“CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH”
Part 4
“BLAMELESS IN HIS SIGHT even ABOVE REPROACH.”
“Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ
before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated & set apart for Him) &
blameless in His sight, before Him in love.”
“For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His
own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased
Him & was His kind intent].”
“[So that we might be] to the praise & commendation of His glorious grace (favour & mercy),
which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.” Eph 1:4-6. Amp.
In the Third realm of understanding we receive the mind of God more fully. When we begin to stop
thinking through a mind of “good verses evil” & begin to function out of the tree of life & realize that
God has no enemies. Why? He does not dwell in that realm of opposites, and because we dwell in Him
& He dwells within us neither do we & need to dwell in that realm of opposites, neither do we need to
have any enemies. Sure He knows about Good & Evil but, HE DOES NOT DWELL IN THAT
REALM this is why He said “My Kingdom is not of this World.” It is a HIGHER Kingdom. Our
mighty God who dwells in infinity is not so fickle as to have enemies, He is GOD. As we rise further
into Him we too receive the same mind as He has; even the “The mind of Christ.” I remember
someone saying that “there is no message further than Pentecost we have the full gospel.”
If a person is in Passover & does not believe in the fullness of the spirit then he or she believes &
teaches one feast, one experience one realm. If a person believes in the baptism of the spirit & has
received a second experience in God, they believe in & teach two feasts two realms. All this is good &
part of the plan of God. But I would invite you to become involved in the whole counsel of God. The
third feast!! “THREE FEASTS THREE REALMS the FULL GOSPEL.”
When Paul was caught up into the “Third Heaven,” he was caught up to the third realm & saw
what was ahead. That is why he said I have not yet attained & that’s why he was still pressing toward
that mark; and may I also add for the prize of the “HIGH CALLING.”
In the above first verse, “we were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world,”
& it was prophesied “that we would be holy & blameless in His sight.”
That prophecy came to pass both at Calvary & the resurrection. Until we put on Tabernacle
Spectacles we cannot see things from God’s perspective. I remember that when I first received the
infilling of the spirit, it was as if a light was turned on. The bible became a new book; I was viewing
things through Pentecostal glasses as it were.
From Gods point of view “The end is declared before the beginning/” Isa 46:10. You see my
friends because God dwells in an entirely different realm to us, ie: the realm of spirit & infinity He
thinks quite differently to those of us who are still functioning in a realm that God is not in & that is
GOOD & EVIL but my lovely wonderful brothers & sisters things are about to change, God is in the
process right now of bringing men & woman up to His level into the same realisation as Himself.
HOW? Why the Kingdom that Jesus more than intimated was & is in us, which has been lying dormant
in His creation man; He is now bringing to life in its fullness, & a wonderful realization that many of the
promises of God are already ours; & the culprit or adversary or serpent [which represents the carnal
mind] has been deceiving us!--- Since Calvary & the resurrection, God Has not been so interested in
coming down to our level, but the plan of God is to raise men up to being replicas of Himself; Elohim’s
1

as it were. John 10:34. Ps 82:6. Ps 8:5. Amp. The fact is we already are! We are coming into a
realisation of that which already is; in the mind of God.
“BELOVED YOU DO NOT EARN ANY PROMISE OF GOD YOU SIMPLY BELIEVE WHAT
HE SAID.”
The Christ who dwells within is Holy, He has never sinned & if you can but grasp this fact, this
makes you as Holy as He is. Why? Because He is your True identity or you're TRUE SELF, one who
has never ever sinned. Too simple!! The “Truth will set you free” & the Truth is simple.
“This is God’s view & opinion on the matter; You are what Christ is, free gratis through FAITH
& not by works, otherwise you will have reason to boast.” And that would be called self
righteousness.
Once we grasp this we become what we believe, & that is as Paul said in 1Cor 12:12 a Christ or an
anointed one. I once read a phrase written by a very spiritual man that said “desire is character.” I
have pondered that little quip over the years & how true it is. For instance a man desires to become a
boxer perhaps, he thinks like a boxer, mixes with boxers, acts like a boxer & soon enough he takes on
the pose of a boxer in every way, it becomes his whole character. We can take this in any walk of life.
How much more in wanting to become a Christ man, a Christine, or a Christian. We eventually take
on His whole Character that is while the desire is there.
“IN OUR TRUE IDENTITY WE ARE, AND HAVE BEEN BLAMELESS FOR AGES.”
“Christ was slain before the foundation of the World.” Or “before the disruption of the cosmos,”
in the mind of God. and that is the mind I am interested in, that is the mind I wish to be my mind. “The
mind of Christ.”
“I have not come to condemn the world, but that the world through me might be saved.”
Incidentally the word might does not mean maybe. Strongs # 2480 Ischuo, 2479 Ischus, =
forcefulness, ability, power, might, strength, prevail, can do, (not) could, be good, be whole, + much
work.
“While we were yet sinners [in our mistaken identity], Christ died for us.” Rom 5:8.
“God does not look on the outward appearance but on the heart.” & that is where he sees the Pearl
of great price. Which is the Christ or your true identity. And this can also be termed as the seed [not
seeds as of many] or a growing & arising of that ONE Son.
“All this is in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him & was His kind
Intention].” (toward us) WHY? “[So that we might be] to the praise & commendation of His
glorious grace (favour & mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.” ONE (who is
Jesus Christ).
“TO THE OBEDIENT; A WONDERFUL, COMFORTING, SATISFYING TRUTH.”
“Fore-ordination and Predestination.”
I must mention this, although some may not like this kind of talk, it is in the book. Not only do we
leave it there but we agree with it & teach it. Years ago I did not believe this
“For He fore-ordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as his
own children through Jesus Christ.” Eph1:5.
Here are two verses that blend in nicely with the above, that actually go hand in hand with each other.

3. “Christ the Antidote, regarding Death.”
Rom 8:29-30.
“For those whom He fore-knew [of whom He was aware & loved before hand], He also
destined from the beginning [fore-ordaining them] to be moulded into the image of His Son [&
share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the first-born among many brethren”. “And
those whom He thus fore-ordained, He also called; & those whom He called, He also justified
(acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He
justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity & condition or state of being].”
Is that not wonderful! The question arises. If He is the saviour of all men, why are only certain ones
called in the preceding verses? Well I am so glad that you have asked me such a question for I will be
more than delighted to give you the very simple answer; “But EVERY man in his own order: Christ
the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at His coming.” 1Cor 15:23. K.J.V. Every man &
woman have their own time. “God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those that believe.”
1 Tim 4:10b. K.J.V. Please notice it states especially; not exclusively.
The words of the verse of this poem should clarify the query.
Not just revising some old plan, or notion,
Nor altering a law or two;
Reviving some long dead emotion,
Among a favoured chosen few;
But growth to full promotion,
As every man He doth renew! “Dora Van Assen,
“ABRAHAM, COME OUT OF YOUR TENT.”
Abraham, residing in your tent for too long restricts your spiritual vision. Your vision can go no
further than a few feet in any direction. Come outside & look at the stars; can you count them? This is a
type of the number of children you will Father. As many as the stars are of the heaven so shall be your
seed or offspring. Where are they now? Hello offspring!!
“First the natural, then the spiritual.”
Like Abraham, our Father wants us to move out of the limitations of our natural way of thinking
into the spiritual way of perceiving things. We are so limited in our flesh we must have the spirit
moving in our lives to raise our spiritual vision. Isaiah writes in the 54th Chapter & verse 2.
“Enlarge the place of your tent, & let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; spare
not; lengthen your cords & strengthen your stakes,”
Let your thinking from now on become spiritual, without the limitation of carnality, & arise into the
thinking of Godliness which is in Godhood & infinity.
As God is infinite so is that part of us that was Created in His Image; Infinite! Spare not, don’t wait
any longer, there is too much my friend to miss out on. This is no threat; only that it is too good to miss.
“For you will spread abroad to the right hand & to the left; & your offspring will possess the
nations & make the desolate cities to be inhabited.” V3. This is the promise to Abraham’s spiritual
seed. As the last heading states, “First we live & experience the natural realm then at the time appointed
we advance to the Spiritual.” This is a type of coming out of our tent.
“GOD IS SEEKING TENTMAKERS.”

4. “Christ the Antidote, regarding Death.”
“My tent (home) is taken by force & plundered, & all my (tent) cords are broken. My children are
gone [as captives] from me, & they are no more; there is no one to stretch my tent any more & to
set up my [tent] curtains. For the shepherds [of the people] have become like brutes, irrational &
stupid, & have not sought the Lord or required Him [by necessity & right of His word]. Therefore
they have not dealt prudently & have not prospered, & all their flocks are scattered. Jer 10:20-21.
Even though Jeremiah is alluding to the Tent of Moses [the K.J.V. states precisely Tabernacle]
there is clearly a far deeper prophetic meaning to & for us TODAY. In a nutshell the Tabernacle is US
it is Gods type & plan for MAN both singularly & collectively.
The three feasts were;
Passover Pentecost Tabernacles
The Tabernacle plan consisted of three sections.
Outer Court Holy Place Most Holy Place
We consist of:-
Body. Soul Spirit
“We are the Temple of God.”
In the above verse we read:- “My Tent (home) or temple is taken by force & plundered, & all
my tent cords are broken.” The cords or ropes that hold or control the tent & keep it upright & in
place are broken. If there is one thing man needs today he needs to be held in check or controlled by the
spirit & the truth of God, “for He seeks those that would worship Him in spirit & in truth.”
In Psalm 2:2-3. We read, “The Kings of the earth take their places; the rulers take counsel
together against the Lord and His Anointed One (the Messiah, the Christ). They say, Let us break
Their bands [of restraint] and cast Their CORDS [of control] from us.”
As we stated above God is looking for Tentmakers or Tent-repairers in this day. The truth of
the Third Realm, The Most Holy place, Tabernacles, The Manifestation of the Sons of God, The
Man-child, these cords need to be not only put into place but the stakes driven down deep & the ropes
tightened. The tent needs to be stretched & the curtains need to be hung to show that there is a
difference between the three sections & also that the “Most Holy Place” is surely accessible if we really
want to enter. Amen! A sure solid word is needed. People also need to be told how to change the Kings
& rulers & princes & gods that are in their lives. The King of Kings is willing to Rule & become our
Prince of Peace & take the place of the “god of this world.”
“I drew them with CORDS of a man, with bands of love, & I was to them as one who lifts up
& eases the yoke over their cheeks, & I bent down to them & gently laid food before them.
Hos11:4
The cords that God is drawing with in this case, “of a man” is through men, & the word that is
coming by men.--This word is not one of condemnation but a word that will lift men into a higher realm
& will ease the yoke of the bondage & the pointing of the finger, condemnation & all that the fruit of
good & evil has brought with it. It will also negate the plundering of our true Tabernacle which is you
& I my brother & sister. I love the last part of this verse, “and I bent down to them & gently laid food
before them.” How beautiful! There are many dedicated men & women that God is using today to
bring the ultimate of the truth of ourselves, & our Father; also it is through them that many times He is
laying food before us.

5. “Christ the Antidote, regarding Death.”
“For the shepherds [of the people] have become brutish, irrational & stupid, & have not
sought the Lord or required Him [by necessity of right of His word]. Therefore they have not
dealt prudently & have not prospered, & all their flocks are scattered.” Top of page 4.
This verse speaks for itself, as we look about us & see the general state of the nominal church
scene, we do not have to imagine too hard to realise that the above description is here now. But alas
some are blind & wish to remain so. I was told recently that a census was taken in Melbourne Australia
two years ago, that almost two thirds of confessed Christians are now meeting in their own homes.
If we are not keeping abreast with God’s present truth we will grow stale & become brutish.
When the move of Pentecost took place in the early 1900s, it was not long before their opposers became
lukewarm & worldly. WHY? God was doing a new thing & the opposers brought the truth against
themselves. In other words they were kicking against the pricks so to speak. Unfortunately they would
& could not see it & many fought it. Once again history is repeating itself, & sad to say it seems to be
that man does not learn from History. It is now over 20 years since I began to walk in this truth & I am
learning all the time, I have been judged by many & of course that is to be expected. The Father is more
real to me now than ever. God never stays still; when we become self satisfied & complacent & put our
feet up so to speak this is the time we need to seek God & ask. What next Father? -- I can tell you the
main thing we need are the facts, THE TRUTH; & that will be found only in JESUS CHRIST.
“What is the answer to this so called dilemma that religiosity has beguiled us into?”
Dear children of Abraham, maybe it’s the time to come out of our spiritually restricted tent &
then we can look up & about without hindrance, then I assure you it is a wonderful thing to
experience clear vision. But know this, we must make the move & extract ourselves from the tent.
God’s corrective hand I see
As He gently looses me
From the strangling pangs of death;
Judging unto righteousness,
Chastening only to bless,
Giving me His life and breath.
“IT IS NECESSARY TO LOSE MORTAL SHACKLES
TO GAIN SPIRITUAL WINGS.”
Recently I heard someone say “Mend my broken wings that I might be free.” Spiritually it does
not work quite that way. God does not mend the natural; He gives us something new in exchange for the
old.
“I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth & dies, it
remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces
many others & yields a rich harvest. Anyone who loves his life loses it, but anyone who hates his
life in this world will keep it to life eternal. [Whoever has no love for, no concern for, no regard
for his life here on earth, but despises it, preserves his life forever & ever.] If anyone serves me, he
must continue to follow Me, [to cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to my example in living
&, if need be in dying] & wherever I am, there will My servant be also. If anyone serves me, the
Father will honour him.” Jn12:24-26.
As I am being led to write these things I am searching my own heart also.

6. “Christ the Antidote, regarding Death.”
As we move out of the “in part realm,” understanding that this is part of the fruit of good & evil,
we also desire to “lose our mortal shackles.” To do this every part of the good & evil must go. The
church in general teaches us that the war is Good verses Evil. This is a fallacy, a delusion; we must be
rid of both of them. Why? They are BOTH from the wrong tree. In the tree of life there are no
opposites; only God the One. The understanding we have because of our teaching, is that the good must
prevail over the evil or the bad. Now in our old concept of thinking this was easy to grasp. Why? Well
in our lowered thinking, the hero against the villain, John Wayne verses the bad guy, sickness verses
health etc, etc.
Even Dale Carnegie’s well meaning “Power of positive thinking.” is not included in “The Secret
Place of the Most high.” “My Kingdom is not of this world.” [or the worldly way of thinking].
“My Kingdom is from above”. Jesus said. He did not mean geographically but a higher way of
thinking. And that high way comes from the highest; King of Kings who dwells within us. “Who alone
has immortality [in the sense of exemption from every kind of death] & lives in unapproachable
light. 1Tim 6:16a.
It is one thing for the EVIL to go in our lives, but what about the GOOD which is from the same
fruit. The BAD ADAM is not the only one who has to go but the GOOD ADAM must die also & that is
our self righteousness, “which are as filthy rags.” These things I am now going to mention depend on
our attitude to, & why, we are practicing them.
I don’t drink. I don’t smoke, I don’t eat meat. I go to church every Sunday. Even if I fast with a view
to recognition, this is phariseeical. Judging others on someone elses one sided opinion, without knowing
all the facts, or judging others in general. Maybe, I think that I am a little better than the next person,
“let each esteem the other better than themselves.” Phil 2:3b. The hardest thing to die in my opinion
is our reputation. But it must be dealt with. Our self righteous sacrifice is just not good enough.
The real question I ask myself & this goes for all of us. “Do I want Gods best in my life?”
As these things begin to penetrate our hearts we need to realise that we are “already dead in
Christ, when He died we died with Him.” Rom 6:6-8. If we can but grasp it there is not one more
thing that needs to be done it all happened at Calvary & at the resurrection. To go a little further it
happened “before the foundation of the world.” when in the mind of God “the Lamb was slain.”
Remember that God does not live in time, He is infinite. All we really need to do is to believe it & it
will work for us.
“GAINING OUR SPIRITUAL WINGS.”
“For by one single offering He has forever completely cleansed & perfected those who are
consecrated & made holy.” Heb10:14.
What this verse is actually saying in the “Most Holy Place” way of understanding or “Gods point of
view,” that even though Jesus “tasted death for every man” & all are included in His plan; What
Christ accomplished at the resurrection was for every man, when it is our time to embrace it by faith,
that is by “the faith of God” then our realisation that what was already ours from before the
foundation then becomes our understanding & reality.
“Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them
that believe; for there is no difference.” Rom 3:22. K.J.V. The Diaglott brings this out even clearer;
“ to all, and upon all the believing; not for is a distinction.” The very next verse tells us; V 23 “For
all have sinned & come short of the glory of God.” V 24 “Being justified freely by His grace
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; To further this thought; “ God, who is the saviour of
all men specially of those that believe.” 1Tim 4:10b Once again, “especially not exclusively.”
Time & circumstance are the determining factors as far as we are concerned.
But as far as God is concerned it is a;

7. “Christ the Antidote, regarding Death.”
“A DONE DEAL FOR ALL, EACH MAN IN HIS OWN ORDER.”
1 Cor 15:23.
For emphasis I will rewrite the first verse written in this issue. Eph1:4.
“Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before
the foundation of the world, that we be should holy (consecrated & set apart for Him) &
blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.” This verse shows that this is God
prophesying concerning us before the foundation of the world; “that we should be holy” God who
cannot make a mistake pre-determined this. Let us rest in this and begin to soar using our “spiritual
wings.”
Keep well in mind that your “true identity or self has never sinned” in other words “The Christ
in you has never mistaken His identity.” In each of us lives the “Holy One.” If we can fully grasp &
know this & meditate upon it deep within our soul until it becomes part of our thinking, we are then
realising truth, and;
“THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.”
So we are on a journey back to the Father or back to the realisation of our original identity in the
Father & the Son who are one, back to EDEN.
Before I continue with the next thought; we will ask ourselves the question once more. Who am I
really?
What & who is my true self? Jesus the Christ said;
“I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.”
He also said;
“For as the Father has life in Himself & is self-existent, so He has given to the Son to have
life in Himself, & be self existent.” Jn 5:26.
This is none other than the same Christ who is now in us, the same one who told us in Rom 8:23b
When He spoke regarding the “Holy Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan
inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies from sensuality & the grave, which will
reveal our adoption (our manifestation as God’s sons).”
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
The same thought is found in Psalm 82:6-7.
“I said, You are gods – indeed all of you are children of the Most High. But you shall die as men.”
For centuries human beings have been living below their status, enduring sickness, death & destruction.
Why? Lack of knowledge! This of course means spiritual knowledge. This is all about to change, first
in the Sons of God, & then they will manifest & reveal their Christ-ship or their Anointing & Identity &
take it to the world.
“THE UNVEILING IS TAKING PLACE IN US RIGHT NOW.”
Oh son of Man! Disciplined to be
God’s own perfect HEADSHIP COMPANY!
Bringing now to one united whole,
Flowing on to God’s predestined goal;
Arise! Begin to take thy place,
The First-fruits of the human race;

Display God’s magnitude of grace,
That will in time all men embrace. Dora Van Assen. 30/ 1/ 69
“Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God’s power through [your] faith [till you fully
inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.” 1Peter 1:5.
This word revealed is from the Greek word “Apokalupto” & it means, (to take off the cover,
disclose, reveal.) “Weymouth” uses the word unveiled. The final salvation or full salvation as in Heb
9:28 Amp. Really means that God is lifting the cover on many things that have been kept secret to most
since the time of Genesis Chapter 3.
Our whole religious well meaning but ignorant way of thinking has been from the wrong tree, most
of us have not been aware of this. But now it is being disclosed. Good v Evil, Positive v Negative,
Sickness v Health. Even our concept on how we are to be healed must be placed on the ALTAR, it must
give way to a Higher Way. Our concept on overcoming must not be taught in the old almost
condemning attitude. It is a matter of just KNOWING.
The true way in God is not one thing against another. The concept now is “IT IS SO.” Nothing
against anything. It is an arising in our thinking. What God says “IS A FACT.” We are God beings &
that makes us over-comers without any Competition Rivalry or Fight we rest in the fact that we are
God’s children & what He says is so. Jesus said “Resist not evil” especially with the wrong Good. If
that was His concept it must become ours. Jesus taught us, “Only God is good,” & that Good is not
the opposite of Evil. It is a different good than most well meaning Christians understand yet.
“We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the
last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, & the dead shall be raised incorruptible, & we shall be
changed.” 1 Cor 15:51b-52. In the twinkling of an eye, or “the raising up of our spiritual vision.”
Isn’t this what is happening right now. We are told more than once in the book of the Revelation of
Jesus Christ to “Come up higher.” How? In our thinking of course, in our realisation of Christ in us.
“At the last trump.” Or the seventh trumpet which is now sounding loud & clear.
What though the radiance which was once so bright, Is now forever taken from my sight.
Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather, find strength in what remains behind. "WORDSWORTH"
“FINDING STRENTH IN WHAT REMAINS BEHIND.”
Moses was a mighty man of God, he represented the “Passover - Pentecostal' era for his time. The
blood on the lintels represented the Passover & the death of the First-born. The Israelites crossing the
Red Sea represented the water of baptism, the cloud by day & the fire by night stood for Holy Spirit.
1Cor 10:1-2. After going through an eventful journey when it came time to cross Jordan into the
promised land the people balked, the reason being, murmerings & dissatisfaction from the majority of
the leaders. As the story goes Moses had sent out Twelve leaders representing each tribe of Israel to spy
out the promised land. When they returned ten of the leaders disagreed with two namely Joshua &
Caleb. Because the faith of the ten “was not mixed with the faith of those hearing,” ie; Joshua &
Caleb. [Diaglott] The Amplified says “neither were they they united in faith with the ones [Joshua
& Caleb] who heard (did believe). Heb 4:2. The main reason for the disagreement was “there are
giants in the land” when it is time for us to move on in God or to come up higher it always means
CHANGE, this to many represents a giant, not very many people are keen on change; but if we are
“earnestly waiting for & expecting Him” & want only to “seek Him with our whole heart” we will
be of the attitude “My Lord & My God.” Whatever you say! Whenever our Father wants us to move &
raise us higher in our thinking & especially into a “promised land” my dear brother & sister rest
assured it is going to affect our spiritual & maybe our physical comfort zone.

9. “Christ the Antidote, regarding Death.”
So after spying out the land the ten came back & begin to bring an evil report to Israel. May I say here
that all through the Bible stories, very rarely are the Majority used, God has always used the minority.
Such was the discontent that the people not only wished to return to Egypt but wanted to stone
Joshua & Caleb. Then the Lord stepped into the scene & said to Moses I will smite them & disinherit
them. Moses then reasoned with God [which I believe is what God wanted, & wished to see the reaction
of Moses] & God heard him. As punishment the disobedient were penalised for 40 years until they all
died off. Whereas they all could have gone into the promised land at that time, there was a wait that
could have been avoided. Added to this, no one over 20 years old would enter except Joshua & Caleb.
Why? One word “UNBELIEF.” Why did God choose Joshua & Caleb above all those who were
refused.
Verse 24 of Ch 14 “But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit & has followed Me
FULLY, I will bring into the land into which he went, & his descendants shall possess it,”
“If we do not already know it, the decisions we make today will affect those who follow us tomorrow!”
This account is found in Numbers Chapters 13-14.
I must mention, that as Moses represented Passover & Pentecost. So Joshua represents Tabernacles,
the crossing of Jordan represents the washing away of all our religiosity & wrong concepts mainly
“ that of duality” or “good & evil” this I believe is happening right now, for “those who have ears
to hear.”
I sometimes wonder if it were not for some, that we would be further ahead. But then I realise that
God is always right on time. But remenber that it is our decision & that “many are called but few are
chosen.” That my beloved brothers & sisters really sobers me. Let us not forget Joshua & Caleb went
over Jordan & into the promised land. If God has called you, & you fully desire his will, you will
overcome & enter the Promised land for our Great Saviour & King prepared this for people like you &
I. You doubt it; look at the disciples just ordinary people. But Oh what God can do!
SO!!
“WE WILL FIND STRENGTH IN WHAT REMAINS BEHIND.”
Saul the son of Kish represented Pentecost. He was anointed by Samuel the Prophet on the day of
the feast of Pentecost.1Sam11:15-12:17. David represented Tabernacles. He was a King, Priest &
Prophet.
“After this I will return, & will build again the Tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; & I will
build again the ruins thereof, & I will set it up:” Acts 15:16, K.J.V. This verse is taken from the last
chapter in Amos, which is an end time book, the last chapter especially is an end time chapter. This
Tabernacle here is not referring to the temple of Solomon. This is the tent that David put on Mt Zion
(a portable tent) after he took home the Ark of the Covenant, Which is quite a story in itself. All that
was in the tent was the Ark & the Shekinah Glory which dwelt in & upon the Ark. This is what our
Father is interested in; our “Secret Place.” This is where He wants us to dwell; “Within.” Notice that in
this case the word Tabernacle is from the Greek word [“skene” Strongs #4633= tent or cloth, habitation,
tabernacle]. In 2 Cor 5:1. Paul is referring to our Tabernacle which is from the word [“skenos” #4636=
a hut or temporary residence, the human body (as the abode of the spirit).”] Incidentally our word skin is
derived from the Greek words skene & skenos.
Now this Tabernacle of David that is to be raised up or rebuilt is a type of what we are seeing
today & equates in every way with us. We represent the “hut, residence, habitation, the abode of the
spirit” or Tabernacle of David, & as we finish with the in-part realm & come into the “Love that
never fails” we will not need anymore types & shadows or crutches so to speak, all that we will need is
the kingdom of God which is within. The question I hear is. When is this going to take place? It is
taking place right now if you want it to. “Christ has come, is coming & shall come.” The whole event
is taking place in us. In 'the raising up of our spiritual understanding.” It is beautiful when we realise

that “we are growing up into the Head.” This my beloved brother & sister is not for the religious, this
is coming from the “secret place of the most high.”
A lot happened between Saul & David. Saul who represented Pentecost, persecuted David who is
a type of Tabernacles, constantly, & this eventually caused his downfall.
Jonathan who loved David so much, should have been with him & his motely crew, [who eventually
became great men of valour] & an army to be reckoned with. Unfortunately because of his attachment to
his “father” (organisation, denominatio) he never ever fully committed to God's best for his life &
died in battle with Saul his father. All of these are lessons for us to learn & apply to ourselves.
The whole crux of what both [Moses, Joshua & Caleb,] & [David, Saul & Jonathan,] is saying; is
that God is always moving on. There is always more in God. He is raising us up to be overcomers & to
share in the responsibilty of Ruler-ship.
“He who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself
overcame ( was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne.” Rev 3:21.
“Only in proportion as we know the truth can it make us free.”
“OVERCOMING IS KNOWING;---OUR TRUE IDENTITY.”
In the stream of life
Placed His own vitality
That brings forth His very image
I in Him and He in me!
This ultimate of incarnation,
Now is coming into view;
We are sensing an awakening
To our glory-- CHRIST IN YOU.
So what what remains behind? THE VERY VERY BEST!!
“OUR LOVING FATHER HAS KEPT THE BEST TILL LAST. THE COMPLETE AND FULL
EXPERIENCE OF TABERNACLES.”
