The hidden manna in God’s direct words to me in 1980
In the early morning of Sunday 7.9.80, I had a dramatic dream in which I was looking at a map of India whose outline was lit and a light was shining from the location of Delhi. Recently an Australian missionary in India had spoken in our local church concerning his work in India. He was based in New Delhi. The overwhelming feeling in the dream was that God was telling me to go to India. I had only become a born again Christian in February of 1979 and I really felt that I was not qualified for such a calling.
I began to tell the Lord why His calling for India was not possible. I said that I had not even read the Bible once through and that I had not been to Bible college. I asked Him about the hundreds of people in our local church who have been going to church for years. God said, "It is not you that goeth but I." This answer astounded me because I figured that I was the one who was going to leave my job and career. I was the one that was going to catch the plane to fly over there. In short, the Lord and I were just not on the same wavelength.
Being a young Christian, it took me a couple of days to work out what God meant in the statement. When the meaning dawned on me, I was so relieved. The Lord was looking for a willing vessel through whom He would do His will. I cried out to God and said that if this was the case then He can send me anywhere and I will go. All the work and responsibility will be on God Himself and this suited me just fine because I did not trust in myself. I totally trust God and on that basis where ever He tells me to go I will go and whatever He tells me to do I will do. This has been a fundamental philosophy in my life and it is a fundamental philosophy for Daystar Ministry.
The meat of, “It is not you that goeth but I.”
If it is not me but God who is going then whose words are going to be spoken in the work of the ministry? Whose works will be performed? Clearly, this was a calling that could only be fulfilled in the churches by the outpouring of God’s Spirit from the early 1990’s that was needed for Christians to have the divine ability for credible and direct communion with God. Indeed this particular insight into the words of God’s calling did not come to me until I was ministering in Mauritius in June, 2002.
As with Jesus, so shall it be with the saints
We note from the scriptures that Jesus in flesh
and blood only spoke the words He heard from His Father in heaven and only
did the works that His Father within Him showed and did.
Jn 12: 49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.Jn 14: 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
As if to emphasize this purpose of God for
those dwelling in the earth, even the Holy Spirit could only speak that
which He heard from heaven.
Jn 16: 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
It makes every sense that Jesus was able to
do the will and works of God because of the purity and righteousness of
His communion with God from heaven. Now we can understand that this is
the hope of God’s calling and the riches of the glory of His inheritance
in the saints. This is “Christ in you the hope of glory.” Only then can
believers do the works that Jesus did and the “greater works than these”
that He spoke of.
Jn 14: 12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.Eph 1: 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Hearing
God in order to do the works of God is the daily bread of eternal life.
Jn 12: 50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.Jn 4: 31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him [ought] to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.Mt 4: 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.Mt 6: 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
The
only way to possessing the riches of the glory of hearing directly from
heaven in order to do the works of God.
After complimenting Peter about being able to
hear directly from God in heaven so that he proclaimed the spirit and life
of Jesus being the Christ and the Son of the living God, Jesus then derided
him for when his carnal mind predominated.
Mtt 16: 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.Mtt 16: 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Jesus then outlined the only way to possessing
the riches of the glory of hearing directly from heaven in order to do
the works of the will and purpose of God.
24. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.Gal 2: 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Mt 16: 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Let us fervently pray and diligently seek
God for the total fulfillment of, “It is not you that goeth but I,” in
our daily lives. Amen!
Eph 5: 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
