Understanding Contemplation

We are to be faithful in prayer; we are to be faithful in prayers of supplication, petition, intercession, and etc. before moving on to the prayer of contemplation. A person should be fruitful and faithful in personal prayer life and knowledge in prayer before entering into the prayer of contemplation. –(1 Tim. 2:1)

The Prayer of Contemplation is a prayer of centering on God, long waiting times upon the Lord, which leads to supernatural encounters from the Throne Room. –(Hab. 2:1, Dan. 9,10, Acts 10)

The Lord will act for the one who waits upon Him, those who wait upon the Lord shall come into renew and grow wings of the supernatural to fly and enter into Throne Room Encounters. There is a time that you will come into your Christian walk in your prayer life when you will be still and know that your God is God. Be still and know that I am God. –(Isa. 64:4, 40:31, Psa. 46:10)

During the prayer of contemplation you enter into deep peace of God that will surpasses all you’re understanding, and the love of God passes knowledge, and you will have joy inexpressible. –(Phil. 4:7, Eph. 3:19, 1 Pet. 1:8)

In the prayer of contemplation you will come deep and go from the deep to the deep of the Lord. The prayer of contemplation is deep calls unto deep. –(Psa. 42:7, 1,2)

The Prayer of contemplation begins with three steps/three phases, which are prayer of recollection, prayer of quiet, and the prayer of ecstasy. –(Psa. 37:4)

Before you begin to practice contemplation get your house in order, prepare your heart, have a recorder ready, so you can write those times down, set a full day apart, and even have another day back up, if you go for one to the next. Set the whole day apart, sleep good the night before, pray in a relaxing and comforting place, eat good before you begin, and a drink of water beside you, and set the alarm clock before you begin. The prayer of contemplation will take more hours and most of your day, if you go into the supernatural encounters of the God kind it will even take longer, that is why you set two days apart for the prayer of contemplation, you may not see any real fruit the first times, keep practicing and allow the Lord to do the work of contemplation, contemplation is a work of the Lord not your work, only you need is grace for contemplation. Contemplation is not for trying, it is for faithful practicing and allowing the Lord to led you and dealing with you, while you wait upon the Lord.

The Lord is restoring the prayer of contemplation, we have entered into the restoration of the prayer of contemplation, and each prayer of faith and each prayer of the Lord will be restored. There has begun a prayer movement of the prayer of contemplation that the Lord wants many to be apart of, to have visitation, which will give a manifestation of the Spirit in our lives. –(Col. 3:1-4, Rev. 4:1)

The Torah and Love

The Torah and Love

Elvis Iverson

The Torah is for today, Christ never done away with the Torah; instead He brought the fullness of the Torah, and at the Feast of Pentecost was a new day for the Torah through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the Lord is restoring the Torah to the Church in our generation, to prepare the way for the salvation of Israel. –(Matt. 5:17)

In Christ we can walk in the fullness of the Torah, the Torah does not save, we are save only by grace and faith in Christ, and however in Christ the Torah is reborn under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. When you come to know Christ the Holy Spirit comes into your heart and pours out holy love, it is through love we fulfill the Torah. —(Rom. 6:14, 5:1,5)

Every believer has been giving grace, Spirit and Truth to apply the Torah by walking in holy love; every believer has holy love in their hearts by the Holy Spirit who dwells in them. If you can walk in love, you can by the Spirit, and then you fulfill the Torah. If you fulfill the Torah you will be happy indeed. It is not to keep the Torah it is apply the Torah through grace, truth, Spirit, Life, love and faith. The Lord has giving us the insight to fulfill the Torah to apply the Torah, this is love. If you love your brothers and sisters in Christ and walk in love you fulfill the Torah; that is how simple the Torah is to be for us in Christ. –(Rom. 13:8,10, Gal. 5:14)

Let me give you some insight about the simplicity of the Torah, which is five parts: The Ten Commandments, The Sabbath, The Seven Feasts of the Lord, Love, and Faith. This is what I call is the simplicity of the Torah. –(Jn. 1:14, Rom. 8:1-2)

The Ten Commandments: When we come to Christ the Torah is written upon our hearts through the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit pours out love in our hearts, it is through love we fulfill the Torah. –(Rom. 13:8-10)

The Sabbath: The Sabbath is for today, we as gentile believers in Christ are free, but willing of our own free will we can apply the Sabbath Rest, it is a day to worship the Lord in your home, it is a day to enjoy with your family, and teach your children the Word of God. There is a blessing if you apply the Sabbath. –(Col. 2:16)

The Seven Feasts of the Lord: The Seven Feasts of the Lord are for today, they are eternal, and we can apply them today, yes as gentile believers in Christ are free, but willing of our own free will apply the Seven Feasts of the Lord, there is a blessing if you do apply them, one application is to fellowship with your loves ones in your home during those days. –(Col. 2:16)

Love: Yes love is the key to fulfill the Torah, the application of the Torah is to be simple, and how simple does it get, it is the love of God in your hearts, that Holy Spirit has giving you, you love God and you love one another, and walk in love. –(Rom. 13:8,10, Gal. 5:14)

Faith: Genesis is the first book of the Torah, faith came before the Ten Commandments, it the life of faith that we are called to live, to believe in the Word of God, and to have faith, for without faith it is impossible to please Him. Abraham is the Father of faith, and faith was before the Ten Commandments, without faith you cannot please God, you may apply The Ten Commandments, but without faith you don’t please God. –(Gen. 15:6, Rom. 1:17, Heb. 11:6)

So you can see if you say you keep the Ten Commandments, and have not love you lie, and any ways no man can keep the whole Ten Commandments, this is why there is grace. We apply the Torah in love and faith and that is how we have the life of the Torah, which is life of the Spirit. –(Rom. 8:2)

We are more likely warring against the other thieves, which are religious people under the influence of evil spirits. –(Jn. 10:10, 7-11)

All the enemies of the Lord will be brought under His footstool; this is a prophecy, and the church will take out most of the enemies of the Lord before the return of Christ, and at the return of Christ will be the finial end of darkness. –(Psa. 110, LK. 10:1,19, Matt. 10:1, 19:28)

Understand the Lord’s Supper

Understand the Lord’s Supper

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The foundation Scriptures of the Lord’s Supper is based on Matthew 26:17-30, 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, and Acts 2:42,46. The traditional view of the Lord’s Supper, taking communion may not be biblical? –(Matt. 15:3)

The application of the Feast of Passover is the Lord’s Supper in the church in your house. The first communion is Jesus and the first apostles enjoying the Feast of Passover, you must see the connection between the Feast of Passover and Communion of the Lord’s Supper.

The Church in your house is the application of Communion. Believers will come together to fellowship with one another, in the church in the home, believers are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the Church fellowships and meets in homes, not for the reason there was no buildings to meet in, instead for the reason of the home realm of fellowship that the Lord wants the Church to enjoy.

Coming together for fellowship and eating together in the church in your house, in your home, believers will gather in homes for church meetings to fellowship, eat together, share with one another, pray for one another, sing to one another, minister to one another, and this is the communion of the Lord, this is the Lord’s Supper.

The communion meal was eating together, having a love feast in the home, believers will come together and eat together a full meal, then begin to minister to one another, and this was the Lord’s Supper.

The Lord’s Supper is vertical relationship with the Lord; the Lord’s Table is horizontal relationship with the believing community, this was the church in your home, this is biblical communion. The Table and the Supper are distinct, but they are not separate. –(1 Cor. 11:25-26, 11:16-22)

The Lord is restoring the church in the home, He is beginning to bring restoration to community in the church, which is the church in the home, and He is beginning to bring a revival of the priesthood of all believers, and this begins in the church in the home.
