Although the nature and character of God never changes, His emphasis in smaller season of our lives and in epic ages of time. Each change is sovereignly ordained and we are empowered the greatest as we learn to discern and flow with Father's emphasis.
Jesus had been our mediator for nearly 2000 years... and will always be the entry point for every hungry pilgrim coming into the Kingdom. But it seems that there is a time in our maturation process that Jesus 'hands us off' to the Father... making us go directly to the Father... just like He does.
This emphasis is very strategically timed in all sufficiently matured sons, but it seems like this emphasis is being highlighted in an epic way as we enter a new era of time. Learning the ways of our Father will be paramount as we enter Heavenly places.
Jesus and Father have been expecting this: Matt 11:27, John 16:23-27
[Music] I'd like to throw a little colorization uh maybe a
little uh Paradigm into this thing with angels and father and how it is uh speaking to and inviting
us into maturity maturity of sons maturity of sons and daughters uh think of Jesus he came and of
course we were scared of the father we didn't even know God as father Jesus the one who introduced
Jesus introduced God as father because God was scary and you know he caused the Earth to open up
and swallow up 30,000 or whatever you know
this was a this was a scary God and so father says you
know what What U I'm going to send Jesus to win your hearts so Jesus was god with skin on and it's
the only way we could begin to have relationship with a God that seemed so scary now we have a
god who's manifest in human form and he does good things for us he meets us at our felt need
as Emy pointed out while ago I'm thirsty I want a drink and Jesus came and met us at our drink need
our need for drink he went to the cupboard got the c
up went to the faucet got the water handed it
to us and helped us so we didn't dribble too much down our shirt he was a good God Jesus was super
he was the only way to the father we had to come through him to get there now the crazy thing is
at the end of Jesus ministry he says now I want to give you something better it's better that
I leave I'm going to give you something better than me now that just s that just does not sound
right Jesus what are you talking about you're the only way to t
he father you said everybody's got
to come through you and now you say that we can uh have There's A Better Way yep it's called Holy
Spirit now what I'm wanting to do here is build a precedent build a precedent the precedent is
that John that God does change his character doesn't change his nature doesn't change he's the
same yesterday today and forever in his character and nature but his emphasis changes his wholesale
Grace outpourings from Heaven change over time we know that that's easy
Judaism was God's emphasis
in the Old Testament actually only during uh a 2 year um uh roughly a 2,000 year period and then he
changed completely to the New Covenant and Jesus now institutes teaches on access to the father
through him then only 33 years later God changes everything again says I'm going to give you Holy
Spirit oh my gosh it took 2,000 years for the one emphasis now it takes 33 years for a new emphasis
my gosh God you know but he's building something he's constructing somethi
ng in us a belief
system that we don't build on religion we build on a vital vibrant relationship with father
and we go with him through those time periods now for roughly 2,000 years we've been in a holding
pattern what most of us call the church age and so we have tried to promulgate the teachings of
the uh Church uh Salvation even baptism of Holy Spirit we lost it largely through the Dark Ages
but in the last 200 to 300 years it's been gained back we've gained back much of what we lost a
nd so
now it's becoming very real to us again I maintain that God is doing and I think we all agree I
maintain that God is doing a very new emphasis and he's doing what Jesus said in John 16 and O uh
Owen referenced it a while ago that we now Having learned the personality in the heart of Father
we're learning we can go directly to the father Just Like Jesus Does will we love Jesus we will
always love Jesus we if if there's sin it always has to go through the cross never will that change
a
s far as I know that will always be our entryway but I don't know that Jesus ever said that he was
the end all in fact he said I'm going to point you to the father and that in that day you will go
directly to the father you will not pray in my name and if you do pray in my name I'm not saying
I will pray the father for you wow that's crazy now let me tie in a couple more things some
of us many of us know the name Ron Jones Ron Jones a friend of Dr o kind of one his one of his
mentees and uh
Ron Jones is a house of fire he's a fire hose of Revelation and he he maintains that
when Jesus said You shall do greater things than I that one of those definitions or interpretations
of greater things is that we will go straight to the father we will know what it is uh let me back
up we will know the magnitude of our identity in God we will know the magnitude of our identity
in Father's Eyes we will know the magnitude of wealth of uh spiritual richness that we possess
and that we have po
tential of walking in that has largely been hidden from us because we've been
basically just Earthly humans trying to get a God to come help us we didn't know that we carried
the glory of God in us at this very moment we did not know even though we had the correct theology
when we said Christ in us the hope of glory even though we had the correct theology that says we're
seated with Christ we did not know the reality of what that meant and so we live largely apart at
a distance even though
we had good theology so I believe that God has looked around and he's saying
Jesus I think it's time that you reveal the father reveal me to them there's two verses I think I
put in one of your last emails Jesus says no man knows the father except the son no one knows the
son except the father then he goes on to say but no one knows the father except for those that
I reveal the father two twice that's mentioned in the gospels I think that Jesus watches us and
he he watches over the stirring
s the posturings the musings of our heart and he says oh you're
getting comfortable with me and you're getting to understand that if you've seen me you've also
seen the father wow you've also seen the father father and so Jesus says you know what it's time
I'm going to pull back the curtains I'm going to open the door hey come on in to the age of the
Father the age of the father now I don't know if that's what this age is going to be called
like Owen says you know we've all called it basica
lly the kingdom age is it going to be
the Angelic age is it going to be the glory of God age is it is going to be the sons of God
age I don't know it could be called the the age of the father when father God is opened up to
us and our hearts are so entrenched so anchored in devotion and Allegiance and loyalty to the
godhead that some shiny new squirrel a shiny new object or some fancy Heavenly squirrel like
an angel even even though it is truly wonderful to behold it will not compromise our
loyalty and
love for father while at the same time we'll find ourselves able to freely move into Discovery and
even partnership even BFF with Angelic and Saints of the Heavenly Host so there's my kind of my my
big picture at least as big as it gets at this point okay since you said it I have it pulled
up here I got to read this is going to disturb you well not us cuz we're at the choir but Joe if
you say this you're going to be in trouble you're going to be in ion class this is Hebrews 6 1
-3 now
look at this first phrase therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ oh oh that is
a troublemaker right there just unpack that I mean everything's have been about Christ and he says
we want to leave the doctrines of Christ now you know just every we're grown up here so we're
not you know creating some new doctrines but that'll disturb you let us go on into Perfection
Chuck not laying again the foundation of the pr uh repentance from dead works we we referenced
that w
hile ago repentance repentance repentance not laying that again let's move on and of Faith
towards God that's another one we got to leave behind in another word not leave it behind but
not have to lay that Foundation again then of doctrines of baptisms and of laying on of hands
and of resurrection of the Dead what resurrection of the Dead is Elementary but he says then uh
oh end of Eternal judgment okay end of sentence then here's the last one he says and this we
will do if God permits I do
n't know that Paul he was on to something he was on to something
he was he was like my heart yearns it yearns to get beyond the baby pum beyond the Gerber baby
food I want to move into the stuff that my mature heart now needs in order in order to nurture
it so I don't know if that grabs you like it grabs me but that's my heart you know just and I
think that's all of our hearts I know it is that we want to move on into the stuff that is more
appropriately fitted for our maturity level at whe
re we're at at this time I feel like the Lord
is kind of recap is uh inviting us intreating us into a union with him that uh huh and it's going
to take a while but it's uh weaning from religion while at the same time loving every heart All
Along The Journey from the pre- Christians to the newbies to the seasoned and so that's going
to be a little bit of a challenge for us cuz uh you know whatever we're into that's kind of the
hottest latest greatest and only thing we want to talk about but
uh but the Lord's going to help us
but I just do really believe that father is saying I want you to come into Union with me it's time
that I'm opening the door Jesus is actually open the door I Think Jesus actually revealing the
father and uh he said now you guys let's go in together G look at this Jesus arm in- arm with
us come on let's go to the father together and uh that's a a fascinating and actually a very
inspiring thought to me a picture that I think needs more painting needs more R
ama by each of
us and you know in our discussions like today uh there were some Crux things phraseologies and
and Concepts that just had the juice of Heaven on it you know us as we're getting seasoned and
establish and how to flow together learning how to stay where the juice is and if father is saying
look at me it would just stay in that look at me posture [Music]
