How Big Is Your Chair:Prophetic Insight Nov.09

Charisma Magazine

My comments to the Revelation are as follows: Though angelic activity is part of the Christian experience, there is a exhortation which the apostle Paul says: 

COLOSSIANS 2:18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, INTRUDING into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

.
There are some that deny angels and there are those that accept the biblical fact of their presence and history. My point is not the proof of them but discerning testimonies about them.
When the Lord gives direction to the church it will be first given through His sanctified steward and then so preached to the Body seen in Revelation 1:1. 

Other confirming revelations will be forth coming in confirmation of that record as we see in the functioning of God’s government in Acts 15:32. 

It is because of His grace that our faith remains tethered to the Godhead by this Spiritual communion.  

EPHESIANS 3:10To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places MIGHT BE KNOWN BY THE CHURCH the manifold wisdom of God, 

And again Peter says: 

1PETER 1:12Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things THE ANGELS DESIRE TO LOOK INTO. 

The grace of God will not work with false knowledge, or the imagination of man, it works in the covenant for your salvation to be worked out through the activity of the Christian priesthood after Melchisedec. 

Having said this we can examine the exhortation: “HOW BIG IS YOUR CHAIR”. 

The writer says:
Several weeks ago I (Mahesh) was sitting in my library when I suddenly heard a noise behind me. I turned and saw an angel right there. He was young-looking, majestic, awesome, and full of strength, joy, and vigor. He was smiling, but there was the fragrance and atmosphere of battle all around him. He was a warring angel, and he had just come from battle.

I had the impression that I was not his assignment. He was literally coming from one battle and heading off to another one. But in between he landed momentarily, looked at me, smiled and asked, “How big is your chair?” Then, just as suddenly as he appeared, he departed. END

2TIMOTHY 3:16
 ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

1. Will this revelation give direction to the Church?
2. Does it bring correction?
3. It is a new doctrine?
4. Is there reproof?
5. What is expected of the Body, and how is this applied to your faith?
6.  Is this a token for my covenant priesthood?

This minister’s experience is a perfect example of lack of Apostolic Governance. There is no counsel of the Spirit, but you can see how he is drawing upon his imagination those things which his flesh desires.  Man is ever looking for the secret to conquer his fears. The reflection is reminiscent of history and presents challenges to the Church, but is absent of the needed grace to build the house of God.

Here is where the anointing is needed for the craftsmanship of the faith to be made perfect in the heart and the activity of the priesthood.

But this angelic testimony does not draw from the anointing and is a good example of an undiscerning sound.

1CORINTHIANS 14:7
 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a DISTINCTION in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

Paul points out that there must be “distinction in the sounds” for faith in the priesthood to be perfect. The true steward speaks the word and the Body walks in rhythm by charity being of one mind and by one mouth glorifying God.

In this angelic testimony we see a perfect example of the destruction caused by open stewardship, where every man or woman carries his own stone and builds a ministry/shrine in their own name.

Many step forward with a revelation and claim apostolic stewardship. But under that kind of ministry the saints are left naked, wandering around wondering, “Ok, what do I do with this.”

The experience of this man is a good example of how the church drifted during the 6^th week when pastors ruled the body in place of apostles. No Stewardship, no direction, no building of the House of God, but a uncertain sound perhaps to again entertain those lost to His grace. Galatians 5:4. The true knowledge of God is closed to them for they are ever seeking the flattery of the imagination.

EZEKIEL 33:32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a PLEASANT voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

Be not unwise, but understanding what is the will of the Lord. To give credibility to him.

In His Grace
