Go Forth My People; Be Led by My Spirit
Debbie Fenske - 3/10/22 (David’s notes in red)
Prophecy: This Word from our Father’s heart is quite a plea for us to be Jesus; do what Jesus would do if He were here in the flesh. And, He says, “I am here in the flesh. Here I Am, in you.” (He is Immanuel - God with us)
“My people! Oh, My people! Have you not heard what you have been speaking this night? Have you not heard the message that has been going forth from your mouths as you have shared with one another? Have you not felt your heart swell, and your faith rise?
For, My people, tonight you have been speaking the message that I have spoken to you before this. This message is more than, get ready. This message is be ready! Rise up! Take your stand, and move out, move forward a mighty army that you are, even though you are few. For it is the few that I choose to use.
I have heard you ask, “Lord give us the faith to go forth and be Your hands, Your feet, and Your mouth, to speak The word, “Be healed!” “Be delivered!” My people! Oh, My people! I have given you My Word! My Word in you is the faith already given to you. And My Word in you is power. And I have told you many times to go forth. So, go forth, My people! Will you not just trust the power of My Spirit through My Word in you to move out through you to set the captives free? So many are waiting. Repent of lethargy. (We are called ambassadors for Christ, which means we are to represent Him to the world and not ourselves. 2Co 5:20 We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.)
Repent of inhibitions that keep you from being used in this hour. This IS the hour. Now is the time. Stop looking and waiting for a certain point of time in the future. Look at “now.” Now is the time. The time has always been now. And I say to you, again, no more holding back. For, it will not be you. It will not be about you. But it is all about Me through you, in power, My people. (2Co 13:5 Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate.)
I have also told you in the past, “Be led by My Spirit.” So, be led, My people. Yes, here I am in you, beside you, before you, and behind you; always ready to lead you. So, see the work that is before you, My people, and do it! As you move in Me, and as you allow me yo move in you, you will see the needs that I have planted. And, many of these will be added to My planting of faithful overcomers. They have always been right before you, every where you have turned. Be bold and be strong my people. The harvest is ready. And I have made you ready.”
Open Your Mouth and I Will Fill it
Debbie Fenske - 2/7/22 (David’s notes in red)
The Lord spoke this word after a night of worship and praise unto Him.
“Too much silence! My children. How I love your songs of worship unto Me. How I long for you to uplift Me in this way. And I am honored, uplifted by your worship and your praise. But, oh My people, I need you to not be so silent. I need you to open your mouth and give unto me your worship from your heart, even as you go about your daily activities.
Give unto Me the fruit of your lips from your heart, and the glory that is due My name through prayer and through praise. Talk to me. I long to hear from you in this way, My children. And I long to give back unto you what will uplift you. Only open your mouth wide, my children. Lift Me up, and I shall fill you up. And you shall go forth and glorify Me.”
Deu. 30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
Isa. 59:16-21 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it upheld him. 17 And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle. 18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense. 19 So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of Jehovah driveth.
20 And a Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah. 21 And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: my Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever.
For the morning meeting on 3/17/22 we received by faith at random, Jer. 12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of the Jordan?
Dream of Resurrection
Claire Pienaar - 3/14/22 (David’s notes in red)
I dreamed I was in a waiting area, like a lobby of a hotel. (A hotel represents individual temples joined together into one holy temple in the Lord. The hotel lobby is a communal area.) I had my room keys with me and I think the number 144 was on the key. (This represents the key of David to bind and loose which the David Man-child 144,000 gives to Claire as the Bride, just as Jesus did. Rev 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and none shall shut, and that shutteth and none openeth. Mat. 16:19 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
And here is the 144,000 David Man-child body. Rev 14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads... 4 These are they that were not defiled with women (denominations); for they are virgins (Meaning they have not received the seed of men). These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish.)
There were others in this lobby but they were staying in other motels around the area, not in the same hotel I was staying at. (The Bride is a sanctified body through the teaching of the 144 Man-child as it was with Jesus and His first disciples.)
I saw an Indian family with 4 children, all similar in ages to my own (under 12). They were very friendly but they were of a middle eastern religion. I was very aware that they were not a part of “the flock” yet.
I asked them the names of their children and they rattled them off. Then the Holy Spirit took me over in this dream. I knew it and I felt it. I said, “What’s the name of the fifth child?” And the wife and mother of the family looked down with pain in her face and her tears dropped onto the floor and the husband looked down too. I don’t remember the fifth child's name for sure but I think it was Priya. (In Hindi this name means “dear” or “beloved”). She had died somehow a long time ago. I said very calmly and confidently, “In the Name of Jesus, she lives”.
Then I had a vision of this little girl’s skeleton being lifted out of the ground; wrapped in white linen. Before my eyes the sinews and muscles and flesh came back onto this young child.
The skeleton changed from being grotesque at first, to being feeble, then it changed again to being peaceful, and then radiant with the life of a 5 yr old little Indian girl! (Riaan: Reminds me of that song: “These are the days of Ezekiel, where dry bones becoming as flesh!”) (Although mighty miracles of physical resurrection will take place, Ezekiel saw a spiritual resurrection through revival in which eternal life is entered into. Eze. 37:1-6 The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Jehovah, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 And he caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, thou knowest. 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. 5 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
The parents were jumping up and down! They were saying, “This is the true God!” “This is real?” “Is this real?” “How can that happen?” “Can we touch her?” Then there was much hugging and celebration and they introduced their other children to this 5th child, their daughter Priya. Then I woke up.
Jesus in the Man-child is Coming to Teach Us
Marie Kelton - 11/22/21 (David’s notes in red)
During the night meeting, I had an open vision, of me being in heaven. (In heavenly places in Christ. (Eph 2:6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus,) I was wearing all white. (Representing sanctification.) I and two other people ahead of me were all sitting down (Sitting with Him in heavenly places).
The Lord was in front of us as He started passing out graded test papers. (Jas 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations (i.e. testings); 3 Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. 4 And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.)
The first person got an A, the second person got a B. Then the Lord came to me and I got a C. All the grades were written in red ink with a circle around them. (Many times the words of Jesus are in red in the Bible but actually He is the Word of God, which is ALL of the Word. The words of God are a test for us as to whether we will have faith to obey them or not.)
After the Lord gave me my test paper back, He sat down and started to teach me. (Jas. 1: 5-8 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 8 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.) Then I woke up.
It made me think of these verses Mat 13:23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
1Jn 2:27 And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you; concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
Seeing Christ in the Mirror
Marie Kelton - 1-28-22 (David’s notes in red)
During the night the lord gave me a vision of my spiritual man in a dark place. (1 Co. 13:10-12 but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.)
She was wearing all white and standing in front of a vanity that was all white with a desk and a chair.
My spiritual man was looking in the mirror, and saw a black being there. I knew it was my flesh man in the mirror. (Jas 1:23-24 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. 23 For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.)
My spiritual man broke the mirror by hitting it (Because we cannot see the old man in the mirror or we will not be justified by faith and not have the power to obey.) Then I saw the Lord standing next to my spiritual man in front of the vanity. (2 Co. 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.)
Run Your Own Race
Claire Pienaar - 3/7/22
(Joe Brits notes in Green | David’s notes in Red)
I dreamed I (Representing the Bride) was in a white limousine. (The limo represents that we’re very important, because Jesus lives in us, and we are resting from all works, and we’re driven by acts of sanctification. It’s only Jesus in us who’s important Joh 3:13 And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven. [This part was added in; It has no Numeric pattern as the rest does.]) (Joe Brits: Claire, meaning “brilliant”, denotes the “lampros garment” of the Bride corporate body in Revelation 19.). Joe Brits was in the limousine with me. (Joe Brits: The limo represents the vehicle or the means to be delivered at the start of the tribulation. The name Joe is short for Joseph, who represents the Man-Child. See the Man-child Bride Book, page 63: Jesus, in the corporate body of Man-child ministers around the world who is the husband or head of His Bride).
Joe was dressed in bright blue classic running shorts and a bright blue running vest. He had a gold medal and chain around his neck. (Joseph was an Old Testament type of the Man-child, Jesus. He is dressed in blue representing the works of Christ in the Man-child.) (Joe Brits: The Man-Child has finished or completed his race or his training (and won to be the first fruits). He is ready for his part that he must play in the tribulation. Gen 41:41-42 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. 42 And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck).
Joe was speaking in future, past and present tenses all at the same time, saying “I am training for the race, I’ve just finished the race. I’ve run the race. I am running the race. I will run the race”. (Joe Brits: Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for ever). (Riaan: We live looking forward in faith (future), in the present through the trial, while looking at what happened on the cross in the past as a done deal!)(The Man-child runs the race seeing the end from the beginning by faith. 1 Co. 9:24-27 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? (The one is Jesus and those who abide in Him through faith.) Even so run; that ye may attain. 25 And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air: 27 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.)
I thought, “Mmm, me too. I am also training for the race. I wonder if he uses a treadmill? (The Bride will understand by the witness of the Man-child that the race must be won through faith.) (Joe Brits: None of the training was self-works. The race must be run with patience with ourselves and in our faith for the promises to manifest.)(Heb 12:1 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, 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.)
I thought “I wonder how long he’s been training?” (It depends on how consistently we repent and act on our faith.)
I thought, “I wonder if we’ve entered the same race?” (The end result is the same; Christlikeness, but we are running for different offices, like Man-child and Bride.)(Joe Brits: Some have been running this race longer than others but it doesn't matter, for we are not racing against each other (but to be ready in time). 1 Co 9:24 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. The "one" here is those who abide in the "One" Jesus Christ who IS the Word. Jesus will finish the race and all in Him will, too. The prizes are many: eternal life, a work or ministry, fruit, the high calling of the Man-child or the Bride, etc https://www.ubm1.org/?page=running
Running the Race with Patience - UBM [David Eells]
Setting the Eagle Free Bill Steenland - 05/04/2014 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was watching a cloud unfold in Heaven.{Heb.12:1} Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses (of the faith-filled people mentioned in chapter 11), lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set ...

).
Because he had the medal around his neck, I assumed he’d already completed it, and I thought “His age category must have gone first”. (The Man-child must mature first in order to train the Bride and these people are foreknown from before the foundation of the earth.).
I woke up and forgot about the dream. Then I was just starting to read this portion of my Bible when I remembered it: Lev 2:4-5: “And when thou offerest an oblation of a meal-offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. And if thy oblation be a meal-offering of the baking-pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. As an oblation of first-fruits ye shall offer them unto Jehovah: but they shall not come up for a sweet savor on the altar. And every oblation of thy meal-offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meal-offering: with all thine oblations thou shalt offer salt. And if thou offer a meal-offering of first-fruits unto Jehovah, thou shalt offer for the meal-offering of thy first-fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear. And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meal-offering. And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the bruised grain thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.” (Our meal must be the unleavened bread of the Word so that we are unleavened. It must be seasoned with salt or purified when we speak it. Col 4:6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.)
Abiding in Heavenly Places
Alenna Timoshchuk - 12/17/21 (David’s notes in red)
I dreamt that my husband David went to visit David Eells and Michael, but instead of visiting them where they lived now, he actually was visiting them in heaven. (Representing the first fruits Man-child ministers living in "heavenly places in Christ".) None of them were dead, they were still alive on this earth but it was like there was a lower part of heaven that was open to those who abide in Christ and they could visit it, even though they were still alive on earth. (The first fruits come into perfection through Christ first by abiding with him in heavenly places.)
I got to see a bit of it as if I was looking through my husband’s eyes and it looked like it was just above all the mountain peaks. (Looking through our husband’s eyes represents seeing the way our heavenly husband Jesus sees. The Bride has the eyes of a dove, representing the Holy Spirit, just as her husband Jesus does. Song 4:1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are as doves behind thy veil. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, That lie along the side of mount Gilead. And Song 5:12 His eyes are like doves beside the water-brooks, Washed with milk, and fitly set.) It had beautiful pine trees and rivers and Michael and David lived in a beautiful large log cabin, a really fancy one. (For anyone who loves the outdoors and appreciates nature, this would be their dream place. Just the prettiest scenery you could ever imagine.) (I was shown in a vision years ago a tower of logs that represented the UBM ministry that the Lord was giving me. This log cabin represents the UBM ministry living the crucified life, represented by the cross timbers at the corners.)
My husband stayed with them for three days then came back to me and was just so excited telling me all about it. He was saying how Michael (Meaning, “Who is like God”) held a staff in his hand and if someone wanted to enter that part of heaven, then he’d hold it out and if the color turned red, then the person could not enter because they weren’t abiding in Christ, but if it turned green, then they could go in. He told me how relieved he was when the staff turned green and not red and started telling me about how wonderful and beautiful everything was up there. (The first fruits have very good discernment; the discernment of Jesus, and the wicked don’t ever get past them. 2 Co. 10:6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.)
Then he pulled out a branch from a pine tree and gave it to me. It had the most beautiful aroma. I thought it was so sweet that he brought me a souvenir from heaven. (Pine trees are evergreens and they represent everlasting life. Jesus is the Father of Eternity and the Branch. This is the gift or souvenir that Jesus has brought back to us with His resurrection. Isa. 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 shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father (Hebrew: Father of Eternity), Prince of Peace.)
Then I told him, “I want to go so badly. I want to be in heaven.” And he smiled and hugged me and said, “Let’s go for your birthday on March 6th. (3/6 or 3+6=9. 9 was the hour that Jesus died on the cross and there are 9 fruits of the Spirit for those who have died to self. And, as in the natural, those who die get to go to heaven. Our birthday begins when we begin to die to our flesh by living the crucified life then we begin to bear the fruits of the Spirit of God as He makes us a new creature in Christ.)
Then he said, “Maybe then we can stay there for a month.” (30 days? Jesus was 30, as the Law states, when He began his ministry.) I was so excited! I knew it would be the best birthday I’ve ever had but I worried a little that we wouldn’t have enough money to not work for an entire month. (God will always make provision when He holds the green staff because we walk by faith to follow in His footsteps.) Then I woke up.
Manifesting Perfection Through Christ
David Eells
Father, I ask You to reach out and touch the brethren who are hearing this today and just show forth Your mercy and Your grace upon them. Lord, let Your Scriptures touch their hearts. Bring it to their remembrance some time when they’re in need. Give them a hunger to walk in the precious things that You’re offering, Lord. Thank You, Father. Thank You for working all things together for our good. And Lord, we want to walk in that perfection that we’ve been talking about. We know that Jesus has already suffered and died in order to give us that freely; and Lord, we praise You, that You’re going to finish the great work You’ve started in us. Thank You so much, Lord.
We have discovered that the life of Christ is actually the glory of God, and that what God is seeking is that glory manifested in us. That’s what He calls “fruit” and that’s what He calls “sonship.” And that’s what He calls “perfection.” (Col.3:4) When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. “Manifested” is a really good term because it doesn’t give the meaning of a physical appearance. The meaning of “manifested” here is “to cause to shine; to make visible.” Obviously, the life of Christ is being birthed in us, but it’s not yet all visible to the world around us. Similar to bringing forth a child, there’s a time when the fruit is visible and seen.
The fruit we want, of course, is the fruit of Christ. It says, “When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be made visible, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.” We found that this glory is the shining forth of the righteousness and the purity and the truth of Christ.
I would like to go a little deeper because I know you have some questions about growing from glory to glory. (2Co.3:18) But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. That glory is the life of Christ. It is imputed to us by walking in obedience to the Word of God and it becomes an actual part of our life, our nature and our thoughts. But, we grow from “glory to glory”. Let's study those glories just a little bit to see what they are and how to progress.
We know that as we behold the glory of the Lord, we’re transformed into that same image from glory to glory, but the Word speaks about getting a greater and greater revelation of the Lord in the mirror that’s slightly different. (1Co.13:10) But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. That perfection is the fruit; it is the glory of God; it is sonship.
(11) When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. He’s talking here about coming to perfection, coming to maturity. It’s the same word being used: “completion.” (12) For now we see in a mirror, darkly…. We understand from 2 Corinthians 3:18 that we see Jesus in a mirror and we’re transformed into that same image from glory to glory, but we don’t start out seeing the clear image of Jesus. We see Him somewhat and as we grow in knowledge and understanding of the Word, we come into more of a revelation of Who He really is.
Many of us have known a false Jesus, a Jesus who’s not the real Jesus. We’ve had an immature idea of what Jesus is like. But as we discover His Will, His desire, His power and His nature in the Word, we come into a greater revelation. The word “darkly,” here, in the Greek is, “in a riddle,” and a riddle is something in which the truth is hidden. The Bible is that way. (Pro.25:2) It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. He has hidden the face of Christ in the Word for those who really, truly desire to come into the revelation of Who He is. To walk in that and to see Him in the mirror is a progressive thing.
So he says, (1Co.13:12) For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face. He’s talking about “when that which is perfect is come.” You see, the closer we get to the end, the more we see the true image of Jesus. We come to know Him as He is, as we become more and more familiar with His Word, which is His nature, and He is the Word. (12) For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. In other words, “when that which is perfect is come.” Knowing in part is seeing dimly, darkly in the mirror, in a riddle in the mirror, but knowing fully is coming to know the true Jesus so we can come into that image.
You need to come to know Him because when you look in the mirror, that’s your gift. You’re reaching out in your faith to receive all that He is because He made reconciliation for you; He made an exchange for you. It goes on to say, (13) But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three: and the greatest of these is love. So we’re growing in this glory-to-glory revelation and we’re growing in the revelation of Who Jesus Christ is.
I’d like to point out to you the stages of glory in Christian growth: (1Co.15:35) But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come? (36) Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die (so we’re talking about the kinds of bodies that Christians are going to have): (37) and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind; (38) but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own. (39) All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
What point is God making? He’s speaking of the difference in the earthly flesh that all creatures have. So, also in the resurrected body there will be a difference. (40) There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another. We are sown a terrestrial, or earthly body, but will come forth a celestial, or heavenly body; that is, of course, a much higher creation than this one.
But now he tells us a secret, one that many people don’t know: (41) There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory. (42) So also is the resurrection of the dead... Did you catch that? There are different glories: star, moon and sun (Son) glory – and even the stars have a different glory one from another. “So also is the resurrection of the dead.” In other words, not everybody is going to have the same body because they’re not going to have the glory when they’re finished here. And I’m going to prove that to you:
(1Co.15:42) … It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: (43) it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: (44) it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. (Remember what we saw, that the spiritual bodies are different.) If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [body]. (45) So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit. (46) Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual. (47) The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven. (48) As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. (49) And as we have borne the image of the earthy, let us (Numeric) also bear the image of the heavenly. That’s what it says in the original, in the Numeric, and in the ancient manuscripts. It doesn’t say, “we shall.” Many like “we shall” because it doesn’t give them any responsibility now, but it says, “let us also bear the image of the heavenly.”
Where are we to bear the image of the heavenly? In the hereafter? No! We start right here! God starts that in us, first spirit, then soul and then, ultimately, body. We saw that sonship starts first in your spirit which is the born again Spirit of Christ. Then, through your obedience to the Spirit, your soul is begotten (or born again) through the living Word of God and, then, ultimately, if you’ve borne fruit there, you receive that new body.
He’s commanding us, “let us also bear the image of the heavenly.” So how do we do that? Well, this glorious body that we receive – the star, moon and sun glory body, are all given because of the star, moon and sun glory life. That shows a difference of reward and the Bible teaches that.
Here is a good example of God using these different glories as types of bodies of people on the earth. The following passage deals with a dream that Joseph had, after he had the dream of the sheaves of his brethren bowing down to his sheaf: (Gen.37:9) And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me. (10) And he told it to his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? (11) And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind. He thought, “Maybe there’s something spiritual here; maybe there’s something I’m not really enlightened about.”
But look at what God likened His people to. Joseph was likened to one of the stars, who had been separated from his brethren for the purpose of reigning. And God is doing that now, brethren. He is raising up a man-child ministry. Notice that all of God’s people are stars, but there is one that is called “the moon,” which is the mother, in this case.
In Revelation 12, the mother’s position was standing on the moon. That’s her position in God – standing upon the moon – and she brought forth the Man-child, who, in this case, was Joseph, as a type of the Man-child. Of course, the father here was the “sun.” Jesus is called the “Father of Eternity” because He is the one Who sows the seed in us that brings forth the fruit of Himself. We see here that God is using the sun, moon and star glories as types, or groups, of His people.
Let's look first at what these stars may represent. We can see that God said this to Abraham a couple of times: (Gen.22:17) That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. So here we are the seed of Abraham, who is the father of us all. The Bible calls us “stars.” We all start out our spiritual life as star glory, but we don’t end up that way – thank God.
In meditating on this, the Lord has shown me some things about glory and one is that it represents righteousness. It represents the percentage of the life of Christ in us. If you start out as star glory, for instance, when you are first born-again, you have a glory. All stars have their own glory. This comes into the parable more and more as we look at moon and sun glory, in comparison. In a way, the stars are separate one from another, but they have their own glory; they have their own righteousness. Every star has a percentage of the righteousness of the Lord because, as we’re born again, we get a new spirit – a born-again spirit from God. That spirit is full of the glory of God.
We had a fallen spirit and now, suddenly, we have a born-again spirit. It’s called the Spirit of Christ in Romans chapter eight. But even though we have the righteousness of God, we have self-righteousness, as well, and it’s what keeps us apart, like the stars are separated. If you consider Christ to be the sun, they are seated with Christ in the heavenlies, and that’s good, but they are separated from one another.
Here’s a different example that tells us about the stars: (Dan.12:3) And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. There’s a great revival coming in these end times. Many people who have had no glory whatsoever are going to suddenly walk in the glory of God in a percentage and star glory represents the 30-fold percentage.
There are three bearings of fruit, according to the Parable of the Sower: 30-, 60- and 100-fold. These were the ones who entered the Kingdom. So, star glory is the beginning and it represents 30-fold fruit. Many will be turned “to righteousness as the stars,” the Bible says.
After star glory, we have another stage into which we have to grow. Again, what the Lord showed me was that the stars were separate one from another and they have their own glory. This, in a way, separates them because glory is righteousness. We have some self-righteousness and we have some God-righteousness. That self-righteousness keeps us from becoming one with our brethren.
The next stage we grow into is moon glory and here is a really good demonstration of moon glory: (Rom.6:3) Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? (4) We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. (5) For if we have become united with [him] in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of his resurrection. We have to become united with Him in the likeness of His death to reach moon glory. The moon is dead. It doesn’t have any righteousness of its own, but reflects only the sun. It has given up its own righteousness to reflect only the righteousness of the sun. That’s all the moon can do because it’s dead. But, it’s also “one.”
Many stars are separate because of their own glory, as we have seen. Denominations are separate from one another because of self-righteousness. People separate from one another, due to self-righteousness, because they’re immature and factious, dividing into and denominating from one another. Jesus prayed, “that they may be one, even as we [are] one” (Joh.17:22). But instead, because of their self-righteousness, they are proud, they resist the Word of God and they fight against their brethren. Through death to self we become united with one another. This is the second stage or 60-fold fruit; this is moon glory.
Like the moon, it says we become united with Him in the likeness of His death. We also shall be united with Him in His resurrection. That is sun glory and, as we walk through the phase of death-to-self, we come to the resurrection life that is 100-fold sun glory. That’s completion; that’s perfection; that’s sonship that we’re talking about. We’re already sons of God by faith, but we’re walking into it through the death, burial and resurrection that these three glories represent. (Rom.6:6) Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin.
Death to that old man – death to the old self – that’s how we come into the resurrection life of Christ. We have no light of our own, but reflect only that light which comes from Him.
I’d like to go a little deeper now into a very plain revelation of the moon glory that I’ve already mentioned: (Rev.12:1) And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. Everything is represented here: the sun, the moon and the stars. This woman gives birth to the Man-child, the “first fruits” they are called in Revelation 14. The Man-child ministry that’s coming forth is the first fruits of those who come into sun glory. It’s by grace; it’s by His calling and by His direction, and it’s going to come to pass.
The woman here is the corporate mother of this corporate Man-child. The 12 stars around her head are her children and it also represents the doctrine of the 12 apostles in her mind. There are lots of things you could see there that might all be correct because God is big and He can hide an awful lot of things in a revelation. Obviously, moon glory is not yet perfect, nor is star glory, and God tells us so in Job. Neither of these are quite clean in His eyes, nor quite finished in His eyes. (Job 25:5) Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, And the stars are not pure in his sight.
God’s looking for something greater than moon glory and greater than star glory. He’s looking for the resurrection life of Christ in us, which is the most brilliant glory. He goes on to say, (6) How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a worm! God looks on lost man as a creature of the dirt, of the earth, as nothing more than a worm.
Obviously, this dirt is made to bring forth the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s its purpose and without that we’re not fulfilling the Will of God. We’re growing and the people of God will grow through this process, especially in the days to come, from star glory to moon glory to sun glory.
Isaiah has a really good revelation of this growth that’s going to come to pass in the Tribulation to come: (Isa.30:26) Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun… (Praise God! Those who go through this death to self will come into resurrection life, which is what we just read in Romans 6.) (26) Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days…. Well, here’s a revelation! “Seven-fold” here means that God is going to bring forth fruit out of all the Church – all seven churches. He’s going to bring forth a fruit out of them that will come into the image of Jesus Christ.
Not all will come into the sun glory, but it will be spread throughout the Church; hence, seven-fold. Also, it will be as the light of seven days, meaning the Tribulation period. The time that the Bible calls the Tribulation period is the time of the most growth for God’s people because they’re going through their “wilderness” experience. They’re learning to give up themselves, learning to come into a faith relationship with God in the wilderness. Spiritual growth shall be extremely fast at that time because of the great Latter Rain outpouring, which comes on the morning of the “third day,” as Hosea said.
(Isa.30:26) Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. God is going to heal His people; He’s going to bind up what was broken. Remember the anointing of Jesus shown in (Isaiah 61:1) … He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to them that are bound. God is going to restore His people who are walking as lame and blind. God is going to restore all that in these days. He called it the Latter Rain. He said that it would be restoration of all the things that the palmer-worm, the locust, the canker-worm and the caterpillar had taken from His crop for all these years in (Joel 1:4). This is the greatest promise of God that’s going to come forth in these days.
How is this growth going to take effect? Here’s what Paul says: (Php.3:9) And be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own (Notice, He’s not going to settle for star glory, which separates him from his brethren), [even] that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.
This glory, which is righteousness shining forth from us, is coming because of our faith in God, not because of our works or our ability. (10) That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection (that’s the sun glory), and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death. That’s the unity that God is going to bring His people to through death. This wilderness is a death experience, in order to bring God’s people into His presence. This unity is going to be the moon glory which brings us to the resurrection life.
What is that resurrection life? (11) If by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead. (12) Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect (this is what the resurrection life is – perfection; it is the sun glory): but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. Well, how did He lay hold on us? (Heb.10:14) For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. He perfected us. Now we’re seeing perfection as resurrection life and are being seen as the sun glory people who are going to enter into this.
The sun glory is the next stage that I’d like to look at: (2Pe.1:19) And we have the word of prophecy [made] more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place…. When you’re in your star glory, the dark place is your soul because it’s the next part of you that needs to be sanctified. God gives us a new spirit first, so we have a power, a connection, a discernment and an ability to walk with Him. The next stage is having your soul born again through your obedience to the truth, which is what Peter said: (1Pe.1:22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth (in other words, when you obey your spirit, your soul will be born again) unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: (23) having been begotten again (or born again), not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. “Whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place.”
(Pro.20:27) The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, Searching all his innermost parts. The brightest part of you, the most connected-with-God part of you, is your spirit and your soul needs to take on the life of that spirit. So, your lamp, your spirit, is shining forth with the oil, the light of the Spirit of God into your soul to regenerate your soul. And, what does Peter say? (2Pe.1:19) And we have the word of prophecy [made] more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts.
What is this lamp? Pro 20:27 The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah, Searching all his innermost parts. It is searching the soul.
“Day star” comes from the word “phosphoros", meaning “light-bearing.” The archaic meaning of “day star” was “the sun,” so when we’re talking about the day star arising in your heart, we’re talking about sun glory being manifested in you.
There was an occultic reason for it, but in latter times, people began to call Venus the “light-bearer.” That’s ridiculous. Get up in the morning and see if you see Venus. Are you looking for Venus or do you see the light-bearer, the sun? So we have a little bit of evidence here and, also, we have the words “morning star.” (Rev.22:16) I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star. The Lord is our bright and morning star, so that’s another meaning for the glory of the sun/Son. “Until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts.”
So, we have an end and a purpose. (Pro.4:18) But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The dawning light brings you into the perfect light. What is the perfect light? It’s not the evening; it’s the midday. We have more and more of the light in our life and less and less shadow. The least shadow is at the “perfect day,” when the sun is straight up overhead. That’s our life, when we’re walking in nothing but the light of God’s Word – this “word of prophecy [made] more sure” – the Word which was given to beget our soul unto Him.
We are called to manifest Christ in spirit and soul, while we walk in this body. Those are stages while we walk in this body. We’re putting on Christ, putting on this bright garment. Are we talking about a garment for the flesh? No, we’re talking about a garment for the soul. (Rom.13:11) And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed. (12) The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness….
What are our works? Well, faith without works is dead; it’s incomplete. The fruit of faith is works. The fruit of the spirit – the love, joy, peace, longsuffering – these are works, but they are the works that are birthed from your spirit. That’s why they’re called the fruit of the Spirit and they’re birthed by everyone who walks by faith, so works are the fruit of faith. Don’t tell me that you have faith and don’t have works. James said, “I by my works will show thee [my] faith.” (Jas.2:18).
Again, we’re not talking about the works of man or the works of the Law; I’m talking about the works of God through you. If you walk by faith, you will have the works of God. (Rom.13:12) The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Notice that as you put on the works of light, you’re casting off the works of darkness, which is a garment. You’re taking off one garment and putting on another called the armor of light. It’s not only the works of light, it’s the armor of light because the armor of light is a protection against the enemy that wants to drag us down. (Rom.13:13) Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. (14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ….
So we put on the armor of light and we put on the salvation he’s talking about, which is Jesus Christ. If you put on the works of the devil, you’re putting on the works of darkness. (14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof]. So we’re putting on a garment, the Bible calls it, and we’re warned that God doesn’t want that garment to be polluted or stained. (Jud.1:23) And some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. So you can have the works of darkness on your clean garment and you are to hate the works of darkness. We are to turn away from them, cast them down, cast off that garment and put on the garment that the Lord has commanded us to wear. That’s what sanctification is, that’s what perfection is and that’s what putting on the works of Christ is. We need to constantly be putting on the works of Christ, as we read the Word of God.
We know that there are stages of perfection, even at the end. (Rev.19:7) Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Notice that it says, “herself.” You know, we have the authority of God to do this. (Rom.8:13) [F]or if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. You have to take the authority of God and the power of God’s Spirit to do this. If you don’t cooperate, it won’t be done, so it is up to you to do what God has given you to do. He’s given you the authority.
(Rev.19:8) And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright (the word here is lampros: radiant) [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. We’re putting on the garment of light in the spirit realm. Notice that those who are bidden (meaning invited) to the marriage supper don’t have the same garment. The Bride has this lampros garment. There is a difference between the Bride and the virgins, and between the Bride and those bidden to the marriage supper. (Rev.19:9) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb.
You don’t invite the Bride, obviously. She’s one of the ones doing the inviting, but there are people who will come to the marriage feast and won’t be in the Bride. The Scripture teaches that very plainly. The virgins are not a part of the Bride, contrary to popular thinking. But these people are also riding white horses to finish off the enemies of God. (14) And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white [and] pure. There’s the “fine linen” again, except this time, the word is “white,” which is leukos, not lampros: which is "brilliant.” It doesn’t have the glory of the lampros garment. That glory is radiant and this is simply leukos or white.
They’re invited but they’re not the Bride. The Bride is the sun glory and God’s plan is that He has given to us everything that we need to enter into sun glory. Many don’t cooperate; many don’t accept the faith or the knowledge that’s been given unto them. They run after idols and don’t have time for God or for His Word to renew their mind and so they come up short.
Since we’re seeing that works have everything to do with star, moon and sun glory, there is a difference in reward, as we read in 1 Corinthians 15. We see it also, here: (2Co.4:17) For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. The glory is what we’re talking about – this brilliance, this brightness, this sun glory that we’re coming into.
The tribulations that we go through are to bring us into His glory while we cooperate with Him. God will send plenty of people to help us by putting us on our cross. We go through suffering for the purpose of Christ’s life being manifested in us. We need to cooperate with Him in it because this more “eternal weight of glory” only works while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal (18). In other words, we “calleth the things that are not, as though they were” (Rom.4:17). We look in the mirror and we see Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18).
We accept our sun (Son) glory from the very beginning. Christ is the One Who lives in us and that’s why we can look in the mirror and see Jesus. (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me…. That’s faith; that’s looking “not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.” This we must do because it is faith that brings about this manifestation.
In (2Co.5:1) For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. Now he’s going to tell a secret here: (2) For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon (there’s this clothing again) with our habitation which is from heaven. Did you know that God is doing that now? It is the glory of God in which we’re dressing up in the life of Christ first spirit, then soul, then body. (3) If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. When your body dies, if you don’t have this glory, you will be found naked. (4) For indeed we that are in this tabernacle (meaning this fleshly body here) do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed (in other words, we’re not desiring to physically die here), but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life. So he’s saying, “Not that we would lose this body, but that we would be clothed upon while we have this body.”
That’s contrary to a lot of people’s theology, but it’s very plain here. He’s saying, “It’s not that we’re looking for this body to pass away; we’re looking for this glory before we lose this body.” Notice, “that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.” That life has to swallow you up. (5) Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit. (6) Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. … (10) For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.
The judgment seat is the bema seat and it means “footprint tribunal.” You are going to be judged by how closely you walked in the footprints of Christ. John says the same thing: (1Jn.2:6) he that sayeth he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. We will all have to go to the footprint tribunal of Christ.
Now I’m going to show you something about 2 Corinthians 5:10 from the Numerics. This will prove what the original words were, because the translator’s understanding has gotten in here. God put a perfect pattern in every Greek word in the New Testament so we’d know that. In the Numerics, it says, “That each may receive through the body according to what he hath done, whether good or bad,” meaning your works, coming right back around full circle here. Your works are going to determine what kind of body you’re going to get because your works determine what glory you are walking in. Your works determine how much of the glory of God you are walking in, whether you are star, moon or sun glory. Notice it says, “what he hath done, whether good or bad,” and that’s going to determine what kind of body you get.
We see that there is a star glory body, a moon glory body and a sun glory body. We’ve seen what it takes to go from star glory to sun glory. And now we’re seeing that our works are our fruit and our faith, and this is what everyone is going to be judged by. You know that everyone is going to be judged by their works. Nowhere does it say that He is going to judge your faith. In every instance, He says you’re going to be judged by your works: (Rev.2:23) And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your works. Jesus said He would render to every man according to his works. (Matthew 16:27; Proverbs 24:12).
Always, everywhere, it says that God is going to render unto you according to your works. Look at the Parable of the Servants and the talents that were given to them. Their judgment was according to their works. Look at the cities that people are going to rule over. Again, it is according to their works.
Now, who is it that ends up not bearing fruit? They that allow their garment that was given unto them in the beginning to be stained, meaning they are walking in sin. What’s going to happen to these people? And who are these people? I’ll point out one thing to you: (Rev.6:12) And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood. (That is the persecution and death of the saints.) (13) And the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth…. If one star fell to the earth, there wouldn’t be an earth, so this is not talking about a physical star falling to the earth. It is talking about those who are seated with Christ in heavenly places, the seed of Abraham. This is meant to be a parable and you destroy it if you make it natural. (13) And the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree (representing God’s people) casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind.
This is the fruit that God expects the fig tree to bear. Remember why Jesus said in parable to Give it one more year, Father, and then cut it down if it doesn’t bear fruit. Well, here it is, being cut down. Some people say, “That’s the angels.” No, it’s not the angels. It’s the unripe fruit of God’s people. It is God’s stars who have not progressed, nor even held their own. The servant with the one talent hid his talent in the earth. He didn’t bear any fruit and he didn’t even save what he had.
But look at what Revelation says about the dragon that’s waiting before the woman: (Rev.12:4) And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered…. This is talking about the seed of God’s people, the seed of Abraham, who lose their position of being seated with Christ in the heavenlies. This is their reprobation. He said He was going to spew the lukewarm out of His mouth and what He means is out of the body of Christ.
Those who do not bear fruit to walk in the glory of God, to walk in progressive manifestation of sonship, to walk by faith so that their faith is accounted as righteousness; these people are ultimately going to fall away and go through the great and terrible day of the Lord at the end of the tribulation. They will go through the flood and they will be destroyed.
So we see that we have a certain amount of time, each one of us, in order to bear the fruit, in order to walk in the steps of Jesus, and that when we are called before the bema seat, the footprint tribunal, we will receive through the body according to what we have done, whether good or bad. What does “through the body” mean? How is God going to reward us through the body? He is going to give us a body accordingly and suiting the work that we have done on the earth.
We desire earnestly that His fruit be in us, so that we be sun glory, which is 100-fold. Some people say, “Oh, that’s not possible.” Well, it’s not up to us; it’s up to God. He’s the One Who fulfills it for all those who walk by faith. (2Co.4:18) While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
So we are looking at the eternal life of Christ, which was given unto us at the cross. We don’t live anymore; He lives in us. That’s sun glory. Accept this free gift. Walk in it and God will empower you. He will bring it to pass and you can trust in Him. Glory be to God! Keep your faith and your eyes upon Him and He will bring it to pass. God bless you, saints.
