Christine Beadsworth: NOAH, SET-APART AND SEALED PART 2 – Transcript of podcast

Remember we were talking about how Noah depicts the Bride, set-apart, sealed within and without and protected and walking on the waters of the flood? In Matthew 24:38, it says: “As in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage”. Now in the days before the flood, remember Noah was applying pitch to the outside and the inside of the ark. He was gathering food for the journey. He was a preacher of righteousness, úrging people to repent and I have to ask myself: what are we doing in the days before the flood? Are we like Noah, because, Beloved, it’s no good trying to apply pitch to your ark after the flood has begun; it’s not going to work. It’s not going to work to try and apply the Redemption Price, once the flood has left the Dragon’s mouth.

And so, in the days before the flood, what are wé eating and drinking? Who are wé marrying and giving in marriage to? Are we having love affairs with the world and being unfaithful to our Bridegroom? Do we have the Redemption Price outwardly, but within we are full of unclean thoughts and living for ourselves?

Picture the scene: Noah has painted the outside of the ark with pitch and the flood begins, it starts to rain. The waters come from above and the waters from below and he can’t even put the animals in the ark or install everything in the ark, because he still hasn’t painted the inside. We really need to be prepared in these days and to have understanding of the times and a sober question for Church Leaders, for those who call themselves Fathers is this, “Who are you giving your congregation in marriage to, in the days before the flood? Is it the true Bridegroom? Is it Him who is the Truth, the Way and the Life? Who or what are you asking them to embrace and are they being offered cups of mixed wine and the cup of abominations that the Harlot in Revelation is connected to - or are they being offered the pure milk of the Word and drinking of the blood of Christ, which is true drink?”

By the way, Jesus said: “Call no man Father, for you have one Father”, so what is this ‘Doctrine of Fathers’ that is going round the Body? It’s not true drink, that is for sure and its origin is nót the Spirit of Truth, because He would néver contradict ánything that Jesus só emphatically proclaimed. We have one Father and He is in Heaven and He’s the Father of lights and wé are the light of the world.

So once again: where you’re fellowshipping, are you being fed Danish Pastries in elaborate shapes and patterns with glazes and choc-nuts sprinkled on top; a dazzling array of choices, a smorgasbord designed to be seeker-friendly, but utterly devoid of true nourishment?  Remember the butler and the baker were shut-in; in the prison with Joseph? The baker’s dream involved birds eating pastries off his head and he ended up losing his head, while the butler, the cup=bearer, was released as the cup-bearer to Pharaoh. He was restored into his original position and as a divine networker. he was positioned right at Pharaoh’s ear for the time of dream interpretation.

So, it’s not time to be eating pastries, Bride of Christ. It’s really not time to be eating things that taste sweet in your mouth and sweet in your stomach. We need to be eating the true Bread of Life. We need to be like those men at Emmaus, who had their eyes opened to see Jesus in the breaking of bread. When you go to Fellowship on a Sunday or whenever you meet together, when the Bread of the Word is broken, are your eyes opened to see Jesus? If they are, then you’re receiving true Bread, but if they’re not, you need to reconsider and you need to go back to the Word and ask the Spirit of Truth to lead you into all truth. The Spirit of Truth takes that which is Christ’s and shares it with us. He puts us in remembrance of everything Jesus has said. He shares us the True Bread, the Manna from Heaven.

Just a little aside here: if you identify with Joseph and you’re wondering why you’ve been kept in prison longer than you anticipated, understand today that it is so God can put you on pause and keep you safe in the wings and have you waiting for His moment of positioning in your divinely appointed place of governmental functioning during the time when there’s a world-wide famine for the Word of God. Your butler friend is not suffering from Alzheimer’s. God is synchronising His clocks... He hasn’t released you when you think you should have been released. If He had released you 2 years ago, you would have headed off seeking Ministry and the recognition of man in a system that God Himself is seeking to dismantle and transform completely. 

Joseph was shut up and sealed in that prison, like Noah in the ark, until God called his name and then it was time for him to step into his appointed place. Until that time, God was putting input into him. The Spirit of the Lord was ministering to him in the secret place, away from the eyes of the general public.

Anyway, let’s get back to the Bride, set-apart and seeking union and closeness with the Bridegroom, wearing the shoes of the Gospel of Peace, which are closed shoes. Paul so clearly depicts the bridal heart attitude in Philippians 3:8. He says: “Furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” and the Amplified says: “progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it be mere rubbish, in order that I may win Christ”. There we have it again: My Beloved is mine and I am His, that I may know Him, speaking of intimacy.

Verse 9 says: “That I may be found and known as in Him, not having any righteousness that is my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands, but possessing that genuine righteousness” (that pitch on the ark, inside and outside) which comes through faith in Jesus Christ. For my determined purpose is that I may know Him.” Do you remember David in Psalm 27? “Oneness have I desired of the Lord. That will I séék after”.

And Paul continues in Philippians 3:10: “That I may in some way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection and that I may also share His sufferings”. There’s that referral to the drinking of the Cup of Acceptance: Where you go, I go. We are one. I am no longer my own. My Beloved is mine and I am His and as we are in Christ and He is in us, then we come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection.

Verse 12 says: “Not that I have now attained, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus has laid hold of me”. Not that I’ve already been made perfect...Do you remember the word ‘Kalah’, the root word for the word for ‘Bride’, which means ‘to make perfect, to complete’? Paul is saying: I haven’t already been made perfect, but I’m pressing on to lay hóld of that for which Christ laid hold of me. Christ laid hold of us when He paid the Redemption Price, that Bridal Price for us,  when we became betrothed to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. We are no longer our own. We are our Bridegroom’s. He has paid a Betrothal Price in blood for us and Paul gives us a key here: “One thing I do, Brethren, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. I press towards the goal to win the prize for which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward”.

Once a Bride is betrothed, what is lying ahead? What is the goal? The goal is the wedding. The goal is the consummation of the marriage. The goal is complete oneness with Christ and she presses towards that. Let me say it again, she presses towards that; thát she seeks after: oneness with Christ, wearing those shoes of the Gospel of Peace, set-apart from the worldly ways.

Paul just gives a little bit of advice to those he’s writing to in Philippians. He says: “Let us hold true to what we have already attained and walk and order our lives by that”. Walk in the shoes of the Gospel of Peace, Beloved. They’re part of your asiritual armour and you can hear the aching in Paul’s heart as he cares for Believers and says: “There are many of whom I have often have told you and now tell you with tears, who walk as enemies of the cross of Christ”. How do you walk as an enemy of the cross of Christ? You don’t wear the shoes of the Gospel of Peace. Paul says such people are doomed and their fate is perdition. Their God is their stomach. The Amplified Bible says: “their appetites, their sensuality and they glory in their shame, siding with earthly things and being of their party”.

So here we see Paul describing people that are supposedly Believers, but they’re actually living and walking as enemies of the cross of Christ. They have been betrothed to Christ with the precious blood of the Lamb, but they’re being unfaithful. Their God is actually their stomach, their appetites, their desires, and they are siding with earthly things, having love affairs with the world. They are not set-apart and sealed. They are not living that life which says: I am not my own. I was bought with a price.

So, when we read in the letters that Paul has written, úrging people not to have love-affairs with the world and to come and wash our soiled hands and repent and return to the Lover of our souls, be restored to our First Love, he’s calling us back. He’s calling us back by the Spirit of the Living God into betrothal. He’s calling us back into a place of being sealed and set-apart as a vessel of honour for the Lord.

So Beloved I just wanted to leave that with you. We find, not only in the Old Testament, but in the New, that there’s a call to the Bride to take her eyes off the world, to take her eyes off the things that pass away, to repent of her God being her stomach, of taking the gifts and the beautiful things that God has blessed the Church with, the Bride of Christ and using them to prostitute herself before other Gods, before the Idols that the World System worships.

God calls His people to come out of Egypt. Come out of slavery to the world and its ways. Don’t have fellowship with darkness. Put on the shoes of the Gospel of Peace fúlly. Take off évery other pair of shoes and every other understanding of the Word that you’ve fashioned to your own liking and place your feet fully in the shoes of the Gospel of Peace in these days.

Do you remember the story of Cinderella, how she lost her shoe and when the ugly Step sisters were given a chance to try the shoe on, they were cutting off pieces of their feet, to stuff themselves into that shoe? Jesus is not coming for an ugly Step sister. There is one Bride and she’s pure and she’s holy and set-apart and she’s drinking of the Cup, but at the same time, within, she’s drinking of the River of Living Waters, the Fountain of Life, that is flowing to feed her as she’s sealed and set-apart for the Bridegroom. She has His name on her forehead.

Do you remember the 144 000 on Mt. Zion from Revelation? I think it’s Revelation 14. They have the name of God on their forehead. They’re not their own. My Beloved is mine and I am His and they are virgins. They have had no relationships with other women. This is clearly depicted with the strange woman of Proverbs that leads the young man into spiritual adultery and gets him to eat stolen bread. We have to realise that in Revelation there are many allegories, there are many pictures. It’s not always talking about a literal 144 000. 144 000 depicts a perfect number, a complete number. It is the full Bride on Mt. Zion, following the Lamb wherever He goes. Beloved, wearing the shoes of the Gospel of Peace, in order to walk on the water of the flood in these days, will number you among those on Mt. Zion. These are the church of the Firstborn.

I had a vision the other day when we were worshipping and I saw a seed that had fallen to the ground and I saw it almost as underground, but it had burst open and there was a green shoot starting to come up and as I looked, that green shoot was actually a person worshipping and that brown seed looked like the ark. I realised that as we position our feet in the death of Christ, as we position our feet in that Bridal Price, that Redemption, that pitch within and without and we live and walk and move from thát place of being in Christ, that the resurrection power of Christ flows through us and we are that green shoot that grows and bears much fruit. That green shoot never leaves the seed from which it springs. That’s where it’s rooted. That’s where it gets its nourishment. That’s the place from which it springs forth and if you remember Psalm 110 AMP, it says: “In the beauty of holiness, from the womb of the morning spring forth your young men who are as the dew”. From the womb of the morning, in these days, God is going to bring forth His Bond slaves, His Bride.

Remember the enemy is bringing to fullness and bringing to birth something in these days, but the Kingdom of Heaven is also doing it. The Kingdom of Heaven is also preparing an army of faithful lovers. The Kingdom of Heaven has also been working on those who have been drinking from the fountain within and setting themselves apart as holy for their Bridegroom, being single-eyed. One thing they’re desiring: oneness they are desiring and that is what they are seeking after and pursuing, forgetting those things that lie behind and pressing forward to lay hold of that for which the Bridal Price was paid.

You Have Earned Your Flight Wings by Becky Porter

 

I see a vision of a metal aviation pin being pinned on someone’s lapel – it is something they have earned through hard work, dedication and faithfulness, and they are now being rewarded for it.  With this pin comes promotion – they are graduating into something new that they have worked toward, and it is something that is their heart’s desire.

 

I hear the Lord saying:  You have earned your “Flight Wings” because you persevered and refused to give up, in spite of all of the odds that were stacked against you.  I am well pleased My beloved, WELL pleased! 

 

You have learned to soar with Me above the storms, no matter the circumstances.  You have learned to put the flesh under and to walk in the spirit, rising above the battles and distractions that continually try to pull you out of place.  Well done, My beloved, well done!

 

Here is the poem the Lord gave me for this Word:

 

We are going on a journey, you and I,

And we are going to soar in the heavenlies, and fly very, very high!

I’ve been teaching you to stand, no matter what may come your way,

And no matter what is said or done – 

You’ve been learning to rise above the fray.

The battles have at times been crushing - bringing you to your knees,

And you’ve been astonished, and wondered,

“Why does this keep happening – how can this be?”

But then, once again, you remember

That I’m teaching you to walk by faith and not by sight,

And to look beyond the natural, into the heavenly realm,

And to know that no matter what, you can trust Me,

For I am the Captain at your helm!

We are going to begin to fly higher than ever before,

And the things that have been stolen from you I am going to restore,

And My many blessings, upon you, I am going to pour

As I release to you your many well deserved recompense rewards!

 

In searching a trusted ministry website called The Quickened Word, I found this: 

“Flying represents our ability to soar in faith!”

I did some research on the Internet to discover what it means to "earn your flight wings," and I discovered that it is often called “earning your wings,” or “pilot wings.”  I found these facts to be very interesting:

 

“Pilot wings are a symbol of the hard work, training and dedication required to earn a pilot's license. Aviation wings are issued to pilots who have achieved a certain level of proficiency or training. In addition, some flight wings are given as medals to military or civilian pilots with outstanding achievements.”

 

Joel 2:25a AMP

And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten—the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust.

 

Galatians 6:9 NIV

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

 

Matthew 25:21 NIV

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

 

Matthew 7:7-11 AMP

Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened. Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent? If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!

 

Isaiah 40:31 NIV

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS

Do not despair when things do not seem to be working out for you.  Refuse to speak negatively about your circumstances or lose heart, but quietly wait for My leading.  I will show you ways in which you can make the course corrections necessary to your victory, says the Lord.  Let faith, hope, and love be your strength.  

Psalms 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.

How to Best Prepare by Glynda Linkous

Oh My precious children, put your trust in Me, for I am your God, and I am well able to lead you where you should go.

You are like sheep without a shepherd when you continue on your own paths without My direction. You cannot see the path before you and know not how to best prepare.

Those in My flock shall be fed, and sheltered, and protected as they cling to Me, and Me only. There is still much for you to enjoy in the time left to you in the earth, only as you are about My business.

Keep your eyes on Me.

Isaiah 30:20-21

20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Proverbs 3:5-7

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Psalm 37:25  I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

HIS HOUSE IS OUR HOME by Pam Clark

Most of us know that there is a basic order to a house.  Usually there is the living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom/s.  These serve the basic needs for shelter, food and safe protected rest.  Of course many other things can go on in a home and do.  (You can watch HGTV if you want to know more!  ha!)

The Body of Christ is also a home.  We need to get a Spiritual picture of this.  It's not just the church building  location where we fill the need for teaching and worship onceor twice a week, but we need to understand the "living quarters" in the Kingdom of God.  These are basic things IF we are going to survive!

We are birthed into the Kingdom by being born again.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

We don't want the condemned life, and so we need "a place" in the Kingdom for shelter, food and protected rest and work supplies!   It's available!  We need to have a mindset of our needs in the Kingdom of God.  This includes "a place" and our learning and our duties.

When we get born again, we are no longer attached to the world, but to the Spirit of God.  We have a relationship now that is eternal with the Light and Life of God.  We are birthed as His life into this world.

We have a place at His table where there is food, a family who should care and share, and a life purpose to bring the Kingdom from Heaven to earth with all the delightful things that go with that.  These things need to be protected, so we have to find an order that works for that.  We need Bible instruction, that not only teaches knowledge but also how to carry out the Kingdom like Jesus did.

You get these things from being born again!

We need to understand our security in Him and how to apply that, through the alive Spirit word and practicalities.  We need to realize that we have relatives, because we are Family!

Because we have failed to see this function, many things are not working as they should.  We have failed to understand prayer for we have seen it only as a way to ask for our personal desires, however well intentioned those might be.  Prayer is a relationship and there is give and take on both sides.   Too many pray and don't hear.  It has to be learned!   There is a dynamic, spontaneous and life giving flow from spirit to Spirit to spirit that carries and energy and even nutrition.

When we realize that God has a Plan, we will find our own more significant and fulfilling!

We even realize that the bathroom serves the purpose of elimination and in the kitchen, where food is prepared and eaten, we are chefs who work out the best recipes for those who are around us.

In the living room we have a social life, and interchanges of information that keep us prepared for the days ahead.  We find out and discern what is necessary and discuss and plan future things that serve Kingdom purposes.  This is not about religion but life!

Bedrooms are for rest and quiet times and even for raising up family with intimate times in order to serve.  But this applies to the whole Body!  There are places where we need the personal ministry of addressing tears and  fears and sharing heart to heart with other people.  We have our secret chambers (the closet) where we go to God in our personal prayers and devotions.

There are many lost people in the world who believe we are only here to exist and make the best of it, passing the time with only work and entertainment, and while they get good at that, they miss purpose!   We don't want them to die without connection to the God who can save, heal and deliver them from every evil thing!  He has a Life, a real one, a big one and it means something!

This world is a fallen world, and while people may have some very good times, people really do not want to die or live a life without purpose and meaning.  Eternal life is a big thing that should not just be hoped for, come what may.  There can be a connection to a loving, life-giving God!

The Bible says in Mark 16:20 that God endorsed and confirmed His words and worked with the disciples - people who met and chose and followed Jesus and wanted to learn.  Here are several translations of this that are great to meditate upon:

NKJV - And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

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

NLT - And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.

NASB  - And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.] [And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.]

AMP  - And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied [it]. Amen (so be it).

MSG  - Then the Master Jesus, after briefing them, was taken up to heaven, and he sat down beside God in the place of honor. And the disciples went everywhere preaching, the Master working right with them, validating the Message with indisputable evidence.

We can't lose the fact that God wants to abide with us, co-habit with us, and find a home with us and in us.  We are walking function.  We are IN Christ.  "Christ" is the anointing or power of God that can change things, for the better!  We have to continually work at this and as we do, we will find His joy and purpose and full salvation in us.

Transition into the the next realm (upgrade) will be easy then. 

What A Waste by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

The Church is to blame for legalized abortion on demand; the Church is to blame for the SCOTUS decision to legalize same-sex "marriage"; the Church is to blame for the growing Police State in this country; the Church is to blame for America's war-mongering abroad; the Church is to blame for the growing influence of false religions in America.......
