The Indescribable and Inexpressible Gift!
Dear fellow soldiers, there is a realm of the Glory of God I desire for each of you to know that is so exquisite that it can not be fully described in human words. It is opened through a rare type of faith in the heart of believers that gives great pleasure to Abba. The pleasure that our Abba enjoys in this exemplary lifestyle of His peculiar priesthood and remnant…is beyond our human understanding. This pleasure-inducing realm is so exquisite that it is described by the Apostle Peter as joy unspeakable and full of glory (I Peter 1:8). It is a sphere of living that is inexpressible and unspeakable in its greatness and majesty. It is a divine mystery that takes your breath away and exceeds the powers of human speech and thought…and it is none other than the ministry of giving!
I encourage you today to read chapters II Corinthians 9-11 (there is that 911 number sequence again!), and look at the pleasure Abba receives from your lifestyle of joyous and cheerful giving. Don’t get bogged down in the specific promises of what Abba will do for us personally (the ME-isms) in these chapters…but rather read the whole context of how much thanksgivings and the aroma of unity that develops when we give and enrich one another. And then hold that concept close in mind, and then move fluidly in seeing the macro that this is the same indescribable realm of graceful giving that is also mentioned in chapter 12 when the Apostle Paul describes being caught up into paradise and hearing inexpressible words which man is not permitted to speak! The indescribable gift of giving in chapter 9 is directly akin to the inexpressible words of Paradise. And this is the realm He is wooing us into when we step out and give sacrificially with a willing prompt-to-do-it, cheerful, and blissful will!
However, be aware that in chapters 10 and 11 Paul warns us that there is a campaign of spiritual warfare that is detailed against you and I to attempt to hinder us from this exquisite and indescribable pleasure-inducing realm of giving! It is very interesting to see that the only place in the New Testament that demonic strongholds are mentioned working in sync with satan disguising himself as an angel of the morning light is right here! I do not want to give you the specific text references now because it will cause you to miss this macro context woven around these popular “giving” Scriptures. Instead read II Corinthians 9-12 as a whole flowing river and notice the immense strongholds the enemy has planned to be embed in our minds and thoughts to hinder us from entering this most glorious realm that human words cannot understand or even be allowed to speak! This is the true spiritual warfare against all of us today!
This gift of giving unto Abba as a faith lifestyle is an indescribable gift. The enemy therefore, releases a war against our entry into this realm by peppering all of us with mental speculations to build strongholds that challenge you against giving and thus not know the true intimate knowledge of Abba. So…the weapons Abba has correspondingly given to us is so divinely powerful that it is for the tearing down and destruction of these mental maximum security fortresses. (Paul uses an ancient Greek word here to describe these fortresses in our minds are similar to the very formidable prisons of ancient Egypt).
Continuing in chapter 11, this realm of being a supernatural giver is so exquisite that the Apostle Paul is moved to godly jealousy to keep us betrothed as a pure virgin to Messiah (the ultimate gift to Him). Knowing that satan as a serpent, will muster all of his operational objectives to led our minds (there is the potential prison strongholds again) from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Messiah! And it is in this context of warfare that the manifestation of false apostles enters into this end time drama.
I’m thus seeing this morning (in the early morning light of His glory), a new exposure and reproof of the false light of deception that is coming from the one who as once called the Star of the Morning (Isaiah 14:12). The number one stronghold that these storm troopers (the front line false prophets and apostles) are sent to hinder the Bride of Messiah in…is from knowing this indescribable realm entered into by sacrificial giving! Can we see this today in the Body of Messiah? I believe we can now see this subtle digression clearly in a new light by the way in which many ministries emphasize material returns in their financial giving messages. There is nothing wrong in believing for a material return in your giving, the Scriptures teach this…but this is should not be the motivation to invoke God’s people to give! This was not Paul’s emphasis in these chapters!
Let me attempt with human words to explain what I’m seeing this morning from these Scriptures…. The deception of the angel of light and his false workers brings is when the message of joyous giving described in chapter 9 focuses on what you will get from being a cheerful giver, rather than where you will go!
Of course, we all know by reading the Scriptures that God promises a huge transfer of wealth to His people in the last days (Haggai 2, etc…), but where the enemy gets people deceived and into a prison camp in their thoughts is in the continual mediation on the outcome (or harvest) of their giving. He subtly gets believers to focus on the material prosperity and not on the real prosperity of knowing and experiencing this supernatural realm of paradise that Paul was not even allowed to speak about!!!!
We must pull down the strongholds in our minds and purify ourselves of this leaven of deception we have been possibly drinking concerning our goal of why we give! Are we giving to get something or to go somewhere? I want go and live in this realm of the inexpressible and unspeakable of His bliss of giving! How about you’ all!?
There is a lot of deception today in the current prophetic movement (as we have been warning you guys about for years now), so let us this morning cleanse ourselves with this fresh light of revelation from the Scriptures and focus our lifestyle of peculiar and cheerful giving towards not what we will receive back from God (that is already so earthly and elementary and thus expected by even the laws of seed time and harvest), but let us instead focus all of our pure passion on where we are going when we give sacrificially! It is the state that is so indescribable and glorious that Paul himself was not even allowed to speak about it!
This is my bottom line reason for giving you guys an open opportunity to sow into OPERATION IMMINENT TRUMPET phase II. I want you to experience this realm and sphere of indescribable joy and pleasure in Him! I have been in the deep waters of inexpressible joy lately and I desire to help everyone find this camouflaged entrance into this secret place of bliss!!!
I do not desire your gift…but I do desire this fruit of this realm of paradise to be your earthly sphere of living (Phil. 4:17).
See ya here again soon in His morning light….
In His War Footing,
Scott and Dalit
