___________________________________________________

I was asking the Lord last night (October 16, 2025) about whether or not we had anything to bring forward to the full body of Christ at this time; because I have been locked away with him moving over intercessions as of recent, and people’s lives with him in the secret place of the altar where he intercedes for men.  And when I awoke this morning his topic of choice was clearly put together for me, and presented to me as to what he chose to instruct us in (at least in and through my life) today: forgiveness.

I would like to first point out that forgiveness is an attribute of God, grace, and mercy inside of agape love— and he is a gift from God called the Blood of the Lamb: forgiveness (the whole ability of) is a construct, and attribute of God toward ‘other,’ which is us; and we are called to extend it the same (when we are properly in Christ Jesus) toward ‘other,’ as well.  Forgiveness was not an ability of man— outside of union with God— for it is not an attribute of the common nature (carnal nature), but an attribute of the Divine Nature (DNA) Attributes of God and godliness.

So why do I bring it up as idolatry— because God does.  And I ALWAYS like a good repentant turnaround in knowledge, understanding of revelation, that brings the wisdom of God forward (trumping the lower and human wisdom of life), that leads to the counsel of God being taken up into our vessels and faculties: I have spoken of self-forgiveness, myself, in the past— but it was a failure to take it deep enough to its roots for what was really presenting when we will not come into forgiveness within— idolatry of self godship— which is to judge for self, and to uphold the judgement of self— imposed above God and his divine person and attribute of forgiveness: it is the result of shame, and then condemnation, and self imposed penance or penalty (retribution): and it is of satan, and it is outside of Christ and his purview— not in Christ at all, but yet estranged in rebellion to his person and way.

I know— that’s a mouthful, right.  But please, stay with me here, and follow this through with me.

Idolatry is upholding anything/anyone above God within us; and so— holding self imposed judgments above God’s judgment— is idolatry of godship: for God means magistrate or judge: and most high God is the most highest judge, reasoning, and decrees or protocol, and is the truth: when we usurp this position— we are seated in the temple as god (2 Thessalonians 2:4).

G1495 - Idolatry

Greek: εἰδωλολατρεία

Transliteration: eidōlolatreia

Pronunciation: i-do-lol-at-ri'-ah

Definition: From G1497 and G2999; image worship (literally or figuratively).

When we stare at ourselves, and reason for ourselves (everything right in our own eyes), we will uphold ourselves very highly within (the high places inside, where God is to be); and we will then become the all important one who sees things (perspective) and holds things to OUR standard and protocol— not to God’s standard and protocol or perspective— and we become a little god right in that moment; who is upholding another higher than God and his rule, protocol, standard, and position— within us: man has always been the biggest idol worship issue of man.  

It was always what served man— not how man could serve his true Maker.  And man would find things man desired and would seek out the god(s) that would bring them this way of life (when pertaining to the pagan gods/demons).  When a man who claims to be God’s child, servant, or companion in life— upholds self indulgence and a way estranged from the kingdom of God (not aligned with the kingdom of God), this man is living in idolatry (serving another above God).

When a man will usurp God’s law (conduct and protocol, and attributes of godliness, righteousness, and holiness) —this man is found in idolatry, another kingdom way, and attributes of: which always means this— darkness has counseled, and the counsels were heeded; and this man has coupled with and upheld unbelief in God, irreverence to God himself and his way, has coupled with satan’s way and person, and fallen into a life that usurps God at his throne and judgement within— to serve another: satan deceiving us into self worship— is the by far and large his best protocol of hell estrangement instruction yet: it is his way.

Let’s look into forgiveness— for it is only of God.  And then— let’s look at rebellion (which is to move away from God, and opposite of God).

Forgiveness: 

H5547 – forgiveness: seliychah

Pardon (this is judicial).

And in H5375, forgiven means— to take away, carry away.

G859 – forgiveness: aphesis— freedom and pardon, liberty, deliverance, remission.

Psalm 130:4

“But forgiveness is with you— that you may be feared [3372: revered].”

Acts 5:31

“Him has God exalted with his right hand— to be a Prince and a Savior— for to give repentance (it’s a gift given to us— the ability to turn to God again and join him as we humble ourselves) to Israel (that’s us, either original branch or grafted in through Mashiach/Messiah), and forgiveness— of sins.”

Acts 26:18 (the Lord Jesus’ words)

“To open their eyes, to turn from darkness to light, and the power of satan— unto God, that they may receive forgiveness (its a gift and working of God toward man, and when we embrace it— we work with him, in him, toward man— even our own person) of sins (missing the mark or falling short of the glory of God and godliness), and inheritance (him, really— and all that comes with him) among them who are sanctified (washed and set apart in the truth and way of the kingdom of God) —by faith that is in me (Christ Jesus).”  

{And faith is full reliance and trust in him and the truth, with fidelity to it.  If we do not forgive— we are against Christ and his way— and anti-Christ: lacking faithful union (fidelity) with the truth and way: which is rebellion to the way, truth, and life of God}

Ephesians 1:7

“In whom we have redemption through his blood (life given), the forgiveness of sins (we must join him in this, upon repentance— turning to embrace him and the truth again, turning from our wicked ways) —according to the riches of his grace.”

As well as Colossians 1:14— which preaches and teaches a similar word to the above in Ephesians chapter one.

Rebellion:

H4805 – rebellion

Hebrew: מרי

Transliteration: merîy

Pronunciation: mer-ee'

Definition: From H4784; bitterness— that is (figuratively) rebellion; concretely {bitter} or rebellious: - {bitter} (most) rebel ({-ion} -lious).

Rebellion is to be bitter still inside toward God and godliness— and when we will not move in forgiveness (release of charges, sin taken away, carried away— and in Christ— forgotten as far as the east to the west) —we are moving in idolatry and estrangement from the Way, Truth, and Life of Jesus Christ— in the Lamb’s blood reunion FROM sin— into reconciliation.

Psalm 103:12, Hebrews 10:17, Jeremiah 31:34, Hebrews 8:12, Isaiah 43:25

“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us (this is through a repentant heart who reveres and honors God, godliness, and the ways of God).  And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying— Know the Lord: for they shall all know me— from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.  I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember your sins.”

It is rebellion— if we will not, either— turn to him again in repentance (and away from our wickedness— which includes unforgiveness being upheld), and humble ourselves; or— if we will not join to him in his ways of righteousness and truth— and instead stand apart from him (independent of him), and uphold another law in our person (members).

Joshua 22:22 (Isaiah 22:22, key of David— is about unity in righteousness and the heart of God.  Joshua 22:22 displays the need of: 22 is about being verily set apart from the world, and into Christ Jesus in righteousness)

“The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods (he said it twice— take note) —he knows— and Israel shall know; if in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD.”

He must show us where we move apart from him— but as in Isaiah 22:22 —it is to then turn, and join him in righteousness again, and unite with his Spirit— no longer being transgression to him, his kingdom, way, or truth upheld.

1 Samuel 15:23

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord— he has also rejected you from being king.”

Why is pride (and the spirit of) resisted, or rejected by God?  Because it is satan’s spirit, and it is working in the carnal nature— which is his opposition, set at making outright war against God, his kingdom, way, truth, and righteousness— as well as his headship: and this is the way of unforgiveness (or lack of mercy), too (even toward you, for you are a man who is to receive God’s gracious mercy/forgiveness— as you join him in the truth).

Rebellion, the Lord says, is as witchcraft, or flesh craft (skill) worked, and stubbornness (even to forgive) is as iniquity (not working with God’s law of conduct, but against it in opposition to it, and him), and idolatry (for it is upholding another over God).  And because we reject the Word of the Lord (Jesus, the Way, Truth, and Life) he rejects us from being kings (or ones who will rule with him, alongside him, for we judge not rightly, nor join him in his way; thereby not upholding his kingdom as an ambassador of the way, the truth and life of Jesus— but as emissaries of another kingdom, way, and person (satan), self— exalted above God).

Nehemiah 9:17

“And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain [H7218: a headship and rank chief one] to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon (forgive and release), gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.”

____________________

Now, I will take a moment to explain to you how we arrived at the teaching and instruction this morning.  I have been tucked away with the Lord working over the body of Christ in intercessions for many days straight now.  And during this time— I was caught up to the Lord (inside), and I was taken and shown something.  I recorded this encounter (and may include it at the end of this teaching, to close things out); and this recording was 13 minutes long, and 22 seconds.  Then— I was working in the Spirit over a person’s eternal and temporal life with the Lord Jesus— and I recorded this for the person— and it was 13 minutes and 22 seconds long: no coincidences— so I wanted to look into these numbers as the Lord and I always do: in the bible books and chapters and the Strong’s definitions.

At the same time as I was about to do this (look into these numbers and their significant biblical message theme) —I read a post headline on someone’s Facebook account: that self forgiveness is not biblical, and in a nutshell, the premise was that it was rooted in unbelief.  Which made me go ‘huh,’ it really is, but it’s more than that— or more or less— we can go deeper than that or more detailed.  Because not one time can I recall (and I sought this out), where God instructed a man to grant forgiveness toward self, of self.  However— he did call us to repent and reform, and to deal with idolatry; so I went to look up the numbers 13 and 22.  And low and behold— they deal with SHAME and INSTRUCTION.

H1322 – Shame/confusion of face 

Hebrew: בּשׁת

Transliteration: bôsheth

Pronunciation: bo'-sheth

Definition: From H954; shame (the feeling and the condition as well as its cause); by implication (specifically) an idol: - {ashamed} {confusion} + {greatly} (put to) shame (-ful thing).

KJV Usage: shame (20x), confusion (7x), ashamed (1x), greatly (1x), shameful thing (1x).

Jesus came to endure the Cross— despising the shame— which means— 

Hebrews 12:1-2

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising [G2706: thinking against, disesteeming] the shame [G152: disgrace, dishonesty], and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Shame— separates: Christ— unites.  Unforgiveness separates— forgiveness unifies— pulls back together.

G1322 – Instruction/doctrine

Greek: διδαχή

Transliteration: didachē

Pronunciation: did-akh-ay'

Definition: From G1321; instruction (the act or the matter):  doctrine hath been taught.

KJV Usage: doctrine (29x), has been taught (1x).

I began to look into the old testament, and the new, to see the themes that the chapters (13) and verses (22) were speaking (because there is usually a clear running theme).  The numbers in the Hebrew language, each, are these.

In general— the number 13 has represented (in biblical chapters and themes of) rebellion.  And the number 2 represents to be set apart from, and unto.

The number 13 in Hebrew is shlosh-esre (\(\)) is also known as the thirteenth letter of the alphabet, which is mem (\(\)), or through numerical values like the Hebrew words for "love" (\(\) - ahavah) and "one" (\(\) - echad), both of which equal 13.

The Hebrew word for the number 22 is esrim v'shtayim (עשרים ושתיים) —referring to the 22nd letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which is Tav (ת), which represents completion and truth.  

Written out:  22nd letter: Tav (ת), and its meaning is often linked to concepts like— a mark, sign, completion, or perfection.

As I looked into the chapters and verses I noticed a theme of uncleanness or shame and rebellion coming up in the old testament, as well as instruction coming up in the new testament: which coincided with 13, and then, 22: but both were stemming from looking into 1322 in the Strong’s Concordance.

Leviticus 13:22

“And if it spreads much abroad in the skin— then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it’s a plague.”

That verse speaks to being unclean (which is not washed by and abiding in the truth).

Joshua 13:22

“Balaam (son of Beor) —the soothsayer, the children of Israel slayed with the sword— who was among those slain by them.”

This speaks to unclean and rebellious, and as well being his own god/magistrate/judge and ruler, turning away from God— and working witch-craft (witch— fleshly, craft— spiritual workings with demons intellect and prowess); which is what we do when we are working our own godhood— as little magistrates who set themselves above the knowledge of God, instead of humbling ourselves to exalt ‘other’ above the self. 

Job 13:22-23

“Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.  How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.”

That’s the point isn’t it— call unto the Lord for him to answer us about our transgressions of his way; but also— unto our repentant turnaround to face him again, and come forth in reformation (a change and union with God again): knowledge of sin is just to show how we are estranged or apart from God (not aligned walking with him in union).  And Christ Jesus came that we should not walk as such any longer (apart from God), but to come back through repentance— turnaround and embrace him, his truth, and his way once again— and be saved, reformed, and freed: and his way is— through the Blood of the Lamb, and his forgiveness of the sin (meaning— it’s in the past, as we uncouple with iniquity— which is a lawlessness against God and his protocol, way, person, and nature attributes, under his headship).

Unforgiveness lived in (in any format) is self imposed godship and union with darkness (rebellion): for God does not live in unforgiveness toward all of creation; in fact— he gave his life for reconciliation: and unforgiveness is a lack of reconciliation to God.  So when we walk and abide in unforgiveness (toward self or others) we are walking apart from God, not in Christ Jesus, but in league with the fallen nature (we are carnal in these moments), and we are upholding a law above God— that is opposite of God, humility, love, and reconciliation: we are in idolatry, and given to another kingdom and way.

Our Lord Jesus asks for us to follow him, that is his way he leads, his conduct, and his kingdom— living in the light.  It is a call to unify with him in a solidarity of righteousness and to be holy (set apart) from the ways of satan (perversion, and self imposed godship/lordship).  He’s asking for repentance —a complete turn from wickedness and self exaltation unto him, and unto his righteousness, way, and truth: unforgiveness is rooted in self exaltation (self importance), and not in humility, or love, or salvation of another; nor is it rooted in dismissing charges against someone, dropping the case, and leaving all matters to the Lord God who is the ONLY true judge/magistrate: unforgiveness makes us the judge, the power, the determining highest reasoning, and decision maker of —WHAT IS GOOD OR EVIL: it’s being found living in the tree of knowledge of good and evil— not the tree of life (God himself, and his truth, and his WAY).

When we will not forgive— we will not relinquish the godship, or the lordship, or the making our own decisions based in our own reasoning— which is everyone doing what is right in his own eyes— and the exaltation of the self.

When God lives in forgiveness— and we will not— we are not living in Christ, but apart from him, and upholding shame and condemnation— which is not in Christ (Romans 8).  For in Christ there is no condemnation— TO THOSE WHO NO LONGER LIVE ACCORDING TO THE FLESH— but the Spirit of truth.

We have a problem with the Way, the Truth, and the Life of God and godliness— when we will not forgive: we are self exalting— and it is rooted in pride: unforgiveness is rooted in pride, which is self importance and exaltation of in the high places within— that is to be dedicated to God and godliness— if we claim his name: Christ-ian.

Let’s look into the new testament concerning the numbers 1322:

Matthew 13:22

“He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.”

Unfruitful in the ways of God and godliness comes from deceitfulness (darkness, obscuring the light— the Way, the Truth, and the Life), because the cares of the this world (the happenings here, and the way the spirit of this world thinks, operates/conducts itself) comes in unto us, we yield to it all, exalt it all, and we straightway forget the Word of God that was seeded in us (Christ and his kingdom and way of truth and righteousness) —and in this— the thorns take over (lies), and choke out the Word (the way and the truth); and as this takes over— God is demoted (and his way) from the high places within us: and in this we do not cast down the wicked imaginings or the the things that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God.

2 Corinthians 10:5-6

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God— and brings into captivity— every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”

Having a readiness to revenge all disobedience to Christ and his Way, Truth, and Life— is to deal with rebellion to God and godliness (righteousness, truth, and the holiness of walking and abiding therein): and unforgiveness is one of those rebellions to him and his way— along with anything else Christ does not abide in: the truth abides in forgiveness of sins, and he shed the forgiveness of sins abroad to all who are clothed and washed in his Blood (or life).

Luke 13:22 (more on instruction or doctrine)

“And he went through the cities and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.”

The point again— good sound doctrine— the doctrine of Christ Jesus the Word of God.  And are we coupling with the Truth, the Way, and the Life of Jesus Christ within our vessels— in the good doctrine or instruction of heaven above— where his ways are higher than ours, and his thoughts higher than ours? 

[Isaiah 55:8-9]

2 Timothy 4:3-4

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables [G3454: fiction].”

Ultimate point here— pride (self imposed governance) shall be all the rage in the last days.  It will cause people to run to teachings that tickle their fancy (self indulge as self important, and the main character in their love story— not God); whereby it will be their lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life that lead them AWAY from the truth (sound teaching of God and godliness); and in this— they run to fables or fiction— which is untrue imaginings: we must be the children of God who are led of his Spirit, way, and nature: not our own godship.

Let’s look at another 1322 chapter and verse in the new testament pertaining to sound doctrine— that of Christ Jesus.

Acts 13:22

“And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.”

The tabernacle of David will be restored in the last days— and a resurrection of the ruins will take place: this is where we exalt and unify with the heart of God, and then in this— we will fulfill the will of God (and again— those are the children offspring of God— who know and DO his will, the will of his heart).  

Unforgiveness (toward anyone) is not what God provides— he provided forgiveness of sins (along with repentance— coming out of the iniquity/lawlessness toward him and his headship, truth, and way. Not all will take him up in repentance, and take him up of his forgiveness of missing the mark of righteousness and holiness (the way and truth); but he offers it genuinely to all: do we?  And if we do not— do we understand we are moving in something Christ does not?

Christ extends forgiveness abroad to all— this is free to all.  Man joins him in union again through repentance— which is what forgiveness is— when lived in returning to righteousness and the way of God.  When someone desires union again, and will repent— turnaround from what was, and go the other way toward and with us; then does the release of the old come forward, and we embrace again (in the spirit first, then the soul): it can be extended toward ‘other,’ and lived within (even if the other person is not around or willing); WE CAN LIVE IN FORGIVENESS (release of all charges).  And if we are not doing this unto our own selves— we are living in— condemnation, self imposed prison penance (punishment), unbelief in God’s forgiveness— and refusal to abide in it; as well as rebellion to peace and unity— all because we desire to remain in opposition to forgiveness— instead of allowing the Blood (life) of the Lamb in his mercy and truth— TO WASH US CLEAN AND DELIVER US FROM HIS THRONE!! (Because we are asserting our own throne and kingdom— this is what it means to build our own kingdom within the earth— and not his).

Psalm 89:14

“Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.”

Good judgment (godly), and good justice of good judgment (determination, instruction, and decree— godly) is the place where God abides (in his love, truth, way, and life of righteousness): it is his throne (place of rule, and way of rule).  And mercy (unmerited— cannot earn it, not in penance or any other thing or effort— agape love) and truth (the real reality of God and godliness) go before his face (at the throne of good justice and judgment) at all times.  Does it go before our faces (our countenance) at all times (mercy and truth)??

Luke 4:32

“And they were astonished at his doctrine [G1322: instruction] for his Word was with power.”

I pray you allow his Word in, and you come ‘into’ his Word (Jesus Christ, YahShua Ha Mashiach— the messiah), and his truth set you free today: self condemnation— is apart from God; or condemnation of another (that is sentencing and keeping in prison another, via your self-righteous judgement).  Self imposed penance— is never achievable— and is not of God (also causing or desiring others to be condemned or punished is not ours— revenge or avenging wrongs is the Lord’s— which is why we release others to him, for him to judge rightly over all); or hence— we would never have needed the Lamb in the first place.  And unwillingness to forgive someone who repentant (even self) is an unwillingness to live with Christ Jesus and his way; and in this— we are yet estranged.

I pray you receive this into your awareness today— and understand that in kindness we mean when we say— ‘Please, forgive yourself, or let yourself off the hook— you have repented and sought forgiveness from God.’  

But in truth— we all ought to repent of saying this— for it is not in the ability of man to forgive or live IN forgiveness— apart from Christ Jesus and unity with him, and is indeed— self exaltation— which should never be catered to.

I repent of saying this: for if the heart of each man were really turned around, and the crooked path made straight within again (straight unto Christ Jesus and the way and truth) —then would a man be changed, and unified with Christ in HIS FORGIVENESS GIVEN UNTO US TO LIVE WITHIN— and we would not be self imposing judgment and condemnation over self for falling short: instead— we would be in a love embrace of our Father, King, Maker/Creator, Husband, Friend and Savior (the one who forgives and washes us clean, delivering us into the truth).

Forgiveness (godly mercy) is only his to wield, and when we bow to him within— we shall walk in his mercy and grace.  And when we are unified with his Spirit (two twain, now as one in union) and yield to our Father to work his works through us… and we give his forgiveness to others… it stemmed from upholding him and his way within us: and we are now living and abiding in Christ Jesus— the way, truth, and life of God and godliness.

I pray his sound doctrine and power come over us all today— and we uncouple with darkness in this way… and yield to the love and mercies of God: for indeed— he gives it to us every morning for just this cause: to unite us through liberation of darkness— into his glorious light through unifying with his Person, Way, and the Truth.

The truth is— he preferred us over himself when he gave himself as the Lamb— whose blood (life) now washes us clean, and sets us free in the truth of his conduct (way) of love and righteousness.

Romans 12:10, Philippians 2:3-4

“Be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor— preferring one another.  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each —esteem other —better than themselves.  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”

We, too, ought to walk in preference of the ‘other,’ namely, and foremost— Christ Jesus— and what he says is the truth, what he walks in of mercy, and of whom judges rightly and abides in good justice.

Is it just— to abide in condemnation— when Christ and his mercy has been given abroad into your hearts to couple with?

When we shall esteem Christ and his way above ourselves— we will no longer live in condemnation (idolatry of self imposed regulation and rule: PRIDE, that couples with darkness); we will then live in the liberation of his mercies: and in that— be freed by the Truth, the Way, and the LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR!  Hallelujah!!!  The risen King!! Let us bring him into remembrance AND exaltation within our vessels.

Freedom in the mercies of God (through repentant turnaround and exaltation of God and godliness once again).

It is not a 13-22 verse— but it is a 3-22 verse— and 3 is for wholeness once again, and 22— again— is for verily set apart.

Lamentations 3:22-23

“It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed (not in unforgiveness), because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

His mercy is new for us to come out of this idolatry, unbelief, rebellion to his way and person and his mercies— RIGHT NOW— in Jesus’ name!  I pray we all do— and come out from the self imposed prison cells of estrangement, and out from under satan’s thumb and counsels, and ways of his kingdom.  For repentance is ours, and humility as well— and if we shall come through humility, surrender to his love and mercies, and turn back to face him in the truth of his person; we shall be set free from condemnation today— and the idolatry of keeping ourselves in it: for he does not— and indeed came to set the captives free, not impose them to punishment!!!

Luke 4:18-19 (which quotes Isaiah 61:1)

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor (this is what we are doing right now— through correction and his way); he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted (those satan is oppressing), to preach deliverance to the captives (this is a deliverance from condemnation and idolatry teaching), and recovering of sight to the blind (where we were once hidden or estranged from the light— we are now joined and enlightened to the truth and way and life of the Word of God), to set at liberty them that are bruised (this is to heal your wound, bind up your wounds— to be whole and restored to the way, truth, and life again— in union with), and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

I recorded an encounter I had with the Lord yesterday (whilst in intercessions over the body of Christ, and communion over even my own life in this earth), that I have never encountered before.  It encouraged me so very much in how he sees EVERYTHING from where he is seated: and he indeed is seated HIGH ABOVE everyone and everything else— in full reign: and he is self-existent and eternal (uncreated).  And in him is no darkness (evil), only goodness and the power of: as he calls us to abide with him in the place of the center of him— where nothing created exists— only him and him alone: and if we will remember this place— we shall abide in peace: for he is so large, and so Almighty, and stands alone above all— BUT HAS ASKED US TO JOIN HIM THERE.  For we are his children— who are born of the light; and our afflictions in this life are but temporary, fleeting; and what awaits us— is only perfection forevermore.

It is hard in our lives of what we go through down here to remember (at times) his grandness; but indeed he is HIGH ABOVE all else: and this— reminded me, and encouraged me— IN— the hardest of times that I am enduring through.  And I would, peradventure say, that you as well might enjoy a dose of remembrance into his grandness— for it makes small everything else (including the temporary battles), and enlarges our God, Maker, Creator, Father and King of us— OVER US— in it all.

The recording of 1322.

Rare— means it’s possible, but not many go this way, or come into this— but it is possible: and we can all ascend (its’ a journey) in Christ, and upon the Son of man: but oil is required and along with it— a trimmed wick (to be wise partner virgin set apart): and wick trimming is discipline in and with the Word of God, the truth, and the way of God.  

I pray we shall all join God in the uncreated space of absolute truth within Jesus Christ— and recall the Lord’s grandness— above all else, of all of creation itself: and in this— come into complete peace no matter the storms that come to beset us in sin (or separation): may we be joined even more intimately today— than yesterday— and live in the redemption of time.

Will you embrace forgiveness and reconciliation today, in Christ Jesus: for he has been given us of the Father— for just this workmanship (to set captives free, and remove idolatry and self sufficiency of independence and self rule), as well as the companionship of grace, mercy, agape love, union with him and his way of life (coming out of estrangement, and to be rescued, made whole, returned, cleansed, and freed: UNIFIED!)  ❤️‍🩹
