The Day of New Beginnings

God's Word is Accumulative

 

 Hebrews 11 speaks of how the prophets and patriarchs of old gained approval through their faith. Yet the end of the chapter says, "And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised,
because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect."
 
All those men and women of faith did not receive what was promised. Is that to be interpreted as a let down? Not at all! Why? Because all the words God speaks are accumulative. They will be shared in and experienced by all the sons who have ever believed God. The words and promises accumulate. What seems like a drought of fulfillment ultimately becomes a downpour because the blessings and promises build up as God completes His will. With great joy Zion will share in all the words God has ever spoken. The words you have received, the words I have received, the words that every man or woman of God has ever received, will be partaken of by those who have stood and believed God. We all will share in it together. We must get past seeking only individual fulfillment and see the bigger picture of the Kingdom realm where we each partake of the words spoken to another because we all stand in one spirit together. 
 
When you see the great picture of Zion coming forth exceedingly blessed, it's because all the words and prophecies ever spoken are lavished on her. In this realm of the kingdom, death does not keep us from fulfillment. It means we still partake together because we are one body before the Lord, the visible and invisible. Notice how Heb.12 begins after talking about those who died in the faith in the previous chapter. "Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us..."  We are all alive in Him (Mat. 22:31-32). Heb. 12:22-23 elaborates further on this great cloud of witnesses:
 
22  But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,
23  to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect…
 
We are all to live in the eternal now. In this realm comes the completion of all the prophecies and promises ever spoken. As we enter in, whatever words or promises we have had on an individual level, fulfilled or otherwise, will give way to the glory of a greater fulfillment. 
 
Isa. 55:
10  "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11  So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
12  "For you will go out with joy And be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
 
The above passages pertain to Zion. This is nailed down in verse seven of the next chapter: “Even those I will bring to My holy mountain And make them joyful in My house of prayer.” Zion is God’s holy mountain and it’s in that realm that all God’s word bears fruit.
