We are entering the greatest awakening. There have been many revival type awakenings. That which is coming forth in this season is not exactly a great revival awakening. It is not just a theological awakening, and it’s beyond an awakening to the Holy Spirit.
It is the greatest awakening because it is the awakening of the pure-hearted, Spirit-led people of God to the reality of the KINGDOM Of GOD from Heaven being formed on earth. God’s kingdom is now coming forth by the Spirit of God forming Christ in His people to rule and reign on earth. (Gal 4:19) (Rom 8:9-11, 14-17).
The end goal and result is the full establishment of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. This is now and has always been the Master Plan of God.
God’s Master Plan is His overall designed arrangement and operational system for ALL things. There are many sub plans or parts that all have a part in bringing forth the full complete Master Plan for Planet Earth.
Human beings and all living things have some part in the incubation and maturation of the Master Plan of God, which is the kingdom of heaven ruling and reigning on earth by Christ Jesus Messiah in and through redeemed mankind, the now maturing Sons of God. (Rev 1:6, 5:10) (Gen1:26-28) (Col 1:27) (Luke 11:2).
Two Thousand Years of Gestation and Incubation
God planted the seed of the kingdom two millennia ago. Christ Jesus became the seed of the kingdom and planted the word (seed) of the kingdom into the world. (Mat 4:17). The seed has been quietly forming in the womb of the earth ever since. The womb of the earth is the hearts of mankind, the Bride church, the New Jerusalem mother from above. (Rev 21:2, 9-10). Gal 4:26 “But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.”
The created parts have been forming inside the “egg shell” of the world’s natural created existence. The spiritual cells of formless matter have been growing into the reality of the kingdom of God on earth in a people by the seed of the kingdom word in Christ Jesus. (Mat 13:18-23).
The Master Plan of the kingdom has been progressively coming forth part by part over the past two millennia providing the foundation and substructure for the fully formed kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
As each of the parts came forth, they were usually assumed by the people to be the main or master plan of God. However, each part is only a piece of the overall Master Plan of God. Some of the parts that have come forth are permanent parts of the master plan; others are temporary like scaffolding and will come down as the structure becomes more complete.
Malformations Will Fade Away
Some erroneous doctrines and systems were developed by man around some of the parts. They were devised because the revealed parts were erroneously assumed to be the main and final part of God. Some of the erroneous doctrines became traditions mixed with the real truth of the part that had been revealed. These assumptions came about simply because the next portions had not yet been seen at the time. When each new part was revealed and seen by some of God’s people, the erroneous parts of the past traditional doctrines had to eventually come down and be replaced with truth. This revealing and refining process continues today as more revelation of God and His kingdom is uncovered by God and released into the hearts of God’s people.
Hearing the greater Word of the kingdom Master Plan of God in this season is both removing erroneous parts and bringing together all of the previously revealed true parts or subplots into the one glorious reality of the Master’s Plan of the Kingdom of God.
A Building Not Made With Hands
The kingdom of God on earth is like a building formed of living beings in a natural world by Spirit God.
This work of God is like a building of people, “living stones” prepared to manifest the life and governing structure of King Jesus into His chosen people in this world to rule and reign with Christ by the Holy Spirit of God within His people. Each stone is fit together perfectly to form the whole as one Body.
Ephesians 2: 19-20: “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”
1 Corinthians 3: 16-17: “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.”
ONLY THE ONE TRUE KING CAN LEGALLY REIGN IN A KINGDOM.
Christ on earth in a people is a SPIRIT MYSTERY of the One True King ruling in the kingdom of God on earth.
The kingdom of heaven on earth is the ONE HEAD, Christ Jesus, ruling in His ONE BODY of many members connected and functioning in perfect unity with the Head, ruling and reigning on earth. (Rom 12:3-5) (1Cor 12).
When the walls of the new building are built up and in place, then the scaffolding and the erroneous doctrines and divisions are no longer useful and must come down. All religious systems consist of rituals and traditions. Many were types and shadows as seeds of truth within shells of natural works that all looked forward to the real fruition of the Kingdom of God on earth through Christ Jesus Messiah in His people.
Religious systems that remain past their useful time become hindrances that, like scaffolding, hide the reality of the glory of the building. They were used to help build by serving as a temporary structure for the workers laying the stones in place and were never really a permanent part of the building.
The transition to the Kingdom of Heaven reality replacing the religious systems is like a death experience to religious people who have not yet received the New Wine of the Holy Spirit revelation of the reality of the kingdom that is now coming forth on earth. The same kingdom that Jesus and His disciples proclaimed and demonstrated in the first century.
For the people of God with ears to hear and eyes to see, the Spirit reality of Christ in us bringing forth His kingdom is the greatest most glorious life of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit ever known on earth.
The great all-encompassing Kingdom of God is the loving rule of God over all things and all beings on earth and in heaven. All life and all that exist from God fits into and under the great Master Plan of God’s kingdom rule and must come into accordance with His love and perfect order of alignment.
By LOVE all things in the kingdom fit and work together in perfect harmony on earth as in heaven. The greatest life ever on earth since the Garden of Eden is now available to us as the Kingdom of God abides within us and flows out of us to transform the world to the Master Plan of God, the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
This is the Spirit life reality that is now available to us in this season of the further revealing of the mystery of Christ in this world in us, His Body and Bride. All the Patriarchs and Prophets of the past longed for this season. They saw it afar off and desired to experience it but could not. They are made complete in us as that for which they sought is now manifesting in God’s mature Sons. True believers who have been crucified with Christ and now the life in them is the life of Christ Jesus the Messiah, Lord and King of all. With Paul they can say, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me,” Galatians 2:20.
The patriarchs and the prophets of old are made complete. “And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us,” Hebrews 11:39-40.
This is the season of the manifesting of the Sons of God becoming the true Bride and Body of the living God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit. The New Jerusalem ruling Spirit city of the kingdom of God is being miraculously supernaturally formed in God’s chosen people on earth from the seed of Christ the King that is planted in them by the Word of the Kingdom. Nothing is impossible to God in His people.
