Isa 35:8
A highway will be there, a roadway,
And it will be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean will not travel on it,
But it will be for the one who walks that way,
And fools will not wander on it.
As we become acclimated to ministry in motion, we begin to see the frameworks of God’s Kingdom that are present in the Word of God. We never see or discern the greater order of God’s Kingdom that is present in scripture until we have walked this out through Holy Spirit led ministry with Christ as the head of His church. This team formation is most often known as Apostolic Team Ministry. Much like water exists in three states as ice, liquid water, and water vapor, Apostolic Team Ministry can likewise exist in three states of being. With each part intricately interconnected to what it should be joined with to make a greater whole.
From the years that I have pioneered paths, to develop the Watcher/Watchman ministry, the framework of the Three Persons of 1 John came forth. The framework itself being that of the children, young men, and fathers/Elders, with mature Elders being those who can teach others. What produces and manifests Koinonea fellowship in Christ through such a body leads us further to the Father from our ascent from within the Son.
What We Guard Against in the Lord’s Ascension
The darkness spoken of in 1 John largely refers to “darkened eyesight, or blindness” as a state of being. When we do not understand how to stand in faith as those who are faithful, the instability that will follow in the next part of building will lack faith and will not accomplish what God desires. Instead, of the faith that will undergird the faith of others, the void that becomes present will allow spiritual drunkenness to cause greater deception. The greater darkness that occurs then becomes a vacuum that is difficult for people to navigate.
Pro 20:1
Wine is a mocker, intoxicating drink a brawler,
And whoever is intoxicated by it is not wise.
We do not want to attempt to build on what produces twins in the likeness of self, which measures itself by self. For this manner of building, God leads us on what is made known of the High Way that he makes known to us as the Highway of Holiness in IS 35:8.
This knowledge and understanding that we gain of Gates and Gatekeeping is an ongoing part of our process on the path that we live. When the path narrows, we become convicted of the gates that nothing but spirit life can pass through. We need to understand how to discern when we are before our gates so that we do not burst through any resistance in the authority of a gift, as opposed to being emptied of self to allow the virtue of Christ to fill the gift9s) that we're carrying. We carry his nature from and within our metron(s), or stature that we’re called to rise in and occupy from.
God’s Threes
Although child-likeness is required to stand in faith in times and places to wait (weight) for God to manifest His promises, childishness is a snare. Where children rise from disciples to sons as young men and women who have overcome the evil one, those who rise in pride will fall in the snares of the evil one.
From the beginning, where God created heaven and earth, to this day, the earth still mirrors what the heavens speak of. Speaking of highways and roadways, we can consider how Interstates connect and involve other states. They are a highway connecting two or more states. When we gather in a manner to know the fellowship of Christ as 1 John speaks of, we can expect that he will manifest himself from the very standard that we are being prepared to carry and rise in. The presence of Koinonea prepares us to expect a mutual exchange with others in the participation of Koinonea. This is a known flow of ministry through that of Koinonea.
The Fear of the Lord
God woos us with his manifest presence. He leads us on paths of righteousness to build us further by the spirit. The day that I began to discover the fear of the Lord was the day that I greatly longed to suddenly become water so I could get as flat as possible in my posture before God. Much of what I thought mattered at the time really did not matter at all. Much like Paul considered what he had learned to be liabilities, compared to the greater value of knowing Christ, he came to consider what he had previously known as dung.
With that being said, we can consider that what matters to God begins first with his Creation. Matter, as being defined for this reason, is defined as anything that occupies space and has mass. As sons, we are prepared how to occupy spiritual ground until the Lord comes, or manifest himself, through a standard, metron, or body in our present progression. I’m not making reference to what is understood to many as “the second coming of Christ”. I’m speaking purely of equipping the Body of Christ according to Eph 4.
Water is very significant because it can exist in all three states of matter. From a solid, it exists as ice, then as liquid, and again as vapor, or as gas. It is the same with spirit life. Truthfully, you cannot discern the spirit that occupies a thing without remaining in the spirit - as those who are seated with Christ as sons of God in the heavenlies.
There are times that we truly do not grasp spiritual precepts until we learn to apply them first to a practical path of lifestyle and living from how we’re being led to intercede on behalf of the land.
Amps and Volts
Now, to address a matter that is of utmost importance in the times that we’re in. As sons, we rise to a place of authority, even Holy Spirit power to demonstrate the Kingdom of God on earth. This is never for our entertainment. It is purely for the purpose of ministering to Creation, which is groaning for the manifest sons of God.
Highways can get bottlenecked where spiritual flow increases without a Kingdom understanding of how spiritual authority is to be appropriated from the standards that we are co-laboring with others to raise. Kingdom ministry is always purposed to bring healing to the land.
To better understand order and protocol, it helps to understand the design that God first created through. Principles of spiritual authority can be seen in the engineering of electrical power. Regarding the units of measure of both amps and volts (of power), we can “think of amps like the volume of water flowing through a pipe, and volts like the water pressure. Increasing the voltage increases the amount of current that flows through an appliance, similar to increasing the water pressure in a pipe.”
From what we release into the earth as Gatekeepers, we do NOT want the floodgates fully opened until there is a standard of corporate sonship raised in the earth to receive what God is pouring out.
This is the purpose for the Highway of Holiness which speaks of what God is moving us forward in. Of such, there are high places that serve to raise low places. There is also bridge building to repair breaches. During these times, pathfinders and pioneers will also be cultivating fields and engineering services that God will give counsel for. God is leading us to be able to tap into his creativity so that we can build and design in the natural what is needed in these troubled times. May we all faithfully build with great care what is to be laid upon the foundations of Christ!
