“Eye has not seen nor has ear heard the things that God has prepared for those who love Him. But He has revealed them to us by His Spirit”. And because God is Spirit and Truth, His things must be “spiritually discerned” (and assimilated). Because of this most people want something more tangible to put their trust in.

Another proper translation for “discern” is examine”. And the only way to correctly discern, examine and authenticate something is in the spirit. It is to have Gods Holy Spirit for this discernment, and Gods Testament to know what we have been freely given from the other side of the veil of human wisdom supported by physical findings called the facts.

And from 2 Corinthians 2 “the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (understood and made knowable)”. And “These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches (about the facts) but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”

Because of this, the mouth has not tasted nor has the nose caught a whiff of the delicacies, features of provisions, which God has spread before us to fortify us in our new non-compositional body. We understand that the carnal person is not subjected to the things of God and neither indeed can be, therefor those who are in the flesh, meaning to be restricted to the carnal appetites and mindset, these cannot please God. That’s because they cannot open up to truely taste and savor Gods goodness. But we “taste and see that God is good” and we don’t get this from a dining establishment, for He has said “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens up to Me? To them I will come in and feed them and dine with them”.  So you can understand that your ears are ports to receive food to feed your spiritual person.

But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.

Even as the promise went out in Luke 12, ³⁷ Blessed are those servants whom when the Master comes, He will find them watching. Assuredly, I say to you that He will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and He will come and serve them. ³⁸ And if He should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them watching?  So blessed are those servants.” The question is our YOU watching? And if so can You see Him through His many visitations and comings?

And from Psalms 81 God says “open your mouth wide and I will fill it. Not with things to chew but with things to say. That’s what we get fed for our spiritual rumination, which is our words of faith.

It’s because of this, those of us who were found watching, we are fed and then told to break it down in concepts for the fold. That is where we take the things of God made know to us first hand, and break them down into pallet-able morsals. These are the stewards of the things of God who are instructed to pass them on. Even as Christ was on the Mount of Olives and the disciples said that the people we’re hungry and Christs reply? You feed them! They then took a small amount of bread and a few fish and fed all the people to the full. The point  is that a little bit of Eternity goes a long ways because eternal things don’t wear out and don’t diminish in size, quantity or duration. Everyone can all eat the same thing and always have leftovers and all be “filled to the full”. If that’s not so for you, pray for understanding to whom God gives to everyone liberally who asks in faith.

It was at the last supper that Christ said “I have longed to eat this supper with you, and I will eat it no more until I eat it with you new in the Kingdom”. Meaning not after the former fashion that fed the flesh, but anew in the Spirit and so we do. What was called the last supper was last in a carnal way, but there is no end or shortage of what we eat now “new in the Kingdom”. We are renewed in the spirit to associate with Gods kingdom “at hand” to pallet things with our understanding that common senses just can not assimilate. And not if, but since God is everywhere all the time, this can happen anywhere anytime and all the time where you ate. Are you getting this? Or do you need more proof.

We can understand this better in picture form from Joseph. He was pushed into a pit and abandoned by his brothers and left for dead. Years later because of a massive famine they went to Egypt for food and sustinence and pleaded for it. The ironic thing about this is that it was their very own brother whom they left for dead, that was now appointed over all the affairs and services of that kingdom. Not recognizing him, he invited them to dine with him in private. After the steward vetted them from all those unrelated, he was instructed to take them away from the main meeting and dining area to eat discreetly in a private room with the king we know was Joseph (the one who saved them from their famine and certain death). It was there that the king revealed himself as the one who sold for coinage, left to die in a pit, then effectually was raised up in power and prestige and shared Everything he had with his brothers as one who took on their hunger and weaknesses. This sounds like what Christ did for us. This is a snap shot of what the Christ of the gospel does for us, outside of the view of carnal perceptions. As He said to “follow Me that where I am you may be also” shows you that it is up to you to do so. He did not leave you where you are looking for a second coming savior. We NOW go to scripture to see what is rightfully meant for us. This is us dining at our Kings table. Scripture is for feeding the spirit of your mind, your place to be transfigured. (Romans 12.2)

Welcome to the Kings table where “all things are made ready”. Amen!

The Portion From Satans Table

It stands to reason that if you are getting the best care and most reliable and accurate protection, safety and services, but just then to maybe get a better deal you shop around. With businesses this seems to be the status quo and there are few allegiances other than the best bang for your dollar. But scripture says that “you cannot serve God and Mammon” meaning money. And IF serving money is NOT bad enough, you knowing scripture, and maybe even growing up in the church knowing the promises of God but then you are found up to your neck with payments, programs, savings and service providers of all sorts and it’s still not enough.

Yes there is a trade off in industry’s, one service for another. So since God has made promises to take care of you, then the time comes that you need to call due the promises and to be taken care of and you feel like God is just not there. Well you have been paying and playing into the world systems and services as tho they are your source of benevolence and benefits, and you have been doing this for years. But you cannot serve God and Mammon.  Don’t you think that just spits in the face of Him who said “I will never leave you or forsake you”? But nevertheless you’ve got yourself covered with all sorts of worldly services that are suppose to take care of you, and further more you use them and pray in Jesus name. You’ve got things mixed up because you cannot eat from the Lords table and the things of the world an the god of it.

This is why scripture says “¹⁷ Therefore “Come out from among them, And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” ¹⁸ “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters,  Says the Lord Almighty.”

You see the gospel is free of charge (Isaiah 55). But you feel more secure being snuggled up and bound by contracts and paying for the services you need so therefore  you chose your provider And it is NOT God the Fathers gospel.

He is just a word away but you would rather sit in waiting rooms to receive the next designer drug or a string of drugs, all of which they take no real responsibility to have any real cure because they are just practicing. Yes they are medical and doctor practitioners because they know they don’t have things figured out. You say, but they are doing the best they can. You would understand this if you read their terms and conditions of which you cannot indemnify them for anything . That is why they are purposely called “practitioners”, so it is hard to really place any real expectations of cures on them because they say “well we are doing the best we can do”. Well if it was working, the “medical”, meaning man made concoctions, if these were working it would NOT be a growing industry, but nevertheless you support them with immensely greater amounts of time and money then you do the gospel. We then ask, who is really taking care of you, big pharma? Then there you have it, behold your God. But you sure feel religious for going to church and thanking God for them, but God does not play the odds.

That is all the medical field is today. A gamble and a game of what drug works best. Unbenounced to those that administer and use them, the side effects of the diagnosed desease are usually the same as the effects of the class of drugs used to supposedly cure. Meaning that as the symptoms that increase are blamed on the disease when many times the drugs causes those symptoms. So the drugs become more and more, and the outcome goes from bad to worse.

This is why God in scripture says to some “but you with your hard and impotent heart are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgement of God who renders to each one according to what they have done”. This would include who you trust and who you are in alliance with the worlds system. Then you wonder why the church today cannot do the works and miracles of the early church. Now you can quit wondering. And quite likely what many have done is played the harlot. The harlot because you just love the worry free coverages that are really not free but they give you a false sense of peace. They offer you services for a fee. When in reality, in our time there are more tests, shots, drugs, appointments, pharmacia, sickness, pains and deaths than anytime EVER in history with the exception maybe of world wars.

Humanity at large has largely left the simple understanding of FAITH in God, and a knowledge of His love in exchange for a sense of safety health and well being and spend more time researching and tending to these providers than they do with scripture looking at the things God has spelled out (pre-scribed) in scripture where it says that “we have been given everything that pertains to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who calls us into His Glory”. (2 Peter 1) Figure out what this means.

In Romans 1 scripture talks of those who turn from God, and it comes to a point where because they don’t come back to Him, He gives them up to the desires of their hearts. This is done so that they may see the fruitlessness of the abilities of their demi-gods, their services and products, whom they serve with payments on a monthly basis with co-pays. To return to Him in repentance, a word that simply means to turn around. To do an about face, to return to Him by changing allegiances. His arms are wide open still.

For a good understanding of this we turn to Luke 13 that says “There were present at that season some who told Christ about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had ^[a]mingled with their sacrifices. ² And Christ answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? ³ I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. ⁴ Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? ⁵ I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” This is a pretty Stern warning considering that Christ wasn’t speaking to commoners but those closest to Him as being His 12 disciples. What kind of atrocities do you see in the news today and think the same thing?

We see here that scripture is clear that those who heed God’s promises are taught to apply Gods provisions by faith. We do this by repeating His promises back to Him with a thankful, expectant heart, and not by complaints or monthly payments.  But to acknowledge, obey and give gratitude to Him is what pleases our Heavenly Father, not to blindly throw yourself to the world’s system for care and ask God to bless that. God has no partners of such with big pharma, which is just a cluster of current demigods looking to steal Gods glory by accepting your payments. After all, who is it you acknowledge and thank for any cures? Generally the ones you pay for this is a form of homage.

So we could reason that this adulterous behavior may not have anything to do with being saved or going to Hell. It is quite likely like with us, if God has spoken to you a number of times about coming clean from some aspects of our world that bring condemnation, then you are caught off guard doing the very thing He told you NOT to do, and He tried to save you from their fake remedies and cures by nudging you by the internal unctions and promptings of Gods Holy Spirit? Then you get sick? Then you get what you paid for, literally. You get what you bought in to. But you say, everyone is doing it.

When someone turns from the promises of God we see laid out in scripture, they don’t get the next best thing but the exact opposite. Scripture says that “we are in the world but not of the world”. We have a different method of doing things. And we are clearly called to come out of the world. Again “be ye holy as I am holy” says God, then you let them poke holes in you to infect you with their scientific concoctions and subject you to radiation exposure. We are to disassociate with the world’s system with all its failures, however they may be disguised as benevolence at least in intention. But look at their statistics and trends. It’s all about the money and why they call them industries. They generate streams of cash for them of unfathomable profits.

Here is a lesson from 1 Corinthians 10 of the Israelites who exsaserbated the patience of God

10 Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, ² all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, ³ all ate the same spiritual food, ⁴ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. ⁵ But with most of them God was NOT well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

⁶ Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. ⁷ And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” ⁸ Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; ⁹ nor let us ^[a]tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; ¹⁰ nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. ¹¹ Now ^[b]all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our ^[c]admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

And again. “¹⁸ Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices ^[f]partakers of the altar? ¹⁹ What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered (like monthly payments) to idols is anything? ²⁰ Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice (make monthly payments to) they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship (associations of any sort) with demons. ²¹ You cannot drink the cup of (the provisions of) the Lord and the cup of (the provisions of) demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. ²² Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?”

And we serve you this reminder, IF you are promised something in scripture, you shall be judged by what is written therein with even just a common rendering especially if you refer to Him by name or title. If God promises to take care of you, cloth you and feed you, and from the testimony about those in the wilderness, God fed them and clothed them, their shoes did not wear out, their teeth were clean. He gave them manna and quale from the sea to eat”. That “these were written for our admonition on whom the ends of the age has come”. For you then in turn do what they did, shame on you. If you just politely thank the Almighty God by reiterating and reverberating His word back Him and receive it in faith, you may experience a miracle.

Think of the Centurion who ask Christ to heal his Son and Christ having said “let it be according to your faith”. Then when Christ asked him why he wasn’t doubting his son was healed he replied “ for I too as a centurion, meaning a leader over hundreds, if I say to this one do this and that one do that, they do it”. Christ commended that man for his faith because he did not doubt, nor did he need any proof. What about you? Do you think you could do that without calling the hospital, the doctor or the morgue?

They were also instructed by God to  throw a piece of wood into the water and made it drinkable with healing properties showing us that God’s covering and provisions are complete without coverage gaps or back up policies without exclusions, payments and memberships, and without modern technology or pharmakia..

In our day and age there are few people that are not on the role for pharmaceuticals. The word pharmacy comes from the Greek word pharmacia and is the Greek word for witchcraft. And rightfully so. A large percent of the worlds population is taking drugs and injections on a regular basis. There are more and more people sick and dying, even professing Christians. Their is a reason why health care and big pharma is a growing business. Because it doesn’t work or they would put themselves out of business.

So when God told the Disciples, those closest to Him that “unless you repent, these things will likely happen to you”. He wasn’t talking about wether they were saved or not. He was just saying, you are going to experience a dreadful way of death. And when you are in the middle of it, God is not bound by any agreements or contracts to void His allegences to you. But it is you that are bounded out by contracts to others. And any other allegences you have are ALL forms of spiritual adultery and a wall you built between you and God.

This is why God warned us with His Words in His book that is called The New Will and Testament of God, spelling out the expectations for those invited to recieve the provisions from that document. He warned us of the world systems saying ” Babylon (the world system) has fallen and has become a snare and a trap for every unclean and hateful bird (speaking of demons/demigods in offices). And God goes on to say “therefore (because if this) come out of her My people lest you partake if her sins and receive of her judgments (this is His will for you) for God has remembered her.”

It is NOT God’s will for you to be judged with the world but you must “choose you this day who you serve”. Your payment is your voting ballot for them. All God is asking for is a proffesion of faith and a continual act of prayer, trust and asking Him. Pretty simple huh?

And from 2 Corinthians 6.

¹² You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. ¹³ Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

Oh you Corinthians ¹⁴ Do not be unequally yoked together (contracted) with unbelievers. For what [d]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what [e]communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵ And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you[f] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

¹⁷ Therefore

Scripture is very clear on this “you cannot eat off the Lord’s table and from demons”. And if this is too vague for you, we will be blunt, kaiser permente means king eternal. Providence is an exclusive attribute of God. Any color cross for healthcare is blasphemy and “you’re in the good hands of whom?

Abraham lifted his hand to the Lord God, possessor of Heaven and Earth to not take a stitch of clothing or a sandal strap from anyone lest they say they made him rich”. So God answered him and said “Abraham I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward”. Meaning nobody and nothing could come in as a close second place for any of these protections and provisions. And if God promises to protect you, who could sneak past Him as though He was sleeping.We are in His good hands.

It was with Moses in their wilderness wanderings that when any of the Israelites got sick, they were all instructed to look to the pole in Moses’s hand with the snake wrapped around it for them to be made whole, and made well. But this analogy is pretty much obscured because of the medical industry today uses the exact same image for their logo. A staff with a snake bound around it? Do you think that is a coincidence, or maybe they are divine. These things are not hidden but in plain sight. You have been warned. Do we continue to test the patience of God?

The unfortunate thing for the simple and the ingnorant is that, when you turn from God in this way, you don’t get the next best thing but you get the exact opposite. That is what the Pole with the Snake around it is today. The contender, the counterfeit the antagonist of God and the gospel of His Son of the cross whereby you you cross over from death to life if you can believe. But you don’t so you have contracted with another source of healing, health, safety and promises called the anti-christ known in part as modern health care.

If you are under their care long enough God will give you up in regard to your health. And in the time you need God the most, He will not be found by you because of the wall you built between you and Him by accepting others coverings and services. You have effectually insulting the spirit of grace for coverage (covering) for another. For this reason 1 John 2 says that Christ is the covering for the whole world”, but yes you can opt out.

And John 3.16 That God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Begotten Son into the world not to condemn the residents of the world, but to save them”. This means for all your boogie men and fears as it pertains to this life. And “on Him was laid the inequity of us all and by His stripes ye were healed”. But oh no, that can’t be real. But yes it can and is. This is the gospel in full. Don’t let the deniers fool you and chest you of this reward.

The Kingdom of God is at hand, unless you’ve contracted with others. Come see Him when your contract is terminated. He will be their standing with arms wide open.

“Eli Eli Lama Sabachthanni”. Translated “My God My God, why have you forsaken me?

These were the last words from the incarnate Christ as His carnal body went limp at the cross, a spear struck in His side, with water and blood running out on the ground, effectually cleansing the whole earth, He is then proclaimed dead. So the last thing He said was, God oh God, why have you forsaken me? Because that is what  Eli Eli Lama Sabachthanni” means.

So we must ask ourselves, do we know what Christ really experienced? The answer is He experienced total darkness of the absolute absence of God the Father and all His goodness, to experience the opposite of unfathomably, excruciating pain. However, He experienced that NOT for Himself but for us, so that we wouldn’t have to. He took our death unto Himself. Meaning at our moment of darkness in the hour of our death of entering the unknown, we don’t have to ask the Father, Lama Sabachthani, or why have you forsaken me, of being as far away from God as spiritually possible because Christ took that on for us. And not only did he take on for us a certain death of eternal darkness, but He saved us from all the ill effects and consequences of the pain and agony of death itself so that we wouldn’t have to be afraid of death. The death and certain condemnation we each deserve, He took that for us. For this reason “to as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become His children, even those who simply believe in His name. And that is how He did it.

He completely neutralized the ill effects and consequences of the fall of Adam and Eve that effectually made us all dead. When they ate the forbidden fruit they died the death of certain separation from God that was passed on to all of humanity, except for Christ because He may have been born by a human women, but not in the fashion of Adam. He had a different liniage, bloodline and outcome. A sinless one. However he selected to die the death of sinners which Adam and Eve bequeathed to us, to wipe the slate clean for anyone and everyone who would believe in Christ to receive the pardon. This is us being rescued from an Adamic given way of thinking to be associated with the new of being “in Christ” in contrast with being opened and exposed in association with Adam. This is what “being saved” is all about. It is a reversal of the curse given to us from Eden. The curse of death in exchange for the gift of life., To all who would excersize their personal sovereignty and ability to say yes to the gospel and not let go.

And the first testimony of this in the New Testament liniage was Stephen who was stoned to death publicly by the Jewish leaders and He did NOT  say “Eli Eli, Lama Sabachthani, or why have you forsaken me”. Scripture says “⁵⁵ But Stephen, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Christ standing at the right hand of God, ⁵⁶ and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man STANDING at the right hand of God!” This is a far cry from being forsaken. And this all happened unbenounced to the persecutors.

In truth Christ is seated in complete victory waiting for His enemies to become His footstool, However like in Stephens case, He does stand up to receive His Elect, of those who take Him at His word against all proof otherwise. Meaning us who believe that death has been paved over so as to never taunt nor threaten us ever again. Bring it on because our glory can only become more evident and shine brighter and brighter as was Stephens.

And don’t forget Romans 8?

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him (and because of Him) also freely give us all (of Gods) things? ³³ Who shall bring a charge against Gods elect? It is God who justifies. ³⁴ Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. (Because of this impenetrable barriers) ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ As it is written:“For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”³⁷ Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, ³⁹ nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, NOTHING shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Amen! And so be it!

That’s the blessedness of the Cross and is also what gives us permission and power to move past the fear of death, the consternation and the pains associated with it. Without Christ’s propitiation we could not experience unfettered, un-interupted eternal life now in our lifetime without death bothering us, but we can. Anyone still holding on to “the fear of death” doesn’t understand the Love God  has for us and has not received this provision supplied to us by us putting our faith as spelled out in the gospel. Meaning, the Christ of the cross, which is our proof that what we say is true because that death couldn’t overcome Him, and He packaged that and inherited it to us to become overcomers too..

If there was any death or dying that has not been paid for, Jesus Christ would still be on the cross. Or He would have to send another form of saving but that is blasphemy because then Christs first attempt would be partial and considered a failure. But we testify that it is not, because we possess now the gift of life He gave us as proof. If you believe in Christ and don’t have this kind of assurance, it is because you only believe in part, but not all of the gospel.

That is because you have to receive the promises of eternal life be faith, by BLIND faith. That is what faith is. That one must first believe that God exists and that He rewards those that diligently seek Him” and take Him at His written word. “In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. God is His Word and that is it. This is abiding “in Christ” is abiding in Word. This is appropriating His promises. And when necessary for you? Now you know how to do it. You are taught what to say to the obstacles you encounter. They are put there for your exercise.

The writer of Hebrews put it like this “¹⁴ Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, in order that through death He would destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and to release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” To not fear death in it’s various stages again.

It is that “fear is death because fear involves torment”. And that too was expired at the cross. That is why Christ said numerous times, do not fear but believe. Believing requires trust.

And the glorious result of this for us is that “we see Jesus, who was made ^[f]a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, for Him, by the grace of God, to taste death for everyone.” And “¹⁰ For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many offspring to glory (way past the threats of pain, suffering and dying), to make the captain of their salvation perfect through (His) sufferings”. This is in reference to the cross where He tasted and fully experienced not just death for us, but took on the death for each one of us. John 3.16-17

If this concept escapes you, it’s because you may not have enough stock in the eternal. “Faith is the evidence of things hoped for the substance of the things not seen, for by this the elders obtained from God”. If you’re able to put your faith in the invisible, you would be able to see Christ at the cross on your behalf taken on the ill effects and the consequences of death as having happened to us as well. Didn’t we vow at our baptism, to be buried in the likeness of His death, to be raised in newness of life’s? That death is behind you. Death has no hold on you. Believe it!

And again ‘if anyone is in Christ they are newly created, old things having passed away and all things became new and all things new are from God”. So you can let go. And since we are declared new by the same one who said let there be light, how close do you think death can get to you if you are sanctified in Christ with the Holy Spirit brooding over you as if you were chicks. It’s really not up to you.

Then we have a Shadrack Meshach and Abednego. These three were thrown into a burning fire seven times hotter than ever burned before and the people who observed saw four men dancing in there and one looked like the son of god. They were dancing celebrating that moment because for them as it is for us the fear of death should be completely absolved. Patient and death should have no bear on us at all because the outward man may wince and cry however the inward one that was renewed day by day through revelation, one after another is not the recipient of that.

And that is the point for us. At that moment of absolute fear, darkness and death we know these have no hold on us because our old man was hung out with Christ at the cross by faith as we vowed at baptism to give us the new life then. The one after death. But because you have not experienced dying yet, you think you still will. But if that is the case, the work of the cross is cheapened and death still haunts you. This can only happen through the doorway in the spirit of your mind. Death is just the final layer of putting off the skin you inhabit but you never die. We go through our renewal inside here by faith.

A promise in scripture says that “We have put off the body of the sins of the flesh” not being the flesh body itself but a passed on collection of a body of old beliefs of doubts, fears and misconceptions. Meaning our new body is a new body of beliefs and principles in the spirit of our mind, because that is all we get to keep of this carnal experience we call life because “flesh and blood does NOT inherit the Kingdom of God”. Only the re-Spirited mind of faith does. This is where you find God.

:Warning: If you are given into the  powers and providers of this age with their promises, provisions and coverages to provide and take care of you, you are likely outside the covering of God and unable to grasp any of what we say. Your heart and mind are likely covered over with a doubt and/or self righteous anger which is similar to those who despised Stephen.

We are also told that “if we judge ourselves we shall not be judged” this is how we’ve escaped the pending doom. And “it is time for judgement to begin with the house God” to see where our allegiances are. This age or the age to come. You will be tested on this from time to time. So if you feel stripped or lost, you’ve likely just passed something through the other side. These are your birthing pains, but with proper recognition you can have joy. As Christ said “the joy I give you, no one can take from you because it is out of reach of their carnal abilities.

And Peter said “do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though some strange thing has happened to you. But rejoice to the extent that as you participated in the sufferings, you also participate in the glory”, indicating a one to one correlation and a trade in old for new. We do this one revelation at a time with the goal of this kind of perfection NOT of the flesh, but perfect in understanding. As we read from Romans 12.2 be ye transfigured by the renewing of your mind”. So you know where the transformation happens, in the spirit of your mind.

We have a curious verse from Isaiah who said “how can you say to my soul, to flee like a bird to your mountain?” Just like we’ve been explaining.

And again from Isaiah 57.1

The righteous perishes,
And no man takes it to heart;
Merciful men are taken away,
While no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from ^[a]evil.
²  They shall enter into peace;
They shall rest in their beds,
Each one walking in his uprightness.

And 26.20 “Come, my people, enter your chambers,
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment,
Until the indignation is past.
²¹ For behold, the Lord comes out of His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her ^[l]blood,
And will no more cover her slain.”

And you may ask where is your chamber? It is in your re-newed mind of faith, because God does not dwell in things made by man and “the earth and all its works will be burned for the eternal to remain”. So you can understand that, being renewed in the spirit of your mind is where your new creation is anyway because that’s all you get to keep.

It is not as though it is new for God because everything God has is forever new. So it is just new for you because you may have just discovered it and received it. That everyone who is born of the spirit moves by the spirit, and is renewed to the spirit. We are those “who HAVE put off the body of the sins of the flesh” which is a body of doubts and fears, but NOT the flesh itself because even Christ in the flesh WAS “the fullness of the Godhead body” for us to be complete in Him who is head over all powers and principalities. And even as God said when He looked at the first man “it is good!” That was at the last day, the  final act and the crowning Jewell of creation, on His own image made He man in His likeness”. So the flesh itself is not the enemy of God, but the fearful and the selfish ways of thinking are.

We say this to make another point, that even one once of eternity is of more value than all of creation that is carnally assimilated, because after it burns you get to keep that ounce of eternity that wasn’t created. And each ones work shall be judged by what matter of work it is. A carnal work and various types of physical preservation reaps zero rewards. Not that life isn’t prescious, but the old self is not. That is why Paul said he counted it all as dung and filthy rags that he may attain the righteousness of Christ” and we just explained to you your right doing. “In your patience possess ye your soul.”

 The Kingdom of God is emphatically “at hand”. Amen!

Sounds like the cries of the Son of God and Persecution.

Many are familiar with the Son of God at the cross where He took on the sin of the world. It wasn’t so much only the sin He took on, but the judgment and condemnation of all the pain and ill effects associated with sin and death. And He took it on NOT for some but for all time for everybody who is willing to accept Christs payment on their behalf for the exchange from death to life according to godliness. And the exchange rate here is 1 to 1. One dead man for a new one, one after another. That’s a pretty good deal.

John 3. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish (live a life of dying) but have everlasting life (retroactive starting with confession). ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world (or shut it down), but for the world through Him to be saved”. Meaning returned to it’s initial purpose of producing godly offspring. And because creation only reflects the condition of the hearts of people, so the world wasn’t saved so much but the hearts of all would be believers were at stake. That’s because the earth and all it is was made for man, not the other way around. It wasn’t until Adam sinned till he was told to till the earth, showing us the fall or, the inversion of thinking.

So when the earth seems to be waining and fading, that is because the hearts of men are and NOT because of climate change or global warming. Those are both symptoms of the human condition that is not right with God. When God finished creating and looked upon it and said it was good, He played out all the variables, and it adapted perfectly for it’s purpose.

This is the litmus test of time because as long as the hearts and minds of the people were right with God, this is what righteous means, so too creation would remain “good, very good” throughout it’s harvest times and seasons. The seasons are in reference to God harvesting the godly or god-like among people in general. “But when Christ comes will He really find the just on the earth?” This would be His final reckoning and collecting and not to save. We are already in the saving timeframe.

We can read of that account whereby the Son of God refused to deny that He was King when He was on trial saying “for this reason I have come into the world”. Showing us His pre-existing eternal value, and what the prize was for Him coming here which is us. In truth when He defended the title of Him being King, He did it not so much for Himself but for us who would be the recipients of the shared kingship in “The Kingdom of God at hand, that Adam and Eve turned from. Christ was restoring it by Him coming here in our likeness because in the beginning we were made in His image and likeness and lost it. So He became our way back to the Father, to share the goods that belongs to Him that He gave to us in the beginning, meaning everything. Didn’t Christ say that, to those who overcome He would Grant them power over the nation’s?

But you see scripture says that He was smitten for us, and just like the childs game with Mexican Pinatas, with a stuffed figure full of candy hanging on a stick. When stricken, all the goods come out for the kids satisfaction. So too with the cross of Christ scripture says that “He was striken for us and by His stripes we are healed”. It is there we get the goods for all our health care needs, our quality and satisfaction of life.

Just like Moses was instructed to hold up a pole with a dead snake wrapped around (like the healthcare field) it so that when one looks at it, they can be healed from all manner of sickness, desease and snake bites. Not only does this represent the Cross of Christ, but it exposes who the counterfeits are “with all lying signs if possible to decieve the elect”. The counterfeit stole that logo for deceptive means.

For this reason the cross is where we go for all of our necessary instruments of Godliness to become like The Son of God. “For even the angels in heaven behold the face of the Father in these little ones.” Not only do we get the goods “that pertain to life and godliness”, but we are free from the condemnation due, and the self inflicted anguish and pain of death associated with fear and guilt. Christ died to set us free from those symptoms, so that we wouldn’t have to experience that kind of death. In truth, we all loose our bodies. But in Gods time frame. When He is done with us here He can take us home and He doesn’t need modern medicines help. He created His creation as “very good” and He did not forget something or create things half way in hopes that mankind would hurry up and evolve to make their cures to save everyone on the planet. That’s what a Savior does. So you’ve been warned.

So many may ask, well what about those who die an excruciating death? Like maybe even a slow death through torture? Well if you can understand and trust the one who designed and made you, the same one who said that “I will never leave you or forsake you”. To leave you forsaken”. You could know that when and IF that time comes, He can jetasine your spirit and conscious right out of your human body because He designed a rip cord for that cause. Didn’t Paul teach in Romans that the body is dead because of sin and therefore you are raised in newness of life? That by faith you are already raised from the dead? That death no longer has dominion over such a one? For God to overlook this simple gift already given, puts one at risk of double Jeopardy. But Gods word is true, “I will never forsake you”, or leave you forsaken.

It is at this point we can understand that with Christ at the cross and with His dying words of Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani”, meaning “My God My God why have you forsaken me?” The answer is that God made a deal with the Son to let Him take on the sin and death of the world so that at the point of death that belongs to each person of the world through all time could by faith place their sin on that man, with all its pain and sorrow so that the recipients wouldn’t have to endure it. Scripture says that Christ was despised and rejected for us all. This doesn’t mean because of us but for our sake.

It’s like this. If I promised to take on a task for you, let’s say to wallow through a raging river to retrieve your child from being swept away by a current. That means it was done for you to spare you the possibility of dying yourself, so that you would be saved from a certain death yourself and you’re beloved. That is what Christ did for us. And IF we truly understood that Christ to on our infirmities, sicknesses and death, it did that to spare us from the raging river we percieve in dying, so that the fear of that is not even entertained in your thinking.

Oh the blessedness of having a Savior like The Son of God.

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

² He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

³ He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

⁵ Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

(Shadows have no real substance)

We see this with the marytr Steven. With Saul/Paul standing by holding the garments, and jackets of the murderers. As they had Stephen on the ground and stoning him about the head and face, Stephens testimony was that, He saw the Son of God standing, hand out, as if to recieve him, and He did. This shows us that Stephen felt not the pain but the Glory, Gods Glory. And what about the pain? Stephen didn’t feel a pinprick. That was laid at the cross too. Not like at the ground in front of it, but on Christ because He was striken for us.

Anytime throughout all time unto eternity all the pain, sorrow and death belonged to The Son of God, and The New Testament is your receipt that it was “paid in full”. No down payments, no credit checks no other installments, no terms and conditions or cookies installed. You are free!  And because He purchased our sin with His death, all the ill effects belong to Him. This is the gospel message, this is the (singular) truth, all others compete with for your soul.

So then, when we read that He will never forsake us, and the promise to those that overcome? Christ said that “I will save you from the trial that shall come upon the whole earth to test those who dwell therein (Revelation 2). He saves us from dying and all its various stages because that’s what a Savior does start to finish. To “deliver those who all their lifetime were subject to the fear of death”, to fear no more. If He didn’t take the pains and long drawn out prosses associated with death too, then He didn’t really pay for it in full but in part, but with His last words on the cross, He said that “it is finished”. Salvation is complete A to Z. And He demonstrated His work by “healing all manner of deseases (minus none) and raised the dead”, so that you would know that those are part of the Salvation package. How remarkable!

So anytime you are threatened with fear of death and the tragedy of death, loneliness and isolation, place it on the Lamb of God. And as the Israelites in the wilderness we’re instructed to do so and send the lamb on it’s way. This was to picture God’s departure and removal of that sin “as far as the east is from the west”. How glorious!

Human death for us just means unfettered Glory because that is what the Son of God gave us in exchange for our death. So we can pretty much let go and let God kick in by giving these back to Him as the true owner of what He paid for. Our freedom from these things. “Those who the Son set free are truly free. Pretty good deal huh?

The Kingdom of God is emphatically at hand. Meaning graspable and attainable before your physical abandonment of your carnal capsule. God knows how and when you shall go. All you can do is to resist kick and fight, and put your trust in others less capable of loving you till the end. Christ did so without demanding any payment on your part but praising Him for such a great salvation package.

So truely since, NOT if, but since salvation is complete in this way, then you don’t need to wrangle with your own consciousness or God to try to prove or flounder as if these truths aren’t so and argue and complain, but live the rest of your life as if things are just fine. You can’t save yourself. As a matter of fact you can’t save anything. Not your neighbor, a co-worker or a family member, not even yourself. Go, be free. Those whom the Son sets free are truly free. Learn what that means.

As we put off our old self and we learn to put on our new person “in Christ” and how is it now that we learn to identify with our inheritance? This is different than “now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?”

We do NOT want to be that. That was the type of bondage that kept us from our greater integration with God the Father by focusing on carnally experienced compositions and giving credence to life’s constant demands as being the priority. As we are promoted to “be ye reconciled to the Father, for He made Christ who knew no sin to become our sin, in exchange for us to become His righteousness in the Father”. That is what the gospel is all about.

In 2 Corinthians 5 Paul had this advice for us.

¹² For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who (erroniously) boast in appearance and not in the heart. ¹³ For if we are beside ourselves (or seem crazy), it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you. ¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that since One died for all, then everyone is (accounted and reconned) dead; ¹⁵ and He died for everyone, that those who now live (this life), should live no longer for themselves but for Him who died for them and rose again.” Which He did to secure and make available our Heavenly inheritance, different than what we had.

And,¹⁶ Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. (The way we use to be) Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh (with physical features), yet from now on we know Him in that way (in human form) no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, those who are “in Christ”, are newly created; old things having passed away; behold, all things are becoming new. ¹⁸ Now all things (new) are from God (in composition and design), who has reconciled us to Himself through (the cross of) Jesus Christ, and has given us (the good news of) this ministry of reconciliation.” 

With these verses we can understand that we partake of something not regarded as carnal and not carnally attainable, however the human psych benefits tremendously, which affects the outer man. That “all things (products and services) are from God” to reconcile and as parabolically put, to assemble ourselves together to His self “in Christ”. With His Holy Spirit and His blessed Word, as being our new main features and impetus for implimenting our new things NOT like Adams, but the invisible man in the spirit like Christ had before and after He put on His flesh and dwelled among us. And this is how to do it, Amen!

We once knew Christ according to His human nature but we know Him better in His Eternal self for “that which is flesh is flesh and that which is spirit is spirit, ye must be born again and we are born from above, being the storehouse where we get our goods. (John 3)

Like the Angel who revealed himself at the end of The Revelation who said “do not worship me for I am one of thy brethren and of those who keep the testimony of Christ, worship Him”.

That angels testimony was the thing that made him appear like Christ, for when he spoke Gods Word, empowered by Gods Holy Spirit, the impact was empowering, for revealing and raising one up or condemning another, depending on their helic cycle of an up or down way of thinking. Be it  life or death, which is defined by fear or faith. This is to be either gathered or scattered. This is Ezekiel seeing the storm enfolding from the north. However we join in the center with the peaceful eye of the storm. This is our place of the 7th day rest.

The opposite of faith is rejecting Christ and trusting in the gods and providers of this age whereby they create a fear and a cure, one after another, to occupy your fearful thinking into oblivion, which is their targeted goal for all of humanity. It’s a harvest of the tares. These are ALL designed by satanists for the process of separating the wheat from the tares, the flesh from the spirit, to keep you from awakening to your greater potential of the life God had for you being associated with and like His Son, not so much at the cross where He became our ugliness, but what comes after, which is your road to glory of a life “in Christ” in a fruitful relationship with the Father. Some may use these terms flippently, because to be “in Christ” is compared to many things.

If you are on a train or a bus, you are quite certain that it will take you to your destination through the obstacles it was created to take you through. If you subscribe to a certain field of sciences, you trust the outcome the presentations and conclusions of that science to cure and care for you for them to do according to their claims of their abilities and in each of these cases, there is no certainty or guarantee that the science they use to promote their product is truely legitimate. However much you may think like this and trust in them, by putting up with the best the professionals can do, where then is the Creator Gods role in this all of this? Is He urging them on, hoping they can do better? Like maybe God has His fingers crossed. Does that sound like The Almighty God? Or just chance. If the professionals are failures, is God a failure too? Are they the best God can do for you? You have to really think about this because your (eternal) life may be on the line.

What does salvation really mean? Didn’t the Christ raise the dead and heal all manner of desease?

For the first death is bad enough, but we have the promise to be spared the second death associated with outer darkness and the worms that eat forever to writhe in shear non-stop agony of dying on a non-stop basis of being eternally cognitive of the opportunities lost. This is what’s in store for the pretenders and decievers.

Do you really think these for profit organizations are to profit you? Just look at the industries and corporate earnings and tell me, do you think they have your real interests in mind during their “behind the doors” board meetings and their financial gains and number crunching figures presented to their “stock investors”? For all the products, services and safety mechanisms, do you really think they’ve got you taken care of and covered?

It’s like this. If your child went to drink some expired milk or try to eat or use something beyond it’s expiration date, you would promptly warn them, then tell them to throw that product away, especially if it was food or a pharmaceutical products. This is what’s behind the FDA. Yes there are some who are unaware you work in compliance with this agency.

It is the opposite with God’s word. The Old Covenant in scripture is said to be fulfilled and expired. But this type of expiration is different than for the products today in that “expired” does not mean the product in scripture is no good so throw it away. It means that all of the forward thinking of products yet to come to save you and help you and cure you and provide for you and cover you in whatever way you may feel open exposed and naked, they are NOW fully developed, opened and oporational and totally available for their full implimentation today as being Gods provisions for whatever ails you. And.eoth His cures, you don’t have to worry about side effects, allergies or new symptoms that require more of their “products”. Do you really think they can keep you safe or save you from supposed variants?

With God’s word there are no test trials you have to participate in to guage it’s effecasy, and no hurried deadlines as though things are out of control and they say “we’re doing the best we can do you’re gonna have to put up with the deaths, sicknesses and side effects because of the urgency to save humanity”. If there was ever a false savior, saving, cure and anti-Christ, this is it! And we say anti- Christ because they claim to be saving the world. If you are a believer in Christ just read John 3.17 and see what that says. After all a lot of people know John 3.16 and believe it but never read the next verse.

However we know and have something better then the healers in our day. That “all the promises of God in the Old Testament and New, meaning to the heirs and believers are YES and AMEN in Christ. Meaning to those who have subscribed and submitted to the righteousness by faith by in that One at The Cross, where “by His stripes ye are healed and on Him was laid the sin of us all”.

And if the truth be known, their is no desease psychological or physical, that can do you harm unless you fear first. Fear is your first enemy because it breaks you down, first mentality then physically and lets desease in. And if you learned to squelch your fears by fortifying your mind with the provisions outlined in scripture, that is what saved us, that is our document with everything we could ever need both now and throughout eternity. These are your safe guards when used appropriately. With Gods prescious promises in scripture, all the media (mediums) hype, the fact checkers (soothsayers), along with the forcasters and bad news would leave you undaunted and un-detoured, as you watch in amazement those who have no real faith in God, His Son and His subsequent death for our atonement, a word that means at-one-ment, and refers to a restored relationship with our Father, the Almighty God. That you’ve agreed to let Him take care of you as long as you DO NOT run to and trust other providers and care takers pilfer you for profit and power.

Scripture speaks of father Abraham, and Christ chided with those who claimed to be Abraham’s offspring and told them “you do the deeds of you’re father the Devil”. So we don’t get mistaken with that group, let’s look at what father Abraham did as a display of his providers and tools of how to get things done.

Abraham was on his way back from was where he joined battle between the 4 kings again the 5. And upon the group he was with becoming the victors, the other Kings went to give to Abraham his portion of the spoils and Abraham stopped them in their tracks and said ” do no such a thing and he said. I lift my hands to The Lord God possessor of Heaven AND Earth, that I will take neither a shoe lace or a stitch of clothing lest you should say you made me rich!” His allegiance with the Father was pure.

This then should be our posture. To make it your lifetime journey to “come out of her My people” and stay out. To “come away and be ye separate and ye shall be My Son’s and My Daughter’s, says God almighty. And “therefore let’s put off all the sins of the flesh  perfecting holiness in the fear of God”. Do not be governed by the fearful presentations through need and advertising for the current powers that be. Because in doing so, let God be your shield, let God be your exceedingly great reward. Recieve these promises and more. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. And having done all you can do to stand. Galatians 6.

Almighty God who says “Come now, and let us reason together,”

Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.”

The point of all of this is that you must choose you this day who to follow. Joshua.

We have spent enough of our lifetime here doing the will of the gentiles.

Those in the time of Daniel refused to eat the delicacies of that kingdom. And the reward for that was that they were protected in the midst of the burning fire while those who stoked the fire, were consumed. And their testimony in that trial? There was a forth man facing with them whose appearance was the Son of God. He is your covering, your protection and cure.

Didn’t Christ say that “I’ll never leave you or forsake you” and “lonI am with you throughout the ages?

So then how do we apply our new nature? We just showed you. You apply the promised of God, revealed to us in scripture and dance your way through the obstacles. God is pleased with this behavior.

We’ll wrap it up with this praise from Daniel 2.

²⁰ Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

²¹ And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

²² He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

²³ I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter.

The Kingdom of God is at hand in this way.

A TRUE PROPHET HAD TO HAVE SEEN CHRIST

We’ve discussed Christ Coming as NOT just 1st and 2nd as commonly taught because that verbage is not found even once in scripture. That is because Christ has appeared numerous times throughout the ages, and continues to do so even now. Doesn’t scripture say that “Today is the day of Salvation, Today if you can hear His voice harden not your heart”?  Hebrews 3.15 Not Today if you can get His signature or shake His hand or make an appointment, because of the billions who live now and the billions who have died, how could it also be true to them all that “Lo, I am with you always even to the ends of the age” without Him being of a ubiquitous nature?

In 2 Timothy Paul said it was God; ⁹ who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our (carnal) works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, ¹⁰ but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has (already) abolished death and (already) brought life and immortality to light (recognizing, understanding and adopting) through the gospel.” This is how we see Christ now. This kind of appearing is different than when “He became flesh and dwelled among us”. (John 1) Just like for you to become rich, poor, powerful or kind means that’s not what you were to start with. 

We agree fully that “God was manifest in the flesh, preached among the gentiles and recieved (ascended) up into glory”. But for those of us who see Him now, we did NOT know Christ in the flesh, we did NOT even experience Him in a human fashion because for us that old Covenant, Will and Testament is history (His-Story). However we DID receive the same bright light that Saul/Paul saw on the road to Damascus and multiple times after that. And we have seen Him that way countless times ever since. Even as He wrote to those in Galatia that “the gospel I preach to you did not come by a man nor was I taught it by a man, but by revelation of Christ” showing us the change in composition to the Son of God associated with His ascension. This is how Paul knew Christ.This is what qualifies us too as “having seen the Lord”, if we experienced Him like Paul.

And to reiterate that Paul did not know or see  Christ in a carnal way like the rest of the 12, and he hadn’t seen Christ prior to his Damascus road experience, he only heard accounts of Christ because Paul was in Rome.

So Paul did NOT meet the man who went to the cross by a first hand encounter with Him as a human or at that Grand event. And as Paul “having seen the Lord” and not having seen the man, is because the human appearance does not matter, that’s not what qualifies one as having seen Christ. For Christ had said “I will never leave you or forsake you”. So seeing Him now is another recognition or realization and a new revelation of Him. And hopefully we get this affirmation and an Amen from you that, you can see Him as well in this new light because He is light. He is “the light that has cometh into the world”. He is the one who came forth first in Creation when God said “let their be light”. This was the Sons first sacrifice of Himself before “He became flesh and dwelled among us”, because He didn’t have to leave the Father for their sake but ours. This is how we see Him because “it is with the heart that one must see and hear to understand the things of God”.

That is the reason there are no descriptions of what Christ looked like in the flesh because “we once (for a short time) knew Christ in the flesh, but henceforth know we Him that way no more!” (1 Corinthians 5) Meaning, do NOT expect Him in the flesh because that is going backwards down the steps of revelation back to His first carnal appearance.

If you can remember, we are the ones to transition (our transfiguration) like Him, not the other way around. He already did that as a way to follow Him back to where He came and He “cut His work short (here) in righteousness” because that’s the way He does things. And a carnal appearance does not matter because Christ was with the Father before “He became flesh and dwelled among us, so flesh is not His natural composition”. We also know Christ went back to the Father and told us to “follow Me that where I am ye may be also”. So His height, hair color, skin color and such was not recorded because any such carnal observations and expectations are irrelevant for us. And when that is important to someone, that becomes idolitrous as misplaced affections and circumvented faith for another other than Him who is invisible and who is “where two or more are gathered together in His name”.

Besides, God is the Creator over all of humanity and gives no preference to such carnal distinctions. As Paul said in Galatia “²⁶ For you are all born of God through faith (and not in a physical way) in Christ Jesus. ²⁷ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Now is that something you observed with your human eyes like looking into a mirror? And confirmed that “we all with unvieled faces as beholding in a mirror the Glory of the Lord, are being transfigured into His self same image from the Glory to the Glory as by the spirit”. With zero carnal involvement or composition. So Paul continues by saying: where

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all (equal without those distinctions and) one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And if you are in Christ, then you are (proverbially) Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

This is what matters, that you know the Son of God in His original construct that He was before He became human like us. Which is a persona defined by some as “the bright light” like Paul. 

So then knowing that for the disciples to graduate to apostles, they had to have seen Christ after the resurrection of what He was before He became flesh and dwelled among us, as Hebrews 13.8 confirms “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and throughout eternity” of never changing. So that even when He put on the flesh, His light still shone where He directed it.

And the truth be told, even the other eleven apostles had to see Christ as preceding and superceding the flesh, as him who is eternally the same through consecutive personal visitations of Christ after His death and resurrection in the same light as Paul saw. Only then could the disciples be called Apostles. And they ALL did as seen here from 1 Corinthians

15.1  Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, ⁴ and then He was buried, and then He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, ⁵ and then (after that) He was seen by ^[a]Cephas, then by (the rest of) the twelve. ⁶ After that He was also seen by over five hundred brethren at once (Mathew 27.52), of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have ^[b]fallen asleep. ⁷ After that He was seen by James, then by all the would be apostles.(as THE qualifier) ⁸ Then last of all He was seen by me (Paul) also, as by one (of the 12) born in due time.” And that word “due” comes from the Greek word “idios” and more appropriately translated “self” or “own” and not so much “due“. So this passage clearly teaches each in their own time showing us the individualized and progressive purpose of the gospel. And if you think about it. It has to be like that, because everyone is born in their own time throughout time . For even as carnal births happens in their own (idiosyncratic) time and individually in their own time, because that’s what birthdays signify. They are all personal.

So, in the same way. If you have seen Christ, not in the flesh but by way of revelation or a bright light, same type of thing, then you have seen what the disciples saw of Christ after His resurrection. Paul also said that “the gospel I preach did not come by man, nor was I taught by man, but by revelation of Jesus Christ” to curtail your expectations of a reappearance of Christ in the flesh. He expired that notion withe the old Covenant.  Even as Christ told the disciples in John “from now on (meaning from this point forward) you have known Me and you have seen Me!” Meaning before that, whatever they saw was an incomplete portait.

So if you have recieved the testimonies left about Him as the one who is “the same yesterday, today and forever” and the one “who stands at the door and knocks” (Rev 3) then you too may qualify for many things, among such are being an Apostle.

Like all such giftings, they come by way of a new understanding by way of revelations in order as you are able to receive them, until you reach the full measure and stature of Christ. (Ephesians 4.13)

Now looking back at those who knew Christ before His formal resurrection and subsequent ascension, it made it difficult for those who knew Jesus as a man in human form, to see Him in His Natural element of Spirit and Truth, because flesh is what they believe Him to be then, and now they want Him to come back that way again even again like today. But that’s part of “the delusion with all lying signs and wonders if possible to decieve the elect” because “flesh and blood does NOT inherit the Kingdom”, another physical appearance is of zero value (1 Cor 15). We are not buying into that. What does He need to come back and do that He hasn’t done and doesn’t do today by His Word and Spirit as spelled out in scripture and broken down into consumable sound bites as you see here today, “today if you will hear His voice”.

Think of it from this perspective, it is humanly impossible for a flesh abiding person to talk to every human ever born throughout their lives all at the same time. For that reason Christ performs this task in His original composition of being “The Word of God” before the man He “was and is and is to come”! That way the gospel can be preached “throughout the ages unto the ends of the world” as scripture commands.

“The Kingdom of God is at hand”. This message only expires with the conclusion of this age. And a good way to understand when the conclusion of this age is, is when “The Kingdom of God at hand” no longer bears fruit of gaining new residents. That the true gospel as we espouse from scripture no longer makes sense.

Warning! Anyone adhering to another coming of Christ to “save the world” especially if you claim to be a Christian, you are in insubordination and probable judgment like the Jews of old because God would have to apologize to them for letting you do what they did in expecting a man King on earth because Christ had told them “you have correctly said I am King for as such I was born. For that they were removed. Remember them chiding Christ about being King and He replied “you have correctly said that I am King however My Kingdom is not from here” meaning of Earth’s weak composition and inferior design. However even at that point The Kingdom of God was at hand, meaning within reach as the alternative for them too.

It is in truth, by the truth and for the truth, that anyone who questions reality and seeks the Truth, not just a truth, who do NOT adhere to a modern view of another coming Jesus, is closer to “The Kingdom of God at hand” than those who claim to know Christ and expect the Kingdom to appear in a way to appease their carnal senses. Because in them the words are true that “they are neither entering the Kingdom, nor are they allowing  those who are trying to do so” because they admittedly are looking for something that is right here, right now–and they don’t even know it. And further more and more importantly, anyone claiming to be or allowing others to call them prophets or prophetesses who hold not this testimony of seeing Christ as we espouse, are false prophets and do not know the truth because seeing Christ as He is, is a prerequisite to be an Apostle and represent God and His ubiquitum called The Kingdom of God at hand.

In the end of The Revelation where John had seen an angel supposing him to be Christ. This should not be too surprising for even Paul said this to those in Galatians, that “my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an ^[e]angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.” This is Christ appearing through His many members of His body, dispersing and dispensing Him with the tools He had given us. This is the Gospel of Gods Kingdom. As Christ told the disciples “from now on you have known Me and you have seen Me” and those “who have seen me have seen The Father”. (John 14-16) Are you getting this?

Yes, even still, The Kingdom of God is at hand, and within reach in this way. Amen!

A Glorified Saint seen before the End of the Age. Is that possible? It is commonly thought that the glory given to Christ to give to the elect comes at the end of this age.

We have been going through a series of articles describing that our purpose on earth is to climb up and clamor out of the obstacles of our age, to lay hold of why Christ laid hold of us of things eternal. For us to be able to participate in His Glory more and more now as we do this. Does not scripture say “We are beholding as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord, and are being transfigured into His self same image from the Glory to the Glory as by the Spirit”? (2 Corinthians 3.18)  Shouldn’t we then know what the Glory is and how to enjoy it if not at least in part? That is if we are really (beholding) looking at Gods Glory and obtaining any of it.

If you remember Paul prayed for us in Ephesians 1. ¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, (because that’s the only way the Glory is transfered from God to us.) and ¹⁸ the eyes of your [f]understanding being enlightened; (meaning to see the invisible) that you may know what is the hope of His calling, (His Glory to be shared with us to know and experience in) what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹ and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to (meaning just like) the working of His mighty power ²⁰ which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ far above all principality[g] and [h]power and [i]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.” 

Once again we demonstrate here from 2 Peter 2 that “God has given us everything that pertains to life and Godliness (including His Glory) through the knowledge of Him who has called us to (share in His) Glory by virtue”. By virtue that you can learn to hear and understand that this is the goal of your pilgrimage here on earth as becoming the elect and the purpose of  the gospel. It is for the Glory, and not for us to focus on a second coming or an end time scenario as tho we are held bereft to the things of God till then, except by ignorance.

And ignorance doesn’t mean being stupid, but it does mean to NOT be aware or take seriously the gift God gave us as being this significant, that is repugnant. Hopefully here you can advance now with the Heavens wide open to take the spot here with your new name on it. Do not insult the spirit of grace by whom you’ve been sealed.

Now if we were to show you someone in scripture who was once a simple human, turned prophet, testifier and judge and then was actually mistaken as Yashua/Jesus Himself, would you believe that this type of person exists? And that this one could fool even one of the most regarded among the apostles into thinking that this one was Christ Himself, would you believe it? Not that this one was intentionally trying to fool John. He was just doing what comes naturally as being “a new creation in Christ” before this age expires. He looked into the mirror of scripture and put on to own what he saw. What are the chances of that?

I mean, John was seen seated with the ten others at the last supper. Judas now being gone, so 12 minus 1, minus John, equals ten. And the account says that John’s head rested in the bosom of Christ, he was that close. You can tell by John’s gospel, his three epistles and the book of “The Revelation of Christ” that John the Apostle knew Christ as well or better than anyone else.

So if John who knew Christ like that, and mistook another in Glory like Christ, and this one was so much so like Christ that he spoke in the first person indicative as Christ without insulting Christ Himself. How else would you describe someone who has displayed equal authority over the affairs on earth as “The Only Begotten Son of God”? Is this one a crook? A dreamer? Some kind of mistake? An imposter? No! This one was an accomplished specimen of the gospel before the “end times” as many look to for their completion. Can you believe this?

Doesn’t scripture say that in Christ dwelled the fullness of the Godhead body, and “you are complete in Him over all powers and principalities”? And “of His fullness we have received”? And that “God has given us every spiritual blessing in Heavenly places”, minus none, not even the Glory. And even from John 17 where Christ prayed to the Father on our behalf saying “Father, I want those whom you have given Me to be with Me where I am that they may behold My Glory”, “and Father, the Glory you have given Me I have given to them also that they may be one with us. Them in Me,I in you, and You in Me that the world may believe”? (For the exact account go to John 17). I think we have made this quite clear.

Having shown you here the allocation of our union to the Father and the Son, and Them giving us Their Glory and Their love, showing us that these are not with held for a future event.

And if you think that it’s strange that, that same glorified saint was employed as opening the last seven seal in “The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ” ends with this account

⁶ Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the ^[b]holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants (John and Us) the things which must shortly take place.

⁷ “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

⁸ Now I, John, ^[c]saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

⁹ Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. ^[d]For I am your fellow servant, and OF YOUR BRETHREN they prophets, and of THOSE WHO KEEP THE WORDS OF THIS BOOK. Worship God.” 

¹⁰ And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

(But when it is not and the doors are closed?) ¹¹   then let those who are unjust, let them be unjust still; those who are filthy, let them be filthy still; those who are righteous, let them ^[e]be righteous still; those who are holy, let them be holy still.”. What category do you suppose you are in?

We’ll end our discourse with Pauls words  from 2 Timothy 2. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the ^[a]elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

The Kingdom of God with Eternal Glory is at hand, in this way. If you can receive it if even just in part or momentarily, and it is right here right now. Amen!

The progression of Christ. Our Journey to our Father.

We learned early on about the birth of the Savior, Emmanuel and God in the flesh because that is what Emmanuel means, God is with us. That God took on human form and became one of us. Yes Word is another conception of who God is and how we can know Him. For this reason scripture says “and the Word became flesh and dwelled among us” like us and for us. However that was to be short-lived.

For this reason the gospel is progressive in nature, and beacons us onward and upward to a greater and larger understanding of who and what God really is, and in cooperating with the Holy Spirit, when we discover God, we recover ourselves as well. A baby in manger is a baby step into the Kingdom. That is only the introduction but there is a whole lot more.

We then learn of Christ as the inquisitive boy, who was not the Christ yet because Christ was a title for the job He had to do, however He is so much more. He stayed behind at the temple questioning the religious  authorities as His family left for home. When his parents realized he wasn’t with them on their journey, they came back and Jesus reasoning with his (Earthen) parents, they asked him what He was doing and He replied “I must be about My Father’s business. He knew He had another Father other than the carpenter.

We later see the Son of God in His 40 day stint in the wilderness doing what the Israelites couldn’t do in 40 years. It was there that He was offered by Satan all the kingdoms of the world and to Satan’s demise Christ left there with all of them anyway because He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He was born King but was incognito, He didn’t want to blow His cover, for them they would not have killed The Lord of Glory.

From that day forward He went into the temple and proclaimed that “the Acceptable year of our Lord is fulfilled in your hearing” which is the way all things are fulfilled and from there He also proclaimed “The Kingdom of God is at hand” as being synonymous. This is something that confused many because they thought their Jerusalem was God’s Kingdom. But nevertheless He proved Himself by healing the sick and raising the dead, to fulfill old testament expectations of the savior, because these are a few things a savior does. He did this to expire all the old testament prophecies, to fulfill and shelve the whole Old Covenant (of death through sacrifices) as being fruitless because of a “New and Living way” had been provided for us to the Father. “Be ye reconciled to the Father” is the true object of our faith and the purpose of the gospel. To be once again joined to the Father in the way that Adam and Eve had before they invested their faith into the counterfeit ruler of providers.

The rituals of killing animals were for teaching and removed as unnecessary. Even as God spoke through the mouth of Isaiah saying

However we can learn of the true sacrifice of faith in the heart when father Abraham (who pictured our Father in Heaven). Abraham, like God, delivered up his son Isaac as a sacrifice and Abraham said to Isaac “do not worry my son for God will provide us a sacrifice”.  And He did, He provided the Lamb that was stuck in the thicket, which was a picture of the law.

That is why Christ came as “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. To work His way through that briary stinging thicket of bushes called the law, as something no one else could ever do. And He did that to reverse the curse that separated us from the Father. To do away with the old testament law that made us good and dead and available to impliment the new that brings us life, eternal life. To trade one life for another, but make sure you do not still see Christ as dying.

The purpose of the cross was to shelve the Old Covenant Will and Testament, to Establish the New Covenant which when implimented, makes available to us our inheritance because the blood spilled for this Will and Testament was the hurt aimed at us that He took unto Himself. This provided to us our inheritance as the kin next in line. And because Christ experienced death at the cross, the inheritance was given. Yes the Creator God sent forth His only begotten, meaning the only one whose original source is eternity unlike the rest of Gods offspring.

“To as many as received Him (in this way) to them He gave power to become His children, even to those who (simply) believe in His name”. And we did not say “believed in His name” meaning past tense act, because we are beaconed to continue to believe in His name to each consecutive generation. (1 John 5) And we do this because the gospel was for that time and this time, and is progressive for all time, for each one in their own order of becoming saints.

If the gospel wasn’t progressive you would be immediately removed from this life but you have some learning and growing to do. And because scripture and the gospel is progressive you see The Son of God becoming a baby then growing up, and because scripture says “when we see Him as He is, we become like Him” we don’t want to be stuck worshipping a baby Jesus. Don’t stop there. Now, having come this far and understanding the progression of the gospel is a journey. That we are sojourners and pilgrims parabolically shown in the old testament, with the destination we call The Father.

We see Christ the man become the sacrifice Lamb “who takes away the sin of the world”. This is the one time the scripture that says “when we see Him as He is we will become like Him”. You don’t want to do that here because it was at the cross that He was NOT Himself. He took that on for our cause. He became the old you, He became the old me, He became all the sin and all the stench for all of mankind so that they would have a way out if they so choose.

Even in the old Covenant, the sacrifice was burned “outside the camp” as being infectious stinky and dispicable. We are not to stay focused on that. Even as Paul told the Romans that “God made Him who knew NO sin to become our sin, in order for us to become the righteousness of God that was in Him”. Having diffused the sin that leads to death He gives us life now, and not later. Otherwise you would not have professed (spoken into existence) that you are raised in newness of life as scripture commands. Unless maybe your leaders did not explain this to you correctly. You have your new being, and the gospel helps you learn how to use it. However because of this “those who have the Son have (eternal) life, and those who have not the Son have not life but the wrath of God abides on them.

What The Son of God did at the cross was to take every crime humanity would ever do onto Himself and became the pole, the tree and the cross where the lightning bolt of Judgment would land, with such precision and accuracy so as to neutralize any judgment, at least to as many as received Him. But what is hard to do is to relieve everyone from their self imposed separation from God of having a guilty conscience. Stop with your confessions at the cross! A sin focused conscience does not understand the cross.

God did not leave us in our sin. He did not leave us weeping at the cross begging for more forgiveness and crying and waiting for Him to come back to take you to a better place or a new level, rapture or whatever your eschatology may be, they are all wrong, because Today is the day of salvation and any salvation that is partial is a bandaid at best and leaves you struggling with sinning in your mind which is simply defined as unbelief. Unbelief puts you outside of Christ fending for yourselves.

For even the Israelites in Egypt and at the Exodus, meaning departure. After they applied the sacrificial blood to their door posts, they were suppose to eat the sacrifice in haste and get the heck outa there. Why? Like the cross, that belonged solely to Christ. As scripture confirms that our inequity was laid upon Him. He was striken for us all, and by His stripes we are healed. (Having already been given the healing in this lifetime).

For this reason we profess at baptism to be buried in the likeness if His death to be  meaning, resurrected in a new life because He became our sin for us to become His righteousness in Him. To be in Him in this way qualifies us to he “in Christ” “for even the angels in heaven behold the face of the Father in these little ones.

Now being passed the death and the resurrection is behind us having been provided to us through the cross.  We can now join Mary at the tomb, the stone rolled away, where no body lay. She then turns to one supposing him to be a gardener and asked him “where did you put my Lord. He exclaimed, Mary! And immediately she recognized it was her Lord and as if to try and hug Him He said “see that you do not do that because I have not yet ascended. But go tell thy brethren that I am ascended to My God and your God, to My Father and your Father”. You see He did not want Mary to cling or hold onto the wrong concept of who the Son of God is.

Every step that Christ took so far was to pull them out of themselves. Out of there death, out of sleep and indifference, ignorance and misunderstandings to arrive at the conclusion of the Gospel of being reconciled to The Father. Remember, when “we see Him we will become like Him because we shall see Him as He is” and he is no longer a baby, he is no longer a boy, he is no longer a just a prophet, He is no longer on the cross, He is no longer in the flesh and He is no longer in the tomb. DO NOT CLING TO THESE! “For I have ascended to My Father and your Father”. In a proverbial way Christ took your hand and put it into the hand of your Father too.

Side note: For this reason Paul in Timothy warned of those who say the resurrection is past, because it did happen with Christ and it did happen to many others, but that doesn’t mean you can’t expire the resurrection in yourself in your lifetime. In this way it is not past for some but for others it is. They ascend.

That is a point we are trying to make. That the gospel is progressive in purpose to “each one in their own order. Christ the first fruits then afterwards those who are Christ’s at His consecutive comings. (1 Corinthians 15)

That’s the glorious thing about scripture is that it meets everyone exactly where they are according to their need and abilities. That in actuality nothing is expired for you untill you receive it. That you move on in your own “transfiguration into His self same image from the Glory to the Glory by means of the Spirit”. 2 Corinthians 3.18 +

You can learn to expire in your mind those incidents as bygone conclusions, and reach for a greater understanding.

You can then realize if you understand this teaching, you will be able to see the book of Romans as an explanation of the expiration and the purpose of the whole old Covenant. That it is emphatically expired and shelved for historical reference only,  then to reach out NOT for the “Anastasia” the Greek word for resurrection but the “ex-anistadsia. Meaning out-of the resurrection”. Or a better term is the ascention. This  concept from the Greek taken from Philippians chapter 3.

So there is a difference from being resurrected and being raised up together in Heavenly places, which is the ascention and NOT the resurrection. You go from being dead to the things of God, to being alive, awake and spiritually alert, to then to go on to arise (which is your ascension) to take possession of the gift given. This is the Prodigal coming to their senses. The Father sees them a long way off, goes to meet them and says “this one of Mine was lost but now coming to their senses they are found. Therefore prepare a feast and cloth them with the finest attire and we will celebrate. For even the angels in Heaven resound in praise and jubilation at the arrival of anyone of God’s children to reach these truths and conclusions and closeness to the Father. Not conclusions, but THE conclusion because The Father is the end of the gospel. For the Kingdom is preached and the violent (or aggressive) take it by force).

Even as James said “recieving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls”. Your invisible parts stitched together with His to be indistinguishable one from the other. As Christ said follow Me that where I am ye may be also.

…Paul’s letter to the Romans was Paul expiring the resurrection, which is the first big leap. But even the first, or basic tenant of our faith is baptism which is nothing more then the conclusion of the old because both the baptism and the old Covenant take you to the same crossover point. The resurrection is different from the ascention, and our main point with Christ after His resurrection He said “do not cling to Me yet” do not stop and camp here for “I am ascending”.

…The Son of God having us follow us this far. Through the sin and death of the cross, to the burial and the resurrection they were not in limbo. “Tell them I have ascended? To My Father?. You have the resurrection, do you want the ascention? Because many don’t. They sit and wait like it’s like an intermission at a movie for the second half and they call it a second coming. But Christ said “do not cling to Me now” meaning you can do better. I am ascending to the Father. Didn’t He say in John to ” follow Me that where I am you may be also”? Are you now ready for the ascention? This is the reason we were left the comforter and helper who “will take what is mine and manifest it to you”.

…From now on you have known Me and you have seen Me! And “Those who have seen Me have seen the Father”. And our Father is God. “Let us make man in our image and likeness”? Our God and Father

The object of the faith was always the Father. Even as Paul said of our Father God. “Our Father who art in Heaven”?

“No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.” And if you remember it was John the disciple (He had not earned his apostleship yet) he was seen with his head in the bosom of Christ because Christ is the bosom of God our Father. The Son declared God because they had a heart to heart connection, as do we.

¹⁸ Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, ¹⁹ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the (residents of the) world to Himself, not ^[d]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” Reconciliation means linked back together, to become one. And in case it is heart to heart and not like a place or a building because they said “I will never leave you or forsake you” we don’t have to go somewhere to get this, and we don’t have to wait as though it is in the making. “Be ye reconciled”.

²⁰ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf (in His stead), be reconciled to God. ²¹ For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, for us become the righteousness of God (that resides) in Him.” For us to be on Him and with Him in the here and now, without faltering.

And as John finished his epistle with the Father, so too he started out with these words, “² the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— ³ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. ⁴ And these things we write to you that ^[a]your joy may be full.

All things the Father has are ours. This is The Kingdom. Amen!

What is Godly and Godliness? And what does it mean for us to be godly in accordance with scripture?

The use of the word “godly” simply means God focused and driven to be like and emanate. So a life given to Godliness, is one in harmony and compliance to godliness. And this is generally according to scripture. This is the primary purpose of scripture is to re-image us into what God designed for us to be from the beginning, a look alike according to scripture, another represent or re-present the Father who said “let Us make man in our image”. This image was lost “in Adam” and found “in Christ”. That is why you want to be found “in Christ,”.

The word “accord” and “according” means in compliance and in harmony with. As this relates to the God of scripture, we are to be in compliance and harmony, meaning to harmonize and synchronize, with the things written therein. To become one with. As John put it “to know Him even as we are known” is to know Him as we know ourselves.

The book of James says that “we are Begotten by the word of Truth to be a kind of first-fruits of His creation”, or to become a new creation, meaning a harvestable ripe, juicy fruit, just like and “in accordance or compliance to godliness, being re-imaged like God.

Paul put it like this, “If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with (agrees with harmonizes and produces) godliness”. This is to correctly use scripture for this cause of our transformation, which is synonymous with transfiguration.

And scripture is not an idolistic notion. An idol is an object thought to possess power. And however scripture conveys power to our understanding that accords to godliness, without the proper integration of this godliness, or an ownership of a god-like-ness, scriptures and the bible itself just becomes idolistic and not idealistic.  “having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! Idols in escence is falsely placed power. It is that you have the power in yourself to wake up to be like the Father, you own branch of god-like-ness in the here and now, but to idolize is that you give that object, thing or person a power that came from you by subjecting yourself to another. And to idolize God the Father is not a loss of self power like with and idol, but He explains and amplifies some things that are dormant and resident in you, usually tucked in behind fear. With fear being neutered, you are no longer handicapped but more fully opened up for development that accords, or harmonizes with the Godhead body of whom you are called to associate with as your primary reason in exist in a developmental stage. Once you are done in this creation, there are things that can no longer grow and develop. That is why we are called to work on our own salvation with fear and trembling” instead of being an onlooker for another event from Heaven..

And such is the case in our day. People idolize Not so much the the gospel that accords (leads) to godliness”, but seem to be either be stuck in confessions and kneeling at the cross, or idle waiting for a second coming saving Savior to do something for you as though His first saving was on part, but He said at the cross “it is finished” and He didn’t mean just the first chapter. This is a faithless place to be and is akin to any idol worship being any object that you look at thinking that God dwells in that.

The bible and Gods words itself should be viewed as the only thing that can keep you alive and on track. You should consume the content untill it’s NOT second nature but first nature and the new nature because that’s the new you and that’s the truth. You should shred up God’s word and wear it out. That is the only Manual that can instruct you to “put off your old man” and put on your new person imaged like Christ, in true righteousness and Holiness, that accords to godliness.

Like Peter said that ” You do well to pay attention to it as to a light that shines in a dark place (your mind and heart) till the dawning of this age happens and the morning star (being the first light rays of various revelations of Christ) rises in your hearts”. Because “it is with the heart that one must hear and see to understand the things of God”. So there are your tools.

So to be Godly is someone whose focused on God, to become god-like or godly, to emulate and imitate. And some would say, well wasn’t man from the beginning made like God, in an image like God in Adam and Eve? Yes for tutorial purposes only. True godliness would not include a physical “image” to be like God because God has a different composition for us to be like Him we call “spirit and truth”. That is why the root word of “imagination” is to “imagine“, means to develope an image not of stone, but through mental constructs that we obtain from scripture and transfer to the mind, because it is in the mind where the transfiguration into the “image” of God takes place. It has to be etched or scribed (scripture) on your heart. And because “in the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God.” His words are what we become, but more than just the words, but the things the words describe. Otherwise we would not truely become godly, but just talk about it and recite it with no real change. However if you can talk about godliness with great ease, it is because the author of that word has given you authorization, as long as you don’t attach your old self to it.

This is why “if anyone is in Christ they are a new creation, old things pass away and all things become new”. And the “new” is the new image that accords (looks just like) to godliness

Just as Paul taught in Romans 12, be ye transfigured by the renewal of your mind.

And quite differently than like a fairy tale, which generally means tales of fallen fairies because fairies generally have superhuman cognitions that kids are taught about. So the point here is that the image or imaging of God, takes place in the mind and what is called the heart, describing our invisible parts….

But that too does not refer to your physical heart that goes thump, thump, but your seat of emotions, because that too is invisible like the seat of your thoughts called the mind, so that your thoughts and affections, being your heart and mind, these are the components you have now to clearly associate, ruminate to articulate and manifest the will of God

So then to become godly and god-like indicates that a person has obtained the mindset and emotions that come from a relationship with God, as God relates to us internally first and then eternally then externally.

This is why Christ warned us in scripture of those who scattered his flock, “they will say, look here and look there, DO NOT go after THEM but behold, the Kingdom of God is within you”. And if you can think, ponder and construct these concepts in your mind with scripture, to conseptsualize God’s things in this way, then you’ve made a suitable home for Gods word and Holy Spirit. Even as Christ said in the book of John “if you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you can ask what you want and it shall be done for you.” And “we will come to you and make our home in you”. This is abiding “in Christ” and Christ abiding in you.

This is the oneness, the koinania 1 John describes of being one with God through Christ. The word koinania is Greek and also used for intercourse. “that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship/koinania with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

If you remember God made all of creation in 6 days. Therefore God cannot be a creation as such, because Creation is something that is made after God by God. And if God is of this creation of created things, then who made this god you are referring to?

A designer, fabricator, maker and maintainer existed prior to creation. And that one said “Let there be light” first, because that light existed with God before anything of creation was made. So light was thing that came from God because every other mandate for creation was “let there be” and it was so . So light is the first from the source as a delivery mechanism from the eternal almighty God.

John says that Christ was “the true light that cometh into the world”. And even the Testimony about John the Baptist was, “he was not that light, but he was sent to bare witness of that light, He is the true (original) light that shines in the heart of every man.” Something the sun can’t even do.

So if Gods first expression was something, and the one and only thing that came forth from the Father, and that expression is light, then truely “God is light and in Him is no darkness”. And because God is light, then the Son who was and is a byproduct of the Father, who was in the beginning, is light Himself, and this rightly so. For this reason Christ said “those who’ve seen Me have seen the Father”. This shows us that both the Father and the Son from the beginning are light. Even as it also says that “He is the light that shines in every one’s heart”. From this we can understand that we are not speaking about a light such as we have, or even like the noon day sun. Those rays can’t shine in a heart. That’s the wrong composition because light rays of Earth’s realm fray and diffuse.

So when Saul/Paul was blinded by a light brighter than the noon day sun, where do you suppose that came from? That is right. And it did not fray and diffuse because after all that time it converts the souls of willing observers even now.

From these we can ascertain that God is light, but not like the light of this age but far superior and brighter. This is what God was like. This is what God is. Even as it is told that Gods Jeru-shalom has “no need for the sun because the Lamb is it’s light.” So even the sun has no place in this place we are inviting you to because it is other worldly. It’s made up of things eternal that were really not made but just exists.

Now then, when we’re asked, what is Godliness? Like all of Gods work it starts with light, but like all of Gods elements and features, the carnal man cannot understand them for “they must be spiritually discerned” and NOT carnally assimilated. Even as Paul said that “the gospel I preach to you did not come from man, nor was it taught by man but by revelation of Jesus Christ”. Therefore we can understand that the word “revelation” is associated with That Light whom we know as Jesus Christ. Not so much that revelation is that light as much as revelation is what happens when Gods light shines into your heart and mind, which are escentially referring to our invisible part that cannot be seen by anyone else, because “eye has not seen, not has ear heard the things that God has for those who love Him, but God has revealed them to us by His Spirit, yah even the deep, and hard to understand, things of God.

It is God alone who truely knows what is in the hearts and minds of everyone, including the data crunchers and info gatherers, forecasters and predictors of the day.

Paul said in his beginnings, for we know in part and we see in part and we prophecy in part but when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be taken out of the way, and then we will know even as we are know. And that which was “in part” was not referring to creation but your old carnal understand. That we will know (God) even as we are known. This is absolutely correct. “We beholding as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord are being transfigured into His same Image, from the Glory to the Glory as by the Spirit”? This has absolutely nothing to do with creation as you know carnally. We have a different knowing, a different understanding and a different assimilation and activation than such is common to man outside of scripture.

 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. ¹⁰ But when that which is ^[d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

¹¹ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ¹² For now (being unperfected) we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part and I see in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.” Yes, to know God as we know ourselves.

As said Paul so say we, we are “a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness,

This is the gospel completed in us that accords to godliness, to be a duplicate and re-presentation. Amen!
