The Early Part of Our Journey

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.
“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.”     Luke 2:52
  • 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.
