Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory. 1 Corinthians 2:6-7.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
You who are in Christ have the double portion. You have the double portion of the firstborn as a joint heir with Him. You have the double portion of the Shabbat for Jesus is your Shabbat—He is your peace, and He gave you His peace. With Him as your Shepherd, He leads you to green pastures and restful waters of healing. A continual Shabbat blessing in Him. You have the double portion of the Sabbatical year in Jesus for in Him all your debts are paid in full, your sins forgiven, and you are redeemed from the slavery of sin and death by His blood. You have the double double of the Jubilee for in Him all is restored to you that the devil stole, including eternal life and the Kingdom of Heaven. Repent, return, rejoice, and I restore better than before.
If this is the case for all those who have received Jesus as Lord, why is it so many are not living in the double portion? Today I will teach you the secret of the double portion for it was hidden in Christ since the foundation of the world but has now been revealed to you through the Holy Spirit and the apostles. Matters into which angels long to search.
The prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look. 1 Peter 1:10-12.
Satan does not know the secrets of the double portion. If he had he never would have allowed the crucifixion of the King of glory.
Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.
He does not see into all the treasures hidden in Christ, but he knows they are there for you and he works hard to blind your minds to them. He works in the mental arena but you can trump him every time if you will stay in the spiritual arena.
Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him. For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.
I am speaking of the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory.
I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me. Colossians 1:25-29.
Everything is obtained through faith, including the double portion. Come to My throne of grace with confidence and receive it and gather it. It, like the Manna in the wilderness, is freely given but you must come and gather it. You must come to Me to find the rest and supply you are seeking.
One of the laws of the Kingdom is to give and it shall be given to you for the measure with which you measure is measured back to you. You have the amazing privilege of increase by giving for I give you the law of tithes and offerings.
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the LORD of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing which you cannot contain, until it overflows. Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes,” says the LORD of hosts. “All the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land,” says the LORD of hosts. Malachi 3:10-12.
I am the source of your supply and you open up My great storehouses by being generous towards Me, towards My Kingdom work upon the earth. It follows the principle of a farmer sowing and reaping, the more seed he sows the greater the harvest he grows.
Remember the parable My Son told about the man who had an abundant harvest in his field and stored it up for himself alone to enjoy, he grew rich for himself and not towards Me. His life was required of him that night and his piled up wealth had done no good for him. Why? He was rich towards himself but not towards Me. Being selfish does not benefit you like you think it will, the man that seeks only himself brings himself to ruin, but the one who seeks the Kingdom is blessed in everything he does.
There are Kingdom laws and principles, that if you obey them, you get Kingdom results. People treat the Kingdom like it is mysterious and hard to know what to do that is My Will and that results are haphazard and you never know whether I will do the good I promise or not, whether I will heal or not, whether I will provide or not. But this is not the case. My Kingdom runs on the laws, just as the physical world does, such as gravity, sowing and reaping, seedtime and harvest, and all the laws of physics and natural science. I established all these laws to run the world and all it contains, the universe and its vast galaxies in perfect order and renewal. If you violate these laws and are hurt, it is not because nature dislikes you but because you are not working with it but against it. The same with your physical bodies. If you violate what you need to do to have them function at the optimum potential you will not have good results. The spiritual is the same. If you violate the laws, the results are not what they are meant to be. Sin is lawlessness and keeps the Kingdom benefits from being able to work in your life.
If you violate the Kingdom laws for increase, healing, growth, and the like, the little you do have will be easily taken away from you by the devil. For there are only two kingdoms, the Kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness. Set before you each day are life and death, blessing and cursing, and you choose the one you belong to by the laws you obey. In other words by what you think, say and do.
But do you know what determines your choice above all else? The one you fellowship with. Your fellowship can be with Me and that will draw you into walking in Kingdom principles, or your fellowship can be with the devil which will draw you into walking in darkness and sin. And fellowship all begins in what you are thinking upon and giving your attention to. If you are focused on fear, offense, impurity, self-ambition, jealousy, greed, depression, confusion, sickness, financial worries, anger, unforgiveness, the faults in others, bitterness and the like you are in fellowship with the devil. If you are focused on joy, forgiveness, goodness, excellence, thanksgiving, beautiful things you see in the world and in others, healing, and the things you see in My Word and hear from My Spirit, you are in fellowship with Me. Above all it comes down to whether you have any interest in knowing Me, and that means an interest in reading, hearing, studying and doing My Word has written in the Bible until you hear My voice and know Me by My Word. If you keep your eyes, meaning your attention and your focus, on Jesus, and you see Him now in My Word as written in the Bible since He is no longer physically present in the world, you will have a life of increase, beauty, and good days no matter what evil comes against you. For in My Word are all the answers of how to overcome and have a perfect life. It all is based on following the laws of the Kingdom if you want Kingdom results.
And you can have the double portion as well as the double double of the Jubilee. The double portion is eternal life and you can begin that life now. And what is eternal life? My Son defined it for you as a relationship. He told you that eternal life is knowing Me, the one true God, and knowing the One whom I sent, Jesus your Messiah and Lord. And how do you know us? By My Spirit breathed Word. And knowing Me and what I do for you and in you gives you the confidence to come to Me with any problem that arises whether caused by your sin or another’s. And it gives you confidence to give and confidence to forgive. Confidence to love. And all this is based on confidence in My love, My forgiveness, and My care for you.
And herein lies the secret of the double double:
Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8.
Stop here a moment. I am able to make all grace about to you so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed. Does this sound familiar? Remember the year before the Sabbatical year what I told the fearful Israelites?
‘You shall thus observe My statutes and keep My judgments, so as to carry them out, that you may live securely on the land. Then the land will yield its produce, so that you can eat your fill and live securely on it. But if you say, “What are we going to eat on the seventh year [i]if we do not sow or gather in our crops?” then I will so order My blessing for you in the sixth year that it will bring forth the crop for three years. When you are sowing the eighth year, you can still eat old things from the crop, eating the old until the ninth year when its crop comes in. Leviticus 25:18-22.
In giving, in following, in obeying, in being rich towards Me, you will find your double double Jubilee blessing in everything.
As it is written, “He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor, his righteousness endures forever.” Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God. 2 Corinthians 9:9-11.
These promises were written by inspiration of My Spirit when My apostle Paul was taking up a collection for the provision of the needs of the believers in Jerusalem in the other churches outside Jerusalem. The privilege of giving to build up the household of faith.
For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the [h]saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God. 13 Because of the proof given by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your [i]contribution to them and to all, 14 while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you. 15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! 2 Corinthians 9:12-15.
What you have received as a gift, give as a gift and you will increase your capacity for receiving and giving. My blessings will chase you and overwhelm you. I love a cheerful giver for you are in agreement with Me. I love to give and I love to give with, in and through you. I bless you to be a blessing, until it overflows as rivers of living water running out of you to fill the world with the knowledge of My glory as the waters cover the sea. The manifestation of My goodness and My light in you.
You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Philippians 4:16-20.
And I would like to share one more Jubilee verse with you, for when you falter and sin you will need this to regain your joy:
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9.
I am for you, not against you. I counsel you not to sin, but if through weakness or hardness of heart you should, you have a remedy. The blood of Jesus. Come and confess your sins to Me and take responsibility for them and KNOW beyond a doubt that I am faithful and just (Jesus has already received punishment for your sin so justice is on your side for forgiveness when you confess) to forgive your sin AND to cleanse you from all the unrighteousness it has worked in you. Your sins and offenses I remember no more. They are gone, borne by Him who knew no sin but became sin for you all. That is the Jubilee.
I love you. Giving is a huge subject and it has huge results. No gift is too small and no gift is too big, it just needs to be from your heart in the amount you have determined with the wisdom from on high. It all has to do with honor—i.e., where your heart is.
Honor the LORD from your wealth and from the first of all your produce; so your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. Proverbs 3:9-10.
