A Time of Preparation!
A significant transition happened in the early part of 2024. During the Jewish festival of Purim, the Holy Spirit revealed His preparation for the Body of Christ. We entered this transition during Purim, or the feast of Purim. The book of Esther provides us with a profound understanding of the essence of Purim. Today, I invite you to step into the Kingdom of God within you and grasp the revelation that Purim was a crucial phase for the Godhead to prepare our lives as believers in Christ!
It's a call to preparation that we must heed!
In the Book of Esther, we read the account of Esther being taken captive along with other beautiful women by King Ahasuerus's decree. The decree was because Queen Vashti had rejected the King's request to come to the feast he was having in his honour.
Queen Vashti made a terrible mistake through her arrogance and complacency. Her behaviour towards the King ended her queenship and ushered in the search for a new bride to become queen.
I believe Queen Vashti is a picture of the church in the Laodicean Church Age, which is ending. We are transitioning into the Kingdom Age, and we see the transition play out in Revelation Chapters 3 and 4.
And to the 'angel of the church in Laodicea ', a heavenly being bringing a message from Jesus identifying the church's spiritual condition, write: 'The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation.
15 "'I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Rev 3:14-18
After this, I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. 3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow appeared like an emerald around the throne. Rev 4:1-3
In Hebrews chapter 6, the church is not just advised but urgently instructed to leave Christ's elementary principles behind and transition into the power of the age to come.
Therefore, let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 and instruction about washings,[a] the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment again. 3 And this we will do if God permits. Hebrews 6:1-3
The kingdom age for the church will focus on our intimacy with the Godhead and focus more on heavenly realms. For far too long, we have focused on the things on Earth. Jesus wants to reveal who we are in heavenly places so we can bring the blueprint from heaven unto the Earth. Jesus revealed that he only does what he sees and hears our Father doing. We should be no different! John 5:19-20, Col 3:1-4
My next blog will discuss how Esther prepared herself to see the King!
