What Does it Mean to be In Christ?
In Christ is where All the Heavenly Blessings are. In God’s eye, you are either in Adam or in Christ. And because Christ is also “The Word of God”, and Wedded to the Spirit of God, then we who are In The Holy Spirit, and in The Word God. It is us who are emersed in the Godhead body in this way. And as such, we see the things that are here, and because it is here that we are re-imaged in the likeness of The Only Begotten, we are able to expound more clearly out there who we are. Even as Christ said “I and the Father are One”? We have The Father like that. And “In Christ dwells the fullness of the Godhead body”? This we find is true. That scripture also called The Word of God includes us as well saying “And you are complete in Him who is head over (and above) all powers and principalities”. To mean that we can have that too!
That there is no other time coming in the future, or another other dispensation of a saving of any sort but of “The Salvation once and for all delivered to the saints”. There is no Savior coming in the future as many suppose with the “Second coming hoax”. You cannot find the phrase in Scripture. Christ was the first to proclaim “The Kingdom of God at hand”, and He never retracted that statement. There are only two covenants, Old and The New and living way to The Father”. For believers to just hold out and hang on in hopes of helping from another dispensation of “saving”, are counted as rejecting the saving by The Savior at the cross. It was there with His carnal deaths last words were “,It is finished”. To mean Salvation and the reversal of the curse passed on to all of us from Adam.
So for Him to have to rescue or save in any other way is blasphemous because He is “seated in the Heavens waiting for His enemies to become His footstool” because of the finality of His saving act at the Cross to include the end of time as we know it. For He had said “Lo I am with you always, even though out the ages”, for us to understand what it means when we say that “The Kingdom of God is at hand”.
For those who profess Christ, and still look to be raptured or lifted out, or any other type of rescuing, are unknowing, unaware or even insubordinate to the saving Savior who paid the price for all, for all time.
And if they persist? Let them be counted as those who were invited to the wedding feast, which is the Wedding chamber where God’s Holy Word and Holy Spirit become one as John the Baptist, the best friend, cousin, witness and officiator of that wedding said “I beheld the Holy Spirit of God come down like a dove to (Eternally) remain upon Him”.
But it is those who in turn went to the world for its counterfeit types of godliness that appeal to the flesh. So then for them to come back to the Wedding chamber, to say “open up to us”. For them to hear the shameful words “depart from Me ye workers of inequity, I do NOT know you where you are from, for you are not mindful of the things of God but of men.” They put on the wrong clothing for this wedding because “flesh and blood does NOT inherit the Kingdom”,.. but the re-spirited mind of faith does. Those of this sort entered “The Kingdom of God at hand”, knowing fully well what to put on and how. We have our wedding garments on. And because The Son of God is also The Word of God. When we put on the Son, we put on Bridegroom attire meaning Word, and more specifically God’s Word His Son.
This is putting on the very genetics of the Father found in The Son and how the two are One, with the Son saying “I and the Father are One”. And those who have seen Me HAVE SEEN THE FATHER”. And because”you are complete in Him” to mean “as we see Him as He is (Word), we shall become like Him for we see Him as He is”.
This ALL takes place in The Bridal Chamber where the two are One. That here we become sons and daughters of The Bridal Chamber, as co-equals and “joint heirs “in Christ” and of Christ.” That being in the Word and Spirit is this invisible, eternal, Heavenly place also called “Heavenly Jerusalem, The Mother of us all, come down of God from Heaven (in the spirit of our minds) to remain upon us as She did with The Only Begotten. And because it was at that time that the Heavenly Father said “This is My Only Begotten Son in whom I am well pleased”. For those of us who are “in Christ” in this way? Then this is our time that our Heavenly Father is “well pleased” with us because they see their reflection in us.
And if you want to make sure that you are on the right track with the right pursuit with the correct wedding attire, this can only be accomplished as we’ve just described. That you must put on Christ, one word at a time, one revelation at a time, one truth at a time. And remember that “flesh and blood does NOT inherit the kingdom.” But the re-spirited mind of faith does.
The Wedding is not a social event so much, but happens to each one of us in our own order of our arrival to these truths in our own time. This might be time for you? So that then you too are one in the Godhead body as Family, far above all carnal powers and pursuits “In Heavenly places in Christ.” Then what Hebrews 12.22 states, can be true for you. And you too can say that “The Kingdom of God is at hand” NOW! That “Today is the day of Salvation”. That”The Kingdom of God is at hand”, “,Today if you can hear His voice, harden not your hearts as they did in the wilderness and were destroyed, because?
Hebrews 12.
We are more than invited to the Wedding Chamber. We are Family! We are Sons and Daughters, “fellow citizens and Saints, members of the Household of God”, who worship God in Spirit and Truth, for The Father seeketh such.
Here is John the Baptist testimony of the marriage of the Lamb of God and His Bride, as having happened in their day too, because that was their time of visitation. That “wherever two or more are Gathered in My Name, there I am in their midst. This is The Kingdom of God at hand”. To mean within reach but not to be apprehended in a physical way.
And from Revelation…
29 He that hath (past tense) the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend (John the Baptist, best man last Prophet and cousin of Christ) bridegroom, which standeth and heareth Him, rejoiceth greatly because of the Bridegroom’s voice: therefore my joy is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
And again with John at the end of the Revelation of Christ which God gave His servant John to testify of Christ, and the Glories that would follow”. To mean us because”we are transitioned into the self same image from the Glory to the Glory as by the Spirit, where y’all of this takes place! And that book closes with “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
