I want to speak on not a simple topic. I’ve been comprehending it during a whole period of time. I’ve been observing it too, because it’s more of a worldview than of practices.
This is the one world – when it’s not two worlds, but one. It’s not so that there is an alien world and our world; or there is a material world and a spiritual one. But there is one kind of world, where there is both matter and spirit. Just like there are no two people in me, but there’s one me. I consist of the flash and blood, in which the spirit lives. This is one man.
This thought may seem clear and simple, but it is actually not so easy to keep in this. We tend to always oppose things, and this is called polarity. Bipolar world. There is such a bipolar disorder, when a person sees in two worlds. At one time he sees things one way, another time he sees things another way. This is considered to be a psychic disease.
This is serious as we often confront this issue. We oppose things and can put them together, so that we can hold to one thing.
I said it before, and so I believe that the Throne of God is so vast and great that it will be visible from everywhere in the universe. There will be no place in the entire universe where the Throne will not be visible. That’s what it is—a Throne—so that everyone can see it.
If the Lord was able to make it so that when Israel wandered in the desert for forty years, they could see a pillar of fire at night and a pillar of cloud by day from any place, from every tent, at any time, then how much more will the Throne of God be visible, so great it is!
In Revelation it says that John saw a door, and the Lord said to him, “Come up, I will show you what must take place hereafter.” And when this was said to him, he immediately saw the Throne from afar. This is one world, the world of the Throne.
The Throne was always visible. I am sure that when he saw the cups, when he saw the angels walking amidst the lampstands, the Throne was always visible. It is impossible for the Throne to be hidden somewhere around the corner of the Tabernacle building. It is not a stool. This isn’t a chair that it could hide behind a wall or some hill.
The Throne of God is visible from everywhere. I want to share with you one “crazy” thought: if you open your eyes, you will see the Throne of God! Do you hear me? Right now, in your place, you can’t be so far from God, you can’t be so engrossed or preoccupied with anything that you can’t see the Throne. Just turn your head toward the Throne. Nothing can stand between you and the Throne if you look at the Throne. You will see it, so high it is!
Why is the Throne called High and Exalted? Why is it called “exalted from the beginning”? This means it is above all creation. Think about it. Exalted from the beginning means above all creation, all the predatory mountains, all the planets, suns, spirits, Angels, Archangels—the Throne of God is above all, it is exalted, above what? Above everything! When was it? From the beginning. From the beginning of God’s creation! The Throne has been above all. Therefore, it cannot be hidden. Everything that is hidden from us is by our own decision, when we turn away from it, close our eyes, and look at something else.
If only you make the decision now, this moment, this instant, you will see it. That is, there is no obstacle that can hide the Throne from you. It is your own decision. Therefore, it is written: “The Throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctification.”
Look at the Throne and get sanctified. Look not at your problem, not at your ailment, not at your fears, but at the Throne.
“I lift up my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
I say again that there is one world, and it is whole. He created heaven and earth. Do you see? There is one world. There are no two worlds. There isn’t a spiritual and a carnal one. There is one world. There are levels of heavens, but these are the heavens of one world. Just as you are one person, there is also only one world—the world created by God.
“And darkness was upon the face of the deep.” You know, I recently heard a thought that really “exploded” and delighted me – “God created darkness!” But where did it come from? That is, did it exist before God? “Once upon a time there was darkness. Then God came and created light.” Is that the way it really was? How could darkness exist on its own? God created darkness and it was His good pleasure to dwell in it, until He entered in the material visible world from the spiritual one
Today, we need to leave all this sloppy thing behind, gather your true self inside, leave certain things out, no need to drag all kinds of “rags” in. But what remains of you of the Holy Spirit, of His fire – this you have to give to Him. This is called “surrendering ourselves into His hands.” Surrendering ourselves to His will. Don’t surrender your rags, don’t pull that stuff in. Surrendering ourselves into His hands.
And here it is: “He will not let your foot be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.” Here God promises things. Look, you do nothing at all. You lift up your eyes to the mountains, where your help come from, and you do nothing. He says, “My help comes from the Lord.” And the Lord answers him, “He will not let you be moved.” It’s not that your feet are so strong that they won’t be moved. No, He will not let you be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber; He who keeps Israel will not slumber or sleep. The Lord is your keeper. It’s not you being “protection specialist.” You know, I haven’t prayed for protection for years. Remember, I said I’d never prayed for protection, and I am alive. Some people prayed and they are gone, though they always prayed, but weren’t kept. But I haven’t, and I’ve been kept. Why? Because it is said, “The Lord is your keeper.” How do you like that?
These are serious things I’m telling you. This is heavy, every word weighs a ton. It turns out you can believe it. You can read it and believe it.
There are things you don’t have to ask for. But that will work in one case: when you believe. Some of us protect ourselves as that saying says, “Hope on God, but take care of yourself…
Therefore, you put your trust in God and believe that He won’t let your foot slip. “He who keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.” The Lord is your keeper.
“The Lord is your shade on your right hand; the sun will not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.” Look, it turns out our sun, beautiful and bright, our sweet little red and yellow sun! You can also send us evil?! This is about the last days, it’s because of the radiation, right? “The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.”
“The Lord shall keep you from all evil, He shall preserve your soul.” The Lord wrote this directly to me – I don’t know about you, but I believe this.
“The Lord shall preserve my going out and my coming in from this time forth, and even forever more!” Do you know how this works? – From this moment on and forever this Psalm works for me! Because I have read it, and I believe it! The Lord will protect and guard my going out and coming in! I receive this, I don’t know about you, but I receive it all. I receive it! This is so cool!
No, consider, if there is one world, why do we always have contradictions? Why is the devil always in our prayers? Why is there always this opposition, while there is only one world, in which God reigns on the Throne! And in this one world, I am one of the kind, loved by God! I speak again about the one world, in which there are no contradictions. You don’t understand how profound this is! I’m talking about prayer as well. When your prayer contains what I just read, it contains light only. It’s in your prayers and your worldview. As I said, this doesn’t apply to actions, but rather to your worldview.
There is only the Throne and you. And you have only one world, not two. There is no second world opposing you. In that world there are forces that control or oppose, counteract, but this is one world. And this world works to one hand. Inside a clock, the gears all turn in different directions, but they work to one hand. This is how God’s world is arranged for those who have ascended to the Throne in the mystical. Such one understands the harmony of all things. Glory to Him forever!
It’s clear that I understand that there is one world, because if it weren’t so, He wouldn’t have written how all things will be in the end. Why did He write how all things will be in the end? Because He knows where the minute-second-hour hand will be after “x” number of years. Because He started them, and this is His world. It is absolutely harmonious.
But we are filled with fear, full of contradictions. And what we can’t embrace, we place on the enemy side. What we disagree with is an “attack.” What we don’t understand becomes our fears. We don’t realize that the world was created by a great God, and it is in harmony.
If you embrace these things for at least 30% you will be much happier than you usually are.
“But I say to you – when you received the Holy Spirit and gained sight – that you resist not evil.” Do not waste energy. Do not waste energy on empty deeds. Let evil work for you. It is a good thing – use the energy of evil to your advantage.
Today, ran into a fence – I jumped over it, and my legs grew stronger, and I have another victory on my list. An evil stood before me, I could’ve gone round, but now my legs are stronger and my glory is higher.
“But whoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also”. Red cheeks are a good thing, isn’t it? “And if any man wil sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak also; and whoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two.”
Do you see, when you read this before, you read it with a view of how you should act. But “why” – you didn’t think about it. Now think, why. This isn’t about behavior, but about truth. Because we need this! Because this is one world – harmony.
How I love this! “I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where my help comes from” And there’s nothing about the devil there. He will keep you from now on and forever. Wow! This is for me personally – I’m sharing my testimony with you. Because if you don’t believe it, it’s not yours, it doesn’t belong to you. The Bible isn’t something you have on your phone. It’s God’s. And whether you’ve made it your own is up to you; these are serious matters. I can’t help you here; it’s up to you.
You know, to get jolly in our gathering is the best decision, because we are bathing in salvation as doves in milk – praise Jesus!
“Give to him who asks you, and from him who would borrow of you, do not turn away”—that is a total non-resistance to evil and violence. But this isn’t “Tolstoy,” it’s Christianity. Turn the other cheek, give away your clothes, your coat, and let them empty your pockets! Why? Because there is one world. The world of God’s harmony.
It’s amazing. I’m finding great harmony. And I’ve said that I’ve been learning this for the latest seasons. I said it’s a difficult topic. I’ve been learning this for several years now. I’m learning to see things this way, when I can trust God. I’ll be honest, it’s not easy, to see there is only one world. Sometimes you get frustrated and it just doesn’t work out. This trust implies forsaking all things, when you trust yourself… Like in this psalm I read to you by the Holy Spirit, that from this time forth He shall preserve you going out and your coming in – but for some reason it didn’t begin in your life until now, though you read it a thousand times, thought it was said by Him. Where is that measure of faith? Where is the bar, which triggers this?
I had those times of God’s visitations when you realize you may die. But for some reason you want to live and ask to live, you decide to stay and live. And when you do, you thank God for giving you another chance to live.
Life is an incredible gift! It’s a most precious gift, an incredible treasure! We can feel, love, make decisions, use our own will, have freedom to go anywhere, say anything, take actions. Life is an awesome gift.
It is foolish to be miserable in life. Life is not meant for being miserable, not meant for us to value it so low that we live a cheap life or live in bitterness, resentment, or any kind of hostility. It’s a person who is silly enough to waste his time whereas we have entered into the harmony of God, into the dimension of the Throne, the radiant Throne. The Throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of your sanctification. Sanctification is both enlightenment and holiness and ascension.
God says: “From this time forth I shall preserve your going out and coming in.” Not a word about the enemy or demons or devil.
“You have heard that it has been said, you shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy. But I say to you – not how to behave, but why – Love your enemies, bless them that curse you – because these are your workers! They work for you. They are your team, where you are the captain. Do you hear this? They work for you!
“Bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, pray for them who spitefully use you and persecute you; that you may be the children of your Father in heaven!!!”
Look, atheists made it up that man came from ape… – this is what it talks about. You are gods – it’s not about how to behave with your enemies: “all right, now you beat me, but you’ll burn then” – you say this and grow in evil. But because you will be the children of your Father in heaven, who is simply kind! Do you understand? You are kind to Darwin, to Nietzsche. He is simply kind, kind and high. And He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good. The sun rises on the evil every day, and we have billions of evil ones.
He sends rain on the unjust. Imagine the rain saying, “Well, Lord, they are unjust down there, shall I water their fields? They actually stole them”. And the Lord says “Sure you water them!” I am so happy our God is this way!
“And if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Isn’t this what the tax collectors do? And if you greet the brothers, what do you do more than others? Don’t even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore, be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” That is, be like God. This is why. Not how to behave, but why. Because He wants us to be like God. That’s why there is one world.
Simply, resist not evil. Well, it is hard not to resist.
We tend to oppose things, like the winds – there are those that blow along with us and those that blow against us. But these are the four harmonies we’ve been talking about.
Harmony with yourself.
We oppose Christian heresies – this is a struggle inside yourself. We’ve created doctrines inside ourselves that torment us, that make us miserable. For example, the idea that you’re a worthless person, that is, there is not a single good thing in me. “Lord, I know I am the last nothing on this earth. But you are so loving – praise You! Anoint me to worship You well now.” But how can a worthless nothing worship? Maybe in a worthless way only?
But gods can worship in a god way! And when we despise ourselves, we cannot give pure glory to God. Does the Lord despise us? It is written, “He will not afflict”. I think, He will neither despise. But we despise ourselves for certain things, and we come to God with that. “Lord, I come to You with sin”. Why do you come to Him with sin? Come with faith in His blood and sacrifice! The Lord despises no one. The Lord breaks no one. Think of this – this is not a harmony when you despise yourself, but you got infected on the way.
Is it pleasing for a father when his son despises himself, when he is humiliated? God raises the dignity of His sons. And therefore, I believe that the Holy Spirit always raises the dignity. Let us give glory to God!
The second harmony is with your neighbor.
And we have this: “And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household…” But think when there is one world and you resist not evil, think when you have made this inside yourself, you’ve removed all that stuff, you’ve breathed out and you resist not evil, because from this time forth He will protect you. Because there’s one world, and you see the Throne! Because all things come from the Throne; the Throne is the place of our sanctification – if you sin, you get immediately cleansed.
The third harmony is with God.
What is the biggest problem with God? The devil interferes. Do you understand? But for this huge evil we would have it all so well… You have it so great with God, but here comes the devil and tempts you, and spoils it all. That’s a lie.
And the fourth is harmony with creation.
To use creation unlawfully, to treat it wrongly—that is destruction…
Gather all things around the Throne. As one brother told me, when God began to reveal His glory to him, he almost passed out because of the delight and blissof this vision. And the main point he made was that in the glory there was a complete harmony in everything, the entire world was in harmony, with no hint of chaos.
In the glory of God, there is complete harmony. Everything is in its place. And this is the greatest revelation of the glory, that with God all things are in the right places. And everything under heaven works for Him, for His glory. When you are one world with the Throne, and you are united with Him, you have no doubts.
“Lift up your eyes to the mountains, from whence comes help? Help from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
Everything is moving toward its completion. Everything is moving toward its denouement. Everything is moving toward the revelation of the glory. Everything is moving there. And we are chosen, you and I. And if we are chosen, we are chosen for salvation and for the glory of God. That’s where we’re going. So let’s go there joyfully! Let’s go there freely! Let’s go there dancing! Because God is Almighty! He Who is on the Throne is the Ruler. He Who is on the Throne is Sabaoth, He is the Commander of the heavenly armies. He Who is on the Throne is the Omniscient. He Who is on the Throne is the Lord of All. And He Who is on the Throne is the Lord God.
The Lord is God! The Lord is God!
And it is possible to see it this way – when the world is one. And the world is not evil. The world lies in the evil, but the world is not evil. Because the world is God’s! How can it be evil when God is the Lord of the world!
How can you live and see thing this way? Only when you live in admiration and worship of God and Christ!
This is such a joy!!! Not morals, but the celebration of the glory! And God is the Lord! He is amazing! He is marvelous! There is only one world—the world of the Throne! The world of the Throne of God! Hallelujah!
