CONTD. FROM PART XII

Dear Saints, here is another illustration of the church and God's move in His administration of the divine economy." The church is the springing of a source of a big river which started as a minor spring in a desert of humanity which has lost touch with God." The source of that river is God Himself, who comes down as Jesus Christ, and began to spread the river and to water the land to generate edible and useful vegetation.His Excellency The Holy Spirit is the force or power that meanders the river to recover the lost vegetation.The river of life therefore is Jesus Christ.This river provided life in the "Garden of Eden" and continues to do so today.

All ye who are thirsty and heavy laden with the precarious calamities of the desert without life, please draw near to this river and drink freely from it. Throw yourself in such a river by faith (2 Kings 5:14;Luke 5:13), and your diseases and sickness will be soothed and even healed.The river has no measuring meter, you are not bound to pay, so drink from or bath yourself indefinite,in it for its free.These past months the Lord has burdened us to extend an invitation to all sundry to come freely for peace and tranquillity even in the mist of all calamities.Servants of the Most High and leading saints are to pay head to, how they care for or serve in the kingdom of God.

"FOR EACH MEMBER OF THE CHURCH IS VERY PRECIOUS TO GOD , BOUGHT AT AN IMMEASURABLE PRICE:JESUS CHRIST."

Brethren let us join the Lord as He revealed this wisdom through His Word over four to five thousand years ago, through a vision given to Ezekiel and many saints before and with us now.This is very relevant today as the "Word" of God is ever fresh.We have been dealing with Chap.1:4-28.Please pray read the verses first, and then follow the expounding which will raise your appetite for God.

V 19:That the wheels follow the living creatures indicates that if we move in faith( as I explained above; we, and especially the leading members should encourage the believers to move in faith and not to trust their stories of prosperity and other irrelevant stories to the move of the Lord), the Lord will follow our move.

V.20: The wheels follow the creatures (v.19,21), and the creatures follow the Spirit (Using our spirit controlled by the indwelt Spirit of God we can and do often have the mind of God and hear His voice making it easier to hear and follow Him), the Spirit is in the wheels. This indicates that we are one with the Lord, and He is one with us(1 Cor.6:17).The Lord follows us, and we follow the Spirit, and the Spirit is in the wheels. Get the spiritual understanding, of this practical illustration, which shows to mortal men the workings of the Lord and His Spirit in His Church/Bride which John saw in his vision concerning the New Jerusalem.

The phrase “Spirit of the living creature," was in the wheel: referred to the living creatures.

V.21: So the structured living creatures stood where the Spirit stood. The living creatures went wherever the Spirit went, whenever the Spirit is lifted up here on earth; the wheels were lifted up along side them. For the Spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. Hallelujah for the/our lifting up of the Spirit.which glorifies the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. V.22: Based on the experiences signified in v. 4-21 in Ezekiel 1,the spiritual sky over the heads of the living creatures is crystal clear, like a greater expanse of awesome crystal. Furthermore, the sky is expanding and is as stable, unchanging, as crystal. In such a situation, there is nothing between the living creatures and God and nothing between them and another. They have a thorough fellowship with the Lord and with one another (such fellowship and blending heightens the expanse and depth of our union in Christ.

This requires the maintaining of a pure conscience without offence toward God and Man( Acts.24:16 ).

V.23: The wings of the living creatures going straight out signifies that under a clear and expanding sky we can have the adequate and proper coordination, a coordination that is altogether straight, with nothing crooked (ref. To my earlier explanation on verse 7 the initial paragraph).

The using of two wings to cover the living creatures indicates that in the coordination we should not display ourselves but should hide ourselves under the lord's grace (2 Cor.3:3-5;12:9; Phil.3:3).Sadly the advent of many is to display themselves as though they own the church or they are so indispensable or are the only knowledgeable ones amongst the brethren) Also see the explanation I gave in verse 11 the third paragraph.

V.24: The voice coming out of the wings that were joined to one another is the testimony of the living creatures. This indicates that the voice of the testimony of any local church must be the voice of a corporate, coordinated body, a voice that comes out of proper coordination( cross reference Acts 2:14). Such a testimony will be strong, like the sound of great waters; moreover, it will be the voice of God Himself and the voice of an army fighting the battle for God's economy.

V.25: “The voice from above the expanse,” this voice is God's. The living creatures standing still and dropping their wings indicates that they know not only how to speak and sound forth their voice but also knows how to listen to God's voice (cross reference Exo.21:5-6; Isa.50:4-5; Luke 10:38-42). Brethren I choose this example of how the organic church is run, if I am permitted to us that term, and by who including the roles the Stake Holder, allows of the other saints to pray various earthly roles. This is without argument that men are found useful in His arrangement.

V.26.The four living creatures are not only for the manifestation of the Lord and not only for the move of the Lord but also for the administration, the government, of the Lord. Note: the emphasis of the living creatures being used for God's administration, government and move of the Lord, is an indication also of the use of them by God. So the Lord is among them and above them for His manifestation, move, and government." By the way there is free New Testament for all , so contact us for one.Blessed are they that finds the time in the middle of the vanity world to seek for the pearl of life in Jesus Christ the "Hidden Manna"
