"Are not my people even now being led by me
to the land of promise? Are they not to
inherit that which has been prepared for them
through the vicarious atonement of the Son of God? I
say, they are being so led; and soon shall the first
ones cross over and enter into the full blessings
and power of the Kingdom of God. But first,
says the Lord, my people must enter and
possess the land on the east side of Jordan. Only
after this portion of the Promised Land is
possessed can a people go across Jordan and
enter fully into the covenant promises of deathless
life or immortality for the physical body, as well
as for the soul.
Now listen, says your God, and
I will show you what must be done before the
east side of Jordan can be completely
possessed. Is it not written that the people of
Israel had to first quit the wilderness and begin to
journey? (Deut. 2:3). Even so, my
people, you must turn away from the wilderness of
man's ways and turn to the Lord your
God, that He may teach you anew. For that
which you hast learned in the barren
wilderness of man's traditions has blinded
you to the truth and reality of the fullness
of that redemption which was provided for you
on the cross. You must reconsider, therefore,
that which you have learned at the feet of a
priestly caste which has been taught in
colleges of darkness. For they know not the fullness
of truth; neither do they teach even a measure of
the great spirit verities and realities which are
now available to the children of the Most
High God. Therefore consider, and awaken
yourself from your spiritual stupor,
and let the Spirit of Truth teach you anew
that the Lord has provided for you. For do
you not know that you have known
only bare subsistence in a wilderness outside the
fullness of that which has been provided by the
Lord?
Consider therefore the words spoken by the
Lord to Moses: 'You have compassed
this mountain long enough.' (Deut. 2:3). What was
that mountain, says the Lord? Was it not
mount Seir in the land of Esau? Even so have my
people been going in circles around the same
distorted truths which have been cast into the image
and likeness of Esau. And what does Esau mean? Esau
means "hairy" - even like a hairy garment. And what
does this portray? It portrays the fact that my
people have clothed themselves in the fleshly
traditions of man, and have settled for that which
is earthy instead of that which is spiritual. They
have settled for that which is of the deadness of
the flesh and the barrenness of the wilderness
Instead of the life-giving realities of the
Spirit and the refreshing waters of the
Promised Land. For is it not written that the land
of promise was a land of hills and valleys watered
by the rains and the dews which the Lord sent, and
not like to the land of Egypt? (Deut.
11:10-11). Therefore hear my Word! Take stock of
yourself; consider nor that which has been
taught you in the barrenness of Edom's land.
But hear the Word of your God and let Him
teach you anew that which is now available
to the children of God.
And now consider further, says
your God. The east side of Jordan is that
which must be possessed as a preliminary to the
crossing over into Canaan's land. What does this
mean to you my people? It means that the land which
is now occupied by the Amorites must become your
possession. And before it can become your possession
the enemy must be driven out. The word 'Amorite'
means that which is high or lifted up. Used
symbolically, it speaks of those who are elevated or
lifted up and given prominence and position. Even so
do the Amorites picture that which is hindering my
people from possessing their full inheritance. It is
the practice of giving to men the
prominence and the glory that belongs only to
God. Why will you continue to listen to the
voice of man instead of the voice of your
God? Why will you continue to elevate men and
give them prominence with all kinds of titles and
positions, as if they were the essence of all
spirituality and could do no wrong?
Now hear, says the Lord. I will have
my people give honor to those who are my true
ministries, but this is because of the ministry
and anointing which I have placed within them and
not because of the persons themselves. The
glorification of man's flesh is an abomination
to me. To elevate a man and give him titles
and a place of recognition and authority in some
man-made organization or system is a stench in my
nostrils. When will my people wake up? When will
they quit cowering before a long-frocked caste
educated in colleges of darkness? When will
they quit giving eminence to the flesh of man? I
say, this is the Amorite which blocks the way into
the Promised Land, and keeps my people from
progressing in that which I have
purposed.
Hear my word! You shall take the sword
of the Spirit which I have placed in your hand and
utterly slay the Amorites; spare not - give not heed
to any man's flesh. Give heed only to
the Lord your God and to those
ministries which I have raised up to speak my Word
in this hour. For that which is of me shall be
authenticated, and those who are my true ministries
will display the credentials of their God so that
all who are truly seeking me shall know. The day is
at hand when the hirelings will be scattered and
only the true shepherds will be able to stand. And
those I have raised up for this hour will be able to
demonstrate their God-given credentials even as
Moses in his day; for my anointing shall be
on them, and they shall speak, not in the
fashion of those who have been educated in the
colleges of darkness, but they shall speak as
the oracle of their God, and none shall be able to
discount that which I shall place within them.
These hear and believe, but from those who babble
mere words, turn away. Now bare your sword,
even the Word of your God, and begin to march
into the Promised Land - even that which is east of
Jordan - and conquer the land, driving out that
which is not of me; and see that you elevate
not man, neither be proud or haughty in your own
spirit, for none such shall be able to enter in,
says the Lord.
And now let us proceed further, says
the Lord. Did not the children of Israel have to
cross three streams of water as they progressed from
the south in the territory of Esau into the land
east of Jordan? And in fulfillment of the type shall
you not also have to cross over these streams
before you are able to begin possessing your
full inheritance? The first of these streams, which
flowed into the south end of the Dead Sea, was the
brook Zered (Deut. 2:13). The word 'Zered' means
that which is lush in growth; that which is
luxuriant and abundant. And what does this typify,
says the Lord? It typifies that fruit of the
Spirit which must be brought forth by my people,
even to maturity and perfection. It means
leaving behind the immature realms in which most
Christians find themselves. It means pressing on
into a place of tested and proven character,
exhibited by an absolute faithfulness to
your God in all of your ways. For
those I lead into the Promised Land shall surely
enter into those realms of the Spirit where a
perfecting work can be done within, and where the
abundance of my fruit can grow in luxuriance,
showing forth the beauty of my holiness and the
glory of my presence.
You shall notice, says the
Lord, that the next stream to be crossed was the
river Arnon (Deut. 2:24). The word 'Arnon' means a
rushing torrent, even that which plunges through a
gorge at a rapid pace. When my people are ready,
having exhibited their willingness to be brought
to maturity, then shall I begin to move
in a mighty way to bring them into the stream of my
purpose, and cause them to experience the 'rushing
waters' of my Spirit, even that which is
portrayed by the river Arnon. This shall be a
preparation, says the Lord, for the final
outpouring of my Spirit which is coming. For
first a preliminary and preparatory work must be
done. There must be the washing of the water of the
Word; there must be increasing experience in the
realms of my Spirit that you have not known
before, for only those who are willing to see me
move by my Spirit in a way that they have not known
before shall be able to continue in the conquest of
the east side of Jordan. For there is yet much for
me to do to perfect that spiritual Body which I am
raising up and joining together. Therefore prepare
your hearts, for as you press in you shall be
engulfed by a mighty stream of spiritual power and
blessing. Be not afraid, for I will encompass
you to protect you from all the wiles
and deceptive devices of the enemy, who is also
beginning to come against my people as a mighty
flood or torrent. But I shall protect you if
you will put your full trust in
me. I will give to you keen
discernment that you might know that which is
of the enemy. For the land of promise is a land
where my gifts shall flow in abundance and the Body
of Christ shall be fully liberated from every device
of the enemy, and my people shall be fully
built up and edified by that which every joint and
member supplies.
There is yet one more stream which must be
considered . . . the river Jabbok. This river was
crossed as the people pressed northward to conquer
all the land of Bashan, which was north of Gilead.
The word 'Jabbok' means outpouring. It was
the place where Jacob wrestled with the angel of God
during the time of extreme crisis in his life (Gen.
32:22-32). It was at the time of his return to the
land of promise after a sojourn of many years
outside the land of his fathers. Now hear my word!
As Jacob reached a supreme crisis in his life at the
river Jabbok, and as the people of Israel crossed
the Jabbok in their conquest of the east of
Jordan, so does this portray that time which is
coming when my people shall face the greatest crisis
that has ever been in the history of the world, even
at that time when my people are pressing into their
promised inheritance. For the beast powers of
Revelation shall be reaching their ascendance, and
the allied religious forces will be giving their
support to world government under the prince of
darkness. It will be at this time that a people will
be readied to cross Jordan into the full realms of
the Kingdom. For the Jordan River, which is the
mighty descender of death, shall be rolled back and
a chosen number shall cross over into the heavenly
realms of glorified life, and a yet smaller number
shall enter into immortality in physical
bodies.
Then shall take place the fulfillment of
"Jabbok", which means outpouring. For then
shall occur that worldwide outpouring of my
Spirit on all flesh which is promised in my Word
(Joel 2:28-32). This shall be the fulfillment of
Pentecost as I pour out my Spirit that a mighty
harvest might be brought forth. For the feast of
Pentecost was at the time of the wheat harvest.
During this time of great spiritual outpouring
which is coming, many more shall be readied to
conquer the east side of Jordan in preparation
for a full entrance into the glories of the coming
Kingdom.
Now the east side of Jordan is preliminary
and preparatory. It is actually the transition
from the wilderness in preparation for the full
entering into the Kingdom. Therefore it must be
possessed first. There must be both a tearing down
of the strongholds of the enemy, represented by the
Amorites, and a coming into the mature life of the
Spirit, represented by the brook Zered and the river
Arnon. That which is of man, his ways and
traditions, must be destroyed by the sword of the
Spirit which is the Word of God. And those who would
progress in that which I am doing must let me do a
perfecting work within them, letting me bring them
into ever greater realms of the Spirit. Then, and
only then, will there be a readiness to cross over
Jordan.
Hear my word, my people! Those of you who
have been quickened to an understanding of what I am
now doing, are in the process of conquering the east
side of Jordan. Think not that you can cross over to
the west of Jordan until this realm has been
possessed first. Many there are who want a quick and
easy way into the fullness of Kingdom blessings and
powers; but I say, there is no way except by way of
the east side of Jordan. Behold the pattern, and let
me fulfill it within you, says the
Lord."
