God's Hidden Intentions

I have shared with you and others before that it was my pleasure and privilege to know Sis. Dora Van Assen who was a real Mother in Israel. She was a pioneer of the reconciliation message, and in fact, was used by Spirit to carry the word of God’s love for all into many places around the globe, not counting all the places and peoples her writings reached. I feel it a shame that her work has not been given a place on the net like so many of the other pioneers.

She also was taken by spirit into a trance for about 4 hours back in the 1940’s while she and a friend were out in the Southwest desert praying together. Her and her husband were living and ministering among the Indians tribes there at that time. Her friend perceived that she had been slain in the spirit and went on home to meet her children when they arrived home from school. Sis. Dora was shown the plan of God thru the ages or eons from God All in One to God All In All. It was this message that she took around the world.

I said all that because your comments about how it was God’s intent to deceive the people until the time of the end made me recall a thought that she used to share with us that always witnessed with my spirit. I just wanted to add it with your testimony if I might even if it is a little late in this thread. But before I do, I would like to add that 20 years ago she was teaching the word that Jesus was made like unto his brethren in every way and did not have special flesh because it would not have been a fair test if he had not been like us. He could not have been tempted in all points if he was above temptation. This teaching did not win her brownie points then, either, with her kingdom brethren but as I said the main thrust of her ministry was the sharing of God’s Love for All. I know her enchristed spirit makes up part of that great cloud of witnesses cheering us on to the fullness.

“God’s Revealed Will versus God’s Hidden Intention” was the title of her teaching I wanted to share. And as you were saying “He has hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them unto babes.”

For instance: It was God’s revealed will that Israel be given the Law and to keep the Law, but it was His hidden intention that ultimately they would not and could not, at least not from the flesh or outer man. For they were playing out their part as living object lessons unto us upon whom the end of the ages have come Paul said. They were teaching us spiritual principles by becoming living object lessons.

His revealed will says “Thou shalt not kill”, but it was his hidden intention that his Son would be. “…the rulers were assembled and combined together against the Lord and against His anointed, Christ the Messiah.
To carry out all that Your hand and Your will and purpose had predestined (predetermined) should occur.” Act 4


The Lamb (this includes the Lamb company) that had been slain in the heavens(the mind of God) before the foundation of the world was now being manifested in the earth…..”testified of in due time”.

His Revealed Will:
“For I tell you that Christ, the Messiah, became a servant and a minister to the circumcised [the Jews] in order to show God’s truthfulness and honesty by confirming the promises [given to our]
fathers.

His Hidden Intention:
And [also in order] that the Gentiles might glorify God for [His uncovenanted] mercy to them. As it is written, “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles, and sing praises to Your name. Psa. 18:49

Again it is said, Rejoice, O Gentiles, along with His [own] people; quoting Deut. 32:43

And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles (nations), and let all the peoples praise Him! Quoting Psa 117:1

Jesus came unto His own, ie Israel as the revealed will of God, but it was his hidden intention to gather all the nations. (thru His many-membered Christ)

If Jesus had come any sooner upon the scene, the consciousness of man would not have been prepared enough or matured enough to hold the seed of Life (they would have aborted it) and if He had come any later, we would not have had the past two days to have our consciousness’ healed and to have our devils (our misperceptions) cast out and to carry the seed to full term and birth. Just as in Gen. 1 on the fourth day, God said”Let there be lights…and let them be for signs and to mark seasons, days, and years.”

Ephesians speaks of the “eternal” purpose of God, but if God had an “eternal” purpose, it would never begin and it would never end. So I believe that the Concordant Literal renders it more correctly by saying


“And to enlighten all as to what is the administration of the secret, which has been concealed from the eons in God, Who creates all, that now may be made known to the sovereignties and authorities among the celestials, through the ecclesia, the multifarious wisdom of God, in accord with the PURPOSE OF THE EONS, which He makes in Christ Jesus, our Lord…”

In its higher spiritual sense WE ARE THOSE EONS, and we are the lights that are markers for what day and season and year it is. We are not just passing through the eons, but the eons are passing through us, ie, Innocence, Conscious, Promise, Law, Grace, Truth, Darkness, Light. Etc.

We are God’s Day that is the cause not the effect happening. “The rising sun does not fight the night”. It is the changeless cause. We (the Christ company) are the movers and shakers (earthquakes) causing men’s hearts to fail as they call for the “mountains and the rocks” to fall on them. You, as Christ Jesus the rock will fall on creation and this stone shall become a great mountain and fill the whole earth!

Please know, I speak highly of the Christ for all glory and honor and majesty is due his name. For it is the Father expressed. We speak not of our separated ego self that is not really real for what could die or be consumed that is real. Let every “man” (carnal) be called a liar but God (spirit) the truth. “If we deny him, (can’t see that we are a Christ) he remains faithful for he cannot deny himself (his own Christ nature). This is what it means to deny the Lord to me.

God is no respecter of persons, right? Why? Because every man IS HIS PERSON ! That’s why he cherishes and chastens EVERY SON , because every son is to be an expression of the Father and He wants an exact image. The Father is the Unmanifest that just IS, but the son is the Father expressed or manifested. And the Son lives and moves and has his being in Him the Father. For there is nowhere He (the Omnipresent Father) is not. You can’t get out of God, for he is the inside and the outside of everything that exists.

God knows when the little sparrow falls. Because God IS the sparrow. God is All. How much of All is not All?

Everything came out of God, and returns to God, but not void. We are the sent words of God that do not return void. Void of what? Void of experience or experiential knowing having our senses exercised to know good and evil.
