2 God has richly blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ Jesus for our enjoyment and knowledge in the son of whom we all form a part. The word is, enjoy in the New Jerusalem that I create, enjoy in the glory and riches of the gentiles as the light of His understanding shines forth. Isaiah 61:6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. Isaiah 66:12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. We eat the riches and the glory of the gentiles when our ears open to understand the truth; we begin to understand that all their glory actually reveal the deep thoughts of God in relation to His son and to His kingdom. Many brethren have used these scriptures to promote covetousness causing spirituality to be measured by the amount of good and riches one gathers unto Himself in this material age, but they are greatly mistaken. The riches of the gentiles flow unto us in the form of revelation knowledge of ourselves in the son (Christ). Think of it, the parables that Jesus normally spoke of and occupied Himself with, were actually things that he found delight in. Those parables and thoughts were all tapped out from the glory and riches of the gentiles, but Jesus saw and utilized them in relation to the things of the kingdom. The day comes when the eyes of understanding become so illuminated with truth, that you consciously become aware of the fact that the labors of the gentiles are all for your enjoyment in the knowledge of God. The gentiles (those walking in ignorance of the God and His kingdom), labor in vain and their labors are enjoyed by those who walk in the revelation of God s kingdom light. The power to eat, drink, and enjoy the things that men labor for in this material world of appearances is a gift which lies in the hand of God's chosen ones. While the gentile gathers earthly goods unto Himself, thinking He can get some form of satisfaction, only to breed bitterness and trouble for himself. On the other hand, those who discover themselves in the son, having the eyes of the spirit enjoy these things freely. Ecclesiastes 6:2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. Ecclesiastes 5:19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.

3 Yes, the righteous inherits all things for their enjoyment, because they walk in the revelation light of God s kingdom. When we walk in the light of His kingdom, we come aware that all things we behold and eat are holy and there for thanksgiving unto God. Timothy 4:1-5 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. Spiritually speaking, eating is that which we take into our spirit. When we walk in the light, we become conscious of the fact that all things are holy and good; we discover that all things are created and sanctified by the word of truth for thanksgiving and remembrance of God the Father and ourselves in the son. This was the knowledge in which God generated man in the beginning until he was seduced by doctrines of devils derived from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Do not touch, do not eat, do not drink, do not look, do not listen etc, are all doctrinal lies that originate from the carnal minds of men whose eyes of understanding are darkened, so that they judge after the appearances of things. This is the hour to come out of the darkness of our carnal minds, and begin to behold the glory of God. Let us no longer work in ignorance of the gentiles who walk according to the natural senses, but lets us put on the mind of Christ, so that a completely new world comes into view. It is the spiritual thought pattern of the Christ that can keep us undefiled, complete and in the perfect peace of God. As long as we walk in the revelation-light of God s kingdom, all the elements of this world will minster grace and truth about our identities in the bosom of God. When we walk in the light, we are holy, and all things appear consecrated and holy unto the living God. In the days of His ministry, Jesus would normally wonder off alone into solitary places to be alone with the Father, it is something that we all should learn to do as we mingle with this world. We should learn to seek solitary moments of meditation with the Father, far away from the hustle and bustle of this world. We should take time to search out the thoughts of God in the things that we behold and meditate on these thoughts. All others thoughts are vain thoughts which corrupts men and causes them to lose their inheritance in light. Remember, Mind how you hear ; let us stop listening to the whispers from the dust below but listen to the voice that comes from above. Some times, we will preach on subjects tapped from the riches of the gentiles. In reality they are all for the glory of Christ, of whom we form a part of. So do not let these

4 things sound a bit strange as the words go forth; we should begin gradually to divorce ourselves from the concept that God s word is the letters seen in the book called the bible, we should be aware that God s word is simply the thoughts of God as revealed by the spirit. Life cannot found in traditional repetition of letters from the bible, it is the spirit, which gives life. 2Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. The spirit took me to this Song titled ON THE WINGS OF LOVE by Jeffrey Osborne, and showed me that in this short song, the clear path to Glory and all our dreams is made manifest. I do not know the artist personally; neither am I out to know what he is up to at this moment, all I am interested in, is the lyrics of song as seen with the eye of the spirit. This is one of those songs we danced to when we had our first love relationships and were caught up and fascinated by the thing called love. Many years later, some or most of us have gone our different ways from those we felt we were inseparable from us at that point in time; some went on to marry others, some stayed single, some completely vanished out of sight, while others might have gone to the great beyond. It only confirms that the relationships that we hold unto in this material world are only temporary; no matter how affectingly tied relations may be in the flesh, they all disintegrate along with the elements of this world and fade away with time. This is why people get heartbreaks and all sorts of emotional pain; they have set their affections of that which is unreal, idols so to say. The world is passing away, and all that is it will dissolve, and the face of the world changes repeatedly with the parameters of time, so putting out affections on the things of this world will only cause pain and anguish of soul. It is like worrying for things that do not exist in reality. We are admonished therefore, to set our affections on things that are above; things in God s invisible kingdom where nothing rusts or disintegrates because they are kept eternally by the power of the word. Colossians 3:1-4 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Does this mean I should not love people? No, it does not mean that at all. This message will give light on true love that goes beyond the barriers of time; love that will carry on throughout eternity with spouses, family members, friends and all men. This type of love does not recognize the thing called the grave, because it is and has been even before fallen man invented the concept of the grave.

5 Every man s dream is to soar high above the cruelty and tribulations of humanity, only for most to end up at the bottom of the sea representing the deep dark realm of torment called hell. Some have tried different marriages and different relationships like companions, family relations; others have tried to gather riches and fame, all in an attempt to feel accepted and loved by men only to find more loneliness and pain. Every single person on the earth is searching for that missing key or second half that will unlock all the dreams that we want. Have you wondered why men of great fame on the earth are more prone to having heartbreaks, leading them into drug abuse, depression and some times suicidal tendencies despite all the money gathered and the seemingly large popularity and acceptability from many? It is simply because, as they try out all methods in search for that true missing key, they become more and more aware of the emptiness in the things they sought satisfaction; in despair, they keep trying and trying all things only to discover sorrow and pain. 1Timothy 6:9-10 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. In man s search for true love and happiness, He tries the methods of this world, which try to make the outer man of the flesh better and more presentable in this world. He tries religion to gain a sense of belonging acceptance before men, he tries gathering riches all in an attempt to attract that missing link in His life; he tries things like marriage and attempts to make a good family to find a sense of belonging before men. In all His attempts to finding that missing link to His satisfaction, He ends up discovering that the true only true love He can ever get, is His soul mate on the inside of Him which is the spirit of Christ. This union is the only union that truly exists in this world; the others are mere shadows pointing to that true union. On its own, a shadow does not exist it is not real; it is simply a dark reflection or a pointer to the real thing. When we seek true compatible companionship among men, it is like chasing after shadows, you will never get the real thing. It is only on discovering that true soul mate that we can begin find true companionship and happiness. If we ever hope to live and soar high above the limitations of mortal man, we must leave aside the shadows since in human relationships and get united with the truth who is Christ. Observe the birds that fly high in the sky, they have unlimited space with which to operate and they never have to go through the toils and hassles men go through because the creation caters for them. They do not fight for territory in the air like men fight, because they have free resources in abundance. They do not need passports to move around the sky, neither are they subject to the various laws on the earth beneath. As long as they are air bound, the wars and the disputes and the hate we see in humanity cannot affect them, they soar on in liberty, enjoying freely what is provided for them. In

6 addition to the unlimited space they enjoy in the skies, they also enjoy things of the earth freely, they enjoy freely in the toil and labor of men. All these attributes of the free bird, are possible only as long as they have wings and can fly. Mortal man who cannot fly, even though he thinks He is wise, is very much a struggler fighting for His survival. This is the impoverished state of man living outside of the glory of God in the wilderness of this world. The wilderness is the spiritual atmosphere that the nations of the earth live in; these are the nations outside the glorious city of God, The Heavenly Jerusalem. Jesus referred to these nations as he spoke to His disciples, as nations occupied with struggling for survival, what to eat what to wear etc. In their struggle for survival, they lose focus of the thing that matters most, which is their true love from the beginning. Luke 12:29-31 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. The kingdom of God or the kingdom of the heavens that we preach is a kingdom for those who can fly. It is a kingdom where the inhabitants abide in the conscious knowledge of the love of God the Father and never need to go through the struggles of the nations because all the elements of this world serve them. That thing which we all need is that smile from the face of the Lord which opens up a new eternal day of truth; As His face shines on us, the revelation of the Christ comes alive on the inside of us and we enter into oneness with the knowledge of the Christ in us. As we unite in that consciousness we then begin to arise from among the nations who are dead and ignorant of their part in Christ; we begin an ascent from the lower parts of the earth into heavens. (Just smile for me and let the day begin you are the sunshine that lights my heat within I'm sure that you're an angel in disguise Come take my hand and together we will rise). That true eternal day comes as the light of the revelation of the son (Christ) shines into the ignorance of the hearts of men living a false life of mortality. The light shines to dispel the darkness (translated distress, anguish, grave, mourning, confusion, desolation etc) of the night, which this world abides in, so that men may taste of the glory of God. At dawn of that eternal day of God, men who sleep on their beds are awoken by the messenger of the Lord (the angel in disguise), causing them to arise into a brightness of the new day where the terrors of the night are no more. The light shines forth to loosen the souls of men from the dark dungeons and prison houses of corruption where they are held captive by the darkness and ignorance of this world. The soul of men like caged birds, has been reduced a lowly struggling and limited creature who cannot fly. Thank God for deliverance because the cages are being

7 broken so that our souls can fly out of that realm of anguish and limitedness, a realm where man is reduced to a struggler who knows no rest day or night. Psalm 124:7-8 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. 8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. On the wings of love Up and above the clouds The only way to fly Is on the wings of love On the wings of love Only the two of us Together flying high, Flying high Upon the wings of love (Chorus) The glory cloud is the destination of every man who has a revelation of His origin in God. The only way to take to fight upwards into the glory cloud of God the Father is in our uniting with our soul mate, it is only in twos that we can ever fly into glory. I am the way the truth and the life, no one can come to the Father except through the Son, meaning it is only as we unite in one with the Christ that we can discover the Father. This is the only way up; any other way will lead to sorrow, pain and destruction. The two must unite if ever we seek to fly high above the clouds into the glory of the Father. We must unite ourselves with the Christ consciousness on the inside of us. At the end of Jesus ministry, we know that he was taken up into this glory cloud in a symbolic gesture. That path Jesus took upwards into the glory cloud of God was possible only as He united himself with the spirit (Christ within). Many people mistakenly think that Jesus was born perfect with a Christ consciousness right from womb of Mary, what they do not realize is that Jesus had to refuse the evil and take the good to attain to perfection. He had to lay aside His identity after the flesh and blood, and reject all that it stood for to unite to the spirit of Christ. No wonder he travailed at the beginning of the path to glory, he said the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. If he were all just perfectly one with the spirit, there would be no need for the difficult moment of decision at Gethsemane. He needed to unite with the spirit if he was to pick up wings to fly into the glory cloud of the Father. This is where our struggle and focus should be as brethren called to be partakers of God in the glory cloud of God. Like Jesus at Gethsemane, our groaning should always be, to be in unity in one with the spirit on the inside of us. It is only then we fly high above the principalities and power that rule with the scepter of wickedness in this age. Like Christ says without me you can do nothing, but with Christ all things are possible, because Christ is one and indivisible from God. Day and night, let as stand before the face of the Lord by faith like servants who wait on their servant to do His will at all time. Then he gives us wings to fly above and away from the troubles that beset the nations and ships us into a realm of dreams and infinite possibilities.

8 Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. The promise of the Lord is to quicken us and glorify us when we are joined to Him to serve Him. He glorifies us with a spiritual incorruptible nature that the powers of darkness can never reach. A new world of love and purity opens up as we grow into awareness of our inseparability from the love of Christ, We discover we are Christ and we (brethren) are one with each other. When I see my brother, I begin to see a reflection of myself in my Brother, because we are the same in all aspects. Yes you belong to me I'm yours exclusively Right now we live and breathe Each other Inseparable it seems, We're flowing like a stream Running free flowing On the wings of love. Those who find themselves in Christ discover love to the fullest, love that causes us to transcend all forms of negativity and hurts that holds men hostage to their emotions. With the conscious knowledge of the love of Christ working on the inside of us, the beam that has blocked our eyes in our carnal human existence so that we never could recognize ourselves in our brothers will be removed. The hate, the bitterness, and all forms of emotional torment, which we have suffered in our passage through this world, dissolve in a moment because the love of Christ causes us to fly over all of them. Christ is love and love is full of fruits of forgiveness, it thinks no evil, sees no evil and speaks no evil. All that love sees and perceives is love, because its eyes are focused on the truth. The hour is come for all men who can discern the truth to unit in one in Christ and start recognizing the invisible seed of Christ in all men, leave aside the associations we have had after the flesh and join ourselves to the truth. You look at me and I begin to melt Just like the snow when a ray of sun is felt I'm crazy bout ya baby can't you see I'd be delighted if you could come with me Let our eyes be single, beholding only the light ray that shines forth from the face of the omnipotent one, light which causes every layer of falsehood of a life after the flesh to dissolve, so that that innocent perfect creature of God emerges on the inside of us. Jesus has said that all who leave Brothers, Sister, Mothers Fathers, friend etc. for the sake of Christ and the kingdom will inherit all one hundredfold in the glory of the Father. We should by faith, project ourselves, family members, friends and indeed all men in Christ and walk in this light, no longer knowing men after the flesh. As we unite in this truth, a completely new world of love and perfect innocence opens up on the inside of us to the glory of God the Father.

9 With the love and innocence that comes with Christ comes a complete restoration of our faith and boldness towards the Father, so that we can flow freely like the rivers, exploring the glory of God, throughout all eternity. Abundant Love Trevor Eghagha
