Peace in Christ.
Again, we are to be His “firstfruits”….the first fruits of Christ…the 144,000…because we are to HEAR the Word of Truth and believe.
We are to be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures…of the rest of the creatures that are the “great multitude” of the people of the outside world who will see His glory shining through us (the firstfruits) and will believe.
Jas 1:18-19 KJV
(18) Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
We, His firstfruit people, are to be swift to HEAR the Word of Truth and be slow to speak and slow to wrath…for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God. When we become contentious towards what we hear, we are then not working the righteousness of God.
(19) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
(20) For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Why would someone be contentious? Because they do not “obey”…that is, BELIEVE… the Truth when they will hear it.
Rom 2:7-8 KJV
(7) To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
(8) But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey (believe) the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
His chosen…the firstfruits of His creatures…are chosen to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and BELIEF of the Truth (when one hears it.)
2Th 2:13-14 KJV
(13) But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
We are called by the gospel to the obtaining of the glory o our Lord Jesus Christ so that the people of the outside world may SEE that glory and believe.
(14) Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We, His firstfruit people, are to HEAR the Word of Truth and BELIEVE in what we hear Him saying.
We are then sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise…the promise of His presence…the obtaining of His glory that comes from His presence manifested in us. We are to be glorified with His presence in this mortal body.
Eph 1:13-14 KJV
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
We then become instrumental in the redemption of the purchased possession….to the rest of His creatures: the people of the outside world. We can then fulfill the “great commission.” The people of the outside world will then praise God because of the glory that they will see... that will shine through us to them.
(14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
After we have done the will of God, we shall receive the promise…the promise of His presence in our mortal bodies so that we may appear with Him in glory to the people of the outside world who are sitting in deep darkness.
Heb 10:35-37 KJV
(35) Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
(36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
For a little while (as we suffer the persecutions of the unbelievers in the man-based churches), He that IS COMING now, will arrive. He does not delay (in contrast to what the man-based churches are preaching as they preach that He is delaying His coming.)
(37) For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
With that receiving of the Holy Spirit of the promise (being glorified with Jesus in our mortal bodies), RIVERS of Living Water will flow out of our belly to the people of the outside world. They not only SEE the Light of Christ shine from us, they will also experience the living waters of the Spirit in their hearts at His/our presence.
Joh 7:37-39 KJV
(37) In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
(38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
We are to believe on Him as He opens up the Scriptures to our hearing ears in the Spirit of Truth.
When we obtain the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ in our mortal bodies, then He becomes a life-giving Spirit to others around us. We once were a living soul, but now we become fountains of rivers to others around us. When we are glorified with Jesus Christ, we then become His conduits of the rivers of life to the people of the outside world who are in the “desert”.
(39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
The people of the outside world are in the “desert.” They are the “sea” to which the rivers of living waters from our belly flows towards. They shall be healed.
Eze 47:8-9 KJV
(8) Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
Those of the people of the outside world shall live (receive an age-lasting life) if they are MOVED by His Spirit that flows from us to them. They will rejoice at His/our presence. They will be “moved”…to swarm. They will experience the Spirit of God flowing from us to them and will rejoice. There will be a "great multitude" of them who will be healed...saved.
(9) And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
But those people of the outside world who will not be moved by His Spirit that flows from us to them shall not be healed. A miry place and the marshes are not moved by moving water. They are still and are not moved. They will not rejoice in His/our presence.
Ezekiel 47:
11) But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt
It all starts with SEEING the Son of man….of whom we manifest to them. The word “this” does not appear in Hebrew and was inserted by the translators.
Eze 47:6 KJV
(6) And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen (this)? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
With this life-giving Spirit, we become fishers of men.
Eze 47:10-11 KJV
(10) And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
We can then fulfill the “great commission.” Wherever we go, we baptize them with the Holy Spirit (in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit)…the rivers of living water that flows from us to them. Wherever the rivers come, the believers among the people of the outside world shall be healed.
The believers among them (who are moved by His Spirit) will then listen to us as we shall then teach them to observe all things that He commands us.
Mat 28:18-20 KJV
(18) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
(19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
(20) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world (AGE). Amen.
The "desert" shall rejoice. It shall rejoice with JOY and singing. They shall SEE the glory of the LORD (by seeing us who reveal the Son of man to their eyes.)
Isa 35:1-2 KJV
(1) The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
(2) It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
