THE UNLEAVENED WORD
There has been some things happening lately with some people we fellowship with from time to time. For me they say did you read so and so's writings and we would read there writings, and find so much mixture of truth and error in there teaching. When we would point this out, they tend to say we all have mixture, so just chew on the meat and spit out the bones. Or there is no ministry today that doesn’t have some mixture of truth and error in what they teach. This all "sounds" plausible BUT then the Lord started to open up my understanding along these lines.
I'll just share it as the Spirit opened it up. What I heard in my spirit was "All those who aspire to virginal purity in spirit, must partake of the UNLEAVENED bread of truth, if we keep partaking of a mixed word we will never qualify for that Oneness of Spirit to which we are called." For there is a pure word coming forth from HIS throne, and it is this word of Life, that we need to partake of before we will be qualified to sit with Him on His throne.
For we must be cleansed from all "filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." (1 Cor.7:1) The admonition of warning about Leaven is given." Do you not know that even a little leaven leavens all the lump?" ( 1 Cor. 5:6)
We all have picked up some teaching's mixed with mans ideas and truth, but God is dealing with us as Son's and it is time for us to stand before the throne, to hear that which, proceeds from the throne. And our Father shall deal with the leaven in us for this is why we are plunged into so many fires. For we see in Hosea 7:4 "as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened." The baker kneads the dough until we find that little leaven of UN-TRUTH has penetrated the whole lump to start the leavening process, so into the fires we go to find that which thought was truth, could not withstand the fire. For the fire stops the leaven from growing.
And one more verse, that deals with the mixture we pick up from others, for God speaks a pure word, yet it becomes tainted by our earthen state and so "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." ( Psalms 12:6) It’s interesting to note that the Feast of UNLEAVENED bread, lasted seven days.
There is much talk of Feast of Tabernacles, and the vision has been imparted and a foretaste has been given, yet the Lord would lead us full circle to deeper understanding of the Feast's, and the Tabernacle , as we would become the embodiment of the message, of types. For all the lessor qualifications must first be meet, before the greater will come forth.
"Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth...Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump" (1 Cor 5:8,7)
Without getting into the types of the Passover, the Passover is about partaking of Life; it is the personal participation of each of us that we are to partake of the eating of the lamb. And we know "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him." (Jn 6:44) And then we come to find the grace and love of God directed to us-ward, as we also see the fulfillment of our partaking of the lamb while in Egypt, the realization that; "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain." (Jn 15:16)
Along with the feast, after eating the Lamb, was also the celebration of UNLEAVENED bread, and as Paul stated, it is first a state of being, that we partake of to become UNLEAVENED. Second, it describes the quality of Gods word given to us to hear.
On the one hand we partake of eating UNLEAVENED bread. This speaks of the pure words we receive of Christ, who is the bread of Life. As we progress from the milk of the word, to the strong meat. For the Melchizedek Priesthood consist of sharing the bread and wine, and this bread will have no tainting of death from man only life. We are to be a new lump that has no leaven of mans own doctrines and teachings, nor Adams nature. For it must only be a pure word. And it is upon that personal word of the revealing of the Lamb, that we become that new lump. For this is an UNLEAVENED bread. The warning given to the Hebrews during the celebration of the eating of UNLEAVENED bread was to search their households for any leaven. If any leavened bread was eaten during these seven days they were excommunicated from the community and privileges of the chosen people. (Ex.12:15)
This is why we also see when we first pointed out the scriptures From 1 Cor 5:7-8 Paul had this understanding of the Spiritual application of the feast. For the preceding verses they talk of whoever brought in this teaching of fornication that had become leaven, that they be delivered over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, excommunicated!
So we are at the time when what we share should only be that which the Father has spoken to us, and not to go beyond that.
The second aspect is our state of being UNLEAVENED. This bread is spoken of as the " unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." (1Cor 5:8) It's where we are honest with ourselves that we find we are nothing, it is the inworking of being humbly minded of who we are. We no longer think more highly of ourselves, but only that which God imparts. For we are being flattened as unleavened bread. Our ego is flattened, our self-life is being flattened to where we no longer try to generate being spiritual, but become yielded to the Spirit alone. For we know our change only proceeds from the Lord. It is where we come to KNOW BY EXPERIANCE "That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." ( Luke 4:4) That word being the very thought, will and intent of God. It is no less than the reveling of the Jesus Christ, as we partake of this feast.
Then there are the qualifications of the Tabernacle, specifically partaking of the "table of shewbread" with the UNLEAVENED cakes from the table. Without getting into all of the types of the Holy place. There are these particulars to point out. Much has been taught on the Holy place and the mixture of it only being the impart realm, or the type of Pentecost. This mixture is part flesh and part spirit. But the UNLEAVENED bread is not the mixture. For it is still the pure words of the Lord were by we are changed from one degree of glory to another. For the table is the face of his presence. For much that has passed off as part of Pentecost has not been a true Pentecost. Nor has it been an UNLEAVENED word. For if it has been part truth and part lie then it had no place in the Holy place, and to equate it as such is not true.
To end this up there has been much talk about not partaking of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So some would say well he has some truth (good) and some things are not truth but mans doctrines (evil) so see no evil they proclaim, yet not realizing they are still partaking of the tree of good and evil. For God would have us to partake of tree of Life, not mixture. So the saying "eat the meat and spit out the bones" is not a word for those who are going on to perfection. For we are to be a new lump leavened with the Kingdom of heaven, not the leaven of Adam. I will leave it here with a quote from a brother given many years ago; (quote) "There are many kingdoms in the world today, and thay are not all evil, many are very good kingdoms in their own realm. They are being used by God for a purpose. But for YOU AND ME they must not be the kingdom which leavens our lump. God does not allow us to be involved with them, because he has called us aside, to be thoroughly leavened by HIS KINGDOM. don’t forget a kingdom presupposes A KING. For the kingdom is literally "the kings domain." For HIS elect there is but ONE HEAD, Jesus Christ. They who are led by His Spirit. They will be thoroughly leavened by His AUTHORITY, as He is in sovereign control within them." (end quote)
The warning goes out, we are to keep our garden. "And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." (Gen 2:15) The story of the garden is being played out again and again. For that tree of good and evil is still here within us. And we are being exercised to keep our garden. For many see the good fruit that mixture produces and feel they can partake of it, yet not realizing that the principle of "A little leaven leavens the whole lump." Will touch them also. Children, in understanding, need to touch fire to know it will burn them but those, who are having there senses exercised to discern both the good and evil, the time to come out from this is now!
