WHERE ARE YOU???
Where are you? This may seem like a strange question, but, you may not be where you think you are, and may not be where you could be, if you are not aware of where you can be. We can be like one who has inherited a castle and a throne, but do not realize it.
LET'S TAKE A JOURNEY!
I am inviting you to take a little journey, a little trip, a little trek with me from where you are, to where God wants us to be, to go. Take my hand. Arise from where you are, and let's go. How far can the Lord God take us, in 20 minutes? In this case it does not depend on how fast we go, but on how smart, how wise we go. Let's be wise, and go there now.
I WANT GOD TO SCOLD ME!
When I stand before Christ, the Judge of all the Universe, the Creator King of Everything, I have been wanting and planning and intending that God criticize me and scold me for something. I want God to scold me before the innumerable crowd of people, before the Throne, out of every tongue, kindred, tribe and nation, for believing God for too much, too soon.
The Bible promises in 2 Cor 9:8, that “God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” (NIV) The Amplified Bible says, “ - - infinitely, and abundantly above and beyond our highest thoughts, hopes, prayers, or dreams!” We worship and serve a God that created the Universe, and everything it contains, from the largest families of galaxies, to the smallest protons, electrons, neutrons, quarks and neutrinos. I want to be the kind of person who asks large, believes big, hopes, and dreams greatly from God. I want to live on tiptoe, with keen anticipation, and with great expectation. There is such a thing as a “visionary”. A visionary is one who sees clearly, that which is not visible to very many other people. This kind of person is not content to live with unfulfilled promise, unactualized potential, the unrealized dream, but has a loving relationship with the God of the Impossible, lovingly but consistently and respectfully insisting that God fulfill His promises, and beyond.
For example, when our 4 children were teen-agers, and smaller, I asked God, if He would take our family, Mary Poppins' style, through the sky, on a two week vacation tour of the Universe!!! One problem with this kind of vacation, is, that it would be difficult to try to tell others, when they asked, “How was your trip?”! And, I sincerely congratulate you, yourself, if you are wondering if the Lord ever took us on that trip!
The fact is, I would like to take you with me on a trip that God took us on, that took us even higher and farther than the one I just mentioned.
After one has learned the truths about “The King's Greatest Secret!”, the next greatest truth one needs to learn and have, as part of his or her walk with God, is what we refer to as "The Throne-Room Mentality". Here's what we mean:
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
The Bible, in 2 Cor.4:18, points out that the things that are not seen are more real and eternal than the things that are seen, which are temporary, or passing. Elisha, in 2 Kings 6:17 prayed that Yahweh would open the servant's eyes, when the servant could see the problems surrounding them, but could not see the warring angels of God which comprised a greater army than the bad army. So, God opened the young man's eyes to that which was more important, to that "unseen realm" of the real - the Spirit realm, and the realm of the eternal. Just so, our own eyes need to be open to another world that is real, the realm of the Spirit, the realm of the eternal. The Bible says in 1 Kings 17:1, and in 18:15 that Elijah stood (and stayed) before God!
When the Bible tells us that something is real and true, then we need to believe and receive and act as though it is really real. "Faith is the --- evidence of things not seen!" Heb.11:1
In Ephesians chapter 1:20ff, we are clearly told, and believe, that Jesus:
1. Was quickened
2. Was raised
3. Was seated at the right hand of the Father God, far above all things, on the Throne with the Father.
Eph 1:20 “Which He (God the Father) brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. 22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the Church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all.” (NAS)
Illustrated Sermon
Sometimes when I preach here and in other countries, I obtain the local pastor's permission to borrow his biggest, most impressive religious chair that the most important dignitary sits in on the platform. I bring it forward to stage center, and place it side-ways to the audience. Then, I ask for a volunteer of a Father-God-looking gentleman from the audience, with a white beard, (or whatever), to play the part of the Heavenly Father. Then I ask for someone, perhaps his wife, to play the part of Jesus. I have her sit in a prominent part of the room, and pretend that she is dead in the tomb. Then I have the person who is playing the part of Father God, act out the raising of Jesus from the dead, from the grave, to the skies, and invite Jesus to come and sit in another large seat, at the right hand of the Father, in the Throne Room. I place this chair next to the Father's chair, but facing the opposite direction, at the right hand of the Father. I will tell you why the opposite direction in a moment.
Then I tell the people that something is missing. I direct their attention to chapter 2 of Ephesians to the part where it plainly tells us that we were also:
1. Quickened together with Christ
2. Raised together with Christ, and that we were:
3. Seated together with Christ, at the Father's right hand, in the Throne-Room of the Father, far over and above every thing that is named, in heaven or on earth.
Eph 2:5 “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” (KJV)
Colossians 3 also speaks of this: Col 3:1 “If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. 3 For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, Who IS our Life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.” (NAS)
Other places in the Bible also speak of this.
Job 36:7 “He does not take His eyes off the righteous; He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.” (NIV)
One of the most beloved Psalms is Psalm 91 that tells us: He (or she) that dwells (lives) in the Secret Place of the Most High, shall abide (continually live) under the Shadow of the Almighty."
Ps 91:1 “He (or she) who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to (YAHWEH) the LORD, ‘My Refuge and my Fortress, My God, in Whom I trust!’
(Father God)

Throne of God, Throne-Room
This Psalm goes on to talk about the fact that we are to continually live under our Heavenly Daddy Yahweh's chest feathers, under His wings!!!!!!! Verse 4: “He will cover you with His pinions (feathers), and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.”
Verse 9: “For you have made (Yahweh), the LORD, my Refuge, even the Most High, your Dwelling Place.”
So, to continue with our stage presentation, I have "Ms. Jesus", who is sitting beside the Father, to go back down into the audience and find a child who will co-operate, a small child, perhaps her own. Together they act as though they are dead, in the front row, or someplace where people can see them. Then, I have the Father get up from His Throne, go to where they are, and raise them from the dead. Jesus and we, are being quickened, or, raised from the dead, together, raised from the grave together, ascending to the Father, together, and, finally seated at the right hand of the Father, together, on the Throne.
The Bible repeatedly speaks of our Union with Jesus, with the Father, with the Holy Spirit, He in us, and us in Him. “Seated with Christ INNNNNN God!!!” Col.3.
We saw, in The King's Greatest Secret!, how we went with Jesus into His crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection. Now, we see how we continued, in our identification with Him, in His quickening, being raised, ascended and in His being seated at the Right Hand of the Father, in Jesus!!!!!!!
Back to stage center, I then explain the reason that I have the chairs placed side by side, but facing toward each other, comes from those Scriptures that talk about our being seated at Heavenly Papa's right hand, and from those Scriptures that talk about Him being seated at our right hand. Psalm 16:8 "I have set Yahweh always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." But see also verse 11: "Thou wilt show me the paths of life. In Thy Presence is fullness of joy, at Thy right hand, there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 63:8 (NIV) says, "My soul clings to You, Your right hand upholds me."
My FATHER’S Lap
Seated on my Heavenly Father’s lap.
What could be better than this?!
Whether working very hard, or taking a nap.
This glorious thought fills me with bliss.
Far above each principality and power,
Every moment, and every hour,
Blessing comes most greatly from this heavenly rest,
Resting my ear against God’s chest.
There is no greater way I could be more blest -
Nesting in God’s arms, by His love caressed.
All harm and alarm far below this Eagle’s nest.
My other ear against His lips is pressed.
Listening to His words of endearment fine,
God’s most loving words and thoughts are surely mine.
He tells me that He loves me, line upon line.
My most productive work is when on Him I recline.
In this Throne Room of God is where I belong.
Under the shadow of His wings, I will sing my song.
My total helplessness in God, makes me the most strong.
When I’m loving Him so much I can do no wrong.
I want to always worship Thee, Lord, in Spirit and in truth,
For all eternity to old age, from youth.
I love You, Papa Yahweh, with all of my heart,
To love and trust and obey to the finish from the start.
To rest and be caressed on Papa’s chest is best, is most blest! No jest!
9 February 1999, by John Roy Bohlen
Dear one, look at the intimacy, if you are seated IN Christ, at the right hand of the Father, and, if the Father is at your right hand. On the platform, is seated a man, representing the Father, his wife, representing Jesus, seated facing him at his right hand, with him at her right hand, and with a child representing us, seated on her lap, between them, with his right arm and ear, pressed against the chest of the Father. At this point, I have them tenderly embrace each other, with the child in between, embracing and being embraced.

(All else, problems, the devil, etc., are far, far, far below!)
I stand back and point to them, and explain to the audience: "This is how you are to see yourself in relation to the Heavenly Father, all of the time!!!!!!! - in times of need, times of temptation, times of weariness, of financial need, when you are sick, when you are lonely, when you go to sleep, and as you go through the day - We are to have this 'Throne Room Mentality', all of the time, all the time, all the time, all the time.!!!!!!!"
OHHHHH HEAVENLY FATHER
John Roy Bohlen - September 1, 1999
Oooh, Dear Heavenly Father,
I am crying out to You.
At times life gets so confusing that
I don’t know what to do.
When the finances are short -
When there comes a bad report -
When the enemy makes sport -
When the best of plans abort -
When the problems I can’t sort -
When I need a strong support -
Oh, Dear Heavenly Father - - - -.
I will praise You at such a time.
When there seems no reason nor rhyme.
On my Heavenly Daddy’s lap I will climb.
Rest my ear on Your chest sublime,
There is nothing that I know to do
But to trustingly look up to You.
Chose to trust that Your promise is true.
Try to see from Your point of view
Cleave close to You all the day through
Rejoice that each moment is new.
There’s an agony deep in my soul,
Showing Your glory, this is my goal,
Tell Your story from pole to pole,
Helping Thee, help Your Bride be made whole.
Daddy, , Oh Daddy, Daddy.
Papa, . Oh Papa Dear.
Abba, , Oh Abba Yahweh,
Pleeeeeeeeeease, let Your Glory appear.
I would not flee away into sleep.
My yearning’s so strong, I could weep.
The need in my heart is so deep,
Sometimes the road seems soooo steep.
I’m trusting Your promise You’ll keep.
Now, into Your Throne-Room I’ll creep.
Into Your long strong arms I will leap,
I am trusting You, trusting You, trusting You, trrrr-
I am praising You, praising You, praising You, prrrr-
I am cleaving, clinging, clapping, cuddlinnng,
I am singing, shouting, trusting, snugglinnnng -
One time, Karen and I were traveling on a ministry trip together in our van. As we traveled through the night, we both became too tired to continue on our journey, so we decided to sleep in the back of the van. The only problem was that it was about 17 degrees below zero. In other words, it was very very cold outside! But we had with us a huge down king size comforter, filled with feathers. We snuggled together under this large feather comforter, and slept comfortably. The only problem was that Karen kept waking up to check to see if she was cold! But she was warm and comfortable. And God wants us to be comfortable under His wings, under His feathers, all the time, all the time, all the time.
Here’s a poem I wrote:
THE DARLING DOWN COMFORTER
My wife gave a gift that was meant to uplift,
To herself and each of the offspring,
A large fluffy blanket for weather
Fully filled with many a fine feather,
Gently gathered from under bird's wing,
I’m so cozy, I laugh and I sing!
I don’t worry about anything.
Can you imagine the feeling, peeking up at the ceiling,
Cold outside, but in bed, covered nose to toes?
Snuggled down ‘neath the down of a goose that God chose.
Ps 91:4 “He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
Some times I will take with me, to the teaching, one of these king-size comforters, "The Comforter has come", as the song says about the Holy Spirit, our heavenly Comforter". But, sometimes, in our demonstration, we will find one child after another who is afraid, or who is otherwise unwilling to co-operate with us in our little play demonstration. We continue until we find one who is willing. So, Jesus said, "How often I would have gathered your children, as a mother hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing." Mt.23:37 & Lk.13:34
I have the audience point at stage center and proclaim, “This is where I live.” (Repeat, after me.) “This is my address.” “This is my new home.” “This is where I stay” - “never to leave, never to roam.”
YOUR HEART - OUR HOME!
by John Roy Bohlen - February. 1998
I love You Papa Yahweh, with all my heart.
With all my soul, with every part.
My heart pours out strong love for Thee
My thanks pours out, eternally.
Your flow of grace enables me,
To follow strongly after Thee.
To yearn for Thee quite earnestly.
I'm basking in Your Presence now,
This sweet tranquillity makes me bow.
We live far over everything,
We reign serene here with our King.
This is our home, we need not leave,
But ever close, to Thee we cleave.
Not, "Help us live", but, "Be our Life!"
Oh, live through us, there is no strife.
Speak through our lips, bless through our hands.
Walk through our feet, through many lands.
We're listening to Your heart beat,
Upon Your lap we take our seat.
Never to leave here, never to roam
Snuggling close, Your arms are our home.
Beneath Your wings I take my place,
Beneath Your feathers, I find grace.
Within Your Shadow, You Most High,
We never need to say "Good bye."
A poem to the Father by John. Title: Your Heart - Our Home!
“He (or she) that dwells (lives) in the Secret Place” “of the Most High”, “shall abide” (continually live) “under the Shadow” “of the Almighty”. - - He will cover you with His feathers,” “Undah ‘Ees feadahs” and “under His wings” you will find refuge - -" “Underneath are the everlasting arms.” I encourage the people to always see themselves here on their Heavenly Papa’s lap, with their ear against the heart of God, listening to His heart-beat, with their other ear against His lips to receive His kiss, or words of encouragement, guidance, endearment.” The people repeat, a combination of these things, over and over, until, gradually, or suddenly, the light begins to dawn, and they begin to see themselves as living within the circle of our Heavenly Father’s Arms.
The border crossings in Nigeria can be very tumultuous, very harrying. Early in 1999, Joshua and I were coming home from a very busy ministry trip to Nigeria. We went to the Lagos airport to check through immigration and hoped to board the plane for home. As we approached the ticket counter, we noticed that every single item, in every single bag, of every single passenger was being checked. The uniformed lady in charge of searching the bags demanded of Joshua, “What do you have in the bags?” Joshua smiled very sweetly and said a quiet and gentle, “Hello.” The immigration officer then looked over at me with recognition. She then told us the story of how, a number of years previously, in a far distant town, she had been present in a church on a Sunday morning when I presented this “Throne-Room Mentality”. She exclaimed how she had wept with tears of joy at this revelation, and that she had lived in the strength and light of this revelation those 5 years since. She came out from behind the counter to embrace us, and through our tears of joy, had a time of intimate and sweet fellowship, while the customs officials and ticket takers and passengers looked on with wonder. Needless to say, none of our bags was searched!
Beloved, THIS is where God wants us to live, this is where God wants us to stay. We are ever, always to live and move and have our being IN Him. This is what we mean by our constant need to have a "Throne Room Mentality". We are to live with this picture ever in our hearts and minds and our spirits. This is to be our perspective, our "modus operandi", our way of life. We are to live here always, never ever to depart, with Christ AS our life. Amen.
SMILE OF PLEASURE
There's a yearning in my heart for the Father,
There is nothing I can think of that I'd rather
I'm so hungry for You, Lord, this feeling must not be ignored
'Neath Your wings, 'Neath Your feathers, me, You gather.
Just to sit upon Your lap,
To be awake, or take a nap,
For Your heart-beat I will listen,
With Your glory I will glisten.
Your whispers of endearment, fine,
Your nod of approval, mine.
A gentle hug from you, and then,
To get another hug from You again!
Wouldn't that be great, to think as You think?
To do Your will, quick as a wink?
To know Your heart, to please You well,
To speak Your Word, Your message tell.
To go through the land,
Keep Your every command,
To say what You've planned,
Do Love's every demand.
Oh Father, Your approval, is what I desire,
To think of pleasing you, fills me with fire.
To measure up to Your stern measure,
Your smile of pleasure, this I treasure.
Oh gracious Daddy, Let me please Thee, ever and eternally.
Amen.
John Roy Bohlen - January 21, 1997
Psalm fifteen asks, and answers the question: “O LORD Yahweh, who may abide in Thy tent? Who may dwell on Thy holy hill?” (NAS)
Jesus talks to us about the life and death importance and necessity of our abiding IN HIM! John 15:4 “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. 9 Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” (NAS)
LIVE THROUGH US!
by john roy bohlen & John 5:30
To have You live through us, Oh what delight!
To shine with Your Glory, Oh what a sight!
To move in Your power, channels of Your might!
Everyone who is willing, You lovingly invite.
To have You bless through our hands, You walk through our feet.
To have You speak through our lips to all that we meet.
Residing in You, our life is complete.
Abiding in You, nothing could be more sweet.
Enjoying Your greatness, in all that we do.
Enjoying Your sweetness, all our lives through.
Our home is Your Presence, this is so true.
Not a stitch of the old life, every thing new.
The Throne-Room perspective - Wow! What a view!
Whew! More fun than the zoo!
All who are willing, to Your bosom drew.
God’s arms are out stretched, there’s room for you, too.
(See the poem “Secret Poem”)
Here are some additional Scriptures:
I Jn 2:23 “Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.” (NAS)
I Jn 2:27 “And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. 28 And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.”
(NAS)
I Jn 4:12 “No one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.
13 By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 By this, love is perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.” (NAS)
II Jn 1:9 “Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.” (NAS)
Ps 125:1 “Those who trust in Yahweh (the Lord) are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Yahweh (the Lord) surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.” (NAS)
John 14:16 “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you.” (NAS)
John 14:23 “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our abode with him.” (NAS)
I Jn 3:5 “And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.” (NAS)
I Jn 3:22 “Whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His commandment, that we believe in the Name of His Son, Jesus Yahshua Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. 24 And the one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And we know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit Whom He has given us.” (NAS)
Deut 33:12 "May the beloved of Yahweh dwell in security by Him, Who shields him all the day, and he dwells between His shoulders." (NAS)
Ps 16:1 “Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in Thee. 2 I said to Yahweh, ‘Thou art my Lord; I have no good besides Thee.’ ” Then, in verse 8 “I have set Yahweh continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” And, in verse 11 “Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; in Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Thy right hand there are pleasures forever.” (NAS) Do you want more pleasure? Would you like to have more joy? This is where you find it!
Ps 27:4 “One thing I have asked from Yahweh, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Yahweh, and to meditate in His temple. 5 For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.” (NAS)
Ps 61:3 “For Thou hast been a Refuge for me, a Tower of strength against the enemy. 4 Let me dwell in Thy Tent forever; let me take refuge in the shelter of Thy wings. Selah.” [Think thoughtfully about this!] (NAS)
Ps 140:13 “Surely the righteous will give thanks to Thy Name; the upright will dwell in Thy presence.” (NAS)
Isa 57:15 “For thus says the high and exalted One Who lives forever, Whose Name is Holy, ‘I dwell on a high and holy place, and also with the contrite and lowly of spirit in order to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.” (NAS)
Eph 3:16 “That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man; 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God [that is, may have the richest measure of the Divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself] - (AMP). 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (NAS)
SNUGGLE DOWN IN THE DOWN
8 july 2004
In Psalm 91 there is told a story
How we can bask in the midst of God’s glory
Seated on our Heavenly Father’s Lap
When we are awake or when taking a nap
Snuggle down in the down of God’s feathers,
Sing under the wing of God’s arm
To His heart beat, listen -
With His glory glisten -
Snuggle - - don’t struggle - -
Listen - - then glisten - -
Hear - - don’t fear - -
Cheer - - don’t tear - -
He’s near - - cauz He’s here ! !
Underneath are God’s Arms
Away from harm and alarm
Here with Father we can sit on His seat
Listening closely to His lovely Heart beat.
He whispers in my other ear, words of love.
His whiskers are near, not too far above
I snuggle down deeply in the folds of His robe
And right within reach, I can touch His ear lobe
His downy feathers so, mmm -
I snuggle so, mmm -
Here beneath His wings, mmm -
My heart soars and sings, mmm -
Everything else is far below,
I’m in the Heavenlies, high as I can go!
Come and stay with me,
Here on Papa Yahweh’s knee
We’ll be as happy as can be
We can stay here eternally
See what Daddy Yahweh has in store
It’l be pleasures for ever more.
PSALM 16, 91, EPHESIANS 1 & 2
THRONE ROOM PERSPECTIVE
