Will The Real Christ Please Stand Up!

Part Two - Posted by Blake Higginbotham

2Peter 2:1-3 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying Yahshua who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.Jude 3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our Yahweh into lewdness and deny the only Sovereign Elohim and our Sovereign Yahshua The Messiah. (NKJV)Beloved, this is where I left off writing in part one. So let me say to those of you that are still listening. Thank you for the gracious encouragement and support to address these issues. To those of you who cannot hear what the Spirit is saying through me right now, I bless you anyway, and I will be praying for all of us. We are going to need it.Quote: “However, in recent years, I have seen a dangerous trend, as it pertains to the teachings that are coming out of some of the things that we have been seeing and hearing. As with most revelatory knowledge and truth we are moving from one place and level of understanding to another, and most of the time it is without regard for how the message will be perceived at the time, or what effect it will have in the people who hear it. I, for one, am deeply concerned about some of the things that I am now hearing, that in my estimation are corrupting and contaminating the true message of the gospel of the Kingdom. Over the last few years, I have become acutely aware of the mingled seed and mixture that has been carefully sown and strategically woven into the truth, and I fear that unless it is rooted up now, it will become a clinging vine growing up into the branches of the Tree Of Life, and spreading in the night at a rate that we will not be able to control it. “ blhIf you can hear it, this is the ThirdDay and we are under an OpenHeaven. With that said, the “church age” as we have known it has come to an end and we have now begun to posture ourselves as sons of Yahweh to fully enter the “Kingdom Age.” Dispensationally speaking, I believe that we are in the overlapping time, between the ages. (The Church Age and the Kingdom Age). We are between, Revelation 3:14-22 & Revelation 4:1. We must come up higher to see and hear things with will happen now and from this time forth.We are moving from a religious mindset to a relational mindset. From an institutional way of thinking and operating to Father/Son relationship and Family! The scripture teaches that the kingdom of Yahweh is not coming by observation; but rather the Kingdom is within you. The word Kingdom means, King’s/Domain. We must receive a greater understanding of the Kingdom of Yahweh, if we are going to rule and reign in life by Messiah Yahshua. We must become the King’s Domain in every area of our lives. He must have supreme say-so (the first and last word) in all the affairs of our lives. He must rule in and out of the throne of our hearts and reign supreme in all of our ways. If we hope to see, understand and fully enter into the Kingdom we must know and have the King’s heart, blessing and favor. “I was born to serve the King, nothing else really matters.” blh This, needs to be our heart, song and our banner.The sons of Yahweh are beginning to hear His voice again and it will not be long before we start showing up in the strength of unity. When we do, He will appear in our midst. As I speak, the corporate man is moving into position to be properly aligned and joined with the head and one another. Even as I am writing this article people from all walks of life and from every nation under the sun are beginning to hear the voice within the sound that is coming from the throne. This truly is a Solomon’s Porch moment. You will not want to miss it. Acts 5:12Quote: “However, there is another dangerous trend that I hear and see taking place in the Third Day, Open Heaven and Kingdom movement today. There is a spirit of Anti-Messiah and Lawlessness that is beginning to corrupt the truth of the gospel of the Kingdom that will have devastating effects in the next few years, if it is not challenged right now.” blhUnfortunately, in the middle of the greatest moment in the history of the Ekklesia there is an out-of-balance and somewhat disturbing teaching concerning the Christ and Glory that is not sitting well in my spirit at this time. I am hoping that it represents the pendulum swinging way over to one side in order to redirect our attention to the body of Messiah; but as with most of these over-blown and somewhat eccentric thoughts and ideas I have to assume the worse for now.Embedded in the middle of one of the greatest messages the Ekklesia has ever heard concerning the many-membered, one new corporate man, is a spirit of lawlessness and rebellion that is working to make the fivefold ministry and their function obsolete, outdated, and old school with a blatant attempt to eradicate and do away with the gift, office, function and operation of the Apostle.Let me say, that it is subtly masked with buzz words and phrases like, the apostolic gifting and anointing is the foundation of the building, therefore, it is the lowest and most invisible part of the structure. The apostolic gifting and anointing is just another part of the body and we should not elevate one gifting or anointing over another. The apostolic gifting and anointing is working its way out of a job. I think you get my point.All of these buzz words and phrases are filled with pointed remarks, sneers and a gross disrespect for the fathers of the faith and the sent ones that Yahshua has given to the Ekklesia. They do not represent the heart of a true son and they are not the way of honor. Most of them come out of a lack of training and ignorance to what the scripture teaches. I would venture to say that there are more bastard sons that have been raised in the wilderness than all of the bad fathers combined. Also, let me say that this is the day and the hour for apostolic reformation, and there are some things about the apostolic mindset that are changing. We did the best we could with what we had at the time; but we have been waiting a long time for this moment, and we will not be denied.If you can hear it, the apostle has never been the foundation of the house that Yahshua is building. That is a misinterpretation of the scripture. Yahshua, (The Rock) has and always will be the foundation and chief cornerstone of the building, and no other foundation can any man lay that that which was been laid even Messiah Yahshua. Apostles are foundational fathers. They have been given to us for the purpose of removing the debris from the foundation, so that we can see the foundation upon which to build. They have been given to us to establish us.They are not supposed to disappear or go away. If they were doing what they are called to do, they would never work their way out of a job, because you would be trained and equipped for ministry or business, or a combination thereof. You would be influencing and winning the world in which you live, and they would always have new sons and daughters to teach, train and develop. You see how easy it is to get off track and miss the mark. To say that the apostle is nothing more than a part of the body is to take the power out of their authority, as it pertains to speaking into your life, and is not dissimilar to gagging them and tying their hands. The reason that this thought and idea is gaining popularity in the ThirdDay, OpenHeaven and Kingdom movement is because someone, who has never has never received or had a spiritual father, told us that apostles are not supposed to be honored gifts of men that have been sent to the body of Messiah. The scripture says that Yahweh has appointed these in the Ekklesia, first apostles and secondary prophets, then teachers and all of the other giftings and anointings. Ephesians 4-11-16, Ephesians 2:19-22, 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, 1 Corinthians 12:27-30I have no doubt that some of this will come as a surprise to some of the people who are reading it; but I am going to say it anyway. If we do not receive Kingdom Government and Apostolic Order the Ekklesia will not be matured in our lifetime. It cannot be accomplished with books and CDs. The work cannot be finished by television ministers and pastor driven church works. There is no one in the earth right now that can do the work of the apostle and the prophet accept those who are called, chosen and sent to do the work. Many men and ministers today are operating out of order and their rightful place and it is going to end in a major disaster. Brethren, I adjure you in the name of Yahshua to consider these things. “The apostles are here to stay and they are not going away.” Count on it! Take it to the bank! We are a part of the finished work and the work of finishing. So It Is!2 Peter 2:17-19 These false teachers are dried-up springs. They are a mist blown around by a storm. Gloomy darkness has been kept for them. 18They arrogantly use nonsense to seduce people by appealing to their sexual desires, especially to sexual freedom. They seduce people who have just escaped from those who live in error. 19They promise these people freedom, but they themselves are slaves to corruption. A person is a slave to whatever he gives in to. (God’s Word)1 John 4:4-6 My dear children, you come from Yahweh and belong to Yahweh. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world. 5These people belong to the Christ-denying world. They talk the world’s language and the world eats it up. 6But we come from Yahweh and belong to Yahweh. Anyone who knows Yahweh understands us and listens. The person who has nothing to do with Yahweh will, of course, not listen to us. This is another test for telling the Spirit of Truth from the spirit of deception. (The Message Bible)
