“The Christian Way of Life is a supernatural way of life and it demands a supernatural means of execution.”
As we continue with our study on the Doctrine of the dispensation of the Hypostatic-union, I would like to give you a guideline to follow in a Chronological order.
Therefore, My First Question is: What does Chronological mean in our study of the Dispensations?
The Answer: Chronology is the study of certain events or doctrines in the order of their occurrence, especially in the doctrinal order as well as the historical records of our time - which is, by the way, the timing of GOD within the Royal Family. Even if you are going through some type of spiritual drought or maybe you have become “too familiar” with GOD’s word. However, they still are not done playing GOD in other people’s life’s as they even lie to get their way.
There are a lot of believers who have fallen into the trap of becoming too familiar with the man of GOD that they end up like the believers in Ephesus, they begin to lose their first love; REV 2:1-5.
This happened to the early church at Ephesus when they began to lose their first love and they ended up back in the Cosmic System of Satan, only to hear what they had been doing and why they fell away from the plan of GOD. Listen very carefully to the words of our LORD in REV 2:1-7.
REV 2:1-2, “To the angel or literally the messenger or the one who brings forth the message of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars [7 representing the finished work of GOD].
in His right hand [that is the hand of power and authority], the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this: ‘I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot endure evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false;’”
Before we continue with the rebuke that our LORD uses to handle the different situations that the believers in Ephesus were about to fall back into the vomit that they originally had been saved up for a rainy day. Hold your place here for a moment and look back at 2PE 2:22, It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “A dog returns to its own vomit,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”
PRO 26:11 is another passage that says, Like a dog that returns to its vomit Is a fool who repeats his folly [foolish].
REV 2:1-2, “To the angel or literally the messenger or the one who brings forth the message of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this: ‘I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot endure evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false;’”
There are a lot of different ways that we can approach or identify the subject of Dispensational Truth. Many of you have had experiences of the supernatural at times and for years I have quoted a principle of what the believer can expect as he or she goes forward in the plan of GOD.
“The Christian Way of Life is a supernatural way of life and it demands a supernatural means of execution.”
The apostle John gives us some insight as to the works not the sins but the works that the believers at Ephesus were performing overtly but not inwardly. He knew that there are some things or some times that you never really knew how important the spiritual life is for GOD’s people until you saw it and recognized that it was truly needed in the spiritual realm.
He knew that He provided for everything, everywhere, with “His Divine Blessings guarding and protecting (What Else?) (guarding and protecting) the glory of the Throne Room of GOD. He used the children and His divine Plan for all mankind under the super-natural power and wisdom that the Divine Plan of GOD came through for them right on Time - just for you and just me!
In REV 2:2, The LORD says to those believers who were not ready to hear what our LORD is about to say to them that He noticed some things that they had lost. REV 2 & 3, the believers who were using the LORD tried to influence them by making sure that “He was the Messiah that most Jews were still waiting for.
You may also feel that when you have certain needs that the needs you have or may not have cause others to be afraid while you still have the desire to follow the LORD Jesus Christ any time that you want to.
We all need to learn that no matter what, our LORD is doing, He is now residing in a renewed conflict of riches that hopefully we will all learn together some day = Why?
Our LORD used Divine Viewpoint to help us solve the problems that He as we continue in this study. It is without a doubt one of the most accurate and precise prophecies in the entire “Word of GOD.” This is a signal to keep things in order while those of us on the battlefield, hopefully are waiting to be called “by the LORD” or maybe even “for the LORD.”
Main issue = “What does your mind and heart say or think that glorifies our LORD with answers to your questions like “Where do you stand in a relationship with others?” What really matters = How your relationship with people or your fellowship with GOD is developed as you grow in the grace of GOD in all areas of your spiritual life with GOD.
Instead of murmuring and complaining about others, like your family or friends, or your social life, etc. You learn to master your fellowship and your relationship with our LORD.
Therefore, if we do not get along with others, then you must establish some strength and security in the “Divine Viewpoints of life” but we should never want to see ourselves anything less then what our LORD
sees in us. Do you see what the LORD sees when HEe is having fellowship with us at certain times = Do you see yourselves as our LORD sees you?
1CO 15:10, But by the grace of GOD I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of GOD with me.
COL 1:9-14, For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the LORD, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of GOD; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. For He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Waiting “for the LORD” Jehovah (LORD) or [Elohim (GOD) = the LORD (Jehovah) is your GOD [Elohim], so that you and I are waiting for the Divine Viewpoint to live our spiritual life. They are waiting for the “Divine Viewpoint of B.D. and they are; waiting to take over and allows anyone of us to make our day for anyone who desires to do so 2PE 3:18.
Prophecy is one of the ways that GOD’s people can discern whether or not a prophet is a man of GOD or whether or not a prophecy is from the LORD. This was a warning to all of GOD’s people “to be careful,” especially when someone says that they are prophets who when they speak, they speak with grace and prophecy.
They want to speak out and they want to speak prophecy even if we discover that they are frauds and liars who just want to take over the principles; MAT 7:7-23; DEU 18:15-20. Our LORD laid down a foundation for all of us to build upon.
Ultimate Stage = they were unable to be concerned about certain blessings because of all the warnings that Jehovah Elohim, the LORD (kurios) your GOD (Elohim) had given them. So we all need to “build ourselves up by means of doctrine,” or
else we will end up in “allowing ourselves to be pushed around and down” by means of religion and self-righteousness.
Now, as the Jewish people had to learn that very same doctrine that Moses and the Jews were waiting upon the LORD for Him to get them out of Egypt (Cosmic 1- Cosmic 2 open up. They are used to manipulate those individuals who are living as “loser believers” when, in reality they have the grace of GOD and the power of GOD right by their side, to use as believers who desire to get to know their LORD and Savior.
Therefore, there are hundreds and hundreds of believers who have the power and the ability to become “winner believers” if they desire to be a “winner believer” rather than a loser believer. The point here is that all of us have the right, and the power, and the authority, and the privilege of going forward rather than going backward.
However, because these types of individuals will travel anywhere for “Divine Approval” who will do anything that the arrogant believer tried to do.
Why?
The answer to that is that they need to learn HOW to “Be Happy” and How to take someone or some things and rejoice with or without their consent.
Why?
Because of them = No matter what our LORD used to get his point across, He always did it, one way or another.
Therefore, as we continue with our study on the ministry of the Dispensation of the H.U. of our LORD and Savior which I like to call “the introduction to the mystery doctrine of the Church-age, and so we now need to note some of the uniqueness of our LORD’s physical appearance as well as the fact that our LORD used “whatever” to “whomever” He chose.”
Let me remind you once again of some of those fantastic and marvelous blessings that our LORD said “He could” or “He would” use certain doctrinal guidelines for us to continue with Him and for Him. We know that even our LORD was rejected by the Jews, His very own people who turned on Him.
How do we know that?
We know that because the Bible tells us so!
In fact, once again, the prophet Isaiah comes into the picture and, our LORD said certain things through the prophet Isaiah concerning the Jews and their rejection of their LORD also known as arrogance overpowering arrogance.
