     Jesus prayed for us to become one with him just as he and the Father are one. We need one another, looking at the sealing of the saints in the light of the breast plate of the high priest and the names written on the breast plate which covers the heart, we will now look at Gad. Gad was one of the 12 tribes of Israel, Gad means "A Troop" Right of the bat the name Gad gives us a sense of discipline because soldiers are trained and made ready to take their places and position to fight when given an order by the General.

     The Lord wants us to come to the realization of the need for the Body of Christ. Daniel saw a people who would be strong and do exploits, Jeremiah saw a people who would become God's battle axe and weapons of war that would break in pieces the nations and tear down Babylon. Isaiah saw deliverers rising out of mount Zion, we are soldiers in the army of the Lord, Paul said "having done all to stand, stand therefore having your loins gird about with truth and to put on the shield of faith and the armor of righteousness. Put on therefore the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand in the evil day, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness, spiritual wickedness in high places. It can become very dangerous to be in a war and alongside and on the back of you, your comrades are not competent or trained to fight, God do not need any rebels in his army, he is building a troop, training them how to become disciplined, training them how to use their weapons and how to stand when the enemy approaches.

     God is training a troop how to stand in the gap, God is training a troop to become patriots of the Kingdom, no man left behind as a casualty of war, this troop will only act at the command of their commander in chief, this troop is being trained to fight a good fight of faith and to reach their objectives. As a part of this great army of God we carry a very distinctive mark which sets us aside and makes us recognizable by the seal that we carry with us, faith being a seal upon us, compassion being a seal upon us, kindness, truth, holiness, mercy, love, hope, etc.
     These seals have been placed upon us by the Holy Ghost for the perfecting of the saints, for the edifying of the Body of Christ. We are sealed as a troop and are destined to stand in the front lines of the battle of faith, God is today sealing us with the mind of Christ, he said, "as many as receive him gave he power to become sons of God" Not my will but yours, Loosing our own ambitions, Laying down our cross for the sake of him.

     We will now venture into the Joy of the Lord. One of the names written on the breastplate was Asher which means joy, happiness or gladness. The Bible clearly declares that the joy of the Lord is my strength. When we loose our joy we loose our strength. We have been told too many a times "don’t let the devil steal your joy" the scripture says that the Kingdom of heaven is not come in meat and drink but righteousness, peace and joy in the holy ghost. The bible says that the blessings of the Lord maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. We can only experience the joy of the Lord with the Lord and from the Lord.

     We were not given the spirit of fear again unto bondage but of love and power and of a sound mind. Jesus when he walked on the earth expressed such a joy, he celebrated such happiness that it became contagious, it was almost like a plague of hope, joy and happiness if I could express it that way. There was a woman at Jacob's well who was about to draw water from it. Jacob is the man who had a name change; his name was changed to Israel. Jacob here was significant of the old name; the old Adamic nature while Israel was significant of the new man, the one who had a name change, our names speaks of our nature and personality. So we are in the process of having our name changed, our old Adamic nature being changed into the nature of Christ, becoming a source of joy, an extension of Jesus who is Joy himself. So Jesus made his way to the well, sat on the well and asked the woman for a drink. Jesus sitting on the well typifies him putting a lid on the old Adamic nature, bringing an end to all flesh, which is carnal and resurrecting a new man who is now drinking out of a living well which is Jesus, creating rivers of living water.

     He asked her for a drink and she said to him "sir I do not have any bucket to draw with and the well is deep, how can I draw this water to give you" furthermore the Jews and the Samaritans have nothing to do with each other, why are you even talking with me.

     He said to her "go bring your husband" she said "I have no husband" he said to her "you are right to say that you have no husband, you have had 5 before now and the one that you presently have does not belong to you" she was astonished at his word. After drinking from that living spring she became full of joy so Jesus to her to hold her peace and not to tell anyone about this for she perceived him to be sent from God. She could not contain such joy, she ran through the city proclaiming, "come see a man"

     Joy have a way of moving to the top, it almost like trying to mix water with oil, the oil here representing joy and gladness, it always rise to the top. The 6th husband speaks of man and his rebellious state, the woman speaks of the church that has become satisfied with man in his own abilities and strength, here comes the Jesus, the 7th man, the perfect husband, the one who does not need to get a name or nature change, he has carried the same name from eternity "savior of the world" The number 7 in the bible speaks of perfection, and Jesus was indeed that perfect one. What a joy to find joy (Jesus) when you get connected to the source you become an extension of that source.

      Talking about the sealing. We have come to realize that God is working a work in us to bring us unto perfection. Yes he is coming back, I believe that he is coming back physically and also coming in a people and for a people. How do you think our Father felt when our brother (the prodigal) left home with his birthright possession. I believe that our Father was heartbroken, it really took a toll on him, he cried heavy tears because of the love in his heart. But here’s what, our Father is all wise and all knowing and he was in the beginning because he made the beginning. I like to say it the way my friend and Pastor says it "He started start" you see, God is unique and there can be no other like him, everything that exist today, everything that ever existed and everything that will ever exist was made by God, for he is in all and above all. He is the true source, in him there is life because all life comes from him.
      God is in heaven, the place or realm that we cannot see with our physical eyes, God is here on earth in the spirit realm so cannot see God because a spirit does not possess flesh and bones. God is also in us, living breathing walking singing laughing in us. He is seeing through our eyes (or is he) he is listening with our ears; he is speaking with our voice. He is touching with our hands and walking with our feet. All of the above is true because he said that our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit and we belong to God. Are we acting and behaving like we belong to God? Are we acting and behaving like we belong to the royal family? When we walk down the street, is there a standard of Godlike behavior? Are we representing the King in our walk and talk, are we teaching people the principles of our King and the laws of his kingdom or are we teaching the people another law and another doctrine. Here is the thing, we all belong to the King regardless of what we believe or teach. But if we teach another faith or another doctrine it will not get us any closer to God just because we want to be right.
     This is not a democracy; there is only one God, one faith, one doctrine, and one Lord of all. We do not vote as to which god we want to serve, there is only one God and if we do not serve Him and Him only then we are in rebellion, rebellion against God. A rebellion against the Kingdom of God is sure death. Rebellion and disobedience is sin and sin is sure death. There is no person that is above any other people; we are all equal in the sight of God. He said in Romans that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, we were all condemned to die and bound for eternal darkness but the light of the world came (Jesus) and shone in our hearts and the light has sealed itself upon our hearts leaving a fire that is getting brighter and brighter, we have now become the children of the light, that light is God. A reflection of light cast a shadow and we have seen many shadows of the true figure but when mid day comes, then all will be in the full light of the day.   
       No more types and shadows of the things to come but a true image of Him who is in the light. Let's say it another way, at high noon when the sun (Son) is come in all his glory all the darkness will be gone and that is not by choice. See this, the day star is quickening us, he is arising in us, we have tasted of that light but here's what. At the rising of the sun there is an abundance of revelation, we see things that was once covered in darkness from the night. Though the light is necessary we sometimes need to be protected from it. Often times God sends a rain cloud or two to cover us, Paul calls it a thorn in the flesh, something that was used to buffer him, protect him. Exposure to the sun (Son) will seal upon us an imprint of its rays of heat. We all want more, we all want to see, and we are a curious people, the more we want of God means that it will require more exposure to the Son. Exposure to the Son will cut and burn. Say it this way, all that can be shaken will be shaken. There are those of us who have become comfortable and content to feed off the shadows of the light and do not want to step out into the sun because we are afraid of losing our complexion, if we get out into the sun we wear a sun screen or use an umbrella to cover us. These physical things is what we do in the spirit, we go to God with preconceived ideas and we read the Word with preconceived thoughts so we can find scriptures to back up our doctrines of sin.
     We need to lose it all, when we come before God we need to leave all teachings, thoughts and ideas behind and ask of him to expose us to the Son. I am convinced that God do not have any favorites, we are all sons in his sight, none is preferred above the other, the Ministers are not viewed to be more important or in a better standing or will receive a greater prize because he won more souls, we are all sons, be blessed, stand strong, get exposed to more of Jesus so that you can be sealed.

     According to what we have experienced so far, it all points to us taking on the nature of the King.
The name of Jacob's second son was Simeon. Which means "a hearkening"
There is a company of sons who is hearing and obeying the voice of God.
     There is a company of sons who is able to hear the voice of God in the middle of this famine, in the middle of the chaos of all the other trumpets that's blowing messages of an uncertain sound, and there is still a remnant according to the election of grace. There is still a remnant that can hear and obey and who is not bowing to the image of Baal.
     There is a company of sons who is quick and eager to hearken to the voice of the Father.
These sons are the ones who is causing the Father to say "this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased"
The mark of a true son is one who is willing to lose his or her own ambitions and to take up the ambitions of the King becoming the King's cup bearer. Coming to a place where we can say " not my will but thine"

     There is still a people whose heart is after the King and is still hearing the still small voice and will not join in the crowd or the pack of believers who is satisfied with the status quo. There is a company of sons whose righteous spirits is becoming vexed as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah because of the gross sin and contentment with sin.
     We cannot serve 2 masters, we will love the one and hate the other, and we will prefer the one that is favorable for the moment. The hearkening sons are not just a people who is hearing but a people who is allowing faith to arise by hearing and hearing the Word. Because they have attentive ears to the voice of God they are being changed.

      There is a sound of a mighty river coming down; it’s being poured out on a people that are hungry and thirsty for him. The trumpet of God is sounding and we must give ear to the sound of this trumpet which is calling us to arm ourselves, God is getting is ready to stand against the wiles of the devil.

     When the trumpet sounds which sends out a sound for the saints to gather themselves there should be a crowd but there be many who have loose ends to tie up so they say "let me burry my dead first" let me live it up for a few more days or years. But when death comes how will it find us? We have been called to God and we came and there are many of us stuck in the outer court. Some of us have moved on from the outer court unto the holy place and are stuck at Pentecost. But God is still speaking and there is a higher calling and we have need to press toward the holy of holies behind the veil. The King of Glory is sitting in the upper room waiting for us to get there. We get caught up with the events, activities and programs of the outer court and has become so attached to the titles, doctrines and money that we are afraid to lose our stature so we set our anchors down and refuses to move.

     We have convinced ourselves that we have it all and know it all. We have become self sufficient and do not need God. when the trumpet blows and the message says that we need to journey from the outer court to the holy place which is Pentecost, the place where we get in filled with the Holy Ghost, the second heaven, 30 fold to 60 fold, measure to stature, the baptism of the Holy Ghost. We say we do not need it, we do not hear that. Well it’s very easy to become at ease in Zion. Maybe it’s because our conscience needs to wake up, maybe it has fallen asleep or even lukewarm. And to those of us who have moved on to Pentecost, God is blowing a trumpet which is saying to us "to him that have ears to hear what the spirit sayeth to the church, let him hear, let him hearken.
     The message to those of us who have set our anchors down at Pentecost is to arm ourselves with the whole armor of God because we will need to fight against principalities and powers of the darkness. We have not yet arrived. I will address the King behind the veil waiting for us in another message. Obedience to God and his Word. God first. Seek him, trust him, hear him, he is just and able to take you places and even change your circumstances.

     Paul said "therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; Old things are passed away and behold all things are become new. The cutting away of the flesh represents circumcision. Our name represents our nature, personality, traits and characterizes.
     The name Jesus means savior. The bible says that they shall call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins. On the breast plate of the high priest was engraved the 12 names of the 12 tribes of Israel which all had significant meaning. We will look at Reuben, one of the tribe whose name was sealed on the breast plate of the high priest.
     The name Reuben means "behold a son" See God has brought us unto himself and placed us in a whole new bracket of humanity. He said " as many as received him gave he power to become sons" We were at one time strangers and aliens but now he said in Corinthians "we are no more strangers and aliens to the commonwealth of God but we are heirs and joint heirs with Christ" We are now in a different bracket, at one time we were like dogs because we came from the gentile generation and had no hope or part in the Kingdom of God.
     Because he loved us and gave hi life for us and has called us unto himself we are now his own. Bought with a price, Jesus carries upon his person a receipt printed with the ink of his own blood, and our names are now written on the papyrus of his heart.
     Reuben means behold a son, this speaks of and represents our relationship to God. Jesus taught his disciples to pray saying "our Father" The scripture says in Romans that we cry abba Father which means "our own Father" our source and provider, our originator, our beginning. The scripture says "though we be sons we differ nothing from a servant until we grow up and come to maturity" this is another message and will be taught on later.
     There is a relationship of Father and son that can never be realized as a servant. This is the reason of the new birth, we must be born in the house and of the house of the King for us to become an heir. Hear me saints, know ye not that ye were passed from death unto life. Jesus told Nicodemas "ye must be born again" There is a purpose of the new birth, that purpose is to have a direct link the Father, it is the only way we can get into the kingdom of the King and have the right as a son of the King. As a son of the King we take precedence above all else. We carry the dna of our Father God and there is no paternity test that can discredit us.
     Behold a son, the name Reuben implies us as sons growing up to maturity and full stature.
The prodigal son realizing that without a relationship with the Father he has nothing and will be nothing. The prodigal leaving home speaks of man in his own strength and ability failing on his own. Powerless and defeated but after he reconnects with the Father he receives a new robe and eat of the fat and a ring on his finger. So much truth here, this will be written in another message. Connecting with the Father, having a relationship with God.

     We talked about the sealing or cutting away of the flesh, when this act takes place it creates an imprint on the flesh, a permanent mark. Its a permanent mark of ownership.
    
     When we go through the herd of humanity and get mixed up in the crowd of the wheat and the chaff, God will send an east wind to blow the chaff away and the wheat will remain.
I came from a large family in the Island of Trinidad. When I was about the age 9, I used to go with my parents to the lagoon, we did a bit of rice farming. After we went through the process of planting and reaping, we had to take the rice through a sifting process. We had to cut the heads off which carried the rice grains and full it all in one big brown bag.

     When we got home with it we would have to tie the mouth of the bag to keep everything inside the bag. We had to make sure that none escaped; we kept the chaff and the rice together. We would then have to lay the bag on the ground and beat it with a piece of wood. This beating is what it took to separate the grains from the chaff. We would beat it for a while and open the bag and empty to bag of the grains that got loose from the chaff. We would then have to keep the rest of the grains that did not break free from the chaff in the same bag and repeat the same process until it all got loose. After we got all the grains loose from the chaff we would then take it to the mill where it had to go through another process of de-husking. This final process got rid of most of the husky chaff but when we took that home we had to put it through the final sifting process. We had a piece of tool called a sifter.
     We would have to take up a bit at a time in the sifter and throw it up in the air, the grains would fall right back into the sifter and the wind would take the chaffy husks away. I believe that we are in a process and God is taking us through the process of separation for the purpose of maturity. We are all in the same bag that is being beaten for the purpose of getting to the fruit. God is placing his seal on us and there is a cutting away of the flesh which is making us very uncomfortable. All that can be shaken will be shaken; there is first a gathering in where we all come to God. There is a process of sealing, which is beating the bag. This process is creating an imprint of the mind of Christ. After the first beating a first fruit comes forth, and then those that did not get separated from the chaff.

     See the husbandman is come to his garden and he is gathering in the harvest. The owner of the ox is searching for the ox that is mixed in with the rest of the herd of humanity and the only way he will be able to distinguish his oxen’s will be by the branding which was placed on them. Here's how it is, the King has sent out a decree sealed by his own hand with his own blood. He said that as many as would come, to them gave he power to become sons of God. His decree was sent to all nations of the world. His decree says that this is the acceptable year of the Lord, his decree says the before the foundations of the world began that we were predestinated to be conformed to the image of God. His decree says that there is enough room at the inn, he said that he is able to do exceedingly abundant above all that we ask think or imagine, his decree sais that no weapon that is formed against me shall prosper. His decree says that I was beautifully and wonderfully
made, his decree says that thou my sins be as scarlet they shall become as wool and if I come to him and accept his invitation he will blot out all my transgressions and iniquities and will remember them no more.

     See that the runner who is carrying the decree for the King is also a servant of the King who has experienced jubilee with the King and has been set free and all that he had lost was restored unto him and all his debt was erased. Because of him all his family and properties and oxen and possession was restored to him. The runner himself was sealed by the King to carry the decree saying that God is sealing the Ark. Sealing the Ark is another message. God is sealing us with his Word through the spirit, we need to get into the Word and allow God to set his seal upon our forehead. (Another message) We are bought with a price and Jesus holds the receipt in his hand. No more negotiations. It’s a done deal. Many blessings to you.

The Sealing of the Saints [PART 1]

8/21

     In Exodus 28 God gave specific instructions to Moses as to how to make the breast plate which the high priest must wear entering in to the holiest of holies. Some of the colors listed was gold, blue, scarlet, and fine twined lined. These all represented and speaks of the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ. In verse 29 we read where Aaron had the names of the 12 tribes of Israel engraved on the breast plate of judgment which covered his heart for a memorial as he went in before the Lord. The word engraving of a signet or seal came from the same Hebrew word "chowtham" which means to cut away. In the book of the songs of Solomon verse 6 of chapter 8 said "set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a signet upon thine arm". In other words, he is saying that he wants to write his Word upon the fleshly tables of our hearts. Matt 15:9 for out of the heart proceedeth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies, When the heart is sealed the works of the flesh is cut off.

     Gal 5:19-21 Rom 4:11 There is a cutting away taking place. Abraham got wind of this truth and decided to engrave and seal himself into the kingdom of God, can you imagine using a rock half sharp, he did not have to knives and technology of today, and many of the generations before us used a rock. There is a sealing of the heart which is required to enter into the kingdom of God and it will cost us something. In the book of Colossians he tells us that we have need to put off the old Adamic nature, put off hate, backbiting, the works of the flesh and put on Christ. In order for us to put on Christ we will have need to get an engraving or sealing done, there must be a permanent cutting away of the flesh. It would take the very nature of God to cover our hearts so that we may be able to enter the most holy of holies and live forever in his presence.

     Once we have put on the breastplate which covers our hearts, once we have put on Christ, as one who has been called to be an high priest, we may be able to enter into the most holy of holies and offer sacrifice unto God for our brethren and ourselves. Se the principle of the many sons that God is calling to glory, the sons who are pressing toward the mark, (sealing) for the prize (God) of the high priest (high calling) Paul said that we ought to press,

     Not everyone is pressing, sealing requires pressing, sealing creates an imprint or a mark, let me tell you, Jesus went through a sealing for us. it is the custom that a king carries on his person a signet ring, when an order is given and must be transmitted to another by the king, the king would take out the signet which is usually on his finger and pour some wax on the paper and press the ring on it to create an imprint of his approval and authority.

     In Jesus case he used his own blood to create an imprint on our hearts that authorizes us to enter into the kingdom and to do business in his name. That will be expounded on in part 2.

Bless the Lord I am excited about what he is doing and the revealing of his Word.
