Thank Bro. Butch for torah teaching

WHY WE ARE MAKING THIS STUDY:

WE HAVE TO TRAIN OURSELVES TO LIVE HERE ON EARTH FROM GOD’S VIEW POINT AND REALM, AND HIS REALM IS THE SUPERNATURAL

I CORINTHIANS 3

• …2I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, 3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and ARE YOU NOT WALKING LIKE MERE MEN? 4For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," ARE YOU NOT MERE MEN?…

I THESSALONIANS 4

• 13But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT GRIEVE AS DO THE REST WHO HAVE NO HOPE. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.…

In the same manner:

WE DO NOT WANT OURSELVES TO LIVE LIKE “MERE MEN” OR “LIKE OTHERS WHO HAVE NO HOPE”.

WE ARE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE HEAVENLY FATHER, AND WE WALK WITH THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS WHO OPERATE IN THE REALM OF THE SUPERNATURAL, SO THAT WE ALSO SHOULD LIVE IN THIS REALM WHILE WE ARE LIVING ON THIS EARTH… SO:

THREE REALMS OF THE SUPERNATURAL….

Threes IN THE BIBLE

1. TRIUNE GOD2. BODY SOUL AND SPIRIT3. OUTER COURT, HOLY PLACE AND HOLY OF HOLIES4. THREE HEAVENSThere are so many other threes:- Three-witness rule of the law of Moses- 1st day, second day, 3rd day- Three great comings: Yeshua as Savior (1st), Holy

Spirit at Pentecost (2nd), and Yeshua as King

THE TABERNACLE: Three chambers = three realms

OUTER COURT -> HOLY PLACE -> HOLY OF HOLIES(BODY) (SOUL) (SPIRIT)

THREE SPECIFIC REALMS IN THE SPIRT:

FIRST REALM, FAITH, SECOND REALM, ANOINTING, THIRD REALM, GLORY.Sometimes also called the three levels

of WALK in the Christian life:You walk in FAITH.You walk in ANOINTING.You walk in GLORY.

THE FLOW OF THE THREE REALMS:From the Holy of Holies, to the Holy Place to the Outer court

OUTER COURT HOLY PLACE <- HOLY OF HOLIES(BODY) (SOUL) (SPIRIT) GLORY ANOINTING FAITH

WHERE THEY ALL START:

ALL THREE REALMS OF THE SUPERNATURAL (FAITH, ANOINTING, AND GLORY) ARE IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES (SPIRIT) FLOWING DOWN TO THE SOUL (HOLY PLACE) AND THE (BODY) OUTER COURT, to the OUTSIDE WORLD.

Why in the SPIRIT?BECAUSE GOD DEALS

WITH US WITH AND THROUGH THE SPIRIT.

I CORINTHIANS 2:9 However, as it is written:“What no eye has seen,

what no ear has heard,and what no human mind has conceived”[b]— the things God has prepared for those who love him—

10 but God has revealed to us by his Spirit.”

THREE REALMS OF THE SPIRITIS A FLOW FROM THE HOLY OF HOLIES

TO THE OUTER COURT

FROM THE REALM TO THE PHYSICALOF THE SPIRIT REALM(Holy of Holies) IMPACTING (OUTER COURT)

Revisiting the PROPHECY OF JOEL (Joel 2)

…29"Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 30"I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke. 31"The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.…

BLOOD, FIRE, AND BILLOWS OF SMOKE:

1. FIRST REALM, FAITH -- BLOOD (salvation)

2. SECOND REALM, ANNOINTING – FIRE (baptism of the Holy Spirit)

3. THIRD REALM, GLORY - BILLOWS OF SMOKE

CORRELATION (SITE, SITUS):1. SPIRIT – CO-RELATES WITH FAITH (Spirit is the SITE of

FAITH…)2. SOUL – co-relates with the realm of the ANOINTING

- activation/EMPOWERMENT of the mind, will and emotion (Soul is the site of the anointing)- weeping, laughing(TOUCHES SPIRIT AND BODY AS WELL BUT ITS DIRECT INFLUENCE IS THE SOUL)

3. BODY/PHYSICAL MATERIAL WORLD – co-relates with the GLORY (the physical is the site of the manifestation of GLORY)2 chron. 5:13-14

Inter-connection:

EXAMPLE: THE GLORY OF HEALING(also affects soul and spirit but the body is the direct part affected, or manifestation is now tangible in the flesh)

• EACH REALM BUILDS ON ANOTHER• GLORY TO GLORY (2 Corinthians 3)

FROM GLORY TO GLORY(2 Corinthians 3)

The Glory of the New Covenant7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in

letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was,

8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more

glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the

surpassing glory. 11 And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater

is the glory of that which lasts! 12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.

2 CORINTHIANS 313 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep

the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away.

14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.

15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is,

there is freedom. 18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's

glory, ARE BEING TRANSFORMED INTO HIS LIKENESS WITH EVER-INCREASING GLORY, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (HALLELUJAH!)

SO ALL OF THESE THREE REALMS (FAITH, ANOINTING, GLORY) START WITH THE SPIRIT

(SUPERNATURAL)

The WHOLE DYNAMIC IS

THE FIRST REALM:

FAITH IS THE PORTAL TO THE SUPERNATURAL

Faith IN THE PERSON OF YESHUA

“I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME”

John 14:6

FAITH IS THE BEGINNING OF ENTRY IN THE SUPERNATURAL REALM

1. Romans 1:17 – 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[a] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”[b]

2. I JOHN 5:13

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

3. ROMANS 4:16 FF - Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring--not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.

4. – EPHESIANS 2:8-9 By grace are we saved through faith, AND NOT OF OURSELVES; IT IS A GIFT OF GOD, NOT BE WORKS SO THAT NO ONE SHALL BOAST

Galatians 3:20-22

• …20Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one. 21Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. 22But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, SO THAT THE PROMISE BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST MIGHT BE GIVEN TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE.…

THE PROMISES TO ABRAHAM ARE OURS THROUGH FAITH – Galatians 3

• …13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-- for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE "-- 14 in order that IN CHRIST JESUS THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM MIGHT COME TO THE GENTILES, SO THAT WE WOULD RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH.

HEBREWS 11:6

6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he is and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

The realm of FAITH

• Galatians 2:2020 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live,

but Christ lives in me. THE LIFE I NOW LIVE IN THE BODY, I LIVE BY FAITH IN THE SON OF GOD, who loved me and gave himself for me.

• John 3:1818 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, BUT

WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE STANDS CONDEMNED ALREADY BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF GOD’S ONE AND ONLY SON.

THE REALM OF FAITH “I am the bread of life HE WHO COMES TO ME WILL NEVER GO

HUNGRY AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER BE THIRSTY” JOHN 6:35

7 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME, AS SCRIPTURE HAS SAID, RIVERS OF LIVING WATER WILL FLOW FROM WITHIN THEM.”[c]39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

JOHN 7:38

THE REALM OF FAITH

• “Your faith has healed you” – MARK 10:52• Answers to prayer requires faith – Whatever you

ask in prayer believing, you will receive MARK 11:24• Baptism and faith go together – MARK 6:16 –

whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned

• Salvation is by faith ROMANS 10:10 - with your HEART you believe and with your mouth you confess unto salvation

ROMANS 4• 16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may

be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[c] He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.

• 18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[d

]19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” 23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead

THE REALM OF FAITH• JUSTIFIED BY FAITH – Galatian 2:15-16• Romans 4: -- faith is miraculous and powerful• Galatians 6 – faith works by love• CHRIST WILL DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH –

Ephesians 3:17• We walk by faith• WE LIVE BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT – 2 CORINTIANS 5:7• We overcome the world and have victory by faith – I

John 5:4• Sanctified by faith – Acts 26:18

THE REALM OF FAITH

• SHIELD OF FAITH – EPHESIANS 6:16• SATAN IS RESISTED BY FAITH – 1 PET. 5:9• Faith RESTS on God’s power (not on men’s

wisdom) I Cor. 2:5)• We draw near to God with a sincere heart in

full assurance of faith HEBREWS 10:22• We fight the good faith and finish the course

by faith – 2 Timothy 4:7

THE REALM OF FAITH

• WE ARE SHIELDED BY GOD’S POWER THROUGH FAITH until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed – 1 peter 1:5:9

• We stand guard by faith – 1 cor. 16:13• We do greater things than Jesus did by faith –

JOHN 14:12

YESHUA is the author and finisher of our faith – HEBREWS 12

12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus (YESHUA), the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

WHY IS FAITH THE FIRST STEPIN THE REALM OF THE SUPERNATURAL?

HEBREWS 11:1“Now faith is THE SUBSTANCE things

hoped for and THE EVIDENCE of things we do not see.”

SUBSTANCE – HUPOSTASIS (Greek) – under structure, foundation, a setting under, a base

EVIDENCE – ELEGCHOS – certainty, assurance

WE MUST BE IN FAITH, WHETHER WE RECEIVE OR NOT!!! (Hebrews 11)

FIRST GROUP:32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about

Gideon, Barak,Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again.

SECOND GROUP: (Hebrews 11)

35…There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning;[e] they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.

• 39 These were all commended for their faith, YET NONE OF THEM RECEIVED WHAT HAD BEEN PROMISED, 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.

Faith DOES NOT OPERATE IN THE REALM OF THE NATURAL

• WE ARE “FOOLS FOR GOD”

• NOAH built an ark on top of the mountain• Faith will challenge you to walk on water• Faith praises in the middle for the jail house

THE FIGHT OF FAITH – I Timothy 6

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take

nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with

that. 9 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a

trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.

10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

I TIMOTHY 6Paul's Charge to Timothy11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness,

godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12 FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF THE FAITH. Take hold of the eternal

life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you

14 to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 which God will bring about in his own time--God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

HOW DO YOU KEEP THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH? TIMOTHY 1

• …18This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance WITH THE PROPHECIES PREVIOUSLY MADE CONCERNING YOU, that BY THEM YOU FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, 19 keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.20Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.

THE REALMS OF FAITH:1. PROBLEMATIC FAITH

1. THE REALM OF DEAD FAITH – James “faith without works is dead” JAMES 2:17

2. THE REALM OF “LITTLE FAITH” Matthew 17:20 – the disciples who could not cast out a

demonMatthew 14:31 – TO PETER WHO SANK, “You of little faith,

why did you doubt?”3. THE REALM OF WEAK FAITH – Romans 14:14. DOUBLE-MINDED FAITH – James 1:6-85. SHIPWRECKED FAITH – I Tim. 1:19

REALMS OF FAITH:2. “ALRIGHT FAITH”

1. MUSTARD SEED FAITHMATTHEW 17:19Then the disciples came to Jesus

privately and said, "Why could we not drive it out?"20And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. 21"But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."

“Mustard seed faith” versus “little faith”

MUSTARD SEED FAITH, like a mustard seed, is a “small faith” but genuine, sincere and pure.It can grow big, like a giant oak tree.

LITTLE FAITH seems to suggest that YOU PUT GOD IN A LIMIT OR BOX, that that is all that He can do.

MUSTARD SEED FAITH is the faith of a young believer that has much potential for growth.

Little faith is the faith of somebody who has been a Christian for a long time but still not growing in faith.

THE REALMS OF “ALRIGHT” FAITH

2. “MEASURE OF FAITH”ROMANS 12:2 “And do not be conformed to this

world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.3For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a MEASURE OF FAITH.”

THE REALMS OF “ALRIGHT” FAITH:

3. GREAT FAITHThe Faith of the Centurion (MATTHEW 8)5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to

him, asking for help. 6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”

7 Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you

come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

MATTHEW 8

• 10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such GREAT FAITH. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, AND WILL TAKE THEIR PLACES AT THE FEAST WITH ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

THE REALMS OF “ALRIGHT” FAITH:

4. GIFT OF FAITH -I CORINTHIANS 127 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the

common good.8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith BY THE SAME SPIRIT, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

THE REALMS OF “ALRIGHT” FAITH:

5. PERFECTED FAITH (James 2)…21Was not Abraham our father justified by works

when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, FAITH WAS PERFECTED; 23and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.…

THE FIVE SENSES OF FAITH:1. EYES OF FAITH – Genesis 15 (PROPHETIC

IMAGINATION) – “look up at the heavens…”2. THE HEARING OF FAITH - Romans 10:17 – “faith cometh

by HEARING, and HEARING THE WORD OF GOD.”3. THE TOUCH OF FAITH – woman with issue of blood

(Mathew 9:21 – “If I can only TOUCH the hem of his garment…)4. THE SMELL OF FAITH – … 2 CORINTHIANS 2:14

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. 15For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;

5. THE TASTE OF FAITH – See and taste that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8-14)

NOTE:

• “FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, AND HEARING THE WORD OF GOD” (Romans 10:17)

- Faith is VOICE ACTIVATED – WORD OF GOD

- Faith is strengthened, or weakened, by what it hears, because it is voice activated (it is actually SENSE activated)

FAITH BRINGS US INTO THE NEXT REALM OF THE

SUPERNATURAL:

HOW THE REALM OF FAITH BRINGS US INTO THE REALM OF

THE ANOINTINGPSALM 406 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but

my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.

7 Then I said, "Here I am, I have come-- it is written about me in the scroll.

8 I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."

HEBREWS 105 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:

"Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me;

6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.

7 Then I said, 'Here I am--it is written about me in the scroll-- I have come to do your will, O God.' " 

YESHUA, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF FAITH, “PERFECTED HIS FAITH” BY OBEDIENCE TO THE WILL OF THE FATHER. “NOT MY WILL BUT THINE BE DONE”

WHICH BROUGHT HIM TO THE REALM OF THE ANOINTING (Matthew 3)

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.

14 But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

15 Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented.

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. AT THAT MOMENT HEAVEN WAS OPENED, AND HE SAW THE SPIRIT OF GOD DESCENDING LIKE A DOVE AND LIGHTING ON HIM.

17 And a voice from heaven said, "THIS IS MY SON, WHOM I LOVE; WITH HIM I AM WELL PLEASED."

THE EFFECT OF THE ANOINTING ON YESHUA - MATTHEW 4

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit…23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their

synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them. 

25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.

IS THIS FOR YESHUA ONLY? - MARK 1615 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to

all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not

believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In

my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 

18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." 

19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.

20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

ANOINTINGS in the Bible1. Anointing to understand – I John 2:20ff2. Anointing, for healing – James 5, mark 6:133. Anointing of joy – Psalm 45:74. Protection on the anointed - 1 Chron. 16:21-

22 (“Touch not…”)5. Anointing to secure – 2 Cor. 1:21-22BUT THE ANOINTING WE TALK ABOUT

IS “ANOINTING UPON” – WHICH IS A POWER ANOINTING

LUKE 4 – Yeshua himself explains (AFTER HIS BAPTISM IN WATER AND BY THE SPIRIT)

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.

2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. (MATTHEW 4, LUKE 4)

14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.

15 He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. 16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and

on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read.

LUKE 417 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him.

Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 18 "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS ON ME, BECAUSE

HE HAS ANOINTED ME to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,

19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." 20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant

and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him,

21 and he began by saying to them, "TODAY THIS SCRIPTURE IS FULFILLED IN YOUR HEARING." 

POINT:

YESHUA WALKED FOR THIRTY YEARS IN THE REALM OF FAITH AND OBEDIENCE.

ON HIS 3OTH YEAR, HE WALKED INTO THE REALM OF THE ANOINTING (“TODAY, THIS PROPHECY IS FULFILLED IN YOUR MIDST”. Not 30 years ago, but “TODAY”, WHEN HE WAS BAPTIZED BY THE SPIRIT, HE CLAIMED “THE SPIRIT HAS ANOINTED ME.”

THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER, YESHUA WALKED IN THE REALM

OF GLORY!!!JOHN 171 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:2 “Father, the hour has come. GLORIFY YOUR SON,

that your Son may glorify you.4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you

gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, GLORIFY ME IN YOUR PRESENCE WITH THE GLORY I HAD WITH YOU BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN.

WHAT IS THE REALM OF THE ANOINTING? ISAIAH 61

1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,

2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,

3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion-- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

The realm of the anointing –ISAIAH 61

• 4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.

• 5 Aliens will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.

• 6 And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.

• 7 Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.

The realm of the anointing –ISAIAH 61

• 10 I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. FOR HE HAS CLOTHED ME WITH GARMENTS OF SALVATION AND ARRAYED ME IN A ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AS A BRIDEGROOM ADORNS HIS HEAD LIKE A PRIEST, AND AS A BRIDE ADORNS HERSELF WITH HER JEWELS. 

• 11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, SO THE SOVEREIGN LORD WILL MAKE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PRAISE SPRING UP BEFORE ALL NATIONS.

WHEN FAITH WAS PERFECTED, THE ANOINTING CAME (Hebrews 5)

5 So Christ also did not take upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father. "

6 And he says in another place, "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."

7 During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.

8 Although he was a son, HE LEARNED OBEDIENCE FROM WHAT HE SUFFERED

9 and, ONCE MADE PERFECT, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him

10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

NOTE: THE PRIESTLY OFFICE IS AN ANOINTED OFFICE

THE DISCIPLES: ACTS 14 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them

this command:"Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.

5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."

8 BUT YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES ON YOU; AND YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES IN JERUSALEM, AND IN ALL JUDEA AND SAMARIA, AND TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.“

Note: 1. THEY ALREADY RECEIVED THE SPIRIT EARLIER (JOHN 20:22)

2. THEY ALREADY WALKED WITH JESUS IN FAITH AND OBEDIENCENOW THEY HAD TO MOVE INTO THE REALM OF THE ANOINTING

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE REALM OF FAITH AND THE REALM OF THE

ANOINTING?1. In the realm of faith, SOMETIMES YOU

RECEIVE ANSWERS, SOMETIMES NOT; SOMETIMES MIRACLES HAPPEN, SOMETIMES NOT (HEBREWS 11)

2. IN THE REALM OF THE ANOINTING, MIRACLES ARE MORE CONSISTENT; IT BECOMES A MARK OF ONES’MINISTRY (ISAIAH 61)

GROWTH IN DIFFERENT AREAS

POSSIBLE:1. IN ONE AREA, YOU MAY ALREADY BE WALKING IN THE

ANOINTING2. BUT IN ANOTHER AREA, YOU STILL WALK IN THE

REALM OF FAITHEXAMPLE:

TEACHING – YOU MAY ALREADY BE ANOINTED HEREBUT HEALING – THE RESULTS ARE STILL VERY MIXED (REALM OF FAITH)

THE IMPORTANT THING: KEEP SEEKING, HUNGERING, THIRSTING

THE SECOND REALM THEN PREPARES US FOR THE THIRD REALM:

WHAT IS THE REALM OF GLORY?

The REALM OF GLORY is when the NATURE, POWER, PRESENCE, AND ACTS OF GOD BECOME MANIFEST AND TANGIBLE IN THE PHYSICAL REALM:

YOU CAN SEE IT, SMELL, IT, TOUCH IT, SENSE IT, BY THE PHYSICAL SENSES, AND NOT JUST BY THE SPIRITUAL SENSES.

IT IS THE SHEKINAH GLORY – THE MANIFEST, TANGIBLE PRESENCE OF GOD!!!

2 CHRONICLES 5 – the dedication of the Temple by Solomon

12 All the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets. 13 The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to theLORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang:

“He is good; his love endures forever.”

Then the temple of the LORD was filled with the cloud, 14 and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, FOR THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE TEMPLE OF GOD.

“Show me Your glory!!”EXODUS 3312 Moses said to the LORD, "You have been telling me, 'Lead these

people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name and you have found favor with me.'

13 If you are PLEASED WITH ME, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people."

14 The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." 15 Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send

us up from here. 16 HOW WILL ANYONE KNOW THAT YOU ARE PLEASED WITH ME AND WITH

YOUR PEOPLE UNLESS YOU GO WITH US? WHAT ELSE WILL DISTINGUISH ME AND YOUR PEOPLE FROM ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH?"

17 And the LORD said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name."

18 Then Moses said, "NOW SHOW ME YOUR GLORY." 

EXODUS 33• 19 And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before

you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The LORD.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.” 21 And the LORD said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, 22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”

EXODUS 34

• 5 Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the LORD. 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”

EXODUS 40 – when the Tabernacle was set up

The Glory of the LORD34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and

the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud

had settled upon it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

36 In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out;

37 but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out--until the day it lifted.

38 So the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel during all their travels.

YESHUA HIMSELF MOVED FROM ANOINTING TO GLORY (Matthew 17)

1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.

3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

4 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."

5 While he was still speaking, A BRIGHT CLOUD ENVELOPED THEM, AND A VOICE FROM THE CLOUD said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified.” (JOHN 17 – GLORIFY ME FATHER!)

PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF THE GLORY:

1. PEOPLE FALLING DOWN – (NOTE: GLORY IS “CHABOD” IN HEBREW, meaning WEIGHT)DOXA IN GREEK (doxology) – WHICH MEANS TO AFFIRM GOD’S PRAISE BY EXPERIENCE

2. WEEPING, CRYING, LAUGHING

BIBLICAL PRECEDENTS FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE ANOINTING

• "Some, however, made fun of them and said, ‘They have had too much wine’. Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: ‘Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. ‘These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning!’” (Acts 2:13-15)

Biblical bases for the manifestations:

• “The priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud” (2 Chronicles 5:14 NASV)

• “As he [Gabriel] came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate…while he was speaking to me, I was in a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and raised me to my feet.” (Daniel 8:17-18)

BIBLICAL PRECEDEDNTS FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE ANOINTING

• “My legs gave way beneath me and I shook in terror” (Habbakuk 3:16 NLT)

• “The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.” (Matthew 28:4)

• “ABRAHAM FELL FACE DOWN; HE LAUGHED…” (Genesis 17:17)

How about questions of DIGNITY AND POISE? DAW INDI MAN NI KAHULUYA?

• “I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes.” (2 Samuel 6:22)

• “People who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds like foolishness to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.” (1 Corinthians 2:14 NLT)

OTHER MANIFESTATIONS OF THE GLORY

1. Gold dust and silver dust

2. Gemstones falling3. Manna appearing4. Other voices being

heard singing and praising the Lord

WHY GOLD DUST, SILVER DUST, GEM STONES?

• The Scriptures reveal that God thinks highly of gold. He compares His own word to “fine gold” (Psalm 19:10). When He instructed Moses on the building of the tabernacle, God gave specific directions about the use of pure gold, pure silver, and precious stones (Numbers 8:4; Exodus 28:17–21; 37:17–22).

• THE EARTHY TABERNACLE WAS JUST A “COPY” OF THE HEAVENLY TABERNACLE

• WE PRAY “LET YOUR KINGDOM COME”; “OPEN THE HEAVENS” AND LET HEAVEN COME DOWN

• IF THE GOLD, SILVER AND GEM STONES ARE GENUINE, THEY ARE FROM THE LORD

WHY WOULD GOD DO THAT?

• Romans 8:32 ‘He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will He not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?’

• If God would send his son Jesus, anything else pales in comparison, even gemstones.

• WE SERVE A GOD OF GLORY!!! “The God of glory appeared to our

father Abraham when he was still in Mesopotamia” (ACTS 7:2)

AGAIN, ASPECTS OR AREAS: SOME AREAS ARE IN FAITH, OTHERS IN ANOINTING, OTHERS IN GLORY

It is POSSIBLE, and often happens, that:1. IN ONE AREA, LIKE WORSHIP AND HUNGER

FOR GOD, we experience or taste REALMS OF GLORY (gold dust, silver dust, gemstone, cloud, manna, etc.)

2. BUT IN OTHER AREAS, we still JOURNEY from REALMS OF FAITH TO REALMS OF ANOINTING AND GLORY (for example: our prayers for healing still get mixed results)

Where will you find this glory?IT IS IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES…

PSALM 91“1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

MATTHEW 6:6“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and

pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

GLORY IS SOUGHT IN PERSONAL INTIMACY WITH GOD!!

WHY SHOULD WE SEEK THE GLORY?2 CORINTHIANS 3

• 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a

] the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

ROMANS 26 God "will give to each person according to what he has

done." 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek

glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 

8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;

10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

11 For God does not show favoritism.

LET US NOT FORGET THE GREATEST GLORY REVEALED TO MAN:

King James Bible – GALATIANS 6:14“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.”

WHAT IF I HAVE NOT SEEN OR EXPERIENCED THE MANIFESTATIONS

OF THE GLORY OF GOD? DOES IT MEAN THAT I AM NOT BLESSED?

John 20:28 Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" 29Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

“LORD, SHOW US YOUR GLORY!!” (Exod. 33:18)
