Greetings,
I have had a few great days at home with my family and my church community. Today I am heading to California to be with family there. I am looking forward to being with kids and grandkids. It is always my happy place. Bonnie and I are driving the long scenic tour. We had a great weekend here in Bellingham and we are enjoying our summer months.
Jesus is seated at the right had of God in the realm of heaven. He sits in a position of authority, and He makes intercession for us (Rom. 8:34). As a temple of Holy Spirit, we are stirred in our spirits to respond to the will of God according to the intercession of Christ. We seek the things of above (Col. 3:1) and not our own earthly desires, plans, or visions in life. Jesus is seated in a place of authority for our sake that the enemies of God might find their proper place of being under the feet of the body of Christ. Those enemies are all manner of wickedness and unrighteousness that suppresses the truth of God’s love with a lie. God’s love for us is the love of a father and He sees us as His sons and daughters called to live in His perfect will of love. We are perfected forever in Christ and Christ in us is the authority of life that sanctifies us spirit, soul, and body in our journey of life (Heb. 10:12-14).
Ezekiel 47:2 He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side.
The north gate is the place of God’s manifest presence. It is with the manifest presence of God in our lives that we bring the testimony of the desired place in God to our world. It is new every morning. Like the rising of the sun in the morning, the water that flows from God to our world brings the life of God’s Day to our world. It is the power of God’s grace at work in and through our lives because of God’s mercy to us that freed us from all death.
Ezekiel 47:3 And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed.
God’s grace increases in our lives and God’s grace increases through the church to the world. The history of the church has brought about a continual reformation and restoration of life to the church. The church is the body of Christ, the temple of Holy Spirit, the family of God – the place where heaven’s grace invades the earth. The move of God’s Spirit in the past has opened an effective door for the earth to find the grace of the Spirit of the Lord that enlightens human hearts to know the just live by faith. That same river has given us a revelation of God’s wisdom in that we know we are sanctified unto God and our works are works of faith towards Him. Those works are empowered by the Spirit of Wisdom, and they make us different than mere people of the world. Humanity without God is humanity without the wisdom of God to move forward in the destiny of life. We have inherited an increasing grace of heavenly testimonies in the fact that there is growing external evidence of supernatural things from heaven. The Spirit of Understanding is giving us a testimony of being a witness of heavenly things. We are submerged in the Holy Spirit of God to be the holy people of God. We can know that we are the body of Christ, and the life-giving authority of Christ is causing us to grow in the testimony of the laying on of our hands and the ministry of Christ’s true authority of life. The Spirit of Counsel is empowering us to bring light to darkness, healing to sickness, and life to death in growing measures. Body ministry is a growing reality in the church. We have inherited a huge value for hearing God, speaking God’s word, and experiencing God’s manifest presence in our lives. The Spirit of Might has granted us a grace of being awake to God in new measures. Others paid a price for us to have such things in our hands. We have been growing in a testimony and an understanding of being the community of God with communion with God and believers. We are experiencing new understanding of intimacy with God and one another that comes by the Spirit of Knowing in our lives. We are living in increasing benefits of what God has done, and is increasingly doing, for us by His eternally flowing river. Each measurement of a thousand in the river of God is another eternal measure that cannot end.
Each generation before us has laid hold of essential foundations of life. We should grow in being justified by faith, works that speak of our faith, testimonies that come by being submerged in Christ, authority of body ministry, revelation of God’s voice and presence in our lives, and in brotherly love in new levels and dimensions of intimacy with God and one another.
Blessings,
Ted J. Hanson
