The Daily Word of Righteousness
Three Works of Grace, #9
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. (Isaiah 28:9-13)
The saints begin their journey into the fullness of God by putting their faith in the atonement made by the Lord Jesus and then by receiving the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues.
Speaking in tongues is our entrance into the rest of God. We speak in tongues, and as we do we go forward in the Lord. Then we fall back as various tribulations come upon us. Our natural strength and wisdom fail and we learn to live in the Spirit of God. We are snared by the Lord. We finally are taken captive by the Lord and find ourselves living in the consuming Fire of Israel.
Such a change from Adam to Christ takes place command upon command, rule upon rule, as we press forward into the Spirit of God.
Now we have entered the Tabernacles experience. The throne of God and of the Lamb has been created in us. From the throne flows the waters of eternal, incorruptible resurrection life.
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. (Isaiah 12:3)
Pentecost is the Holy Spirit coming upon us and dwelling in us. Tabernacles is the creating of the Throne of God in us.
The living water now coming from the saints will flow out to mankind. Those who come and drink at the invitation of the Spirit and the Bride will receive eternal life. They will be healed by the leaves of the Lord's trees of life—His saints in whom He is dwelling. In this manner the historical fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles follows and results from the personal fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles in the saints.
When the saints have been cleansed and filled with the Father and the Son they will compose the Tabernacle of God that will descend from the new sky and wipe away the tears of mankind.
The spiral staircase. One time, when a boy, the writer was in a lighthouse located at one end of a breakwater. Inside the lighthouse there was an iron, spiral staircase leading up to the great light.
The three works of grace we have been describing are like a spiral staircase leading up to the great Light. We start at basic salvation, receiving the atonement, and then climb upward to the baptism with the Holy Spirit—life lived in the Spirit of God.
To be continued.
