Perhaps some would suggest others, but as one who also counts himself as a person who listens inside heaven's door for the next corporate Word to the church, and has done so since being baptised in the Spirit in 1972, I know of none.
Before we commence this series which I have intended to do for about a month, something occurred over the weekend that I felt was a real key. You see unless you happen to be a student of Jacob Boehme from the 1600s or Fenelon, Guyon or Molinos, this inner trek into Christ might seem really bizarre. Many are the people in both the evangelical and charismatic movements who actually decry it.
In the evangelical church anything outside of the immediate grasp of the thin portion of our leftbrain frontal cortex known as our conscious step by step thinking and articulating mind, is considered as bogus. But in the charismatic wing where this "moving out beyond" is the norm, otherwise known as true repentance or "meta- noia"..moving beyond the nous (pronounced NOWCE)...it is still largely regarded as navel gazing. In both wings of the church there is a deep distrust that we can ever rely on the deepest parts of our heart to know anything. And this is sad, because that precise area is where we get to really know everything, if we are going to know a matter at all.
Both this blog, and thirdlevel teaching is not some fad, some passing fancy. As yet, it is in fact just the size of a cloud as big as a man's hand. But as more and more race inward and actually perform what was prophesied about the end generation in Psalm 110 and Psalm 24.....reference finding the order of Melchizedek, and seeking the face of God like Jacob at Peniel....
the more people are going to be "splitting the atom".
Splitting the atom ...
is a Chris Welch jargon phrase which refers back to something I said to Barbara Rogerson in Romford. I felt the small groups who were starting to work with the thirdlevel revelation of Galations 2:20 were exactly like the scientists in the USA who were working on splitting the atom during the 1939-45 War. While the whole of the rest of the military were caught up in the theatre of war...and I use that precise phrase assuredly, these scientists appeared a backroom nonentity. They weren't ofcourse, as history shows. You could say the same equally about the cracking of the code of the Enigma machine at Bletchley Park, for they were the ones who laid many of the ground rules for all computing to come.
But the Americans ofcourse came up with the Hiroshima bomb which ended the war. The third level is the actual operation of the born again Christ life. It may look small but it is the actual key as Norman Grubb shares, to everything. It's a huge glory explosion waiting to go off!
The third level is HERE NOW. It was always here. It was the pattern behind Abraham , Isaac and Jacob. It was the pattern behind the three sections of Moses existence. It was what shaped Elijah and Elisha. It's the difference between the 2 anointed men, Saul and David.
But in corporate form now it is tiny weeny, a person here and a person there.
It's the story behind Graham Pulkingham who then went on to the UK to lay one of the first real foundations of an interconnected Spirit Church as family together.
Hey , Chris, you say..."We've got that!"
I might have said that at Emsworth Church. I was chucked out.
Paul Noble said it to me a few weeks ago in a little pioneer church in Fareham, but then was squeezed out.
No, most people who adopt the phrase Family Church try (possibly unknowingly) to mimic Graham Pulkingham, but without the Hebrews 4 slice down the middle of your being that he experienced on a cold crypt floor in the Church of the Redeemer Houston.
That Abraham too experienced as he looked at carcases split in two and saw a supernatural flaming torch hovering between them.
No Family Churches you don't yet have a clue. A Spirit family church is one where each individual has a Galatians 2:20 consciousness. The Fisherfolk who travelled around with Graham Pulkingham had an early measure of this and ministered out from it.
This is something only the Holy Spirit can work within us.
So in this context I include Kathy's recent experiences which she shared this weekend on Facebook.
