THREE COMPANIES OF BELIEVERS
7/04/23: THREE COMPANIES OF BELIEVERS
For many years the Lord showed me His three companies as groups of people who are growing up into Jesus image and maturing. In one of the visions I saw the mountain of the Lord in Psalm 24 where a generation is seeking His face so the porthole in the vanishing point would remain open for the King of glory to come in. On the mountain I saw all these cars with headlights piercing the darkness. The bottom 3rd of the mt was packed with bumper to bumper cars. The next 3rd were fewer headlights and at the top were very few cars and headlights and it was quite dim. They were all working their way up the mountain of the Lord.
Psalm 24:3-10 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. Selah. 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
The process of these three companies is depicted in many ways. Each one of three stages in Christian maturity does not come from human endeavor alone. It comes from the Spirit of the Lord drawing people to reach higher, desiring more of Him that results in going through the metamorphosis of growing into the fullness of Christ. Our goal is to become like Jesus and with that transformation comes much glory.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
I prepared the following table to show the columns being descriptions of the 3 companies in progressing levels of maturity in their relationship with the Lord. Throughout the years He has been growing us up as we experienced the various aspects of these stages in our relationship with Lord. This is a simple table, but the depth behind such takes a lifetime of experience. Each stage is Christ knocking on the hearts of His people, drawing them to chase after Him and climb higher in intimacy.
Not everyone will make it to full maturity while on earth. Many are called but few are chosen. Our willingness has a part to play in how far we grow up in Christ. Paradise is full of those who will continue growing upwards into more of God.
CONFIRMATION 7/05/23 – I AM BRINGING YOU INTO THE FULLNESS
Tonight I turned in Anna’s Bible to a sticky note I had written on 7/13/22, one year ago:
STICKY NOTE: He reveals the deep and secret things. Sudden events. Great intercession. We cry in our affliction. Be patient and perfect into the fullness. Word of God is a defensive weapon. Stand and see the salvation of God. Spiritual growth. Fulfillment. Because you are tender and humbled before Him, He had heard you. Strengthened and renewed. Heard: Fullness, I am bringing you into the fullness.
7/13/22 PLANTING FOR THE NEXT YEAR BEGINS IN ONE MONTH
Yesterday while standing at the sink I heard the Lord say, I am bringing you into the fullness.
I saw that I was waiting for something. Then I saw a bunch of people in a line coming towards me. I saw they had been on a long journey and they appeared rugged and tired. But their countenances were quite happy to be so close to “home.” They all had farming tools in their hands. Leading them was a boy with his dog. The boy had a shovel on his shoulder carrying it like a rifle. He was going to plant seed.
WORD TO PONDER: YOUR GROWTH IN THREE LEVELS OF MATURITY 7/04/23
Dear ones I have been raising you up into maturity. When you love Me, everything in your life is filtered for good so that you will work out your salvation in fear and trembling. From children, to youth to full maturity, your journey is so precious to Me as you cling to Me for help along your way. I am forming you into the image of My dear Son, Jesus Christ. I delight in every stage precious ones. As you diligently seek Me I will reward you.
Little children, as you accept My Son into your life, you are born again like a babe. Having planted My God seed into your life, your spirit man grows and grows and grows. As you follow Me, you grow through the milk of My Word while your faith grows in understanding My righteousness and grace thus helping you put your flesh down to stop sinning. You learn of My celebrating love for you, never condemning, always bending low in mercy and encouraging you to get up and keep trying. You learn repentance, obedience, washing of My Word and putting away carnal thinking.
As you grow up through the youth stage in the image of My Son, you learn about following your conscience which is your growing spirit man that is deep inside. You discover the many ways I speak to you and you walk in peace without torment as you follow your conscience. You discover the joys of partnering with Me to serve others with your talents and gifts. I teach you about faithfulness, endurance and the fruits and gifts of My Spirit as you overcome obstacles against your pursuits. You grow up in fellowship with Me and with other believers as you share with one another about My Word. You understand more about your soulish realm of what you think, how you feel and how your choices either please or do not please Me. In your pursuit to follow Me, you go through death to self where My Spirit candles your heart so that what does not line up with My image is put away.
Finally in your adult years you grow into full maturity of what you think and feel, which results in making the best choices that fully please Me. You experience the joys of intimate fellowship with Me. As My friend you learn My secrets where revelation and knowledge abound. I teach you about My kingdom and how heaven operates. You grow in authority to rule over not only your own spirit but help usher My kingdom to earth. You experience the joy and passion of My life in you, the hope of glory. Your perspectives are My perspectives because you have the mind of Christ. Fully transformed, you have grown up to experience My kingdom life within you.
1 John 2:12-14 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. 13 I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because you have known the Father. 14 I have written unto you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
