Passover, Pentecost, Tabernacles & Mature Sonship, Part 3

PART THREE: PASSOVER, PENTECOST, TABERNACLES
& MATURE SONSHIP (notes taken from Chris Blackeby)

Based on the parable in Mark 4 – the 30 fold, 60 fold and 100 fold

This parable, as all of them, are about the Kingdom. In Mark chapter 4, the farmer sowed seeds. Some seeds were choked out, and some bought 30% harvest, some 60 % and others 100%. The soil, as Jesus explained, is the condition of our hearts and the soil, makes the difference! The seed is the word of God and were it is sown, makes a difference. For anyone who receives the seed, IT GROWS!

Typically, the Evangelical and Traditional people and churches, produce a 30% harvest. They receive the gospel and tend to live in the natural and physical realm, rather than the supernatural as displayed by Jesus and the early Church. They are old wineskins and unwittingly live under the old covenant in some aspects of the spiritual life. They believe and get baptised. They believe that one day they will go to heaven. Ministry and outreach is by their own effort and strength.

Typically, Pentecostal and Charismatic people will produce a 60% harvest. They receive the gospel, get baptised, get filled with the Spirit. They operate in the gifts and anointings of the Holy Spirit, e.g. soul healing, and walk in aspects of the supernatural, e.g. healing, prophecy, teaching, evangelism, etc. They operate in spiritual warfare, fighting principalities and powers, deliverance, often engage in all night prayer and fasting and the prophetic, or prophetic warfare. They ask the Holy Spirit to come down, anoint them, and send healing, anointing or a mantel. They mostly operate as new wineskins, sometimes with a mix of the old, with some old mindsets, a mix of old and new leadership and structures and a mixture of results.

Typically, those who operate in Full Sonship in the heavenly realm, tend to produce a 100% harvest as they mature. Sons will heal out of their DNA, out of being a son (not out of a gift of healing). They believe that "as He is, so am I now, on the earth." Sons are baptised in fire and they are the priesthood of Melchizedek – heaven's priesthood. Their Sonship is received as a gift and they allow their new DNA (that we ALL have) to become manifest through their new nature. They live from the Father's Kingdom, where they are continually in His presence.

Ministry is not by effort and striving but by leading of the Spirit and from a position of rest. Sonship is not ministry, but it's WHO and WHAT you are, affecting those around you. Most Christians think that this is crazy and its only for the future, (when they die and go to heaven), but those who live in full sonship now, know that they occupy both heaven and earth at the same time, and that they bring God's Kingdom, from Heaven to Earth.

The best position to be in, is full and mature sonship, operating from the Heavenly realm. Sonship is very different to ministry – many who operate on this level are not known, but they are changing the world from the heavenly realms and nobody knows, except heaven. In this realm, God pays for everything they need when they are doing what he is doing – God provides, and the sons tend the provision that he has already provided. Spiritual warfare is not carried out by fighting principalities, but from a heavenly prospective, and ministry is not about receiving an anointing or cloak or mantel, but ministering as a fully manifest son, from heaven to earth, from our position in heaven as kings, priests, rulers, and co-heirs, and ministering from the fullness of Christ who is in us. We have his power and authority. We speak His word and create, release, activate, what He is doing. We know what He is doing because we are his friend, and friends don't have to do anything, but rest in him. In leaving ministry and entering into full sonship and rest, you will have more heavenly, eternal fruit, than years of ministry.
