Isaiah chapter 11

Preface— this chapter, with the lead of the Holy Spirit, took a turn toward— what was finished, when Christ said—

“it is finished,” when he was fulfilling his mission in this earth?

It fits perfectly— but I had ZERO IDEA he was going to take this route— but he has a desire to explain what all he accomplished, being the Son, the Messiah, and the Way Maker in the earth— and unto reconciliation between wayward man, and his Creator.

Isaiah 11

1 “And there shall come forth a rod [twig, growth] out of the stem [stump, trunk] of Jesse [David’s father— lineage of Yahshua/Jesus’ lineage], and a Branch [greenness, a shoot of new, a descendant— note it’s capitalized, as a name is] —shall grow [bear out fruit, bring forth] out of his roots [bottom deepness]:

_________________

Our Father is the ‘root system’ of where we come from, and root systems are the base, foundational structures of where all our design and make-up comes from, where we are fed— and from whom— as well as our support and strength.

The Son, is the sprout, that pushed through the earth, making great headway, and bloomed gloriously into the Vine; he plowed that ground, tossed things up, shifted everything— and made the way, for all of us ‘branches,’ with leaves and healing to the nations of people— to grow upon and from him, even being grafted into him— upon the vine.

The root system was already built, then came the sprouting of the Lord, in Yahshua the Messiah— and then, the way was made through his life, for us to join, or rejoin the Divine, self-existent eternal God— as we can now be grafted into him, and grow WITH him, upon the Vine, and FROM— the root system of the Father: The Tree of Life.

The First Fruits of God— are the children that noticed his greatness— the Roots (Father), through the Son, the Twig/Branch and Sprouting of the Father; and they are the First Results of the grafting process, where— they ‘took’ —or ADHERED PROPERLY to ‘the gift:’ The Holy Spirit.

These firstlings of the Lord, and the Father/Son Godhead, with their Holy Spirit— are the children of the Lord that said “Yes,” to the Holy Spirit, and have been allowing his hand to not only give them salvation from the penalty and sentence of their sin— but to save them in ALL the ‘other’ ways God provided, as well.

We often think of the ‘legal sentences’ being annihilated and expunged from our records, as the SOLE purpose and accomplishment of Christ— pertaining to Salvation; but it couldn’t be further from the truth— he did SO MUCH MORE than just ‘fixing,’ or adjusting our records and sentences: he GAVE HIMSELF TO US, to join to— and in that— we joined the Father again, and received the Holy Spirit as the gift unto us— to accomplish this REUNION.

Things accomplished when Christ walked the earth,

during his Mission and fulfillment of.

____________________________________________

1. He came to show us the way, even as a child— that we are to be separated unto the Father, about his business, learning the scriptures, and enjoining ourselves to him: dedication, consecration to the Father God.

2. Even as a child/teen, he proved again and again that the Father was with him, and approved of him— even before his anointing— in that he was showing and teaching the Wisdom of God, and Understanding and Counsel of God, with Knowledge— even before his formal baptism and anointing later in life— as he taught in the places of worship, where the Doctors of the Law frequented— and he made a lasting impression upon them: good or bad, depending upon the rabbi, or priest.

He did all that, without being anointed officially in baptism yet, and he did it by the presence of the the Lord being with him, and the Fear of the Lord— the Father, in him, and upon him; he taught and he exampled the relationship with God the Father, from the very beginning of his ‘walk’ upon, and in the earth realm, with our Father.

He had the strength and fortitude of the Father, from the gitgo— to do all this, and not turn back from ‘the way.’

He had the 7 spirits of God with him, the entire time— even before his official baptismal anointing, and ceremonial approval of his sonship: the presence of the Lord, the Counsel, the Knowledge, the Wisdom, the Understanding, the Might, the Fear of the Lord.

3. He studied to show himself approved— and he tells us now, we are to do the same; for he is the example ‘Son,’ of whom ALL sons are to follow.

When scripture says to FOLLOW ME, he isn’t saying literally, on a road, from one town to another in this earth (though he goes everywhere with us); he’s saying— FOLLOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD, IN YOU, THAT IS ME and THE FATHER, LEADING YOU; just as he led me.

And we will lead you in the paths of righteousness, and the way to go; we will mature you, refine you, raise you, protect you, lead you and reveal ourselves to you— through our Holy Spirit.

And one of the ways in which God’s Spirit led Christ, even growing up, was through his STUDIES of the Word of God— the holy scriptures; because the Father, his ways, his person and conduct, his lead and his plans, desires and designs, his laws and statutes of how he conducts his kingdom, and his nature and traits— are all in there.

Yahshua was asked to KNOW HIS GOD, and the Word of God— is how we do that; we are called to walk that same path, to study the word of God, and to KNOW our God by doing so.

No one else will be responsible for whether we do that or not, just ourselves; we are to study to ‘SHOW OURSELVES’ approved. When we cross over, and see him face to face— we are responsible for what we picked up in our relationship with him in this life, with the time he gave us.

And we are to learn from Yahshua, the example Son, the one who came to ‘show us the way;’ and we are to FOLLOW HIS PATH, that he plowed, WITH THE GIFT HE LEFT US: his Holy Spirit, shed abroad to those who will accept him— as he spilled his blood, and his body was broken for us to do so.

4. He was baptized— which is officially dedicated, and consecrated unto the One God, the Father of all creation— and is our example that we are to do the same: being born of water and of Spirit/Fire, as well as baptized by water, and of Spirit/Fire (in our new regenerative man).

5. After God was able to bond with him, become one with him in his inner man, able to lead him to study the Word of God, and intake it all into his person, and integrate with the Word of God— living that truth within him— he was led to start collecting human students to follow him and his ways, and the Word of Truth; we are called to ‘follow him’ in this, and make disciples of the nations of people.

We are called to not only show ourselves approved— learned, anointed, separated, consecrated and sanctified with God— but then to start teaching to the children, the other children of God, making students of the Lord and the study— as God has led us.

We do this, like Paul did, when he said in— 1 Corinthians 11:1 “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am– of Christ.”

We are called, like Yahshua was called of the Spirit and the Father— to help lead the others ‘in the way;’ and Yahshua is continually ‘saving’ the Father’s children, even yet— in and by all these things we are listing out.

How to— dedicate your life unto God, be separate, study to show yourselves approved in, and with God, and the Word of God, in union with God, being dedicated unto God and consecrated to him in baptism of water, and of fire, in learning how to follow, submit to God, and get sanctified and cleaned up, straightened up, and then collect the others of God’s kids— to lead them in the same paths of righteousness.

In all these ways, and even more— is the Salvation of the Lord— in that we are saved from ESTRANGEMENT, and saved from defilements, and saved from being unaligned with him, and misshapen, and saved from entanglements from the enemy and his counsels, as we become ‘students’ of the Lord God.

Which is really— children of God who are allowing God to reform them from former offenders, who are now adopted into the kingdom, and being INFLUENCED BY the King, and the Kingdom ways of righteousness— as our person— CHANGES, and we live out— the New Creation in, and with Christ; which is why he came, carried our sin sentences, and died, and rose again— to become the ‘way,’ we reconnect with God, made available to all ‘who wills’ to live life out with God forevermore.

6. He delivered people of lies, entanglements with the ‘enemy’ of our souls (satan) and he healed and restored people (physically, sure, yes! But also INTERNALLY, moreover, again and again).

The Lord is constantly ‘delivering us,’ in one fashion or another, all the time.

He is delivering us from Lies, he’s delivering us from False Identities, he’s delivering us from Ill Mindsets and Beliefs, he’s delivering us from Physical Ailments, he’s delivering us from Demonic Entities housed within the flesh and Souls of men, he’s delivering us from Loneliness (by enjoining us, and never leaving our sides), he’s delivering us from Bondages of ALL KINDS— and he’s ‘with us,’ through it all, when we must ENDURE THEM, and he doesn’t take them from us immediately— unto his own purposes.

Luke 22:31-32

“And the Lord said— Simon, Simon, behold— Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

32 But I have prayed for you— that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren.”

Sometimes— we will have to go through things, but we have an advocate, advocating for us in intercessions, the whole time; note, he said— “satan desires to ‘have you’,” which means, he wasn’t going to stop that from happening, and there are reasons why.

He said he will sift you, or REFINE YOU (I keep telling folks, satan has a job God uses him for, it’s called refinements and judgments— when God has found a satanic place within us, that needs eradication).

He didn’t stop it, he said— “I WILL PRAY FOR YOU, that your FAITH does not fail you—” that’s our trust in God through all things, and for his purposes— even when it doesn’t seem to make sense.

And then he said— “After you have been CONVERTED,” that means there was a CHANGE that needed to take place in Peter, humbling, reformation— CHANGING; and after that conversion takes place— “Go and strengthen your brethren.”

Was he NOT strengthening his brethren before this?

Was he not compassionate?

Was he hard-hearted?

What, and in what ways— needed REFINEMENTS in Peter?

We will ALL have to go through conversions within— and God will intercede for us all, as he puts us through what he ‘wills.’

He’s constantly delivering us from one thing or another— even in having to endure hardships, that are working ‘a work’ within us, in that we will ‘share in his afflictions,’ or better known as— the process he had to endure.

He is delivering us from Unbelief, Doubt, Weakness seen as being powerful— meaning, with him we can get through anything → as HE IS our strength, provision, sustaining power and love behind us.

We are FAR more sturdy than what we believe of ourselves to be— we give up on ourselves and God far too easily in this material life; sure, it’s HARD, and we must ENDURE A LOT— but in that, we become stronger, see we could go further, and throw down lies that— the winds and waves are stronger than the hand and heart of God in our lives— and then we come to understand that we have everything we ‘need,’ in the presence of God with us.

We learn that God is delivering our INNER MAN— ALL THE TIME— in one way or another; we learn that God is out to save the Spirit and Souls of men and women— BEFORE— he is ultimately concerned with easing everyone in the ‘flesh,’ or carnal suits.

Why?

Because God knows it’s the carnal flesh suit that will go into the dirt, and return to dust— but the inner guts of the man’s essence— his Soul and his spirit (whether dead of satan, or revived of God, with God) will be what endures forever, in one place (with God), or another (estranged, cast out from God, separated forever— hell, and then, the Lake of Fire).

We must understand, he is ON A MISSION, and that mission is to save the Souls of men and women, ‘by’ giving them HIMSELF— the Spirit of Life, and reviving their ‘dead status’ of spirit within them.

Because reviving that dead spirit, into a living one— with and by the Spirit of God— will give them the opportunity to REFORM in their Souls, which will come into alignment with the holy living God— and save their → THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS and DECISION MAKING parts of themselves— and thereby— satan and his operations are ‘thrown down within,’ and God wins over another part of the Souls of men— delivering them from demonic strongholds, lies, hopelessness, and the counsel and knowledge of satan.

God is ALWAYS DELIVERING US, and this is a ‘part of’ the gift of Salvation that was given abroad to all those who will partner with him— yoke to him, marry him, and allow him to be their God, reformer, deliverer and MASTER over them (Lord).

Salvation— is SO MUCH MORE THAN, just legal sentences being done away with, pertaining to sin; Salvation of God, unto us— IS UNION, everyday, with HIM: he is salvation, and we yoking to him, is the GIFT.

People often want to say, about the time on the cross when Christ said— “It is finished,” that somehow that is pertaining to Salvation of the legality of sin being done— but that was only ‘a part of’ what Christ was implying.

Sure, the finished work of taking upon himself our legal sentences was finished, but MORE than that he was implying; he was implying HIS FULL WORK, of coming and doing all the things I’m listing out here, in this numbered listed— of what he partook in, walked out, and accomplished with his WHOLE PHYSICAL LIFE WALK WITH FATHER, ‘is finished,’ and then— he could now ‘release his Spirit,’ back to the Father— as he accomplished ALL HE WAS SUPPOSED TO.

And all he was supposed to accomplish— was MUCH MORE THAN ‘only’ the legal sentences to be abolished and expunged from our records— it was the fullness of his physical life’s mission that was finished; meaning— he did it ALL, as Father asked him to walk out, not just the legal penalties being taken care of— THE WHOLE EXAMPLING HE WAS TO WALK OUT, to humans, to ‘sons’ of God— to ‘show them the way.’

7. He carried the burdens of others— and we are to learn to do this too; he said— each man is to carry his own ‘invoice, task or service,’ essentially, his ‘lot’ in life, but he said— we are to carry each others burdens, which is intercessory prayer and helping how and with what the Lord leads us to.

The Strong’s has burden used in Galatians 6:2, as— G922, load or weights (issues in life), but in Galatians 6:5, just a few verses down, the word for burden is G5413, which is— INVOICE, or SERVICE: meaning, God has something he has written, and tagged to our very lives that we ourselves will be responsible for carrying out.

Each man will be responsible for his own life and/or ‘lot,’ God has bestowed upon him— but we are to help them carry their burdens— all they need assistance with, and to reach out to Father, and pray him about them; but each man will be responsible for walking out his own life, and joining to Father, through the Spirit of God— to walk the ‘lot’ in life that was written and handed them.

We will be responsible for our own lives, and walking them with God, “the load.” But sharing and carrying other’s burdens, is the job of the ‘body,’ of Christ— as Christ’s person carried the very same upon this earth: it’s called ministering to God, and to man.

8. He showed us to forgive, and in that he said— “if you are faithful to dismiss charges against others (forgiveness, mercy), for they know not what they do— your Father in heaven will be faithful to forgive YOU of your charges of ill, and evil/sin; but— if we will not forgive, our heavenly Father will not forgive us.”

Yahshua walked out the exemplified life of God the Father, in a human suit form, as ‘child of God,’ and spoke the words and lived the conduct of the holy Father— we are to do the same, and in that— we are ‘saved’ from many demonic traps and snares in this life.

God, in the life of the Son— Yahshua Hamashiach, Jesus the Christ— walked out how to do life in this earth, whilst partnering with the holy Father and the Spirit; part of Salvation is gaining that way to live united to the Father again— it’s the PURPOSE of ‘forgiving our legal penalties,’ for the legal offenses against God, which led to estrangement, and had to be dealt with— TO REGAIN THE RELATIONSHIP.

Salvation, and the sentences of sin guiltiness being abolished— is only the GATEWAY into reconciliations to the holy living God once again; we have SO MUCH MORE HE GAVE US: namely— himself.

We gained HIM back into our lives, and not just back— but YOKED TO, AS ONE; where no one can ever take him from us again.

WE are the only ones who can say ‘no’ to him now— I pray we say ‘yes’ to him, in all the ways he needs us to.

9. He showed us mercy and truth; he lived the truth of his identity and the Father’s identity— for he came out of/from him— and he walked in mercy.

We too are called to walk in the truth, that’s the scriptures and the Spirit of the living God, as he is, and finds his being— and we are called to walk mercifully through this life— forgiving others, and helping them, assisting them, and uplifting them— above even our own selves and lives; for this is what the Son exemplified.

He showed us the way to living SACRIFICIAL LIVES— which means lives that are ‘spent’ on others, namely God first, then the body/brethren— and not on selves and what we can enjoy and partake in here, for ourselves.

He exemplified the GIVEN UP LIFE and LIFETIME— unto the Father— and we are to do the same, as he walked out, and showed us the ‘way.’

This place is a ‘mission field’ we are sowing into it, ministering unto the needs of God in this place— taking God’s will from heaven, and injecting it here in the earth, through the sacrificial, laid down life— where man in flesh, partners with God in Spirit, and we MOVE and CHANGE this earth, and the people in it— by his WILL being established.

We are called to give up our lives here, in the 80 or so years we are given upon this dirt earth— and give it to him, to live out of us, as he wills, and reach his children with all the deliverance, and justifications he needs to bring to them (which means, uprighting and molding).

10. He couldn’t have exemplified how we are ‘saved’ from SELFISHNESS, SELF-CENTEREDNESS, and THE PRIDE OF LIFE— any better than how he walked with the Father.

He showed us salvation from the pride of life is gained in humbly living with God, and living sacrificially, giving up all we ‘could’ pursue in this life, that would lead us down paths that would not fulfill the MISSION FIELD NEEDS here in this earth— if we get caught up in ‘self gratifications.’

He exemplified the ‘laid down life,’ to us all— and in that, we gain salvation from pride: humility and sacrifice, God’s way, and living in obedience to him, and preferring others over self, and self fulfilments— leads to salvation of pride, and self focus.

And self focus is the sin of satan, and it is the display of being a ‘self god,’ and rejecting have the REAL God over us; self being the most important one in a person’s life, over giving to others first, from our finances, hearts, time, sweat and efforts— is what satan does, and it is being ‘god,’ in one’s life.

It is where one has become the NUMBER ONE HONCHO in our lives— and that role is made for one, and one only— God holy.

Yahshua demonstrated how to throw satan down within, and how to erect God holy into his rightful position— and that— IS PART OF SALVATION; saving us inside from the Pride of Life— which came from the tree of the knowledge of “how to be satanic,” that the ‘fallen one’ sowed into us, when we took, and ate ‘his fruit.’

Yahshua was the best example of how to throw satan down and out from within— all the thoughts, and temptations to ‘follow his ways—’ and we are to learn and do the same; and in that— we are ‘saved’ daily, hourly, and from situation to situation in our lives.

11. He exampled how he died to sin, was buried in that old suit, and was raised again— ANEW, and in and with, God holy, and BY— his Spirit.

We too are to learn from this with God, and join in what Yahshua exemplified, when he took the hand of the Almighty to be dead to sinning, and reborn in the New Image— completely, as he was raised UNCORRUPTED from the grave.

And then he walked out the New Creation, and unto his students for 40 days after the resurrection of his New Image and Creation; we too are called as well— walk out the relationship, resurrected with and by God, in the Newness of Life, and lead others into this as well.

He schooled his students in and from this regenerative life, and we are called to do the same.

He showed us the WAY, over and over again— one incident, situation, place and person— again, and again.

We too are called to live and walk with the Father and the Son, through the Spirit, and exemplify the heavenly family relationship in the earth, just as Yahshua did; Father, and Son, and their holy Spirit— now have US to show themselves to the world ‘through.’

We have to come into ONENESS with him, in order to allow them to do that; and in that, we are agreeing for them to remake us entirely— so they themselves can do through us, what Father did through Yahshua— the 2, became 1 living entity in HARMONY, TOGETHER.

The New Creation of ‘oneness’ was exemplified and shown out perfectly in the life of the Son, to help all of God’s other ‘sons’ how to do the walk with the Father and his Spirit, through the life of the Son, as well.

So, when we hear that ‘it is finished,’ it is MUCH MORE THAN only about our ‘legal sentencing of sin being done away with,’ when we accept the relationship of reconciliation with and to the Father, our Creator again— it is about the Son’s ENTIRE MISSION, having been ‘fulfilled.’

It is finished— means—

“All I came to DO— I HAVE FINISHED.”

And folks, a legal penalty being expunged, when we take to living life yoked to the holy Creator again— is only ONE WAY we are ‘saved’ by him. We are saved over and over again, daily— by HIM, HIMSELF.

He himself is the Gift that keeps on giving.

He himself is the treasure.

He himself and being able to be yoked to him again— is the REAL ACCOMPLISHMENT OF CALVARY, and the whipping, scourging, bruised, crushed, brokenness he endured for us.

The legal sentence we had over us, with sin— is just the ‘legalities being dealt with;’ the rest of ‘being saved,’ is multifaceted, and it has to do with WALKING LIFE WITH HIM, ‘in’ the REUNION, re-yoking, partnering with him: THAT— is true salvation— being REUNITED, QUITE LITERALLY— to the holy living God again.

Legalities, are just that; we are saved by being connected to him again— and ‘one thing’ he accomplished in his mission, was to DO THE OLD COVENANT FULLY, PERFECTLY— to ‘open the door’ to us again, to reconnect with him, with all HINDRANCES REMOVED— by taken care of the ‘legalities.’

But the GIFT, is not the removal of the legalities, that is the means by which we reconnect—

the GIFT → is HIM.

Salvation, always has been → God, and being able to rejoin him again; it was ‘accomplished,’ by the life of the Son.

And the life of the Son— is SO MUCH MORE THAN, one facet of what he accomplished in the earth with removing the legal sentences— the life of the Son was EXEMPLARY.

Definition exemplary— serving as a desirable model; representing the best of its kind;

root definition— ‘sample, imitation.’

Salvation— is union to a person again; the way to that, was the ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE SON, in his life here— as he exemplified the way to do life with the Father.

And the legalities that ‘opened the door’ to the way back to the Father, was taken care of by the life of the Son— as he rocked out the old marriage covenant to the Father, flawlessly in his walk with God— and paved the way for us to do so now— by giving us his Spirit to live with, making all things possible.

And he CLEARED THE LEGAL DEBT in doing that; now, all who YOKE TO ‘him’ —HAVE A CLEARED LEGAL DEBT TOO!

But Salvation— is more than the legal debts being paid— it’s REJOINING HIM, IN LIFE, and being YOKED TO HIM, forever more, as he leads, guides, reforms, commands, corrects and walks with us in our lives— forever more delivering us from— lies, devils, brokenness, loneliness, separation of estrangement, ill thinking, overwhelmed emotions, bad decision making, being a self ‘god’ in pride of life; he saves us from following satan, breaking down satan’s holds, logic, counsel and leading in our lives— and to bring us into LIFE, and LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY WITH HIM → IN HIS TREE.

{Did you know the brain has 2 hemispheres that look like a tree, with connecting synapses and neurons— like roots and paths of feeding; and did you know the hearts of men, are made in 2 hemispheres, or chambers too, resembling a tree, with it’s veins and root systems too.

So, WE NEED TO GET INTO THE RIGHT TREES, inside our minds and hearts— because it’s either satan’s tree and knowledge operating in there— which is the death of us; or, it’s God tree of LIFE operating in our hearts and minds.

The choice is ours!}

The ‘legalities’ just paved the way to life with him, and being joined and engrafted into him—

The VINE/BRANCH/SPROUTING of the Father— the ROOT SYSTEM: and in that, we are the first fruit branches, or OFFSHOOTS of him.

Salvation is being joined, grafted into him, and his Tree of LIFE, at the same time being uprooted from satan’s tree and counsels and lead in our lives.

HE IS SALVATION— the removal of the guilty sentences, were only a ‘portion of’ true salvation; it’s just what he DID to pave the way to ‘life with God,’ being REJOINED TO HIM.

So— “It is finished,” has opened up the doorway of the possibility of being rejoined to him.

And he did say in— Revelation 3:20-21

”Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and OPENS THE DOOR— I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcomes— I will grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame— and am set down with my Father in his throne.”

The doorway was provided, the Son is the door, scripture says—BUT, we have to ‘open up to him,’ inside our hearts and minds, for him to come in and sup with us— that’s live life with us, and do all he and his Spirit is sent to do, and help us with; the legalities of sin were blown away by Yahshua and how he lived with the Father— now, the rest of taking his hand in marriage, is up to each of us.

But if we will do that, allow him in— having paid our penalties, and shown us the example way to live life with the Father, and we say YES to all of that— we will then endure to the end of this lifetime here with him, and he will seat us IN HIS THRONE ROOM WITH HIM, as he is seated with our Father, there.

Legal penalties being eradicated, is only one way in which God has saved us, and continues to save us; which, again, means— MAKES US COMPLETE IN HIM— delivering us unto himself, which is the definition of Salvation.

2 “And the spirit [wind, breath/exhalation, rational being and expression] of the LORD [self-existent eternal one] —shall rest [settle down upon, dwell, stay, remain] upon him, the spirit [wind, breath/exhalation, rational being and expression] of wisdom [good sense— skilful and wise] and understanding [knowledge, meaning— full understanding], the spirit [wind/breath, rational being and expression] of counsel [advice, planning, prudence— cautiousness and judgment, counsel and purpose] and might [force, valor, victory, mastery], the spirit [breath/wind of rational being and expression] of knowledge [cunning knowing] and of the fear [moral reverence] of the LORD [self-existent eternal one];”

________________

*Note, the Son {as he is the Branch/Vine of the roots of the Father} carries the fulness of the 7 spirits of God, within himself, and upon himself— as the Spirit of God rests, remains and dwells with him.

________________

3 “And shall make him of quick understanding [blow upon, breath upon, smell, perceive— of immediate understanding] in the fear [moral reverence] of the LORD [self-existent eternal one]: and he shall not judge [pronounce sentence— for or against] after the sight [appearances— act of seeing, his vision] of his eyes [outward appearance] —neither reprove [argue right, decide or convict, chasten or correct] after the hearing [report] of his ears [show or telling of hearing]:

________________

Here we are seeing, even in the old testament that when the Son will come (has not happened yet, here in scripture) here on earth— walking his life out with God the Father— he will be walking as the Father finds his being; he will be not walking according to only what we can see down here, factually, with eyes and hears of dirt suits— but he will be walking by faith in the invisible Spirit of God, judging according to what the Spirit is saying and showing.

Again— this is one thing the Son accomplished, when he said he finished his mission here— was to teach men and women to live by FAITH IN THE SPIRIT’S LEADING, and not by what we perceive with human dirt suit eyes and ears— of this material realm— but as the Spirit directs.

_________________

4 “But with righteousness [moral and legal right, prosperity and justice] shall he judge the poor [those dangling thinly, weakly, and needy], and reprove [correct, chasten] with equity [a level plain, balance, straightness, justice] for the meek [depressed in mind, gentle or of needy circumstances, humble and lowly] of the earth:

and he shall smite [strike severely, wound and punish] the earth: with the rod [branch off the root/stem {which is Father God}, ruling scepter] of his mouth [blowing speech, command, sentence], and with the breath [wind exhalation, rational being and expression] of his lips [language/speech] shall he slay [put to death or destruction] the wicked [morally wrong— bad persons, guilty and condemned].

5 And righteousness [moral and legal right, prosperity, justice] shall be the girdle [belt] of his loins [small of back/waist], and faithfulness [firmness and security of moral fidelity, stability and verity] the girdle [or belt/band] of his reins [seat of his vigor and strength].

__________________

*Note— reins, like what steer a horse, and turn it about— is the same root spelling of REIGN— like when God is reigning Most High within a man— he is ABLE TO STEER THAT MAN ABOUT.

It is RIGHTEOUSNESS that is wrapped around his center stability structure area of his person— his waist; and FAITHFULNESS, the ability to ‘follow through’ on what he said he would do— is his reins, or steering him about.

So, right living with, and like the Father is wrapped all around his person, giving him the stability to his person and structure— and faithfulness— the ability to successfully follow through on everything he gives himself to— is his security and stability of his girdle (or bridle) of his reins— which is the SEAT OF HIS VIGOR and STRENGTH.

So, ought we to be walking in his righteous ways as well— which is— being morally and spiritually legally RIGHT, walking in justice too??

And ought we also be walking in FAITHFULNESS, being what we say, we back up, and live— not hypocrites, saying one thing, but living another, and excusing ourselves in conduct??

For he did say, in FAITHFULNESS, or ‘fidelity,’ is found our— firmness and security of moral fidelity, stability and verity— of our persons.

And the girdle of his reins, or BRIDLE STEERING HIM (reins, like a horses steering) is his— SEAT OF HIS VIGOR and STRENGTH (that’s being yoked to the Father, guiding him, as he’s steered about by him).

Ought we not walk with our bridles on, and our person be ‘turned about’ by the holy living God’s Spirit— and we too, then— find our in VIGOR and STRENGTH of that union, having him as OUR LORD, too— like Yahshua had the Father leading him in all his ways??

We have much to learn of ‘what saves us’ in this life— by EXAMINING the life of the Son.

Definition— examine— inspect (someone or something) in detail to determine their nature or condition; investigate thoroughly, a formal witness in court; root definition— ‘weigh or test.’

If we walk as ‘sons,’ we will walk as the Son walked with the Father, not flawlessly like he did— but with deliberate effort, same as he did, for in doing so— we walk with all the DELIVERANCE, SAVING benefits, that the Son walked in, and provides to us now— on being united to the Father once again: salvation is FULL, and it’s much more than legal sentencing— he’s a person, and HIS PERSON— SAVES US.

6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid [young goat]; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

9 They shall not hurt [spoil, break, afflict, harm, or deal ill with] nor destroy [ruin or waste] in all my holy [sanctified and consecrated] mountain [promoted hill, high place]: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord— as/like the waters cover the sea.”

_________________

When God holy is present, and his kingdom is being upheld— PEACE in, and on earth, and all places he finds his being— is RIGHTED, and chaos and evil is abolished; where he is ‘promoted in the high place,’ (think within man too) his kingdom, rule and reign is upheld, and puts everything in order: SHALOM.

And this is done, by gaining and being filled with— THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD; that’s who he really is —his identity, his attributes, nature, conduct, personality, statutes and precedents he lives by— his kingdom, and how it’s run.

When we PERISH → we perish for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, and that knowledge and understanding is of God, and the operations of God.

Hosea 4:6

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge— I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.”

When we forget the ‘law of God,’ we are essentially forgetting God, his person, conduct of character— and how he operates his person, nature, attributes, precepts and statutes— how he and his kingdom operate.

So, we are ‘saved,’ when we know how he operates, who is person is, and we allow him to teach us, and reform us, and bring us into all truth— like his Spirit is to do; we perish— if we refuse him in all those ways, and we are ‘in speech only’ proclaiming to walk life out with him, but in truth of actions— are hypocritical and are not doers of life with him.

Not perfection in our walk with him, but walking clean before him— meaning, baring it all to him, all the ugly bits and holding nothing back before him— honest and genuine, as he assists us in walking this relationship out with him: in our weaknesses he can show himself strong in us, to reform us, strengthen us, get us through things we thought he couldn’t.

HE— was required to walk flawlessly in his ‘mission,’ or the life lot he was given to walk out; we are not called to perfectly walk out the old covenant— we are called to GENUINELY, and HONESTLY walkout life with him in relationship, putting effort in, unto THE NEW COVENANT— because the legal penalties were now taken care of by him… and so was the exemplified walk of how we are to live— when the Son came and demonstrated it all: showing EVERY ‘son’ how to walk with God the Father.

We are called to walk in efforted relationship with God, to be as he is, to the best of our ability with his strength and Spirit helping us to do that in the earth— thereby walking out the reformation and sanctification process of yoking with the almighty in holy spiritual matrimony: where 2 become 1 entity, forever more joined.

The Knowledge of the Lord is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT, and the only way you achieve that, is by LIVING IN THE SCRIPTURES, and then living the scriptures out, becoming living bibles, living epistles, living love letters of the relationship between man and his God— IN OUR OWN LIVES.

And as he leads us, and yokes to us, and reforms us into his New Creation— we learn the Knowledge of him: I call it carnal knowledge of him, meaning….

“In the material, in the carnal life you gave to me— I am learning you, sir.

I am learning you through all the time we spend in you, where you are the written Word of God, and all the time I spend with communion with you literally in Spirit, as the rhema, or spoken Word of God to me: but in all ways— you are revealing yourself to me, which is GAINING THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and in that— I PERISH NOT.”

10 “And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand [be established, presented] for an ensign [flag and sail— banner and standard] of the people; to it shall the Gentiles [massing nations of people] seek [tread and frequent unto, follow/pursue, ask about and worship, diligently enquire of]: and his rest [peaceful consoling (especially in matrimony), abiding comfortably, at ease and still] —shall be glorious [weighty, and in copious splendor and honor].”

__________________

Not only is the Son the Branch/Sprouting of the Lord— our Vine we attach to, coming to him, and through him to connect us to our root system in the Father again— but he is our STANDARD; meaning, our kingdom representative, and our example.

And we are called to SEEK THE LORD, our Father, the Creator, as like he did; and seek defined is— tread and frequent unto, follow/pursue, ask about and worship, diligently enquire of him —our Father— through the Son (the doorway, entrance) and their Holy Spirit— the means of ‘how.’

And in doing that, we gain rest in him, which defined means— he brings us into peaceful consolation (especially in matrimony), abiding comfortably with him, at ease and still— or quieted within; and in that he said ‘his rest’ shall be GLORIOUS, which means— filled with weighty, copious (that means lots of) splendor and honor.

He is saving us over and over again— in so very many ways; he instructing, and fathering us in— the ‘way to go—’ is HUGE in our relationship with him; so he can save us from the pride of life, and the counsel, lead and entrapments of his enemy— satan— in our lives: so much more than just the legal penalty of sin being paid— that opened the door to the MORE THAN, that he can now do in our lives.

And the more than, is fathering us— raising us, maturing us, reforming us, strengthening us, leading us in what to do, when to do it, and how to do— and unto which people; also in— where to go, when to go, what to say and fulfill— as he leads us in it all, and we face off with → the spirit of this world.

Salvation— is him coming through life with us— to defeat his enemy → the adversary of our souls; and to throw down satan, and his kingdom and rule in our lives, and in the lives of those in the earth: legal sin penalties being forgiven and dismissed— opened the door of possibilities to the MORE THAN, with us.

I am SO GRATEFUL to him for the ‘more than,’ with us; for his desire to walk out so much more than just what he exemplified to us (he desires to start there, yes) —but to desire to take us BEYOND, and INTO— ‘the more than.’

This is where he gets to be THE LION OF JUDAH, in our lives, to us— AND AGAINST OUR ENEMIES; he came as the Lamb, and the Lamb paid the legal debt, but the LION OF JUDAH —will walk out with us the DEFEAT OF OUR ENEMIES in life: where he crushes satan under our feet.

THAT— is accomplished in the relationship, and upholding the kingdom; salvation— is a person, and when he is yoked to, and a holy union is upheld in our lives— WE WIN, and crush satan— which means, all his operations and antics and plans and warfare, in our lives.

Salvation is being yoked to the holy living God again, and HE, HIMSELF— upholding his kingdom within; which is where it resides down here, with man— INSIDE; and we carry his will from within, into the world— and we transform the world WITH HIM, ruling and leading, and commanding— STRAIGHT THROUGH US: but that work begins in the hearts, minds, and wills of men and women.

The ‘Souls’ of men and women— is where the battle ground is— and the Son showed us the way to win against his enemy; we must now follow his lead, and his ways— and yoke up with our Father too— and beat his enemy, and gain salvation in all ways he has provided to us.

11 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand [power, dominion, labor, and strength] again the second time —to recover [erect, procure— especially by purchase, own, teach, keep, possess and redeem] the remnant [remainder, residue] of his people— which shall be left [remain] → from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros [Egyptian city], and from Cush [Ethiopia], and from Elam, and from Shinar [Babylon], and from Hamath [Syria], and from the islands of the sea.”

____________________

He is attempting to ‘recover’ a remnant of people, a spiritual people that desire to choose him, yoking to him, and being like him and one with him; those who will COME OUT OF BONDAGE, or yoked union to his enemy, opposition and the adversary of our souls.

He has set his hand— or his power, dominion, labor, and strength toward helping us, to assist us in all ways and manners— to accomplish this; but we must be ‘willing,’ and say “yes,” to him in this process of partnership union: salvation.

______________________

12 “And he shall set up an ensign [flag and banner— like, for a kingdom] for the nations [masses of people], and shall assemble [gather, receive, restore] the outcasts [pushed down, overthrown] of Israel— and gather together the dispersed [scattered] of Judah, from the four corners of the earth.”

______________________

Note, he is attempting to recover people from ALL OVER, in every place and nation who ‘will’ come to him; the outcasts are those who are set apart, and rejected of the spirit of this world, because they are not OF THIS WORLD, but from a foreign kingdom, and a foreign King— that is not of/like/from this world, it’s cultures or ways/paths.

Note as well— he speaks of the tribe of Judah— the Lion’s tribe; and those who will yoke to the Lamb, will partake in the conquering of this earth (dirt selves) with the Lion; we must come to the Lamb— follow his lead first— lay down a sacrificial life, become living sacrifices upon his altar— humbled and reformed before him, dying as Christ died to self and self pursuits, lived unto the Father, and was raised into an INCORRUPTIBLE FORM (not talking of his physical body only, but his inner person), and walked out the New Creation.

We must come to the Lamb, and follow him first— and bow to the Father in the same ways— then, the LION comes to us, to walk life out with him— crushing satan under our feet, in all he walks out with us: Lamb first— symbolically that is us laying down our lives and being reformed and lead of Father and the holy Spirit; and then LIONS, who will lead with Christ at the helm, crushing his enemy under their feet— as 2, have now become 1 entity, in whole alignment and harmony.

A powerful force to reckon with!

13 “The envy [or jealousy] also of Ephraim shall depart [be turned off, decline, be undone, removed], and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah— and Judah shall not vex [cramp, afflict, besiege, distress or oppress] Ephraim.”

_____________________

Note, the Adversaries of Judah (the Lion), shall be CUT OFF; that’s when the God of holiness has high reign, and his kingdom is established— which is what the Son came to fulfill: the kingdom in man, who is called to steward/manage the earth with God.

It is not OUR EARTH → for God owns the earth, scripture states, and the FULLNESS OF IT: which means all it has in it, humans, animals, entities, plants— ALL OF IT.

But when he is erected inside— the Lord, the Son and the Father with their holy Spirit— the LION OF JUDAH REIGNS!

And SHALOM/peace, Godly order— is restored.

14 “But they shall fly [shine forth] upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil [plunder, take for prey] them of the east together [united]: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon —shall obey [like royal court— be subject to] them.

15 And the Lord shall utterly destroy [seclude and ban, bluntly— utterly slay/destroy] the tongue [or cove of water] of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind [breath, violent exhalation of life, and rational being and expression of] shall he shake [vibrate, and rock to and fro, like sawing— sift and strike] his hand [power, dominion, strength, labor] over the river [Euphrates] —and shall smite it in the seven [cardinal number meaning ‘full one,’ a number of completion] streams— and make men go over dry shod [with dry shoes].”

______________________

This is exemplifying the might, power and dominion of the Lion being laid down, the KING, in the earth realm, and unto upholding those who— uphold covenant with him.

With ease he will subdue and take dominion unto, and subject his enemy to bow to him, and will overcome them— as he walks out his children with ease, from their grips and oppression— on dry, easily traversed paths (dry shod ground).

This is what God does inside man— when laying down his kingdom within, and subduing satan and all his garbage kingdom, counsel and oppression— when the Lion shows up, after we accept God’s Lamb— and yoke up to him in marriage.

_______________________

16 “And there shall be a highway [thoroughfare, turnpike, staircase and path] for the remnant [remainder] of his people— who shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel— in the day that he came up [was recovered] out of the land of Egypt.”

_____________________

Those who will be ‘saved,’ are those who have chosen the highway of holiness to walk with God; not perfection— but serious efforts to yoke up with him, come into agreement with his person, his ways, conduct, nature and attributes of his person— for we came from him, and must return to his image.

He is saying— “I have come for the small group of people who are willing and desirous to truly return to me, my ways, and my lead in their lives; who will allow me to reform them, lead them, counsel them, who trust me and endure all I erect in their lives to endure— because afterwards, to those who will endure— they shall be saved.”

But we have to COME OUT OF EGYPT for that to happen; we have to come out of bondage, which is marriage to satan— and we have to marry God— which is where 2, become 1 aligned entity.

Where we live unto him, his way, and by his lead as our Lord, AND savior: our God.

And not unto our own desires any longer, but giving him a life, for a life— where he can come in and reform us, and create within us— the New Creation, in and with Christ.

We need to step into ALL— that Salvation handed us; and it’s much more than the legalities being dealt with— it’s hand, in hand— uniting to him in spiritual marriage; and in spiritual marriage to him, we are FAITHFUL, in fidelity, and no longer adulterous and living with satan, and his spirit— at the same time as God holy.

Which means— we will no longer walk the ways of the world, by the lead of the spirit of this world; the prince of the power of the air down here.

And if winds, and the current of them, is called spirit, and the Lord said so when he defined his Spirit as being the current of his that flows unto us in the Strong’s of scripture…

Then we need to DITCH THE WINDS OF COUNSEL and CULTURAL WAYS OF WALKING → that satan, down here is blowing our way all the time: and yoke ONLY up to the current and winds of God holy, HIS SPIRIT.

G4151 – Spirit

Greek: πνεῦμα

Transliteration: pneuma

Pronunciation: pnyoo'-mah

Definition: From G4154; a current of air that is breath (blast) or a breeze; the rational soul (by implication) vital principle mental disposition etc. or (superhuman) an angel daemon or (divine) God, Christ's Spirit— the Holy spirit.

Our Lord is attempting to save us from the ‘air waves’ of the enemy, and the winds that blow from him, and all his ‘bark;’ and bring us back into union with the holy Spirit of God → his winds, teachings, leadings, counsel and knowledge— and bring us back into alignment with him, in partnership— to uphold HIS KINGDOM within us.

We have to choose to partner with God, and to UNCOUPLE from satan, and his leadings down here, that ECHO loudly like the winds and waves, where Peter sank; it was TAKING THE HAND OF THE ALMIGHTY, coming into union with him again— THAT SAVED HIM.

We need to remember, that is what SALVATION IS; it’s taking the hand of the Almighty again, and being in union with him, under his lead, authority and power— that saves us.

Salvation is a person, and so much more than— the legal debts being paid; it’s coming into a solid relationship with him again, where he demolishes the adversary in our lives.

HE— is salvation; and HE—

is the gift given us, at Calvary.

And what he accomplished, what he finished— was his mission; and his mission was to reconnect humanity with the Creator —Father again.

And he did that by exemplifying the ‘walk,’ with Father in life, and he raised up Father’s children, showing us we are to disciple (or discipline train) them too— and he finished the only sacrifice that was necessary for everyone’s legal penalties owed in a debt— by laying his life down, upon the altar, and being slain as the Lamb.

We too, are to lay our lives down, and die to— worldly, selfish, self-god living too— and give a life back to him, in exchange for a life he gave to us.

He has a ‘life’ for us, but we have to lay the one down (selfish one, our way), to pick up the next one— the one that is resurrected from death, and made anew in him, and WITH HIM.

And in picking up all that his salvation provided— after the penalties were abolished for sin— he finishes the good work he has started in us.

He started a GOOD WORK, in the garden, then it went all pear-shaped and awry; he is attempting to finish that workmanship, of a Father raising his babies, his children, his offspring, now (those offsprings of the Vine, us— the branches that spring forth from him, and being grafted into him)— as the way to reconciliations with him → has been made.

Now, all that’s left is to walk out that life with him, as the Father raises us children up, in his ways once again; but we have to agree, submit and take his hand, to do that.

Salvation, is truly coming out of being ‘alone,’ and ESTRANGED FROM GOD our Creator and Father— and stepping into life— which is reunification, re-yoking to, remarrying and rejoining him again.

Death— is estrangement and walls and separations from God; Life— is reunion, rejoining, reconciling in relationship, and retaking the hand in union to God again, relationally.

So, salvation was made possible by the life of the Son, and the legalities were dealt with, and the ‘way’ —was made.

But REJOINING FATHER/CREATOR is ‘what’ Salvation is: and he’s a person, who exemplified a walk with the Father, and yoking to the 2 of them, through their holy Spirit— is ‘how,’ we are saved.

He didn’t do his life here in sacrifice unto making the way back to reconciliations as —just paying a debt; that was the ‘way’ he provided to purchase us back.

He did it all—

JUST TO RECONNECT WITH US.

Salvation of men— is reconnecting to the holy God— and becoming his seedling duplicate first fruits of God.

Romans 8:29

“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son— that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”

James 1:18 — “Of his own will he begat us— with the word of truth— that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.”

That’s us folks— we need to let him finish his good work in us, and fully redeem us; purchasing us back from the enemy kingdom, representative, and bondage holder.

We are saved, by HIM— not just the legal debt of sin being paid, but BY HIM being in our lives, leading us out of marriage bondage to satan, and bringing us into LIFE: himself, the Vine/Branch/Sprouting, first fruit of the Father— to which we will be the NEXT of his brethren— birthed out.

HE— is salvation; and we receive rescue,

or safety— IN HIM.
