The LORD’s Revolution Part 1

The Golden Bridge…

8 …As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].

9 For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect).

(1Cor 13:9) Ampl Jesus’ pain for His brothers…

On the morning of the 8th of April 2009, my wife had a dream: In her dream I told her that my body is very painful and were hurting. I wondered what the interpretation of the dream might be. During that same day while we prayed and worshipped the Lord, at a men’s gathering, I saw a vision. In my vision I saw Jesus coming towards me. He came and hugged me.

He hugged me like a bosom friend or a brother. As Jesus hugged me and pulled me close to His chest I started weeping. I experienced the Lord Jesus welcoming me home like a long lost brother. I knew that His desire was for His brother, His church. I experienced how much the Lord Jesus loves His body, His church. How he longs for her to understand what His heart’s desire for her is. I knew that His body,

those who love Him, have been robbed of her understanding of who she is in Him. She has lived as a slave without knowing she is actually an heir and a coheir with Jesus Christ Himself, as was written: 12 For He says, I will declare Your [the Father's] name to My brethren; in the midst of the [worshiping] congregation I will sing hymns of praise to You. [Ps. 22:22.] 13 And again He says, My trust and assured reliance and confident hope shall be fixed in Him. And yet again, Here I am, I and the children whom God has given Me. [Isa. 8:17, 18.] (Heb 2:13-14) Ampl It was as if Jesus was welcoming His people, His body back to Him from slavery and oppression, even religious oppression.

church. Many anointed men and women of God have received revelation from the word of God about many aspects of the truth, but unfortunately these revelations have divided men, because of ignorance and misunderstandings.

Many churches have sprung up based on, and founded on, the new found revelations from God. Now, after 2000 years since the first church of disciples were founded on the revelation that Jesus is the Christ The Messiah, who was resurrected from the dead, many churches, ministries, anointed men and teachers, have helped to restore the truths, which were lost. Many have laboured, giving up their lives for the sake of restoring the truth to the church. We have seen powerful men and women arise over the past 100 years. These people have laid down their lives for the sake of the restoration of the body of Christ. They prayed and seek God in order to rebuild the body of Christ. Great and awesome breakthroughs have come because of the endurance and the passion these men and women had to see us set free. Jesus once said to His disciples: 36 Already the reaper is getting his wages [he who does the cutting now has his reward], for he is gathering fruit (crop) unto life eternal, so that he who does the planting and he who does the reaping may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying holds true: “One sows and another reaps.”

38 I sent you to reap a crop for which you have not toiled. Other men have laboured and you have stepped in to reap the results of their work.

(Joh 4:36-38) Ampl

When I came home I started to meditate on that which Jesus had shown me. Suddenly great pain and deep sorrow came upon me again, just as I experienced it that morning, when the Lord showed me His love for His body. I started to weep from deep within before the Lord. I wept and wept uncontrollably, because of all that the body, Jesus' church, had to endure up until this time in history. I wept because of the division that was in the body of Jesus Christ. I wept, because people were judging and pointing fingers towards one another, like dogs biting one another, because each man has made an idol out of the revelation, which God had given him.

Men were divided over time because they fought to come out of the dark ages. They fought to not be oppressed by the old Roman Catholic state religion anymore. A great reformation was brought about by pioneers who have studied the scriptures in the desire to return to Jesus Christ as their first love. But unfortunately in their struggle to overcome the dark ages they have started to fight against one another. In the last 150 years God has brought much revelation in order to restore the truth – Jesus Christ, to the

This generation is reaping what the former generations have sowed in hard labour, in research, in prayer, in fasting and in isolation before God. We have seen the great ‘fathers of our faith’, who were generals in God’s army, and who opened a way of understanding to the people of their day. They have

done the ground work so that we could enter into the results of the breakthroughs they have reached. God has appeared to them in the past and revealed mysteries, which were hidden for generations. When these men or women first brought forth that which they have received from the heavenly Father they were rejected and opposed by those who thought that they had the full gospel, as it came to the apostles at first.

of a dream, a vision or a supernatural revelation opened up something so profound that it shook the very foundations of our faith. We suddenly realize the implication this would have for the body of Jesus Christ. After doing much research we start to powerfully proclaim or convince men of that which God had revealed to us. This new revelation is so profound that it shakes those around us and those with whom it is shared. Naturally a group of people develop, who over a time, start to teach the same principles of that revelation. Many other side revelations, with new depths, are opened up through that which God had placed on our hearts.

But now, after many centuries of revelation from the Lord, by many to whom God revealed many principles in the spirit, we are divided into many factions of difference and opinion. Men in their wickedness, because of their sinful nature, who even have the Spirit of God, have started to judge one another saying: "I have the truth!” Truly this earth and its inhabitants have become exceedingly evil and perverse, not knowing that even they do not have the full truth, but only a part of it. What is worse, many men and women, children of God, would go to great lengths to prove that what they have now got the answer. They are able to point out what was lacking in the doctrine of those before them.

Two are better than one…

But after a while something happens as was written by Solomon, saying: He who states his case first seems right, until his rival comes and cross-examines him.

(Pro 18:17) Ampl Some one inside of your congregation of followers or even outside suddenly comes across a question, which is not fully answered by your truth or revelation. Many are searching the scriptures for themselves today. It is no longer like it was during the time of the Roman Papacy, when the peasants were not allowed to read the bible for themselves. Therefore because many people love God and Jesus Christ and desire to know more about him they start to search the scriptures. By this time you have many leaders who are carrying this new wine to many ignorant or weak informed people, not knowing that they also do not all the solutions yet.

These leaders are also still growing.

We judge one another, pointing fingers towards one another's ‘truth’, not knowing that I only have a part of the puzzle. Men start to criticize the other's doctrine, finding fault with it compared to that which they have received from God. How did this happen? Why do we now have more than 6000 denominations? Which one is right? What makes matters even worse is that even spirit filled children of God, argue about many things. They are so convinced of that which they have accepted as truth that no one can tell them any different. The reason we are fighting and arguing about revelations could be because we have had a personal experience with the Lord through the Holy Spirit. God has either by means

Suddenly, they have forgotten that they too have only received a part of the truth from Jesus Christ. They like all those before them are searching into the unsearchable riches of God that can not be contained by only one revelation, especially not only yours alone.

Soon rebellion breaks out on the inside of the congregation or someone from the outside receives another revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ, which seems contrary to that which you have directly received from the Holy Spirit. This now causes confusion and anger inside of the congregation, towards you for deceiving them, or towards the other person, who came with the seemingly counter revelation, revealing the other side of the coin, which they have received from the Holy Spirit.

We become jealous because we are not the only one who is God’s chosen man anymore. We are unable to give up the position and share the importance we had before men. We are unable to humble ourselves and admit that we do not know all the answers. It becomes more important to please the people than God, as is written: 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. (Joh 12:43) Ampl Seeing a great number of people who are also convinced of what we say, we become deceived thinking so many people can not be wrong. The majority is always right, isn’t it?

Unfortunately by now you are well known and have had a great influence in people’s lives. Men are looking up to your leadership and an entire system of religion has formed around this basic revelation, which was only a partial revelation of the truth, because the depth of Jesus is unsearchable.

Do I now say that those revelations were not from God? No! That which God had revealed was only impart. Both have a part of the revelation now. Thus answering the question: “Who is right?” We see that both are partly right and both are partly wrong.

What causes division…?

What does the writer of the book James say: 1 “What leads to strife (discord and feuds) and how conflicts do (quarrels and fighting’s) originate among you? Do they not arise from your sensual desires that are ever warring in your bodily members? 2 You are jealous and covet [what others have] and your desires go unfulfilled; [so] you become murderers. [To hate is to murder as far as your hearts are concerned.] You burn with envy and anger and are not able to obtain [the gratification, the contentment, and the happiness that you seek], so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask. [I John 3:15.] 3 [Or] you do ask [God for them] and yet fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual pleasures.” (James 4:13) Ampl

Brief Church History - Denominations…

Let me explain, the type of conflicts that exists between churches and ministries, in more detail.

Around the 1600’s, God used men like Charles Wesley, John Knox and other reformationists, like Luther and Calvin, to reveal the truth of salvation by faith, which is not based on works for salvation, but based upon God’s unmerited grace. Luther nailed 95 statements against the door of the Catholic Church, pointing out that which is implied by this new revelation of ‘grace by faith’ alone. From that time the church came out of many rituals of doctrine, which was set up around the lie of salvation by works.

200 Years later, another reformation or revelation of the truth of Jesus Christ was unveiled. Many who hungered for more of the Lord Jesus Christ found the Baptism of the Holy Spirit in the word of God. Up

until that time it was wrongly believed that the baptism of the Holy Spirit was only for the first century, only existing during the time of the apostles.

Because of the wrong interpretation of scripture it was assumed that the baptism of the Holy Spirit had passed away and was not necessary anymore, because the word of God, known as the bible, was written and compiled by the year 1500 A.D. It was during this time that the Roman Catholic Church existed as a state church and religion, forcing men to submit to the pope’s authority. This brought great oppression and persecution upon those who did not interpret the scriptures the way they taught it.

churches which arose from the Protestant Reformation in 16th century Europe. See Wikipedia for more details on estimated Christian denominations.

Did they receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Yes! For this was a promise for the first church, as was written: 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Act 2:38-39) Ampl

Around the 1800’s men seek God for the leading and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They desired a more personal connection between God and men. Urged by the Holy Spirit they prayed and seek God for breakthrough into that which they desired. Many opposed even the very fact they could dare to ask such a question from God. But God in His mercy answered them by pouring out His Spirit on those few faithful believers who trusted in God. Afterwards many turned and were baptized by the Lord Jesus, realizing that we as the church of Jesus Christ had been robbed for centuries from that which Jesus had intended for His church. Thus, another reformation took place, bringing people from the reformation church to the so called Pentecostal or Charismatic church.

See diagram of

Many strongly disagreed, and still disagree, about this experience, which the Pentecostal or Charismatic churches claimed to have received. But those who trusted God, by faith received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and started to understand many spiritual things, which could not before have been understood, because that part of the bible remained sealed, until the Spirit of Jesus Christ revealed it to individuals, by means of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In the light of this new ability from the Spirit of God, many different ministries and revelations came to existence through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Unfortunately men are evil and have not come to maturity in Christ and started to quarrel and argue with one another. Fear caused

many from risking the possibility of offending the Holy Spirit or even worse of committing the unforgivable sin, by sinning against the Holy Spirit.

This caused men to start judging one another, because we frown upon that which we do not understand. It is foolishness to us.

Men became proud because of their revelation, which they have received and because of the ability they now have in the Spirit, which others do not have or even understand. An example of this is the gift of speaking in tongues. This makes them feel superior over other Christian denominations. Over a period of time many more splinter groups with side revelations starts to spring up like mushrooms.

individual interpretations or revelations of the word of God. This has brought forth a maze of Christian religions, which makes the outsider look at it in disdain and contempt. Many do not want to attempt to know Jesus Christ, because of the confusion and the insecurity, which it arose. They choose to rather stay aloof from God and Christianity. Sadly, this caused even the well known, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, after researching Christianity to be discouraged form believing in Jesus Christ, as is written: 24 For, as it is written, The name of God is maligned and blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you!

Let us get more specific and closer to the bone.

We know in part and prophecy in part…

But the worst deception has now come! Even Jesus warned when asked privately by the disciples: “Tell us, when will this take place, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end (the completion, the consummation) of the age?”

The question, which Jesus was asked, was two sided.

First: “When will this take place?” And second: “What will be the sign of Your coming and of the end (the completion, the consummation) of the age?”

More recently, ordinary people have been given insight into the things of God, because God Himself has started too opened up the eyes of hearts’ of the ordinary man, giving them direct spiritual understanding. In South Africa a young boy that should have died in a car accident was saved from death when a black person stopped at the scene of the accident and proclaimed: “No death shall take place today!” Since then the boy has been in hospital and has received simple but accurate messages from the Creator of the Universe – Jesus Christ. Truly these are the days that the prophet Daniël prophesied about saying: “But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great. [Amos 8:12.]” (Dan 12:4) Ampl

Then 4 Jesus answered them: “Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error]. 5 For many will come in (on the strength of) My name [appropriating the name which belongs to Me], saying, I am the Christ (the Messiah), and they will lead many astray.” (Matt 24:4-5) Ampl Jesus warned that the indication that His coming is at hand, will be marked by many anointed teachers’ will come in His Name, deceiving many. The truth is these teachers have to only teach many partial truths, as was revealed to them by the Spirit, to bring great confusion among God’s people. In trying to find the deceiving teachings new never recognise the partially informed teachers. This is the greatest warning yet. When will these prophecies, as Jesus said happen, we might ask?

It has already started happening and will now only increase in intensity. The problem is not the teachings only, but the attitude of those who bring them and those who will listen to them. Many men will be divided and hate one another because of the many different teachings. Why will brothers hate and betray

God promised that these things would happen in the last days. We have heard that it was said by many that the speed at which technology advances in this generation has been astronomical. In his prophecy God promised Daniel that the knowledge, as was given

one another, because they are jealous, bitter and proud, unable to humble themselves to learn from one another. I have received revelation from God, why should I be wrong? With this same partial revelations, will we judge one another and even tear each other apart, as Paul once said to the church of the Galatians, saying: 15 But if you bite and devour one another [in partisan strife], be careful that you [and your whole fellowship] are not consumed by one another.

Truly as the prophet Hosea said: 1 Hear the word of the Lord, you children of Israel, for the Lord has a controversy (a pleading contention) with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no faithfulness, love, pity and mercy, or knowledge of God [from personal experience with Him] in the land. 2 There is nothing but [false] swearing and breaking faith and killing and stealing and committing adultery; they break out [into violence], one [deed of] bloodshed following close on another. 3 Therefore shall the land [continually] mourn, and all who dwell in it shall languish, together with the wild beasts of the open country and the birds of the heavens; yes, the fishes of the sea also shall [perish because of the drought] be collected and taken away. 4 Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove [another--do not waste your time in mutual recriminations], for with you is My contention, O priest. 5 And you shall stumble in the daytime, and the [false] prophet also shall stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother [the priestly nation].

My Revelation from the Lord Jesus Himself…

On the 4th of July 2008, while I was in the Spirit, I saw a terrible thing in the near future that is going to happen, if we do not repent of our pride and selfrighteous attitudes against one another’s churches, ministries and revelations from God, thinking we hold the final or the newest revelation from God, then what was prophesied by Jesus, saying: 12 And brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; and children will take a stand against their parents and [have] them put to death. 13 And you will be hated and detested by everybody for My name's sake, but he who patiently perseveres and endures to the end will be saved (made a partaker of the salvation by Christ, and delivered from spiritual death). (Mar 13:12-13) Ampl will come to pass. Because of our idolatry of that revelation we will be swollen with pride and be blinded, not realizing that my brother might have another aspect of the truth, in order to complete or mature that which God has given me.

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten

seems to even contradict your brother’s interpretation, will you be humble enough to accept that you might have only a part of the truth? Could it be possible that you are not completely right? Could your awesome revelation from God be only part of the truth?

The question no one has asked is? “Did God not may be give me only a partial revelation?” You would ask in your pride: “But the Holy Spirit revealed it to me!” The Holy Spirit could not be wrong! No! The answer is you are not yet made mature in Christ, but are only a child in your thinking towards your brother or sister. After being led by the Spirit of God up until this time, why have you now became self appointed, because of that with God in His love has revealed to you. Yes of them Jesus’ words will be true, saying: 5 You hypocrite, first get the beam of timber out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the tiny particle out of your brother's eye. 6 Do not give that which is holy (the sacred thing) to the dogs, and do not throw your pearls before hogs, lest they trample upon them with their feet and turn and tear you in pieces.

[Isa. 61:3.]”(1 Cor 3:3-9) Ampl Paul also said about the body of Jesus Christ: 14 For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many. 15 If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body?

16 If the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where [would be the sense of] hearing?

If the whole body were an ear, where [would be the sense of] smell? 18 But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation. 19 But if [the whole] were all a single organ, where would the body be? 20 And now there are [certainly] many limbs and organs, but a single body. 21 And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 But instead, there is [absolute] necessity for the parts of the body that are considered the more weak. 23 And those [parts] of the body which we consider rather ignoble are [the very parts] which we invest with additional honor,

God has given us pearls of great wealth, but now we have tried by our revelation to take the speck out of our brother’s eye. Are we so foolish! Was this one's ministry or that one’s church leader crucified for you?

Paul says: 3 “For you are still [unspiritual, having the nature] of the flesh [under the control of ordinary impulses]. For as long as [there are] envying and jealousy and wrangling and factions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men? 4 For when one says, I belong to Paul, and another, I belong to Apollos, are you not [proving yourselves] ordinary (unchanged) men? 5 What then is Apollos?

Is Jesus Christ divided? Each denomination has a role to play in the bigger picture of the body of Christ. The one denomination laid the basic foundation in our lives and we thank them for that. If it was not for the work that was done in the past we would not have been Christians today.

If it be the Lord’s will, the soon to follow newsletter will expound on how the different seemingly contradicting doctrines of different denominations will leave their partial truths, revealed by the Spirit, and combine it into maturity as God had intended it.

This will give us golden bridge to see the role that each individual revelation will have in brings many sons of righteousness to glory in Christ Jesus.

The Forefathers have planted and laboured. The Dutch reformists and the Evangelicals have laboured, the Pentecostals and the Charismatics have watered, but only God can and will make each one’s work grow, if it was sown in love, as was written and prophesied: “When the Lord brought back the captives [who returned] to Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal]. [Ps. 53:6; Acts 12:9.] 2 Then were our mouths filled with laughter, and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them. 3 The Lord has done great things for us! We are glad! 4 Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes, O Lord, as the streams in the South (the Negeb) [are restored by the torrents]. 5

Grace and peace from the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
