At
The Threshold of Change
9/23/2010
The
experience of sonship, Romans 8, the manifestation
of the sons of God, and resurrection life – is in
the earth. Perhaps for the first time since Christ
walked the earth.
God is
raising up a spiritual priesthood, His sons and
daughters - patterned to and identical with -
Christ. We are witnessing the unfolding of the
kingdom of God in the earth, although it is not yet
apparent just how far we have come into the
manifestation of the kingdom and the sons of God in
this hour.
Sonship
is an experience; it is not liturgy, rituals or
theory. The fulfillment of Romans 8 and the
manifestation of the sons of God is a reality that
has come to its time. It is not about dead works,
doctrine, position or church hierarchy.
Many
have studied with great intent to understand the
times and seasons of the second coming of Christ.
Many have wondered where we are in this timeline.
Are we in the time of His appearing, the
season of the wise and foolish virgins? Yes we
are. We are so deep into the time of the second
coming of Christ that if we moved one inch to the
left or one inch to the right, we would hit it dead
on.
What is
the second coming of Christ? What is sonship? What
is the manifestation of the sons of God? It is
about one thing; the appearance of Christ within and
through His people. An appearance so dynamic and so
identical with Christ, that for the first time the
earth will bear witness to a people, a chosen race,
a holy priesthood, whom God has raised up to be His
final witness in the earth during this time.
The Sons of God.
We are
in the time that the plowman shall overtake the
reaper. A time when the spiritual growth within a
people is coming forth without limitation. A time
when His sons are born running. A time when His
sons are plants grown up in their youth. Who says
you need to have walked with God for 30 years, or 5
years. In this hour we are seeing a people
transformed by an open heart before Him. It doesn’t
matter if you bore the heat of the day and the
spiritual warfare of these past generations. What
matters is that you are here now. And the portals
of a new age are opening up. Whether you began this
race at the first hour, or the 11th hour,
does not matter.
Joel’s
prophecy is coming to pass. The spirit of the Lord
is falling upon His sons and they are entering into
change after change, transformation after
transformation. They are not thrusting one another
through. There is no position in the kingdom of God
except at His feet.
Do not
think you can bring the baggage of the past with
you, for the ground is level at the foot of the
cross.
God is
bringing forth the sons of God, they who are truly
being led by the spirit of the Lord. Romans 8 once
again. We are in the days of the fulfillment of
Romans 8; a people who are led by the spirit.
There
is a spiritual awakening happening in the land.
People are coming alive. The world is sensing the
changes as the Spirit continues to fall. But God’s
people are having a spiritual awakening. They are
throwing off the graveclothes of the age of the
soul; the church age. They are entering into the
age of the kingdom, which is an age of spirit. We
have left the day of the soul, and we have truly
entered the third day; the day of spirit.
When
Christ came the disciples asked Him if it was time
to set up the kingdom. They were ready to go. But
Christ said His kingdom was not of this realm. What
we face during this time is a conjunction of
realms; a conjunction of ages. The kingdom is a
kingdom of spirit, and this kingdom, like Daniel’s
prophecy in Chapter 2, is beginning to take over the
earth. The image of earth and clay feet; the system
of this present world government, is poised to be
brought down. And the kingdom of God is poised to
replace it.
Sonship
is your calling card. The manifestation of the sons
of God is why you were brought forth. How else can
you explain the travail within your spirit. Your
spirit knows why you have been sent, and your spirit
is in deep travail – a travail that goes beyond
words or your ability to explain what you feel and
what is driving you on.
Resurrection life is at the door. The
transformation of sonship and the manifestation of
the sons of God is at the door. It has awaited a
people that would rise in the spirit and become.
Not just have faith – but become.
The
spiritual warfare that earmarks this day is a
left-handed confirmation to the authority that now
rests upon God’s sons. The spiritual warfare will
only increase as we move forward, for it is the
operation of the army of the Lord, the Sons of God,
to move in with all authority and all dominion and
take down every kingdom that has usurped the
heritage of God’s sons.
What we
have known of the gifts of the spirit are being
replaced with an expression within a people that
have become those gifts. It is no longer a gift,
but an endowment that becomes every part of you.
We are
in the season of the school of prophets, as God is
teaching His people by the Spirit. The word says
you have need of no one to teach you, for the Spirit
will bring to mind those things which the Lord has
given and spoken to you. And so it is. For the
Lord shall bring to mind all that He has given thee,
when you stood with Him at the dawn of creation and
the morning stars sang together.
Who is
this that comes up from the wilderness leaning upon
their beloved? The sons of God. The Father’s
family. And you shall be known as His delight. For
He delights in you, and in the drive of your heart
to walk before Him.
Romans
8 is one of the most powerful chapters in the New
Testament, for we surely have come to the time of
the fulfillment of Romans 8 within a people. We
have come to the time of the manifestation of the
Sons of God.
There
may be many looking for His coming, studying the
prophecy journals, the prophecy news watch, or the
prophetic update. It doesn’t matter, for unless you
have eyes to see, you will not see the hour of your
visitation, an hour which has come upon the earth.
The
world is sensing a major shift, they sense it but
they do not know what it means. There is a spiritual
awakening happening in the land, not only within
God's sons, but those whose hearts are open.
The
elemental kingdom of this world senses the changes,
and they too are unclear as to what this energy is
in the earth that is unfolding.
Where
are we in the time of sonship; the manifestation of
the sons of God, and the Kingdom of God in the earth
(the earth of you and I). We are right at the
door. Not next year, not tomorrow; but we are here.
The
world of evil senses it, for they know their time is
getting short. They just don’t realize how very
short it has become. Because of that the
spiritual warfare has increased as the dragon has
sought to devour the man-child during this time of
birthing.
There
is no map to sonship. There is no map to the
fulfillment of the sons of God, but we are here.
And we are writing the last chapters as this dying
age comes to an end. We are in the upheavals
of change and it will continue to get more
interesting as this shift deepens.
Of the
thousands of spiritual books or Christian books, we
have found very little that has been able to
identify the time to which we have come. Not past
tense, not future tense. But here, now.
God is
loosing His seers, the Seer prophets, His Kings and
Priests, to change this age. To complete the job.
To break the tape. We have been running this last
leg of the race as Paul mentions in the book of
Hebrews; now it is time to finish the race. Get it
done.
We
bless you mightily, and we dedicate this book to the
many sons and daughters who have been brought forth
in the earth for such a time as this.
