Judges 6:6-22 v20 And the angel of God
said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon
this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
The Flesh and Body of Jesus Christ was
laid on That Rock and the broth was symbolic of His Blood…. Can you hear and
see God’s Sign even then….. Gideon asked
for a sign that he was really talking to God, so God’s angel provided one… and
I see the revelation of the Son here too. Our Sure Foundation.
Isaiah 28:14-16 v16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God,
Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a
stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he
that believeth shall not make haste.
The foundation in this verse is A STONE….
not many but one tried, corner stone.
Hmmmm….
Matthew 16:15-19 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I
am? And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said
unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it. And I will give
unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on
earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall
be loosed in heaven.
A Sure Foundation IS the STONE, the
ROCK, which is Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.
But if you’ll notice that once a
‘revelation’ … a revealing of truth is made known to you by the Father, then
you are CHANGED, and become One with that revealing/revelation. That’s why
Jesus speaks to Simon Barjona and changes his name to Peter. A change took place within him.
Thus it is, in the renewing of our
mind, by the Holy Spirit, for as He speaks and makes known God’s word to us, We
Are Changed INTO the Same Image. Where
ever the Lord, that Spirit appears, a change takes place… a birthing of His
Divine Nature.
Philippians 3:21 who shall change our
vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to
the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
2 Corinthians 3:18 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.
Now, back to the foundation, which is
that Rock upon which we stand…. There are multitudes of revelations here if you
will allow the Father to reveal the Son to you:
This Corner Stone is the first stone to
set the structure of the building. Then the Apostles of the Lamb that are the
12 foundations of the wall of the city of God, were added to it. They became one with Him as the foundation.
Now the church, His body, has a place to function through – a place to work
from – a dwelling for the family of God in heaven and earth to tabernacle in.
Is God making you part of His
Foundation? (Hear this with Spiritual
ears of understanding or you’ll go off balance.) Look at 1 Corinthians 3:3-16. Here Paul is telling them that we are all
labourers together with God, being His building, and husbandry. Everyone has their God given place to stand
and work to do. Each are important and
to be respected by one another…. knowing there is only one sure foundation –
verse 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ.
Yet all will be tried with fire… just
like in verse above of Judges 6:20-22.
!! Read 1 Corinthians 3:3-16. We
are to stand upon that Foundation which is the TRIED STONE, CORNER STONE… THE
ROCK that is our SURE PLACE to be, the Stone that Guides, Balances, Secures,
Establishes the rest of the building. There, on that Rock, God’s presence will meet
us, commune with us, consume us, and reveal to us that truly we are
encountering the Lord God face to face.
Amen.
