As read by Kenneth B Visscher
For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its
weakness and unprofitableness (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God. And inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that saith of him, The Lord sware and will not repent himself, Thou art a priest for ever); by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing: but he, because he abideth for ever, hath his priesthood unchangeable. Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to
offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. For the law appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which
was after the law, appointeth a Son, perfected for evermore. Hebrews 7:19-28 ASV
Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased their joy: they joy
before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide
the spoil. For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod
of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian. For all the armor
of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be for
burning, for fuel of fire. 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, Prince of Peace. Of the
increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne
of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice
and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of
hosts will perform this. The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted
upon Israel. And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart, The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone; the sycomores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place. Therefore Jehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies, the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. Yet the people have not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought Jehovah of hosts. Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day. The elder and the honorable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke. Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burnt up; and the people are as the fuel of fire: no man spareth his brother. And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm: Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. Isaiah 9:3-21
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white
horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness
he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his
head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but
he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his
name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out
of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and
he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:11-16
(2 Visions)
“I beheld Jesus
standing at the right hand of God the Father. He had upon Him the vesture of
royal purple with a violet coloured garment upon His chest, and across Him the
royal purple robe of His resurrection power. Upon His chest was emblazoned a
gold cross, and He stood, even by the right hand arm of the Throne ever living
to make intercession for us.”
(End Vision)
“I beheld Jesus
seated upon the Throne whereas before He stood beside it. He was holding cords
or lines in His right hand which were lines of His Spirit that proceeded out
from His right hand. Each line or cord went to the spirit of an Overcomer, as
many lines or cords as there was Overcomers, IN THE EARTH IN PRESENT TIME. I
saw that these cords represented the unity of Spirit that exists between they
that overcome and Jesus the first Overcomer. He holds all these cords in His
hand, holding our souls in life and suffering not our feet to be moved. I saw
then that as He held them, fire proceeded out of His hand and down each cord
into the hearts of they that overcame so that they too were ignited with the
fire that came out of His hand, which fire was the fire of The Ancient of Days
who did sit upon the Throne of eternity and who was one with Jesus. Jesus and
The Ancient of Days looked identical and as ONE PERSON upon the Throne set in
heaven. These who were thus ignited by the Lord were not only cleansed of The
Mystery of Iniquity, but they became ministers of the fire of God in the earth
to both consume and destroy all that is based in iniquity in the earth, none
exempt. Nothing in the earth was not in time enveloped in the fire that was
proceeding through the lives of the Overcomers who were ignited in this Holy
Fire to cleanse, restore and make new.
Beginning now
in the next section of our study on The Epistle Mysteries, this one being the
first one concerning The Mystery of Christ. In realizing the importance of this
study it became clear to me by revelation from the Holy Spirit that this
understanding of the true location of Jesus is for the most part one of the
greatest contributing factors to the confusion of our day. Because the Lord’s
people for the most part do not understand the true location of Jesus right now
at this present moment, the result has become catastrophic. The Apostle Paul
said in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 that there would be an abomination that makes
desolate standing in the Holy Place. An echo of words from both the Prophet
Daniel and Jesus Himself. In the Mystery of Christ, I hope to clear up that
confusion, give a true identity of heart to heart, your heart with the Heart of
the Shepherd, and also a simple acknowledgment of your own place in His overall
plan for the ages.
There are 9 Epistle Mysteries that can be easily
associated or blended with this study. The task is paramount to unveiling the
entire plan of God in one, but it is necessary that these studies be laid out
as the Holy Spirit would give directive. The true location of Jesus through the
study of The Mystery of Christ must be done separate in spite of the ability to
study these as a part of the whole. For an example, in the Mystery of God, that
full revelation of God can be summed up by seeing God in fullness with
unbounded measure in Jesus. “For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and
for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all
riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the
mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge”. Colossians 2:1-3 To separate the two is an almost impossible task,
but in this hour of the unveiling of His Kingdom the task is necessary to give
us a sure and a steadfast hope for His appearing, then coming unto those who
are called His brethren. There is another mystery which ties in very powerfully
with this one and it is called The Mystery of The Indwelling Christ. “Who now rejoice in
my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of
Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: Whereof I am made
a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you,
to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and
from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would
make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles;
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man,
and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in
Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which
worketh in me mightily.” Colossians 1:24-29 Again, that Mystery is one of the sore points in
the Body of God’s people today because of horrible ignorance. For most do not
recognize or know the spirit that speaks in the heart as being truly the Lord,
and once again we are submitted to having an abominable desolation in us rather
than the fullness of His love and grace by the Holy Spirit. It is in these
misunderstandings of the true location of Jesus that the point is made to
grieve the Holy Spirit in such a way that no restoration for thepresent becomes
possible. The one who holds Christ in an improper view ends up being part of
the judgment of God in general upon the nations and denominations of the earth
rather than being part of the Army of the Lord which at this time has His full
concentration.
The true voice
of victory and the ability to walk in the power of the Spirit has been dashed
upon the rocks of ignorance and unbelief in our day because of this misrepresentation
of Jesus. Because His visage remains marred more than any man’s, we have a
disruptive faith, a faith that holds no hope for the common masses. We have a
faith in Christian circles that is based on escapism and fear rather than the
triumphant establishment of His eternal Kingdom in the earth and throughout the
cosmos. Christianity has failed miserably at representing the power of His
resurrection because they have not understood THE TRUE LOCATION OF JESUS. For
the Overcomer these series of studies in The Mystery of Christ will be written,
all to prepare them to RULE over all the nations of the earth WITH A ROD OF
IRON. To dash as it were men’s perceptions and unbelief to pieces so that they
CAN believe and they CAN have a clear view of Jesus in His power and resurrection
glory. To you Dear Overcomer is this part of the study written, all so you can
know where Jesus is right now, and because you will know it, you will rejoice
with unspeakable joy at seeing Him in whom there is life and in whom death has
been completely vanquished.
The first fact
to realize is coupled with the second fact which will soon be actualized. And
that is that to see Jesus is to see God, and it is JESUS who is coming again,
NOT TO ESCAPE US FROM THE EARTH, BUT TO REMOVE DEATH FROM US. We see Jesus in
the history, now we see Him in the mystery. That this very same Jesus was the
fullness of the Godhead bodily, that there was nothing in His person that was
not God. Away with doctrines about possible shortcomings that He had. He was
the SINLESS SON. The first son of God WITH NO GUILE. The first son of God WHO
DISPLAYED THE FULLNESS OF GOD IN HIS BODY. That display came in two parts.
First, God was seen in Him unbounded and without any measure working miracles
and the power of resurrection life while Jesus did His earthly ministry.
Secondly, God is seen in Jesus unbounded and without any measure IN HIS BODY
RAISED FROM THE DEAD. And this entire process of God being seen IN THE NEW BODY
RAISED FROM THE DEAD is about to be repeated first in history, then in the
mystery. It is going to be repeated IN THE COMPANY OF OVERCOMERS. Make no
mistake about it. The company of Overcomers will receive new bodies which the
Lord will fashion like His body raised out of the tomb. As Jesus was raised, so
too will YOU be raised. This is part of the workings of this hour, that He will
raise from the dead those who have been lying dormant, those who have fallen
into the ditch, who have come to the place of having no hope or life in this
present world. These are the Overcomers. It may be that person over there who
is destitute or naked. It may be this person here who is high in business and
in wealth. It matters not, these people who will be raised as He was raised are
people OF A HOLY CALLING. And it is the calling that has separated them, even
if they are ‘busy’ in this world, from all others. It is a calling to not only
bear the marks of the cross as Jesus bore them, but to also bear the crown of
the Overcomer as Jesus bears it. Progressively this is happening and we are
near the place of awaking in His very likeness. The 1st resurrection
is the next order of business in the counsel of The Mystery of Christ.
There is in the
company of those who are part of sonship circles a great deception taking
place. And that deception is very simple to see if one is not deceived by it,
but hard to see if one is. The deception is this: “I AM CHRIST”. The thought is
taken from scriptures, but twisted by spiritual pride and the ability the
carnal mind has to mask itself in religious effort. The word of God says we are
bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. The carnal mind took it one step
further and said we are “Christ of His Christ”. In other words the carnal mind,
lifting itself up in pride, acknowledged who it is as a part of the Body of
Christ, and because it is a part of the body of Christ, then it must BE Christ.
This very subtle deception is part and parcel of the abomination making
desolate standing in the Holy Place. It is in fact that sure sign of His
coming. For sonship people have begun to worship the Christ standing in the
Holy Place when it is not Christ at all. But that one that imitates the true,
the one who masks itself as Christ, but is not the Christ. It is the false
feast of dedication, the false feast of purity, that part which says it is of
the church when in fact the church is not part of it. If you see this Christ
and are convinced of it, then you
have been deceived by it. Jesus in this equation was somehow moved out of the
history, out of the mystery and into your delusion. And because the true Jesus
cannot be in delusion, then it must be a false delusion indeed. In sonship
circles we have a worship of Jesus happening and it is not Jesus at all, but
this one who stands as an abomination, a false Jesus causing many to fall away
and not be counted right due to ignorance.
The ability to
overcome this false Jesus is very simple. Simply see where Jesus is located,
right now, and by faith. I must digress a bit here. I plan to show you Jesus in
The Mystery of The Indwelling Christ, but not before we see Him as THE CHRIST
OF GOD. For Christ cannot dwell in your hearts by faith if it were not for the
fact that God set Him at His own right hand. And THAT PLACE, at the very RIGHT
HAND OF GOD, IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE JESUS IS. He is exalted above all other
things, given a name above every name and He is there expecting until His
enemies are made His footstool, the last enemy being death itself. (Vision)
“I beheld Jesus standing at the right hand of God. He remained there,
but at the same time by His glorified body He was able to appear and move
through the whole of creation at will. He could appear and move wherever He
wanted at any time, however He remained regardless of this ability at the right
hand of God, even while He moved through all of creation.”(End Vision) How
vitally important to overcoming this is. That we recognize that Jesus is in
Heaven at the right hand of God. He is not US. We are not THE CHRIST. He alone
is CHRIST. He alone has been given this name above every name. There is nothing
about Him that we are except in that identity which is still in development in
us.
The deception
of our day is the crass statement that it is all done. That there is nothing in
us that is outside of us. That He which was exalted by God is somehow US in His
stead. Before you think you don’t believe this way, examine your heart and ask
yourself if you are lifting your hands in worship to Him alone in that true
location of where He is. For Jesus is the ONLY ONE at the right hand of God, NO
ONE ELSE IS THERE. And no one will be there UNTIL the reward is given to those
who overcame. And it is THERE IN HEAVEN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THAT JESUS
WILL REMAIN UNTIL THE VERY POINT OF THE FIRST RESURRECTION. Only then will we
see Him IN US. Again, the deception of this hour is stating who we are as
Christ when Christ alone still holds that title.
May we in our
continuing closet of prayer hold Him in the highest place and ourselves in the
lowest place. In my doctrine I believe that those who are invited to be part of
the Army of the Lord and who partake in the 1st resurrection are
those who took the lowest seat. The humblest of places, which served rather
than ruled. Who became nothing that He might remain everything. Those who did
not count their lives dear unto themselves but gave themselves up for His life
instead. Who did not condemn mankind but spoke words of comfort and exhortation
and love because they knew that Christ would restore all things. These are the
Overcomers. Those who are most like Jesus was. Who displayed the image of God
but did not try to BE God. These are the ones in whom The Mystery of Christ
will first be understood and shown and given as a great and mighty resurrection
for all the rest of creation.
