The Keys to the Ascension.

The Gospel message of the One and Only Christ began after His Baptism by John, to go forward and preach that “The Kingdom of God is at hand” as something different from The Old Covenant, Will  and Testament. It was the disciples who turned into apostles as being the replacement of the prophets and of the previous old age of that worn out and expired Jerusalem.

Christs baptism was the completion of the first phase of work He had to do to expire The Old Will and Testament. To then take on the failure and the judgment associated with it by taking it to the cross, as He absorbed all the judgment for the Law era failure and all of mankind, in order for them all  to have equal access of salvation through the cross, including the gentile nations of the world. John 3.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. That the “whosoever” was without prejudice or exclusions or limitations.

We make this point because the “END days”, to mean the “END TIMES of the last days”. It was the “last days” that started with the institution of the New Covenant, to have that run its course, will be a reversion and a return to the re-expectations of the Old expired testament promises so that the Old and New covenants would be blurred together by the “END TIMES” believers, so as to mix the ages together to the point of expecting another earthen kingdom. But NO! It is emphatically just the END time for the gentiles. Because if God honors the “END times believers today, He has to make reparations to the Jews of old for judging them and destroying them. But, that is not gonna happen. God is not at fault here, but the END time leaders are.

As from the book of Hebrews, “12 But to as many as received Christ), to them gave he power to become the offspring of God, even to them that believe on his name: With out exclusions. And it is the “power to become” is where we pick up at AFTER we are resurrected from being dead in regard to faith first, then we were given “power to become” something eternally greater than what we were before receiving the gift of God “in Christ”. Which is something far superior to just a “Raised back up”type of… resurrection,meaning only lifted back up from the fall of humanity in Adam, “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: As the intended destination of the full application of the gospel we can receive before our carnal shedding.This is not to be confused with putting off thr body of the sins of thr flesh” which is a body of beliefs based on carnal thinking from a mind that has not been renewed. Being renewed in the spirit of the mind, is to  be “raised” to sit in heavenly places” as having to do with the Ascension., as something different from and  additional to being raised from the dead as having to do with being made alive as pictured in Baptism.

This is why we say the ascension has been stolen. This happened by those who carried forward the scriptures from their first use language. This doesn’t have to mean that it is devious so much but a natural outcome from those who transpose scripture to other languages who have NOT understood what they are trying to transpose.

To be raised from the dead, to then be raised to heavenly places are two different concepts of the one and same gift, of being fully reconciled and seated in Heavenly places in Christ. This is THE full gospel. Anything that stops you short of this goal to accomplish during your tenure, or your sojourning, and your lifetime here in the flesh, is likely to have something to do with the assorted distractions that are designed to “send the spies out the other way” as being disingenuous, as we saw with Rehab.

Warning; If you are using scripture for something other than “to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” and growing in godliness, it is you that may be categorized as a “disingenuous seeker” for having the wrong motives.

The resurrection was just a replacement of “all The Law and The Prophets, that were added till faith comes” as stepping into the invisible. But after faith comes ( Hebrews 11.1), you are no longer under the Law. Not just the 10 commandments, but all the feasts, places, persons and things as well. Because if there is a separation of belongings in a divorce, how much more so with the expiration of the Old Covenant. And also so, with a “Last Will and Testament” as having to do with a death where a settlement has been made of the estate. The estate that has been bequeathed to us is “The Kingdom of God at hand”. Meaning, within reach. This is the New Will, Testament and Covenant.

For this reason, we do NOT mix the two Covenants, just as we do NOT intermingle the resurrection from the dead, and being raised back up to Heavenly places, which means “having ascended”, past tense as an accomplish-able, end of the Gospel goal to be manifest now! This is the full purpose of the gospel. That God has given us everything that pertains to (eternal) life and godliness though knowing Him who has called us to (share His) glory and virtue”. A word that means pure and clean. And from Hebrews, “having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

This is the restoration of the Fall that started in the Garden where Adam fell and bestowed that image as the prototype on all born in the fallen image of Adam. Meaning, Christ’s became one of us to reverse that curse and gift the “Resurrection” to all who chose to receive it. But this is NOT the full gospel. The full gospel includes the Ascension to the Father to complete the circuit and purpose of the gospel, being completed “images of God”. To be “living stones built up a habitation of God in the spirit. And God is not of creation, creation only facilitates this process while we have our carnal reasoning and decision making abilities to do so.

For you see it was Christ, the only Begotten’s purpose for us to ascend to the Father too. For He had told the twelve the night before the betrayal to “follow Me that where I am you may be also” as an attainable goal.

But here is where the confusion comes in today because scripture in its modern rendition does not clearly make the distinction between the “being raised from the dead”, different from being raised far above all principalities and powers”. This loss happened not so much just because of ill intent. It is likely that too but the term “raised”, “rise” and “resurrect” have all been discombobulated and mixed together so that the rightful objective of “being seated far above all principles and powers”, and entering our rest, is our “Heavenly Jerusalem” that as been misconstrued. This is why people are expecting another comig Jesus to finish saving through another carnal visitation associated with an end times saving in addition to the cross and scripture only supports that view if you take expired scriptures to anticipate them again. But the question begs to be asked. Did the Christ save  us in an absolute way or not? Be careful how you answer that. Are we not told to “reach out to lay hold of why Christ laid hold of us? To “press in to obtain all the riches in Christ”?

We were warned that “wicked men and impostors would grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived”. And along with all the new translations and teachings drawn out over the years, the Ascension became so obscure to be blurred in with the resurrection from the dead. But make no doubt about it, the Ascension is our goal and responsibility as becoming a saint.

Do you understand the difference between the Resurrection and the Ascension?. Because our progenitor told us to “follow Me that where I am you may be also”. So if you are left floundering and waiting, looking for another dose of God, Examine yourself as to if you are in the faith or not? Are you pressing in? Be careful not to be deceived, seduced or side tracked with carnal expectations while this time pass you by and you be counted with the slothful stewards. Their demise was to be cast into outer darkeness where there was wailing and gnashing of the teeth as they recollected the lost opportunities.Remember what Christ told those who delayed to eneter the bridal chamber. And after it closed they asked Him to open up and He replied “depart from Me you workers of inequity. I do not know you from where you are from”. Ouch!

A second coming Jesus mindset, is the mindset that says “my Lord delays His coming. These are those who have not nor can not Ascend, for that mindset is the blockage to rise to Heavenly places in Christ, as having nothing to do with the atmosphere but the spirit of the mind, the place of our renewal.

It is they who fall for a second coming dose, from a man in the flesh called Jesus, to provide a second saving to save them again as if the cross was insufficient. They are believing in an oxymoron because the saving happened at the resurrection from the dead, but the Ascension is your responsibility after you have been “born again”. That right now is the time for your do over that Adam spoiled for us. And that is us now resurrected to “put on Christ” one revelation after another until the gift is fully acquired through “faith and patience”. As we ascend to our Heavenly inheritance in this way. To acknowledge ourselves at the conclusion of the gospel, at the right hand of the Father “far above all powers and principalities in Heavenly places “in Christ”. This is our ascension and the end gain of the gospel that has been closed from our minds by false gospels.

For how else could the Kingdom of God be at hand, within reach and attainable if these were not truths from scripture itself. But you decide, you persue, you press in on your own “each one in their own order. And from The Book of Hebrews “4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
