Higher Calling in Christ

 Lampstand not candlestick.

Father is most blessed in that His ways are truly a pathway one can not find by man nor churches. I was looking at Jonathan and Zadok and Father brought me to the lampstand. Now in the KJV it uses candlestick and when you look at its meaning you will find it is NOT candlestick BUT lampstand.

When you see this you will understand, for oil was poured into the middle lamp and it fed the other lamps on the stand. A candlestick burns by a wick in wax and therefore no oil is needed. So the use of the word candlestick is miss leading in the KJV.

Now back to the lampstand.

And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive BEATEN for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always. Ex 27:20

BEATEN or "pure." The olives had to be beaten or pressed so that the oil which is pure will come out. Other ways of getting the oil did not get one pure oil. So Father wanted only BEATEN olives for the lamp.

Are you beaten? Have you found yourself in the wilderness or the olive press being made PURE by Father for His Kingdom?

I say that for it is only outside of the Most Holy place one can be made pure to be able to enter into the Most Holy place.

In the tabernacle of the congregation "without the vail", which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel. Ex 27:21

Yes. The olive oil was beaten outside of the Most Holy place.

Notice the High Priest and the Priesthood were told by Father "...Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps burning in the LORD’s presence all night."

Yes, the sons of God who receive the first fruit of the Spirit, MUST have that flame burning within at all times!

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the Spirit; ... Ephesians 5:19

Just as the Priesthood would make sure the oil in the lamp was filled up, so must we be filled up.

fill = to fill to the top: so that nothing shall be wanting to full measure, fill to the brim!

Before pressing on let us notice in Exodus 27:20 "...to cause the lamp to burn always."

The word "burn" = to go up, ascend. That shows us we must press on to the higher calling IN Christ!

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13,14

There is REASON here of keeping this light alive. For it represents the Spirit of God and it is not to go out, it is not to go out at night and in particular it says “from evening to morning”(Exodus 27:21). So that means that we the Priesthood of the Father's has responsibility in the holy place, for keeping this lamp going even in time of darkness.

Look at how one keeps the Lamp full and burning--->Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Ephesians 5:20,21

I tell you if you sit back and are able to make a good conversation with the world and its desires, you will find the flame of the Holy Spirit almost flicking out.

Now I was wondering why I went from Jonathan and Zadok to the lampstand; Father told me why. See Jonathan was a great man and highly loved by David. BUT Jonathan was not will to be beaten to be the pure oil. Instead he stayed in his father's house (Saul) and enjoyed the pleasure of being a son of a king.

Now! How many hear the sonship message but refuse to come out of Saul's house? That house is but the Adam identity and one MUST leave it for the journey Father has for them in the wilderness.

It shall be for the priests that are sanctified OF THE SONS OF ZADOK; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. Ezekiel 48:11

Now I am confident in my own heart that out there in the cave Adullam, wandering through the wilderness with that little band of 400 men, Zadok could not have fully known what lay ahead for him. All he knew at that time was that this was the will of God for him, here was God's anointed, here was the one who would someday rise to the Throne, and he had to follow this course, live or die, sink or swim.

Time we see Father's Priesthood is being prepared to rule with Him when His Kingdom is manifested! They are NOT found in MYSTERY, BABYLON, BUT in the wilderness!

But ... Brother Frank there are men of God, pastors, teachers and so on that now are ministry. YES. So truthful! But take a look at Father's HOUSE in the end of age --->They shall not come near unto ME, to do the office of a priest UNTO ME, nor to come near to any of MY holy things, in the Most Holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.

But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

But the priests the Levites, THE SONS OF ZADOK, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near TO ME to minister UNTO ME, and they shall stand BEFORE ME.

YES! Father is very gracious to those who have gone astray, teaching MYSTERY, BABYLON doctrines and were not faithful to the anointing they have. Father does let them minister today, but I tell you they will not be the firstfruits, the manifested sons of God! YES, they shall, by the grace of God, be able to minister to the people in a miraculous ministry, to bring the people a ministry to meet their needs. But they shall NEVER come into the Most Holy Place beyond the veil. for their ministry is on a lower realm, OUTSIDE the veil, in the church realm where the lamp stick resides.

I tell you, I asked a Brother why, WHY is the seven churches seeing the Son of man surrounded by the seven lampstands and NOT see the Son of God by the anointing of the Spirit within!

The mature, the royal priesthood are they who "...reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as they mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ."

GRASP IT AT ALL COST and see that those who pressed on in God through the wilderness, those who were faithful to the true anointing though it cost them everything, to these God has reserved the prize of the High Calling of HIM. The Apostle Paul saw it, and desired it! I am seeing it, and find it VERY desirable! Even Ezekiel says that these Sons wear only linen. Linen bonnets, linen breeches, and no wool to cause sweat. Sweat is part of the curse, and now the curse is lifted! Works are over, it is God's Rest, and God's righteousness!

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Ephesians 5:14

These that awake are they who SHALL have a relationship with the Father that no one else can know. They can come out of the Most Holiest Place and dwell among the people, but they cannot bring the people into what they have in God, nor sanctify the people with their holy garments.

They are the Lords Chosen, His Elect, His Sons. (Ezekiel 44:19)

In my searching I do not find Jonathan IN THE GLORY OF THE LATTER HOUSE. For he could not bear the reproach from them in the old order (Saul). Just as today so many cling to the church system no matter how much end of age Truth is revealed unto them.

But unto US who hear the message and leave the fold will wonder in the wilderness knowing the ONE who is come will pick us up and place us upon His shoulders!
