I have exhaustively laid out everything that is there, concerning the Father-and-Son relationship, especially the Sonship, because this is the Kingdom Age. In the Church Age, this was never the case, this was never learned the way that we have learned it. I myself never knew about this because as I have said, my stock knowledge was only denominational. What we've learned in the Church Age was all that we had before. But now, the Father-and-Son relationship is very clear to us. We thank the Father for the spiritual enlightenment. |
"What is the Father's spiritual family business? It is His work of saving humankind. This is His family business that involves His Words, and so everyone that is born into the family of the Father, being accountable as a son or a daughter, has the accountability of being ushered to the family business."
|
That was all that we had as a knowledge, until the Father called me and began to reveal to me the things that were very strange to me. But I did not avoid them because when I was in my Kitbog, I already resolved the problem of who was calling me, whether it was a trick of Satan Lucifer the devil or not. Am I being deceived or am I hallucinating? Those were the accusations they accused me of because of these new spiritual experiences and the Father was revealing to me many things that were very strange to me. So I really had to know who was calling me; who's this Spirit that was revealing all these things to me.
|
|
In my one year of Kitbog experience, I learned that it was Him who was calling me. So I walked by faith in following Him. To walk by faith means you don't have to understand. All you have to know is that it is Him dealing with you and that was what I cared about. It was really Him. It was the Almighty Father dealing with me and it was Him that was giving spiritual experiences that I never had in my life and that's enough for me – to walk by faith, following Him, without understanding any of those revelations that were given to me at that time.
The Father's Revelation
How would I ever understand? One of the revelations given to me was that people were in a big gathering, in one big hill or a mountain and I was just passing by in that revelation. All of a sudden, they grabbed me and put me on top and there was a chair waiting for me. They sat me down, put a crown upon me, and said "This is He that we have been waiting for!" It was like a coronation and they were waiting for the right person to become a King. I had never known that in the Church Age. That was a very strange thing to me.
Then He called me and although I did not understand right away the revelations He gave, I believed in them.
In those five years again, after Kitbog, the revelations and spiritual education continued. There was just a glimpse of some knowledge, some learning about this. But not the whole thing that have come to light, in which you will be able to understand everything, specially the Sonship.
Walking by Faith
Even before the Kingship, the Sonship was a very heavy revelation to me. It was never in my wildest dream that it would happen, and why it would happen. So all of this was in the mill of my subconscious mind, waiting to be understood. But I did not reject them. I did not avoid them. I believed them, although I didn't understand them. And as I said, I walked by faith in following Him as long as I knew it was Him who was calling me.
I didn't know that He was already ushering me into something that the Church Age did not understand, avoided, and rejected. I wondered why He would call me and tell me these things that I do not understand.
First of all, before He called me, I thought about it, that they were the ones ahead of us. The Father already had tried to use them and reveal these things. And probably the Father was not really successful. Probably just one revelation of it did not come in, the light has not shone upon them. Their hearts were already closed and would not receive any of the revelations that they do not understand. So the revelations were given to me.
The Father Is All that Matters
But in my case, it was a little bit different because I was obedient. The only thing I asked Him was, "Is this You calling me? Am I not being deceived? Am I not being tricked into this deception? Is this really You calling me?" So when I learned that it was really Him calling me, I followed without any hesitation. I followed Him by faith. I walked in total obedience to His perfect Will, whatever it is – whether I understood it or not, it doesn't matter at all. As long as I know daily in my walk with Him, in my following Him, that it was really Him guiding me, that is all that matters. That is all that I care about.
The Father Ushered Me Into His Kingdom
After that, I learned that I was really being ushered into this ministry. All these revelations that I did not understand before were now so clear. I was being ushered into the Kingdom Age wherein He would produce a Son, and before we have come to know about the adoption of sons and daughters of God, we have read them in the Scriptures. They were all scattered in the books of Romans, Corinthians, Revelation, and so on and so forth. But we cannot put them together. There is no meaning because our understanding is all about the physical family that we have. Anything that we read in the Scriptures about family, we always relate to our own experience of what a family is. But it never jibed. It never dovetailed to what the Word of God is trying to convey to us, because of the mentality that we have.
|
Now, after that the Father has changed my mentality in following Him by faith, slowly but surely, the light started to come in. And after those five years when I heard His Voice, "Now, you are my Son," and of course, who would not be happy to hear the Almighty Father telling you that? That was all that I knew. I did not know that in the Jewish tradition and mentality of a family that we have now known, this is all at play, while I did not have any understanding of this. I was being ushered into it. |
On April 9 to 12, 2004,
the Father told me night after night, "Now, I will divinely transfer
to you
power, riches, wealth, authority, fame, honor, and prestige. |

This is my Father's business now invested
by the Father in me to produce
sons and daughters
all over the world. |
Remember, Jesus Christ in His humanity was a Jew and His concept of a family was Jewish. That's why now, we know that those experiences that I've had were the same experiences as if I was born into a Jewish family, although in the spirit. Now, we can learn about the Scriptures from what Paul had said in Romans and in Corinthians. We can now put them together and they jibe exactly. They have real meaning in the life that we are living now in the Kingdom—why He called me His Son, why He said, "Now, You are my Son. I am Your Father. I am in you, and you are my Residence, you are my Temple." |
Everything now is so clear because we have learned through the times that the Father has revealed to us all of these things in one big clear manner; as if you are looking at a picture that has a meaning. Whereas before, there was no meaning at all. It is like a jigsaw puzzle that you have to put altogether before you can see the clear picture. Now, we are seeing the whole clear picture of it.
The Spiritual Union
We have exhaustively lain out the subject of the "Spiritual Adoption of Sons and Daughters" of God that in the spiritual adoption as patterned in the Jewish tradition of the family, there is the beginning that you are born. That is your Kitbog. You don't know anything, but you are born into a family. That is where I was born. As I said, my Mother and my Father in the spirit met together in a love affair. My Mother, the New Jerusalem, is the spirit that says, "Not my will, but Your Will be done," my Father's spirit says, "My Will be done." My Mother is the most beautiful spirit that He chose to be His Bride, His Wife. Before it was a Bride, which became His Wife, and then produced children, and I was the first one to be produced in that spiritual union.
The Son was Born
I was born in the Spirit of the Father Almighty in the bosom of my Mother, the spirit that is submissive and obedient to the Will of my Father Almighty. That was what nurtured me and I was the firstborn of that union. So I am here today. I grew up in that and I became the Son of the Covenant after that. I knew in the Spirit that I was following Him. A child never knows anything. An infant never knows anything although he is born into a family. But he is already a son of the covenant when he is born into the family, though he has no knowledge at all.
The Jewish Tradition
And that's what happened to me. I had no knowledge about this at all and slowly but surely, the learning would come because you were born into a kind of system already. You will later on know that in the family you were born into, you will be initiated into the system. Like for example, at 8 days old, a Jewish boy is brought to a Rabbi for circumcision. It is a big family celebration being joined by all the community. What is that in our spiritual life? That is when you repent and are circumcised in the heart. And now we know the Word of the Father that says, "Thousands or millions of angels are rejoicing when one soul repenteth," (Luke 15:10) because it is enjoined by all the community of the spiritual family of the Father; angels and all the righteous spirits are witnesses to that.
The same thing happened to me. The Church Age does not know that. But I was initiated to it; that's why I am now talking about it exactly as if I have known it from the beginning. But I didn't know it. I have grown into that system. I was initiated into this family spiritually with this tradition that was kept. So, a Jewish boy is born into this family as an infant knows nothing about it.
Then the boy grows. He is going to grow up into that family system. Slowly, the learning would come to him that this is the way we are; this is the way we do things.
The Circumcision
First is circumcision. In the life of the average Hebrew boy, the first major event which draws broad public attention to him is his circumcision, which occurs when he is an infant, at eight days old. This is the moment that he is marked as a "covenant man" in Israel and is celebrated throughout the community.
When are you going to be a covenant man into the spiritual Israel of the Father? When you truly repent and say, "Not my will, but Your Will be done." Then you are circumcised by heart, as again said by Paul in Romans 2:28-29.
Romans 2:28-29;
v-28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
v-29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Repentance is
the Spiritual Circumcision
Now we are not born in the flesh. That is not in the physical. Even though it is a Jewish system, it is still in the physical. Now to complete it, it is now converted to the spiritual. Paul said, He is not a Jew which is born outwardly, but He is a Jew that is born inwardly, in the spirit. Circumcision is now not of the flesh but of the heart. How does that happen? When you repent, that is your circumcision. When you are circumcised, everybody rejoices. Those families in heaven and those families on earth are all rejoicing with your repentance, with your circumcision. |
Bar-Mitzvah
The second major event is a Hebrew boy's bar-mitzvah, which takes place as he is about to enter into puberty. The word bar-mitzvah actually means "a son accountable."
You are now ushered into manhood when you begin to be accountable. This signifies the time, not only when he is held accountable for keeping the commandments, but also when he is to become an apprentice under his father in the family business.
|
But a child doesn't remain a child.
He only becomes a son or adopted
as a son by investiture. You will
be called a Son by investiture; that's
why He said, "Now you are my Son."
That is an
investiture already. |
|
"The title, 'Son of God,' has everything
to do with him being formally invested
with the office, dignity, power
and right as the official Representative
of God as the Father." |
The Spiritual Apprenticeship
So you are not only accountable in your obedience to the Will of the Father Almighty or to His commandments, you are now being accountable in being an apprentice under the family business.
The family business right now is not physical and so is our accountability. The keeping of the commandments is not only a few, but the keeping of the commandments which the Father gave us and these are in His Will, written in our hearts and in our minds. We keep them and we are obedient to them. That's why we were given the spirit of obedience and then, we are ushered into an apprenticeship in the Father's family business.

The Father's Spiritual Family Business
What is the Father's spiritual family business? It is His work of saving humankind. This is His family business that involves His Words and so everyone that is born into the family of the Father, being accountable as a son or a daughter, also has the accountability of being ushered to the family business. So you have to participate. You have to be there. You have to know everything about the family business of the Almighty Father. You have to know all of these revelations. You have to keep them. You have to also go and occupy, negotiate on this and that, and work in order for the souls to come and be born in the spirit. It is part of the family business that we become fruitful.
Now we understand what John 15 means, when the Father says, "Herein is my Father glorified when ye bear much fruit." He also gave talents to those servants that He sent out, and the mentality of the Almighty Father here is when they come back, they become accountable for what they have done with the talents.
We Should Become Fruitful
When that is applied to us in the spirit, what does that mean? We, too, have to become fruitful in the business that we engage in. We have to produce. We have to be accountable for the fruits that we gather for Him.
John 15:16 says,
"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: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it you."
That is the Father's family business. That's why He ordained us. He adopted us, so that we can go, bear fruit and that our fruit should remain. What are our fruits? The souls that are born into the Kingdom who, later on, would also become sons and daughters finally being given the stamp of approval by the Father Almighty that they are into the family business.
So this is the second, and you begin to learn the family business. That's why Jesus Christ as the Begotten Son, when He was at age of 12 or 13 years old, was lost in the crowd, and His foster mother and father had to find Him. When they found Him, He was at the temple debating with doctors and lawyers and then His foster mother, Mary, told him, "Are you not bothered, we have been looking for you all day." (Luke 2:42-52.)
Jesus answered in verse 49; "How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?"
In that very early age, Jesus Christ knew that the Father's business, was the business of enlightening the people about His role as the Son.
In the physical family tradition of the Jews, they know all of these things. They know that when you are invested as the son, that you are about to go out, using your family name. You are now going out after the investiture of the name of your father.
He said, "Why are you seeking me? Don't you know that I am about my Father's business?" He was truly doing His duty as an accountable Son to the Father and He is doing it in the time of his being a "son-accountable," in His bar-mitzvah.
The Huiothesia
Then the third event is the Huiothesia or the "Young Man's Adoption Ceremony." In the Jewish tradition, even if you are coming biologically from your father, there is a time of adoption. This takes place when a Jewish son turns 30 years old. So the apprenticeship would begin from either 12 or 13 to 30 years old. That takes about 17 years of apprenticeship; and in those 17 years, you have those experiences needed for you to handle your family business without your father. It is now solely in your hand. You are now the one that is commissioned by the Father for that.
This is the Young Man's Adoption Ceremony. This indicates the time when a male child reaches what is considered to be the age of maturity (somewhere around 30). At this time, the father of the young man would place his hand on the head of his son and openly proclaims, "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased! I bestow upon him now all of my riches and power and authority (through power of attorney) so that he might act on my behalf in all of my affairs."
He Will Entrust You the Power and Authority
When you go through this third stage in your life, the Huiothesia, you are mature enough. When He places His hand upon you, that is your power of attorney. You can now go and act on His behalf. Everything you say will be in effect, as if the Father was the one who said it. Everything that you do is as if the Father was doing it, on His behalf. You are fully authorized. You are fully invested with power and authority on His behalf.
On April 9, 10, 11, 12, 2004, after the revelation of the Declaration of the Sonship, night after night, the Father told me, "Now, I will divinely transfer to you power, riches and wealth, and authority, and fame, honor, and prestige."
A careful consideration of Isaiah 9:6 will yield this truth.
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given"
You Will be Adopted
by Investiture
Everything is becoming clear to us as noonday sun. When I was born in Kitbog, I was His child. I was an infant. But a child doesn't remain a child. He only becomes a son or adopted as a son, by investiture. You will be called a Son by investiture that's why He said, "Now you are my Son." That is an investiture already.
Isaiah 9:6 is becoming very clear. "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." It now gives us a lot of meaning. It gives a lot of sense.
That is to say, that unto Israel, a child was to be born (by means of birth), and then, they were to be given a Son (by means of investiture). The child was Jesus of Nazareth; and the Son was Jesus Christ. The word "investiture" comes from the word "invest." It means a formal investing of a person with an office, dignity, power and right. The title, "the Son of God," has everything to do with Him being formally invested with the office, dignity, power, and right as the official representative of God as the Father.
Furthermore in the rest of Isaiah 9:6-7, the formal investiture of the Begotten Son is to the highest office, not only in Israel, but in the universe:
v-6 … and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
v-7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near. The Kingdom of Heaven is a government. Now in the Gentile Setting, all of these have been inherited by the Appointed Son from my Father in the Spirit, who is the Almighty Father, our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Son: The Father's
Representative
To the ancient Hebrews' way of thinking, sonship constitutes rulership. Even while the father is still alive, his "son" is equal to the father. When the son speaks, it is as if the father has spoken. In the Hebrew concept, the son is the representative of the father.
|
Even in the Greco-Roman tradition, adoption distinguishes a "child" from a "son." Adoption connotes responsibility, purpose and authority. Adoption is defined as the fulfillment of the father's plan as a legal, mature adult son.
I was born in the Spirit; but He adopted me, after my Tamayong experience. My Kitbog experience was when I was born in the Spirit. There is no doubt about it at all. He is my Father and in my Tamayong, He let me go through those five years of training in tribulation. I call it the furnace of affliction in order for me to become trustworthy. At the end of the day, He saw that I was firm in my decision, and in my freedom of choice in following His Will. I heard Him say, "Now, you are My Son." |
