We are Complete in Him part 1

Posted on July 27, 2018 by ADMIN

This is post 21 of 44 in the series “For The Elect”

“We are complete in Him who is head over all powers and principalities”. There is nothing else, and no one else who completes us. You can fortify yourself against the objects of your fears, but they are still there. There is only one true consolation. The fear of dying is the enemy. Fear is the poison that kills spiritual growth. Death is not so much a one time event of being dead, but a life driven by fear, that causes one to be dead to the provisions from God, gifted to us by His promises in His Son, to be truly free from all fears because “he who fears has not been made perfect in love because fear involves torment”. That’s the fruit given to those who reject Gods covenental provisions. So they turn to the world for comfort and forget the One who is in control.

We see the effects of fear in the parable of the unjust steward who collected funds from his employers accounts to protect himself against joblessness homelessness and fortify his retirement. He said “⁴I have resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses”. He was afraid to be without so He created a back-up plan, a retirement plan. This is the product of self-consciousness. We see a brick wall and we don’t know what is on the other side so we protect ourselves against this fear. “He who seeks to save his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for Christ sake will save it”. This is what we are talking about. When you run to the end of your account avigo it is expired. However we can never deplete the resources of the almighty God who said “let there be light” and immediate it appeared without resistance.

There are many who pursue to save the planet and are ignorant of Him who can recreate this with the same simple words. They spend their time and their estimation doing whst they think is good when the good that they do is ignorance of him who did it all.

Romans 1 says of these people ²⁵who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Creation serves the creator just fine even now by mirroring to humans the conditions of their hearts.

“If you understand Gods never ending love, and his inexhaustible resources, you can relax your grip on this age and fall into the hands of the almighty God who eagerly awaits you to do so. God said “I will never leave you or forsake you”. But some just cannot have solace in that. So they depart to look for another. This is spiritual adultery that causes blindness to Him who is “at hand”.

So speaking of the wise steward”For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.⁹“And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous^[d]mammon, that when^[e]you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home.”

Fear is the abscence of faith. Your faith has trade in value. But you must let go of your fears to recieve the exchange. If you truly trust God, you don’t need a dependance on a back-up plan. He who said “I will never leave you or forsake you” need not come back in the flesh a second time as a man to fulfill His Word in us. We are complete in Him, if you can receive it. The price was paid at the cross to reverse the curse and undo the fear based mind that started with Adam who said to the Lord “I heard your voice and was afraid”. God knew this would happen. Adam tried to cover it with a fig leaf, and people today are covering themselves with all kinds of things. But the words of job was, Naked I came naked I go, blessed be the name of the Lord.

The truth is God sees through all of our fig leaves and coverings anyway. For the word of the Lord is sharp and Powerful sharper than any two-edged sword dividing even bone and Marrow joints and ligaments it is a discerner of the thoughts of the intent of the heart. Then there is nothing hidden from the site with him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:12.

You cannot be afraid and trusting God at the same time. Consider the old women who donated her two mites, or in our culture, pennies. That was all she physically had, but for us the elect? She truly trusted in God and was spoken of for our guidepost. Not that God is asking us to live without money, but not to put too much trust in the uncertainty of riches.

The day we have the most money, in the day we have none should be equally joyous. Like the Widow with the two mites, she knew that the greatest joy comes Not from without but from within. Just as it said it’s in the book of James That every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights in whom there is no variableness nor shadow of turning.

Christ “has delivered us who all our lifetimes had been subject to the fear of death”. We fear no more. And this fear of death is not a one-time dying but the continual dying and losing of self and the things we seem important. Do not be deceived we will all lose this body we eroniously call ourself and all its physical attachments. Every promise and provision from the god of this age will fail. You cannot stay here. You will lose that self by degree one death at a time. Or you will grow in the Spirit by degree one revelation at a time. And it is Gods word that is our food for our transformation. That we may participation of the things the God. It is the god of this age competes with the things of “hath God really said?” For our intellect to challeng. And if God said it, repeat it over and over until you get it. This is your struggle. It must become you.

Every time we come to this point in our inner dialogue where fear reminds us of our frailties, it is here that we can grab a hold of something Eternal by faith, or turn in fear and fortify the thing that’s dying.

Everything that we do for health care and for retirement to fortify our position here are provisions for the God of this age.

James says “5 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!²Your riches ^[a]are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. ³Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire”. Who knows my friend if you will be around to spend your retirement. It my temporarily give you peace of mind, but that might be all you get. We are instructed to store up things not on Earth where moth and rust in thieves steal, but the store up our Treasures in heaven.

For the Elect? “We have a more enduring inheritance in heaven”. He who loves the world, the love of the father is not in him. We put on the things that God has given us we see in His Son.

So when the scriptures say that “Christ came to deliver us from the subjection of the fear death? We put this on. This is how we appropriate this. At that moment of fear, we step on that fear and replace it with faith. We reiterate the promise that we have a more enduring inheritance in heaven.

If this more enduring inheritance was only something to be experienced later, then it would be harder to hold out for. But because Christ has suffered at the cross for us, having taken away all the criticisms and condemnations aimed at us from the law, he shows for us here that because the payment is rendered in full, the gift is activated. Gods Word has no time lapse. For this very reason not only does the fullness of the godhead body dwell in him, but we are complete in him who is the head over all principality and power. Meaning we are not waiting for something to come later. We are not exchanging one physical element for another physical. No these things are sewn corruptible raised Incorruptible in the spirit of our mind, which is the place of our new existence. “That which is flesh is flesh, that which is spirit is spirit. You must be born again. This is how that happens.

And as we’ve spoken many times before that the heavens that are carnally known as being filled with stars and galaxies, is not as large as the expanse of our mind which grows bigger and bigger by the expansion of the Holy Spirit. And even as a worm cannot understand the life and flight of a butterfly, so then those who are driven by fear and controlled by fear and fortify themselves from that fear, cannot know or understand the life in flight of those who were born of the spirit.

Christ said “⁷Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ ⁸The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Such are we. We are not fortified here of the promises of the God of this age for the supplements of this age, oh no. Every time we have a fear, we offer up to God his Son, the only sacrifice that is acceptable to Him. His son is Word. He was the word broken down forethe promises of God in Scripture to find root in the linings of your heart and soul.

When the fear comes you offered that promise to God showing you are the sons of God. In this way we are shown to follow the spirit of God and confirm our identity as his children. He came to deliver those who are all their lifetime subject to the fear and the fear of death, we no longer fear those things. We no longer spend our times or fortifying our self against the inevitability that we will lose our external self. Even now we participate in the richness of our inheritance of the things of God.

So if we lose ourselves in Christ, we gain everything Eternal. For what profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul? Nothing

It is those who have gained everything of this age that have nothing in the other. It is those of us who have no realiance in this age that have everything in the other age now. Just as Christ was seen by some as a peasant on a donkey riding up to Jerusalem, but He was filled with the fullness of the Godhead.

It is we who are walking incognito, have Gods things that the glory and the essence we participate in may be of God and not of ourselves. Even as scripture instructs “since you have put off the old man with his deeds, ¹⁰and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, ¹¹where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised”. We are renewed in knowledge to be just like Christ in our understanding. Don’t let the peasant fool you.

We have traded physical things for invisible things and only those of us who are Spirit born again can master this.

For those who are looking for a physical mastery? It doesn’t happen. So many would say to us as well, who are you? And our answer to that is, not the man. Not what you’re looking at. These things are hidden from your site. Go on and sleep, the time is near.

Even now, The Kingdom of God is at hand.

We are complete in Him part 2

Posted on July 26, 2018 by ADMIN

We are complete in him who is head over all principalities and powers. Another view is, we are seated in the heavenlies in Christ. Having this puts us above and outside of reach of lower level turmoil. As scripture says “after you have suffered awhile may God perfect, establish, and settle you” and for some of us He did.

Scripture also says God “has delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of His Son”. This is done as well. It is us “who all our lifetime had been held captive to the fear of death” are fearful no more. Faith squelched that. Our “faith has made us whole” in a way carnal death cannot undo.

The fear of death is not a one-time dying but continually being led by the fear of dying, thereby losing of self by being driven by fear and spending yourselve in covering your fear in provisions of this world called policies, providers and apps. It is these things that stabilize the part of you called the ego. We the elect have our own provider. We have a different covering. We are in someone else’s good hands. We are protected under a different policy called “The New Covenant”. It is an all inclusive insurance policy. We have the most comprehensive coverage. Christ said “I will never leave you or forsake you”. That is good enough for me.

We know “Everything that can be shaken will be shaken for the eternal to remain” so what are you holding on to? Lets hope to have attained to the gift given through the good news, which is? Gods own self. He is our sanctification and our forcefield. Also “God has given us everything that pertains to life and Godliness through the knowledge of Him who calls us to glory”. (2 Peter 1) This is the true struggle. To cover ourselves in Gods Word, and not things of this world.

Eternity is the consumation and the expiration of all matter and our manifest destiny defined in scripture, to renew our minds with for the Elect. Which is something that can be realized and actualized today only by faith. THis is to be found “In Christ”. Those who aquire this now are called “a perfect man” (Ehpesians4.13) in “His fullness and likeness”. Nothing will be giving later to add on to, or supersede this gift already given as defined through the gospel. And the fact of the matter is, if we don’t discover and aquire this gift now, we won’t have the opportunity to acquire Gods things later, because the time is coming when it will be said “. ¹¹He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him ^[e]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” the day of salvation will be over, and the opportunity to change will be gone when the contrasts are gone and the facts are plain to see because faith will be over. The gift is “from faith to faith”. There is no reward for believing what us easily seen, or God would be unjust with unfair rules.

Once the eternal facts are without competition, choices cease and you will have made your own outcome by appropriating faith or fear. Therefore let us put on the things of Christ now lest we be found naked. (2 Corinthians 5)

This is why we are called to “redeem the time, because the days evil” and whittling away. Today is the day of salvation.

Today is our cross over point into the invisible physically portrayed in the New Covenant Baptism and the Old Covenant Passover. These are the two visible witnesses of invisible realities we attain now, if you are willing and able.

Therefor it is important for us to understand that “we are beckoned by the spirit to be transformed into Gods self same image today. Unless the gods of this age have you blinded you to acquire another image called false self sufficiency. By seeking to fortify yourself here by clothing your mind with empty promises from the Gods of this age. By doing so you are forfeiting the gift of God called eternal life.

What good does it do for someone to gain the world and loose their soul? But it is a choice you must excersize.

When the writer of Hebrews is talking about the fear of death he does not mean the one time act dying but the living in fear and protecting yourself from your fears with policies.

We have a choice. At each point we wake up to a new fear, we can fortify it with a provision of the god of this age, or a promise from Gods word. You can be in the good hands of an insurance company, or be found “in Christ”. God forbid that I be found in anybody’s good hands but His. For I dare not insult Him. He who said “I will never forsake you”, will not watch idly while something bad happens to you. If you wear His provision of His promises, and not relax or find solice in the promises of the gods of this age, be it health care, retirement, and multiple insurance policies. To be found “in Him” is the safest place to be. As scripture says “We know those who say they are rich, but they are poor blind and naked. That would be these people.

So every time we come to this point in our inner dialogue where fear asks us…. it is here we can grab a hold of something Eternal, or turn in fear and fortify the hole on your shield.

Everything that we do for health care in for retirement for safety and security, are Provisions from the gods of this age to fortify Your Existence here. Who knows my friend if you will be around to spend your retirement. As James said, ²Your riches^[a]are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.³Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. You are hoarding for yourself Treasures for the day of Wrath and revelation of the righteous Judgment of God who renders to each one according to their works. But we have a more enduring inheritance in heaven, the heavens of our mind.

He who loves the world, the love of the father is not in him. God has given us richly all things to enjoy however hold on to those things loosely.

So when the scriptures say that Christ came to deliver us from the subjection of fear from all of our lifetime. That is what this means. How we appropriate His word at that moment of fear. We step on that fear and replace it with faith. We reiterate the promises. And if this more enduring inheritance was only something to be experienced later, then it would be harder to hold out for. But because Christ has suffered at the cross for us, having taken away all the criticisms and condemnations and scare tactics, He shows for us here that because the payment is paid in full, the gift is rendered effective. And for this very reason not only does the fullness of the godhead body dwell in him, but we are complete in him who is the head over all principality and Power and have the Godhead too.

Meaning we are not waiting for something to come later. We are not exchanging one physical element for another but visible for invisible. These things are sewn corruptible, then raised incorruptible in the spirit of our mind, which is the place of our new existence. As we’ve spoken many times before that the heavens that are carnally known as being filled with stars and galaxies, is not as large as the expanse of our mind which grows bigger and bigger by the expansion of the Holy Spirit. And even as a worm cannot understand the life and flight of a butterfly, so then those who are driven by fear and controlled by fear and fortify themselves from that fear, cannot know or understand the life in flight of those who were born of the spirit. Even as Christ in his discourse with Nicodemus said, for the wind blows wherever it wants to. You can hear the sound of it but you cannot tell where it comes and where it goes, so too are those who are born of the spirit. Such are we. We are not fortified here of the promises of the God of this age for the supplicants of this age in the supplements of this age, oh no. Every time we have a fear we offer up to God his son the only sacrifice that is acceptable to him. His son is word. He has the word broken down and so therefore the promises of God in Scripture that find root in the Linings of your heart and soul, when the fear comes you offered that promise to God showing you are the sons of God. In this way we are shown to follow the spirit of God and confirm our identity as his children. He came to deliver those who are all their lifetime subject to the fear and the fear of death, we no longer fear those things. We no longer spend our times or fortifying our self against the inevitability that we will lose our self.

So if we lose ourselves in Christ, we gain everything. For what profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?

It is those who have gained everything in in this age that have nothing in the next. And it is those of us who have nothing in this age that have everything in the next age. And just as Christ was seeing writing as a peasant on a donkey up to Jerusalem was filled with the fullness of the godhead body, so we to walking incognito have these things that the glory in the essence may be of God and not of ourselves. Ourselves has been dumped out,. We have traded physical things for invisible things and only those of us who are Spirit born again can understand or received

For those who are looking at the man, or the peasant on a donkey and ask who are you? So many would say to us as well who are you? And our answer to that is, not the man. Not what you’re looking at. These things are hidden from your site. Go on and sleep, the time has come.

*The work of Christ’s invisible Kingdom

If you are still looking to the Physical Realm and planet Earth for the manifestation of the kingdom of God you are going to be sorely disappointed. Why? Because “Eye Has Not Seen Nor Ear heard of the things that God has prepared for those who love him, but God has revealed them to us by his spirit.”

Paul’s love for his countrymen, the Israelites

Posted on July 13, 2018 by ADMIN

Paul in Romans 9 was speaking of his countrymen said that he wishes he was accursed from Christ instead of them. It was Paul who was referring to the Israelite’s when he was talking about his countrymen who were cut off from God.

When Paul was talking about his countrymen, he understood their despotic estate. He knew that they were cut off from the grace of God. The whole culture could have forgotten and none would have known any of the better. But Paul wanting to explain the difference, said that they were rejected because “they sought not the things of God by faith of believing the invisible. Israel, instead of seeking the things of faith in the invisible sought them as it were by physical findings. These were called “stiff- necked always rejecting the Holy Spirit” because they refused to transform in their understanding from the carnal to spiritual realities.

Israel and The Promised Land

Posted on July 7, 2018 by ADMIN

In today’s news there’s much talk about Israel and the Promised Land. But what is “The Promise Land”? And what is “Israel” according to the Bible? After all, isn’t it the scriptures that define this?

In Exodus 4.22 The Lord spoke to Moses saying “Israel is My son, My firstborn.” So we ask, is that Israel really God’s firstborn son? The answer is no, not that one. That old Israel only depicted and mimicked things that are invisible “in Christ”.

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 10.10 “Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, ²all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, ³all ate the same spiritual food, ⁴and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” Showing us here everything they did had invisible implications of eternal realities in Christ.

The same is true for us who are baptized, not into Moses, but “in Christ”. The place of the fulfillment of all things is in a person, and not a place. And because the Israelites of old ate and drank of Christ back then, we can understand He pre-existed the time He appeared to fulfill and expire them on earth.

Everyone who was in that Israel, were the recipients, or “joint heirs” of the things they shared. Just as with the New Covenant Israel. Everyone who is there “in Christ” are joint heirs of the things that belong to God. The old covenant Israel depicted physically, in a hands on way, for us to learn of the greater reality of things in the spirit for those who are born of the spirit.

To associate, eat and drink of the things in the spirit as we just quoted. To assimilate and put on the things God has provided for us to partake of Him. We no longer need the old covenant because it is fulfilled and we now have a better way called the gospel.

It is “the gospel message of Christ that is the power of God for salvation”. There is no other saving but by faith. “From faith to faith”. That is it.

Truthfully Christ, the first born son, is spiritual Israel and Gods only begotten Son that the Exodus 4.22 son of God shadowed. Those who are “in Christ” are in the place the Lord said to Moses “Israel is My first born son”. This is the place the promises of God are fulfilled. Those who are “in Christ” are in “The Promised Land” because He is the place of the fulfillment of all the promises of God, for those born of the spirit as seen here in 2 Corinthians 5. ¹⁷Therefore, if anyone is “in Christ”, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ¹⁸Now all things areof God.” They are heavenly and not earthly.

Even Joshua was a parable of the rest in the promise land as it is written in the book of Hebrews 4.⁸For if ^[b]Joshua had given them rest, (by partitioning and dividing up the land) then He would not afterward have spoken of another day”. God spoke of another day because He did not want them to think of His things as being of earthly matter. We have a “heavenly calling”.

The New Covenant says “all the promises of God are yes and amen” where? “In Christ”. They are fulfilled “in Him” not in time and matter. In Christ all things take on their final form. This is the end gain and by-product of the gospel to the believer. All these things are accomplished by the word of God, and without the Word of God nothing will be. And what exists will remain untill the word has accomplished what God designed it to do. And ehen the things that were made in the time of creation are removed, then our inheritance will be without competition or distraction. We are receiving a kingdom thst cannot be shaken. “Everything that can be shaken will be shaken for the eternal to remain”. That’s it. Ahbadubada, thats all folks.

Our purpose is to be found “in Christ”. Or to borrow old testament nomenclature, to reside in Israel, in the promised land. The old depicted the new, but never becomes the new. The old has trade in value.

To be in “the promised land” and “in Israel”, and “in Christ” are all synonymous terms describing the same thing.

Those who are in Christ are in the new Israel, the only place the fulfillment of all scripture rests, as described in the New Covenant

Paul’s last words in the book of Galatians says this about the true Israel.

¹⁵For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. ¹⁶And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.” Showing for us here precisely who Israel is. That we the elect are in the Promised Land, in Israel and “In Christ” of God and not a place on earth, but anywhere two or more are gathered in His name.

We who are “in Christ” are in the fulfillment of all that was written and spoken of both the old and the new covenants. These things belong solely to us who are “in Christ” the true Israel of God and Gods only begotten son. You need not look for another.

Scripture says of Christ that “in Him dwells the fullness of the God head body, and we are complete in Him who is the head of all powers and principalities and principalities”. Another physical Israel on earth only obscures the truth.

The Kingdom of God is at hand. Amen.
