Jesus Christ in John 4. said that salvation was of the Jews. And it’s here that one could be confused into thinking that the Jews possessed salvation the whole time, but that is not the case. They were looking for it too. For if they would have had salvation the whole time then they would know what it is. But they did not. The question is do we?
You see if salvation was something easily to be grasped, then why is there so much confusion about it even today?
Salvation means saving, and many people think this happens at a second coming, that Jesus Christ comes then to rescue us because that’s what a savior does. A savior saves. To this the Jews were looking for.
But “God so loved the world that He sent his only begotton son into the world not to condemn the world but to save it”. (John 3.16+17) So according to scripture as seen here, that event has taken place. And that event was The Son at the cross. This is God’s saving and cure for all humanity. Even as 1 John 2.1 says that “He is the propitiation for the whole world”. Each one of us needs to go there for the saving of God. Each one in our own order at our own appointed time of visitation, so we hope you are listening so your time does not pass you by.
You see salvation is not a thing. It is not an object or an event. It is not the culmination of time but a person. Salvation is of the Jews, because they were the delivery mechanism by which it (He) came. And once again salvation is not an event but a person, so you know where to go.
The old Covenant says that there would be “one who would come forth from them who is from old of everlasting”, meaning an eternal one. They were also told that the Savior/Messiah would come whose name was Shiloh. That he would come riding on a foal of a colt. The Jews did not possess salvation because they rejected it because that “it” was a “Him”. They were looking for a king in Royal apparel and rejected the pauper “on a foal of a colt”.What are you expecting?
So why would we say that the Jews were only the delivery mechanism? That they did not possess Him? Because they collectively rejected Him out of their own words “Then all the people said, His blood be upon us and our children” “Matthew 27.25”
To set the record straight, Savior came from the Jewish system, but they in their totallity rejected Him. This is why Jesus said “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones all those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!35 See!Your house is left to you desolate;. They did not know their time of visitation, and for this they were denied, put out of business, condemned and destroyed. “Till not one stone was left upon
Even as John said “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But to as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become His children, even to those who believe in His Name”. That is those of all Nations that the scripture calls Gentiles.
Here is what Paul had to say about The Savior being a person and not an event “Fellow children of Abraham and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
And “Therefore I want you to know that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”
So when Paul says “salvation is of the Jews: this is what he meant. If the Jews actually possess salvation they would not have been replaced. Even as it says in Hebrews “if the word spoken through Angels prove steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received its just reward, what makes us think we shall escape if we neglect such a great salvation that was first spoken of by the Lord and confirmed to those who heard him by the power of the Holy Spirit”. Such are we. The Lord spoke it first, not the jews. The Jews couldn’t even hear it.
Salvation simply put is a person. And that person is the one the scriptures called Jesus Christ. He is the Christ, the Messiah, the Savior. Meaning He is the one who saves. He is the deliverer and the rescuer to the one who has faith in Him.
As a matter of fact that’s what the word Jesus traced back through its roots through the Greek and into the Hebrew means “the one who saves”. In Hebrew God’s name and savior comes from the same base word.
In the book of Hebrews when speaking of Joshua from the old Covenant, the Greek word that is used there is the exact same one we use for Jesus. (Hebrews 4.8) And it was said of this one that “He shall save my people” and He didn’t save the Jews.
Simply put, the savior saves people from the demise of all their fears, to the one who has faith in Christ. And Christ did a great job of that at the cross. He delivered all the goods that God in the beginning gave to Adam that he squandered. Christ’s last words at the cross were ” it is finished”. And we know that payment for the sins of the whole world was rendered and accepted because Christ was raised from the dead to die no more. What all the blood sacrifices dimly portrayed for all Israel then the Jews, was hanging their limp and dead for all of mankind, meaning Gentiles, to look upon and be saved in purpose, for all would be believers to receive salvation the person and not an event. It does not matter if you claim to be Jewish or Christian, if you think the saving from Earth is the saving at a coming event, maybe like at the proverbial second coming? Or for the Jews they expected that at the first coming, because you expect an event you are both equally lost and deserving of the same demise. The Jews were cut off because “they knew not their time if visitation” and if you believe the same thing your demise is the same.
Don’t you think that if Christ comes to earth again as a man to display a dynamic grand introduction arrayed in Royalty, that He would owe the Jews a huge apology? That it’s okay to expect that now? Is that the knife of saving from planet Earth you expect? Then you too, like the Jews, reject God’s Christ.
Hebrews 10.29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
NKJV Genesis 15.1 The Lord came to Abraham saying “I am your Shield, your exceedingly great reward.” Throughout history Abraham is referred to as the father of faith. Abraham passes on to us the Promises given to him by the Lord.
When God gave promise to Abraham saying, “I am your Shield your exceedingly great reward,” those who believe in like manner have this promise as well.
What makes His Shield exceedingly great is that it is far superior to all the shields of this world. If God made a shield, or a force field, what could get past Him as though you could sneak up behind Him? What could penetrate or void His terms and conditions? What could negate God’s obligation to perform His word over and above Him? As if there is something or someone more powerful than God? Our faith is our only obstacle to implementing His words. You doubt His Word and seek protection elsewhere.
The term “Shield” was used because that was the common vernacular of the day. When a soldier went out to battle, it was his Shield that would protect him and ward off all the fiery darts. Even as Paul said in Ephesians 6. 16 to “put on the shield of Faith which is able to ward off all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Other Shields are not able to do this. This is what Paul was referring to. The shield of faith. This is what Abraham received when God explained it to him.
This Shield of faith is an invisible force field, able to throw off all the fiery darts of the wicked. It is able to also put us outside of harm’s reach of many other things. It is equal to our participation in our personal sanctification. Which is? To abstain and purify ourselves from the counterfiet provisions of today.
When Christ prayed to the Father in John 17.16 to keep His people from evil, the Father answered that prayer then because He always heard the Only Begotten. John 11.42
Christ defined those who were recipients of this sanctification saying, “Father these whom you have given Me are not of this world just as I am not of this world.” (John 17.14) We are distinguished from those of this world because we are cloaked with Gods word, which is eternally greater than the protectors and providers the world has. All of Gods promises are summed up in this one saying, “I will never leave you or forsake you. (Hebrews 11.42) What better protection can you get? God wants us to have full assurance and reliance in Him and on Him. He doesn’t need any help. What ever we face, God has it covered. He has it covered for the whole world. 1 John 2.1
Our Shield is our dependency in God to make good on His Word of shielding and protecting us from the evils of this world and fulfilling His word, which He does. God is faithful to His faithful to the uttermost. We are those “who follow the lamb where ever He goes”. (Revelation 14.4)
What does this all mean? Simply this, if you put on the force fields and shields of this age to provide and protect yourself, instead of Gods, you are committing spiritual adultery.
Spiritual adultery sets you outside of the safety net of God’s promises and His Shield of faith. Sounds crazy, but the choice is yours.You can be in God’s good hands, or in the not so good hands of a counterfeit coverage provider.
Like Christ spoke to the church of Laodicea, Revelation 3.17 “Because you say, ‘I am rich, I have become wealthy, and I have need of nothing (because you cover yourself with worldly policies) But you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked’. You have put yourself outside of the protection agencies of God.
So it is with many professing faith in God today. They don’t have much to offer that differentiates themselves from the world or other religions. Having faith in Christ is not a religion it’s a new creation. So our wares and our solutions are different. As the heavens are higher than the earth so God’s ways are higher than man’s ways. We the elect are in the world but not of the world so our association is not as such. The things God freely gives us do not have maintenance fees or monthly payments.
Revelation, woe to the inhabitants of the Earth for Satan’s coming down having great Wrath”. But it is us who heard the call to “come out of her my people lest you partake in her sins and receive of her judgments”. It is those who cloth themselves with the safety nets of this age who are under judgment, but there are those of us who dwell in the Heavens by clothing ourselves in the invisible things that God has said, which seats us with Him eternal in the Heavens.
We are those who take possession of the things God has given us. “It is the Fathers good pleasure to give us the Kingdom, so we take ownership of “the things God has freely given to us”. “For the Kingdom is preached and the violent take it by force”. Not being forceful to God but taking Him at His word. We press into Him and resist all others. This is what pleases God. Our participation in the invisible is our Stock in the eternal. While we look not to the things that are seen but to those which are invisible.
The god of this age comes and he has no part in us. Whose working is according to satan. We “overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony” of the things God has taught us . How far away is heaven? A twinkling of the eye. We are those who are in heaven and whose names are written in the Book of Life. We have become “pillars in the House of our God”.
We have dual citizenship in that we not only dwell in heaven, but also dwell on Earth. However the events on earth have no hold over us. We were once children of Wrath but now we are no more.That which is flesh is flesh, that which is spirit is spirit. You must be born again. And we were. We are a new composition of spirit and truth.
Scripture says this about Christ, as He is so are we in this world. As He is, not meaning as he was when he was in the flesh, but as He is in Heaven so are we on Earth. He has assumed his role in heaven from where he began. And there He sits and awaited the elects arrival one by one each in their own order. (1 Corinthians 15)
Some of us have clamored up the things of “has God has really said” and sat down with Him. We ceased from our own works as God did from His. His words are true, reliable and trustworthy. This is our testimony. His word did not return to Him void. It accomplished all His desire and brought us with it. We are reconciled to the Father in this way.
This is why Hebrews refers to those who are in Heavenly Jerusalem and Mount Zion called the spirits of just men made perfect. We are just people, but we are perfected in the Spirit of our mind to wholey interact with God in Spirit and truth because the Father seeks such. (John 4)
When scripture says woe to the inhabitants of the Earth for Satan is coming down to you having great Wrath. We are not subject to that. We have passed from Death To Life. Satan is coming down having great wrath to the children of wrath of the Earth because they have rejected this Heavenly calling.
The Old Testament talks of how Moses would go in and out of the Tabernacle speaking to God. But then it makes specific mention of Joshua who never departed from the Tabernacle (Exodus 33.11). It was Joshua who was always in the Tabernacle with God where ever he went because God was always Tabernacling in Him. Even as it says in John one of Christ rendered correctly From from the Greek that “Christ became flesh and tabernacles among us”. He is here even now, inside our very selves. He is the “lo I am with you always, even throughout the ages”. As He said “I will never leave you or forsake you”.
The Book of Revelation refers to those who overcame, that became pillars in the house of our God. Who is he who overcomes the world? He who believes Christ came in the flesh” and need not do so again. And so we are. We are pillars because we uphold the principles and truths and realities that make up the ubiquitous invisible Living God in whom Tabernacles in US.
He who says “I will never leave you or forsake you” need not appear in a way that’s common to human senses for it to be true or not. Romans says “He is the God gives life to the dead and calls the things that are not as though they are, because they are for us. As Christ is so are we in this world? This is our concurring reality. We see Satan’s Works around us, but it is not directed at us nor does it have any effect on us according to what God has promised. Psalm 91
Scripture instructs us the elect to not be concerned about what we shall eat or what we shall wear for even the Lilies of the field are arrayed with much more Glory than Solomon himself and how much more value are We than he. We are instructed not to be concerned about food, for he has given us the bread of eternal life. And he is also promised that not a hair of our head shall be hurt.
When John the Baptist announced “here comes the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” he was announcing the successor to all the law and the prophets.
God does not dwell in symbols or things made of man’s devising. There are no man-made cities Societies or structures that are pleasing to God . But for the God of this age they are. And it is with these counterfeits that he steals the affections of the hearts of people who have rejected the cross of the Christ to implement other gods for them to be condemned, and Satan will fill full his role. He is the God of the vacuum. This is “the one who is coming is according to Satan with all lying signs and wonders with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the elect”.
This is a duplication of the things people are associated with God through symbols, including the old Covenant. They reject “The Kingdom of God at hand” for another. Christ said “Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” (Mt 16.23)
It is those who are born again that can see the kingdom of God, and those born from above can enter the kingdom of God, because they are Elementally different. For this reason the phrase, “the Kingdom of God is at hand” is of a ubiquitous nature. For this reason the phrase “the kingdom of God is at hand” can be entered anytime for us who are born again. For us it is our reality.
We now know it is blasphemy to associate any of Gods things as being carnal, visible or physical. For “The time that is coming already is when you will not worship God in Jerusalem, but in Spirit and truth” and so we do. Showing for us, the elect the contrast and the competition with “Spirit and Truth”.
We see Satan cursed from the garden saying on your belly thou shalt go, and now you shall eat dust all the days of the life. Satan was judged. He has never been allowed to operate outside of His God given task. He can he dust. God never lost control.
Humanity in a free fall from God does. The fall that was sustained by religion is rejected and we are in a free-fall.
When people reject God they don’t get the next best thing but the opposite. They get the counterfeit, mimicker and wannabe.
Scripture warns that there would be a time like the days of Noah when corruption would permeate every aspect of morality. When humanity would be in a free fall. The elect would understand and clamor to the things of God.
The Kingdom of God is at hand” does not mean it is eminent. It means Gods Kingdom is operational and active even now.
There are so many distractions from the faith and in the faith that it is easy to be distracted and get on tangents. There are many false and partial gospels to get caught up in.
Warning! Anything that stops you short of the conclusion of Gods work in you now, is to be partially saved and held in limbo. Even as Paul said “I seek to lay hold of why Christ laid hold of me”. So we must persist for the same cause lest we fall short of the grace of God. Paul also said “do not let anybody rob you of your reward”. You must learn to apprehend it. To “lay hold” of it.
The main theme of the gospel message is salvation. to be saved from this present age.To be completely refabricated in the heavens of our mind, which is the will of God. (Romans 12.1)
There is one single saving act that all Gods people look to for personal salvation from the wreckage of the fall of Adam passed on to all humanity. This takes place at the Cross of Christ where He took on Adams curse to redeem us from it defined at the fall. All the ills of mankind are the result of the fall of Adam passed on to us. This is the sin based conscience the gospel delivers us from.
The old covenant examples of sin sacrifices were physical pictures of eternal realities pointing to Christ “for us on whom the end of the ages has come”.
Peter wrote of the prophets of old, that they knew the things they had written, were not for themselves, but for us of things ministered by the Holy Spirit.
Moses instructed Aaron and Hur to hold up his arms while the people’s battles ensued. In the same way as long as Moses had his arms held out for His body to form a cross they were victorious. This was foreshadowing the coming of the Cross of Christ. We look back to the cross for the same reason, salvation. Any expectations of future battles and a coming savior rejects the cross, and spits in the face of the Spirit of grace that convinces us.
John 16.8 concurs. The Holy Spirit comes “to reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see (again) me no more (in a carnal way);
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” Meaning convicted and incarcerated to the will of God.
The cross is our crossover Point into eternity. For this reason we are baptized into the death of Christ in order to walk in newness of life. And just as we are baptized into Christ, we are also raised with him to newness of life through the working of faith. (Romans 6.4)
As long as the Israelite’s looked to Moses arms with his arms held, so we too are victorious when we put our faith in the out stretched arms of Christ at His cross. It was Aaron and Hur that held up Moses arms much like the Law and the priesthood support and looked forward to the cross. Christ’s outstretched arms is the demarcation between the Old and new covenants. Between death and life. Between heaven and earth. The old looked forward, and the New looks backward to this single saving act for the salvation of all would be believers past, present and future. We all have this same focal point. As long as the cross is held up as the single saving act on our behalf from God, we the elect are victorious.
This is why the cross is our singular focal point for salvation. For being energized and transformed. As long as we don’t set down this truth in search of another savior. Like maybe an end time savior? Like another coming Jesus? Then our focus is pure. As it says in John 3.17 that “God has sent His Son into the world to save the world” the first time He came.
Any salvation presentation that does not completely save, restore and preserve completely out of harms reach is incomplete. This is what the good news of the cross of Christ delivers. “On Him was laid our curse and by His stripes we are healed. On Him was laid the iniquity of us all.
Satan, sin and death are all defeated there as scripture testifies. Even the old testament law is nailed to the cross to neutralize its demands on us by Christ performing them for us. They are fulfilled. This is why there is no condemnation for those of us who walk not according to the flesh but the spirit. We acknowledge And live in this reality. (Romans 8)
For This reason scripture also says that “In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body [h]of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through (the working of) faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, who were (past tense) once dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive (resurrected) together with Him, having forgiven you all your sins (past and future) 14 having wiped out the [i]handwriting of requirements that was against us, (the law) which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers (Satan and his minions) He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” (eternally more spectacular than any celebration or sporting event)
Note: If you are looking for another saving act to ensue on planet earth to save you and restore you to the Fathers provision, you are already distracted from the purposes of God in your life.
The cross is the singular focal point that defeated all of your enemies. Much like a big pinata when stricken all the goods come out. “God has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who calls us to glory”. (2 Peter 1) Now your battle is believing and appropriating this through the working of faith, which is your invisible response to the invisible God who already worked everything out through His Son at the cross to institute His last contract with us called “The New Covenant” now in effect for us to be reconciled with the Father in a way that Adam lost and the Law could not deliver.
Warning! There will be no other saving act from God but a fearful expectation of judgment. Another saving would also demand another sacrifice and another covenant. We are not returning to the old and there is no 3rd covenant mentioned in scripture. Ever.
The cross of Christ (His very name means “savior” the saving one and God with us) is the only focal point and cross over point from death to life with scripture saying “he who has the Son has life, he who has not the Son, has not life”. Christ also said “he who believes in Me has past from death to life”. And so we did. This is the only saving act and ongoing work of God in the spirit, to reverse the curse imposed by Adam on us by His departure of faith and trust in the living God on whom death and all deaths instruments have no hold and delivered to us through the cross.
Here is what Hebrews says about those who overlook the saving of the cross “28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? ” Let us not be found here.
Amen.
Thank you Heavenly Father for sending your Son into the world to save us. I accept His reality and now live and grow in the knowledge of Christ. In this way we are “In Christ” our new man, and not “in Adam” our old man.
When God does things He does them once and He does them right. So for salvation, He sent his son into the world and He need not repeat Himself, or present a second coming saving because the first one failed.
In the book of revelation we see all the elders gathered around One, casting their crowns and giving total homage to that One. And that One is “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. What you don’t see there is Buda, Hari Chrishna, Muhamid, or a second coming Jesus. There is no other source, there is no other event than the cross. Even as John the Baptist said “here comes the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. And so He did. Past present and future sins were grounded out then and only then. That is our focal point and Gods delivery mechanism for everything we need. Mission accomplished, victory is complete. The battle is over. Return to the Father.
The Abomination of desolation and the Son of Perdition warned about in scripture was the presentation of all the shadows and images of the things of God in Heaven, displayed in Jerusalem of the law and the prophets that were expired in Christ and then destroyed.
“We are complete in Him who is head over all powers and principalities”. There is nothing else, and no one else who completes us. You can fortify yourself against the objects of your fears, but they are still there. There is only one true consolation. The fear of dying is the enemy. Fear is the poison that kills spiritual growth. Death is not so much a one time event of being dead, but a life driven by fear, that causes one to be dead to the provisions from God, gifted to us by His promises in His Son, to be truly free from all fears because “he who fears has not been made perfect in love because fear involves torment”. That’s the fruit given to those who reject Gods covenental provisions. So they turn to the world for comfort and forget the One who is in control.
We see the effects of fear in the parable of the unjust steward who collected funds from his employers accounts to protect himself against joblessness homelessness and fortify his retirement. He said “4 I have resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses”. He was afraid to be without so He created a back-up plan, a retirement plan. This is the product of self-consciousness. We see a brick wall and we don’t know what is on the other side so we protect ourselves against this fear. “He who seeks to save his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for Christ sake will save it”. This is what we are talking about. When you run to the end of your account avigo it is expired. However we can never deplete the resources of the almighty God who said “let there be light” and immediate it appeared without resistance.
There are many who pursue to save the planet and are ignorant of Him who can recreate this with the same simple words. They spend their time and their estimation doing whst they think is good when the good that they do is ignorance of him who did it all.
Romans 1 says of these people 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Creation serves the creator just fine even now by mirroring to humans the conditions of their hearts.
“If you understand Gods never ending love, and his inexhaustible resources, you can relax your grip on this age and fall into the hands of the almighty God who eagerly awaits you to do so. God said “I will never leave you or forsake you”. But some just cannot have solace in that. So they depart to look for another. This is spiritual adultery that causes blindness to Him who is “at hand”.
So speaking of the wise steward”For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation thanthe sons of light.9 “And I say to you,make friends for yourselves by unrighteous[d]mammon, that when[e]you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home.”
Fear is the abscence of faith. Your faith has trade in value. But you must let go of your fears to recieve the exchange. If you truly trust God, you don’t need a dependance on a back-up plan. He who said “I will never leave you or forsake you” need not come back in the flesh a second time as a man to fulfill His Word in us. We are complete in Him, if you can receive it. The price was paid at the cross to reverse the curse and undo the fear based mind that started with Adam who said to the Lord “I heard your voice and was afraid”. God knew this would happen. Adam tried to cover it with a fig leaf, and people today are covering themselves with all kinds of things. But the words of job was, Naked I came naked I go, blessed be the name of the Lord.
The truth is God sees through all of our fig leaves and coverings anyway. For the word of the Lord is sharp and Powerful sharper than any two-edged sword dividing even bone and Marrow joints and ligaments it is a discerner of the thoughts of the intent of the heart. Then there is nothing hidden from the site with him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:12.
You cannot be afraid and trusting God at the same time. Consider the old women who donated her two mites, or in our culture, pennies. That was all she physically had, but for us the elect? She truly trusted in God and was spoken of for our guidepost. Not that God is asking us to live without money, but not to put too much trust in the uncertainty of riches.
The day we have the most money, in the day we have none should be equally joyous. Like the Widow with the two mites, she knew that the greatest joy comes Not from without but from within. Just as it said it’s in the book of James That every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights in whom there is no variableness nor shadow of turning.
Christ “has delivered us who all our lifetimes had been subject to the fear of death”. We fear no more. And this fear of death is not a one-time dying but the continual dying and losing of self and the things we seem important. Do not be deceived we will all lose this body we eroniously call ourself and all its physical attachments. Every promise and provision from the god of this age will fail. You cannot stay here. You will lose that self by degree one death at a time. Or you will grow in the Spirit by degree one revelation at a time. And it is Gods word that is our food for our transformation. That we may participation of the things the God. It is the god of this age competes with the things of “hath God really said?” For our intellect to challeng. And if God said it, repeat it over and over until you get it. This is your struggle. It must become you.
Every time we come to this point in our inner dialogue where fear reminds us of our frailties, it is here that we can grab a hold of something Eternal by faith, or turn in fear and fortify the thing that’s dying.
Everything that we do for health care and for retirement to fortify our position here are provisions for the God of this age.
James says “5 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!2 Your riches [a]are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire”. Who knows my friend if you will be around to spend your retirement. It my temporarily give you peace of mind, but that might be all you get. We are instructed to store up things not on Earth where moth and rust in thieves steal, but the store up our Treasures in heaven.
For the Elect? “We have a more enduring inheritance in heaven”. He who loves the world, the love of the father is not in him. We put on the things that God has given us we see in His Son.
So when the scriptures say that “Christ came to deliver us from the subjection of the fear death? We put this on. This is how we appropriate this. At that moment of fear, we step on that fear and replace it with faith. We reiterate the promise that we have a more enduring inheritance in heaven.
If this more enduring inheritance was only something to be experienced later, then it would be harder to hold out for. But because Christ has suffered at the cross for us, having taken away all the criticisms and condemnations aimed at us from the law, he shows for us here that because the payment is rendered in full, the gift is activated. Gods Word has no time lapse. For this very reason not only does the fullness of the godhead body dwell in him, but we are complete in him who is the head over all principality and power. Meaning we are not waiting for something to come later. We are not exchanging one physical element for another physical. No these things are sewn corruptible raised Incorruptible in the spirit of our mind, which is the place of our new existence. “That which is flesh is flesh, that which is spirit is spirit. You must be born again. This is how that happens.
And as we’ve spoken many times before that the heavens that are carnally known as being filled with stars and galaxies, is not as large as the expanse of our mind which grows bigger and bigger by the expansion of the Holy Spirit. And even as a worm cannot understand the life and flight of a butterfly, so then those who are driven by fear and controlled by fear and fortify themselves from that fear, cannot know or understand the life in flight of those who were born of the spirit.
Christ said “7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Such are we. We are not fortified here of the promises of the God of this age for the supplements of this age, oh no. Every time we have a fear, we offer up to God his Son, the only sacrifice that is acceptable to Him. His son is Word. He was the word broken down forethe promises of God in Scripture to find root in the linings of your heart and soul.
When the fear comes you offered that promise to God showing you are the sons of God. In this way we are shown to follow the spirit of God and confirm our identity as his children. He came to deliver those who are all their lifetime subject to the fear and the fear of death, we no longer fear those things. We no longer spend our times or fortifying our self against the inevitability that we will lose our external self. Even now we participate in the richness of our inheritance of the things of God.
So if we lose ourselves in Christ, we gain everything Eternal. For what profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul? Nothing
It is those who have gained everything of this age that have nothing in the other. It is those of us who have no realiance in this age that have everything in the other age now. Just as Christ was seen by some as a peasant on a donkey riding up to Jerusalem, but He was filled with the fullness of the Godhead.
It is we who are walking incognito, have Gods things that the glory and the essence we participate in may be of God and not of ourselves. Even as scripture instructs “since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised”. We are renewed in knowledge to be just like Christ in our understanding. Don’t let the peasant fool you.
We have traded physical things for invisible things and only those of us who are Spirit born again can master this.
For those who are looking for a physical mastery? It doesn’t happen. So many would say to us as well, who are you? And our answer to that is, not the man. Not what you’re looking at. These things are hidden from your site. Go on and sleep, the time is near.
We are complete in him who is head over all principalities and powers. Another view is, we are seated in the heavenlies in Christ. Having this puts us above and outside of reach of lower level turmoil. As scripture says “after you have suffered awhile may God perfect, establish, and settle you” and for some of us He did.
Scripture also says God “has delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of His Son”. This is done as well. It is us “who all our lifetime had been held captive to the fear of death” are fearful no more. Faith squelched that. Our “faith has made us whole” in a way carnal death cannot undo.
The fear of death is not a one-time dying but continually being led by the fear of dying, thereby losing of self by being driven by fear and spending yourselve in covering your fear in provisions of this world called policies, providers and apps. It is these things that stabilize the part of you called the ego. We the elect have our own provider. We have a different covering. We are in someone else’s good hands. We are protected under a different policy called “The New Covenant”. It is an all inclusive insurance policy. We have the most comprehensive coverage. Christ said “I will never leave you or forsake you”. That is good enough for me.
We know “Everything that can be shaken will be shaken for the eternal to remain” so what are you holding on to? Lets hope to have attained to the gift given through the good news, which is? Gods own self. He is our sanctification and our forcefield. Also “God has given us everything that pertains to life and Godliness through the knowledge of Him who calls us to glory”. (2 Peter 1) This is the true struggle. To cover ourselves in Gods Word, and not things of this world.
Eternity is the consumation and the expiration of all matter and our manifest destiny defined in scripture, to renew our minds with for the Elect. Which is something that can be realized and actualized today only by faith. THis is to be found “In Christ”. Those who aquire this now are called “a perfect man” (Ehpesians4.13) in “His fullness and likeness”. Nothing will be giving later to add on to, or supersede this gift already given as defined through the gospel. And the fact of the matter is, if we don’t discover and aquire this gift now, we won’t have the opportunity to acquire Gods things later, because the time is coming when it will be said “. 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him [e]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” the day of salvation will be over, and the opportunity to change will be gone when the contrasts are gone and the facts are plain to see because faith will be over. The gift is “from faith to faith”. There is no reward for believing what us easily seen, or God would be unjust with unfair rules.
Once the eternal facts are without competition, choices cease and you will have made your own outcome by appropriating faith or fear. Therefore let us put on the things of Christ now lest we be found naked. (2 Corinthians 5)
This is why we are called to “redeem the time, because the days evil” and whittling away. Today is the day of salvation.
Today is our cross over point into the invisible physically portrayed in the New Covenant Baptism and the Old Covenant Passover. These are the two visible witnesses of invisible realities we attain now, if you are willing and able.
Therefor it is important for us to understand that “we are beckoned by the spirit to be transformed into Gods self same image today. Unless the gods of this age have you blinded you to acquire another image called false self sufficiency. By seeking to fortify yourself here by clothing your mind with empty promises from the Gods of this age. By doing so you are forfeiting the gift of God called eternal life.
What good does it do for someone to gain the world and loose their soul? But it is a choice you must excersize.
When the writer of Hebrews is talking about the fear of death he does not mean the one time act dying but the living in fear and protecting yourself from your fears with policies.
We have a choice. At each point we wake up to a new fear, we can fortify it with a provision of the god of this age, or a promise from Gods word. You can be in the good hands of an insurance company, or be found “in Christ”. God forbid that I be found in anybody’s good hands but His. For I dare not insult Him. He who said “I will never forsake you”, will not watch idly while something bad happens to you. If you wear His provision of His promises, and not relax or find solice in the promises of the gods of this age, be it health care, retirement, and multiple insurance policies. To be found “in Him” is the safest place to be. As scripture says “We know those who say they are rich, but they are poor blind and naked. That would be these people.
So every time we come to this point in our inner dialogue where fear asks us…. it is here we can grab a hold of something Eternal, or turn in fear and fortify the hole on your shield.
Everything that we do for health care in for retirement for safety and security, are Provisions from the gods of this age to fortify Your Existence here. Who knows my friend if you will be around to spend your retirement. As James said, 2 Your riches[a]are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. You are hoarding for yourself Treasures for the day of Wrath and revelation of the righteous Judgment of God who renders to each one according to their works. But we have a more enduring inheritance in heaven, the heavens of our mind.
He who loves the world, the love of the father is not in him. God has given us richly all things to enjoy however hold on to those things loosely.
So when the scriptures say that Christ came to deliver us from the subjection of fear from all of our lifetime. That is what this means. How we appropriate His word at that moment of fear. We step on that fear and replace it with faith. We reiterate the promises. And if this more enduring inheritance was only something to be experienced later, then it would be harder to hold out for. But because Christ has suffered at the cross for us, having taken away all the criticisms and condemnations and scare tactics, He shows for us here that because the payment is paid in full, the gift is rendered effective. And for this very reason not only does the fullness of the godhead body dwell in him, but we are complete in him who is the head over all principality and Power and have the Godhead too.
Meaning we are not waiting for something to come later. We are not exchanging one physical element for another but visible for invisible. These things are sewn corruptible, then raised incorruptible in the spirit of our mind, which is the place of our new existence. As we’ve spoken many times before that the heavens that are carnally known as being filled with stars and galaxies, is not as large as the expanse of our mind which grows bigger and bigger by the expansion of the Holy Spirit. And even as a worm cannot understand the life and flight of a butterfly, so then those who are driven by fear and controlled by fear and fortify themselves from that fear, cannot know or understand the life in flight of those who were born of the spirit. Even as Christ in his discourse with Nicodemus said, for the wind blows wherever it wants to. You can hear the sound of it but you cannot tell where it comes and where it goes, so too are those who are born of the spirit. Such are we. We are not fortified here of the promises of the God of this age for the supplicants of this age in the supplements of this age, oh no. Every time we have a fear we offer up to God his son the only sacrifice that is acceptable to him. His son is word. He has the word broken down and so therefore the promises of God in Scripture that find root in the Linings of your heart and soul, when the fear comes you offered that promise to God showing you are the sons of God. In this way we are shown to follow the spirit of God and confirm our identity as his children. He came to deliver those who are all their lifetime subject to the fear and the fear of death, we no longer fear those things. We no longer spend our times or fortifying our self against the inevitability that we will lose our self.
So if we lose ourselves in Christ, we gain everything. For what profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?
It is those who have gained everything in in this age that have nothing in the next. And it is those of us who have nothing in this age that have everything in the next age. And just as Christ was seeing writing as a peasant on a donkey up to Jerusalem was filled with the fullness of the godhead body, so we to walking incognito have these things that the glory in the essence may be of God and not of ourselves. Ourselves has been dumped out,. We have traded physical things for invisible things and only those of us who are Spirit born again can understand or received
For those who are looking at the man, or the peasant on a donkey and ask who are you? So many would say to us as well who are you? And our answer to that is, not the man. Not what you’re looking at. These things are hidden from your site. Go on and sleep, the time has come.
If you are still looking to the Physical Realm and planet Earth for the manifestation of the kingdom of God you are going to be sorely disappointed. Why? Because “Eye Has Not Seen Nor Ear heard of the things that God has prepared for those who love him, but God has revealed them to us by his spirit.”
Paul in Romans 9 was speaking of his countrymen said that he wishes he was accursed from Christ instead of them. It was Paul who was referring to the Israelite’s when he was talking about his countrymen who were cut off from God.
When Paul was talking about his countrymen, he understood their despotic estate. He knew that they were cut off from the grace of God. The whole culture could have forgotten and none would have known any of the better. But Paul wanting to explain the difference, said that they were rejected because “they sought not the things of God by faith of believing the invisible. Israel, instead of seeking the things of faith in the invisible sought them as it were by physical findings. These were called “stiff- necked always rejecting the Holy Spirit” because they refused to transform in their understanding from the carnal to spiritual realities.
In today’s news there’s much talk about Israel and the Promised Land. But what is “The Promise Land”? And what is “Israel” according to the Bible? After all, isn’t it the scriptures that define this?
In Exodus 4.22 The Lord spoke to Moses saying “Israel is My son, My firstborn.” So we ask, is that Israel really God’s firstborn son? The answer is no, not that one. That old Israel only depicted and mimicked things that are invisible “in Christ”.
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 10.10 “Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 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.” Showing us here everything they did had invisible implications of eternal realities in Christ.
The same is true for us who are baptized, not into Moses, but “in Christ”. The place of the fulfillment of all things is in a person, and not a place. And because the Israelites of old ate and drank of Christ back then, we can understand He pre-existed the time He appeared to fulfill and expire them on earth.
Everyone who was in that Israel, were the recipients, or “joint heirs” of the things they shared. Just as with the New Covenant Israel. Everyone who is there “in Christ” are joint heirs of the things that belong to God. The old covenant Israel depicted physically, in a hands on way, for us to learn of the greater reality of things in the spirit for those who are born of the spirit.
To associate, eat and drink of the things in the spirit as we just quoted. To assimilate and put on the things God has provided for us to partake of Him. We no longer need the old covenant because it is fulfilled and we now have a better way called the gospel.
It is “the gospel message of Christ that is the power of God for salvation”. There is no other saving but by faith. “From faith to faith”. That is it.
Truthfully Christ, the first born son, is spiritual Israel and Gods only begotten Son that the Exodus 4.22 son of God shadowed. Those who are “in Christ” are in the place the Lord said to Moses “Israel is My first born son”. This is the place the promises of God are fulfilled. Those who are “in Christ” are in “The Promised Land” because He is the place of the fulfillment of all the promises of God, for those born of the spirit as seen here in 2 Corinthians 5. 17 Therefore, if anyone is “in Christ”, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things areof God.” They are heavenly and not earthly.
Even Joshua was a parable of the rest in the promise land as it is written in the book of Hebrews 4.8 For if [b]Joshua had given them rest, (by partitioning and dividing up the land) then He would not afterward have spoken of another day”. God spoke of another day because He did not want them to think of His things as being of earthly matter. We have a “heavenly calling”.
The New Covenant says “all the promises of God are yes and amen” where? “In Christ”. They are fulfilled “in Him” not in time and matter. In Christ all things take on their final form. This is the end gain and by-product of the gospel to the believer. All these things are accomplished by the word of God, and without the Word of God nothing will be. And what exists will remain untill the word has accomplished what God designed it to do. And ehen the things that were made in the time of creation are removed, then our inheritance will be without competition or distraction. We are receiving a kingdom thst cannot be shaken. “Everything that can be shaken will be shaken for the eternal to remain”. That’s it. Ahbadubada, thats all folks.
Our purpose is to be found “in Christ”. Or to borrow old testament nomenclature, to reside in Israel, in the promised land. The old depicted the new, but never becomes the new. The old has trade in value.
To be in “the promised land” and “in Israel”, and “in Christ” are all synonymous terms describing the same thing.
Those who are in Christ are in the new Israel, the only place the fulfillment of all scripture rests, as described in the New Covenant
Paul’s last words in the book of Galatians says this about the true Israel.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.” Showing for us here precisely who Israel is. That we the elect are in the Promised Land, in Israel and “In Christ” of God and not a place on earth, but anywhere two or more are gathered in His name.
We who are “in Christ” are in the fulfillment of all that was written and spoken of both the old and the new covenants. These things belong solely to us who are “in Christ” the true Israel of God and Gods only begotten son. You need not look for another.
Scripture says of Christ that “in Him dwells the fullness of the God head body, and we are complete in Him who is the head of all powers and principalities and principalities”. Another physical Israel on earth only obscures the truth.
God can be articulated to the intellect but He cannot be constructed. Nor can anything be constructed to house Him or please Him.
For God to be made or have things manufactured for Him is an oxymoron. For the maker to need something made for Him is silly. God cannot be housed, manufactured or contained. He can only be articulated to the intellect. All the visual heavens cannot contain Him. However the Heavens of the mind were given to us for God to interact with us there. God can be known but He cannot be seen.
Articulation is an invisible tool for the invisible God to manifest Himself. This articulation is done only by words. It used to be played out in the Old Covenant culture by their practises. That too is conveyed to us today in word form, but the greater revelation is “The New Covenant”.
Scripture is God articulated through Word. As we adopt His Word, we are ourselves are the adopted.
In the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God, this word is defined as God’s Son. Why? Because not only is He the exactitude of the Father, He also is an invisible pre-creation embodiment of the invisible that was before the beginning. But not a body with arms such as we have, oh no his arms are farther reaching than that. An embodiment not like our physical bodies, nor of a container of any sort for “It is in Him we live and dwell and have our being”, but of principles and truths. And it’s not just that historical references or things about God are passed on through verble articulation. Something much greater than this. Scripture contains the very genetics and DNA of God. It is for us to consume Gods DNA contained in the gospel passed on through revelation to our mind, for our Transfiguration from a created being to a spirit being. This is what it means to be born again. Born of the spirit and not of earthen elements.
An elemental understanding and an expectation of physical manifestations of the things of God is false because God is not made up of elements because those we’re made on the first 6 days. Neither are there any borders or boundaries or restrictions that God is subject to, including time and space. These were all created. Otherwise He would not be God. He would be subject to the created of which He governs. God is boundless in his ways unrestricted unfettered unhindered. To Him belong eternal glory amen.
No one has seen God at anytime but the Son declares Him with Master full speech and perfect articulation. If we see the Son as He truly is non-physical, we see the Father. A perfect reflection.
The Son said “He who has seen Me has seen the Father” was not talking about carnally visual aspects of the Father or a physical descriptives as being important or we would have a physical portrait with eye color hair color, stature in scripture for us to try to imitate. But we imitate word because that is His original self. His Words are His attributes in action.
When the son came to his own, his own did not receive him because they were expecting something made of time and matter. They saw not the Eternal value in the the man “who had no place to lay His head. “But to as many as received Him, not his carnal nature but His invisible one, to them he gave power to become his children even those who believe in his name”. That it is us who see him as he is in His natural element of Word, and we become like him (1 John 3.2.) We are being transfigured from the glory to the glory as by the Spirit to be sure (2 Corinthians 3.18). They saw not His glory for they saw the robes and sandals only. They rejected the invisible element that emitted from that One. “He is the light that shines into the heart of every man”. This is the true light the sun dimly mimics.
There are those who were expecting a man in kingly attire on a studly horse who were embarrassed by the peasant on a donkey. Some knew and called out ““Hosanna to the Son of David! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Hosanna in the highest!”
The physical contrast became a distraction and they saw him not “who rides a sorel horse whose garments are dipped in blood whose name is, The Word of God”.
But those of us who know him as a contrast to the physical understood him perfectly. Those who understood saw Shiloh riding on the foal of a colt and that the reign of the Jews was over and the Old Covenant reached it’s conclusion. The Revelation of the Messiah and the Savior of the world (John 3.17) (Genesis 49.11).
Those who speak of him coming again in human form, know him not for He is already what they expect him to be later. And those who expect Him to conquer something later, do not know Him who said at the cross “it is finished”. Lo I am with you always even to the end. As though He becomes something different later. Paul said “we once knew Christ in the flesh, from now on we know Him like that no more”. He returned to His original construct of Word.
This is why God does not receive his testimony from man for he knows what’s in man. More carnal Fabrications. But we speak what we hear and testify to what we seen for we have eyes and ears of a different nature. We “endure as seeing him who is invisible”. He who was born a king need not become a king. The Son did not come here to become anything He wasn’t, but to prove who he already was. “He is the same yesterday today and forever”. Hebrews 13.8
John the Apostle was explicit that “we know him who is from the beginning”. If He is in the making or becoming something He could not have been from the beginning. This is proof that He is unchangeable in character, nature and construction. But there is a coming one whose coming is according to the working of Satan to detour those who reject these truths. The coming one is the becoming one who is not yet but must be. This one must go down on the pit. Why? Because he is the imposter.
The Son’s purpose was to expire the old way of interacting with God called the old covenant. He proved this when he went to the father and said father I have completed the work you have given me to do I have given Those whom you’ve given me out of this world I have given them your word and they have kept it. The scriptures replaced the feasts the ceremonies and buildings of old. The one time sacrifice of the cross expired all others. No other price to be paid. The gift was given. The articulation was complete.
“In Him dwells the fullness of the godhead body” and because we have received his word we have received His fullness. So we too can say I and the father are one. As Paul pleaded, be ye reconciled to the Father”, so we were. The old could not do this.
The “coming one” is a becoming one as though he is not yet but must still be and is there for disqualified as being eternal.
It is as we take all the concepts of God displayed in the law and the prophets and more clearly in the Son and expire them in the heavens being the regions of our mind, through the access to the heart, the very place for God. The gospel message has its fulfilled purpose in us and need not take this any further. As Peter stated “receiving the end of your faith the salvation of your soul”.
The salvation of the soul is to be restored to its proper purpose of full interaction with God. The soul is the only invisible element you have. It is the only Eternal access point you have to the father and without that restoration there is no eternity.
As a seed in the dirt seems insurmountable and unimportant to the plant, for it sees no light and lives in dirt, so too is the man of the Earth. But if it contains the genetics of the Living God showing in our hearts through the gospel being watered by the Holy Spirit, this one becomes enamored with another element. Its sites and focuses are no longer in the shell.
So too with the metamorphosis of a butterfly or a caterpillar. The two are constructs of different elements. One crawls on the dirt the other flies in the air. So too those who have sown the words of God in their heart water it with the Holy Spirit, becomes the thing that is said. The very genetics of God seen in scripture, believed in our heart, in this way we become Godly.
There is no such thing as a hope in an afterlife without this. It is those who in their carnal body being ignorant of the things of God are The Walking Dead. They are dead to the things of God. If this were not so the Son would not of said “let the dead bury their dead”. And John the Apostle would not of said “he who has the Son has life he who has not the Son has not life”. Those who have not the Son have the contrast. And the contrast will be taken out of the way for the Eternal to remain.
And it is also true that “the dust returns to the dust”. Those who do not acquire the spirit acquire nothing. For this reason some who profess Christ are said to be “poor blind and naked”. Not knowing the riches in Christ they are poor not seeing the kingdom of God at hand they are blind because they think the Kingdom will take a physical form on planet earth . Anything made of time and matter will be dissolved with a ferfant heat. ( 2 Peter 3) That’s why those who hold onto a construct and a hope of time and matter, their hopes will be tarnished. Those who put on Christ put on the very words He spoke and become Word like Him. This is our new body like His. Word. We become Word in the Spirit of our mind. 1 John 3 “Beloved now we are the Children of God. When we see Him as He is we become like Him”. And we did
As we said earlier the Son said father I have finished the work that you’ve given me to do I have given them your word and they have kept it. Nothing else needs to be said. The Son was the Fathers final say so.
We who have received the Son in this way as an embodiment of the concepts and attributes of God, are sons of God. It is us who speak the words to confirm who we are by where we’ve been and where we in the very place hidden “in Christ “.
Christ said “No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man[b]who is in heaven.” We too can take these words and expire them fulfilled in ourselves, that “just as He is so are we in the world”. He was not just a man in the world. He was himself being the pre-spoken word, the very exact expression of the father, as we receive His fullness. It has been given for the taking. John 1.16
No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again and we see and no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born above and so we do. We are a kind of first fruits of his creation being born of word and spirit of his kind non element spirit and Truth.
We testify of what we hear and speak of what we seen because of the place that we have been. That makes us a visitors and pilgrims while we are here in the human body. We who are visitors are called ambassadors. For who can be an ambassador from a country they’ve never had residents in? You could only be an ambassador and a representative of something that you are a part of otherwise you would just be a spokesperson.
This is what happens to those who speak of another coming Kingdom because the kingdom of God being “at hand”. They quite obviously have not been to the place they are trying to represent if they expect it in the future. But The Kingdom of God is at hand.
Like a baby bird in the nest who prefers a soft pre-chewed worm, so to a carnal believer is hooked on old testament culture and parables. This is the same as preferring the old wine for it is better, they reject the new having not the faith, the invisible imbecilic cord.
Those who pay tithes at the temple pay for building projects and give in to sacrifices, these are slow to receive the invisible for the visible things they did are of no Eternal value. For “the earth and all its works shall be burned”. If your works do not serve as a crossover point into the eternal it amounts to nothing. Our Christ has entered into the heavens now, not to a Tabernacle made by hands but a tabernacle made by God. That is the place of our homage, of our sacrifices and our giving. As it says in Isaiah “why do you trample my courts with your feast and your sacrifices? Who has required this of you?” It is to receive God as He is and offered Him the sacrifice of praise. That is acceptable to him.
If you appear at the altar to leave a gift and know not the Gift Giver, the Giver becomes a Taker and you leave empty-handed. To some people he appears as a thief or even what they think they have shall be taken. And those who have an expectation of a future Jesus, do not know the gift that is given. If you knew the Gift Giver and the things He possessed, you would receive immediately the things that you asked for. For this reason the Son said to the disciples “until now you have asked for nothing in my name ask that your joy may be full”. We know the Gift Giver and we know the gift. All the gifts are in Christ Jesus All Things become new in Christ Jesus. You just need to figure out what All Things Are. You may look at some and think they are poor but they possess all things in this way.
For this reason John the Apostle said love not the world nor the things of the world for he who loves the world the love of the father is not in him. But we love God
There are those things that were with God from the beginning. These things are His. This is what He gives to the Elect. Do not let anyone rob you of this. Every else eventually disappears.
If you really knew the Gift Giver in truth you would not have to ask because the things have already been given. “We have been given everything that pertains to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who calls us by glory to virtue”. To share his virtue we are the called. We who know the Gift Giver in this way being the recipients are now ourselves gift-givers. As it is written “he who rejects you rejects Me. He who receives you received Me. We are the conduit. We are the conveyors and the purveyors of the water that doesn’t cost money we are recipients of the Living Water and become Wells of Living Water.
Christ approached the woman in Samaria at the well and asked for water. Had she known the gift-giver she would have asked for the water. She said I know the Christ when he comes he shall tell us all things. In response Jesus said I whom you are seeking, I am. He left no explanation of a 2nd coming. She was filled enough to go tell the whole city. “This is the Christ”. In our age there are many still waiting. God does not repeat Himself. But fortunately we do. We call it the Gospel. To rearticulate the things of God.
In Scripture Our Lord started some Parables with “the Kingdom of Heaven is like…”. He used visual things to explain the invisible. This was the purpose of every Parable “He only spoke to the people in parables and without a parable spake He not to them”.
In the very beginning of creation God made contrasts, light from dark, wet from dry, Heavenly verses earthly. You get the picture.
In the Book of Genesis it says, “The spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters looking for a reflection.” The face of the deep being murky and dark as a contrast to the calmness and transparency of the Holy Spirit. The Holy “Spirit hovered over the face of the waters” to see a resemblance, but the deep and the dark portrayed something sinister and diabolical.
We see these contrasts more fully developed in the Book ofThe Revelation of Christ, where a Beast rises up out of the waters. The murky deep delivered a distorted reflection of the things of God because it saught to imitate Him by counterfeiting a godlikeness for usurping power for glorifying himself and His cohorts.
The Beast, explained in short, is the contrast of God, a polar opposite. The deep and the dark saw something from the above and made a dim, ugly, reflection of it because that’s the best it can do.
John 1 “The light shines into darkness, but the darkness does not comprehend it.” In its’ disturbance darkness sought to imitate what it could not comprehend. That which is holy, just, pure, Noble and good, appears ugly, scary, freaky and strange. This is the reflection of the deep and dark. This is the best portrayal the troubled waters could muster up. We call it “The dillusion with all lying signs and wonders if possible to decieve the Elect” we are warned of in scripture.
These troubled waters could not engineer something so holy, pure, noble and good. What the muddy waters presented to humanity, became a competition. Not that it could compete against all that is good, except in the fallen, unrepentant, darkened mind, the place of deception, the only place the murky thrives. “All things are open and exposed in the eyes with whom we have to do” so we can make perfect sense of the distortions.
How is it the beast comes from nothing in the dark and gets its’ power to exist, to manifest itself? That is simple,through people’s fear. Our first father feared when he trusted someone other than God. God called out and said, “Adam where are you?” And his reply? “I heard your voice and was afraid.” Fear is seen as a wince on the forehead. That was the sign of Adams departure.
In this way Adam gave his crown and soul, his dominion, his decision making processes and personal power to another. He forfeited his crown and the gift of being made in the image of God. Bowing in fear he empowered the author of that fear, Satan, to control him. The power that was resident in Adam to become like God, having dominion and rule, was inverted and he became a slave. He was given dominion over all the earth, but now works the earth with a curse that yields thorns instead of lushious fruit of the Spirit.This was his demise.
We call this the fall because it is an inversion. Imagine a parrot on a perch becoming sleepy and slips with his grip, not falling but flipping upside down still holding on to the rod. What he now sees is completely upside down. So are those who are hypnotized by trusting what they hear and see with their carnal agencies.
This is the need to be born again from above. To get a do over. The darkened gravitation pull that causes the inversion must be neutralized by trusting the other voice inside. The still small voice. Discard the murky for the calm. Trade in your fear protected by the illusion you created, for trust in the living, loving, waiting spirit of God, to pull you back up. We call this “The Resurrection”. Jesus Christ who took our death to the cross, then put it in a cave presumably to decay. Then to remove the grave cloths, then roll the stone away. He walked away unscathed.
He is the only one qualified to do so. Check and see. All other holy men presented to mankind today, are still in their graves. They died hoping for a resurrection they assumed was a new human body. But the resurrection is simply a new way of thinking, being fortified by scripture by learning from God’s holy writ. By being transformed by the renewal of the mind, we get our do over.
And because God said of Adam and Eve before their fall, or inversion, that they were “Good, very good”. And because the inversion that made them immediately bad has been reversed, fear being neutralized by faith, we pick up where Adam and Eve left off of being “good very good”. So now we become more godly and good while we experience this life on earth.
Because of this, creation responds differently. The curse God explained to Adam of serving creation in toil and sweat yeilding thorns and thistles, is also inverted. We see our new identity of life in the spirit as being extremely fruitful. Think of the twelve spies who went into the land of promise, bringing back grapes the size of grapefruits. They however disbelieved the testimony and retained their little apartments of fear. Stop. Remove from here back for a new related post.
He lost his faith and trust in the Living God and gave his power to another by fearing that other. The murky, freaky and strange found a soul to roost in. To see what Adam saw, and hear what he heard, but made it Scarry instead of warm and inviting.
The gospel message was given to, “release those who all their lifetime were subject to the fear of death and subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2.15
Butin the beginning there was really nothing in the darkness to be afraid of but fear itself. The unknown; the concept that God might be wrong was entertained and Adam began to unravel. Fear started the downward spiral of anti-faith of the fall that has no bottom.
Fear is an expanse in the spirit. The only expanse that God did not create but Adam did. He harboured a spot in Himself to keep God out and the darkness found a home as evidenced by the disturbance Adam felt.
If Adam fell in a carnal way, his broken bones could be mended and his cuts could heal. But he fell in the spirit of his mind, the place that entertains the deep and where the saving must take place.
Creation continues to serve mankind by responding to their internal promptings. That is why scripture says in Titus, that “To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.” This pretty much describes the expanse that Adam built in his mind, where he empowered his nemesis. This have all those of the lineage of Adam, and the need to be born again and become of the liniage of the new man we call Christ.
Yes we do have creative powers and this is why Satan fills people’s heads with his distortions. And because Satan cannot create, he can only distort. He relies on humans to empowered his distortions. You see if people do not disbelieve God, satans plans would not come into fruition, but humanity is doing that and he gets the credit. You see Satan and his minions have no bodies of their own to carry this out, and why they need bodies to work through to carry out their plan. That is why him, and those who knowingly cooperate with him in his hostile takeover, recieve the harsher and stricter judgment. Eternal unquenchable fire.
Mark this word: their plan will not come into full fruition, for the creation serves the Creator, not them. They are the murky deep distortion designated to help separate the wheat from the tares.
There is however a Savior for this. We turn from dark to light, from murky, troubled waters to the pure, calm and un-turbulent by an act of faith, which is our unseen response to the invisible God, now being bone of His bone, flesh if His flesh if glorious Spirit and Truth.
Just as simple and immediate as the fall was with Adam and Eve, so is the cure. It is called our confession of faith, the contrast of fear. In that day you believe and confess you shall live. This is our Vortex to the Father. (Romans 10 5-11)
When Adam turned from God, he did not get the next best thing, he got the exact opposite. Death. “In the day that you eat you shall surely die”. His spiritual separation from God was his immediate death to the things of God. His body remained in parabolic form for instructive purposes only in hopes that he would come to his (spiritual) senses, of things we are showing you here.
Adams death to the invisible things of God was carried out the day he ate from the (proverbial) tree. His departed from Eden was to keep his new disease and new disposition of fear from infecting things there.
Fear therefore is the enemy of God and man because that is the point and the epicenter of our split, or spiritual divorce of being spiritually adulterated, tainted and unclean.
Mankind was made to choose between contrasts like light and dark, good and bad, pure and murky. And so this is a contrast for us to exercise our reasoning factors like God has, by choosing God and His associations, we exercise our choice to become godly through the resurrection of mind, where the fall took place. (Genesis 3) By neglecting this, mankind continues to spiral to a place that has no bottom called Hell, which is the total absence of God. They become more and more savage. This is in contrast to the Resurrection and Ascention of believers.
You can be standing next to people in Heaven and Hell at the same time because it is a location in the spirit. This is why those who are re-spirited by faith, associate with God for fruits of the Holy Spirit, the true garden of God. This place is locked from whoever lives or loves a lie.
To not choose God is to be asleep to the invisible things of God and neglect our duty to transform in the Here and Now. 2 Cor 3.18. Paul also pleaded with us through the gospel saying “be ye reconciled to the Father, as a task that is ours. He made him who knew no sin, to become sin” for our safe return. By which we arrive by faith to where God said of His creation, that “it is good, very good”. The curse was nailed to the cross. That is where we exchange our curse for the blessing. But each person must represent themselves at the cross, for the exchange to take place to grow in godliness. These are the Redeemed, and those who pick up where Adam was derailed.
The Dillusion
The term Beast is clearly understood as being the antithesis of God. God did not make this. That is why it is called a beast and not a creation. Their perception of heavenly things, they assemble in a physical way. They steal the concepts of God and call them their own. We call this blasphemy. To repurpose God’s things and call them your own. The collection of these things is “the delusion,with all lying signs and wonders if possible, to deceive the elect. This is the ultimate blasphemy.
Instead of design, it is chaos, instead of life it’s death. It is this Beast that rises out of the deep and presents something to humanity in competition with God, however; it is the contrast. You see that it has a mouth of a lamb, but it’s works are of a lion. Among its tools are murder, theft, apartheid, apostasy and imposters.
It is the inhabitants of the Earth being fearful of this Beast who through ignorance and separation from God, being unaware of their spiritual capacity and their ability to transform through faith, they reject and empower the deep and dark to take on its’ form. Through their ignorance they become implicit in this blasphemy, and will receive the same treatment as all others who have gone before them.
Fear is the motivating factor of those who are carnally minded, because that is what their first father Adam did. By default it is passed on to humanity as a motivating source in the absence of faith in God. Because, “he who fears has not been made perfect in love because fear involves torment.” Fear was the proof that Adam was unraveling.
The book of Isaiah, in chapter 8, describes an aggressor that would, “fill the land of Emmanuel.” By impersonating God with replicas, it consumes those with carnal notions of God, and they remain blind to the one who wisks about them.
This enemy would cause great, great destruction and great fear to fill everything that was good and godly. This is the maturation of the murky reflection of the perverted likeness of God of things made on the Earth.
This is pertinent today for us the elect to understand our calling. The Lord told Isaiah of these people, “Do not walk in the way of this people saying”conspiracy”. Do not be afraid with their fears and do not be dismayed by their threats and at what they see, for they will look at the Earth and see great Darkness and be afraid.” Showing here the mindset of those who have fallen. They run from one fear after the other.
This is what the End Time Gospel presents. It feasts off the non-stop distortions of truth with new end times theories that scatter the sheep of God by confusion. Who is the author of that? Satan. Woe to them.
These people present new fears to adorn and glorify the “fear of all fears.” The end of the world. End times prophecies.” All the prophets were till John the Baptist, Stop! Now the Kingdom is preached and all are entering. But end times seakers speak of another coming kingdom with a future crowned king. He who, “is the same yesterday, today and forever “was “born king” and needs no inauguration on planet earth to implement that Eternal reality. More blasphemy.
Even as Christ said to Herod at His inquisition, you have rightly said that I am King. But my Kingdom is not from here or else I would fight.
So what is God’s exhortation and advice to us about the end times mindset? Again from Isaiah chapter 8, “Let Me be your dread, let Me be your fear. Do not fear those things.” We do not fear those things primarily because it is the very fear that gives life to the beast. The fearful feed it, and empower it, not God.
Faith is the antidote to that enemy. Faith is the vaccination to squelch all fears. God is light and in Him is no Darkness at all. If we are in Christ, we are in this light where there is no dark. It is like waking up from a bad dream to understand that which disturbed us. Fear is really nothing. God did not empower this, but He knew that mankind would. So God made a containment for this. They shall be burned with all the elements of creation. (2 Peter 3.10+)
That is why this Beast exists. People give it power by glorifying it. God’s promises and provisions are more real than they. Why? Because He who said, “Let there be light, and there was light,” said so. Now it’s your choice.
It is man that was made to be good, holy and godly but man has become frittered and fearful. They see the the boogeyman behind every shadowy image presented by the false prophet of today called the media.
The Book of Revelation also talks about, “those who say they are Jews but are not. They are of the synagogue of Satan.” Why is that? I mean, how could the Jews, God’s people, have someone parallel them that is of the synagogue of Satan? It is really quite simple when you understand that all the law and the prophets were fulfilled by Christ. That none of the prophets of the Old Testament have anything forward speaking to us today. (Hebrews 1.1-3) But those who take scriptures out of context from being fulfilled, take them off the shelf of their expiration, breathing new life into them, repackaging them, which induces carnal fear. They present a distortion called Jerusalem today, stealing the things of God for the,”delusion if possible to deceive the elect. (2 Thes 2).
Much like the golden image in the days of Daniel, they must fear the image or be thrown into the fire. So they bow. For those who don’t? They are seen dancing in the fire with another “whose appearance is like the Son of God”.
This is how the bottomless pit gets opened. God didn’t open it. Their fear empowers it. The enemies, whom Christ defeated at the cross, are empowered once again in the same way. Through fear, ignorance and faithlessness, men become cowards, so they cower to something that is not God. Satan is their new god.
You see the true Jews know that their land is with the Messiah, not the other way around.They don’t look for, and work for, the land in hopes of their messiah’s return. “They look to the city whose builder and maker is God.” (Hebrews 11) “Whose composition and design comes down from above and not of earth. Not of hewn stone for that is defiled.” Exodus 20.25
The Orthodox Jew knows this. It is the Zionist Jew who controls others by fear and secrecy, who have stolen the things of God and called them their own. They have stolen names from God and reassembled them in a way that fits them. That is why it is a beast and not a god. It is of their creating, not God’s.
Very much like some tribesman on a desolate island, who puts together branches and wrap them with straw and leaves, packed with mud to make a figure of an airplane, then taking this figure presenting it as god to the rest of the tribe to drive them by fear because they think seeing these things fly in the air, then trick people into serving them because these people think that is what they saw flying in the sky. But, that concoction is a beast, a murky distortion of a true airplane.
That is what today’s Jerusalem is. It is in competition with “that which comes down of God from heaven” whose composition is “accordingto the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.” (Revelation 21) Of us who are “living stones built up a habitation of God in the spirit,” “Having been built on the foundations of the apostles and prophets with Jesus Christ the cornerstone.” 1 Peter 2.5, Eph 2.19
You see,the King of Kings and the Lord of lords has never relinquished His power. He who set the course for the stars, and set the boundaries for the waves, has set limits to what this thing can do. These lies from the murky deep can only persuade the murky deep and darkened heart driven by fear with such a monsterous concoction.Woe to them.
But we know Him who said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” And, “Lo, I am with you, even to the ends of the ages.” And, “What shall separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus? Neither height, nor depth, nor powers, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come shall separate us from the love of God that is in Christ. We are more than conquerors through all these things.” Amen
Conclusion
If you expect to see a fish or a boat you would look in the water. For a bird or an airplane you would look in the sky. For a dignitary coming to town you may look for a man in a parade. But for Christ you are looking for a man in the sky? How silly.He comes to us in the spirit of our minds.
Even now He says, 20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame andsat down with My Father on His throne.”
What more are you waiting for? A different Jesus? If anyone comes to you teaching another Christ, let them be accursed. So you decide. His kingdom at hand? Or the second coming Kingdom. God’s reality, or the strong delusion. The truth or the lie.The Kingdom of God is at hand in this way. This is the one-time, public offering that expires when you don’t need faith to believe.
The Lord said, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
His things are higher than our things. To equate the things of the immortal, eternal, invisible God with ours is to profane them. To take God’s things out of context of the holy and other worldly, and think of them as earthly is to make them dirty and despicable.
The Heavens are humanly, immeasurably higher than silly planet earth. The Holy of Holy installed behind the veil out of everyone’s reach portrayed this.
In any society it is an egregious error to impersonate officers and dignitaries. To go forth in public and pretend to be somebody powerful, and assert that authority is a punishable crime.
It is blasphemy to impersonate aspects of God; it is the denial and rejection of God as if He were absent, then to take His place and assert His power as if it were their own. A pretender does this, a mimicker, a wannabe, a counterfeit and a thief.
To repackage the things of God with ungodly, worldly things, and use God’s names on them is blasphemy of the highest order. It is not forgiven in this age or the other age.When it is done in context of God’s Kingdom, it is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
There’s a great blasphemy taking place in our day. Someone has stolen the things of God and called them their own. They use them for their own gain. They take the names and concepts of God that are to define something holy and invisible, they neutralize them and put them on Earth. So, “We know those who say they are Jews and are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan.” Yes, Satan has put it in their hearts to re-package God in a different way. It is stolen for the kingdom of the fallen.
