My Side of the Line

I saw in the Spirit tonight that line that is being drawn by the Holy Ghost, a line being drawn. And if I hadn’t spent so much time lately studying the Torah, I wouldn’t have known what it meant.

You’ll remember there’s several places in the Bible, and it was the part of the sealing of a covenant in the time of the Bible, that often a line was drawn representing one side of the covenant on one side of the line, the other party in the covenant on the other side of the line. And they would cross over the line, just step over the line. And when they were doing that, it was a symbol of that that was between them. And it was a symbol of accepting the terms of the contract.

I saw the line, and then I saw… It sounds strange, but I saw what looked like roast, big pieces of meat lined up across that line. First a line, and then I saw those big plump pieces of meat lined up along that line. And I’ll talk to you a little bit later about it with some Scripture. But it represented the sacrifices.

And we know that we’re not giving those kinds of sacrifices to God. He wouldn’t have them from us if we tried to give them to Him. He wouldn’t take our meat offering. If we killed a lamb and brought Him a lamb, He wouldn’t receive it from us. Our service to the Lord is not sacrifice. Our service to God is not about sacrifice, it’s about what? It’s about obedience.

When God comes by the Spirit and draws a line in the sand, He’s presenting to us a Covenant. He’s presenting to us a way of life. He’s presenting to us a choice. And He’s saying, “You can stay on your side of the line, or you can come to My side. You can cross over that line and enter into Covenant agreement with Me tonight.”

Somebody said, “Well, I’m saved. I’m sanctified. I’m filled with the Holy Ghost. Am I not already part of the Covenant?”

I’m more or less talking about what God is going to do. You see, as I was sitting there tonight I saw that line. I heard the Voice of the Lord. And He said these words, “I’m pleased.”

Now when I look around in the flesh, I don’t see so much for God to be pleased within us. But God said, “I’m pleased.”

And I sat there searching the Spirit. “Lord, what are You pleased about? What has brought You pleasure?”

And He spoke so sweetly to my spirit that we have pleased Him because we have stretched ourselves beyond tradition, and we’ve made a good decision.

God said it’s a prophetic act to establish in the spiritual realm that the order of the priesthood is changing – the promise that God has been giving us over and over through the years that the last ministry of the End-time would be a change and that the Spirit would not operate among us in the order of the Levites, but it would operate among us in the Order of Zadok.
