Cities of Refuge | Part 8

From Golan in the land of East Manasseh to Ramoth in the land of Gad, we now embrace the union with the Lamb through the oneness of Christ Jesus’ resurrected life. In Golan, within our fertile, ivory heart, we have faced the giants of Bashan or mixture, revealing the Living Hebrew Letter Shin. Three flames burn within our hearts, embodying the wisdom that declares, “Yahweh, Yeshua, and Rauch Kedesh – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – are three in one, and they reside within you now.”

Jesus speaks softly to our spirit, reminding us that today we embody everlasting love, life, and light as we walk in renewed, resurrection unity in Christ toward Ramoth's heights along the king's highway. Ramoth is recognized as the refuge city of ‘heaping stones,' or mountains of boulders. Our challenge here is to be liberated from the mental stumbling blocks of our past.

“And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt” (Isaiah 11:16 KJV). This is a spiritual highway, led by the Holy Spirit within us, training us to be a royal priesthood, a Holy nation unto God, while in our natural bodies. Remember, Assyria was a nation filled with pride and arrogance, not necessarily obvious, but using the “I” as self–ego instead of Christ in them. “I will crush your arrogance. You will have no rain, and your land will be as hard as cement,” (Leviticus 26:19 NOG). “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall,” (Proverbs 16:18 KJV).

“That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations,” (Isaiah 14:25-26 KJV). This sounds like destruction and bloodshed, but God’s ways are not man's way. God laughs during our battles, reminding us that nothing is too hard for Him. However, the beginning of wisdom is knowing in our hearts that God goes with us wherever we are and whatever circumstances we face. Nothing can separate us from His presence, even if we think we can (Romans 8:38-39). 

“I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them. And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart away. And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord,” (Zechariah 10:10-12 KJV). Notice the “I” in this promise? It is the Lord God -YHVH – Father, Son, Holy Spirit as one in us as our husband and lover of our soul. 

Our conflict isn't with other people, cultures, traditions, politics, or religion. It's rooted in our identity—who we believed we were versus who God now declares us to be, as married to Jesus Christ. While much of the church teaches that entering God's family requires repentance, few offer guidance on how to be a wife of Christ Jesus on earth, while in our human bodies. We are His resurrected body today, guided by the Holy Spirit to reveal God's Kingdom to the universe. This is what all creation has been waiting for until now (Romans 8:22). 

The King's Highway on the east side of the Jordan was a major trade route. Isaiah gives us a vision to consider as a pathway to follow in holiness. “A main road will go through that once-deserted land; it will be named 'The Holy Highway.’ No evil-hearted men may walk upon it. God will walk there with you; even the most stupid cannot miss the way. No lion will lurk along its course, nor will there be any other dangers; only the redeemed will travel there. These, the ransomed of the Lord, will go home along that road to Zion, singing the songs of everlasting joy. For them all sorrow and all sighing will be gone forever; only joy and gladness will be there” (Isaiah 35:8-10 TLB).

Marriage to the Lamb of God means to be royalty with a gentle and meek spirit filled with compassion and mercy, judging no man. God judges no man but gave all judgment to the Son. Jesus only did what the Father did (John 5). This is the working out of marriage when Paul tells us to speak the truth in Love. “Instead, we will lovingly follow the truth at all times—speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly—and so become more and more in every way like Christ, who is the Head of his body, the Church. Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly, and each part in its own special way helps the other parts, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love,” (Ephesians 4:15-16 TLB).

Consider how blood flows through our natural body. If only the bones in your arm received blood but were blocked from reaching the joints connected to the hand and fingers, the arm's ability to assist the rest of the body would be severely limited. Each of the “stumbling stones of our past” can be transformed into a gemstone filled with the treasures of Light energy and frequencies, capable of healing ourselves, others, and the land we cross. However, this transformation does not result from human wisdom but from the Holy Spirit guiding us as one new Being in Christ, following the order of Melchizedek. Gemstones form in the earth through heat, pressure, and mineral fluids. Our body is our earth suit. We have the DNA of Christ within us from before the cosmos was founded (Ephesians 1:4). Heat and pressure increase the frequency with which molecules reorganize into crystal forms. When we engage in quantum entanglement with the living Hebrew letters – ALEF-TAV, we experience Eternal Life now with Jesus Christ, the Christ in us – Love Himself. 

We suddenly transform from being corruptible to incorruptible and from mortality to immortality (1 Corinthians 15:53). When God's hand is upon you, worldly concerns fade away. This refers to the bride who has prepared herself to receive all that her beloved wishes to share at that moment, with peace and confidence, knowing He understands exactly what your heart desires. He inscribed His blueprint on your heart when He formed you before your conception in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:15-18, Hebrews 8:8-10).

In John chapter four, Jesus's encounter with a woman at a well reveals multiple layers of meaning. Their dialogue explores themes of love—highlighted by her history of five husbands and current cohabitation—as well as debates over the proper mountain for worship. Cultural and gender differences also create barriers to their interaction. When Jesus discusses the water drawn from the well, he uses it as a metaphor for the ‘living water.' Modern science identifies a fourth phase of water, called 'living water,' which forms when an additional hydrogen atom and an additional oxygen atom bond with H2O, creating an H3O2 gel crystal. This phase exists between the liquid and vapor states. Our bodies are naturally designed to convert water into this life-enhancing H3O2 form because we carry Christ's DNA. Yet, like the woman at the well, if we are unaware of Christ's presence within us and our identity in Him, we cannot operate at our highest potential of excellence (2 Thessalonians 1:12).

The Passover and the resurrection of Christ Jesus, our High Priest, today and forever, bring us to new heights of awareness of who we are in Him and how we live and move as His body upon the earth. “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life, breath, and everything else. From one man, he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him, perhaps reach out to him, and find him, though he is not far from any of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring,’ and since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill,” (Acts 17:24-29 NIV).

In Mark 4, Jesus tells His disciples what the Kingdom of God is like. He begins by speaking in parables, which is challenging for them, and they ask why He doesn’t just speak plainly. He warns them that they need to hunger for the relationship with the Kingdom of God. Those who are just hanging out, but not pursuing, will not understand the parables and lose interest. But those who long for a closer relationship of intimacy and an experience of knowing Him and the power of His resurrection (Philippians 3:10) will be as royalty, willing to seek out wisdom and understanding. “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matterPart” (Proverbs 25:2 AMP).
