THE OIL IS IN UNITY

Earlier today I was thinking about the unity I have with someone in the Spirit and the tangible presence of the Lord came on me so intensely in that same moment. It was a sense of complete oneness with another and the Lord though I was sitting alone.

True union is not two-fold but rather three-fold. Our highest example is the Triune Godhead – Three persons though One. Three is also symbolic of the Spirit, and it is in the Spirit that we can really only experience true Oneness with the Lord or another person. Biblically, when two become one flesh in marriage, it is under the covenant of God, meaning it is by the Spirit they become one flesh. “A threefold cord is not quickly broken” Ecclesiastes 4:12. We look most like God when we are in unity, another reason the enemy comes to counter unity so fiercely not only in marriage but on any front is because he desires to look like God. Being that we are the image bearers of God Himself who the enemy now hates, he retaliates and disrupts to distract to distort to deceive.

Disunity begins as a disruption. The Lord gave me a picture to explain; if we are made of mostly water, think about when water is disrupted. Waves, storms, even small stones thrown in a river or pond can create a ripple. Now think of beholding your image in that body of water, now depending on the conditions when you see yourself when the waters are disrupted there can be multiple images, skewed images, distorted images, or worse yet you may not be able to see yourself at all. When the water is at peace, or when it is most still, that is when a clear image will be seen. “Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭AMPC‬‬. Do you see? In the stillness of recognizing His image within us we understand that He is God. “Becoming” is the art of creation and we are formed and transformed for Him. “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:17-18‬ ‭KJV‬‬. We were always meant to see Him!

Side note – the reason we have and need deliverance ministry is because we have unified with other spirits, knowingly and unknowingly.

Oneness through remaining in Him is how we can truly be priests; our first ministry is unto the Lord, and as we abide in Him we are able to step into unity with one another. “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” Revelation‬ ‭1:5-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Obtaining oil is a necessary part of our high calling, and though costly, there is an even greater cost when found without it. As written of in the parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25, it is clear that eternity hinges on our own personal oil.

“How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity! It’s as precious as the sacred scented oil flowing from the head of the high priest Aaron, dripping down upon his beard and running all the way down to the hem of his priestly robes. This harmony can be compared to the dew dripping from Mount Hermon, which flows down upon the hills of Zion. Indeed, that is where Yahweh has decreed his blessings will be found, the promise of life forevermore!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭133:1-3‬ ‭TPT‬‬.

Prophetically look at the numbers of this Psalm, Chapter 133 / 1+3+3 = 7 meaning complete. 1 3+3 = 6 meaning one man, two three’s but one. There are three verses that make up the entire chapter, meaning Trinity, the Spirit, unity and equal a total of three 3’s chapter and verse. 3×3 = 9 and the number nine is symbolic of birthing. I believe we even see the design of God in these numbers that read one complete re-birthing of man is in the unity of the Spirit. It is believed Jesus was 33 years old when He was crucified, the one man we need to behold. Our highest place of unity is remaining in Him, here we acquire the oil of intimacy. “My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!” Galatians‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭TPT‬‬

The Hebrew word oil in Psalm 133:2 means anointing, to shine, fruitful, ointment. I love how the Word is interwoven and testifies of itself, displaying the essence of fragrant unity. “Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

I have had a recurring vision over the last few weeks. In the vision I see myself leaning back into the chest of Jesus though I am facing forward and He is behind me. As I lean back into Him, I “disappear” and am completely in Him. Hidden in Christ. Come Holy Spirit, make us one with the Son! This is the circle of everlasting life, union with You! “For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Arise shining and burning one’s, arise!

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭60:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

THE VALUE OF OIL

The Lord impressed upon my heart to share the tremendous value of oil and trial.  He said many in the global Church may not see or understand the value of it yet, though soon will be very thankful for this opportunity and season of reconsecration. In the Spirit I felt a weight on the word value. This season has been misunderstood by many as one of unnecessary trial, though it has actually been one of great value and Mercy.  As I was writing this out with the Lord, I heard in the Spirit the word, “apprehend”.  Apprehend is defined in the Oxford dictionary as 1) arrest (someone) for a crime 2) understand and perceive, anticipate. The origin is late Middle English, originally in the sense ‘grasp hold of (physically or mentally)’.  I believe the Lord is saying He desires to arrest incorrect thinking with an invitation to grasp hold of His mind on the matter.

The Church has been in a prefix storyline of the Matthew 25 parable, The Ten Virgins. Those who were unwise are being made wise. Eyes that could not once see, have vision. What was once dark is now illuminated. Many have not understood the trial and pressing, though the hand of the Lord has allowed it as He knew the Church positionally did not have enough oil. In His mercy He has allowed the pressing because the olive fruit must be crushed and pressed to obtain the oil. We need the extra oil for the journey as it is in the darkest time of night, at midnight, before the Bridegroom appears and this extra oil is essential to see as He leads us to the door of the wedding feast. In this parable the wise virgins trimmed their wicks and had extra oil (in flasks or vessels). Symbolically the Lord has been cutting away from our wicks, removing that which would hinder us from shining brightly that we may know, hear and see Him rightly in this dark hour.  Through the crushing we have paid the price and bought oil, and will be prepared to make the journey in the dark night. 

There is a global call in the Spirit to awake and meet the Bridegroom, “Now while the bridegroom was delayed, they all began to nod off, and they fell asleep. But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look! The bridegroom [is coming]! Go out to meet him.’” Matthew 25:5-6 AMP. The Greek noun for meet here means to ‘have a meeting with’ or ‘encounter’. The golden lampstand was in the Tent of Meeting, in the Holy Place – the entrance way to the Holy of Holies or place of encounter and gave light to the entire tent. We are New Testament priests through Christ the Messiah our High Priest and in the order Melchizedek. In the Old Testament it was Aaron who was a representation of the consecrated Levitical priestly line who was instructed to keep the lamps burning CONTINUALLY, and so shall it be unto us as we now have the honor to carry out this priestly order. The Lord once again is removing veils that separate us from encountering Him in the Most Holy Place. “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Command the children of Israel to bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light [of the golden lampstand], to make a lamp burn continually. Outside the veil of the Testimony [between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place] in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall always keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening until morning; it shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations. He shall keep the lamps burning on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.” Leviticus 24:1-4 AMP. 

The vessels containing extra oil in Matthew 25 are described in the Greek as having a bend, meaning a container that can be filled. Where is the infilling of oil? The Holy Spirit supernaturally fills and refills these vessels with oil. Money cannot purchase this oil, for it is bought with the reward of pressing and suffering, the reward of abiding and intimacy with the Son, the reward of dying to self;  all rewards of spiritual wealth are contained here for the price for buying oil is costly as it is the first fruit offerings from your very life. 

In His goodness, the Lord has ‘bought us’ time with Him in this last season; the olive is a fruit and to bear fruit we must abide and remain in Him. ““ I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit]. You are already clean because of the word which I have given you [the teachings which I have discussed with you]. Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.” John 15:1-5 AMP.  Abiding and remaining in Him is a personal choice. Consecration is a choice. Bearing fruit is for all, though some have good fruit while others have bad fruit. 

Your daily decisions have never mattered more, as the weight of eternity hinges on them. It is a narrow road to the door, and few find it…

There is still time. Do not despise this pruning but yield to the Spirit as the Lord desires to prepare you for your most glorious and shining hour!
