{1} – The Church or kingdom community, local and universal is in Transitioning, from glory to glory, from faith to faith, from conception to perfection, from the cross to the throne, from Moses’ Tabernacle to Solomon’s Temple.
II Corinthians 3:18 {Change is perhaps the single most important word in our process: 1 Corinthians 15:51-54}
{2} – Transition is the passing from one condition, form, stage, place, and activity to another. It is the period of passing. Out of Egypt , through the Wilderness, to the Promised Land {30-60-100 fold}
{3} – Transitioning involves a delicate and intense process of change. It may even involve transformation and translation. Colossians 1:13; 2 Samuel 3:10; 1 Thessalonians 4:6-18; Hebrews 11:5; 12:26-28 Romans 12:2
{4} – Transitioning is purpose through process. Process is not punishment. Purpose through Process {Abraham was MADE a father of many nations} leads to promotion, prosperity and posterity. {Includes P.I.T. – Prophets In Training and for others at times P.M.S. Or, Prophetic Mood Swings
{5} – Transitioning requires personal confrontation of oppressive positions and limited mentalities. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Deuteronomy 7:1-5; 12:1-2: 1 Tim. 1:18; Acts 10:38
{6} – Transitioning is linked with maturity. It is one aspect to be spiritual, and there is yet another to be mature. Maturity requires a pattern, and Jesus is the pattern son and the blueprint of perfection. He is the path that leads to the Father’s glory. Ezekiel 43:10; Ephesians 4:13-15; Colossians 2:10, 19; Hebrews 2:10; 5:8-9; 6:20; Exodus 25:8-9: Hebrews 6:20
{7} – Transitioning is not exclusive to the spiritual dimension only, but is applicable to the natural as well. Transitioning is evident in physical and mental growth, from childhood to adulthood, having many levels. 1 Corinthians 13:11; 14:20; 15:46; 1 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter 3:18
{8} – Transitioning is apostolic & prophetic in principle, nature, character, scope, and dimension. Transition recognizes the important stages and development of the saints. Whether individual or corporate in caliber, transitioning acknowledges the need to migrate into greater spheres and frequencies of the Spirit through the active force of Spiritual momentum. Thus, transitioning here enables you to pioneer new calibrations in the Spirit. 3:19; 4:13; Hebrews 6:5; Deuteronomy 31:2-3; Romans 8:37-39
{9} – Transitioning is seen in the scripture from name change to nature change. Abram became Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, and Jacob becoming Israel . Jacob was created but Israel was formed. Isaiah 43:1: 44:1-2; Galatians 4:19;
{10} – Transitioning is a way of life. From so called losses to gains, transition is inevitable. From kindergarten to College, and from being single to become one in marriage, transition is inevitable. Being married doesn’t make you a man or a woman. You must develop manhood before marriage, manhood before ministry. Genesis 2:24
Transition from the Tabernacle Pattern
{11} – The three dimensions of Moses’ Tabernacle reveal present truth of the progressive spiritual maturity of the saints. It reveals the maturing process, and the migration into new realities and thresholds of the Spirit. Note below some important principles of the Tabernacle pattern, and compare… Exodus 25:9

{12} – The Principles of Excellent things recorded in Proverbs 22:20-21 is defined by the Hebrew word “Shalosh,” which is “Three-fold.” Here, it reveals how the Lord speaks in “3’s,” such as in Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit being one. Some call these persons, other’s as manifestations. But the truth is Jesus did not come to talk about the Father, but to reveal him. We are not here to talk about Jesus, but to reveal him. If you have seen HIM, you have seen the Father. In all of our doctrinal positions, what has it produced, the fruit of the Spirit or the flesh? Are we knowing him and making HIM known?
{13} – In Matthew 13:23, those that receive seed upon good ground are those that hear the word {30 – fold}, understand {60 – fold}, and bear fruit {100 – fold} – some 100 {notice 100 is first mentioned here, as oppose to 30 – some 60, and some 30. The higher number is given first, or in present truth language, the most holy place is first mentioned. Did you get that? For we were born in the Holy of Holies!
{14} – The Tabernacle pattern contains three dimensions each with its own pieces of furniture. Note below…
The furniture is patterned in the form of a cross. +
Mercy –Seat
Ark
Altar of Incense
Golden Candlesticks Table of Shewbread
Laver
Brazen Altar
In the pattern, the Altar of Incense typifies Jesus as the centerpiece of the cross. In addition to this, each piece of furniture reveals the progressive spiritual maturity of the saints from the outer court to the most holy place, although we are BORN in and FROM the MOST HOLY PLACE ! For the way to the throne { Ark – Mercy Seat} is through the blood and the cross {Brazen Altar – where sin is judged, where we are made righteous. The four horns of the Brazen Altar are covered with blood, symbolizing the four-corners of the earth. From one point our race may begin with the Father by view of the outer court, but HIS race begins with us from the most holy place. { Secret Place }
{15} – The Outer Court mentality is a beginner for many. But when you compare this dimension with the most holy place, you begin to see a vastly different dimension of grace and glory than the comforts and security of the outer court. You begin to get a passion for the manifest and eternal presence of the Lord beyond the outer court, from within the holiest.
For if you overstay your time, broad is the way to destruction. In other words, you can treat the outer court like a security blanket, a place of ease, no risks involved. For many, the outer court is satisfied with just simply being a Christianette, period. For many, they don’t want to grow up in the full stature of Christ. They like the idea of being pampered and teased in the outer court. Everything there seems to be safe, and no adventure ahead.
{16} – The Holy Place is the realm between the opposite ends of the Tabernacle. It is in the holy place where we begin to define what is going on in the most holy place. If we overstay our time here, it becomes duality and mixture, carnality to say the least.
It is here {in Spirit} where Jesus received the troubling {agitation and stirring} of the soul as confirmed in John 12:27 {vss. 23-28}
In this dimension, Jesus continued to go further into the most holy place as oppose to some that return to the outer court {Retreat mentality} for fear of what’s ahead of them. Like the Day of Atonement, there are two different kinds of Priesthood’s. One is the high priest that prevails beyond the veil of the holy of holies, and the other is the everyday priesthood that retreats to the outer court. Those priests can’t enter in for the nation of Israel , but the one high priest can. For here I see Jesus pressing forward into the fullness promise, while the other fat cats return to the outer court premises. {Hebrews 4:1-11}
In one sense, the outer court is the body, the holy place is the soul, and the most holy place is the spirit. According to John 12:25, we must lose the lower life of the psuche, and find the higher life of Zoë. For the soul must be caught up into the ascendancy of the spirit, as the spirit is caught up unto God.
The real battleground is in the mind, above your nose, and between your ears. Our biggest enemy is not the devil, but the way we think. Our greatest sex organ is not below, but above our shoulders. If we can get the Psuche {we’ll call her Sue} into the ascendancy, the soul will reflect the overcoming substance of the spirit, and the body will animate that life-changing nature being renewed in the soul. For again, the spirit is the source to the soul’s expression! From a present truth standpoint, a healthy and vibrant soul is in part, a result of your spiritual dietary modification and intake. The spirit then, only knows God, and is one with HIM. Here, God talks to God and manifests the glory of this communion. Through the quickening spirit, your inner man can only see, hear, and speak God!
{17} – The third dimension is the most holy place. It is liken to the third day resurrection of Jesus Christ, a realm of grace and glory that swallows up the other two realms of our maturity. The holy of holies is the realm of the overcomer. It is the realm of the Spirit that is far greater in vast dimension than the outer court and the holy place combined.
True, the physical Tabernacle structure in the wilderness afforded the larger compartment to the outer court, and the second largest to the holy place, but in Spirit, the holiest of all has the greater breadth, width, depth, and height than any of the first two combined. Ephesians 3:18
Christianity has lived much of its life in one or two dimensions. However, there is a vast beyond in the most holy place, a realm of substance and overcoming life that must be pioneered by a people of the Father’s passion. It is a realm where we vanquish beyond the ordinary, the mundane, and the mediocre, into the flowing streams of life that is prepared for those that enter in. Psalms 46:4
There is a path which no fowl knows, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen: The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed it. Job 28:7-8
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ears heard, neither has entered into the heart of man, the things which, God hath prepared for them that love them. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yea, and the deep things of God. 1st Corinthians 2:9-10 {Hebrews 6:4-9}
Once again, the holy of holies is the largest spiritual dimension than both the outer court and holy place combined. Proverbs 25:2
Tradition teaches that it is over yonder in Beulah Land . However, the true realm of the overcomer is not to be experienced in the sweet bye-and-bye, but in the now-and-now. For as we speak, mortality is swallowed up by LIFE!
So beloved, we can move into a new realm of maturity where the very substance and pure nature of Jesus Christ transform through the image of God. For in this dimension the WORD of God becomes incarnate and not shadow. Here, the WORD is SPIRIT and LIFE, and not doctrinal battles. In this proceeding and NOW word, you become a quickened man, as revealed in part in Isaiah 11:2-3: 2 Corinthians 12:1-4; Galatians 1:12; Romans 11:33; Colossians 2:3;
Yes beloved, transitioning may experience roses and thorns, light and darkness, the heavenlies and the shadow of death. But the unfolding glory of the Lord awaits us. It is come to consume us, to envelop and engulf us. It is come outside the range of age and time, and is invading our time with eternity! It is making known the eternal will and purposes of God 1st Corinthians 15:51-54; Exodus 33:18
