Cyrus received an anointing to open the double doors that could never be opened before. (Isaiah 45:1) He is an example of apostolic anointing in the Old Testament. Those who shared in the vision enjoyed the corporate anointing that brought personal success.
Here are some levers that we can learn to use to develop more of the character of Christ in us.
‘For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”’ – John 4:37-38
I attended a filmmaker’s course with an emphasis on screen writing at the Artscape in Cape Town, 2003. They gave us some points in character development that I found very useful. But looking at it from a spiritual perspective has really given me some Riches of inner Character:
Isa 32:1 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, And princes will rule with justice. […]
The Good News is that you can escape the fire of the Lord’s anger and receive His forgiveness for evil and sin through Jesus Christ. Get on the Lord’s side of this eternal battle and share in the spoils of victory!
By Apostle Andre Pelser with additional notes on Cyrus and comments from apostle Aje Pelser […]
Reformation is a PROCESS that INVOLVES the entire Body of Christ in spiritual WAR; redesigning MENTALITIESto seek KINGDOM realities that help us enter new DIMENSIONS of God’s spiritscape where there is a PURIFICATION and MULTIPLICATION of leadership that value INNER realities versus OUTWARD impressiveness; obtaining the power to generate WEALTH to GLOBALIZE the True Church of the Firstborn registered in heaven.
So we first have to humble ourselves and give over to Jesus confessing that without Jesus, we are not good in ourselves. That is called repentance. When we repent it when we stop and make a bout turn and go the opposite way. In the Bible the word repentance links up with the process a butterfly goes through from egg to adult. The process is called Metamorphosis. That is what happens to our lives when we give up trying to be a beautiful butterfly and let Jesus change us!
As one studies God’s Word’s, it sharpens the spiritual senses of discernment to single out men and women who had the ability to break and destroy the enemy and who could build a stronghold for the people to be secure. Although there were many, I have chosen Nehemiah, Ezra, Jesus, Paul as focal points. Other reformers have also been mentioned in the chapters dealing with God’s principles.
Then the Lord your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers. And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.
The main difference between personal fasting and God’s chosen fast is that when you fast it changes your personal wineskin to receive new wine. When you apply God’s chosen fast it is for others to benefit as the passage in Isaiah 58 reveals: “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke?”
Awake, O north wind, And come, O south! Blow upon my garden, That its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden And eat its pleasant fruits.
Here are some ways that we can disappear and reveal more of Jesus’ glory to our generation. The early revivalist churches had a note on the pulpit for the new preacher: “Sir we would see Jesus.” John the Baptist said: “He must increase and I must decrease.”
How do people grow in the knowledge of the presence of the Lord? Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. When we focus on God and His Word and practice His presence in the menial tasks of life, we eventually become automatically aware of His ever-present reality.
Every generation demands an anointing that is relevant to its time, an anointing that’s in touch with the time. When you understand the level of hostility that the devil has released and is expressing himself in, you’ll understand that the church cannot survive with anything less than a radical, authoritative, governmental and pioneering spirit.
Jesus baptises us with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Prophet John the Baptist prepared the way for the fire of God through prophesying and speaking into being the destructive process with which Jesus was to baptise. John understood the technology of God’s fire as he had himself experienced God’s fire during his life of separation.
Joseph was the first brother to be lost, and the last to be restored — in this there is a parallel to the apostolic office of the 5-fold ministry. Apostles were the first office lost to the Church, and the last to be restored and accepted.
Lies of the enemy are structures that harbor demonic spirits. We receive God’s Word by faith which washes us and removes the original lie — that of doubting God, and all of the other lies built upon it crumble. We speak the truth of God’s Word to combat falsehood. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
Sound is produced when something vibrates. The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.) around it to vibrate. These are some ways to develop patterns of Christ that release an unmistakable frequency.
The word fullness is pléróma. The image given is of a boat loaded with oarsmen, provision and soldiers to protect the supplies. It has everything it needs to reach it’s destination. Jesus came at the fullness of time, and the fullness of God dwells in Him bodily.
Faith works through love.
Love is patient.
Between the manifestation of your faith and the release of your faith, there is a time where you must exercise patience.
Our work has to do with the restoration of all things to the church and to the King of the Church Jesus Christ. Our work is spiritual.
When our work is done He will fetch us and we will meet Him in the air and be with him forever in the new heaven and the new earth where righteousness dwells.
We see it even though it seems afar off, we embrace it and we confess that we are strangers and pilgrims on this earth like our faith parents Abraham and Sarah and we will not be the last but the first to bring back the king by His grace through faith.
Job 42:10 – And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
John 17 – Oh Holy Father maintain a watchful care over them in your name, which you have given me, in order that they may be one as we are one. When I was with them I constantly maintained a watchful care over them in your name, those whom you have given me. And I guided them and no one of them were lost except the son of perdition, in order that the scriptures might be fulfilled.
As an apostolic people, we need to understand the inner make-up of a true apostle, knowing that Christ Jesus is our main example as the Apostle and High Priest of our confession of faith (Heb 3:1). Paul’s defense of his Apostleship provides the spiritual technology for unveiling the inner workings of an apostolic mind-set and behavioral patterns for an apostolic reformation church.
The only two qualities that Jesus ever suggested that his disciples should learn from him were humility and meekness. He never told them that they should learn how to preach or how to pray or even how to heal the sick! Why are these two qualities so important to life?
When we return to the Hose of God, we return like an orbit to another level of existence. Although it may seem like a repetitive sequence of returns, at each instance God has achieved another victory, fulfilled another promise, and changed another part of Jacob’s nature so that this orbiting back to Bethel becomes even more significant for us today.
Friendship in Christ is keeping his words and commands. That is how we stay in the sphere of God’s love – keeping His word and acting it out by His Spirit daily. It is actually quite simple: let the Holy Spirit remind you of His Word in every situation.
