Fullness of Faith is Being Released
I was reading Psalm 46 recently and when I got to these verses I felt a surge of energy.
“There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.” (Psalm 46:4-5)
It was like an electrical charge went through my body. I heard the Spirit of God say, “A fullness of faith is being released, a faith operating in the dynamic flow of My Presence.”
This fullness of faith is like the faith we witness in the lives of men and women in the Bible and church history up to the present day. Their lives show us a faith that stands confidently in the promised outcome of what they believe. That’s powerful in and of itself; but, we are being taken to a whole new level.
Holy Spirit says, “What you have witnessed in part is now being made full. A New Pentecost is at hand! What the first Pentecost set in place was a foretaste, a first beginnings of a greater glory. For the glory of this latter house shall be greater than the glory of the former.”
This “greater glory” is the manifestation of a fullness of faith from the place of the finished work of Christ. We are being called into a fullness of faith that operates from the place of “Already Accomplished“. The days of “fighting for”, “striving after”, or “coming against” is replaced with the release of power found in the fullness of Christ we already have within us. This is resonating in me as I think on what the psalmist reveals in Psalm 46:4-5.
The Place of Presence
The psalmist states that the “city of God”, the “holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High”, is filled with the Presence of the Lord–“God is in the midst of her”–One of the most wonderful aspects of the Third Great Awakening is that more and more Blood-redeemed believers are waking to the reality of God’s Abiding Presence. The Apostle Paul writes that we are the Temple of the living God (1 Cor. 6:19, Eph. 2:21-22), and are filled with all the fullness of Christ (Col. 1:27, 2:9-10). We have known this and accepted it theologically; but, for many that doctrinal belief hasn’t been integrated into a living experience–until now.
There is a stunning vision recorded in Ezekiel 43:1-7 of God entering the Temple. I encourage you to look it up and read it. It’s a prophetic picture of what both the psalmist and Paul clearly reveal, and I believe spending time meditating on that vision will move us into a place of experiencing the reality of who we truly are–we are the Tabernacle of the Most High–God is in the midst of us!
You and I are being called into the Secret Place of God’s Abiding Presence — the Inner Chambers of Intimate Love, the Holy Crucible of the Flames of Yah, the Deep Wells of Living Water, the Fountain of New Wine, the Flowing Oil of Joy! It’s here, and only here, where we cultivate an ever deepening relationship. Here we come into greater alignment, or agreement with God and begin to experience His Presence and move in a fullness of faith beyond all we could ask or imagine. It is here where eternal life is activated and fullness of faith moves with great power.
The Power of Presence
There are “rivers of living water” (John 7:38-39) which flow out of our innermost being. These rivers, or “streams” are the source of an activated eternal life, and is found only in the Presence. Obviously, we’re not talking about physical water; but, the movement of energy by frequencies of the Sound of Heaven, the Voice of the Lord as He ‘sings’ over us, filling and energizing us with an ever increasing and expanding flow of Glory. Both Ezekiel 47:1-12 and Revelation 22:1-2 speak of this ‘river’ that is the life-blood of all things.
All this is very important because it speaks of movement–the creative flow of the Spirit of God. The Lord is not as interested in “events” as he is the creative process that flows into and out of an event. We, on the other hand, tend to be event oriented and forget that all of life is a process–an ongoing, unfolding process. We are immersed in a continuous flow of creative potential.
Events are simply ‘markers’ set, or fixed in the flow of God’s River of Creativity. They are moments God wants us to experience; but, we’re not to stay there. We are to take what we’ve experienced and integrate it into our lives as we move forward, flowing with God in new and creative ways. The Day of Pentecost in Acts 2 was a ‘marker’ on our journey. It was not the destination.
Which brings me back to the ‘New Pentecost’ Holy Spirit is revealing. The Spirit says, “This New Pentecost has come, and yet, is still coming. For, it is unfolding in revelation and wisdom with the demonstration of Power that is of a whole new level for a whole new Day of Glory–this Day of Great Awakening.”
The Personification of Presence
We are moving from glory to glory, ever increasing in the fullness of the image of Christ (2 Cor. 3:18). Holy Spirit is rapidly increasing the flow of this fullness which is to be revealed upon the earth (Col. 3:4) in a demonstration of power-the greater glory of the latter house. This is all tied to the reality of “Christ in you the hope of glory” (Col. 1:27) and is evidenced by–Abundant Joy.
“There is a river whose streams shall make glad…”
The Day of Pentecost in Acts 2 was marked by the power of God, and also the Joy of the Lord. There was an atmosphere of great joy among God’s people as they moved in His power with signs, wonders and miracles. However, over time the joy gave way to more and more religious influences and joy was replaced by an atmosphere of struggle and fight. “Fight the good fight of faith” (1 Tim. 6:12) became more of a militant call and we lost the joy. That is all changing. There is an uncapping of deep wells of joy in this Great Awakening. The New Pentecost with the releasing of the Fullness of Faith moves with powerful joy. A faith that dances in the Flames of Yah and twirls in ecstasy in the Whirlwind Cloud of Glory.
A faith that looks through the eyes of the already accomplished work of Christ, seeing all sickness, disease, bondage to infirmity, slavery to fear and death as mere shadows with no substance and no power.
A faith that moves in the authority of Isaiah 61, fulfilled in Christ Jesus (Luke 4:18-20) bringing forth the Oil of Joy and Garments of Praise which breaks every yoke and sets every captive free.
Don’t forget the creative flow of God is full of joy. The ecstatic Song of the Lord is “Rejoicing”. God is twirling and dancing fervently, singing over us in Great Joy, and as we come into agreement with His Song the glory of the latter house is revealed upon the earth with signs, wonders and miracles that eclipse all that has gone before.
“God shall help her, just at the break of dawn“
That day is here. A sound is being released from the heavenly realm. A sound unheard on earth until now. It’s the sound of the Fullness of Faith, strong in the power of “Already Accomplished.”
