Numbers 31:30 (& Numbers 31:47)
“....the Levites— who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”
_____________________
The Levites in the Old Covenant (relationship) with God— were those chosen directly by God— to serve both he and his people; they are those who lay their lives down to ‘not ‘ be same as the rest of the God’s people— but set apart in service to the lord, continually; it is the same for the priests of the the Order of Melchizedek today, and always: they are a people that the Lord has chosen to be set apart from the rest, called unto service to himself, and who will return to him fully in— sanctity and righteousness (holiness), and will live consecrated lives unto him (lives with one purpose— service to the King and High Priest).
These ones— ‘keep charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.’
This means— they know they have been bought with a price, and are the Lord’s; they know that they have a job to do in keeping themselves set apart and unto the Lord God holy, IN THEIR TEMPLE/tabernacle— where they sup with the Holy One: the Tabernacle of David is fully erected within.
They not only carry all carnality to him, and pierce their flesh of it (bear a cross) and die to selfishness and idolatry, themselves— but they carry their brethren in service to the Lord— in teaching and exemplifying in all ways— how to ‘clean up’ and consecrate their lives to him, in holiness and truth— as well.
The Priests of the Lord— are SERVANTS; and this means— they are serving HIM and HIS INTERESTS, HIS SPIRIT, HIS FRUIT, HIS WILL —in their person, and in the earth; NOT— the will of man— but the will of God.

2 Kings 2:9
“And it came to pass when they were gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha— Ask what I shall do for you, before I be taken away from you. And Elisha said— I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”

H6310 – Portion
Hebrew: פּה
Transliteration: peh
Pronunciation: peh
Definition: From H6284; the mouth (as the means of blowing) whether literally or figuratively (particularly speech); specifically edge, portion or side; adverbially (with preposition) according to: -appointment, command, eat + in mind or mouth, say, sentence, sound, speech, spoken, talk, two-edged word.
_____________________
Here we can see that as we speak of a ‘portion’ in these circumstances (of Elijah’s spirit), we see that it speaks of ‘a blowing,’ which is the definition of spirit itself in Strong’s, and hebrew— but as well as spirit, it speaks of SPEECH itself.
Specifically it mentions the edge, portion, or side given according to —appointment (appointed), commanded, the eating (or food) of the mind and mouth— what is said in sentences, sounding out, spoken— as a two edged WORD: well that sounds like the Lord’s Spirit— the Word of truth, the sword of the Lord, his ‘blowing’ or Spirit that comes according to being appointed through command to speak, sound off (through the mind and speech) of the LORD God holy.
This is an INCREDIBLE find, when digging in the word of God, for the hidden manna or treasure.
When we desire a portion of ‘spirit,’ or THE SPIRIT— we find we are asking to have the mind of the Lord God, the Word(s) of the Lord God, and to carryout a DUTY into the earth realm— given through appointment (being appointed to this) we will become oracles moving in the command, speech and sounding off of, for, with and BY —the Lord God himself: we understand that is the ‘spirit of Elijah,’ yes?
For only the Spirit of the Lord God himself— would draw children to the Father once again; for it is the Spirit who draws men to Messiah.

John 6:43-45
“Jesus therefore answered and said unto them— Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me— except (when) the Father, who has sent me— draws him: and ‘I will raise him up’ at the last day.
It is written in the prophets— And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore who has heard and has learned of the Father— comes to me.”
_____________________
Do we understand WHO Christ was sent unto, and who was SENT TO CHRIST— of the Father? Those who have both ‘heard’ the Father, AND— been taught of him; that’s who Father sent to Christ, and sent Christ to.
Those who are taught of the Father (his Spirit) —are the chosen ones, called and gathered by Christ and the holy Spirit for salvation: they are readied of the Lord, and directed of the Lord— unto Christ and the holy Spirit— ‘by’ the holy Spirit of God.
I also would like to point out a spiritual concept hidden in these scriptures, and it’s the part where I singled out ‘will raise him up;’ we need to recall to the Lord as day, is like 1,000 years— the last day, or 1,000 years— will be the Millennial Reign of Christ on earth. Given that understanding… we see that the Lord God himself will raise up children (Strong’ definition is ‘stand them up’ —for raise), he will STAND THEM UP IN CHRIST, or Christ in them— in the Millennial Reign of Christ (the last day, 1,000 years).
These are the priests of the Lord, and those who will be governed, and raised up with them, and by them in the Millennial Reign of Christ— as HIS SPIRIT operates in tandem with the 144,000 priests of the Lord, as he himself possesses their vessel— and the two, have become one cohesive unite or entity: the dream of the Lord, fulfilled in his people, WITH his people.
For their portion— is the LORD, himself.

2 Kings 9:10
“And the dogs shall eat Jezebel— in the portion of Jezreel— and there shall be none to bury her….”
______________________
I’d like to point out here the root word, in this case, used for ‘portion’ —is H2506, which is— smoothness of the tongue, as an allotment (or inheritance).
And let’s see a few interesting definitions for smooth, that we may not have assumed at first glance of the word.
Smooth— deal successfully with a problem, difficulty, or perceived fault, free from a difficulty or problem.
God was definitely wanting to ‘smooth’ something out— when he gave his allotment decree to Jezebel— for dogs to dethrone her (behead— that’s the ruling area of a man); he certainly ‘smoothed’ things out a bit.
As well, interestingly in Strong’s the definition of Jezebel is ‘chaste,’ and she wasn’t— she was perverted and twisted from what she was supposed to be…
_______
Revelation 2:20
“Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you suffer (tolerate and permit) that woman Jezebel— who calls herself a prophetess— to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.”
_______
Not only is her name supposed to mean ‘chaste,’ and she was not, but the entire opposite of chaste— she was perverted (satanic)... but Jezreel means— GOD WILL SOW.
Quite interesting, isn’t it? That when something gets perverted from ‘chaste,’ God will sow unto that situation, person or place— a Judgement of correct ‘portion,’ or allotment.
Carnality and satanic practices of— never pay off well for men.
2 Kings 9:36-37
“....This is the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah— the Tishbite, saying— In the portion of Jezreel (God will sow) —dogs shall eat the flesh (carnal portion) of Jezebel: and the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field— in the portion of Jezreel (God will sow)...”
______________________
And what about these verses…
2 Chronicles 28:1-2
“Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord, like David his father: For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.”
19 “For the Lord brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked— who transgressed sore against the Lord.”
&
2 Chronicles 28:21
“Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD….and gave it unto the king of Assyria.”
______________________
Well, it’s never a good thing to rebel God holy— NOT walk in his ways, not follow after David (who was a shadow, type and precursor to the Lord God himself as the Son), but follow after all the forefathers of rebellion and idolatry (the kings of Israel) and after BAALIM (a twisted/perverted one himself).
And because of this transgression against God and holiness— Judah became ‘naked,’ not having the Lord’s covering of protection or holiness any longer, by free will choice— led of the perverted king; and what happened to Ahaz?
He died at the age of 36 and was succeeded by his son— Hezekiah (who walked in the ways of the Lord); because of his wickedness —he was— "not brought into the sepulcher of the kings." (2 Chronicles 28:27).
A loss of inheritance, life, and honor: because he went after ‘death’ (or estrangement from God and holiness), he went after dishonor to God and lost his inheritance: he was not honored in death (estranged from God = separation from God— was his inheritance).
There are lessons to learn and heed here.
But, let’s at least see what happens when one turns around, gets straightened out unto the Lord, and with the Lord: honor and service to the Lord God.
______________________
2 Chronicles 31:1-2
“Now when all this was finished, all Israel— that were present— went out to the cities of Judah…. and broke the images in pieces…. and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars— all out of Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also, and Manasseh— until they had utterly destroyed them all.
Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, after their courses— every man according to his service— the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings —to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise— in the gates of the tents of the Lord.”
________________________
Now, why is it important to bring these verses up, and the life of Hezekiah?
Because after Ahaz, the entirety of the people of the Lord had to CLEAN HOUSE, throwing everything down that Ahaz had erected (symbolic of the cleansing and reformation of the inner man of sin— being saved, and made a New Creation in Christ), and destroy it all: bringing in a clean slate, and a new beginning in the ‘land’ —DESTROYING ALL THE HIGH PLACES, that were erected against the Lord God holy: rebellion cleaned up, and reverence and holiness restored within.
And then we see what the spiritual significance is of studying the priests of the old covenant, and their practices.
First of all— they were ‘appointed’ of the Lord, called and commissioned for service (we should really think about ‘servants’ of the Lord— enter into your rest, thou good and faithful servant); and they brought ‘burnt offering,’ a laid down life, lived in the Refiner’s fire— undergoing the reshaping— as well as, a ‘peace offering,’ where the godly order is restored over chaos within, and rules and reigns a vessel now: first they are called to this individually, within— and then to bring these to the called out ones.
Laid down lives, dying ‘the death’ of carnality (the cross we are to carry, and the flesh we are called to die to) —and living on the altar (sacrificial life given in servitude unto the Lord God) of the Lord God holy; for he IS THE FIRE, and if we are to ‘be in Christ,’ and he in us— we will BURN, for we are ‘in the fire,’ HIM, and ‘the fire’ —is IN US— him: and we are like/same/as now, and are ONE ENTITY.
We will either burn as he burns— or we will burn in separation from him, in his fire— because we would not reform: but one way or another, we all return full circle to ‘the fire,’ which is he; but the choice of whether we ‘become’ the fire, or the fire of the Lord burns us painfully for all of eternity, because we fought against the ‘holy fire,’ himself…. Is entirely our choice.
But we will BURN, one way or the other; in torment, working against him in this life and the afterlife, because we lived selfishly, lovers of self and pleasure over the Lord God; or we will BURN WITH HIM, as/like/same as him— because we WILLINGLY returned to ‘the fire,’ HIM— to be cleaned up, burning away the dross of pride and self in idolatry to him— and were returned to his image: a BURNING FIRE and BRIGHT CLEAN LIGHT.
__________
2 Thessalonians 2:8
“And then shall that Wicked be revealed— whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth— and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:”
__________
The priests of God (and those are his children) live laid down lives, on the altar of the Lord, being refined by his fires (burnt offerings, their own lives), and they walk in godly order restored over chaos within (God setting things right inside, because he has been erected inside, for real— to rule and reign, and rein in this person— unto himself); THEY MINISTER to the Lord, and they are peace offerings unto the Lord, and they GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, and PRAISE THE LORD— in the gates of (or door, the Lord is the Door) the tents (or tabernacle, or temple) of the Lord: these are the priests of his Order.
Are we minding the spiritual, or the temporal?
Spiritual— relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things— and related to our beliefs; root definition— Middle English: from Old French spirituel, from Latin spiritualis, from spiritus (see spirit).
Spirit— the nonphysical part of a person which is the seat of emotions and character— the soul, the nonphysical part of a person regarded as their true self —and as capable of surviving physical death, a supernatural being, those qualities regarded as forming the definitive or typical elements in the character of a person, nation, or group —in the thoughts and attitudes: the attitude or intentions with which someone undertakes or regards something, the real meaning or the intention behind something —as opposed to its strict verbal interpretation, a highly refined substance— thought to govern vital phenomena, convey— rapidly and secretly; root definition— Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French, from Latin spiritus ‘breath, spirit’, from spirare ‘breathe’.
Temporal— relating to worldly as opposed to spiritual affairs, and relating to time: secular; root definition— Middle English: from Old French temporel or Latin temporalis, from tempus, tempor- ‘time,’ and late Middle English: from late Latin temporalis, from tempora ‘the temples’ (see temple2).
Temple— a building for religious worship, a devoted place; root definition— Old English templ, tempel, reinforced in Middle English by Old French temple, both from Latin templum ‘open or consecrated space’.
And for note— let us not forget, the temples are on either side of what we ‘mind’ —and in between what we listen to (the ears) and heed.
Are we minding the temporal— or that which is in time and space— and not the spiritual? Are we minding the carnal and not the spiritual at all?
What happens when we do not, and we choose carnality?
Well, look what happened to Jezebel who was supposed to be ‘chaste,’ but was not; the sowing of the Lord came into play— and she received her portion or lot, with the dogs, and beheading (dethroning) —and death (estrangement of the Lord) —suffering calamity and violent pain.
In Joshua, we see some interesting differences of the root used for ‘portion,’ and how it relates to the material, or temporal world.
______________________
Joshua 17:14
“And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying— Why have you given me one lot, and one portion to inherit— seeing I am a great people— for as much as the LORD has blessed me hitherto?”
______________________
What I find quite interesting here, in Joshua— is that when we see ‘material’ land being spoken of (and this symbolic as carnality) —the root of the word portion is strikingly different that when speaking of the Levites, and the root word used for their portion (the Lord).
H2256 – Portion
Hebrew: חבל חבל
Transliteration: chebel chêbel
Pronunciation: {kheh'-bel} khay'-bel
Definition: From H2254; a rope (as twisted) especially a measuring line; by implication a district or inheritance (as measured); or a noose (as of cords); figuratively a company (as if tied together); also a throe (suffer calamity— intense or violent pain and struggle, especially of birth labor); also ruin: - band, coast, company, cord, country, destruction line, lot, pain, portion, region, rope, snare, sorrow, tackling.
Here we can see that the root of the word ‘portion,’ used here pertain to a material world land dispute (being disgruntled with the amount given) —resembles the figurative (or spiritual) implications of carnality; as one is now bound and with twisting (which is perversion) —by rope, because there was a ‘measuring’ of carnal things as importance (a measuring line), regarding inheritance —that came in like a noose of cords that bind.
A tying together in bonds, related to calamity, suffering and intense, violent pain and struggle— like labor pains of birthing —and related to ruin.
I find that quite interesting as we delve into the word ‘portion’ used in scripture.
Portions tied to carnality (or the material or temporal) bring a perversion, a twisting of ties that bind one up, because we measured things carnal for our inheritance or portion in this lifetime (as priority) —and it brings it to us (free will, sow and reap) like a noose around our eternal souls —bringing in ruin; but not only ruin— calamity, suffering, and intense, violent, pain and struggle— like labor pains of birthing.
Does this remind anyone not only of the spiritual/symbolic and figurative understanding of what type of ruin comes to us in our inner man, our souls, and for eternity if we follow the ways of ‘carnality’ …
But also of what is taking place in ‘land’ disputes, and war over land— going on in the world today?
The Hebrew word and definition for VIOLENCE is— ‘hamas.’
There is nothing but VIOLENCE that will come about (calamity and suffering— and intense and violent pain and struggle) —when carnality, the temporal, and material is fought for in power struggles; whether this be within a man, beginning in the spiritual realm within, first— or then trickles into the material realm (this world) in real world actions, BECAUSE of the the spiritual perversion that took place within— that led one to earthly actions.
Carnality— never pays off, not for man, nor God— not for the eternal, either.

Nehemiah 2:20
“....The God of heaven will prosper us; therefore we— his servants— will arise and build.”
Isaiah 60:1
“Arise, shine; for your light is come— the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For, behold— the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.
And the Gentiles (nations of people) shall come to your light— and kings —to the brightness of your rising [a rising of light— Strong’s says].”
_____________________
‘We his servants’ —will arise and build; build what? The old ruins, the wasted inner man, first in us— then in servitude to the Lord and prospering him in the earth (man and his vessel).
Whose FIRE BURNS inside of us (whose light)? The Lord God’s.
And when gross darkness (perversion) covers men and women abroad (the earth) —whose light will shine through the darkness— the LORD’S LIGHT; and ‘the life,’ in the Lord, and in the earth— is what— the light of men.
_________
John 1:1-5
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word— was God. The same was in the beginning— with God. All things were made by him; and without him, there was not anything made, that was made. In him was life; and the life —was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended [POSSESSES, or APPREHENDS] it not.”
_________
Prepare to enter another controversial zone; these are areas in scripture that are often sheepishly stepped over by world church leaders— because they are ‘too controversial’ for the masses (or rather, the religious) and will cause division; and most leaders in the 5 fold, who are led of a Lukewarm religious spirit— are too cowardly to preach the truth, because it will not only divide, but affect their financial bottom line of income (it has turned to a corporation and business— the world church): so guess what God wants me to touch on— the CONTROVERSIAL topics, because I will be accountable to him and the truth— both now, and always.
And let us not forget…
Matthew 10:34
“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.”
A ‘sword’ is not only a DIVIDING, and sharply at that— tool or implement, but it’s also— BY THE WORD OF GOD (the truth of scripture).
Let us proceed to a place most will not venture— but that the Lord wants detailed out; his priests already know these things, and worship him as such: One.
_________
John 1:1-5 (once again)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word— was God. The same was in the beginning— with God. All things were made by him; and without him, there was not anything made, that was made. In him was life; and the life —was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended [POSSESSES, or APPREHENDS] it not.”
_______
All things were made by Christ (the Word of God— which would make him the ‘Father’ of us), and the Word of God —is ‘Spirit’ (the Holy Spirit), and the Son (who is the full Godhead in body)— IS THE Eternal Father.
_______
Isaiah 9:6
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name (not names— name, singular) shall be called— Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God— The everlasting Father— The Prince of Peace.”
_______
This is why I do not adhere to religious teaching on the Trinity— which is found NOWHERE IN THE WORD: One, they are ONE:
John 14:9 — “Jesus said to him— Have I been so long a time with you, and yet you have not known me (implying he’s the Father, the Creator), Philip? He that has seen me —has seen the Father; so how do you say then— Show us the Father?”
_______
In addition— does it make sense now, that as the Son— who is the Creator (or Father) of us all, is also of the self same Spirit —that comes into us, and is the Truth and Word of God?
Does it make sense now that he wants to unite himself to us in ALL WAYS, like/same/as —by having his Spirit, become our spirit, and he, and we— unite as one entity, in body (flesh), soul (thinking, minding, sentiments, conduct and actions of choices), and spirit (his breath, the breath of life, not death)?
They (all his parts of him) —are COHESIVE, and UNITED— not divided, they are ‘one,’ or WHOLE; and they are WHOLLY ALL IN ALIGNMENT: Father (creator), Son (savior, God in full— in a body, the Word of God with the Spirit of God upon and in him, of him) and the Spirit— HIS TRUE ESSENCE of him.
WE are to be WHOLLY ALIGNED WITHIN OURSELVES— as well: body (flesh), soul (will, mind, sentiments of heart), and spirit (the breath life of the Lord, breathed into us— to animate us).
We are supposed to COME FULLY BACK TOGETHER, cleaned up, and reunited to God in all our parts: one with his Spirit.
______
John 17:19-23
“And for their sakes —I sanctify myself— that they also might be sanctified— through the truth (he is the truth).
Neither pray I for these alone— but for them also which shall believe on me —through their word (all of us, who heard from those who went before us);
That they all may be one (united, individually within to God holy— and then corporately— as a body); as you, Father, are in me— and I in you— that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.
And the glory which you gave me —I have given them; that they may be one— even as we are one: I in them, and you in me— that they may be made perfect— in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me— and have loved them— as you have loved me.”
_______
Many do not want to believe that God sent a part of himself, and his Spirit to guide himself— coming to us as an example— as the Son, to all sons— how to be united with the Father again: he gave himself, he gave the ‘Son,’ —the Word of himself— to come and preach to the world, to mother the nations, to instruct the masses of those he is calling to himself. He sent a part himself (God) to die for his creation (the Father who created us— Christ); HE HIMSELF CAME TO US, and DIED for us, and did all that— by his TRUE ESSENCE— his Spirit.
Just because we measure all things against our own selves (picture all things like a man), and cannot grasp that God is not a man, he is God— and he VASTLY more than a man— we are only made in his image, but we are NOT HIM… doesn’t change the facts or truth that he came, fully in a body (the WHOLE GODHEAD came to earth) in YahShua— and embodied the Father, the Son and the Spirit— all in one: and they are the same being.
We need to understand God is not made in our image or likeness, we are made in his: and he is more than meets the eye here— he is Light, for one— and he is Spirit in his true essence, for the other: and light is not parameterized in this realm (not restricted— is everywhere, and all things are made of it), and his Spirit is not either— he is omnipresent everywhere.
He can be fully in each of us— and yet be fully on the throne in heaven; he can be fully in Christ Jesus (YahShua HaMashiach the Messiah) —and fully on the throne at the same time: don’t forget, heaven is his throne, and earth he props his feet upon.
He is much more, and capable of much more than we understand: and he is one— Father and creator of us, Savior of us, the Word of God and the Spirit of God: he is One.
Why do I say all that?
Because, controversial or not— it’s the truth, and He will have me be bold about it— the ‘church’ itself either knows him in all these ways already, or will fight to kill those who speak such things (even though detailed out in scripture, and from his lips, time and time again) —as the Pharisees of old did; who attend to their religion— instead of the Lord God directly: who worship their doctrine, the doctrine of devils— and led of the precepts or teachings of men.
And why do I say all that?
Because the Lord’s kids know he is ONE (or they will, soon enough): it is why he wanted to ‘create’ a family; he is not 3 dudes living together— he would not have desired a family, otherwise; this is what he told me— and what he shows again and again throughout scripture: he wanted a FAMILY.
His children— will be ‘one’ with him; they will be like/same/as him in their spirit, souls and body (sound whole of them); as the Father (creator), Son (Godhead in full, and bodily displayed), and Spirit— who are one entity, of 3 divisions or parts.
We— will have all our divisions, or parts— WHOLE and reunited under him as well— if we are his: spirit (returned to him, and renewed through regeneration), soul (converted, cleaned/sanctified, and made anew: gaining his attributes, obedience to him— his will regarded, self— DENIED) and body (the sound whole of that man) under the rule, and united to the Holy God again.
For after all— we were the ‘life’ in him, moving about— finding our being, inside of him, at the beginning; we will return to him, be cleaned back up into his image, and become ‘one’ with him again— if we are his children; for we were swimming around in him once— and will come back to the same, if we come back at all: we will assimilate back into God, and God will merge back into us— if we are his.
The ‘Word,’ Created us— and the Word— will return us to himself (the Truth); and the Spirit comes to uphold the Word (the Son, the full Godhead in body— and that would be ours now), and the Son— came to witness the Father.
Do we understand this?
______
John 16:13-15
“...When he— the Spirit of truth is come (come to each of us— after shed on Calvary to us, of the Son, and who is sent— of the Father), he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear (because the Spirit listens to the Voice of the Lord— and reiterates it), that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine (shall ‘get ahold of’ me— it says in Strong’s), and shall show it unto you.
All things that the Father has —are mine: therefore said I— that he shall take of mine— and shall show it unto you.”
_______
The ‘Father,’ or Creator of us— sent the Son, and sent the Spirit to us; the Son— is the full Godhead in a body (Messiah) sent to us, and he was indwelled of the Spirit (the breath and true essence and form of God) —and he IS— the Word of God (the truth).
The Spirit will represent the Son— the Word of God— because he is God’s essence, and will uphold the Word of God— because he speaks what is received of the Lord —to give to us— and the Lord is the Father, the originator of us— and all things were made by the Word (or the creator, the fullness of the Godhead); so all that the Spirit will speak— comes from the Word of God; and the Word of God, is our Father, our Creator of all that is created: and we were the little life forms swimming about in him— the light of men.
SO….
I say all that, because those that will return to him— will have the full Godhead in them; and they— will be in— the full Godhead, returned to him— and returned to the original image that he made them in: his own.
They will go through the reformation process to be returned to the one we came from, who we lived inside of, before we came here; if we will not return to him in this lifetime, and be reformed by his fire, and allow the fire to burn within us— we the light of men, who burn from his fire…
We will be separated from him forever in a fire of his, as well— but it will burn us in torment, because we did not assimilate back into it, whilst here in this lifetime— and that fire of holiness— will torment the darkness we chose to swim in, during this lifetime here— but now for eternity: and it’s all free will choice— to choose, whom we will serve; for we are servants of someone: either God holy— or ourselves, and darkness.
Darkness, when exposed to the holy light fire of God, with NOWHERE TO FLEE— remains in torment for all of eternity.
We will either be conformed and configured back into his holy fire willingly in this lifetime— or we will be returned to him, at the judgment (all return to him, in the end) —to be sentenced into his eternal holding tank of fire— reserved for the devil and him minions— which we would apply— if we run with devils, darkness, and rebellion— refusing to come back to the Light: our Father, Creator, and Maker of us.
Why do we speak of the Priesthood so much?
Because our God is what is called— a Priest, and the highest order of one, at that; and all those who are made in his image (and return to it) —will be priestly, clean, pure, and reformed altogether— united with him, in all his ways and parts: they will become WHOLE again— which is the definition of ‘healed,’ mended and stitched back together.
Estrangement— is when we rent apart— tear apart— from sin, transgressing, or walking contrary to God holy.
The portion— of the servant priests— is the Lord.

“I cried unto you, O Lord: I said— You are my refuge, and my portion —in the land of the living.”
Psalm 16:5
“The Lord —is the portion of my inheritance— and of my cup: you maintain my lot.”
______
These are of David, and we will resurrect the Tabernacle of David— in these days (the last days); so we will have our ‘portion,’ as well— which/who is— the Lord God, his Spirit— himself: and we will return in FULL to him, in all our parts or divisions: body (sound whole of us) that holds our soul (our minding, our sentiments, our conduct) and our spirit— the breath that comes directly from the Lord— as he breathes upon us, and in us.
______
Deuteronomy 18
“The priests— the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi— shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat —the offerings of the Lord, made by fire— and his inheritance [his inherited occupancy— heirloom— (a valuable object— that has belonged to a family for several generations— late Middle English: from heir + loom), estate and portion, possession].
Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the Lord— is their inheritance— as he has said to them.”
______
To the priest of the Lord (now, in the Order of Melchizedek) —these will become whole again, and wholly given to the Lord: his vessel, his soul (and he has one— Leviticus 26:11— “and I will set my Tabernacle among you— and my SOUL shall not abhor you”) and his spirit— to be played out in this realm (as they have merged, for real, into one entity— with one ruler, one will, and one life— Christ).
‘The offerings of the Lord, made by fire…’ These are they who fully submitted, and were refined, and who STAYED IN THE FIRE, and THE FIRE— stays in them: clean priests, sanctified and consecrated ones, who are ONE entity— one cohesive unit with Lord God: they in him (his Spirit, his Fire), and he in them (his Spirit, his Fire).
The LORD— is the valuable object, given to the family of faith, coming down from generation to generation— to those who revere him, and live by faith unto him; to those who will come back to him, in the inner man, and become one with him again— from whence they came: the light of men, the LIFE— in him.
They are the HEIRS, and they are in his LOOM— his tapestry, stitched back to him: these have returned full circle, and their garden (or the ground for God and man to commune) has been purified, fertile, and bore fruit (reproduction) to prove it.
And he told them— he will be their inheritance— the priests; and he tells us the same now.
Do we really just want HIM, and to return to him— or are we running after ‘stuff’ still, and have perverted hearts that run to idols still? Because we can covet what ‘he has’ —and find ourselves in idolatry just the same, as running after worldly endeavors.
Why?
Because if we covet what he has— riches, giftings, mantels, anointing, favor, positions, crowns, government, etc… we are running after ‘what he has,’ and NOT— WHO HE IS!
We then find ourselves, still yet carnal— and the Lord, ALONE— isn’t what we truly desire; it’s what he ‘holds,’ that our hearts are inclined to.
_________
Luke 18:8
“....Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes— shall he find faith on the earth?”
_________
Faith— or, as Strong’s defines it— persuasion and moral conviction of religious truth (and he is the truth), or the truthfulness of the religious teacher— God— especially reliance upon Jesus Christ.
The faith or trusting in, is not in THINGS, or STUFF— but ‘him!’
The faith is in the value of HIS PERSON— not running after all he has to offer; running after to obtain (hold dear, and keep) his person, the Word of God (the truth/scripture learned and lived— he’s a person), that will change a man’s morals by conviction of the truth and the by the person of (God holy— the Word, the Spirit) —born of the religious leader himself: Christ Jesus, our Father, and the Spirit of Truth: in WHOM we rely on.
Not ‘stuff,’ → HIM.
Those going after stuff (even, and especially his) —remain satanic; is that not what satan said, and went after??
I will ascend, I will be like you, I will be as the most High.
If we run after power moves of the Spirit (anointing, miracles, signs, wonder), giftings of the Spirit (attributes of God walked in), mantels desired, positions of honor or favor— coveted to obtain for self in this life— WE REMAIN SATANIC, FALLEN, CARNAL, and worshiping what the Creator can DO FOR US, GIVE US— of his ‘goods,’ —AND NOT THE CREATOR HIMSELF.
There is a great sorting that will take place: Goats, from Sheep.
The carnal will be now cleansed from the church— and by the hand of the Lord himself— for he searches the hearts/souls of men— looking for those who DESIRE TO TRULY UPHOLD HIM, in the earth (their vessels); and those who are led astray of devils— will be removed from places where they lead the flock astray, and devour them— instead of serve them: all whilst claiming to ‘serve’ the Lord God holy— but instead— serve their own interests in the earth.
God’s true children will desire HIM, not what he can bring, or do for them: but he will do, and bring things to his children— BECAUSE— they covet them not, but desire him, and upholding him: HE— is the portion they truly desire MOST.

Psalms 119:57
“CHETH [meaning portion, or share]— You are my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep your words.”
___________________
The Lord’s children— desire HIM as their allotment, not stuff; and they keep (guard and cherish) his word (truth).
They also will pour out their souls— unto death, as the Lord did (Isaiah 53:12).
______
Isaiah 61:6-7 (the whole chapter, really)
“But you shall be named— the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the —Ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves.
For your shame —you shall have double; and for confusion— they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land— they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.”
________
I love Isaiah 61, in general— but what I love about these verses is that, when we see it in spiritual context, we see that those who will return to the Lord God in full, and of whom the Lord God will return in them— IN FULL— these will be called Priests of the Lord, and Ministers of God; and for all the shame (as like our Lord endured) —these will be given a double portion (hmmm… like Elisha of Elijah’s spirit, which was the Lord God’s Spirit upon him); and for the confusion they endured in the earth (waiting upon the Lord himself) —they shall rejoice in their DOUBLE PORTION!
And not only THAT— but ‘in their land,’ that's in their earthly lives; in their earthly lives, they shall inherit a DOUBLE PORTION (the priests) and everlasting Joy shall we with them!
A DOUBLE PORTION OF THE LORD’S SPIRIT— that’s a big ole heaping dose of some HOLY GHOST in the lives of these people: they were a people made for his pleasure, and in his pleasure— the please him.
________
Luke 12:42
“The Lord said— Who then, is that faithful and wise STEWARD [house distributor— manager, overseer, employee, agent, and preacher of the gospel], whom his lord shall make ruler [place and designate] over his household [attendees domestic, healing]— to give them their portion of meat [food] in due season?”
________
Whom will the Lord find faithfully and wisely serving him and his household of family members (the flock) —distributing, managing, overseeing and preaching the gospel to them (as he places and designates them to do so) —FEEDING HIS SHEEP (people) their MEAT OF THE WORD (truth), when they are supposed to (due season)??
These— are the priests of the Lord; these are the faithful and true— because he who is called faithful and true is IN THEM, and RULING THEM, and they are ONE WITH HIM: the priests of the Lord, and Order of Melchizedek.
The ‘Order,’ is not just a membership group, it is a place in the Lord where ‘his order’ is established; his rule, ways/conduct, actions, sentiments, will and person is IN ORDER: the order that is conducted in Melchizedek— the King of Righteousness; these will be little priests and kings, under the High Priest and King— who walk clean in their robes of righteousness that HE IS, and has draped them with.
These— clean their garments daily, and iron them out (their conduct and ways are clean, and ironed out— not disheveled within) —they practice their salvation (exercising it— their relationship with the Righteous One) —and they REFORM, coming into his person, and RESOLUTELY so.
They truly desire his cup (suffering and refinement— death to all that is carnal and self) —and he, himself— for their portion.
The priests of the Lord honor death in their vessel— carrying their cross and piercing their flesh, willingly— as/like the Lord did; and they desire only to uphold he who created them, saved them, held them inside of him in the beginning, and holds them inside of himself now (in the reunion of salvation), and who is shaping them through his FIRE— back into his shape, form and image: they desire to return to the FIRE, and to be ONE— with the FIRE and LIGHT of the Lord God holy: he is the only portion they need and seek after.
And to him, their Father— he sees them the same; the apple of his eye— is them; and the only inheritance he desires— is them!
_______
Deuteronomy 32:9
“For the LORD’S portion— is his people; Jacob— is the lot of his inheritance.”
_______
The SPIRITUAL PEOPLE, who have given themselves to the Lord (the people of faith, not earthly lineage), the people who desire to KNOW THE LORD, and be KNOWN OF THE LORD (relationship and love requited) —these are the people of Jacob (Israel, his symbolic name change); and these— are the Lord’s prize and possession, quite literally.
He won them over, and they return to him— inside and out— his prize (reward and portion); and he possesses them fully again— for they are given over to him fully in the sound whole of them (body) —and that is their FULL SOUL IS UNTO HIM, and their spirit is renewed by his, and returned to functioning with, under and by him.
The priests of the Lord, in the Order of Melchizedek: his ultimate goal, dream, and work he will finish— in those who surrender in this lifetime, fully to him, and fully to holiness and righteousness.
He will finish his good work— by FIRE, one way or another; these— his priests, COME WILLINGLY TO THE FIRE (he), and willingly choose the cup he drank of.
The others, who walk compromised— that he loves and has called to himself— will endure judgment in the earth realm— because he loves them, and desires to save them: he will wake them with his tribulations.
For if he does not— they will not return to him, HERE, NOW— and so, will be estranged from him forever— at the judgment seat of Christ, on that day.
We will return full circle to him, one way or another; we will return to the FIRE, one way or another— it’s always been free for us to choose.
We will all come back to him at the day of judgment, either in a report card proceeding for his people— or a separation decree and judgment for those who would not return to him in the earth— the time allotted, the portion of time giving to all— to decide this day, and every day— whom we will serve.
His priests— LOVE THE FIRE— LOVE FOR HIM TO BURN WITHIN THEM; they love his presence, his anointing, his person, his holiness, his righteousness, his Word —and desire nothing more than what he desires.
God’s people LIVE FOR THE FIRE OF THE LORD TO BURN WITHIN THEM, and to burn up all that is not of him; has the church gotten this revelation yet— or is it still preaching we can walk in exorbitant grace, and continue walking in sin (Lukewarm)?
Because the Lukewarm get vomited out in the end; because they truly wanted to claim God, salvation, holiness and righteousness with their lips— but their hearts were far from living it: possessing righteousness and holiness— and he whom it stems from.
He did say— “Work out your salvation with FEAR and TREMBLING—” for a reason: it ought to carry a gravitas— heavy weight of the message to revere him— for real.
Which portion will we be allotted— the portion with the unbelievers (un be-live’n it, for real), or— the faithful and wise?
Because….
______
Luke 12:46
“The Lord of that servant will come, in a day when he looks not (for him to come)— and at an hour when he is not aware (he will come) —and will cut him asunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.”
_______
God’s children will always be ready for his return— because they are daily mindful of him, keeping his word dear in the hearts as they WALK IT OUT; when they walk it out— they become living epistles → living, walking, breathing Words of God; because he is that— and he is in possession of them, and has united himself to them: they are one entity in Christ now.
God’s child will be ‘in process’ of refinement the ENTIRE TIME THEY ARE ON THIS PLANE OF EXISTENCE (the earth realm); they will NEVER stop reforming in this fallen realm, they will NEVER stop being turned into his image, more and more— day by day— by the hand of the Lord.
They will NEVER stop BOWING TO HIS PERSON, in their souls, spirits and the sound whole of them.
They will NEVER stop serving the Lord or his people —his interests in the earth— no matter what comes to them, at them, or what they must endure.
These— do not seek any ‘thing,’ not mantles, not anointing, not giftings, not provisions, not favor, not blessing, not angel encounters —not even to be in a position with the Lord, or the Order itself— THESE— are after one thing, and one thing only: GOD → and to serve him, and return to him.
What portion we receive— is always reciprocal to WHOM WE RECEIVE, within— as ‘Most Highly regarded.’
________
Joshua 24:14-15
“Now therefore —fear the Lord— and serve him in sincerity, and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.
And if it seem evil to you— to serve the Lord— choose you this day whom you will serve; whether (it be) the gods that your fathers served —that were on the other side of the flood— or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but —as for me and my house— we will serve the Lord.”
