Can You Handle The Truth?

finally... 'and when I saw Him, my chains fell from me'

From Communion with Camille August 4, 2015

What is the relationship of Hiddenness & Holy Concealment to The Revelation given by the Holy Spirit in the Glory, Face and Image of Jesus Christ in CommunionFire? Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.  If it is Jesus Flesh and Blood then it is Jesus. He is resident in "The Bread of His Flesh as Real Food and in The Wine of His Blood as Real Drink".  Real means you eat and drink the way, the truth and the life. When you look at the bread and handle the bread and eat the bread it is Jesus all 3 times. Jesus is the word made flesh and He calls the bread His flesh. What do you call it? He calls the wine His Blood. What do you call it? Why is this important? Because Jesus said, "If you don't eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you." Was Jesus serious about this? There's more to it than words. Jesus is the Truth. The Truth is Jesus. He called this "real food and drink". The word Truth is the same word as the word Real. 
From Jesus' Communion Sermon at the Temple in Capernaum. John 6

Outside of this there is no eternal truth. Jesus is Truth. People are constantly learning their whole lives to gain knowledge (gnosis) and never, never ever come to the knowledge (epignosis) of The Truth, because The truth is a person not a concept. They never come to have Jesus disclosed to them. They only see and hear what is natural and never super natural. They may "know" tons of stuff, even spiritual stuff, but unless the Truth has been revealed to you - you have never encountered The Truth. The Truth is a person! He is know as the Word of God. He is known as Jesus. He tells us how to experience The Truth - it is by encountering Him in Communion. You may have met Him and received him into your life. He sat at my table for 40 years. He is patient! Now I come to His Table - empty handed. I bring nothing, He prepares and provides everything. 


1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2 

"What was concealed will be revealed" Mathew 10:26, Mark 4:22, Luke 12:2, Luke 8:17, (Proverbs 26:26)
VS. "Ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth." 2 Timothy 3:7 
(Exodus 7:11 Compared by Paul to two Egyptian magicians, Jannes & Jambres, who, in the presence of Pharaoh imitated the miracles of Aaron in order to destroy his influence with the king. Also to Balaam in Numbers 22:22 when God was angry for his disobedience and Balaam made himself God's adversary - the donkey saw the angel with the drawn sword but Balaam (blinded by his pride) could not see what the donkey could see.)

Examples: Where Jesus is Hidden/Concealed
As the Word of God in Heaven
As The Word made flesh in the womb of Mary
As The NT Word made flesh concealed the OT Temple at 12 years Old
As The Word becoming fully flesh in His home in Nazareth for 18 years
As in not seen by the blind Pharisees and yet seen and heard and believed upon by the multitudes
As in hidden from Judas while in His presence for 3 years
As in the Bread He blessed and broke and in the Wine He blessed
As in the tomb and then resurrected
As in Emmaus on the road then seen and recognized in breaking bread
As hidden inside us - Christ in you the hope of glory
As in our lives hidden with Christ in God
As in hidden from Israel but then the scales will fall
As in Blind Saul religious self-righteous pharisee who became 
Paul man after God’s own heart, righteous by faith

You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life. John 5:37-40

"Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures." Luke 24:45 Only Jesus can open our eyes to see Him, our ears to hear Him and our minds to understand even the Scriptures. Note: You cannot understand the scriptures unless The Word Himself opens them so that you see Him; so that you  can perceive The Truth. Communion is His provision for this and the location He designed for us to meet with Him. The Creator God 'invented' Communion for you and me. This is the new "Holy of Holies". It is where He is waiting to share His life.

Doubt - Belief/Faith
No Communion - CommunionFire
Earth - Heaven
Blind - Revelation
The Old Covenant - The New Covenant
Natural – Super natural
Temporal – Eternal
Carnal – Spiritual
Passover - Communion
Bread - Flesh (though it appears to be and tastes like bread in the natural)
Wine - Blood (though it appears to be and tastes like wine in the natural)
Bound - Set Free
(you can add your own to the list)

What Happens in CommunionFire: Deepening Conversion = Greater and Greater Transformation = Wholeness

How Jesus said it would happen:
(Blind - See) Opens our eyes by Revelation (Phos) light of His glory, glory reveals Jesus presence
+ (Deaf - Hear) Opens our hearing by His Voice (Rhema) sound of His whisper/voice reveals Jesus presence
= Understanding floods our heart that engenders 
= Deeper Conversion from outward life focus to inward/heavenly/eternal life awareness releases 
= Healing, Shalom the Peace of the Lord for Wholeness and Fullness. 

GRACE: Grace folded (like kneading bread dough) into Grace become Greater Grace
GLORY: In His Glory transformed from Glory to Glory (One degree of glory to another)
STRENGTH: From Strength to Strength in Zion – as in Tabernacle of David as in CommunionFire
FAITH: Faith Upon Faith
The Organic Spiritual Growth is the Fruit of Being with Jesus: Greater Love, Faith, Joy, Peace, Grace, Goodness and an eternal bounty from our relationship with Him.

Seed – dies and blooms – by water and sun to become a plant of the Lord – tree/vine/harvest
Jesus is and does/shares/gives takes care of everything.
The results of being in the Lord’s presence. Growth, Conversion, Transformation

Searching, hidden, concealed, hiding, reveal, brightness, glory, radiant, cloud bring to light
VS. Ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth

Gnosis = our attempts to learn and understand spiritual things as mortal people VS
Epignosis = that which is ‘given to us’ as revealed by God in Communion – to which He also ‘gives’ understanding about what has been revealed.

Man, religion, academics, intelligentsia = constantly book reading, hearing about, being taught never leads to the knowledge (revelation) of the truth. 

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, 
and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 

John 14:6 Thomas said, Lord we don't know the way? Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 8:32 "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

TRUTH = PRESENCE (Like Love and Light, 
Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life.) 
The glory upon Him and His image is bright white 
(Transfiguration Mountain) Moses and Elijah bright light, Jesus = white light.  John 14:6

FROM ALPHA: Not (Unseen) 
In other words: very see-able – tangible – the presence of the Lord in communion. The greater the glory the greater the clarity, brightness, shining, radiance, like clarity of a diamond.

We encounter His presence, see His glory by virtue of seeing his image, His ‘face.’

AS IN: My Flesh is real food, my Blood is real drink

John 6: 54"He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 
55"For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 
56"He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him

Unconcealed – unescapably true NOT HIDDEN – “Truth”

I am the The Good Shepherd, I am the Way; - 
I am the bread, I am The Truth; 
I am the blood, I am the Life! 
I am the Light. In Me is no darkness at all, not even a shadow.

"The Holy Spirit comes to lead you into My reality – I am the reality. He comes to bring all things to your remembrance – He will show you, He will speak to you and He cannot show you anything or tell you anything unless it has come from Me for You.
 
He will also show you things to come."

(Grapes + Leaven of sin) (Crushed by persecution) Grape/Water + Fire of Time = Wine –> Blood –> Spirit
