and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.”
Matthew 5:6 NIV
Righteousness
We are living a period in our lives that God wants to display His Righteousness thru you. But are you ready to be His Righteousness? This is a very small part from a chapter of my new book "Discipline and Grace". We are His Righteousness, but this revelation cannot be fully comprehended until we achieve the previous steps (Discipline and Grace), Everything has been obtain for us already, but this perfect attitude in our heart is more visible after we conquer the right attitude in our soul and mind. There are still some more steps that must be taken to fully appropriate this great period of His righteousness in our journey, our final test (the final exam) is at hand before we can begin to experience our destiny. This journey has become more personal, the closer we get to our destiny the more exclusive and privileged it gets.
I have done an injustice to the book of Ruth and to the Tabernacle of Moses on my new book; there is so much to explain to help us understand our journey but my main suggestion using these two outlines was to appreciate how our journey progresses only by revelation.
It is not how much you learn and read the Scriptures but the significance how every revelation is revealed as we walk in love.
A lot of good people go and hunt after new revelations, that’s their “fix” and they go from conferences to conferences, from seminars to seminars, but revelation only comes after you have spent time in the “threshing floor”. Revelation is an unfolded mystery, an exposed truth, and an illustration of the mind of God concerning Himself and His plan given to people by any expression He chooses to (it can be by His own Scriptures, by dreams, by visions, by burdens, or by however He desires to reveal it). I must continue emphasizing revelation only comes after we have spent time in tribulations because it is there where the mixture gets thrown into the air against the stiff wind and the breeze blows away the chaff; the grain by it is own weight falls in one place while the chaff would be carried to a distance by the wind. No one likes to spend time in the threshing floor, but each revelation has a price too, and very few people are willing to pay such price.
After Naomi received a small revelation of life (ministered by Ruth), she made Ruth aware of what was to come if Ruth continued, with great simplicity, seeking the face of Boaz at the threshing floor at the evening hours.
There is so much to say about the threshing floor and the evening hours (the midnight hour) but, again, this book is only a very small outline as an illustration of our own journey.
Listen to Naomi’s advice to Ruth and make it personal, it will transform you life to a degree you have never seen before; Truth will become more personal.
“Wash and anoint yourself therefore, and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. But when he lies down, notice the place where he lies; then go and uncover his feet and lie down. And he will tell you what to do. And Ruth said to her, All that you say to me I will do”(Ruth 3:3-5).
Ruth is getting ready to receive her inheritance, her prize, her reward, her rest, her visitation into the Most Holy Place, the fullness of the Redeemer, His very own presence; can you feel the excitement? She was obedient from the very beginning; she didn’t loose hope in between feasts and periods of waiting (grace at its best); she didn’t loose sight but with an unwavering heart, she press on to the finishing line.
Can you feel the emotion of a very possible wedding? Unfortunately, many believers die in the course of their journey, they do become save (new born again), but never inherit all the Jesus has for them (was it because of ignorance? Fear? Trying to please man rather than GOD? Following other doctrines?). These happenings are not even close to the pinnacle of its development. Ruth has few more steps to take and one wrong step can put Ruth back at the Holy Place.
This is only for whole-hearted people, the Outer Court, you surrendered your emotions and conquered them; at the Holy Place you crucified your mind and you were no longer double-minded, but at the Most Holy Place, your heart is at risk?
Everything was going to take place in the threshing floor, a private place of cleansing chastising, separation, and purging. A baptism of Fire!
While Ruth had to perform these steps according to her time and limited circumstances, these steps also apply to us if we want to receive our visitation and the revelation of ALL that HE is; our inheritance. Are you ready to receive a revelation that will blow your mind?Are you ready to move into a dimension that hasn’t been discovered? He has more for you than you can ever imagine! Two different attitudes can make you win or loose at this set of events. This is why I mentioned on my new book: your heart is at risk! I love you like you have no idea! I am always praying for you! Give your heart to God and He will lead you in the rest of the journey. Don't get on the way; be in the way (He is the only way).
