HIS APPEARING

By Alyce McPherson

Micah 4:1:But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

Isaiah 25:7-8:

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the Vail that is spread over all nations. ⁸He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

The end of an age has come, and a new day is at hand. A governmental system as we have know it in the past is passing away with a great noise. Included in the system that is passing away is a church age that has become adulterated with the teachings and doctrines of men.

When an age is ready to pass away, it must remain until it is fulfilled according to the purpose in which it was given. There are seven dispensations in the plan and purpose of God for man. The dispensation of innocence, conscience, human government, promise, law , grace and the dispensation of kingdom.

A dispensation is a period of time in which something is dispensed. The dispensation of innocence was fulfilled when Adam fell from the realm of spirit into the realm or dispensation of conscience. The dispensation of human government was a result of man's consciousness of being separate from God. When God gave Abraham the promise of a son, the dispensation of promise was in effect until Abraham produced the son of promise, Isaac.. When Jesus came He was born under the dispensation of the law of Moses. We know He came to fulfill the law and institute a new order in the earth, a dispensation of grace..

In St. Like 16:16,18 we read the following:

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. ¹⁷And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. ¹⁸Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

He declared, "The law and the prophets were until John; since that time the kingdom of God is preached and every man presseth or seized into it." He was telling the religious leaders of the law that the age of the law had come to an end with the preaching of John the Baptist. He continued to say however, "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail." He was saying that even though the law was passing away, it could not pass until every jot and tittle was fulfilled. He then made the following statement that to the natural mind seems totally out of context with what He was saying. "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery."

A state of adulteration takes place when one substance is mixed with another. He was using the object lesson of an adulterated relationship between a man and his wife as an example. He was really telling them that the law could not intermingle with the new age at hand, but that before the new could come upon the scene the old must be fulfilled in it's demand.

The scripture tells us that Jesus was born of a woman, born under the law that He might redeem those under the law. Remember the law was spiritual, but man in his carnality could not understand the spiritual meaning of it's commandments. As a result it became "the law of sin and death." Jesus came and saw Himself in it's pages and declared:

Psalm 40:7:

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

He saw Himself as a fulfillment of the law. He knew that all the commandments were written concerning Him. He became a manifestation of the law, and thereby changed it from a law of sin and death into the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus!

The Church age (dispensation of grace) was born when Jesus broke Himself as bread to His twelve Apostles. The words He spoke were Spirit and they were life, but could not be spiritually understood by the twelve until the day of Pentecost came and Jesus returned in the form of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost they received brought to their remembrance the word He had given them and upon these divine principals the early church was born and began to thrive in spite of great persecution.

During this time Israel was governed by the nation of Rome. Rome was paganistic in it's worship of God, and began to persecute the early church. When the warfare against the church failed, a Roman by the name of Constantine converted to Christianity, joined the church and defiled it by bringing with him traditions and doctrines of Pagan Rome thus, Pagan Rome became Papal Rome . The Pope took the Word of God and translated it into Latin, a language the common person could not read and the power and authority of the early church was given to Papal Rome which in turn became the seat of Christianity.

When the early church passed into the wilderness of papal Rome two thousand years ago clothed in the sun, it emerged 1260 years later clothed in garments that related to it's wilderness journey.

When the reformation of the church began with Martin Luther many denominations were formed and the church found itself divided in it's belief.

Isaiah 44:3-5:

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: ⁴And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. ⁵One shall say, I am the Lord's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

The denominational system of the church age during the dispensation of grace, has been the ruling heavenly authority for the past two thousand years. Each denomination created an image according to it's separate interpretation of divine scripture and because each order was based upon a Spiritual truth the church system has thrived and been blessed in a measure.

When Herod questioned the authority of Jesus; His answer was:

Luke 13:32

And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

I know that in this particular scripture Jesus was referring to His death, burial and resurrection on the third day, but we can see the same application for the church age.

Considering the fact that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day; during the past two thousand years (two days) the church has done cures. These cures have nourished and sustained us , keeping a system alive and well as the Spirit of God moved through the confines of denominationalism.

In the year 1948 there was a great visitation of God in the earth. This visitation was world wide as the Spirit of God was poured out upon all flesh. The latter rain movement spread like wildfire as miracles and wonders were seen manifest by God's visitation to man. Out of the midst of this feast of Pentecost, a word came from the heavens; the message of Son ship! This message contained the good news of life, immortality and God's Kingdom within man.

Mankind heard the word: Pentecost is not a denomination, but an experience for all. People from every denomination began to hear this word and as a result received the experience of Pentecost. It's sad to say, most of the people who received this experience were cast our of their church because they had gone beyond denominational walls. As a result the Charismatic move was born.

The Charismatic move of God has grown in leaps and bounds as God's people have dared to venture outside of their established religious system. They have a Spirit of zeal toward God that has sparked a new wave of worship in the land. This move has run it's course however for we see that man in His lust for power has once again defiled the things of God.

We see man reveling in titles, organizing churches under their rule and domain, and once again separating the body of Christ into sectarian groups each saying as they did in Isaiah: " I am the Lord's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

The latter rain movement has caused every seed found in the earth to be resurrected into light. All things dwelling in darkness are being exposed by the light of God's word being revealed today. All seed is coming to its maturity because of the harvest rain that fell upon the earth. Every principality and power is demanding their right to exist. The ruling authority of the church is being challenged as the son of perdition is appearing in the nature of all that he is, yet there is a glory about to manifest itself in the midst of all the darkness and turmoil. The dispensation of the kingdom age is at hand.

During this passing of man's kingdom and his authority we see lawlessness in the land

Iraq is a good example of what is happening in the realm of Spirit. When a system of rule is deposed, a state of lawlessness arises in it's wake. There is no recognized authority and all opposing factions that were repressed under the power of governmental authority begin to arise and thrust each other for dominion.

A divine principal settled in the realm of Spirit is:

Psalms 42:7:

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

When a mighty outpouring of rain comes to the earth. The overflow of water fills all available crevices previously carved out by past rains. The overflowing water begins to overflow banks seeking to find it's own course of movement. As a result little water spouts are formed each making it's own sound as the water flows through it.

We are hearing the noise of the water spouts today as the Word of God is as the sound of many waters. Rev. 1:15 But in the midst of it all, above every sound , above all the noise and calamity in the earth, there is a sound becoming louder and louder , it's the voice of the son of God!

John 5:25:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.

This statement was made two thousand years ago by Jesus as he walked as the word of God in the earth. He was walking among the spiritually dead of that day. He was speaking to a religious people under the bondage of their interpretation of the law of Moses.

In the process of His death, burial and resurrection, He delivered a people bound in the realm of death into the realm of life and light. The story of Lazarus is a good example of what He accomplished. Lazarus was resurrected on the fourth day . He represented a people who had died in the image of Adam for four thousand years. Jesus was the last man Adam, and resurrected all in Adam out of the realm of death. However when Lazarus came out of the tomb he was alive, but still bound in grave clothes with a veil over his face!

Jesus did not take the grave clothes off of Lazarus. He told those who stood by to loose him. Creation has been delivered out of the bondage of death, but are still bound in the grave clothes of man's tradition, rule and dominion. The veil is still upon the face of creation, but that veil is being removed today and we will behold His face and be changed into that same image as darkness is dispelled by the light of His appearing in a people!

The voice of the son of God is being heard above the noise of the water spouts today. And all that hear His voice shall not be shaken or removed from their walk on a highway no vultures eye has seen.

What is the voice of the Son of God?

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The Greek word for word in the above scripture is logos, meaning the divine expression. It is a word that is not merely an utterance, but it is a word that can be heard not by the natural ear but by the expression of what it is or what it becomes. This word or divine expression is God. All things were made by the word of God as God became all things. God became Jesus walking in flesh, among men and the expression of what He was through Jesus Christ was the voice of the Son of God.

During the church age the ministry has declared Christ, but Christ will soon declare Himself! He will appear out of the midst of a people, sons of God who will be the voice or divine expression of their father.

This appearing will be in perfection. A people will be seized or caught up into His Spirit and become one with Christ.

I have been behind the veil. Christ Himself appeared out of the midst of me and totally seized me into a glory I have never experienced before. He came from the inside out and was in total control I was inside Him and found myself experiencing a oneness with Christ Himself. I felt His great love and compassion for mankind and I saw all things finished in Him. Understand what I am saying; all things are finished in Him! In the realm of spirit He has finished what He was sent to do. Now He has seated Himself in a position, high above all principality and power. This position will never be usurped by any other power for He has put all things under foot. He will come as a thief out from the midst of man, binding the strong man of the house and taking full control as He catches man up into the glory behind the veil of our flesh. We will never again return to the beggarly elements of earth's consciousness for we will be enveloped with the mind of Christ.

I did not stay there, but I was there. While I was there I was able to function in the realm of earth and accomplish the necessary things of life, but my mind was His mind, seated in the heavens. My whole being was bathed in pure love for His creation. There was no respect of persons in this place in Him.

When I was released again to earth's consciousness, I asked Him why I could not stay, His answer was; "I took you behind the veil, so that you could spy out the land I'm taking you to, and now you are to bring back the report to creation."

I knew why He was willing to give His life in the flesh and return as the seed of a quickening Spirit. It was to take up the greater glory of indwelling all mankind as the life principal of a new creation in the earth. A seed after His own planting. A people who would declare His generation The glory of this appearing will never pass away nor be defiled by man.. It is a place prepared in the midst of man himself. This place is the Christ in man and will soon emerge from the inside out and swallow up death in victory. A people will walk upon the earth with the mind of Christ in total control, putting down all rule and authority.

Paul was also caught up and declared:

Galatians 2:20:

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me

Christ liveth in me! This is what it's all about! God wanted to experience man! God did not want to dwell alone!

Col. 3:3,4:

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. ⁴When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

CONCLUSION

I understand that some of you may think I am coming against the Church. Please understand this is not my intention. I love and appreciate all those faithful souls who lived and gave their lives to keep doors open for creation to enter into. No one knows more than I what a struggle it is to pastor a church. I have been a Pastor for thirty seven years and believe me it has not been an easy task. Many times I wanted to quit and do something else, but the word was like a fire shut up in my bones and I knew it was my life. I still Pastor a church for it is so necessary for creation to have a place to worship and be taught the Word of God.

When each dispensation passed away it did not cease to be but was resurrected into a higher manifestation of God's plan and purpose for the day. Just as the law of sin and death became the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, the dispensation of Grace will be fulfilled by Christ becoming a pure manifestation of what Grace demanded within a body of Sons. The word grace means: unmerited favor, but it also carries the meaning: A divine influence upon the life that is manifest in the flesh. The unmerited favor of God has been poured out upon all creation, so that the rightful seed of His inheritance in the saints might be matured and appear in the earth declaring His generation.

There is a new dispensation called Kingdom that will be an age where the mind of Christ will be in control, in a people and all private interpretation of scripture will cease as Christ Himself emerges from behind the veil of man's flesh and once again becomes the divine expression of the Father.

Then and only then shall man see eye to eye .
