СКАЧАТЬ one dies physically, there is another body, or house which houses the spirit; from there they advance on into God.

      The point is, resurrection has nothing to do with the literal graves in the cemeteries opening up and the dead bodies coming forth. Verse two of that same passage says, "For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven." In other words, His desire was to see the realm of Spirit from within, come without, and envelope our entire being. To desire to be clothed with our house from heaven means to desire to be clothed with the house from the realm of Spirit! It means to have Spirit released into conscious awareness and then into our Physical Bodies. It means to give outward expression to that which we are inwardly. Verse four tell us, "For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be Unclothed, but clothed upon, that Mortality Might Be Swallowed Up of life.” This is what the great and superior resurrection is; it is putting on the Spirit! It is not just Christ In us, but on us.

      Colossians 1:27 "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you the hope of glory:" In this scripture, the hope is not the Glory. Glory is when the Christ In us manifests outwardly. It is when we give outward expression to that which we are inwardly. This is being clothed with our house which is from heaven, or from the realm of Spirit.

      Company of Overcomers

      The resurrection in Revelation 20 has to do with those who will experience it while still in physical bodies. Everyone experiences resurrection, but not everyone is in the first resurrection. The first resurrection or superior resurrection has to do with a people who are laying hold of the present truth that is coming forth today, and are becoming God's availability in the earth. It will not be for a people who are seeking to escape. It will not be for a people who are seeking to be "raptured away" in some natural catching away. But it is for a people who are seeking to be "caught up" into a dimension of Spirit, so Spirit can find expression through flesh, and the kingdom of God can come upon earth. The first resurrection is for a people who overcome through the awakening that they are in the Overcoming One.

      Revelation 20:4, as we read earlier, says, "And I saw Thrones." The Bible is the best interpreter of the scripture. Revelation 3:21 records, “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in My Throne_, even as I also overcame, and am sat down with My Father in His Throne" The Throne belongs to them who overcome in Jesus’ overcoming. This overcoming is not in the flesh realm, or the knowledge of good and evil realm, for that is all in the realm of death, but overcoming is a working of the Spirit within us. The Thrones are given to those who, through the Spirit, overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil; this company of people is given a seat of authority or a seat of power.

      In Revelation 3 as John was recording the words of Jesus, “The overcomer will sit with me in My Father's Throne." The very next thing shown to John [Revelation chapter 4], because he Became Spirit in the realm of Spirit, was that he was immediately brought Into the Spirit, and saw a Throne; and he saw one that sat upon the throne, and he began to describe that one. He went on to say that around the throne were Living Creatures Expressing Life, And They Lived. Also Revelation 20:4 tells us that they lived. In Revelation chapter 4 John saw a people who were also expressing life, and a little later he said that there was a Lamb. John was describing a people who have come into a realm of Spirit, and are partaking of the resurrection, that lifts them out of the dead while still in physical bodies.

      ENTERING INTO REST

      John saw Thrones, and the scripture says that "they Sat upon them" which denotes a realm of Rest [Revelation 20:4]. In other words, they had ceased from their own labors, and were in a state of rest. It also says, in verse four, that judgment was given unto them. The word "judgment" means the ability to make decisions. This people had the Godly wisdom to make righteous judgments and decisions. They were not ethereal; they were not cosmic; but they had grown up and had learned how to think as God thinks. They learned to have judicial authority. They judged righteous As God. The scripture also says in verse four, "...And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness..." It is very important to realize that this portion of scripture in Revelation 20:4 follows three previous verses which deal with the adversary realm. Verse one tells us that an angel came down; and that angel was a message. The message which is coming from the realm of Spirit is placing a binding upon that old serpent, the devil, and Satan, which simply means Adversary and Accuser. There is a message that is making the realm of accusation and slander of No effect in our lives. This realm of slander and accusation is being placed in a bottomless pit, which means that there is a people in whom there is No Foundation to build accusation, slander, and condemnation upon. There is no foundation to build conflict upon.

      Accusation, Slander, Condemnation, and Conflict will begin to be removed when we first learn to Agree with our adversary. The realm of conflict begins to be removed from us, the moment we realize that even our conflicts have no power. Then we no longer fight them, but we agree with our adversary, we have a healthy awareness about them; and thereby take away any ground for them to build upon. It is following this fulfillment, that there are a people upon Thrones. One begins to rule and reign when the accuser is thrown down.

      Revelation 12:10 "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night." All this takes place within us, and when this does take place within a people, they will begin to release the Christ which they are, the moment the realm of the adversary is thrown down in their lives. At that point the accuser begins to become of No Effect.

      COMPANY OF WITNESSES

      The beheading of Souls that takes place for the Witness of Jesus, as recorded in Revelation 20:4, speaks of a people losing their life for the life of Christ, and putting on the mind of Christ. The word "witness" is translated in other places as Testimony. It is translated from the Greek word "MARTE-ROUS" which means, evidence given bearing witness, or one who gives evidence to something. In other words, these people spoken of here were giving evidence to Jesus’ finished work which could simply be said that they were giving evidence of the Savior, or Becoming Saviors’ as Obadiah verse 21 says. The English word "Martyr" means one who lays down his life for another; so to be a witness, to give evidence of Jesus, one must lay his new creation life down For Others! There can be no testimony to Jesus if one is Selfish! The scripture used the word "souls" therefore it is not talking about physical martyrdom, as in physical death. Martyrdom in that dimension would not serve the purpose of God for this hour. The purpose that is revealed today is that purpose which shall be accomplished through Living Martyrdom, through a people who are laying down their new creation lives on the earth, so that Christ can find full expression in and through them! Therefore, when the Word speaks of the soul it is very important, because the soul is the being. We were under the altar at the death of Jesus at the cross. At the new birth we received a new spirit and a new soul (a new being-New creation), and became one Spirit in the Lord. He (the new soul) that is joined to the Lord (new spirit) is one Spirit.

      COMPANY OF SPIRITUAL BEINGS

      Man is a tri-part being. These three realms have certain functions. In order for us to become a spiritual being in the way God desires, we must find the balanced functions of these three realms. Since the fall of man, man has been fragmented and dual in his awareness. Duality, fragmentation, and divisions are all evidence of the appearance realm.

      The functions of spirit are Intuition which is knowledge gained without recourse to natural reason. Another function of spirit is Communication, and it is with our spirit that we commune with God. Another word for "communion" is worship. Then the conscience is part of the outer realm. That part that must be purged according to Hebrews chapter 9 Verse 14.

      The conscience is where we judge either by the Mind of Christ or by the 5 senses. The 5 senses are connected to the body and flow to the physical brain. When СКАЧАТЬ
