The First Deep Mystery (part II)
I am sorry it has taken me so long to post this. I have been busy with speaking and trying to get the next AWE TV program, “The Coming Perfect Storm,” ready for the January 5, viewing date. I have never done this type of thing before, however, what is coming to America and the World needs trumpeted. You will not want to miss this prophetic broadcast.

So some of you didn’t catch the hint of the deeper mystery. I’ll keep chipping away. But here is a dose of reality, without “eyes to see” you will read what is written and still not see it. Please read carefully and think about what you read. No, this is not a test, but it is training. So you live in parallel universes of The Tabernacle, The Throne Room and you.
YOU, THE EARTH, AND THE THRONE ROOM
So God is taking the earthly, wild, nature of you and subduing it – at the same time, you are subduing the wild, earthly nature of those outside the Garden. It is a slow process to be sure – and everlasting life is painful, but worth it. That is why it is called, “Taking up your cross.” It is also why patience is a virtue. The Tabernacle structure is more than cloth, skin, Gold, and brass; to those with “eyes to see” and “ears to hear,” the Tabernacle represents God Himself.
THE FIRST REAL MYSTERY OF THE ROOM OF MYSTERY
The Tabernacle was a structure designed by God. It was meant to help mankind draw close to and worship God. For man to worship God, man then needed to be in a place where nothing separated him from the God he worshiped. The Tabernacle was designed to remove that sin of separation. But, it had one more purpose and that was to help man know God. That is the crux of the deeper mystery – deeply knowing God.
The Rooms of Mystery, which is the Sanctuary, as well as the tent of the Tabernacle, is also known as the tent of meeting and the tent of witness. Those who made it here met with God and as a result came away from the experience full of His presence. It is here that the breath of God entered Moses and it is precisely why God said He talked with Moses “Face to Face” or literally translated, “Mouth to mouth.”
So what did God provide you to help you know Him? When we study the design of the tabernacle and we study the description of God, by the Apostle John.
THE DEEPER MYSTERY
When we read the description of God sitting on His Throne that the Apostle John wrote in Revelation 4 you will find John describes God as having two stones in him.
I have hinted at it, and alluded to it, but here is the First Deeper Mystery. The Tabernacle is the bosom of the Father and the rooms of mystery spiritually represent the two stones in the bosom of the father. Here, in these two rooms, you are learning to enter into Him – in the next room you will learn to let him enter into you. Jesus stated that He came forth from the bosom of the Father and when He went back the Father would send His Spirit which would also come forth from His bosom. So …. one of these rooms represent an aspect of Jesus and the other represents the Holy Spirit. In deeply knowing God you will know every aspect of every room. Again, it is more than knowing about Him - it is ‘knowing’ Him.
Yes, these two rooms are the two stones in the bosom of the Father. Here in this Tent, it is you in Him, discovering Him, and learning to know His ways. In the next Room it will become Him in you, revealing you to you. Selah
The Bible also calls this tent with two rooms, “The Tent of Meeting,” because here is where God made Himself known to mankind. It is from here that God sent His Son to meet with us. It is from this room that God sent His Spirit to dwell in us. The greatness of this place is that God wants you to know Him and it is in this Tent that the “knowing” begins, - the Mystery of this place is that you can be in Him and He in you all at the same time.
Blessings,
John Paul

I was praying a few weeks ago, and pouring out my troubles to the Lord, and I said, “Be my sanctuary, Lord. Just be my sanctuary.” He responded, “You be MINE.”
Wow.
Hi JPJ & others,
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. First, JPJ, I’ve read your bulletin several times and see it already happening with the recent scandals on Wall St, in politics, cold weather, etc. It’s almost like someone’s drunk and lurches and staggers into things and causes damage with what he hits.
Interestingly, I’ve been reading Revelation to my 3 sons, and tonight happened to be Chapter 4. As I read what you wrote about the stones, something opened up inside me, almost like my spirit was freed more and something was imparted to me. I know there’s something here for me.
Blessings to you JPJ this Christmas season, thank you for all you’ve done to help us grow, we love you man! Blessings to everyone who comes here this Christmas!

Dear John Paul:
I was in prayer early this morning praying with someone from New Zealand and in another instance asking the Lord what he wanted me to focus on and teach later today in this season of advent and He told me via the Holy Spirit to teach on the Lord preparing us to be a sanctuary, through the song that He sang into my spirit, ” Lord Prepare Me To Be A Sanctuary, Pure and Holy, Tried and True”.
The 2 Rooms/Stones:
John Paul this analogy/spiritual truth/absolute is new to me. It seems that you are providing the words and describing the reality of what is going on in my inner man. So, is it possible that in the inner man one can go back and forth between the two rooms. The more that I discover God and know His ways in the different circumstances of my life can He reveal “me to me” at the same time? Is there a going back and forth between us and the Lord regarding inner communication between the two rooms.
I was awake spiritually on the last blog posting but was not in the place to respond because I was still meditating on something that you had said during the “Dreams and Vision” conference in Detroit a few weeks ago on the internt, regarding how the Holy Spirit is the “Sperma” and our “Soul” is the egg to be fertilized” which i believe is a connection to these two rooms.
How profound is this revelation! This revelation brought me into another realm when I was meditating upon the word of God, from Luke 1&2 when the Lord had sent the angel Gabriel to announce to Mary that she was going to conceive a child by the power of the Holy Spirit and she was to have a son to be called , Immanuel “God With Us”. I believe that also meant “God within us”.
Since then, I had been meditating along with the food from this blog of when the Lord’s Holy Spirit was hovering over Mary and what was going on in the interior life of Mary as she experienced this encounter and furthermore how this relates to us in our walk as sanctuaries unto the Lord.
The mystery here for me is the internal dialogue between the two rooms of mystery and us or even more the two rooms of mystery and me in the tent of meeting. This still remains a mystery to me because in the past i have often times pondered just how God speaks to me and if He is living on the inside of me where is He living and where can I find Him. Now as a result of the revelations coming to you on this blog,I am left to learn about how He is dialoging with me and how under what conditions will He come to me….I may be asking too many questions but thats what happens in my brain just before I engage in the hot pursuit (lol).
I am going to take a couple of days over the christmas break to dialogue with Lord to understand what the Lord wants to show me regarding these rooms and furthermore what He wants to reveal to me her about me. After all of these years, i still do not know all there is about me that the Lord wants me to know about. Maybe i am the mystery waiting to be discovered in Him. I am laughing at myself because far too many people in my life times have been trying to define who they think that I am and I would often reply and say , don’t try to define who I am, just worry about yourself (lol, lol,lol, and ha, ha, ha). Man, God has an incredible sense of humor and you do too, John Paul!
Thank-you for this incredible Christmas gift. It’s very priceless! Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas!
In His Love, Mercy & Grace!

I just see God giving mouth to mouth to moses, giving him an infusion of life. hA! Mouth to Mouth rescusitation (spelling?) at its best!
And hopefully this won’t be inappropirate, but Also if God is having two stones, and Jesus and the holy spirit are those two stones symbolically, maybe when we are born again, then we are Gods children, he is ‘reproducing’ or ‘multiplying’ heaven in the earth through us..so is the two stones essentially where the creation of us being Gods sperm-seed fits into the whole picture?
I know many claim Jesus is male, the holy spirit is female, and all that, I personally beleive that gender doesn’t really play a part in all of it, but It would be interesting if those two stones he held were indeed to very rocks that cry our to praise God by multiplying heaven in the earth (of course scriptures mean the literal rocks of the earth..but i digress..)
God help us, but my favorite line is this “So you live in parallel universes of The Tabernacle, The Throne Room and you.”
hahah. that is SOOO the truth, and I find the trouble is understanding sometimes what is happening in ‘which universe’ as they all tend to blend together, and I am learning clarity..that brings cleAR Sight as to which manifestation is from which universe.
God is more fun than a barrel of monkies! Yipiiee!!! =)
Jesus rose from the table and spoke His final words to His friends: “I’ve told you all this, so that trusting Me, you will be unshakable and assured – deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But have confidence, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 The Message
I must be honest about the matter…It is possible that if I had never gotten to know streams and John Paul, I would probably never get to know anything of what is being said for close to a year now. To me it’s unique…I may have eventually gotten to the same place, but never the same way, and that to me makes a difference (big difference).
I want to thank you John Paul, you are a truly wonderful and a true gift of God, like Jesus. Have a Wonderful Christmas and a Mega New Year!
You are loved! God Bless!
John Paul:
This is in relation to my blog entry of December 23rd, 2008 @ 12:03 p.m.
I need to give further clarification on what “i meant regarding “incredible christmas gift”…..the gift is the revelation and clarification that you gave regarding the functions of the two rooms of mystery. I have to admit for a while you were loosing me and then came the clarity and light bulb. I write in metaphors many times especially when it comes to the things of the spirit as I am right brain dominant which is the reason that I am left handed. I hope this clarifies things in this post.

Dear John Paul, Merry Christmas to you, your family and all your staff there at the Streams Ministry (especially your moderator) - Feliz Navidad y Prospero Ano!!
Also to all you bloggers from around the globe …. Have a blessed Christmas and New Year, especially as we’re entering 2009 and into ‘the coming perfect storm’.
Loved the parallel universes of The Tabernacle, The Throne Room and us …. I’ve heard that this is the way in heaven too!
Blessings
This is very interesting. I believe that the ultimate is to be completely taken over by God. Would you say that there are times that God can completely take us over and flow through us in such a way, that there isn’t any of us in it? I have heard of people that receive a language and are able to preach the gospel in that language and they have no idea what they are saying, but the people that are listening do. That is all Spirit and none of man. That would be 100% God, right? Of course, this means that we have to be willing to lose control and let God take over. It also means that God gets all the Glory. Lord, would you take us over to do your will on Earth as it is in Heaven? For your Glory, let your Kingdom come. Not for us, but for you, Lord. For eternity.
Blessings
I know that I was probably going a little bit ahead of what you are saying in this post in my last response. I apologize for that. But, I can say that I have gone through a season of repentance that began the end of August. I was reading one of your posts that spoke about the blood of Jesus and after I finished reading it, I decided to go out to the store, but as I was thinking about what God has done for me, I was overwhelmed in my Spirit and could not stop crying. So, I turned around and went home. This continued for several months and I began to feel a deep gratitude for everything that God has done. So taking up our cross is dying to self. There is none righteous, no not one, all have fallen short of the Glory of God. We are not worthy, but because of what Jesus has done, we receive access to Heaven. I believe that when we have a deep revelation of what God has done for us, we surrender ourselves to his will. Salvation is not a one time experience, but it is continuous. All I know is that I want others to experience the presence of God and come to know him in an intimate way. I apologize if I am going off the topic. I don’t usually share this much, as I have always been more of a listener. When we receive from God, we want to give back in gratitude, all for him. I have not yet seen the fullness of the fruit of the Spirit, but I believe it is coming. So, it begins with the realization of seeing ourselves in comparison to God. We empty ourselves in preparation for the fullness of his Spirit to dwell. It’s more of God and less of us.
Blessings,
I have learned that there is a direct connection between our heart and God’s presence dwelling in us. These two rooms, perhaps they are two of the chambers of the heart of God.
I was introduced to reading JPJ by a brother at a bible study one morning (funny how many wonderful things begin at a chruch service,reading your WORD or at a bible study) and I have been reading ever since.The beautiful part is not that the reading started me on my journey but that it started explaining where the LORD had already taken me and where HE is taking me even as I type this comment.I realize now I was only able to truly start the journey when I quit wrestling with GOD as Jacob did and started reading the WORD. If we do not study to show ourselves approved just get used to the wilderness.GOD’s speed JPJ and I don’t think any accidents happen as far as being lead to the right people at the right time to read conformation as to our direction.
WOW, John Paul this is great… This year i finally truley Love the Lord with all my heart.. I breath him in my lungs , feel him in my skin. Truley truley Love him.. i have been a Christian for 9 years and Love the Lord But not like this, it is a veil lifited over my head. I have gone to higher level’s and see things I have never seen before. The Lord has truley blessed be in the last two years. I Love coffee talk, it goes to higher levels and that is what I need.
Thank you again John Paul and God Bless
Happy New Years everyone , may this New Year be very blessed…
Dear John Paul,
Happy New Year to you and your family! I hope you have had a blessed Christmas.
Just got back from visiting my family for Christmas in Spain, and read this post where you mention the broadcasting of the “Coming Perfect Storm”. I would love to hear more about this as I live in the UK and will be unable to watch or hear that prophetic word.
Is there a link, website or publication where I can access that material?
Thank you very much!
