"RAYS OF SONLIGHT'
" SHALL WE MAKE 'THIS' EXODUS " ?
__________________
Most of us who are called out as Body members of Christ will agree on the major issues such as ages and dispensations of the church. There being seven ages given by names in Rev. ch 1/2/3/
.We find many prototypes in the old scriptures of the church passing from age to age as each age brought forth a predestined remnant. One of the most predominant types of this last church age is found in Exodus 16 where God sent the children of Israel bread in the wilderness. For five days they were to gather only enough for that one day (age). If they left it over to another day, (age) it bred worms and was full of corruption, but on the sixth day (age) the bread that fell was 'incorruptible' and they were able to gather a 'double portion' for the next day, which was the Sabbath day when no bread would fall.
SHALL WE MAKE THIS EXODUS………..?
Today we who were called out from the mother church realm several years ago, came into the sixth day of the 'incorruptible bread' which is the flesh and blood body of Christ, according to St. John 6; 32/33……..and verses 48 to 51.
It is on the sixth day (age) that the Father sends the Living Bread from heaven that a 'man' may eat and not die! We made the exodus by leaving the corruption of the fifth age and coming out into the age of the incorruptible Bread of life on the sixth day of incorruption.
We made this exodus by coming out of man's teaching (according to Hebrews 8; 10/11/12.and Jere. 31; 33/34.) and coming under the ultimate teaching of the Spirit out into the New Covenant where man can no longer teach. This is the blood covenant where we eat His flesh and drink His blood.
' THE BREAD THAT I GIVE IS MY FLESH'
Jesus said, 'unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood you have no life in you! BUT………….
' He who eats this bread shall live forever'
One of our deep concerns today is we see many who have heard the call to come out and they have tried to bring out the things of the former ages with them. These are the things which are corruptible in this age of light and life in Christ when He so desires to fill our every need as ' this corruption must 'put-on' IN-corruption and this 'mortal' must put-on IM-mortality.
According to our strongest prototype ( Exodus 16; 16/29) whatever is left over from another age is corruptible and breeds worms,' until the sixth day' when a double portion is gathered. We cannot carry the old order over into the new! Each age has its own bread which falls fresh every day. So many are hoarding the doctrines of a past age which have become corrupt and worm eaten! The action of God are always within the fresh order of each day. All the previous ages were prototypes until the sixth age when a double portion is gathered of the Bread which is Incorruptible, wherein a man may eat and not die.
This Bread of the sixth day is the Bread from Heaven which a man may eat and not die ( please read St. John 6; 48-55 )
The double portion is Christ The Head and Christ in His many membered body, which is his fullness; The fullness of all things!
Please read this prototype in Exodus, no manna will fall on this seventh day, for the double portion is all contained within the Body of Christ! All the glory the Father gave to The Son was placed into His body! ( St. John 17; 22)
Every age (day) produces its own particular 'remnant' and then it comes to its end. The apostle Paul tells us to 'leave' the principles of the doctrines 'of' Christ and stop laying foundations with baptisms and laying on of hands , etc.
One of the most shameful things a called out body member can do is 'revert' back to healing lines and gifts and anointings of an age that has ended……an age that has been folded up and laid aside for the new to become established.
REMEMBER; The Bread of Life, the incorruptible manna, did not come to us until the sixth day to bring immortality to a 'mortal' people in this last age of creation in Christ!
It is not a 'spirit' that ' puts-on immortality; Spirits are already immortal, and this 'incorruption' which is to be put on does not pertain to the spirit but to this flesh body of corruption.
' THIS 'CORRUPTION' MUST PUT-ON INCORRUPTION……..
Now it cannot 'inherit ' it, it must ' put-it-on. This incorruption, this immortality which must be put on is our house from heaven for which we are now groaning to be clothed upon, 2nd Cor. 5;2. Now there is a 'process' to putting on incorruption and coming into immortality. It has to do with being a 'joint heir with Christ' and partaking of that Bread of the sixth day! What a shame to run back to the healing lines and cry ' oh my aching back' instead of 'bearing about in our bodies the dying of the Lord Jesus……., being 'conformed' to His death is the only way one will ever know the 'power of His resurrection' according to Phillip. 3;10, also verse 21.
The bread in the wilderness, (fifth day) , no matter how good it was in its gifts and anointings , its healings and 'blessings' was not the living bread from heaven. And when it was kept over longer than that one particular day(age) it bred worms and was full of corruption! It could only sustain them for the one day(age) and that was to bring out a remnant into perfection for that age.
What we are witnessing today is a people who are still living on the corruption of the bread of the fifth day which was full of corruption and bred worms! They refuse to come out into this sixth day of double portion, where the ' Living Bread from heaven is falling. Jesus is the Living Bread, personified !
That is, in His person, He is the Living Bread that a man may eat and not die! Only the members of His Body can partake of this Bread. If one is truly a Body Member then he is made a partaker of that Bread, therefore he is drinking of that 'same' cup and eating of that same Bread that Jesus was and IS.
Jesus said, in St. John 6;53 ' except you eat the flesh of the Son of man you have no life in you!
A BODY-MEMBER KNOWS WHAT THE COMMUNION IS ALL ABOUT! He knows that it is much more than a water baptism and more even than a spiritual baptism; a Body member is now experiencing the ' baptism of fire '. It is the third witness on earth; the blood! (1st. John 5; 8 )……there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, the water, and the blood. It is the third witness that is found in the third baptism, the witness of the blood! Jesus spoke of this baptism in Luke 12;50…..Matt; 22/23; ' Shall you drink the same cup that I drink, and be baptized with the same baptism that I am baptized with ? Then He answers His own question; ' You shall indeed drink of My cup and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with'. Many have not allowed this third baptism, this third witness, to operate in their lives and know nothing of this 'cup that HE drink'. The Bread of the sixth day ( which we are now in) is His flesh, the living Bread from heaven, it is only offered on the sixth day of immortality.
This Bread can only be found on the 'sixth' day, the fifth day bread was corrupted and there will be no bread fall on the 'seventh' day!
This living Bread which came about in the three seasons of the Kingdom, ( matt. 13;33 the three measures of meal; the three became one whole loaf) ( mark 4; 26/29. Here we have the blade, the ear, then the full corn ' in the ear' ) We are now in the age of maturity , the three seasons of the seed are coming in to the full corn in the ear and the three measures of meal are coming into full formation of one loaf. The 'Son-seed' which fell at Pentecost is coming into full stature of Christ and the Holy Ghost will be contained within the Body of Christ.
We are on the high crest of consummation and a panoramic view of the Kingdom is appearing on the spiritual horizon!
The 'remnant' of faith ages of Hebrews ch 11 could not come into their perfection until this last age of the incorruption , this age when mortal puts on IM-mortality by eating the Living Bread which came down from heaven and gives life to the world. These all, having received a good report through faith, yet did not receive the promise;
GOD HAVING PROVIDED SOME BETTER THING FOR US, THAT THEY WITHOUT US SHOULD NOT BE MADE PERFECT.( Hebrews 11; 39/40)
All the former ages are now pressing toward this endtime age when God brings forth a the mortal creature into the very image of His Son as we all partake of that 'one' Bread and the Body becomes one with the ascended Head. This only, constitutes the fulless of the 'Bridegroom': ( Behold! He cometh, go ye out to meet Him)
Some of us have already been visited by the 'great cloud of witnesses' of the faith ages spoken of in Hebrews 11.
We know for sure that they are waiting in the 'wings' for this Life message to reach its full destination and bring in the wonderful manifestation of 1st.Thess. 4;17: ' then we who are alive and remain' ( the ones who have come into immortality) shall be caught up in the air ( in the spirit) together with them in the great cloud of witnesses to meet the Lord in Spirit.
We have been speaking here of the great Passover Exodus which is a process of passing from mortal to immortal by eating that Eternal Living Bread, The Lamb of God, which must be eaten with bitter herbs according to our majestic prototype found in Exodus 12. Please realize, these prototypes were lived out in flesh and blood, through suffering, through great trials and hardships for long periods of time, by a people obedient to God's every command, right down to the 'dot and tittle' in order for us of this age to have a clear account of what is expected of us, not only on our behalf, but as our obligation to those who suffered to leave us a monumental, panoramic structure of our journey as joint-heirs with Christ. This age has its own 'road map' and to travel in this direction one must leave the old behind. Many today are like the children of Israel in the wilderness, they keep looking back. They like to go back to the time of their 'conception' (Pentecost) and eat the left overs of an age of corruption. Like Lot's wife, they are all turning to pillars of salt and left as a perpetual witness to the deadness of that age. If we, of this age,linger on at Pentecost we shall remain as embryos in the womb of the mother church, and as the seed sown by the wayside, on the rocky soil, and among the thorns which never come to maturity for birth.
' THE GREAT PASSOVER JOURNEY' EXODUS 12.
We come to a place here where there must be a lamb offered up for every house. You see here, we surely have left the old paths and begun a new journey where we are standing on new ground, we are hearing new sounds and seeing new sights.
THIS IS THE LORDS PASSOVER! THERE MUST BE A LAMB FOR EVERY HOUSE, IT MUST BE KILLED IN THE EVENING TIME!
And they shall take of the blood and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses where they eat it! Brother you will never eat this passover unless the blood is there! If the blood is not on the door post then the death angel will stop at your house!
This lamb must be without blemish, a male of the first year………. ( to be without blemish and a male one must be in the Son, a jointheir with Christ)
………., verse 8, ' and they shall eat the flesh( flesh of Christ;Bread from heaven) in that night, roast with fire,(fire of His cleansing) and with unleavened bread, and with bitter herbs shall they eat it! Nothing shall be left over, that which is left is to be burn with fire!
Now. This is a 'new' way, a new day, a new Bread! This bread is the flesh of a lamb that has just been killed as a sacrifice!
They didn't just go out and gather it in, there had to be one found among them that was without blemish, a male (a son).
(v 11) …., ' and this is how you will eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand ; and you shall eat it in haste; IT IS THE LORDS PASSOVER.
TO BE CONTINUED……………..
