We begin our Journey at the Beginning.
- Jesus was born.
- So are we.
- We are born in the natural, then born again in the spiritual.
Our spiritual birth can be described many ways.
- Born again.
- Second birth.
- Born from above.
- Born of the Spirit.
- Spiritual birth.
Jesus was born of the Spirit when He entered into Mary’s womb.
- Jesus grew in the spirit until He was 30 years.
- At 30 He was ready to begin the Journey into His destined life work.
Then Jesus came to John the Baptizer at the Jordan River.
- Here we see Jesus baptized in water.
- We see the Spirit came down on Him as a Dove.
- We hear Father speak, “You are My beloved Son with Whom I am Well Pleased.”
The Beginning of our Journey follows the pattern of Jesus’ beginning.
- We experience our spiritual new birth.
- We are baptized in water.
- We receive Holy Spirit.
- Father speaks to us in person or through a spiritual father.
- We hear, “You are My beloved Son with Whom I am Well Pleased.”
Jesus journeyed on from this beginning.
- He grew up from little child to strong adult.
- First in the natural.
- Then in the spiritual.
- So do we.
“And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.” Luke 2:40
- Jesus grew in Wisdom until He was filled with Wisdom.
- Jesus grew in the spirit until He was strong in spirit.
- Jesus grew in the grace of God.
- Jesus increased in Wisdom and stature (height).
- So do we.
- Stature is both natural stature and spiritual stature.
- Jesus increased in favor with God and men.
- So do we.
After the beginning of our New Birth we begin many other Journeys.
- We Journey into growth in stature (height) both natural and spiritual.
- We Journey into strength both natural and spiritual.
- We journey into favor both spiritual (favor with God) and natural (favor with men).
- We Journey into Wisdom.
We begin our Journey into Wisdom.
- This is a Journey into Wisdom as found in Scripture In Proverbs and other places.
- We accept Wisdom’s invitation to Wisdom’s Heights.
- We accept Wisdom’s invitation to her House and her Banquet.
- We enter into Wisdom’s House and Wisdom enters into our House.
We are introduced to Wisdom’s Hand Maidens and begin a Journey into each.
- Wisdom has 7 Handmaidens.
- This is the Beginning of our first Journey into the fullness of the number 7.
- We then Journey into the Fullness of Wisdom.
- This is a Journey into the Fullness of the number 7.
We are introduced to Melchizedek.
- Melchizedek is both a King and Priest.
- This is the Beginning of our Journey into Kingship and Priesthood.
This is the beginning of our Journey into the fullness of the number 12.
- Melchizedek is the Chief Chancellor of the Chancellors House of the Treasury.
- This the Beginning of our Journey into the 12 Chancellors Houses.
- This is also the Beginning of our Journey into becoming a House.
- And the Beginning of our Journey into the Order of Melchizedek.
Receiving Holy Spirit was a Beginning of our Journey into the fullness of Holy Spirit.
- We are introduced to the 7 spirits of God.
- The 7 spirits of God are the Fullness of the Spirit.
- On this Journey we will later receive the Power of the Spirit.
Journeying into Holy Spirit is also a Journey into the fullness of the number 9.
- We Journey into growing the 9-fold fruit of the Spirit.
- We Journey into manifesting the 9-fold manifestations of the Spirit.
- Growing into mature fruit is always a Journey into the fullness of the number 9.
