THE PICTURE OF CHRIST AND THE CHURCH
Abraham, whose faith was counted as righteousness before God, is a picture of the faith, obedience and the love of Christ in and for His Father in Heaven. And Isaac, as an adult, is a picture of the faith, obedience and love in and for his earthly father as well as in and for His Father in Heaven as he yielded without question to become a sacrifice.
Joseph’s life depicts the Life of Christ. He received revelation truth, prophesy through a dream that he shared with his father and brothers. His own did not receive him. He was persecuted, beaten and left for dead. He suffered at the hands of a traitor. He suffered a wilderness experience. He never condemned nor complained about his wilderness experiences. He loved unconditionally. He always knew his destiny and never lost sight of it. And he became his dream and the savior of Israel.
Sampson’s life is a picture of the church who had power but who lost its first love letting the love of the world consume it stripping it from its power. Like Sampson, the church has been blinded through cunningly crafted errors, the subtle deception of Babylonian idol worship that took them by the spirit of Jezebel into bondage and corruption, stripping them of their God-given anointed power.
Sampson was actually stripped of his power through the manipulating and deception of the whore, Delilah (the Jezebel spirit). He awakened with confidence to take on the situation but; instead, suddenly became aware of his helpless state of blindness and being stripped of the power of God in his life. And the Bible states he was not aware that God's anointing had left him.
Blind and in shekels of bondage he became a slave, daily grinding in the mill. The enemy of his soul heckled him and his God and made a laughing stock of him in the arena before thousands of seemingly triumphant Philistines. But without the enemy’s awareness, Sampson’s hair was growing back. And in God’s appointed time, He was moving in God again with God’s anointing.
Sampson asked a young lad to lead him to a place between two pillars. He stood firmly between the two pillars and with the power of God again in His life; he caused the whole arena to capsize, killing more Philistines in that moment of time then he had in his whole lifetime put together.
This is clearly the picture of the church through the past almost two centuries up until today. What is about to happen, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, is that, while the church has been grinding away, helpless and blind, Christ has been graciously arising in the hearts of the true sons of God who are walking in the revelation of the finished work of God in Christ Jesus. God is rising up a people who have ears to hear and eyes to see what the Spirit is saying to the Church and He has heard their cry over the ages.
God is faithful to His word. It may not look like it from the world’s standpoint. It is plain to see the world is heckling over the poor state of the church as they see it today. And we know their intentions to wipe both the Christians and the Jews off from the face of this earth. It does not appear unto them or even to the average church person what God has already done and which is about to manifest in the world today.
God is keeping His covenant with His people and is graciously restoring His power in His Church through the revelations of truth that are being revealed to the true sons of God by the Holy Spirit. It is time for us to begin to sing: LET GOD ARISE AND HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED!
Harvest time has already begun. The early rain has begun and the latter rain will follow. Get ready. Be ready. There is about to be a harvest of souls like the world has never seen. Are you maturing in the revelations of truth imparted by; the Holy Spirit of truth? The whole world and all creation are groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. And we are, too, having received our calling to be the ministers of reconciliation. Does not your heart burn within you to tell the whole world that they have been reconciled back to God through His Son, Jesus Christ?
Let the Holy Spirit burn within us a new and living passion for our Father
in Heaven and all His creation and let it grow deeper and greater that the
love of God will be established in our hearts. Let the unveiling of
Christ within us come forth. Let the love of Christ be perfected in
us. Let Christ be formed in us. Let death be swallowed up in victory!
Romans 16:24-27
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
A-men.
Now to Him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the
preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which
was kept secret since the world began,
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according
to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the
obedience of faith:
To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever.
A-men.
