A paradigm shift means a change in direction or pattern.
The church is ready to experience such a shift.
We, the body of Christ, are now entering into the time of the "Dispensation of Grace."
Jesus is the "Grace of God."
Jesus has now become the veil and we must go through and beyond Him so we can enter boldly into the Holy of Holies.
This is not a painting about death or dying.
It is about us moving higher and deeper into the things of God.
It is about us living and dwelling in the supernatural realm.
It is about all our needs being supplied; whether they are spiritual or physical.
The knowledge and the revelation and the wisdom of God is now being opened up to us through and by Jesus.
The cornucopia represents overflowing abundance, more then enough because God always does more then we could possibly imagine.
God always does exceeding abundantly above what we can ask or think.
God is now making a separation through religion and tradition.
These are the walls that hold us back from the true knowledge of God.
Jesus is calling us out from man made religion and tradition; and away from the nostalgia and sentimentality of now things used to be. He is calling us into a deeper place: a deeper place of the knowledge and the wisdom of God.
Jesus is calling His sheep out of the world and His blood is like a red carpet that we can walk on because we are royalty.
His blood still flows freely and it has and will never lose it's power.
Jesus is standing in what we think of as outer space or the heavenlys but it is really eternity. It will continue to go on and on and on forever throughout all the ages.
There has to be a separation and a distinction between the world and God's people.
God wants us to come up higher; Deep calls to Deep.
There are only a few true Shepard's leading the flock because the harvest is great but the laborers are few.
The true Shepard's are always pointing the way to Jesus.
And they will lay down their lives for their sheep.
Sheep need to be constantly on the move, to greener pastures.
If they stay in the same place there will be no food for them and they will starve to death.
We must get out of our comfort zone and move ahead into the unknown.
We must go beyond the four walls of the church building and pursue after the deeper things of God. |
