The Lost Kingdom

The Lost Kingdom 

The (Lamb of God) gave his life on the wooden cross his shed blood delivered us from the kingdom of darkness much like the blood spread on the wooden doorposts on the first Passover delivered God's children from the Death angel in Egypt.

His bodily resurrection on the third day was the demonstration of the effectiveness of that victory. Even the Miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, (on the third day) was the evidence of their freedom from the power of Egypt. God buried their past with their identity as slaves in the baptism of the Red Sea, 

Some would set up camp here and remain to bask in the light of that deliverance. 
But the pillar of cloud did not stay on the farther shore of the Red Sea,
It lifted up and went into the wilderness, and the children of Israel followed it into the wilderness and they spent 40 years there. The wilderness is where we encounter God.

The disciples were led for forty days after His resurrection by the resurrected Jesus, just as the children of God were led by Moses for 40 years after they came up out of the Red Sea and to Mount Sinai, 

Jesus went up into the cloud on the 40th day and was taken up out of sight even as Moses disappeared into a cloud that came down upon the mountain and vanished from the sight of the Israelites.

Jesus instructed them to wait until they were endued with power from on high, The angels said to them  "Why do you stand here gazing up into heaven? Do you not realize that this same Jesus will come again in the same way (coming down out of the clouds" They went to the upper room and they waited for 10 days,  even as the children of Israel camped at the base of the mountain waiting for Moses to come down out of the cloud.

In the Old  Covenant, God gave the Instructions (Torah means instructions) on Mount Sinai. -
But in the New Covenant God gave us the INSTRUCTOR 
In the upper room, the fire that came down on the mountain and covered it came down upon the heads of those gathered there.

Even as back in the wilderness God gives Moses the Torah (Instructions) written by the finger of God on tablets of stone and fire and flashes of lightning and fire consumed the mountain where they met,

When God gave the INSTRUCTOR it also was accompanied by an earthquake and with tongues of fire, but now the Spirit of God wrote the Instructions of God on tablets of flesh in that he engraved the words of Jesus on our hearts as he came to dwell in us.

Without being led by the Spirit of God, the law of God will always be portrayed in the 'letter' of the law, there is no other way, we are all legalists,

Only with the leading of the Spirit of God and under his control, will we be able to communicate or live out the 'spirit' of the law, put another way, the SPIRIT of the INSTRUCTIONS which is why God chose to send us the INSTRUCTOR who lives within us, guiding us into all truth, reminding us of everything that Jesus said.

In order to do that He must reign in our hearts and minds. "Thy will be done, thy kingdom come,...On Earth, as it is in Heaven".

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about being given the key of David to open and no m

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible school was

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earlier,
