christ is in each and every one
of us. So we are Christ persons and...
"(17) But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him."
1 Corinthians 6:17 (NKJV)
We are one- we are ehad. We are entangled with Him. Love has entangled and we
can't be separated. Paul talks about this in Romans 8.
"(38) For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor
principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, (39) nor
height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38 (NKJV)
"(5) Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the
patience of Christ."
2 Thessalonians 3:5 (NKJV)
Allow Him to guide your hearts into the Love of God. It is a heart to heart
thing. Our head will pop if we try to figure out the infinite God.
"(3) By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so
that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible."
Hebrews 11:3 (NKJV)
Let's God to take you away. Become Love. And exercise the power of Christ to set
the captives free. We have a wonderful opportunity here in this ministry. We
just share the love of Christ as people come in. And it opens up their heart to
receive Him. We are just a vessel.
We are so entangled with him. If we 'get' the Christ consciousness, that Christ
is in us, the expectation of glory…
John 14:4-6
"(4) And where I go you know, and the way you know. Christ Answers Thomas (5)
Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we
know the way?(6) Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life."
Way is 'Hodos' and it means journey. I am the journey, the incarnate reality,
the source of all life.
That is why we worship Jesus Christ.
John 14:10-11
"(10) Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The
words (rhema) that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the
Father who dwells in Me does the works . (11) Believe Me that I am in the Father
and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves."
One of the most powerful, inspiring scriptures...Jesus is talking:
"(12) Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me (the one believing
into Me- not believing on Him and then sitting down), the works that I do he
will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My
Father. (13) And whatever you ask (demand) in My name, that I will do, that the
Father may be glorified in the Son. (14) If you ask anything in My name, I will
do it.(15) If you love Me, keep (you will be ale to do what I am commanding you
to do moment by moment) My commandments."
John 14:12-15 (NKJV)
PC Nelson says: "If I don't have it, I'll make it for you."
Love creates. Love created the universe, He can certainly create a body part
that needs to be replaced.
The Lord desires that we love from heaven's perspective to release the power of
God on earth. We are to live in the heart realm, with Him who has intimacy, and
all power.
