But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the great festive assembly and church of the firstborn having been enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:22-24.

Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:

Enrolled. You are the body of Christ, the church, those called out from the world to be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, My royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart. But there is much more and to live eternal life even now you must walk in this: you belong. Of what am I speaking? You are already enrolled in the perfect church, the one believers have been continually searching to find while they have had it all along. But not understanding you have divided among denominations and nondenominations in various locations throughout the earth. But actually there is really only one church—one great festive assembly of Zion. Everyone is seeking to find or to start the perfect church, but let Me just share with you. You already are enrolled in it if you have received Jesus as your Lord and confessed Him as such and believed in your heart that I raised Him from the dead, and you with Him, with all your sins gone.

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the great festive assembly and church of the firstborn having been enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:22-24.

The Church of Firstborn. One body, one church, sprinkled with the blood of the New Covenant by your great High Priest, Jesus, the Firstborn of many brethren.

To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure. 1 Peter 1:1-2.

You have already come to Mt. Zion and My heavenly city, the new Jerusalem, where the Lamb is in the center of the throne. I raised you up with Him and seated you there already. And I enrolled you as a member. Your names are recorded in Heaven as part of the glorious church.

“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.” Luke 10:19-20.

And wherever you gather you are assemblies of Zion, part of the festive assembly and church of the Firstborn in Heaven. And you are enrolled as a member with the whole family of believers in Heaven and on earth.

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. Ephesians 3:14-15.

You  belong to the church of the Firstborn. I have registered you in it upon your being born again and washed clean in the Blood of the Lamb. You are in the world but not of the world, for I have raised you up with Christ and seated you with Him in Heaven. You have come to Mt. Zion, the place of grace, to My city, the heavenly Jerusalem, to myriads of angels, to the festive assembly and church of the Firstborn, having been enrolled in Heaven.

For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. Hebrews 10:14.

And wherever you gather with other believers where the Lamb is the center of the congregation and you break bread, partaking in the Covenant meal of the eucharist, Jesus is there in your midst the mediator of the New Covenant. You must see beyond the walls of the church building into the vast assembly and church of which you are a part.

For it will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem. When the LORD has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning, then the LORD will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy. There will be a shelter (tabernacle, sukkot) to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain. Isaiah 4:3-6.

A canopy of glory is over you as you assemble together as the church of the Firstborn having been enrolled in Heaven.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you.” Isaiah 60:1-2.

And being enrolled in the church of the Firstborn though here on earth men are receiving your tithe in the physical realm but you are not actually tithing to them. You are tithing to your great High Priest, Jesus, it is He who is receiving your tithes and offering no matter in which church institution you are paying them on earth.

In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that He lives on. Hebrews 7:8.

When you celebrate the Covenant meal of communion you declare the death of Jesus—the cutting of the New Covenant by the shedding of His blood, until He comes, but in tithing you declare that He lives forever as your great High Priest according to the Order of Melchizedek.

The word you translate as “church” in English is “ekklésia” (κκλησία,) in Greek. The word “ekklēsía” is made up of the word “ek,” which means “out from and to” and “kaléō,” which means “to call” – that is, people called out from the world by Me, the outcome being the church (the body of Christ) – i.e., the universal (total) body of believers whom I call out from the world and into My eternal kingdom.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10.

The church is huge, everyone in Heaven is enrolled in it as well as every believer on earth. If you are not enrolled you cannot enter Heaven, for without being born again you cannot enter or even see the Kingdom. And being enrolled and registered, the membership roll, is none other than the Lamb’s book of life.

In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed; and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Revelation 21:25-27.

And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15.

I love you. I have registered and enrolled you in the Church of the Firstborn and that unlocks every spiritual blessing in Heaven to you. Do not limit your thoughts to your building or the congregation you know for your idea of church. Always look to the head of the body, Jesus, the Firstborn, and know that all your worship, praise, tithes and offerings are being given to Him. No one enters that glorious Kingdom who is not enrolled and registered in the Church. For Jesus is the only way into Heaven.
