Jesus' prayer


The EU Prayer Trip

Around 2018, God called me to go out of the house I had been living in and to seek the land where I would live and serve.
There were dark clouds gathering, but my focus was the source of the awakening that began many decades ago. So I set out, spent years in the UK, and travelled around getting to know communities in search of MY place in the Heavenly Kingdom.
At the time, there was no sign of hard Brexit. There was no way of knowing about the collapse of the Eastern Prayer Background and Defence Line. And of course we didn't even know about the existence of the war forces and processes that had been brewing since 2008 around the Slaw area.
This blog is a record of my personal spiritual journey.
The blog is a non-linear, non-consecutive notice. Articles around here contain links to each other or to the associative Internet URL.
I wanted to write down and share the latest information and biblical insights I have gathered in my 6+ years of traveling in EU. It was a rich milestone: learning about the Church, the History and about the modern western European society. Studying and getting more knowledge about the working, vital Kingdom of God... Seeing the Kingdom of Heaven, which many want to achieve by earthly means and according to their own imagination... The Kingdom - which, despite these human “efforts” - is graciously and abundantly poured out by the lavish grace of Gd, secured by the Redemption and the precise teachings (navigation) of Jesus...
Jesus Christ makes it clear:
“My kingdom is not of this world”
Jn 18:36
We can build up religious communities - without any saving power. Or we can follow Jesus' mindset :
‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
the Gentiles seek after all these things, your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Mt 6:31-33
This is the Heavenly Dynamic, the "cause and effect" which drives a Christ follower community by the Mighty Holy Spirit. I have seen this testimony and teaching in the real life.

The Purpose of the Blog

  • Are you challenged by the noise of the world and the modern disinformation of the internet?
  • Do you want to understand how to find a path and fervour in your Christian community?
  • Are you enthusiastic and willing to learn to see gifted and authentic creatives in your small groups?
  • Are you a dedicated leader who wants to see authentic, dedicated everyday people around you?
  • Do you want to see a breakthrough in the society around you, saving and nourishing the different strata of the village/town community through the Christian faith?

The domain

disclaimer
I believe that in this increasingly noisy and chaotic world, the Christian man & woman has yet to see the foundations laid by Christ.
These principles {kingdom, identity, authority, leadership, stewardship, servant life, priesthood, reciprocity, community, charity-love} are clearly visible if we observe the Master as He dwells in his father's presence, as He prays and as He acts. His main statement is that the Kingdom of God has come. Christ has not only proclaimed it but has expressed it in countless ways. He speaks of this, for example, through the Holy Spirit in the letter of the Apostle Peter when The Word mentions the royal priesthood as a representative. 1Peter 2:9 This teaching is very far from the modern, bit crippled protestant image of the priesthood and the merely to do list - talking model in the post modern churches.
The Kingdom is the domain of Gd the King. He is the God Most High. He is the Everlasting All-Mighty. He is the Son: Prince of Peace. He is the Way, Truth, Life. When we gaze Him we see: The kingdom is the reflection and radiation of His Holines, Goodness, Might and His marvelous Heart.
Reflection, radiation in the Heaven, reflection, radiation on the Earth — this is our heritage: represented by our new life, by our worship, praise, adoration, prayer and charity, mercy in action. According to the Christ and his apostles this is the Priestly manner which is the base for our (priestly) life. The apostles testify to this. If we obey this testimony, we will be part of their life, we will be part of the active apostolic system of authority, but more over: we will be part of the Heavenly Rest. This is our start point! Jesus Christ has an encouragement for us - often underestimated, rarely understood:
do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
...
if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
...
do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
Fear not, little s flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

My Journey in the Spirit

In my spiritual journey I have come across various useful (working and effective) model in concrete situations. I also found some surprisingly neglected aspects of the Kingdom /priesthood, and the believer's heritage in the post modern Protestant spiritual life.
Although the Jesus model and the apostolic teaching call all peoples to salvation, I have been shocked to find that the New Testament is represented by many as a kind of "Reformed Jewish" system. I also found that many people funda­mentally do not understand the new, Christian ID: our new, adopted status, our new life, the heritage (Tit 3:7; Jms 2:5; 1Pt 3:7), and consequently, the authority of the Christian Life. Last but not least: I found a great need: restoring the function and dignity of the Melchizedek Priesthood. Since Christ is the High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek – we are the priesthood in His order. (Heb 7:11-19 and 1Pt 2:9)
This is a far higher and older spiritual culture than the post modern "Judeo-Christian" culture is talking about.

Do you want the original one?

It seems that some of the basic aspects of our ID, some original, apostolic doctrine should be refreshed and taken literary as a timeless model. I found that the apostolic "lifestyle" and some teaching on our personal life-form are based on our identity. They cannot be practised only symbolically. In the kingdom - they are to represent the core of the believer's daily life in the heavenly family. If Jesus is the Christ & the Firstborn: we are His co-heirs (Rom 8:17; Tit 3:7) please take it seriously. As for me: they are the real motivating tasks and I believe this is the only narrow path for the Christian man/woman today.
That is why much of this blog focuses on the New Self, the general Priestly identity of Christians and its many expressions in the Adoration and Worship Culture.

Testimonies

I would also like to share dozens of biblical testimonies about our adopted and accepted life in Christ and sharing couple of directions to our priestly service - regardless of protestant or other religious approaches.
I have visited various church communities, fellowships, home groups and got to know "Western" forms of Protestantism up close.
In this way I have some thoughts that have been formed about the Kingdom of the Lord in the Heaven and His wife, the Church on the Earth. As it usual is: the Lord has been teaching me about Himself and myself.

Re-formation is not a historical event

Surprisingly: These "ideas" are not new, nor revolutionary, but they often seek the Re-formation: not an approach to theology, not understanding the 2nd 3rd century of church... but an understanding of the apostles' mindset, heart, "asking" them as contemporaries: why they think, why they talk the way they do.
And basically, asking for the Lord's help on perspective and wisdom.

His Kingdom

The letter kills. (2Cor 3:6) The Spirit of the Holy gives Life. The mere letter brings thesises into the existentialist structure. Meanwhile Jesus says:
My kingdom is not of this world..
Seek first his Kingdom...

or: Your Kingdom come...
..as it is in the Heaven..
I must repeat this sentence, because I truly believe that Jesus's priestly prayer has the main keys to the powerful life and His authority starts with the authority of the kingdom.
Do you want to live in His authority to be light, to save people's life, to raise a flag/banner over the nations?(Isa 5:26; 11:12)
Then the Kingdom is not a parable for you.
When Jesus appeared on the earth and started his active service, he immediately focused on the Heavenly Kingdom. He proclaimed: the Kingdom has arrived. (Mt 12:28)
This is the seal of His ID. Jesus is the King and "Kingdom" means: His authority.
His Kingdom starts with His Throne. On the Earth - as it is in the Heaven.
And some faithful understands this. The Throne is being built through the adoration, praise, worship, proclamation, visions, plans, commands, by executive powers, representatives... heavenly and earthly realms.

Let us remember one of the most important representatives of the divine kingdom on earth, Israel's greatest king-prophet, David. He had so much desire to be with the Lord, so much need to live according to His mighty heart, that he built a tent for the personal worship, for adoration, praise and honor, and for the representation of his worship before the nation.
He did this despite the fact that he was an Israelite king, and it is a capital offence under the Mosaic Law, as only a desig­nated person on duty can do this. He did this because his faith was rooted in his close relationship with Gd Almighty. It's been a long journey to reach the top of responsibility. God trained David through the life of a shepherd, through the service of a king, through much struggle and strife, through brokenness and restoration. He became a great leader, representing a great model of the responsible, faithful, dependent godly person.
David was a great leader,
representing a great model
His reward? A new, glorious dynasty, a new prophetic and political financial line, a new free status for his nation, new healthy connections and prosperous country - with confrontations among the un-godly.
Every challenge, emerging by the newly connected {or: dis­connected} human society, or every questions in the {virtual} marketplace, or every communication forms in this millennium - derived from the Worldly Domain.
Meanwhile, every eternal power, authority, richness and infinite beauty was given us from/by the Heavenly Kingdom, for His glory.
..you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Acts 1:8
..everything is yours — whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas {Peter} or the world or life or death or things present or things to come — everything is yours, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
1Cor 3:21-23
..we always pray for you that our God will consider you worthy of His calling, and will, by His power, fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith, so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified by you, and you by Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Thess 1:11

We can see: The believers' community is the glorious representative of the Kingdom. This is Our privilege: being the representative of the Kingdom.
According to the apostolic mindset We, Christians represent
• The daily, continual tasks of the Priesthood { continual adoration, honor, prayer, worship}
• The real, heavenly, caring family with storge and filia love, plus, radiated shared agape love around us}
• The incarnate Word {based on the proclaimed recorded word} in bodily form, in mercy and grace, via missional activities
We, Christians represent..
Our Father, the Mighty Gd, the Holy Provider gives the source of our ID. HE has been graciously giving the Holy Spirit for our earthly wandering. The Church family is our spiritual Home. The Son has given us a new life, but he also provided a prayer model, an intimate communication, a way that shows us the balance of life, eg. how to focus on heavenly tasks and our daily tasks.
