Let’s just look at where we are as the body of Christ; and let’s do that by briefly looking at where we have come from in our development. it was a frustrated Apostle Paul as he realized that the body of Christ did not assemble together, member after member, already ready for the major leagues. Matter of fact, the newly assembled and growing by each new convert, the body of Christ was barely ready for the infant-try league. Let’s say it the way that the Apostle Paul said it in scripture as he calls the Corinthian believers “infants in Christ,” and worldly: 1 Corinthians 3:2, I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. Yeah, milk is what infants feed on as their system is not able to bear solid food as the early members of the body of Christ were not able to bear the meat of the word. So obviously from our current view point, it would not have been Father-God time, for his hour had certainly not come yet at that time. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ had just left a few years earlier to go sit at the right hand of the Father; and further more, Jesus had just sent the Holy Ghost to the Church shortly after he dropped the five-fold ministry to get the church ready to walk in the meat of the word. This is a whole lot of spiritual everything to lay on the new converts with the leaders of the church also being new.
We can now look around at our members, and see just how far the body of Christ has come since that very early time in the development of the body of Christ. We can eat and walk in the meat of the word; furthermore, we have developed over all these years how to move when the Holy Ghost moves through the gifts given to members of the Body of Christ as he chooses. Theses two God head members, Jesus working the Word and the Holy Ghost working the power, have brought the body of Christ to a place of development to where it is Father Time to come do what he does: he comes ready with the will to give at levels not able to have outside of his time. Jesus brought salvation, and the word to know the will of God; and the Holy Ghost brought power, and the teaching to walk in the meat of the word with that power. We all remember how Jesus told his Apostles not to leave out on the mission until they be endued with power from on high: Luke 24:49, And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. We all know that without the word of God, there is no place to walk in God, but once you have the word from God on what to do, don’t go trying to pull it off without the Holy Ghost working with you. We hear many say all the time that all they need is the word. No, the word is needed of course, but the next level power to move mountains comes from the Holy Ghost. Many members who only walk in the word, will receive some fold of victories, but without moving into the fulness of God, they do leave much fold on the table.
Let me show you how important it is for each Godhead to have its time corporately and individually with the body in order for both to receive the most from the fulness of God. Apostle Paul has made it clear about the importance of the Church’s development as he dealt with the Church in it’s infantry phase: feeding on the milk of the word just will not cut it. Yes, Jesus has all power; but the members, his body, will need to bring development and maturity to the table in order to walk in more of the fulness of God. The arrival and structure of the corporate body, the Godhead, was one of the last things that Jesus left with the new Apostles. The Apostles did not want to see Jesus leave them, so he took this opening to set up how the corporate structure would flow. Jesus let the Apostles know that he (The Word Godhead) must leave in order for the Holy Ghost (The Power Godhead) to follow. This is the same flow that will happen for the Father (The Will Godhead) to follow when his hour has come. Let’s look exactly at what Jesus said to the Apostles as he sets up a most important phase of the corporate body of Christ structure: John 16:7, Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. Jesus can not stay on earth once the work of the first Godhead in the corporate structure, the Word, has done what it came to do. Jesus also let’s them know, it is expedient for them that he finishes and move on out of the way so that the Holy Ghost, the second Godhead in the corporate structure will follow. There are many members holding on to the Word, instead of walking and working the Word out fully. If we don’t walk and work out the Word, the Holy Ghost will not follow; and this will not be expedient to work out what’s next.
There is a great example of the corporate and individual Godhead structure in which Jesus highlights while on earth to show all levels of the Godhead structure at work as one. Jesus came upon an impotent man that lie where he was for a long time. The first phase of the corporate and the individual structure is what is the Will of the Father for this man? We know the Will because of the Word of God. Jesus, the Word made flesh, knows without a doubt to heal the man is the Will of the Father. When we come upon a situation, what to do or what not to do, we have the written Word or a Rhema Word, to let us know the Will of the Father. We can read in scripture how Jesus talks to the man to determine his faith: John 5:6-8, When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. So Jesus has the Word to heal the man; but first, Jesus exhaust the Word to qualify the man’s belief and faith: one, “Wilt thou be made whole,” and two, “but while I am coming.” These two communications with the man tells Jesus all he needs to know to heal the man. We will do the same thing when we come upon a situation with the green light from the Word to move on it. I call it exhausting the Word in order to be at full faith: meaning that there is nothing else left to do with the Word, except to move on it.
Let me take you back to the Godhead structure scripture to see the how to flow into the next Godhead, as a individual member of the body, to get more of the fulness of God. John 16:7, Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. This scripture highlights the Godhead development for the corporate Godhead structure; however, the developmental progress of the corporate structure level is mainly determined by the overall development of the many individual members in the body. We see how Jesus let the Word go after he had exhausted it, and not stand there just holding and talking anymore about the Word to heal the man. The Holy Ghost will not come to heal if we don’t step from the Word, and move into the gifts to do the healing. Jesus let go talking about the word to heal anymore with this man, and he went right into healing the man: John 5:8, Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. Once we have exhausted the Word, and been escorted by the Word for what’s next, let the Word go and step into the Holy Ghost for the healing. This is Godhead flow and structure: Colossians 2:9, For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. We in Christ Jesus have been given access to the fulness of the Godhead bodily, as the members that make up the body of Christ. Jesus also showed us in this healing of the man how to step into Father-God time, once he completed the healing of the man: John 5:17, But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. This is the fulness of the Godhead being displayed. Jesus has the Word to heal, he exhaust the Word and leaves it; the Holy Ghost comes to heal, and Jesus steps right into it; and then completes the fulness of God by completing the work that his Father had prepared for him. The Father had work on this for years, hitherto; having the man waiting until the time for Jesus to come and return the Will to the Father.
The time has come for the Father Godhead to reveal many operations to the Body of Christ to step in and return them to the Father as he has worked hitherto on these operations. We must be ready to move from one Godhead to the next in order to finish the Father’s work. Once the members as a whole body or corporate body has developed in maturity and skill level in the Word, and the Holy Ghost; then the Father Godhead can be the focus in order for the maturity and skill level to develop at the Father level. It has taken centuries from where the Apostle Paul was with the infants in Christ on the milk, to develop to where we are today at the level of the meat of the Word development, and moving into the power as needed. This is why it is now the Father Godhead hour, as we must work at that level more as a corporate body in order to have more individual members come forth into the Father Godhead level. The hour is at hand for the Father to reveal the many faith operations already waiting for us to walk in the fulness of God through the Godhead. John 4:23-24, But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The Hour Has Come! Let’s Pick-Up The Father’s Work, Hitherto!
