But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. John 10:26-28.
So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. John 10:7-10.
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God says:
You are saved to the uttermost in My Son. Saved forever. Your salvation was planned long ago, foretold, foreshadowed, and is complete in every detail.
My sheep hear My voice, I know them and they follow Me. If you are not hearing My Voice there is only one reason, the same reason Jesus told the Pharisees. “But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:26-30. If you are not hearing My Voice then you are not My sheep.
How does one qualify to be a member of the “little flock” to whom it has pleased Me to give the Kingdom? I think you should like to know, because the Kingdom has everything in it you could ever need or desire in abundance, and with an abundance for every good work after all your needs are satisfied.
I am now going to set out for the you the path of Salvation. The early followers of My Son called themselves followers of the Way. Now, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, He is the great good Shepherd, but I set the plan out long ago based on the heavenly model. It was the design for the Tabernacle in the Wilderness that I gave Moses. I keep taking you back to that to find your way to the Holy of Holies where you hear My Voice. Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89.
- Enter through the gate to the Tabernacle. There was only one door into the Tabernacle court. It was the entrance gate which always faced east. And that is facing the sunrise or beginning of the journey, of the Way, and Jesus told you quite plainly that He is the door and there is no other way to come in to be one of His flock. John 10:7-9. So the first step is to come in the gate with your Savior Jesus, as if with an unblemished lamb who will bear your sins like a lamb led to the slaughter who is silent and opens not His mouth. Isaiah 53:6-7; 1 Peter 1:17-21.
- And just inside the gate you face the bronze altar. The altar of judgment. And all your sins are transferred to the lamb and He takes the sentence of death in your stead and is sacrificed and His blood poured out on the altar. For the wages of sin is death and the life is in the blood. And He bore your sins in His own flesh so that now there is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1-2. This is also foretold of Christ in Passover.
- Sheep follow and you are now walking the Way, so you come next to the laver of bronze and there you are washed with the water of the Word, renew your mind in the Word, this is symbolized by the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and are baptized into Christ so that you die with Him and are raised to new life, regenerated by the Holy Spirit to have resurrection power within you. This is foretold in the waving of the sheaf in the appointed time of First Fruits. It is here you become disciples. If you continue in My Word, then you are truly My disciples, and then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
- The second gate, this time the entrance is to the Holy Place where only priests can enter. Now, My Son has released you from your sins by His blood (bronze altar), washed you in the water of the Word (only priests washed at the laver) and regenerated you in baptism to a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart, His body, the Church, where all believers, Jew and Gentile, join as one new man with the rich heritage of the patriarchs and prophets and My Word and the something new, the Holy Spirit dwelling not only with you, but IN you. The promise of the Spirit through faith. My gift to the Church. This is foretold and fulfilled in Pentecost.
And this is the narrow gate to life, and you enter My gates with thanksgiving, My courts with songs of praise. The narrow way to be one of My little flock is the way of praise and thanksgiving. Very few find this narrow way. You would be wise to walk it out. There is no other way to enter the path to life and fullness of joy in My presence then praise and thanksgiving. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give constant thanks, this is My Will for you in Christ Jesus.
- The Holy Place, the place of the Church. And now you become truly My little flock for filled with My Spirit you can be led by My Spirit as My sons and daughters, Christ the First Fruits, but you the brethren of the first born from the dead. Joint heirs. And here you operate in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and I communicate to you a Word of Wisdom, a Word of Knowledge, faith, the gifts of healing, the working of miracles, tongues and the interpretation of tongues for the benefit of all. You have the fruit of the Spirit being produced in your spirit. And you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit from Jesus and speak in tongues and utter mysteries. Here you are living by Ephesians 4 and 5. And how do you become filled with the Holy Ghost? Not by drinking earthly wine, but the heavenly wine of My love by making melody to Me in your heart and addressing yourself and one another in psalms, hymns, and songs of the Spirit. And by edifying yourself by praying in tongues and asking for understanding of the mysteries you are praying.
- Next you enter into the Holy of Holies by burning incense on the golden altar of incense. This is symbolizing prayer, for your prayer is as incense before Me, placed by the angels on the true golden altar of incense before My throne in Heaven. Revelation 8:3-5. And in a cloud of prayer, the unceasing flow of hearts where you walk together in openness of heart to who the other one is, with the atoning Blood of the Lamb, which when you walk in My light continually cleanses you of all unrighteousness, you enter the Holy of Holies by a new and living way craved out by your forerunner Jesus, your great High Priest. And this is foretold in the Day of Atonement when the High Priest entered the Holy of Holies with the blood of the unblemished sacrifice to make atonement for the sins of the believers. This is not Passover but Atonement for those who have sinned after being born again. And then as I call you higher to step into the Holy of Holies this is symbolized by Trumpets. And the Blood you carry in to atone is the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur.
- Now you have stepped through the parted veil that tore in two when My Son died to take you in free from sin, and you share your life with Me and I share My life with you in a continuous flow that I call worship in spirit and in truth. It is the place of total oneness between us brought into place by My Son as God and Man. And it is there at the propitiatory I speak to you, the Mercy Seat, I speak to you through My Son as the joinder between us filtering My godhead to fit into your humanity and filtering the impurities out of any of those things you offer Me into the divine. And here you have entered My rest and it is easy for you to hear My voice. We have a constant exchange. Here you have entered My rest that I entered on the seventh day and it is the seventh place of the Tabernacle. This represents the Feast of Tabernacles, which will be forever.
To hear My voice clearly you must journey from born again (an infant in Christ) to a worshipper (the mature son that has attained to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of My Son, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.) And as a result, you are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, you are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
In this place you can plant and build My Kingdom on earth but I am the builder and the foundation is Christ, My Word. You are the active ambassadors through whom I can reconcile the world to Myself and bring all these things to pass.
In the Holy of Holies you have a new mindset. A mind set on the Spirit (set on things above where Christ is seated at My right hand, walking by faith in My Word and not according to the circumstances) and not the flesh (worry, fear, hate, no understanding of My words or ways, walking by the five senses with no allowance for the supernatural, eternal life in My Word).
I love you. You are moving along the path to Salvation when you are moving to maturity in Christ. And it is then you will hear My voice at every moment with no hindrance to the flow. It is then you are the little flock to whom I have given the Kingdom. Worshippers. WORSHIP IS A CONTINUOUS FLOW OF LOVE AND HONOR BETWEEN YOU AND ME WHERE EACH VALUES THE OTHER AND EACH FINDS THE OTHER PRECIOUS.
Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. Romans 5:1-2.
