THE TRINITY ON EARTH
The KEY To Kingdom Inheritance NOW
” … Jesus … Whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His Blood THROUGH FAITH … “
“And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.”
“… coming to Jesus … one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water. “
“The Spirit and the water and the blood – and the three, unto one they are.”
(Rom. 3:24b-25a; Lk. 23:46; Jn. 19:33-34; I Jn. 5:8)
“Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, (Amen, amen), I say to you, unless one is born of Water and of Spirit, he CANNOT ENTER the Kingdom of God.” ” John 3:5 (NASB)
When Norman Schwarzkopf, top general at the middle east command post during the first Gulf war, was commanding his leaders, it came out that he strictly forbade his leaders from listening to the news. He did not want his preset plans for victory to be whittled down in their thinking even the slightest through the noise of suppositions, opinions and bloating of the plans or greatness of the enemy, anything that might taint strategy towards complete victory.
In less than 100 days the United States, through General Schwarzkopf’s leadership, had defeated the supposed 4th most powerful army in the world. The world was stunned at the speed of this victory.
But this strategy, of not giving heart or voice attention to the intimidating bigness of the world, originated with God … through a man who would get a speedier victory, a man whom YHVH had already marked to bear prophetically His Own Son’s life service, down to the name He would give to Him.
” But Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, nor let a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you, ‘Shout!’ Then you shall shout!” ” Joshua 6:10 (NASB)
Joshua had led a brand-new generation into inheritance … an inheritance promised to their parents by the LORD their God. This brand-new generation, who’d all been born in the wilderness during the forty years wandering of their parents, watched all of their parents and grandparents die in the wilderness, every single one of their family members who’d seen the AWESOMENESS of God’s mighty hand deliver them from out of centuries of slavery in Egypt and part the Red Sea so they could go forward into freedom on dry land … and then watch their pursuing captors perish in those same waters.
Not one single son or daughter, save those of Joshua and Caleb, would get to share the joy of everything of God’s promised rest with their parents or grand parents …
… because that delivered from Egypt generation REFUSED the One speaking, the One Who’d promised them only Good …
Please let this sink into your hearts, Beloved.
… Selah …
I’m asking you to give heed to this Kairos. There has been a stern stirring in my heart for weeks from Holy Spirit, pertaining to really giving ear to the Holy Spirit in us – Father’s & Jesus’s One Spirit – whom Father has given to dwell in us (Rom. 5:5; 8:9), in conjunction with the issue of not Refusing the Voice of the Blood of Jesus on Heaven’s Mercy Seat, God’s Throne (Heb. 12:25). It is imperative that we take a heart grip faith-hold to what Holy Spirit testifies of the blood on that Throne pertaining to each of us, whether or not we deem ourself worthy of the magnitude of this Divinely grace-gifted Royalty (Jhn. 1:12; Rom. 8:14-17a; Heb. 10:15; I Jhn. 3:1).
“He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him (in Jesus) with a view to an administration (a stewardship) of the fullness of the times (Lit. a stewardship of the fullness of Divine Kairos-Strategic seasons), that is, the summing-up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth, in Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will. Ephesians 1:9-11 (NASB)
There is a stewardship administration Father God is giving as an entrustment towards a fullness – a summing up, or fitting together – of planned, layered Kairos strategies – God’s – towards fulfilling the very complete purpose of the cross, of Jesus’s willing sacrifice of His life. Father has been, with joyful pleasure, unveiling to us the mysteries of His will, the predestined plans of His heart. All of this has to do with before-creation destiny, a grace-gifting unto us of an inheritance which came to be purchased for us with Jesus His Son’s blood, something, I think, that is greater than all that the first Adam so recklessly forfeited.
That “In-Him” joint Throne-seating, where is His blood, where thus is the authority of His blood and His blood’s consequential Kingly decrees, (that is, the voice of ALL that Jesus fulfilled in His Words and works of power while on earth, and the accomplishment of His cross,) is that total positioning which we actually really have, NOW. It is a present place of His Rule now, in this age in which we live, over the earth in this present life … a Lordship of His authoritative LOVE working as a force by Faith (Gal. 5:6) through Himself, that is, through His body … us … you and I … we who have believed into Him – being jointly intimately connected, submitted to Him as Head over ALL! (Eph. 1: 22-23).
This Royal grace-gift is so that this One heart, “us in Him and He in us”, both really take root NOW, IN THIS PRESENT LIFE AND AGE here on earth, inside our heart and accordingly out in our speech, and thus so to stretch forth the scepter of King Jesus’s victory for us THROUGH US, by reason of His cross. (Jhn. 6:56; 14:23; Rom. 8:9, 11; Gal. 4:6/ Ps. 110:1; Mat. 26:64; Is. 9:7; Heb. 10:12-13, et al).
Why?
Towards seeing MANIFESTED through us, PRIMARILY, and also to us, that inheritance predestined by God for us from before earth’s foundation and bought with the precious life blood of Jesus, our LORD/Lord and Saviour. (Eph. 1:4-8; 3:9-11).
It is a predestined Salvation inheritance, Beloved, that is exceedingly far more than a ticket out of hell and a for someday after we give up our breath entrance into heaven. It is also an exceedingly greater than we actually believe planned destiny for multitudes and whole nations that too many in the church today think are going to end up in hell because of wrongly believed “about to happen end-time” theology. I know this steps on a lot of toes, but this wrong theology is robbing the world of monster believing prayers for them and an all out open liberty of sharing the gospel in hope of believing God would actually get the result of Jesus’s last command of the gospel of Matthew (Mat. 28:18-20; ref. also Rom. 1:5; 16:26: Rev. 5:9-10; 7:6), that nations would literally, not just be saved, but become wholly Holy-transformed disciples, student-pursuers of this Awesome Jesus in a way that sees “every enemy be set under Jesus’s feet”, (that Jesus is NOT getting up off of Heaven’s Throne until Father God has set EVERY SINGLE ENEMY under His feet. Period!) (Ps. 110:1 … and ALL the N.T. quotes of this verse)
There’s a sense in my heart from the LORD that He intends that we proceed forward in a faith that is way more than in what we’ve let ourselves comfortably live as believers. I heard Bill Johnson say recently, from the account of Jesus coming to the fig tree to take figs when it wasn’t the season of figs (Mk. 11:13), that He has the right to demand from us the supernatural, we in whom He has put Himself, His nature, His Spirit.
I believe we’ve come to a critical Kairos moment, Beloved, in the LORD, in the Spirit, in this present season. It is too easy to stay stagnant, in a complacent place, in our faith, where we only kick it in gear when a crisis occurs, then slip back down to where we had it previously (ref. Heb. 5:12-14:6:9-12)). Jesus expects the fruit of faith to be in fruit, now, and augmenting, a “from faith” righteousness that literally propels us INTO faith, a next level of believing because of the revelation of righteousness grace-gifted – imputed & imparted – with that previous step of faith, (the literal denotation from the Greek text of Romans 1:17). This denotes that we walk forward ongoingly in an active believing that is an increasing growing up in, AND a growing into more, Christ Jesus’s faith through us … in which such abiding we are to be living, dare I say, EXPONENTIALLY, the rest of our living here on earth; (this is the literal meaning from Galatians. 2:20).
Please do not comprehend such words of exhortation as “effort” or a “striving” to get to such increasing believing. The only “work” in which we need to be active is the speed to enter the “rest” of faith (Heb. 4:9-11). Where we need better understanding, rather, is in how to increase faith (Lk. 17:5-6; Rom. 10:6-8). All of this is entirely linked to hearing Holy Spirit, letting Him literally teach us the finished work of the cross from out of the Body of the Scriptures. (“FAITH comes by HEARING, and ‘HEARING’ comes by the-living-Flowing-Word, Christ’s”. – Rom. 10:17; ref. also Jhn. 16:13-15).
It is in our private time predominantly, where we take time to know Him more for no other reason than to want to know and learn Him more than we do (Ex. 33:11 & 13a; Heb. 4:16a, 10:19-22; Ex. 25:21-22a; Num.7:89). It is a place where Holy Spirit unveils Jesus more and more to us, causing our heart’s attention to be captivated by this Amazing King, betrothing us to fall in love with Jesus and increasingly, as the greatness of His love is ongoingly unveiled to us.
As His word is opened up to us by His Spirit, it becomes, oftentimes unwittingly, a washing of the water of the Word, cleansing our minds continually from the dust of this age, the noise that hits our ears through out our day to cake over our hearts’ soft place towards the truth of God’s Awesome destiny of only crazy amazing good towards us (Eph. 5:25-27; Jhn. 13:1-7).
That private time is where our hearing Him is learned, our faith established & built upon the truth of the preciousness of His sacrificed blood for the whole world, all of this causing our hearts to be burning within us with the light of His Resurrection Life for us and thus through us to a world crying for such amazing love (Lk. 24:32).
There are being written here words that are intentionally meant to prune, in order that we, each of us, come to that place in growth where the fruit He rightly expects, in whichever season He chooses, be it in season or out of season, that anyone in this life can come and pick, and taste and see how crazy Awesome Good He really is … especially in the area of His kingdom power, (Jhn. 15:1-3; I Cor. 2:4-5; 4:20); for this is exactly how the Jesus in us walked as an emptied, dependant-on-God-the-Holy-Spirit-of-His-Father-in-Him Man when He walked in the flesh on this earth.
The generation who saw more of the extravagant power of God more than any other generation, ever, DID NOT let Divine wisdom and the gift of faith take root in their hearts. I can only imagine what kind of faith this generation’s children would have been left had these parents all taken hold of the Spirit of YHVH, their Almighty God, as had Caleb, (ref Number. 14:24). A small but powerful example of this is seen from Caleb’s own life; (see Josh. 14:6-15 & Judg. 1:12-13). I honestly believe the earth today would be completely different had this Caleb legacy been the fruit of the whole delivered out of Egypt generation. The legacy of God’s goodness, of God’s glory, for proceeding generations is far more than what we realize (Heb. 11:39-12:2; 1 Pet. 1:10-12).
I am so aware, Beloved, that the accusation of “your head in the sand” is thrown out for this that I’ve been declaring for years, and am again bringing out in this Kairos. But Holy Spirit has been adamant with me concerning this point; moreover, having seen the stagnation of hope among believers who “keep their heads out of the sand”, in order to know what the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is producing [so that they can give a “Christian” response, (actually, it produces a reaction based upon fear of what all the world is working and planning against them … they should take to heart God’s words of Psalms 2, esp. vrs. 1-4)], yet not carry, from out of their heart, a true faith hope towards the future or a glowing light of the good news to a world that wonders if there is any good news or hope for their children in the years to come (Num. 13:31-14:23), I cannot kowtow to this verbal persecution, (which is, in truth, the wisdom of this world), of “head in the sand.”
What the parents who saw God’s awesome power let be planted into their ears and heart so as to cause them to refuse the voice of the declarations of the ultimate accomplishment of lamb’s blood split and sprinkled so as to grace-gift them FREEDOM and a promise from heaven of an inheritance exceedingly beyond all that they could have imagined, is completely reprehensible. While it is so that, during those forty years, God dwelt with them, never having left them or forsaken them (Ex. 33:14-17;Deut. 7:6-8; et al), He was, nevertheless, still angry with that generation … for they had refused to believe His living word to them, that is, to literally, “Amen” Him (ref. II Cor. 1:20). It had all been rooted in letting their hearts’ ears be gripped with the present News report, demonically intentioned to make their heart agree with the very first words of satan documented in scripture: “Indeed, has God said…?”, (Gen. 3:1; Num. 14:11; Ps. 95:10ff; Heb. 3) having planted just enough doubt in His Promised goodness towards them.
… all for the purpose of getting them to forfeit …
… entrance into inheritance!
Are you listening, Beloved?
…
Please hear this: I know this has been stated previously, so it can be easy to brush this off. Therefore I will exhort you first with this from the scriptures: “For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away” (Heb. 2:1). My heart from the LORD in this is to lovingly encourage each of you up and forward in a living faith that is already seeded into you (Eph. 1:15-21; 3:14-21; Col. 1:9-12; Heb. 6:9-12), that you don’t stay complacent in a yesterday faith, rather that you grow ongoingly in a faith believing towards greater manifestation of a supernatural Kingdom rule through you that was purchased by blood more precious than the blood shed to deliver that generation out of Egypt and into promised inheritance.
It was THE NEWS, Beloved, which WAS real, that became the noise that drowned out the truth (Num.13:28-14:2; Deut. 1:26-32) of what was actually a the greater reality – God’s mighty hand thru the blood of the lamb – that robbed the following generation of children a joy in shared manifested divine promises of exceeding goodness.
The giants, which really were in the land promised and thus consequently in their future for confrontation, 10 of their leaders had seen and by which had let their minds & emotions be captivated, having forgotten to bring back to their faith the GIANT their God really was, robbed, by the unbelieving testimony to that News, true believing from out of God’s people, out of an entire generation, what the blood of that little lamb on their door posts had conquered to deliver them from the iron grip of Pharaoh. They introduced, by a rational speculation towards fear and dread for their own lives and that of their families, a wrong concept of their children’s future, believing their salvation had only been for their deliverance out of slavery, but not for an entrance FOR THIS LIFE into abundant GOOD, which God had promised them.
The blood had delivered them. The water had rescued them from ever again being brought back into slavery … … but they did NOT give their heart’s ears to listen to Spirit of God.
The Divine Trinity on earth, the Spirit & the Water & the Blood, where such a strong cord CANNOT be broken, was not woven into that unbreakable cord in each individual heart of every former slave who’d been so miraculously delivered out of a life of increasing oppressive bondage by the mighty hand of a God Who had made Himself known to them. All of this so painfully made obvious – because of giving heed to the News – noise – through leaders who were to have, like Joshua and Caleb, taken a firm grip of their Almighty God’s faithfulness to His Word and so to have spoken hope and faith into His people, their brethren, who had put ALL their life’s trust into these men – became the sad legacy passed on to the New generation now being led into that promise. (Heb. 3:7-19; 4:2).
Only two men of years of age, the only two men who let the Spirit of the LORD in them agree on earth through them to what the LORD had done for them, by reason of the finished work of the blood of the lamb, and through the work and witness of cutoff-to-death former slavery captors by water, AND through the consequential laser heart’s focus of their ears and eyes to the Holy Spirit of YHVH!
” But My servant Caleb, because there was another spirit with him, and he was (intentionally) FULL to follow Me, I cause him to come into the land where into he entered, and his seed, and cause him to possess/to inherit! ” Numbers 14:24
This is the key, Beloved, to the strength of the cord, the Trinity on earth, in His Church, pertaining, I believe, to possessing promised inheritance! It is about believing and thus increasing hearing God’s very breath, His Spirit, the revelation of God our Father’s heart concerning His very Word. This pertains to what His Word actually looks like … in the flesh, and now seated as A Man FULL – of Grace and of Truth – AND THUS REVEALED, MADE MANIFEST, THROUGH US, King Jesus’s literal Body, His Person, on earth to the eyes of the world, (II Cor. 3:2-3, 16-4:7), through which such revelation is to be the transformative power by which is His rule on earth manifested. Because it must take this, by God’s predestined purpose, to unveil how Kingdom inheritance is realized.
As we increase beholding Jesus through hearing Holy Spirit unveil Him from the Scriptures, to testify of the work of His blood in our lives, letting the refreshing washing of the water of the Word renew hope and faith and love, we will become MORE like Him (I Jhn. 3:2). As the more we glow His glory, letting our earthen vessels be being filled with this treasure, His glory from the cross, from His Resurrection and ascension and Throne seating as One with His Father, then the more the world around us sees Jesus, sees Who really is the Only God Who loves them, sees, moreover, what is Kingdom destiny, Kingdom inheritance – God’s very purpose and will for them if they will believe into His Word-Made-Flesh Son, Christ Jesus the Saviour of the world. They will come to realize that that God up Stairs, His heart for them in sacrificing His only begotten Son, is not hell, is not the lake of fire, is not a mean ogre ready and waiting to swing His judgement stick at them … other than to show them the judgment stick was the cross of their judgment borne by His Son.
You have to set your heart’s attention, Beloved, if you’re really wanting to grow in increasing “Hearing” of Holy Spirit, whether or not you’re willing to cut off the noise of this world, of this age, that fills your ears to intentionally drown out Jesus’s voice with the cares and worries and the lusts for the stuff of this life (Lk 8:14).
Having said all this, this is not at all about cutting yourself off from touching or being in the lives of those who are not believers, not at all (I Cor. 5:9-10). (I actually know a number of believers who know all that is going on in the news, and hardly ever share the gospel with the lost, or care to honestly associate or befriend the lost, especially among those nations of the middle east who are moving to this country with all their cultural stuff. It is actually the news of the world that puts them in fear of these precious people God is sending to western nations in order for these precious souls to come to faith in the Jesus in you Who SO loves them. Hence, all this “needing to know what’s going on in the world” and “having your head in the sand” just dosen’t hold water, rather is robbing true faith/love sharing the Good News of our Saviour of the World).
This also has nothing at all to do with comparing yourself with another by such devotion. It all boils down to wanting to hear from Father more and more accurately, for just wanting to get to know Him more.
This is between you and Him alone. But your decision, whatever it is, WILL affect a generation around you. It Will affect, too, how much of the Divine promises you inherit, you possess, for this life, … to share in the years to come with another generation who would love, then, to have the joy of shared inheritance.
Let the three-fold cord of the Trinity on earth – The Blood of the Lamb, the Work of the Water, and the Holy Spirit inside you – this Grace gift unto us by our Awesome God and Father because of precious shed blood of our Jesus, be woven into your hearts, Beloved (I Pet. 1:13-25).
Take the time to meditate on what has been written here. There is a gracing by God, without work or loss of energy, to step into the present Kairos stewardship entrustment. If God is giving to us this stewardship, Beloved, it means that He trusts us with such heavenly treasure, with the Gracing to administrate this (Eph. 2:9-11). There is also a Gracing for increasing Praying in Tongues, a speaking/decreeing into this life, this stewardship of the mysteries of God into this present realm and age, and an increase of Kingdom power, through you (I Cor. 14:2, 4a: Mk. 16:17-18, 20). God’s destiny for you, Precious Saint, is to captivate the world’s attention by the Good news through you, not for you to be captivated and bound by cords of fear and death through the news this world has been playing over and over again since Adam ate from the wrong tree.
You are so greatly, greatly loved, Beloved.
Mark D.

** – Beloved, you are free to print this and any Kairos for your own study. Take the time to go through these scriptures, and let the Holy Spirit write them and bear witness to them in your hearts and minds. Let the Word of God and the Blood of Jesus and the witness of the Holy Spirit who lives inside of you wash through you and renew your mind.

For those of you who have believed into Jesus; take communion often (I Cor. 11:23-26; Lk. 24:30-31a). Let communion be a refreshing of the Blood and the Spirit (Heb. 9:14) to cleanse your conscious from sin consciousness to righteousness consciousness, that you are indeed clean, as a gift of His grace. You are no more, Dearly Beloved, under condemnation; rather, you are under justification – eternally! (Rom. 4:25b, 5:21;b; Heb. 9:11-12). You will find the Holy Spirit of Jesus unveiling Jesus to you from the scriptures like you’ve never seen Him before.
If you have never believed into Jesus Christ, you can do so now, from your own heart and words. If you wish help to pray, pray, “LORD Jesus, I believe You died for me and as me because You love me. I receive Your Forgiveness for my sin. Thank You for shedding Your blood to cleanse me, for making me clean, for breaking the power of sin in my life, for transforming me as a gift of Your Grace to me. I ask You to live inside of me. I thank You, Jesus, for giving me eternal life, that I might know You and Your Father, as my God, forever. In Your Name, LORD Jesus. Amen!”
kairos – (Kahee-ros’) – Strong’s concordance defines this word: “an occasion, I.e. set or proper time.” The Hebrew-Greek Key Study Bible (NASB) defines this word; “season, time, but not merely as a succession of moments, which is chronos,” [from which we derive the English word ‘chronology’]. “Kairos, however, implies not the convenience of the season, but the necessity of the task at hand, whether the time provides a good, convenient opportunity or not.” This must be understood. Strategic times of the Lord do not necessarily imply good or convenient times. We are in Kairos times. Maybe not good or convenient times, but definitely strategic, opportune times because of the season we are in. We must have “ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches,” (Rev. 2:29), so as to respond correctly to the Kairos time.
