~ The Mystery Of The Faith

AS READ BY KENNETH B VISSCHER
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so
that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Hebrews 11:1-3
But without faith it is impossible to please and be
satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He
is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]. Hebrews 11:6

will then say to me, Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His will?
No, but, O man, who are you who replies against God? Shall the thing formed say
to Him who formed it, Why have you made me this way? Does not the potter have
power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel to honor and another
to dishonor? What if God, willing to show His wrath and to make His power
known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction;
and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy
which He had before prepared to glory; whom He also called, not only us, of
Jews, but also of the nations? As He also says in Hosea, "I will call
those not My people, My people; and those not beloved, Beloved." And it
shall be, in the place where it was said to them. "You are not My people;
there they shall be called sons of the living God." Isaiah also cries
concerning Israel, "Though the number of the sons of

works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you
in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of
God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no
law. And they that are
For when God made promise to Abraham, because
he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I
will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had
patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men verily swear by the
greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein
God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability
of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which
it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have
fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as
an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that
within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an
high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek. Hebrews 6:13-20
(2 Visions)
“Then beholding the Holiest place of all,
even the position of the Throne and the Lord upon the Throne, even in the
Holiest part of His Sanctuary, from there did I behold the HOLINESS of the Lord
God Almighty, even the Ancient of Days. He did sit in the midst of the Throne
consumed with billows and waves of fire which enfolded in upon itself, fire so
mighty that there was nothing before it that was not utterly consumed, nothing
before this Holy Fire that was not completely and utterly taken in by the fire,
purged, purified and made HOLY as HE WHO SITS UPON THE THRONE IS HOLY. This
fire was even the Ancient of Days, Holy, completely all that the spirit of the
Lord is and is nothing short of His complete person as LORD. Before Him lay the
Tabernacle, the pattern and the vessels and instruments. These same vessels and
instruments were gathered up before the Lord and brought into the billowing
flames and purged, purified, cleansed, and stripped of their dross and their
clay. Then to the right of the Throne were the vessels and instruments laid in
order although they looked as though they were gathered in a heap. As I looked
at the vessels and instruments I saw that they were covered with the heat of
the fire, they were all of them miscoloured, faded and tarnished even though
they were clean. No clay was left upon them, but they were nevertheless tainted
in coloration from the heat of the fire which had done the cleansing. This was
the cleansing of the vessels and instruments of the Tabernacle. As they lay
beside the Throne they began to cool and to remain with the view of being
“unpolished” upon them. Before the Lord now was the rest of the Tabernacle and
His fire then folded in upon itself and reached forth out unto the Tabernacle
to cleanse it and to purge it and to strip it from its own filth and clay from
contamination with the world. As the fire billowed out from the Ancient of Days
the earth under the Tabernacle quaked greatly and the clay of the earth was
burnt and disintegrated and became separate from the foundation of the
Tabernacle which was upon it. So the earth then gave way and collapsed into
utter ruin under the weight of the Tabernacle which was now suspended above the
earth, but consumed in the fires of He who sat upon the Throne, even the
Ancient of Days.”
“Beholding the vessels and instruments that
where in a heap beside the Throne I saw that as the fire of His cleansing went
forth into the Tabernacle, that the vessels and instruments, each one
individually, had a swirling whirlwind of fire from within the center of it,
even though the vessels and instruments remained cool to the touch, yet the
same fire that was the spirit of the Lord rose up in each vessel and with the
velocity of a whirlwind it did cleanse and purge away the DROSS that was left
from the initial burning when the vessels were gathered unto the Lord. I saw by
this that the dross of the first residual heat was now removed from these
vessels and instruments and the purity of gold and silver and precious stones
and their shapes did emerge with brilliance and beauty and with no filth of any
kind upon them, but these vessels and instruments were now HOLY UNTO THE LORD. These
are the vessels of the sanctuary of the Lord, even those after the order of
Melchisedek, the

All around us in the Christian world we hear
sounds that do not hold true, sounds that are supposedly those of the witness
of the spirit unto the Christian world about the ‘soon escape’ of those who
trust in Christ out from this present evil world. But this sound does not find
place on the ears of the Overcomer. The reason is that the Overcomer, even in
this late hour, is still following the pattern son
The biggest temptation we have now is the one
We have entered our jubilee, our time of
being restored, but it is not what we think it should be, it is a gradual
process, a period of time culminating in the first resurrection for those who
are grains of barley. It is not going to be shared with everyone at this time
but only for those who have been chosen from the foundation of the world for
this appointed time by He who alone is the Almighty Sovereign. There is nothing
you or I did to deserve place in the first resurrection, we were only
responders to the motion of His spirit to walk higher in understanding and in a
greater manifestation of suffering and then glory. Anyone who hears the call to
be an “Overcomer” must also hear the call to suffering the full infamy and
shame of the cross. In our day the entire gamut of our walk is overtaken with a
very strong motion of the Lord’s spirit. In the Christian world they are anticipating
the Lord to move strongly to “catch them up”, but for the Overcomer something
entirely different is happening. For them the motion of the Lord’s spirit is
severe, strong as the sharp edges of His sword, He is cutting them off again
and again from everything and from everybody around them. The true Overcomer is
being singled out, shaken apart, and taken away from all other leaning posts or
doctrines of rest and relaxation. Instead they are being presented with hard
judgments against their persons, a powerful cutting of the edge of the Lord’s
sword, divisions away from those you never thought you’d ever be divided from
and joining together with those you never knew existed. Instead of the prosperous doctrine of being
caught up to bliss the Overcomer is caught up into greater tribulation than
ever before. This is the current state of the true Overcomer. They do not know
which way is up from down nor do they understand which way is in from out. They
are in a quandary, a state of feeling or being “empty”, the edge of the sword
is what they feel unlike those caught up in escape doctrines and doctrines
which pamper the soul.
Speaking prophetically, there is nothing
right now in our lives that truly resembles the Lord except for two things, our
patient waiting for Him and suffering in silence not always aware of the
presence of the love of God in our lives. It is too bad that I must sound so
negative, but warnings are needed more now than at any other time in our
history, that we are not caught up in “looking” for
This judgment seems strange. It is quite
unusual to look at. Instead of unity and fellowship we are finding
estrangements and separations. Instead of close ties that bind us together in
Christian love we find ourselves singled out and left to stand alone before the
Lord who discerns our hearts and thrusts us through with every form of judgment
imaginable all to expose the hidden areas to His gaze. We do not see yet the
measure of the perfect man into the full stature of
Coupled with this judgment of the Lord is the
permission the Lord gives to the spiritual authority on high, those powers of wickedness
in high places to also assault and attack your thinking mind, to accuse you day
and night continually before God. How opposite is that from those who lay wait
for an escape? Rather than resisting the escape doctrine, we lay it aside and
resist instead these assaults on our lives from these higher powers. These
assaults that come to us are warded off by the armor of the spirit we bear
while the Lord judges us. So then on one hand we have the Lord judging us
continually and applying His gaze into the inner recesses of our very souls,
and we have in our understanding the attacks of the minions of hell all to thwart
our forward progress in the things of the Lord. The “air” we will be caught up
into is the spirit nature of
I would mention that we are made to sit
together in heavenly places in
To sum up then this writing one must
carefully examine the facts. We have entered into our jubilee, we have entered
also into the sharper edge of the sword and the greater manifestation of being
singled out, separated and judged by the Lord. We are also still in danger of
looking for the Lord in some location. He is in ONE location, at the right hand
of the Father, which is exactly where He is. The motion of His spirit in us
right now is the continual stripping, processing, scourging and corrections
daily that the true Overcomer endures. It is not yet complete! But it will be
complete! It is going to then be the “sudden” culmination of the appearing of
