Debrecen Messages #11 – The Revelation of Gold and The Most Beautiful Girl in the World

I am the way. As well as the truth and the life. He is that gold that is the way. The gold has become the way in. He is that street, that way. One way. through gates that are open all the way to the throne. He is the gold, the divine life; always, the gold is divine life.

Now, Abel, when you go through the Old Testament and you find all that gold in the tabernacle and temple, watch, that’s telling you about the life of God. There’s bronze in there, which means wrath. There’s silver in there that means redemption. And there’s gold in there that means the life of God.

Now, you have been scholars. You’ve been taught a lot of things. What’s the ark made out of? The ark. The very center of the tabernacle is the Holy of Holies, and in it, centered inside of it, a wood covered with gold. Now what in the world does that mean? Something human and something divine. And what’s the room made out of? It’s a perfectly cubicle room. It’s made out of gold, pure gold. It’s the same dimensions as the New Jerusalem, except smaller. The new Jerusalem is a cubicle.

Gold. His life in you. It’s gold. You can’t wear it out. You can’t burn it up. You can’t destroy it. It’s always shining. It’s indestructible. That’s his life in you. And he’s working gold in you. He works more and more gold in you.

All right. The pearl. I’ve already told you what the pearl is. The pearl is transformation of something that was one thing and has become another, and I believe this is something that God did in His Son through the cross, but it is also something God is doing in you. He is turning you into a pearl. He is that great pearl. She is that great pearl, and you are part of that pearl, and He has been wounded by you, and he’s changing that into something glorious, a pearl.

Now, Peggy, I asked you what the gold was, and it was the streets, and you were perfectly correct. Now then, see if you can tell me what the pearl is in the New Jerusalem. It’s the gates. It’s the invitation in, and those gates don’t have any gates on them. They’re open. For all believers. I don’t fully understand that. All I can say is that transformation is no longer silver. The silver lets us into the kingdom, but when redemption is over, Peggy, it’s not silver that lets us in; it’s all that hard transformation that went on in our souls that is the invitation in. It is a beautiful thing to have the cross worked into you, and you’re going to forget I ever said that, and there are times I forget I’ve said that, but the pearl is a gate and inside that kingdom there are many things, but you come through being changed from one element to another, and that hurts Him, and it hurts you, and God is in the business of changing us from one thing to another, and He does it by means of two sources only – His cross that destroys and His life that builds.

Kalia, let’s say a great, joyful day comes to your life, and the Lord is so close to you, and you’re going around praising Him all day long. Would you not say that is a day when you grow in Christ? Probably not, because sister, we seem to only grow…do you know this word crucibles…okay, we only grow in the crucibles and the crises of life. Joy seems to be, you know, an outburst of thanksgiving to him for what he’s done. There’s very little growth in joy. Just a little. Sister, there is so much growth in death and suffering. Listen to this sentence.

The only place you will ever, ever, ever really see the work of God in your life is from the view you have while hanging on a cross. And there’s so much sweat and blood and tears you don’t see too well. His life is best understood hanging on a cross, and it’s the change that comes to us after we have been crucified.

Now, Pilo, you’re young, but I want to explain to you, my brother, there’s a difference between the cross and crucifixion. The cross is a daily suffering. Crucifixion is a terrible, ugly, vicious, gory thing that destroys very deeply, and until the day you get crucified by some fellow Christians, you don’t really know what suffering is.

It’s not the silver of redemption that lets us into that city. It’s the transformation of the pearl. And lastly, I’m not even going to talk about this. I’m going to talk about it a little bit. Hold on. What’s the third thing that was in Genesis 2? Precious stones, probably in the water.

All right, we’re going to ask Abel a question. Brother Abel, what is a diamond made out of? Carbon. Carbon, that’s it. Have you ever seen a piece of carbon? Yes, black, ugly, and a diamond – just about the most beautiful thing there is when it’s been cut on. What has happened? Structure is different because of the heat.

I can tell you this. The gold is his life. The pearl is something that has been changed from one thing to another. A stone is the same thing, but it has been burned until it looks in appearance totally different.
