The father’s manifesto of himself is his son. His son has articulated him to perfection. The Son said it is finished. Nothing else needs to be said. His life was the Fathers word broken down into mentally consumable bites called revelation. Here are some of His closing words to us said for our safety and security.
Our sanctification
Jesus Christ said father I pray not that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from evil.
Christ told Abraham the same thing saying “I am your Shield, your exceedingly great reward”. This defines our sanctification. This is what it means to be “in Christ”. We are shielded. We who have this are protected from evil by word. The same mind that said “let there be light” said “keep them from Evil” and God the Son in Word form went to Abraham and said “I am your Shield, your exceedingly great reward”. This is what Adam lost and departed from. This is part of the restoration. And if God is our Shield what can get past God? As though he has a blind spot? As though our Shield has holes in it?
This we have as long as we participate in our sanctification to become holy. And if we keep his word, He says He will come to us and make his home in US. For some of us he has already done that. We are equipped with him. WORD! We learn that we are complete in Him who is the “head of all principality and Power”. We are stamped with His certification of His Word and Spirit, “for even the angels in heaven behold the face of the Father in these little ones”. This is us. His offspring. We who are protected by his shield. We are in this place called sanctification.
Sanctification is easily understood in the words of Embassy and Ambassador. An embassy is like a little Island, a country within a country. Like when one goes to any Embassy to seek Refuge from the laws of that land. Christ is our refuge. He said “come unto me and i will give you rest”. This is seen in the promise given in the book of Luke “that we being delivered from the hands of our enemies and all that hate us, would be able to serve God all the days of our lives in true righteousness without fear”. Why? Because “He who fears has not been made perfect in love” because “perfect love casts out fear”.
We do not wait for another age for this to be accomplished. We ” work this out with fear and trembling” with Him who said “fear Me”! We believe His word for sanctification today. We are kept from evil in this way.
As with a defector, or a political dissident. The moment they entered the embassy they are immediately subject to the governing laws and powers of another land. They get asylum from that which was charged against them. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ”.This is our Embassy. Here we have amnesty. “He who believes in Me does not come into judgment but has passed from death to life”. They are no longer bound to the former laws and requirements. They have full amnesty and protection from what tormented them. They are free from the laws of the land. This is what we have. This is what divides between those born in Adam and those in Christ.
Paul said “Now that you have known God, or rather having been known by Him, why is it that you return the week and beggarly elements of the earth”? Meaning, now that you have received Gods invisible genetic code written on your circumcised heart, why do you subject yourself to the multiple time dispensed theories of another savior, another Jesus? The saving has happened for the sanctified.
Collisions 2 says “Let no one cheat you through philosophy or according to the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ”. Meaning Gods invisible nature and not the building blocks of creation. That we are a part of something much greater than the substance of time and matter being “flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone” not of Adams flesh and bones but Christ’s invisible substance.The invisible building blocks of the unseen substance we call eternity. The origin and object of our faith “while we look not to the seen but what is unseen, the invisible “for that which is visible is temporary but that which is invisible is eternal”.
So in this way we are now “fellow citezine and members and saints of the house hold of God”. We do not suscribe to a future kingdom and reigning king. We are in asylum and the safety of the kingdom of God which is “at hand” if we hold fast to His words.
This defines for us our sanctification. Christ said “Father I pray not that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from evil”. That we are “in the world but not of the world”. We are not restricted to the things of EMC= square. So we are kept from evil, us who are born of God. As it says in 1st John that “we abide in His Word and the wicked one touches us not”. And those of us who know how to apply this principle “can go boldly to the throne room of Grace” for any purpose anytime we want and have not only a asylum but our citezineship.
This place is not a throne room of Grace in a physical place, the one not built by hands of man but ” built by God Eternal in the heavens”. This is our Embassy. A safe place in any land. This is our sanctification. This is our provision from the father. As Christ prayed “keep them from evil” so he does. If we don’t know this principle we cannot apply it consistently. Or we can know it and walk away from it by not walking in the light of the revelation that the spirit is showing us. We get into trouble and not believe His word. We try to cover ourselves.
“Satan is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour experienced by our Brotherhood in the world” is the believers in the world that have left the embassy and set aside their Ambassadorship, their sanctification, and subject themselves to the things they were delivered from. In their own mind and their own will they violated their own sanctification. They stepped away from the provisions and protection afforded to us by word. And there are many that have not learned correctly to walk in sanctification. They don’t know how to apply faith sanctify themselves from their fallen entanglements and disbelieve the promises.
We are are to “follow those who through faith and patience inherit the promises”. The Lord who “delayed not His coming” comes to us even now by revelation “that where He is we may be also” as Christ prayed. We “walk in the light as He is light” “for in Him is no darkness at all”. And “in Him there is no sin, he who sins has neither seen Him or known Him”, but we know Him. And as Christ told Thomas “he who has seen me has seen the Father. From now on you have seen Him and known Him. If we are “in Christ” as scripture says, we are in this place of sanctification. In this way we know God.
Sometimes the devil can be our own reflection in the mirror of self-condemnation. He is the persona that is the the contrast of God that brings condemnation in contrast of the righteousness afforded by faith and the blood of Christ. Scripture shows us when Jesus Christ rebuke Satan in Peter saying “get behind me” which is where he should be for us. The Roaring Lion in this way becomes a toothless roadkill. There’s no condemnation and in this way the accuser of the Brethren is cast down. By word.
When the disciples returned to Jesus from their mission of delivering the gospel that “the Kingdom of God is at hand” they said for “even demons are subject to us in your name”. To this Christ replied I beheld as Satan fell from heaven like lightning. In this way transformation had taken place in the heavens of their mind. In the twinkling of an eye the accuser of the brother was put under foot as incompetent, lifeless.
We are instructed to put on the shield of Faith which is able to quench all, I repeat, all the fiery darts of the wicked one. This is how we do it. This appropriately places your sinful nature at the cross and not on your self for “by his stripes we are healed”. Only the old man can walk in self-condemnation and inflict upon himself the accusations of another. Why? Because there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not according to the flesh but according to the spirit. And what is the spirit? God’s opinion of you who believe. He is the “come unto me and I will give you rest from your toil”.
There is resident in religion today the idea that Christians need it in receive blame and false humility and make good on things sound reason says we need to make bridges for relationships to be rebuilt we are not to accept the wrong to prolong a bad relationship on him was laid the sin of us all and if we walk in sin and condemnation we reject the gift the Lord said Peace I give you not as the world gives give are you oh the joy and the peace in the blessedness of the justification of God blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute any sin blessed are those whose Lawless Deeds are covered up this is the righteousness of faith in the gift of God in Christ this is not giving us permission to do wrong but empowering us to be right
You see Satan knows that if he can keep you in condemnation and false humility, the continual confessing of sin, that he can keep you at the foot of the cross. He can keep you in your lower nature, and he can keep all false religions alive.
It is said of our great high priest that “once we are purged we should have no more conscience of sins”. That we should no longer have a sinful conscious. This is what it means when 1st John says young men you have overcome the wicked one because the word of God abides in you. This is what it means. And those of the House of Moses who were instructed to look into the pole with the serpent wrapped around it, that this would make them whole thus signifying the Christ of the cross who bore our sins for us to be whole.
If you have committed a crime or a wrongdoing or damage to another person or his Goods you should repair for such as the law of the land but the things we speak are the laws of the mind and of the spirit. The kingdom of God is not in what you eat or what you wear but in righteousness peace and joy of the Holy Spirit. This we have in our sanctification the place behind the vail being shielded with faith to ward off the darts. This is peace with God this is acceptable to God.
Our justification becomes the building blocks for our sanctification this is the purpose of the book of Nehemiah to rebuild the wall around the city and that is why Tobias and Sanballat blamed and accused and ridiculed and took on the voice of the enemy for them to hasten to build the wall.
When the accuser of the Brethren is cast down, addictive patterns stop. You are no longer motivated in this way. Accusation and condemnation is powerless. For all the time, money and visits to the doctor for mental conditions, they can be cured by this one thing.
1 John 5.4 This is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith”.
Our faith in His word contains all the tools we need for victory anytime, anywhere, if we are “in Christ”. This is our Embassy. He is our Embassy. This is our sanctification, our shield, our exceedingly great reward”.
The Kingdom of God is at hand.
