“THE LIGHT”

Part 2

By Nita Johnson

 

EPHESIANS 4:11-15 IS THE RECIPE TO BREAK THE SPELL OF OVER-STIMULATION IN ANY AREA OF LIFE!

 

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.”

 

Over time, many things can bring us regular stimulation, they can bring us over-stimulation, and they can bring us under-stimulation. The problem arises when the spirit delivering this stimulation is ungodly! From things that seem as small as gossip, stimulating that sort of bullying behavior, or even beating yourself up by working out too much, even these things are not small in the eyes of God, because He wants us to inherit the life He designed for us, which has Heavenly weight and benefit.

 

The last time I spoke, I talked about the Spirit of Stimulation and the fact that we need that comfort from the Lord to bring us into the fullness of Ephesians 4:11-15. Why? Because we are human beings and we just tend to move slower on things than we really should. So, it would be a real good idea for you to begin praying for that. You might ask yourself, “When have I prayed enough?” The answer is never! Pray at all times, in every season, on every occasion, in the Spirit! (Ephesians 6)

 

The Lord started speaking to me many years ago, giving me experiences and the reality of the fact that He is getting ready to cause an “Army of Light” to arise in the earth. I do not know how long He has been talking to me about this, probably since ‘83 or ’84. But it has just been little drops here and there in my walk. But as of late it has been, I would safely say, every other day that He has either visited me, spoken to me or sent an angel to come in and convey a message. He is still doing this because of the revelation that I am going to be sharing with you today. It is very important that the Body of Christ gets hold of this message, gets it into their heart, and that they begin responding to it. I think if we do not head in that direction really quickly, we are going to miss out on something awesome, incredible, majestic and powerful…on and on it goes. We are going to miss all that because we were not ready. So please, listen with that in mind.

So, what is it we need the Spirit of Stimulation to help us out with? First of all, I am going to put it to you point blank: The Lord is, even now, beginning to prepare a Body of people to become priests and kings of light.

 

1 Peter 1:17    And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.

1 Peter 1:23    Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the one Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.

1 Peter 2:9      But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

1 Peter 2:5      Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

 

I have written two books that are very critical and very powerful, because God said they needed to be written and the Body of Christ needed to read them before the day that is just ahead of us happens. Why? Because if you do not know what He is going to do and how He is going to do it, you are not going to be ready the way He needs you to be. One of those books is “Putting On The Breastplate Of Righteousness” and the other is “Melchizedek Priesthood.” That is kind of the beginning premise that He has us munching on right now.

 

The Breastplate of Righteousness does not simply guard the body and the breast bone, protecting our lungs and heart, but it also guides us by protecting our future! How so? By giving us restitute and firmly putting us in right standing with God, a treasure we should not miss out on every day that we brave the paths on this earthly playing field! Join us as we repent and guard our lives and our futures with this amazing piece of heavenly war armor teaching.

 

We have been called to be a Chosen Race. A Royal Priesthood. A Dedicated Nation. God’s own purchased special people, that you may show forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Now if you ask, “What virtues?” you can just write on your paper, “The Love Chapter.” There are many places in the Bible that speak of the virtues of Christ. Some omit one thing. Others omit others. But when you have finished reading all the virtues (and there is quite a handy number) that have to not only be developed by our determination, but we need Jesus to come and do what we do not know how to do.

 

The best way to walk this thing out is that in your prayer time. Tell Him where you stand, that we need Him to live His life out through us, and then go through the virtues and invite Him in to do that. Then, when you get into serious problems, do not run from the Lord. Run to Him and say to Him, “I feel like I need [this virtue or that virtue] to make it through this. Please do that for me. Provide me with that grace, that learning experience and provide me with Your power, Your Majesty and Your virtue in this situation.” And if you will get into the habit of doing that, you are going to find that walking with the Lord, as we look at what is coming, is going to be so much easier.

 

The Lord started speaking to me many years ago, giving me experiences and the reality of the fact that He is getting ready to cause an “Army of Light” to arise in the earth. I do not know how long He has been talking to me about this, probably since ‘83 or ’84. But it has just been little drops here and there in my walk. But as of late has been, I would safely say, every other day that He has either visited me, spoken to me or sent an angel to come in and convey a message. He is still doing this because of the revelation that I am going to be sharing with you today. It is very important that the Body of Christ gets hold of this message, gets it into their heart, and that they begin responding to it. I think if we do not head in that direction really quickly, we are going to miss out on something awesome, incredible, majestic and powerful…on and on it goes. We are going to miss all that because we were not ready. So please, listen with that in mind.

 

Even now, the Lord is beginning to prepare a Body of people to become priests and kings of light.

1 Peter 1:17    And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.

1 Peter 1:23    Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the one Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.

1 Peter 2:9      But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

1 Peter 2:5      Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

 

Kings and priests of light—how does that look? How does that feel? It’s being a Christian, knowing the Lord wants to develop us until we virtually, literally become priests and kings of light. I can tell you that every time the Lord has come to me about this subject, He has personally demonstrated what it looks like, what it feels like and the power of it against the powers of darkness. And so I feel like, by in large, He has given me enough information to at least give the Church enough information to get started on working with Him for this reality.

 

So, 1 Peter 1:17, 1:23, 2:9 and 2:5 are all weaving in and out of each other to paint a better picture for us, to help us better understand what He is going to do and what He is looking to us to be willing to do. This idea of becoming a priest and a king of light, when you first hear it, just kind of goes right over your head because we have not really seen that kind of thing before. So how are we supposed to relate to it? If you remember, when Jesus took the Disciples up on the Mount of Transfiguration and He became transfigured before them, what He was showing in that transfiguration is the Church of the last days. That is exactly what this is all about—the transfiguration of you and me.

 

We also saw the transfiguration of Moses. Moses had already accomplished many things in God’s name. He delivered His people. He’d gone, spoken, guided, strengthened, fought, did many things that no one even knew that he needed to do, and when it was all over, what was left over was Moses, standing on the mountain with beams of light flashing from his face, all the way down to his feet. Now, how do I know that? Because Ricci and I had taken a team of people to Nigeria. We stopped at a hotel in London and waited for our plane to get us from London back to America. Several of the people that had come really wanted to see a bit of London and so they went out, but I stayed back because I really wanted to stay back.

 

After everyone had gone, I was sitting there praying in the room when suddenly Moses appeared to me. When I saw him, his face looked like a globe of light and there were flashes of light constantly breaking from that globe of light. These flashes were so big, they went up into the sky as high as you could imagine, to the right and to the left, and also it covered his entire body. That light was so holy that I was terrified, absolutely terrified. I did not know what to think. I did not know what to do. Here, I had had the Lord to help me understand this experience that Moses had. I somehow did not expect Moses to come here and teach me himself, but he did, and I have seen many things.

 

Whether the Church believes that this is going to happen or it does not, I can give you several passages that talk about that, where God does allow that to happen with his Church. He only tells us not to speak to the dead, which we would not want to do anyway, but He helps us understand that what he meant by that, which is those who die in their sins. Do not be calling them up. But when the person who is standing before you is from Heaven, it probably is a good idea to listen to what he has to say.

 

I told Moses, “I want to hear everything that you have to say…” (and I was trembling) but I said, “And I have to admit that I am just so terrified of you because of the holiness of God that is emanating from you. I do not know what to do with my right hand or my left.” So, in his mercy he began to speak to me, to tell me why he had come and that the experience that I was having with him right at that moment was something that had been ordained by God from the beginning of time. Now, when you know that is happening, and it has been waiting for its perfect timing all that many years, you know that it is very important and you know that you need to treat it with importance, honor and respect.

So here we have Moses. Now, if I were to put a name on him for the way that he walked, I would have to call him a “crucified one” because the crucified ones of these last days are going to be different variations of what I shared with you about Moses and about our Lord Jesus Christ. It may be that if you are a crucified one, then the only flash from your body will be from the palm of your hands. And that is wonderful! How much more is that going to be, than for the rest of the Church?

 

That is wonderful and it does speak of your submission to Him. You can only be crucified if you are dead, right? So, with that heart of submission that has been developed by the Lord, taking you to a literal crop to destroy the things of the sinful nature that is in every person (unless the Lord eradicates it) for some, it will be the flashing force of the light from your face, like Moses, like Stephen. For others, you may be clothed with what looks like the Shekinah, and this clothing wraps around you, this transparent clothing of light. Divine light.

 

Why are these kinds of things so very important? I do not know why the manifestation is important, but I do know that when He brings out the manifestation, if you are standing in front of people, they are going to pay attention when you are standing there with light beaming from you. And we are going to be going through this, and also days of great darkness, so you are going to immediately become someone that can lead them, someone that can guide them through darkness during this time. But I think there are also things about your human body, your soul, your spirit so that when these manifestations begin to take place, it is doing it from looking like light dancing from your person because it is doing something to your soul inside. Purifying. Redeeming. Enlarging, if you will.

 

My friends, this is extremely important and extremely wonderful at the same time. Priests and kings! If you are an intercessor, you undoubtedly have a fairly healthy kingship anointing on your life already. If you are an intercessor, you undoubtedly have some sort of priestly anointing on you, because every time we go to Jesus or go to the Father on behalf of anyone, anything, any situation, any nation, we are going in as a priest to the Most High God. What you see in the Old Covenant worship—of course there will not be any mutilating of animals—but the fact that they are robed as priests or they are robed as kings, this is still something that happens. The only thing is, that the robing that happens is highly seen on your body, it is on your soul. So your soul and your spirit are clothed with the garment, or the armor of light. This is part of what the Bible calls a better covenant.

 

Hebrews 7:22 In keeping with the oath’s greater strength and force, Jesus has become the Guarantee of a better, stronger agreement, a more excellent and advantageous covenant.

Hebrews 8:6   But as it is now, He, Christ, has acquired a priestly ministry, which is as much superior and more excellent than the old, as the covenant, the agreement of which He is the Mediator, the Arbitrator, Agent, is superior and more excellent because it is enacted and rests upon more important, sublimer, higher, and nobler promises.

 

Following this, the Bible tells us that the first Covenant had a defect; it was not capable of doing all that it needed to do. It keeps taking the believer to a place of perfection. But the Covenant of the Second House, which we are, is a better Covenant, because what the Priesthood is able to do through this Covenant will help the Church enter into maturity and enter into the purpose and the plan of God for these days, from the beginning of time.

 

The thing about special costumes or regalia or uniforms, whatever you would want to call it, seems like it would give you a sense of authority before the enemy and before others that are aware that you are bearing something like that. It will definitely give you authority before the throne. Of course, if you are giving to what He has worked in you, it is definitely better in that respect. But when the garment is on the inside so that not only the manifestation is kept under government, you might say, (unless there is a time that the Lord wants it to be seen) these garments are garments of such power, such authority, such beauty, so highly respected in the Heavenlies, that you will stand in awe, not at yourself, but at what God has done and is doing. So, we today are of a better Covenant, because what we are given and what we are bearing is so incredibly important that it had to be held for the wine of the last days. That is when it is really going to be needed, and that is when it is going to be really available to you if you have prepared yourself to receive it.

 

John 1:14 And the word, Christ, became flesh, human, incarnate and tabernacled, fixed his tent of flesh, lived awhile among us; and we actually saw His glory, his honor, his majesty, such glory as an only a begotten son receives from his father, full of grace, favor, loving-kindness and truth.

 

I could take that scripture and spend weeks teaching you on that because I have had visitations from the Lord where He has stayed here on Earth and showed me what that scripture means. I have also been taken to Heaven for more information. The words of that passage, I mean, they sound so unassuming. “Great, Jesus is the Son of God and He came full of grace and truth, that is great.” But, when you understand what it means when you are literally looking in the face of Heaven’s authority. And if you have been a person of wisdom, preparing yourself for the Last Days’ move of God, that same thing that governs authority that will be on Christ, will be on you.

 

Now I know that there are those of you that will say, “We’ve already got it.” No, we do not. But when we do, we are going to look like Jesus and there will be millions of Jesus all across the earth, people who have died to self that Christ may live in them. And in His moment of tabernacle with us, He is also going to endow us with Heaven’s authority. This is a beautiful time, my friends. It is beautiful and it is so important for us to keep in mind that we must take it seriously every day.

 

What are some of the things that He is going to have to do with us to help prepare us for what is coming?

 

Ephesians 2:19   Therefore, you are no longer outsiders, exiles, migrants and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens, but you now share citizenship with the saints, God’s own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself; and you belong to God’s own household.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any person is engrafted in Christ, the Messiah, he is a new creation, a new creature altogether; the old previous, moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

2 Corinthians 5:21: For our sake, He made Christ, virtually, to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him, we might become endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of the righteousness of God, what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness.

Colossians 3:1  If then you have been raised with Christ to a new life, thus sharing his resurrection from the dead, aim at and seek the rich, eternal treasures that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

 

Remember in the beginning, the last time we talked, I told you that the Bible helps us to understand that Christ came from above? We came from below in that we are creatures who were created out of Adam’s rib and before that, Adam, out of the dust of the earth. But Christ came from above. So what God is doing through the Church is knitting us together divinely as a new creation, one who sits in Heavenly places of the earth with Christ because of His Spirit in us and one who initially was from beneath.

 

Now what are some of the extraordinary benefits of it? Let me just try to help you understand. When I was living in Omaha, the Lord appeared to me and as we talked, some things had come up and I really needed some serious answers. He knew that, so He came to me and He shared with me the information that I would need to do what I had to do next. While He was doing this to me, this beautiful transparent-like cloth would rise up from Him, float through the air and come down on me. Every time that happened, I felt so clean. I felt like I had just taken a shower inside of myself. That happened many, many times and each time it happened, conversely, just the opposite would also happen. He would, as it were, call for my transparent sheet to rise up off of me, and though it was filled with darkness and corruption from me being a creature of the earth, He would call it forth and it would rise up out of me, float up through the air and come down on Him, and every time that happened, He would look so pleased.

 

So once that transitional occurrence had been going on for a while, the Lord began to explain to me that what was happening was the imputing of our sins unto Him, who knew no sin, but paid the price for our sin, and His righteousness with us, coming upon us to heal us of the sin in repentance. But once you enter into Union, it is no longer something that is like a transition that is going on all day. Once you enter into Union, His Spirit of righteousness covers you. When Heaven is looking at you, that robe of righteousness is a beautiful (and I have seen it), a brilliant white; it is like a robe of light and it keeps you covered at every moment until you go home to be with the Lord. That is what He told me, as He stood before me, explaining to me what was happening.

 

So God is getting ready to bring us forth to the Church. He is getting ready to bring us forward into something that only He can do.

 

God is getting ready to bring us forth to the Church. He is getting ready to bring us forward into something that only He can do. Consequently, we have to:

(1) Double yoke ourselves with Him.

(2) Learn to walk in purity.

(3) Learn to always tell the truth.

(4) Learn to walk in Divine love.

(5) Learn to just go through the Fruits of the Spirit.

 

WE WILL GIVE YOU A VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, BECAUSE, MY FRIENDS, TWO CANNOT WALK TOGETHER UNLESS THEY BE AGREED.

 

Our life and our soul must be one hundred percent submitted to Christ in all things. Now, that is not that easy because He is not going to come like a rough rider across the desert, to force men and women into that submission. That is just not the way He works, but He will give us all the grace that WE pray for and all the grace that we will need, to learn to submit, when to submit, how to submit. He will help us understand the endeavor so we can win the contest over our flesh.

 

So, now we are part of the new creation, a new nation, a new kind of being. Is that not incredible? People get saved and they often will wonder, Did anything really happen in me? And oh boy, did it ever! Immediately, you really did become a new person. He puts the seed in you. THE DIVINE SEED FROM THE TREE IN THE KINGDOM WILL GROW UNTIL IT OWNS THE WHOLE GARDEN.

 

1 Peter 1:3 says, “He has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness.” He has given us everything. That means we are a new person. We are not the same. We are no longer a person just from this lower plain. We are now persons that are inside, are knit together, making us a person from ABOVE and a person from the EARTH. What does that end result look like? JESUS—the beauty of Christ.

 

It does not matter what our hair color is, what our eye color is, what our skin color is! It does not matter if we are from Australia or China or Japan, Sweden, America, Canada! None of that matters! What matters is, inside, our soul has become something new. You now have the righteousness of Christ. You are clothed, or should I say, “His righteousness is imputed to you.” And when you have gone through the path of this reconstruction that is going to take place, your tree unfolds and grows and brings forth fruit.

 

The day will come when your sinful nature will no longer have dominion. It will not even know how to have dominion. (1) The sinful nature will be eradicated, because it is of no benefit at all.

(2) Your soul, your spirit, His Spirit—that is what He will leave inside of you and you will be a new person. It starts upon salvation and it grows, depending on how much you work with Him. It grows and grows, the reality of it grows and grows and becomes livelier and more perfect until it is time for you to go home. But remember, this is primarily about those who have given their life to Christ, now being dealt with by God to become this priest, king of light, bearing the armor of light!

 

Ephesians 6:13-18 Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day of danger, and, having done all the crisis demands, to stand firmly in your place. Stand therefore, hold your ground, having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God, And having shod your feet in preparation to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news of the Gospel of peace. Lift up over all the covering shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked one! And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God. Pray at all times, on every occasion, in every season in the Spirit, with all manner of prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding on behalf of all the saints, God’s consecrated people.

 

How beautiful, right? I can remember a time I was ministering in Oklahoma City. I was in prayer in my hotel room and an angel just suddenly popped in. He was clothed in military garments that looked just like in the days of Joan of Arc and yet, that military garment, from head to toe, was just radiant—flashing with light. He turned to me and said, “I have been sent to give you the Armor of God” and before he even asked for permission, he began to call out each piece of the armor. He did not say, “Come be upon Nita.” Nothing like that. He just named it and I could see it coming across the room and resting upon my head, resting upon wherever it needed to rest upon.

 

The whole garment was put into place by this angel. I noticed that it was heavy, not like a feather weight, as you would think. With it being a spiritual reality, it was heavy. It is like, if that armor is on and on properly, the enemy can give you a difficult time but he cannot take you down. When the angel was finished, I did not know what to say. I was overwhelmed. He just looked at me, nodded his head and was gone.

 

So when the Bible tells us to put on the armor, it is an armor of light, and it is very powerful. But what you further need with this, the angel explained to me before he started dressing me in it. “What we need to add to that is that we will walk in the virtues of Christ, because that armor is connected with those virtues.” So not only are you covered, but you become a different person, because the virtues of Christ begin to infiltrate, if you will, your whole being, until you become in the image of Christ. This is exciting!

 

I encourage you to look for this teaching on our website so that you can listen to it over and over and over again, so you can be prepared!

 

In Him,
