Chapter #22




The Agate Stone - Overcoming the Giants In Our Land


MANASSEH.... Means forgetfulness; to be restored; to have no part of the old nature left within....The putting together of many nations.


AGATE.... Even layers.... beauty of many colors. Where the river flows.....


JEHOVAH KEDDESH....TO be sanctified or separated.... The LORD who separates us from our old nature. He will divide the words in our mind from the spirit that gives them life. (Even as the BONE which is a TYPE of the WORD or structure that houses the MARROW, a type of the source of our life....Marrow is the place of origin of our blood; the natural life is in the blood.)He shall make us forget our old nature and bind us together in a new nature.

Leviticus 20:7-8. Hebrews ch 4.


This is the manifestation of God that separates the source of our SPIRIT from the word itself. It exposes, sifts, analyzes and judges the THOUGHTS and PURPOSES of our HEART.....

Not a creature exists that is not exposed to His sight. All things are revealed that He may receive an immovable and impregnable Kingdom.... Put together by His own hand and not the hand of man.....

{Vision}

And I saw beneath the hooves of the Horse Jesus was upon: the Agate Stone, the same Stone I had seen upon the Ephod, and understanding came to me, and I saw and beheld HIM THAT WOULD DISCERN THE THOUGHTS AND THE INTENTS OF THE HEART.

And there was from the contact of the hooves of Christ’s horse upon the Agate, lightnings and thunderings as the Horse did stride forward upon this stone.

And I saw that this discernment first had happened to those who had Overcome....... and I was struck with awe at the sight of this terrible army..............

And the Horse Jesus was upon took a step forward and lightning and thunderings pealed forth across the Heavens from under it’s hoof, the first of several steps. And this Horse did step forth upon the Agate Pavement, and I knew that the thunder of it’s step did speak to me. And it said “JUSTICE”. And the second step said “EQUITY”

{The vision did not end here}

*********************

There is right now at this hour a demonic entity from the realm of the Principalities and Powers in the Heavenly Places that is deceiving some of the Sons of God. The deception is happening in two places in their thinking. Their thinking is based on what they term as “correct doctrine” in the midst of their study of scripture and what they perceive is the inner workings of God’s Spirit within them. God has gathered together His Sons and Daughters unto Himself in this hour and has permitted this demonic entity to attack them this way to test and to prove them to see which of His Sons would fall and which of His sons would arise and Overcome.


The two places in their thinking that this entity is attacking has caused a rift, a division amongst the company of Sons and Daughters. A deep division that has totally cut off communication of one Son or Daughter from another. From those who accept the subtle suggestion of this demonic entity and those who do not.


I perceive in my spirit that the Sons and Daughters of God who have rejected the deceptive thought in the minds of those who have accepted this lie have become even more isolated, more alone, more “out of the scene” as relates to being known for who they are in the earth. They seem to be more shut out behind the curtain of God’s dealings than the rest of humanity including those who have believed these two lies of this entity. The Sons and Daughters of God who have accepted the two lies from this entity have shut out the Sons and Daughters of God from their thinking and from their fellowship. They have “chosen” to disregard their warnings and their pleas to see the error that has come. Instead, they have banded together in this deception and have agreed as an assembly of people that their new doctrine is truth when in fact their new doctrine is rife with a complex series of lies that has caused them to stumble and fall.


JEHOVAH KEDDESH permitted this to happen so that He could see which hearts truly would pay the price of totally laying down their lives as Jesus did in Gethsemane so that they can finally complete the process of dying to this world to live in resurrection life. We are at a vital point in our History. And this point is seen in Mystery. The Mystery of God working in us to separate us totally unto His perfect will and that Lucifer, the fallen Adamic Nature in mankind, sitting upon the Throne of God in the heart of the Overcomer, the Holy Place as God when in fact Lucifer is the supplanter of God. Just one more act of JEHOVAH KEDDESH in separating those who truly will Overcome all things and those who will not. AND THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE COMPANY OF SONS IN THIS VERY HOUR.


Remember, the Agate Stone represents the Son or Daughter of God alone before God having their two natures dealt with so that they are free to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.


The two areas of deception are:

1} That Christ is now in every man, woman and child on earth in seed form. He is already there, but the seed is not activated yet by personal choice or timing.

2} That there is in the life of the Overcomer NO MORE Old Nature from fallen Adam.

**********************

The truth of this is apparent in scripture. Israel was commanded to go into the land flowing with Milk and Honey, but there were “ite” nations in the land, those who were not supposed to be there. So here we are, back at ground zero in our study. We are still in the throes of overcoming things IN US that need to be conquered!


If you were to believe the demonic entity who gave these two lies I have listed above, then you would:

1} Not need to testify of the Grace of God in your life because Christ is already in everybody so therefore we can view everybody in a totally different, all inclusive and accepting light!

2} That there would be NO nations - sins - realms of the fallen nature - in us to overcome because there is no old nature in us!

To believe these two lies one has to shortcut the work of God in the earth by another means. And God does not take shortcuts! God does not apply Himself to what we think is true doctrine! He applies Himself by HIS WRITTEN WORD.


The realms in us of the fallen adamic nature are what we have to overcome. These are typified in a number of places in the Old Testament as the “ite’ nations that inhabited Canaan { A topology of the New Nature}, which we now overcome as realms of flesh.


There were in Canaan at that time the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite; six nations are only mentioned, {Exodus 34:11} though there were seven, the Girgashites being omitted, because either they left the land before, as some think, or because they at once submitted; they are added in the Septuagint version. Nevertheless, these typify to us the need to overcome and bring balance into us by {in time} conquering all things in our “land” {our own soul} and therefore stand!


Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:13


One of the fruits of the two lies from this demonic entity that has entered into the thinking of some of the Overcomers in this hour is that because there is no more Old Nature, and that Christ is now in everybody, that the world has actually and literally entered the time of The Kingdom of God being revealed in the earth. The world HAS NOT ENTERED A TIME OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN THE EARTH BECAUSE GOD HAS NOT YET REVEALED HIS OVERCOMING ARMY! Overcome lies with truth. And the truth is that we must still defeat these nations in us that would usurp our true right as Sons and Daughters of God in the earth. That we have the right to be more than conquerors through Him that loved us. That we can take “power” away from these things in our flesh so much so that they cannot move or work in us to influence our thoughts or our spiritual motions. BUT WE STILL MUST MARCH FORWARD FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.


The result of this entity’s lies in some of the Overcomers is that they will also in time recognize the false doctrine they hold and will have to go back to ground zero to overcome step by step these foreign nations in their own lands {souls}. As I said before, God does not take shortcuts. He expects us to take our full inheritance but it must be God who drives out this enemy before us as we advance in faith to lay hold of that for which Christ laid hold of us. Areas of character, bad judgement, soulish emotion and pride of race and calling. These are the inhabitants of our land, the things we need to put down and defeat in our faith - no shortcuts - but by daily walking out this attitude of obedience to the calling of God to see our lives come into full conformity to God’s will.


The Agate Stone in the center of the 3rd row upon The Royal Ephod is not on Lucifer’s Ephod because there is NOTHING MORE to judge in Lucifer! Christ already said “The prince of this world cometh and has nothing in me” John 14:30. “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.” John 12:31. In the vision I had of Jesus upon a White Horse with the Armies of Heaven on White Horses, the ground upon with the Horses landed on the earth was the same Agate as on the Breastplate, but was in this vision a paved work. A pavement upon which the Horses lit upon the ground to walk forward straight and in perfect order. And I saw a total of 7 steps that the Horse took that Jesus was upon. Each step in my mind during the vision opened up to me understanding of conquering these nations in our souls, as well as exactly what they mean to us in maturity and full victory. Each step defeated an enemy in Canaan. Or if you will, in the soul of an Overcomer. 7 thunders. 7 steps. 7 understandings. I feared about this because this was such an immense thing to me at the time, but now I know that it must be simplified for us to understand it by the Spirit of Truth. My thought was that there would be monstrously huge writings over each of these steps that the Horse took, but now I know that it can be simplified for each one.

**********************

These 7 steps if not obeyed become footings by which the “ite” nations can remain in place as a stronghold against the Overcomer.

**********************

Step 1} Justice. Removes from the Overcomer a false balance.

A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. ” Pro 11:1

Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.

                                                                                                               Proverbs 20:23

This false balance is seen in the Overcomer when there is in them anything that is too much of an emphasis. The world is full of false balances. God is separating us from this.


Step 2} Equity. Removes from the Overcomer that which is UNEQUAL as relates to how the world treats them in their testimony and because of this will deliver the Overcomer from areas of self protection.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

It is not that the world will ever be” just” in how it perceives the Overcomer. It is that we become “separated” from that which is not built in “equity” and that we live in a greater abandonment to God who we know is the only True and Righteous Judge that will remove anything from us that was UN-equal.


Step 3} Boldness. Removes from the Overcomer any area of passivity and complacence. This is where the Overcomer conquers the inner taints of lukewarmness and deception by donning the armor of Ephesians 6. It is here that “refusal” becomes the chief weapon against the powers that be, including realms of the Old Nature within that would prevent perfect peace in victory.

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:16, 17.

It must be noted that the boldness here is not boldness of DOCTRINE but of CHARACTER. That the boldness comes by the revelation of the Living Christ within the life of the Overcomer and that the Overcomer is identifying with the Victory of Christ’s Overcoming life. The doctrine that is true, that promotes God in total Glory and Victory will be without question when the character of the Christ is seen.

Step 4} Peace. In spite of the manifold temptations and trials that an Overcomer endures peace is their MAIN CHARACTER. They are one with the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ, and it is HIS PERSON that is seen as that very PRINCE. The Throne we inherit as Overcomers is based on the foundation of peace. The ones who reign there will reign as peacemakers. There is nothing about the Throne that will ever terrorize anyone including the workers of iniquity. They will suffer loss there, but they will gladly lose it to gain the PEACE OF HIS THRONE. Of all the Thunders that I heard under the Horse’s Hooves, this was the most intriguing. For it pealed across the Heavens in such a manner as to GATHER ALL THINGS BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD.

8. “Which He lavished upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence),

9. Making known to us the mystery (secret) of His will (of His plan, of His purpose). [And it is this:] In accordance with His good pleasure (His merciful intention) which He had previously purposed and set forth in Him,

10. [He planned] for the maturity of the times and the climax of the ages to unify all things and head them up and consummate them in Christ, [both] things in heaven and things on the earth.

11. In Him we also were made [God's] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will,

12. So that we who first hoped in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him have been destined and appointed to] live for the praise of His glory!

13. In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit.

14. That [Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring [complete] possession of it--to the praise of His glory.”

                                                                                       Ephesians 1:8-14 AMPLIFIED


Step 5} Deliverance. This is the key promise of JEHOVAH KEDDESH to those who are awaiting for His appearing. For this is the final place of the separation of bone and marrow, soul and Spirit. It is here in His appearing upon the Agate that we finally have removed from us completely any of the former taints of the Old Nature. As the Horse stepped forward upon the Agate we were delivered from that which once held us captive. The end of our flesh had finally come, there was only that which was of HIS NATURE that is seen as the New Creation in us. To prevent confusion over this understanding, just know that at present we are in the throes of testing to have the flesh conquered in our lives through daily tribulations which teach us to “walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh”. But when this thunder went forth, our flesh and the process of 2nd death came to a completion and there was no more death in us. The deception that I mentioned above that is happening to some of the Overcomers in this hour is the lie that there is no more Old Nature to contend with. There is, and that is why we endure trials and testings, to contend with it and to put it down in our faith. Not until His Appearing will this end.

40. “At that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.

41.Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left.

42. Watch therefore [give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming.”

Matthew 24:40-42 AMPLIFIED

This deliverance will then be signaled out to the rest of Humanity at that time. This will be the age of deliverance, when Christ will reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords over all the earth and the Nations in it, the time of the Restoration of all Creation.


Step 6} Nobility. The Thunder under the hoof of this White Horse also spoke to me of the ROYALTY OF THE OVERCOMERS. It was here that I saw the Overcomers as ONE WITH THE ROYAL KING OF KINGS. The very nobility of His Nature was now chief in their character along with Peace. No one was able to argue or dispute this Nobility. There was no spiritual entity that could attack it. No man of flesh that could argue against it or persecute it. The Nobility of the Overcomers was such that all the Earth had to become silent before this Mighty Army. Nothing could assert itself in a greater way against this Nobility for it had in it a Name which was above every name. We know that name is Jesus, but now the Overcomers were one with Him in that place of exaltation by the God. Each Overcomer on White Horses had on the same purple Royal Mantle of His Anointing which could not pass away or be removed and which proved them to be Kings and Priests unto God. And in our spiritual life in this hour it has become our hope.


11. “After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness). [Ezek. 1:1.]

12. His eyes [blaze] like a flame of fire, and on His head are many kingly crowns (diadems); and He has a title (name) inscribed which He alone knows or can understand. [Dan. 10:6.]

13. He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is The Word of God.

14. And the troops of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses.

15. From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent). [Ps. 2:9.]

16. And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. [Deut. 10:17; Dan. 2:47.]

17. Then I saw a single angel stationed in the sun's light, and with a mighty voice he shouted to all the birds that fly across the sky, Come, gather yourselves together for the great supper of God, [Ezek. 39:4, 17-20.]

18. That you may feast on the flesh of rulers, the flesh of generals and captains, the flesh of powerful and mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all humanity, both free and slave, both small and great!

                                                                          Revelation 19:11-18 AMPLIFIED


Step 7} Eternal Life. The first time these words were ever uttered was by the Lord Jesus Christ in the 19th chapter of Matthew. Eternal Life! At last, not just to obey God through the Law, but to see that obedience rewarded and fulfilled by receiving Eternal Life. The life of “the ages” was in this Army I saw, Eternal Life, no Old Creation to be part of it, but everything now made brand new. This life came by the “power” of Him who had a ceaseless life and who now brought forth those who were just like He was, the Melchisidek Priesthood. Those who ministered to God Himself, and then of course to man. This is also one of the greatest hopes for the Overcomer, to be granted such a place. It is here that Our Great High Priest hands over the completed Kingdom to God, then testifies of the Works of God from the very beginning of the 1st World creation. Summed up in this final step was the inclusion of all the others, that there was now a completed whole. A finality that cannot be undone or denied. Man, never to fall again. And God, filling ALL in ALL.


“Now if perfection (a perfect fellowship between God and the worshiper) had been attainable by the Levitical priesthood--for under it the people were given the Law--why was it further necessary that there should arise another and different kind of Priest, one after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one appointed after the order and rank of Aaron?                                                             Hebrews 7:11 AMPLIFIED


22. “For just as [because of their union of nature] in Adam all people die, so also [by virtue of their union of nature] shall all in Christ be made alive.

23. But each in his own rank and turn: Christ (the Messiah) [is] the firstfruits, then those who are Christ's [own will be resurrected] at His coming.

24. After that comes the end (the completion), when He delivers over the kingdom to God the Father after rendering inoperative and abolishing every [other] rule and every authority and power.

25. For [Christ] must be King and reign until He has put all [His] enemies under His feet. [Ps. 110:1.]

26. The last enemy to be subdued and abolished is death.

27. For He [the Father] has put all things in subjection under His [Christ's] feet. But when it says, All things are put in subjection [under Him], it is evident that He [Himself] is excepted Who does the subjecting of all things to Him. [Ps. 8:6.]

28. However, when everything is subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also subject Himself to [the Father] Who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all [be everything to everyone, supreme, the indwelling and controlling factor of life].

                                                                              1st Corinthians 15:22-28 AMPLIFIED


Thus we see the destruction and driving out of the inhabitants of Canaan {our soul} from before this marching Army of the Lord. What qualifies you for this Army? What sets you into it’s ranks? OBEDIENCE that is IN-WORKED by the Spirit of God and not by your own nature or ambitions. But by HIM WHO MUST DO THIS WORK BY HIS SPIRIT. Just give Him your life. And then Obey the steps before you in trials and testings. That way you indeed will ride upon a White Horse with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
