A son where is the father’s name. Christ came in the name of the father. A named in the world is a pronunciation in a spelling. But the name of the father is the father. When the sun came in the name of the father it was not the spelling or the pronunciation so much as it was the character. Christ said I and the father are one. Christ said he who has seen me has seen the father. He was an exact representation and the exact image of the father. And in him dwells the fullness of the godhead body.
When one comes in the Name of the King if he Bears the king Signet his word is as if the king is standing right there. Whatever law or document or decree that is stamped with the King Signet are the Kings words and must be fully enforced. The gospel bears the signature of the Father. His signature is His Son. In the beginning was the Word. The Word wss with God and the Word was God”. He said “I and the Father are one” This does not mean they are just in agreement but the two are inseparable. “He who has seen Me has seen the Father”. And “he who has the Son has the Father also.
So the signature of the Father cannot be reduced to the dotted line on a document because it is still being pronounced today in what is called the Gospel. The Word has gone out to all the earth, even to the end of the ages.
1st Corinthians 13 when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be done away with.” The New Covenant and all its articles have been made and its offices have been fulfilled “In Christ”. Read More
God can be articulated to the intellect but he cannot be constructed. Nor can anything be constructed to house him.
For God to be manufactured is an oxymoron. For the maker to be in need for something being made is silly. God cannot be manufactured but God can be articulated. Articulation is an invisible tool for the invisible God. Articulation is done by words. “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. You say why? Because not only is he the exactitude of the father He is also an invisible embodiment. And it’s not just that historical references or things about God are passed on through articulation, oh no much greater than that. It is the very genetics and DNA contained in the gospel passed down through the gospel for our Transfiguration from a created being to a spirit being. An elemental understanding is false because God is not made up of elements. There are no Borders or boundaries or restrictions that he is subject to, for if he was he would not be God. God is boundless in his ways unrestricted unfettered unhindered to whom belong eternal glory amen fun things
No one has seen God at anytime but the Son declares Him with perfect articulation. If we see the Son as He truly is, we see the Father. The Son said “He who has seen Me has seen the Father. He was not talking about carnally visual aspects or a physical portrait would be the testimony of the Son.
When the Son came to his own, his own did not receive him because they were expecting an expansion of The Parables with things made of time and matter. They saw not the Eternal value in that one. But to as many as received him, not his carnal nature but His Spirit, 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. We are being transfigured from the glory to the glory they saw not his glory for they saw the robes and sandals only. There are those who are expecting a man in kingly attire on a studly horse we’re embarrassed by The Peasant on a donkey. The physical became a distraction and they saw him not. But those of us who know him as a contrast to the physical understood him perfectly. Those who understood him as Shiloh riding on the foal of a cult understood that the reign of the Jews was over. Those who speak of him coming again know him not for he is already here. Lo I am with you always even to the End Amen
He does not receive his testimony from man for he knows what’s in man. More carnal Fabrications. But we speak what we here and testify to what we see 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 sun did not come here to become anything but to prove who he already was.
John the Apostle was explicit that we know him who is from the beginning. This is proof that he is unchangeable and character in nature and construction. But there is a coming one whose coming is according to the working of Satan. The coming one is the becoming one who is not yet but must be.
The sun’s purpose and only purpose was to expire all the parables. 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 articulation was complete. In him dwells the fullness of the godhead body and because we have received his word we of his fullness we have received. So we too can say I am the father are one. The coming one is a becoming one as though is not yet it must be in his 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 Sun and expire them in the heavens being the regions of our mind the access is through the heart the very place of God comma 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’s the only Eternal access point you have to the father and without 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 it becomes enamored with another element. It’s sites and focuses are no longer in the shell so too with the metamorphosis of a butterfly in a caterpillar. The two are constructs of different elements. One crawls on the dirt the other flies in the air. So to those who have sown the words of God in their heart water with it the Holy Spirit becomes the thing that is said. The very genetics of God’s Own in our heart in this way we become Godly.
There is no such thing as life in an afterlife. 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 sun 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 Sun 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. Go to acquire a carnal konstruct of the scriptures acquire nothing. For this reason they 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. Not putting on the cloaking of Christ they are naked. Anything made of time and matter will be dissolved. That’s why those who hold onto a con struck and a hope of time and matter specifically the second coming their hopes will be tarnished. Those who put on Christ put on the very words he spoke. 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 this sun is the final say so.
We who have received the sun 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 been and where were we the very place we are. Christ said no one has descended from heaven but he will send it from Heaven that is the son of man who is in heaven we too can take these words and expire them and fulfill them and ourselves that just as he was and just as he is so are we in the world because he was not a man in the world he was himself being the word the very exact expression of the father as are we. And 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 were. 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. So that makes us a visitor while we are here we who are visitors are called ambassadors. For who can be an ambassador from a country they’ve never had residents in they would not be. 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 that quite obviously have not been to the place they are trying to represent.
Like a baby bird in the nest who prefers a soft pre-chewed worm so to a carnal believer is hooked on parables. This is the same as preferring the old wine for it is better, they reject the new.
Those who pay ties 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. If it does not serve as a crossover Point into the eternal it amounts to nothing but I Dollar Tree. For our Christ has entered into the heavens now not to Tabernacle made by hands but a tabernacle made by God. That is the place of our homage of our sacrifices and are giving. As it says in Isaiah why do you trample my courts with your fist in 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 no 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 she’ll be taken. In those who have an expectation of a future Jesus have nothing 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. Open to that point they were with of man named Jesus and they approached the man Jesus to ask the father for things and because their misconceptual eyes to the sun was they had no access. But 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. Everything else should be burned
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.
♦In previous posts we have talked about “in that day”, “the day of the Lord”, the “Sabbath day”, and “the Lord’s rest” are all descriptives of the same day that has no 24 hour increments. This is the day of the Lord that is the light of the Lamb where there’s no need for the Sun or the Moon. Why? Because the lamb is the source.
We had spoken how John the Apostle was on the Isle of Patmos for the testimony of Jesus Christ and that he was “in the spirit on the Lord’s Day”. It was John who was simultaneously in a hellish hole on Earth and also at the very place where every believer covets to get to. Which is? “In the Lord’s Day”. I too am in the spirit on the Lord’s Day. Here is how.
When Christ chided with the Pharisees he said that “Abraham rejoiced to see My day. He saw it and was glad”. Hmm. Abraham and John both encountered something every Christian would like to. Some call it a 2nd coming. It was “the Wicked servant who said my Lord delays his coming”. But His coming is even now. We call it “the day of the Lord”, “in that day” and the Lord’s Sabbath”. We are “the called “. “Let us strive to enter His day, the Day of His rest”. (Hebrews 4) The Day with no beginning or end. Where the Father is.
This day that we are talking about is not after every day 24 hour day has been expired when time is no more then the Eternal day appears. No we are speaking about the day that pre-existed the days that the 24 hours mimic that exists even now. This place we are talking about is a constant. It is eternal. The place where when “God rested from his works” He is there. The place of his belonging, where “God is light and in him is no darkness at all nor shadow of turning”. The place of “spirit and truth”.
So this day we are talking about is the day that has no mornings or nights. It is the Eternal day that has no beginning or end. It is a constant that shines even now, and it is to this day that we are called to. When? “Today if you will hear His voice, today is the day”. Today is “that day”. And where does this type of light shine? In our heart. “Till the day dawns and the morning light shines in your heart”. This kind of light supersedes and precedes the sun you are familiar with.
Let’s look at John 11 were the report of Lazarus being sick and ready to die is delivered to Jesus. If the death of Lazarus had been a problem for Jesus, it was when He first heard he was sick that he should have cried, and then he should have dropped what he was doing and run to his friend to keep him from dying.
But Jesus remained another two days to make sure that Lazarus was good and dead before he exclaimed that he was going to visit Him. And the reason he remained two days? The death of Lazarus was “for the glory of God to be revealed”. Death for Him is no obstacle, and Gods Glory is our gift. Scripture saying “he who has the Son has life” and “he who believes in Me shall never die”. Do you believe this?
You see it is to the glory of God to show power over death for us to receive life. The glory was to show us that Jesus Christ did not come to Earth to obtain a resurrection for it was Jesus Christ who told Mary “I am the resurrection” and He proved it by raising Lazarus. He did not have to earn the ability to raise the dead for He is the resurrection and the light. This is how he is the same yesterday today and forever. His day has no beginning or end. If we are in Him, we are raised up to the last day and not like at the last day of earth. All the promises of God are yes and amen in Christ. The place they are all fulfilled and not delegated to a point on planet earth.
The point here is that the Day of the Lord and the resurrection is a person and not a place. The “I AM”. He told Mary “I am the resurrection “. And even as the resurrection is not an event but a person. All the descriptives of the Eternal Immortal Realm are elements of God broken down for our consumption for us to assimilate by reassembling them in our mind for us to become godly saints. They all define Immortal Eternal elements not restricted by time or space .
We consume the word of God to be like Him. In this way He is the bread of life come down from heaven. You cannot lay Him out on a timeline to assimilate Him as a series of events happening on planet earth. No you can only actualize by faith in understanding him one revelation at a time in the spirit of your mind. This is your Transfiguration. (2 Corinthians 3.18) “as by the spirit into the self same image. From the Glory to the Glory”. But you have to see this glory to transform to the glory. It is not carnally acertainable.
This is why Paul prayed that the eyes of our understanding would be opened, that we may know the hope of our calling, and that we would know the great power that dwells in us that God demonstrated when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him far above all powers and principalities. For those of us who have experienced this power we too are seated far above all powers and principalities because we are Resurrected in that day. The day that has no carnal entanglements. “Where if even a man or beast touch it he should die”.
So the day of the Lord is not an event but a person. And that person is described in Heavenly Jerusalem as “the Lamb of God” where there’s no need for Sun and Moon “for the lamb is its light”. The Lamb is the focal point and not another soon to become king called Jesus. He was born King saying to Pilate “you rightly say I am a King. For this reason I came.” He doesn’t need to become that either like the false gospel supposes.
Did not John the Baptist say “here comes the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world”? He did not have to become a lamb for his own personal gain but for ours. Everything Christ did was for our gain that we may believe. He did not show us something He was going to be but demonstrated who He already was. We need to learn to believe Him. He is “the same yesterday, today and forever. To Him be the Glory.
Mary was given into a not now but later, next time view, like the false gospel concept look at the Lord. She was looking at Him in a flesh covering and said that he was the Christ who was to come into the world, meaning later. She did not “endure as seeing Him who is invisible”. He was the word who became flesh. A construct that is not natural to Him. Mary was looking to a future event saying “yes Lord, I know you will raise him up at the last day. Meaning future. And after Mary repeated this three times, that Christ was rejected because He wanted to interact with Her in His construct. In His home. In His self. “In Christ”. It was then that Jesus wept. And once again the weeping wasn’t for the death of Lazarus or Christ would have done that when he first heard Lazarus was dying. The Weeping was because Mary could not be convinced that he was the resurrection and to raise Lazarus up to the last day was to raise him in himself. If she couldn’t see it she wouldn’t believe it. She was looking at it (Him) but couldn’t have it because she had no faith to do so. She wanted an event to experience and did not receive Him in her heart. The invisible place for His abode.
This is what every carnal Christian wants. Just the facts. But “flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom” because it is not of this world, not of this creation but a thing of the heart. As Christ said ” O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:. And so they don’t.
Gods day is simultaneous and inseparable as are all the descriptions of God. To be “In Christ” is where all Gods invisible elements are. That Jesus was the resurrection and is the resurrection. This is what the Christ does because this is who He is and not just something He Is going to do later.
So This is the mistake that Mary made as do many of us. We look at “that day”, we look at “the resurrection” and we look at these various descriptions of the work of God in us and we view them as events to behold to the naked carnal eye. In this we error greatly, for as scripture says “seeing with their eyes they see not, hearing with their ears they hear not, for it is with the heart one must see to hear and to understand the things of God“. So some of us do.
For those who see with their carnal eyes and hear with their carnal ears and expect to get something that way? For them it must be precept upon precept and concept upon concept, line upon line, here a little there a little. Why? For them to fall over backwards to get snared and caught. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God in this way so then those who are in the flesh cannot please God because He does not appeal to our senses but our reason.
We are those who “live from Faith to faith, and not by visual events. Rather we transform by the many consecutive revelations one at a time and not a first and second coming. Why. Because we are in that light. The place where there is no darkness. “He who walks in darkness lies and does not do the truth”. We are not confused.
For Isaiah also said of the Christ “with my dead body they shall arise”. And so we do. This we can only do by faith. We profess this at our baptism that we are raised “in Christ”. But then we look for another? Hmm. He says “I stand at the door of your heart. Open up that I may sup with you and serve you with these eternal, invisible delicacies. What you eat you become. This is to partake of the body of Christ and not a wafer.
Paul reiterated these saying “there’s only one baptism one resurrection and one spirit”. And as we’ve stated in the post of Echad that God is one. (Deuteronomy 6.4) Meaning that God is Not defined by a series of events to happen on planet Earth, but a series of Revelations for us to understand him. These revelations are laid out in his word and we call it the bread of life that comes down and gives life to the world”. How? Through the word of God which is the son of God, and not a man. Our food for our spirit. His words are spirit and life. Eternal life.
It was with Lazarus that the Christ showed His resurrection status before he went to the cross. He said “Mary I am the resurrection”. And it is here we say, He is also “the last day”. He is the Lamb of God that gives a light to that 24-hour day as being the source of the radiation and illumination of “the light that shines in the heart of every man”.
As Peter instructed we pay attention to the scriptures “as to a light that shines in a dark place. Till the day dawns and The Morning star is raised in our hearts”. This light that “shines in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” takes no other form. He is that light and it shines in our heart, our place of transformation. He is the Morning Star of the new creation. Which creation we are if we are “in Christ”. In Christ all things become new” In this wy and not another.
So it is here we show that whatever hellish hole you may think you are in, this may be your Patmos, and this too is “for the Glory of God to be revealed” so that you too can be “in the spirit on the Lord’s day” at the exact same time as were Abraham and John and many others like us. We are “The spirits of just men made perfect”.
Christ is “that day” we are talking about which has no clock with no tick tock and no 24 hour increments on 365 day cycles. The place before He said”let there be light” This place we are talking about is not reserved for an end time event or waiting for you to finish off your days on Earth. That is what Mary thought and why our savior cried. To be “raised up at the last day” and not to “the last day”. You see if Christ is seated in the heavenlies and you are with Him and “in Him”, there is no other place to be.
So this is our full sum, duty and purpose to God as we sojourn here. To reassemble these truths, and assimilate these revelations, the true reality inside ourselves in what we call the circumcised heart. This is our place of transformation. To fulfill the request that Christ made to the Father. “Father, that those whom you have given me may be with Me where I am” and so we do. Did the Father reject that request? Did not the Christ say “Father I know that you always hear me”? For “He who spared not His only Son, how shall He not freely give us all things?” And He does. All things “in Christ” are ours now. The very things He enjoys now are already given to us. What a blessedness. What a joy. “My joy I give you not as the world gives, I give you. And in that day no one will take that joy from you” Why? Because you will have arrived to your destination if you are willing to receive it. To be “in That day, the Day of the Lord, the Lords Rest. If you just got this, welcome home. You are the elect.
And from Hebrews 12.22 “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect”. If you allow it to be so.
It is in this way that “The kingdom of God is at hand.” From the foundations of the world. This light is shining and transfiguring even now. The disciples were sent out to preach this Kingdom and God never recanted This message to implement another.
The gospel message is “The Kingdom of God is at hand”. But what does at hand mean? Jesus Christ said that. The disciples were commissioned first with that. (Luke 11)
Revelation 1.3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time at hand.”
John the Apostle in the Book of Revelation began and finished that book with that phrase. He wrote about some things “that must shortly take place for the time is at hand”. (Rev 22.. 6+10) This term “shortly” is also interpreted as “immediate” elsewhere from the Greek in the scriptures and is here attached to the phrase “At hand”. So when John was instructed to “write down these things that much shortly take place for the time is at hand” he is referencing the things he just wrote in the book of “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”.
It was when John was concluding the testimony of Jesus Christ he was told “seal not the Prophecies of this book for the time is at hand.” But many look to those things “AT Hand” and “not to be sealed”, beinh the things “which must immediately take place” and still look for a fulfillment them and they call it “a 2nd coming” when the book will be enforced.
But we tell you a timeless truth. “There are some standing here today that will not taste death before they see the Son of man coming in great Glory and power in His Kingdom”. That some then and now would not experience the physical reality of death before they knew this truth. The truth of his kingdom and his power “At Hand”.
We see the term “AT Hand” defined in Gathseme when Christ spoke these words. “Let us go from here my betrayor is at hand, and while he was still speaking Judas appeared.” Hmmm. Imagine that Jesus spoke the word and it was fulfilled before his words hit the ground. Kind of like when he said let there be light. And there was light. You see His words are relevant and true when He says it. You just need to learn to believe. This is the walk if faith.
John in Revelation was writing of things that were taking place as he wrote them, in his lifetime, and not speaking about events to happen some 2000 plus years later. Once again “write the things that I show you for the time is at hand, the things that much shortly take place”. the book was then concluded saying ‘seal not the prophecies of this book for the time is at hand.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is not a first and second coming, but a constant. One revelation after another untill you absorb His Fulness. He said “this is My body. Take and eat all of Me”. And “of His fullness we have received, grace upon grace”. This revelations piled up one upon another. For how long? Till we all come to a full understanding and stature, to a full measure of Christ”. Do not be like “the wicked servant who said “My master delays His coming” for He dors not delay His coming to those who watch and see Him in His original construct of invisible attributes and not as a carnally tangible thing. You just need to see Him in His immortal construct and not as a man bound to events on planet earth. As Paul said “you observe days months seasons and years. I am afraid I have labored in vain. I labor to have Christ formed again in you, but I have my doubts”. This is the the vail of the second coming.
So the term shortly, immediate and “at hand” which all come from the same Greek text are misunderstood today. For somehow we overlook at the introduction and the conclusion of that book and think that somehow it’s not shortly taking place. It is not that the book is sealed and must wait 2000 years to open it. The Book of Daniel was sealed and speaking of future events, but the Book of Revelation was not.
And this isn’t the only place “At Hand is misunderstood. For when Jesus Christ sent the disciples out stating “the kingdom of God is at hand”, this flew in the face of those who wanted the Kingdom to appear on earth.
It is a current belief that the Lord’s return is imminent, thinking always later and not now. But imminent in English means now. Imminent is a Latin word and is meant as “third person, present and active. Present and active. Who is that?
Imminent. That is what we are talking about. It is that “At Hand” is right now. It is immediate. It is shortly. But if you supposed to see him coming in a carnal way he will pass you by like the thief. For he’s who eternal Immortal and invisible who dwell in immortal light, does not need to appear in any other way to satisfy your carnal illusions. It was the wicked servant who said “my Lord delays his coming”. And it’s James who said “the coming of the Lord is at hand”.
When Christ was first introduced He said “time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand”. This statement was never retracted. But “all things have been fulfilled. They have expired. “All the law and the prophets were until John” the baptist. “Now the Kingdom is preached and all are entering”. But some define the Kingdom as a future event. That the Kingdom is not at hand it is future. They deceive you and offer another Jesus and another Kingdom. One that is not “At Hand”. It was the wicked servant who said “my Lord delays His coming”. And so they do wickedly offer a delaid version of scripture and they call it “the second coming”. They twist the word imminent, immediate and the phrase “At Hand” to mean later. To mean the word is sealed for a 2000 plus years later and subvert the true gospel.
Matthew 23.13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites and 2nd coming purveyors! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. They quite obviously cannot speak about the Kingdom at hand for they believe in another Christ. An anti-christ. The counterfeit. A physical one instead of the invisible.
Volition is a word referring to a personal choice or choosing . For one to direct themselves by their own choices.
Volition is a good word to define that part in each person that they own and are responsible for. When God made man in His likeness He gave us our individual soverienty. God doesn’t take this away. It is our own thinking and choosing that we need to be saved from and not so much external enemies . This is why scripture says that the weapons of our warefare are not carnal but mighty through God for pulling down strongholds and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
Our own thinking is what is part of our Adamic nature. But to us who believe we have the mind of Christ. And it is His thoughts passed on to us by scripture that we dress the loins of our minds with that alleges us with God. Like Paul pleaded ” be ye reconciled “. So we do.
So here is the lesson of personal volition. Adam turned from God and started a trend of departures by building barriers of mental constructs. The first one was to distrust God and allege himself with another. Adam started receiving from another and in so doing cut his strand of provision from God, His faith and trust in God was his invisible embelical cord for blessings. He became a recipient from another source. There are not choices of good and better and best but positive and negative. Because Adam exercised his volition and turned from the best and the highest, he went doqn and started a cycle down. He rejected the positive associated with blessing and chose the negative which brings a curse.
God did not curse Adam but defined the spiritual law of departure saying “the earth shall no longer This is why we are gifted through the gospel with being seated in Christ at the right hand of the Father. This is the call of reconciliation. It is a series of departures adopted by mankind that need to be restored rescripted.
But mankind persists in his own soverienty and volition to be independent and continues to spiral into moral darkness into need of more and more drugs and programs. And because the fall of Adam did not happen to his body by sustaining bruises or broken bones, his fall was in the spirit of His mind which has a gravitational pull but no bottom or place to land whose end is utter darkness. This place is called outer darkness in scripture and is the conclusion to those who reject the light of God we call revelation, being an unstoppable radiance as “the light that shines in the heart of every man” indicating the invisible reality into side us.
If you can imagine an astronaut falling through space. He is drifting and his air supply breaks. He now has no tether to return. Such is a man who rejects God
So the fall accurately defined is man’s disconnect from God. Man does not receive the things of God and spirals out of control away from God. Being in a fallen state is being dead to the things of God. It is acknowledging this and repenting that stops the fall and reverses the effects of the Fall. We do this by renewing the Mind according to scripture. This is called the resurrection. It is like the astronaut yet having his Air Supply Severn who is been drifting out of control who is essentially classified as dead. and faith B&R umbilical cord to God when one turns to God by faith and believes but erasing the disbelief of his a damnit nature this one who believes is now a live. This is what it means when scripture says he who has the son has life he who has not the son has not life. And as it says in Romans a quote from Deuteronomy 33 that One Believes with the heart with the mouth confession is made for the saving.
And once the pronouncement is made the falling stops. The one who now believes has plateaued at the place where they are., this then becomes the reconciliation to God or better yet very connected to God. In the journey but this transformation takes us back to where Adam had fallen from.
Adam in the beginning had not become completed in his design until after he ate from the forbidden fruit for it was only then that God said no man has become like one of us to know good and evil and lest he put forth and eat of the Tree of Life there for Adam and Eve were discharged from the garden.
So as long as Adam was walking with God innate horizontal relationship being parallel and being equal the plan was not complete. It was part of God’s design that man should choose for if he had not chosen he had not awaken to his own volition. So volition without a choice without a contrast is not using it all and volition would have been dead. It is all volition and our ability to choose that makes it able to choose and be god-like or to choose not to be done like. And when we choose not God we choose the contrast of God being the lower because God is upper God is good God is love God is light. The choice is then the contrast in the abstracts of those truths.
So this place that we’ve just spoken of with the astronaut out of control is essentially the spirit of your mind. And this is the reason why it is said that the weapons of our Warfare are Mighty for pulling down strongholds and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge and an understanding of God. It is that these Concepts seemingly truths that are untrue that we are stubborn headed about that we hold onto dearly are the very things that stand in the way of us receiving the high degree in the upward calling in Christ Jesus which is a parallel existence a horizontal existence and not a vertical one. It is the gospel message that is vertical only till we come to an understanding come to the knowledge of the fullness and an exactitude of the Sun. It is here that we accept a polarity and a equal this with God becoming one with God and fully connected to God which is the purpose of the Gospel to disconnect us from the fall and reconnected to the father. And this is why the second coming message as such a destructive concept. For it takes the invisibility of God turns them into a carnal constructs and tells you it happens in a place in time on planet Earth and that cannot nor ever will be God because everything that can be shaken will be shaken and all the Earth in its work shall be burned for the Eternal to remain so that is where we shall be found.

The religiously carnal Christian and the orthodox Jew is at odds with God in this way. They are always trying to make visible the invisible things of God. This is how “the carnal mind is enmity against God”. They interpret scripture in a way to be seen. Be it Jerusalem or the temple or the sacrifices or the feasts or the man they call the 2nd coming Jesus, which is just a regurgitation of scripture by re-packaging Christ to the same perspective as the Jews were condemned for. These things will not be. All the law and the prophets are visible concepts to be sown corruptible in their carnal visual form, then raised incorruptible and invisible in understanding in the spirit of the mind which is their proper domain. Where they pre-exist.
It is us who are called not to look to the things that are seen but the unseen saying “since you are risen with Christ, seek the things that are above” and not below. Not the carnally visible. The seen are just shadows of eternal realities of “the Kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world”. They are shadows of the building blocks we construct with from before time and matter ever started. These are things above. For the things seen are shadows but not the essence. The shadows are temporal (on a time frame) but the things that are unseen are eternal. Meaning ubiquitous, anytime, anywhere.
It is “in Him whom we live, dwell and have our being”. He doesn’t need to reappear to the carnal senses to accomplish something as though He is not yet. He is “the one who was and is”, not the one “who is and is not and must become”. He is our prize and our prize is immorality.
This is our calling home and our homeland. We “look for the city whose builder and maker is God”, made of eternal and invisible to the human eye, building blocks and not something like stone or granite. This is our journey and sojourn-ship to arrive there. This is our responsibility and our duty. We were redeemed with the incoruptible and not with corruptible things like silver and gold.
This is why Paul discarded a Pharisaic future earthly kingdom mindset and learned to say that “we are no longer strangers but citezines and fellow members of the household of God” now. Made of the things that are timeless, eternal, invisible and immortal. For the things that are seen will be shaken and removed for the carnally intangible to remain. This is the only thing real, true and enduring. This is our reality. All others fail. 2 Peter 3.10
Revelation 22.11 For the time is coming when “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous[e] still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
It is us who have acquired things in the spirit, who retain the things we have received by faith as our real self. The new man imaged like God as seen in the face of Christ. 2 Cor 3.18
Ephesians 4.22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to (just like) God, in true righteousness and holiness.” attaining to all the eternal, invisible attributes given to us “in Christ”. This has nothing to do with a rapture. For “flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdom”.
We are no longer reckoned in the Adamic human race of the downward spiral but the spirit in Christ being as invisible “as He is so our we in this world”. Not as he was temporarily as a man, but made up of invisible things as is He. “For you are living stones having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and the prophets Christ being the chief corner stone”. We who have assembled His self in us are the city of the living God being “living stones. “Where 2 or more are gathered in My Name, there I am” and so He is.
Our new association never fades or gets old. It is the constantly new eternal in which we abide and retain by faith, which is our invisible imbecilic cord to the Almighty God. Which is our faith. This is true holiness being invisible. In this way we are saints pure, true and clear. We are in the world but not of the world, not of this creation being “a kind of first fruits (now) of His creation”. Being “born by a word of truth” and not another construct of time and matter.
If you are “the called” out to be “in Christ” this is your calling, purpose direction and destiny. This is for your glory. The Fathers glory given to us and we fulfill the words of Christ saying “Father that they may be with me where I am” and “I say that not only to these standing here today but also to those who believe in their words” and also “Father the glory you have given me, I gave given them for the world to know” So we do. Christ said “I and the Father are one” and we are one with them. We are In Christ.
This is the gathering. “Oh Jerusalem how I would’ve gathered you as a hen gathers her chicks” and She does if you let Her. This is our gathering to these ubiquitous heavenly truths that never expire eternal in the heavens of your mind. For “the heavens cannot contain God” but the heavens of our mind can because this is what makes us the temple of the living God and not an earthen construct on earth called Jerusalem.
Didn’t Paul say that earthen Jerusalem is in bondage? But the Jerusalem above is the mother of us all”? Who is your mother? The one on earth? Or the one that comes down form heaven”?
Seek not the things below. That Jerusalem was given to be carnally sown corruptible then raised in understanding in concept to the spirit of the mind which is Her proper domain. We being born from above are not the kind belonging to water like a fish, or beasts of the field or birds of the air but a different kind. Not of the expanse of the sea or the air or the stars but the spirit.
Are you this kind? Spirit and truth? “If we show you earthly things and you do not understand, how can we show you the heavenly” invisible? For “seeing with their eyes they see not, and hearing with their ears they hear not because it is with the heart one must see and hear to understand the things of God.
Why does God have to go somewhere as though there is a place He is not, and why must He come again as though He ever left us for He is the “lo I am with you always”
Righteousness vs. Condemnation, Girding the loins of the mind and the priests head set.
What the preists symbolized for us by putting on their wordrobe represents for us what we do in the spirit of our mind. The head set is guarding the mind with correct thinking. This is the same as Nehemiahs building the wall first. This was to protect the temple and we are the temple of God. This is our sanctification. Let nothing that defiles get in.
Righteousness is the absence of condemnation. Righteousness is right standing with God. Paul said “there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not according to the flesh but according to the spirit.” The condemnation we are talking about is not condemnation from God so much as it is the self inflicted condemnation of the conscience. Condemnation is the main emotion and motivator in the mind that is taken into the cycle of addictions. This is what fuels the addictive cycle. This is the soul who is separate from God. The soul is the place where only God can fit. It is empty and wanting to be filled. They feel the pain of this emptiness and need to be anesthetized and therefore they are giving into all sorts of addictions, be they legal or illegal. Religious duties are likewise addictive without reward. It is the continual confessions at church on Sundays being an addictive cycle that never fills. The pain never goes away. Christ said “He who drinks of Me shall never thirst” and we are filled.
It says in the book of Hebrews that all the blood of the bulls and goats only indicated that there was sin, but that Jesus Christ took sin away to perfect forever those who are coming to him. And “the conscience once purged would have no more conscientisness of sin”. And “blessed is the man in whom the Lord accounts no sin, blessed is the man whose lawless deeds are covered up”. This is us who receive this. He is the great High Priest for this purpose. He is the only link between God and man of a broken relationship caused by transgressions and departures from the living God.
We see condemnation first with cane who said “my punishment is more than I can bear.” His countenance was fallen and was sick with scripture saying “if you do well it will be well with you but sin is like a demon crouching at your door whose desire is for you, to rule over you, but you must master it.” People who do not do well by making their own definition of what well is, strive to compete and fight and struggle and lie and cheat at their core. This only increases self condemnation. It makes the struggle of addiction harder.
The tools that control people with a guilty conscience are condemnation, fear and intimidation. Any such relationship that uses fear and intimidation is designed only to control you by fear. Fortunate for us we can cleanse a fear-based conscience by the gospel. We can be renewed in the mind by the word. Even as scripture says that “we being delivered from the hands of our enemies and all that hate us are able to live all the days of our lives without fear before God in true holiness and righteousness”. Didn’t the Apostle John say “he who fears has not been made perfect in love because fear involves torment”.
It is as we learn to walk with the Lord where there is no condemnation we see the enemy of fear coming. We learn that fear itself is much bigger than the thing that we feared. Like Jacobs fear of Esau. Upon the confrontation Jacob said “in your face I have seen the face of God”. And as the disciples showed in the boat that was rocking back and forth that immediately they receiving the Lord into the boat, the boat was immediately where they wanted to be. “In Christ”. This is our answer to the Rocky storms that fear brings in our life. This is the peace of God “the peace I give you not as the world gives give I to you”.
The fear of the unknown is perhaps the biggest monster in our lives from the kid who’s afraid to get out of bed in the middle of the night because of the monsters under the bed, to those who wonder what their end will be, who will feed them, and who will take care of them. We all fear these things but as the Lord told Abraham I am your Shield your exceedingly great reward. If we learn to apply this and walk in it, our enemies become our meat. It is our spiritual food for growth. Condemnation is a motivation by fear. This is the emotion of the fallen mind.
We are instructed to “take on the shield of Faith which is able to quench all the fiery darts of the enemy”, not just some. We see this over and over in scripture. We see David sling stones at Goliath and hitting him right between the eyes. We can do the same thing. We speak a word of Truth. “We Believe therefore we speak” as spoken by David and Paul quoted. And the thing that we say becomes our new reality. Like Him who said “let there be light” and there was light”. This is the way we show ourselves offspring of the Father. The Works of the father in us. We are His. There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ so there should be no fear motivating factors. The peace of God has spoken saying “My peace I give you not as the world gives therefore let your heart not be troubled or afraid.” If we are allowing condemnation to rule in our hearts, we are taken captive by the enemy to do his bidding. He is the accuser, and accusation produces condemnation in a mind that has not been purged by the blood of the lamb.
So we respond to condemnation with word. That is our tool of faith for those in the faith, for those who have had their conscience purged by the Word as directed by the Spirit. This is for us who represent “The Kingdom of God at hand “. Selah
It was John the Baptist who said of Christ “here comes the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” for the renewal to commence.
John was a man sent forth by God. It was said of John the Baptist that of all the prophets he was the greatest, and he was the greatest because he spoke plainly something that all the other prophets just alluded to. And that is that “the Kingdom of God is at hand”. And he didn’t mean some silly city on earth called Jerusalem. That was turned “till not one stone was left upon another”. You see no other prophet put it so plainly and so clearly than that the kingdom of God is something to be grasped. “At Hand”. The disciples in Luke 11 were told to proclaim it and this command was never retracted.
All the law and the prophets were until John the baptist, from that time the Kingdom the Kingdom is preached and all are pressing in”? Yes! Because “all the law and the prophets were parables”. Yes they were pictures and play things to mimic the invisible ever ready, ubiquitous heavenly Kingdom at hand. The law and the prophets were visible things to learn of the invisible, to teach by carnal visuals of things we need to understand in the spirit of our mind of the “Kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world”.
The Kingdom of God is a pre-incarnate reality in the spirit that rules over all things. And “when that which is perfect has come”? This is the regenerate re-formatted mind of faith that co-rules and co-reigns in the Son who is with the Father. Rev 3 “He who overcomes shall rule with a rod of iron”? And so we do. And this happens how? 1 John 5 “how is it that we overcome the world? By faith. This is the overcoming by scripture and need not another earthly Jesus or another city called Jerusalem to do so. “He who overcomes shall be a pillar in the house of God”. Yes! An invisible construct to uphold the truth.
The church is called to overcome. But many are stuck in the visuals like the Jews did and were rejected saying “when does the Kingdom appear?
Visible things are not of faith but fact. They are not of the eternal in the spirit but of the building blocks of time and matter. But we are called to look to the invisible, to invest there. “while we look not to the things that are seen, for the things that are seen are temporary but the unseen is eternal” 1 cor 4.13 Look at this.
We are called to excersize faith in this way. We are taught to seek God in this way saying “since you then are risen with Christ, seek the things that are above”. So this is how we are risen. A second coming Jesus doesn’t raise us, the gospel does. The invisible God does. Didn’t we just quote a verse that says that we are raised?
And “without faith it is impossible to please God”? Yes, and because God is invisible, we need to use the invisible tools of the trade. Faith. This is our imbelical cord to the Almighty. And we need to speak the word. These are the works of Christ. And these are the greater works we do.
Every clock has a starting point and an expiration date, but not the things of God. That is what eternal means and what we get. That which was before God ever said “Let there be light!” It is “that which was, and is, and is to come”. That changeth not”. You change. You change your mind. You are renewed in the spirit of your mind.
So no visible city or king and kingdom on earth ever are the fulfillment of Gods word. Like Jesus said “My Kingdom is not of this world”. Not of time and matter.
Learn what this means ” Where there are prophecies they will fail, But when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part is done away with”. That is what this is.
When Moses was insrtucted to “make things according to the pattern you saw on the mount” he was to make visible the invisible from where “if even a man or a beast touches they will die”. This is the purpose of every true prophet. To make visible the invisible things of God and His Kingdom, A place where flesh and blood can’t go but only to the re-spirited mind of faith as touching the invisible. And this is the whole purpose of the gospel, that those who are born of the spirit, being those who receive the invisible to be more concrete than any substance of time and matter, that is those born of the spirit who see and enter the kingdom now for “all are pressing in”. We don’t need a 2nd coming Jesus.
So here is the demise of John the baptist. He was beheaded. He said “are you the coming one or do we seek another?”Yes he was a parable too. He pictured that the only place man can take you to is the end of themselves, their time. The old mindset of the parable has to be cut off and replaced with “that which is perfect” which is perfect in understanding. That “God has given us everything that pertains to life and God-like-ness by the knowledge of Him who calls us to Glory”.
As Christ’s mind struggle was at Golgotha, the skull, so is ours. This is why it is said of John “There is no one born among women greater than he, but he who is least in the kingdom is greater than John, so we are. John failed as the greatest prophet and shown when he sent to Jesus saying “are you the coming one? This is why Jesus said “I do not recieve my testimony from man, for He knew what was in man. The need to be born again, of a different make up than time and matter. “To as many as recieved Him, to them He gave power to become His children. That is those who “are a kind of first fruits now and need not another Jesus to do this.
They were all seeking a kingdom, and Jesus sent word back “tell him the things you see” So we do. Christ has come savior of the world and provided us the way. Himself saying “I am the way the truth and the light. And time must expire for eternity to begin
Christ is the new and living. The old didn’t work. Remember “Father if there be any other way? Never the less thy will be done”. And He did. And He said “It is finished”. This is about as close to Thomas you will ever get. “Stick your fingers in my side and see” This is “That which we have heard, which we have seen and handled concerning the word of life”. And this is the “Word that became flesh and dwelled among us” who returned to the Father and calls us to Himself, the new and living way that expired the law and the prophets. They were put out of business by Jesus saying “Father that where I am they may be also” Him who said “I go away to the Father and you see me no more”? And Paul’s revelation “We once knew Christ of the flesh, henceforth we know Him that way no more”. Not ever again. The Word was in the beginning! The word was God! The Word was with God! The word Became flesh (not His natural composition) and dwelled among us” to return home like the parable of John 13.. So “to as many as received Him He gave power to become His children” is not those who recieved the man Jesus but the word. Which one is your Jesus? The man? Or the Word?
Look and behold it is Me and not another. Did I not say “Lo I am with you through the ages”? That “I will never leave you or forsake you? I am the same “Yesterday, today and forever”? Yes it is Me. It is I who “stands at the door and knocks”. Behold Me. I am the coming one coming through Word. I am Word in My natural composition and this is how I come. Not a first and a 2nd coming but over and over and over. Your “lord delays not His coming”. For the Lord who does not tarry comes to you now in Word form. This is the bread of life that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. Recieve me this way and not a silly waffer. Or worse another coming man for another coming kingdom on earth. John sent forth word “Are you the coming one?” That mindset was chopped off showing the “putting off the body of sin of the flesh” to be renewed in thinking. This is your rapture and you being “translated into the kingdom”.
Any other gospel message that comes short of taking away the sins of the world is incomplete. Any other message that teaches of a future saving or a future victory over Satan, sin or death in any other way is a false gospel, a truncated gospel. But “we speak of what we’ve heard and testify to the things that we have seen that God has sent His Son as Savior of the world”. The victory of the Cross is sufficient for these things. The “blood of Christ through the eternal spirit” was enough. “PAID IN FULL!”
When John said “The Kingdom of God is at hand”. That is as far as man goes. He can deliver the Word. The rest is up to you. “To as many as believed, to them He gave power to become His children”. Did you recieve that? Not the later coming Jesus but Me? Word? I gave you the keys to the Kingdom. Use them and enter in.
Paul spoke about sowing and reaping in 1st Corinthians 15 for something to be sown corruptible raised incorruptible. First is the carnal, second is the spirit. It is these little jewels that we find in Scripture that we sow in our circumsized hearts that we process in the spirit of our mind to be raised in understanding.
These constructs we talk about are to be raised in understanding and not laid out on a calender as Paul had learned saying “You observe days months seasons in years I am afraid for you that I have labored in vain”. It is not a one-time event of the body dying to be lifted back up or raised back up for it shall return to the dust. We learn by degree. We are transfiguredoing in this way.m
This is us putting on our new garments much like Joseph’s coat of many colors. He was thrown into a pit, his garments were ripped and passed out and he was left for dead like our Lord. Or like Isaiah “shake yourself from the dust of the earth and put on your beautiful garments”.
Because God is eternal invisible and immortal, it is as we put on these things displayed for us by word, we become Godly.
When Christ became flesh and dwelt Among us, he demonstrated that God could coexist in a human body saying “for in him dwells the fullness of the godhead body”. And “you are complete in him who is the head of all principalities and power”, giving us hope to set out for that task.
So it is as Paul says that “since we then be risen with Christ, which if you have received that scripture, you are. The resurrection is a foregone conclusion. Now that we are risen with Christ and “In Christ” we should seek the things that are above” to aquire and put on in the loins of your mind. As Paul frequently said to put on Christ, lest we be found naked. All the things we are asked to cloth ourselves with are invisible attributes. To cloth ourselves with Him, His garments.
It is as we look into the law and the prophets and the feast and the ceremonies, that we learn and understand of the invisible attributes of God in the way that he relates to us while we are in our humanity.
God is not going to become a construct of time and matter. Oh contrare. We transform, meaning transfigure into Him. That is our whole purpose of faith. God is not a created thing of time and matter like the 2nd coming seekers suppose. It is us that put on eternal things.
We are not prisoners in our humanity. It is perfectly capable of experiencing the fullness of the Godhead because our mind being a greater expanse than the external heavens that houses the spirit of God in which we have communion.
Communion is to be one with God, to have all things in common with Him. “We are a new creation, and “all things become new” in our understanding by sowing and reaping. And the things we have in common with him is him. In this way we are heirs and Joint heirs with Christ Jesus. The forever things are unchangeable always new never fading. Creation fades. Creation will be burned for the eternal to remain. (2 Peter 3 ) Let us be found their clothed in Christ by what we have reaped.
So “we are being transformed into the same full image from the glory to the glory of the Lord as by the spirit”. This takes place now as “we behold the face and the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ”. What can’t be seen with the human eyes can be seen through God’s holy word.
So understanding this is the place of our transformation, our Galgatha, the battle of our mind. We see him as he is, we become like him. We become pure even as He is pure.
Pure meaning invisible. That is why John the Apostle in his first epistle said “the world does not know us because it does not know Him. And the part about us the world does not know is the part about him they could not know carnally. They reject the invisible attributes seen in the Son. We accept them and receive them. And it is these invisible attributes that we received that they reject because they want to see it with their physical eyes.
“No man has seen God at any time” but the Son declares Him. And it is written of the Holy Spirit that “will take what is Mine and manifest it to you”. Yes, but not in a carnal way. We are begotten anew by the Word and Spirit
Christ said “he who has seen Me has seen the Father”. This thing we are talking about is seen with a different set of eyes and ears of the composition of time and matter but our new eyes and ears. “To him who has ears to hear”. So we do.
The sowing that we do in the reaping that we do is in our hearts. These things are not planted in dirt. Our circumsized heart becomes our Garden of Eden.
Paul in his discourse of sowing and reaping in 1 Corinthians 15 used a term “each one in their own order” showing us that it has nothing to do with a 2nd coming. Those who wait to transfigure in that way are neutralized from their growth and don’t understand that we are to “follow those who through faith and patience inherit the promises”. They think the inheritance is later. For it is “the slothful steward who says the Lord delays His coming”.
So He comes to us consecutively in His word for He is the Word of God manifest or unveiled in this way for a new understanding.
Death is commonly defined by as a lifeless body. Something that is unable to move on its own having no responses and no senses, cold and limp. In a state of decay.
But God defines death in different terms saying to Adam at the tree “in the day that you eat of it you show surely die”. We know that physically his body lived on for some 900 plus years, but in the day that he ate of the tree he surely died because he lost the Spirit of God. For it was God having created Adam from dust then breathing in him stated that he became a living soul but of Adam when he fell he lost the Spirit of God in his soul and became dead. Like Jesus said of the prodigal son “this one who is dead has returned to me and now is alive therefore cloth him with the finest garments and apparel”.
It was Paul who said “you who once dead in your trespasses and sins, now you have been made alive in Christ.”
This is what God does to us through Christ as he clothes us in Christ in the finest clothing and apparel being Christ himself, we put this on. This is our gift from God in Christ. We put on this righteousness and put off our Adamic self righteousness.
The first man was breathed into by God and became a living being. When that man sinned he lost the Spirit of God and became spiritually dead. And so all humanity is dead to the things of the immortal eternal invisible God and Gods boundless timeless eternal always ready called the Kingdom at hand. To this we need to be made alive. To be quickened. This is the purpose for the gospel. To restore us to this position with Him. To be reborn of the spirit. “That which is flesh is flesh and that which is spirit is spirit, ye must be born again”. And “only those born of the spirit can see and enter the Kingdom”. John 3
This then is the reason why man must be born again to be like Adam before the fall. He needs to receive the breath of God and become a human being and a living soul. This is why Paul said we conclude that if one man died for all that all are dead. It is that man being born again, being born from above, is born of a new spirit. That’s what makes us new. We are then a new creation. That’s why Paul goes on to say “therefore we regard no one according to the flesh” that in Christ we are a new creation. “The old things have passed away all things become new”. And this “becoming new” is us being restored to what Adam lost receiving the breath of God and becoming alive. Becoming alive as it is “in Christ” saying “he who has the Son has life he who has not the Son has not life”. 1 John 5
So then the definition of what death is, is not by human standards of being a lifeless body but according to God’s standards, it is by not having his spirit and not having interaction with him through his spirit to His things in spirit for “God is spirit and truth and seeks such”. To become dead is to become separate from God in spirit. To loose the eternal spirit and return to the dust is the body’s destiny.
Man was removed from the garden saying “He drove man out of the garden and placed a flaming sword which turned every way to guard the tree of life, Lest he eat and live forever”. Lest he become eternal. He lost the spirit and access to the fruit of life he became a walking dead. And so goes all humanity. They do not have the spiritual facilities to interact with the always present invisible God. The “lo I am with you always”. The Lord who says “I change not”. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever”.
All the animals are dead to God. And this is what man became in the fall. Intuitively he fell from the ability to interact with God because he could not see or hear Him. This is why scripture speaks to those who “have ears to hear”. It is the fallen man who reads scripture that turns the message into religious observances for the human to do. But it is us who “come to the light to clearly see that what is required of me is done in God. (John 3.21) We receive the gift.
It is through the religious observances that we can learn about God and redemption “but when that which is perfect comes, then that which is in part is done away with”. That which is perfect is a new understanding, and that is what expires the observances. As Paul described in Galatians that “we are under guardians and teachers until faith comes” not until a 2nd coming Jesus. There will never be a carnal conclusion like the 2nd coming gospel supposes. It was to the spirit that man fell and that is the redemption. Spirit. Scripture says that “flesh and blood will not inherit the Kingdom “. But our born again spirited man does rule over what used to be a lifeless body.
This is the main conclusion in the book of Romans and chapter 8. It is the spirit of Him who raised Christ from the dead, who now lives in you who gives life to your dead body. That if we live by the mandates of the flesh we remain dead, but if by the spirit we put off the dead deeds of the body and put on the new man, we live while we have this decaying mortality. And as many as are led by the spirit? These are Gods offspring. So humanity is divided into two groups. Those “in Adam” of whom it is said “in the day that you eat you shall surely die, and those “in Christ”. In His day we shall surely live. This is resurrection of spirit which is life and not the body like a rapture for “flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom. (1 Corinthians 15)
So it is the carnal man who interprets scripture in a way that relates to his carnal senses that does not receive the things of God because ‘ the carnal man cannot understand the things of God because they must be spiritually discerned, comparing spiritual things with the spirit”.
It is in this way that the end time theories only temporarily appease the carnal senses. After the expiration of one theory they run to another and they totally miss out on knowing Him who wisks around us. He need not manifest Himself in a visible way for our calling is to become like Him. Our heavenly calling has to do with our invisible part. This is to become Godly. If He becomes visible then He would be a transgressor of His own immutable laws. He would become something that is foreign to Him. If He becomes a figure in time and matter He would destroy that too for we are called not to look at what is seen. For what is seen is temporary but that which is unseen is eternal”. Even as Peter says that “all things shall be burned so that what is eternal (invisible) will remain”. And those in the faith chapter “who look to the city whose building and maker is God”.
So it is those who do not “have ears to hear or eyes to see” who know Gods works but do not know His ways because they are looking to time and matter and not the invisible. These are dead to the things of God. “He who has the Son has life, he who has not the Son has not life” 1 John 5
It was the Pharisees who expected a physical Kingdom set up with a physical Savior and King on earth as seen in Luke 17.20+ saying “when does the Kingdom appear”. And Christs reply? “It cometh not with (carnal) observation for the Kingdomof God is within you”. Meaning it takes no physical form visible to the human eye. As it says in John 3 that only those born again can see the Kingdom of God. See they could not. The Pharisees were still looking without for something that is within
Now Pauls starting point was a Pharisee of Pharisees of the most religious sect so don’t be surprised that his writings started off with some of those concepts. Even as we see Paul try to have Timothy circumsized in Jerusalem after his encounter with Christ. Paul later taught that we are of the invisible circumsision of the heart as the true Jew and not of the physically flesh.
Yes like all the Pharisees he was looking for a physical manifestation of a savior, King and Kingdom to appear on earth. From this he had to be transformed by the Spirit.
The Pharisees also believed in the resurrection, but not the resurrection of faith but of fact. Terms like “the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven, and the resurrection are all misunderstood by the Pharisaic mind as carnally experienced events for the eyes to behold. We have the same blindness among us today.
As a Pharisee Paul believed in the resurrection and a physical savior in a physical City. From this Paul/Saul needed to be transformed in mind from and saved. He conveyed this to us saying “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind”. And he learned that “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God pulling down strongholds and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God”. Where? In the mind and not as visible events played out on planet earth.
The book of Acts spells out the qualifications to be an apostle to replace Judas as “one who witnessed the resurrected Lord. And Paul did, but not the way you think. He did not witness the event at the cross or the events after the empty tomb. But on the way to Damascus he saw a light 7 times brighter than the sun, brighter than humanly possible. Jesus said “Paul, for this reason I have appeared to you”. He took no carnally visible form. This is what qualified Paul as the 12th by being one who had witnessed the resurrection and one who had seen the Lord not as a man but in His true construct of light unknowable to the human senses as “the light that shines in the heart of every man.” Yes Paul had “endured as seeing Him who is invisible.” (Hebrews 11) Do you?
Paul had persecuted the people of the Way for believing in a resurrection and a kingdom different than the physical one that was common to him as a Pharisee. The difference between the two views was so large in fact that Paul was qualified as an enemy of Christ. He consented to the murdering the people of The Way. The people of the Way perused the Kingdom and the resurrection as attainable. They were not of the crowd of “sit and wait”.
So as one who is qualified having seen the Lord to be a true apostle Paul had to become a witness unto the resurrection. Paul strove for just this cause as he explained to Harod “think it not strange that God raises the Dead?” who also pointed out that this was the resurrection that “the fathers strove night and day hoping to attain”. Not an event to wait for or something to be experienced after the body dies.
Paul acknowledged in Philippians that he sought to “lay hold of why Christ laid hold of” him, to attain to the richness and the fullness of Christ, to become a perfect man, “to attain to the resurrection” one revelation at a time saying “to the degree so walk ye in it”. He said that all who are mature are seeking the resurrection. But the resurrection that he was seeking was not like he had thought when he was a Pharisee. They expected the physical body to rise, which is why he said later that “flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom”. The old mindset only made him at odds with the true Christ who said “why do you kick against the goads?
The purpose for Paul was to transform from a Pharisee expecting a physical kingdom to experience revelation by degree, one revelation after the other until he attain to the resurrection, to attain his full status as “a fellow member and citezine of the house of God in the here-and-now for that was his calling and goal. This too is for us to learn from Paul’s journey “by degree”. Let us go up to Jerusalem in our understanding.
Paul was “chief among sinners”. The Word Chief is from the Greek Word “protos” which is where we get the Word prototype. Paul was a prototype for us to be able to make the same transition from expecting an earthly kingdom of God for a heavenly one.
saying “that Christ would show in me first a pattern, yes a progression, for all to believe “. For all with a Pharasitic mindset to transition out of that beleif. To be saved from. Paul was saved from his old Jewish mindset, like the revisitation of the one even in our day. That one is not for God, but the anti-Christ.
So Paul learned to understand that the Kingdom of God is not to carnally assimulate. He said “flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdom ” but the inner man of the Spirit does. The one made in His image brought forth by word and spirit being “a kind of first fruits of His creation” of invisible components and of eternal composition.
This is the object of our faith. Anybody who seeks Christ in any other way than Paul encountered in the bright light is looking for God to appear in the construct that is not natural to him. Earth. As it is written “I am the Lord, I change not”. This is the very reason why if one does come in the way the Pharisees accept or expect of a physical Kingdom in a physical City they are misled and their leaders are Pharasees, sons of Satan and a brood of vipers, whited sepulchers full of dead mans bones. Those are the words of Jesus to that bunch. They are not entering the kingdom “At Hand” and are not allowing those who are trying to do so to enter”. And if God does honor the end time seekers desire of a visible Kingdom, than He would have to apologize to the Jews for condemning them for that very thing.
And so it is Christianity Today that predominantly proclaims another coming Christ with an earthen fabricated kingdom with another saving act like the Pharisees anticipated. Being spiritually blind they never say what Christ told them to. “Go village to village and house to house proclaiming the kingdom of God is at hand”. They parallel and align themselves with the Pharisees of old having a mindset of Christ and His kingdom in an earthen construct saying “when does the Kingdom of God appear” and they call it a 2nd coming. With this they devise theories with raptures and resurrections and earthly destruction. So many in fact that it has scattered God’s flock all over the place. What confusion. Who authored that? It’s just a re-hash of expired and fulfilled parables designed only to help the mind understand the invisible realities of God in a way for us to be one with Him now. To be reconciled to Him as Paul pleaded “be ye reconciled to God”. He is “eternal, immortal and invisible ” So we shouldn’t expect Him to become physical to please our carnal senses. He is not physical for “the Father is spirit and truth and seeketh such. We are remade in the spirit of our mind to interact with Him perfectly. It is in this way that we are temples of the Living God.
The purpose of all the law, the sacrifices, the feasts and the prophets were only to clear the conscience and make visible the invisible components, concepts and attributes of the “lo I am with you always”. “Christ, the same yesterday today and forever”. Hebrew 11.8
So it is those who reject God in this way wonder why there’s no power in their gospel. By expecting a physical Kingdom in this way they allege themselves with the Pharisees of old who were condemned, and come to the same conclusion. They regurgitate scripture and come up with the same conclusion saying the Kingdom comes with carnal observation and deny the saving of faith. They call it a 2nd coming. This is a phrase that is not found once in scripture.
The power to defeat death has now become a gospel to hold in limbo and wait for another. Isn’t that what the Pharisees were doing saying “when does the kingdom come?” Of whom the Christ answered “it cometh not with observation”. Their Christ was looking at them ready to save them then and they rejected, despised and killed Him.
If you believe what Saul/Paul did and you see this luminous revelation, you should commence your journey and sojournship as pilgrims from a physical, visible Kingdom as did Paul. Depart from the end time seeker sit and waits and join the followers of The Way. Christ saying “I am the way, the truth and the light”.
We are of those whom it was written of that “they looked for the city whose builder and maker is God”. Whose construct is superior to time and matter being “the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundations of the world”. Even as Paul finally understood in Colossians that “if you then be risen with Christ, and we are, then seek the things that are above”. Yes where Christ sits. And “while we look to the unseen, for the things that are seen are temporal but the things that are unseen, the invisible, are eternal. In this way Paul transitioned from being a Pharisee expecting a physical kingdom on earth, to entering the Kingdom in the here and now as should we.
If we follow Paul through the succession of Revelations “to the degree ye are able” then we too can hope to acquire the resurrection. Not only that, but we can see by his consecutive revelations an exchange takes place. An old mindset for a new mindset. An old concept for a new concept a physical for an invisible.
That is why we are asked to be renewed in the spirit of our mind for that is our invisible place for the invisible God. In this way we are the temples of the Living God and not a construct of matter on planet earth called Jerusalem. We are complete in him who is the head of all principality and Power and “it is in Him we live and dwell and have our being”. We are in CHRIST our destination. We do not need a physical Jesus to be “raised and seated” meaning resurrected and empowered in the Kingdom for we have this (Eph 2.8) And As Isaiah said of the Lord.”with My dead body they shall arise”. And so we do.
We have to learn to quit seeing God as a 3rd party distant, disconnected entity needing to reappear physically to complete His work because “it is finished”. We do not need a 2nd coming physical appearing for saving. He is the “lo I am with you always”.
It was Paul who laboriously stated “be ye reconciled to God the Father” for this purpose for ‘today is the day of salvation.” And “the gospel is the power of God into salvation” and not another coming Jesus
It is this article and this chapter as all subsequent chapters are meant to define and explain and reason without doubt that the kingdom of God is just as much at hand and available now as it was when Christ first proclaimed it. Amen
The Kingdom of God is at hand! He is present to perform His work in us now.
The father’s manifesto of himself is his son. His son has articulated him to perfection. The Son said it is finished. Nothing else needs to be said. His life was the Fathers word broken down into mentally consumable bites called revelation. Here are some of His closing words to us said for our safety and security.
Our sanctification
Jesus Christ said father I pray not that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from evil.
Christ told Abraham the same thing saying “I am your Shield, your exceedingly great reward”. This defines our sanctification. This is what it means to be “in Christ”. We are shielded. We who have this are protected from evil by word. The same mind that said “let there be light” said “keep them from Evil” and God the Son in Word form went to Abraham and said “I am your Shield, your exceedingly great reward”. This is what Adam lost and departed from. This is part of the restoration. And if God is our Shield what can get past God? As though he has a blind spot? As though our Shield has holes in it?
This we have as long as we participate in our sanctification to become holy. And if we keep his word, He says He will come to us and make his home in US. For some of us he has already done that. We are equipped with him. WORD! We learn that we are complete in Him who is the “head of all principality and Power”. We are stamped with His certification of His Word and Spirit, “for even the angels in heaven behold the face of the Father in these little ones”. This is us. His offspring. We who are protected by his shield. We are in this place called sanctification.
Sanctification is easily understood in the words of Embassy and Ambassador. An embassy is like a little Island, a country within a country. Like when one goes to any Embassy to seek Refuge from the laws of that land. Christ is our refuge. He said “come unto me and i will give you rest”. This is seen in the promise given in the book of Luke “that we being delivered from the hands of our enemies and all that hate us, would be able to serve God all the days of our lives in true righteousness without fear”. Why? Because “He who fears has not been made perfect in love” because “perfect love casts out fear”.
We do not wait for another age for this to be accomplished. We ” work this out with fear and trembling” with Him who said “fear Me”! We believe His word for sanctification today. We are kept from evil in this way.
As with a defector, or a political dissident. The moment they entered the embassy they are immediately subject to the governing laws and powers of another land. They get asylum from that which was charged against them. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ”.This is our Embassy. Here we have amnesty. “He who believes in Me does not come into judgment but has passed from death to life”. They are no longer bound to the former laws and requirements. They have full amnesty and protection from what tormented them. They are free from the laws of the land. This is what we have. This is what divides between those born in Adam and those in Christ.
Paul said “Now that you have known God, or rather having been known by Him, why is it that you return the week and beggarly elements of the earth”? Meaning, now that you have received Gods invisible genetic code written on your circumcised heart, why do you subject yourself to the multiple time dispensed theories of another savior, another Jesus? The saving has happened for the sanctified.
Collisions 2 says “Let no one cheat you through philosophy or according to the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ”. Meaning Gods invisible nature and not the building blocks of creation. That we are a part of something much greater than the substance of time and matter being “flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone” not of Adams flesh and bones but Christ’s invisible substance.The invisible building blocks of the unseen substance we call eternity. The origin and object of our faith “while we look not to the seen but what is unseen, the invisible “for that which is visible is temporary but that which is invisible is eternal”.
So in this way we are now “fellow citezine and members and saints of the house hold of God”. We do not suscribe to a future kingdom and reigning king. We are in asylum and the safety of the kingdom of God which is “at hand” if we hold fast to His words.
This defines for us our sanctification. Christ said “Father I pray not that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from evil”. That we are “in the world but not of the world”. We are not restricted to the things of EMC= square. So we are kept from evil, us who are born of God. As it says in 1st John that “we abide in His Word and the wicked one touches us not”. And those of us who know how to apply this principle “can go boldly to the throne room of Grace” for any purpose anytime we want and have not only a asylum but our citezineship.
This place is not a throne room of Grace in a physical place, the one not built by hands of man but ” built by God Eternal in the heavens”. This is our Embassy. A safe place in any land. This is our sanctification. This is our provision from the father. As Christ prayed “keep them from evil” so he does. If we don’t know this principle we cannot apply it consistently. Or we can know it and walk away from it by not walking in the light of the revelation that the spirit is showing us. We get into trouble and not believe His word. We try to cover ourselves.
“Satan is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour experienced by our Brotherhood in the world” is the believers in the world that have left the embassy and set aside their Ambassadorship, their sanctification, and subject themselves to the things they were delivered from. In their own mind and their own will they violated their own sanctification. They stepped away from the provisions and protection afforded to us by word. And there are many that have not learned correctly to walk in sanctification. They don’t know how to apply faith sanctify themselves from their fallen entanglements and disbelieve the promises.
We are are to “follow those who through faith and patience inherit the promises”. The Lord who “delayed not His coming” comes to us even now by revelation “that where He is we may be also” as Christ prayed. We “walk in the light as He is light” “for in Him is no darkness at all”. And “in Him there is no sin, he who sins has neither seen Him or known Him”, but we know Him. And as Christ told Thomas “he who has seen me has seen the Father. From now on you have seen Him and known Him. If we are “in Christ” as scripture says, we are in this place of sanctification. In this way we know God.
Sometimes the devil can be our own reflection in the mirror of self-condemnation. He is the persona that is the the contrast of God that brings condemnation in contrast of the righteousness afforded by faith and the blood of Christ. Scripture shows us when Jesus Christ rebuke Satan in Peter saying “get behind me” which is where he should be for us. The Roaring Lion in this way becomes a toothless roadkill. There’s no condemnation and in this way the accuser of the Brethren is cast down. By word.
When the disciples returned to Jesus from their mission of delivering the gospel that “the Kingdom of God is at hand” they said for “even demons are subject to us in your name”. To this Christ replied I beheld as Satan fell from heaven like lightning. In this way transformation had taken place in the heavens of their mind. In the twinkling of an eye the accuser of the brother was put under foot as incompetent, lifeless.
We are instructed to put on the shield of Faith which is able to quench all, I repeat, all the fiery darts of the wicked one. This is how we do it. This appropriately places your sinful nature at the cross and not on your self for “by his stripes we are healed”. Only the old man can walk in self-condemnation and inflict upon himself the accusations of another. Why? Because there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not according to the flesh but according to the spirit. And what is the spirit? God’s opinion of you who believe. He is the “come unto me and I will give you rest from your toil”.
There is resident in religion today the idea that Christians need it in receive blame and false humility and make good on things sound reason says we need to make bridges for relationships to be rebuilt we are not to accept the wrong to prolong a bad relationship on him was laid the sin of us all and if we walk in sin and condemnation we reject the gift the Lord said Peace I give you not as the world gives give are you oh the joy and the peace in the blessedness of the justification of God blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute any sin blessed are those whose Lawless Deeds are covered up this is the righteousness of faith in the gift of God in Christ this is not giving us permission to do wrong but empowering us to be right
You see Satan knows that if he can keep you in condemnation and false humility, the continual confessing of sin, that he can keep you at the foot of the cross. He can keep you in your lower nature, and he can keep all false religions alive.
It is said of our great high priest that “once we are purged we should have no more conscience of sins”. That we should no longer have a sinful conscious. This is what it means when 1st John says young men you have overcome the wicked one because the word of God abides in you. This is what it means. And those of the House of Moses who were instructed to look into the pole with the serpent wrapped around it, that this would make them whole thus signifying the Christ of the cross who bore our sins for us to be whole.
If you have committed a crime or a wrongdoing or damage to another person or his Goods you should repair for such as the law of the land but the things we speak are the laws of the mind and of the spirit. The kingdom of God is not in what you eat or what you wear but in righteousness peace and joy of the Holy Spirit. This we have in our sanctification the place behind the vail being shielded with faith to ward off the darts. This is peace with God this is acceptable to God.
Our justification becomes the building blocks for our sanctification this is the purpose of the book of Nehemiah to rebuild the wall around the city and that is why Tobias and Sanballat blamed and accused and ridiculed and took on the voice of the enemy for them to hasten to build the wall.
When the accuser of the Brethren is cast down, addictive patterns stop. You are no longer motivated in this way. Accusation and condemnation is powerless. For all the time, money and visits to the doctor for mental conditions, they can be cured by this one thing.
1 John 5.4 This is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith”.
Our faith in His word contains all the tools we need for victory anytime, anywhere, if we are “in Christ”. This is our Embassy. He is our Embassy. This is our sanctification, our shield, our exceedingly great reward”.
In the beginning was the word, the Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word was an emination of pure thought we call the Father. Like us, our word is the product of our thoughts. God is ingenuity design and creativity and he is not limited to just these things, but these are the eternal expressions from before time and matter that we talk about. The thought expressed himself by word and the Word is His Son, an exact replica, an abstract of the Father. He who has the Son also has the Father for the two are one. “He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son”. 2 John 1.9
This is similar to how we are made in the image of God, our thoughts and our words. For this is how we shall be judged and what we are accountable for saying “you shall be judged by every word you utter”. A man is only as good as his word. The only begotton is Gods perfect Word and the first thing that came forth from thought. Original thought is God the Father, and his son is his word.
His Son is Word and not a man. Gods word is His first extension that did not come to be when He was spoken for He pre-existed with the Father as pure thought. This is the “only begotton of the Father” the only one that came out. It is in this way that “we have the mind of Christ. Pure thoughts of the Godhead, Spirit and truth. “For the Father seeketh such” to interact like Him. This is what pleases God.
The only manifestation from God that is God is word. “No one has seen the Father at anytime, but the Son declares Him”. He makes the Father manifest. Gods manifesto of Himself is His Son. The Son is His declaration of who He is. In this way the word/Son of God made everything. “All things were made by Him and for Him, And without him nothing that is made was made. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. All powers, be they visible or invisible are subject to Him even now. They can only do what they are suppose to do.
God cannot be caught off guard or surprised. He planned for all mans departures. He has made them room for all of their individual alternate realities.
The word of God was in the beginning with God. It was the word of God that existed in the intellect of the father without Him speaking. The Son was not deprived of any aspect of the invisible intellect we call the Father “for in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead body” being a body of principles, intellect, ingenuity and design and not something tangible to the carnal senses. A man He is not. Without Word nothing that was made was made, be it powers and principalities visible and invisible. Everything that is made was made of word for it was word and spirit and the intellect being the father that coexisted equally before any created thing.
In the beginning was the Word, “and the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters”. These three are before the beginning and in this way they are harmoniously co-equal, co-creators. Pre-creation emination and reflections of the Father. Harmonious and inseparable but split for creation only in concept For us to grow and realize the Revelation that they are one.
Christ saying “I and the Father are one”. They always have been. And of the Spirit He had “without measure”. The Son showed Himself to us in this way. He spoke and it was so. He said “Lazarus come forth ” And He Came Back From The dead. He did the works of the Father in this way. He spoke a thing and immediately it was so. Life is in the Son. “He who has the Son has life”. This is eternal life.
And it is not as though the word expresses only a meaning or a description. The Word carries with Him the very escense of the Father. “He comes and His reward is with Him”. All the attributes, personas and charecrtistics of the Father, being invisible attributes, which are impossible to separateExcept in creation where the godhead is broken down in concept for us to understand.
This is why creation was made for us. So that thru contrasts we could understand with clarity who the Father is with tangible things and to take the various concepts we learn about them and re-assemble the invisible witness of Him in ourselves to become godly. God-like. This is the calling to godliness. God-like-ness.
It is that word conveys the very essence of the father and not just documents to be fulfilled 2000 plus years later as many suppose. That saving is subject to time which in fact is not God at all, for there would be something God is restricted by, and God is not restricted. The one who was and is and is to come is equally God in every time and anytime of every age and any age.
This is the gospel of God, “the power unto salvation” unfettered, unhindered and un-stoppable, even by time.”He came to His own and His own did not receive Him. They could have but they didn’t. But to as many as received him to them he gave power to become his children, even to those who believe in his name”. It is by the gospel of Christ that God starts and completes his work in us and in no other way. The author and finisher of our faith” has been written even unto completion of salvation. “God in these last days has spoken by His Son” then He sat down and is now waiting for His work to be accepted by you. Christ responded to John the Baptist “why do you seek another”. So we too must ask ourselves. What are we waiting for because “Today is the day of salvation”.
If a doctor give you a pill or a serum and says here take this and you will be healed, you believe him. But you reject the one who says to have faith in him because there’s no visible physical response you can handle or see so you doubt him. He whom you seek is standing at your door. “That which we’ve seen, heard and handled concerning the word of life. We write this so truly you can have koinania with us, oneness, with the Father and the Son. Gods Son took our infirmities and poorness for us to be rich now. He took our carnal bodies to the cross in order for us to put on a body like his now. One like his which is invisible.
So if we understand God in this way we can understand the word of God in his true composition of who he is. He is invisible thought before being spoken. He is the anatomy of God. He is Gods genetic code broken down into sound bites for our spiritual consumption to become like . We hear, we believe and we speak. Do you see what we are talking about? Then you have eyes to see. A new understanding. This is your new nature. Put this on.
It was the word of God who put on Humanity temporarily saying “the word became flesh and dwelt among us”. And because of this we beheld the glory of the only begotten of the father, an exact replica. The Word was not originally a man. Christ temporarily became that. If we were to mimic the man we would all be wearing robes and sandals with our hands folded together in front of us. But He portrayed all of the Fathers invisible attributes for us to see with the eyes of our understanding. And as we see Him as He is in this way, we ingest Him and become what we eat. This is why He is “the bread of life that comes down from God out of Heaven” the place of pure truth and eternal light not visible to the human eye but made known by revelation through His Word in our hearts. This is the true light the 24 hour days only mimick. We see Him as He is and become more and more like Him. (1 John 3.2) and John 14 He who has seen Me has seen the Father. We see the Son in the Father then we see ourselves there too. We are “in Christ “. This is the elect. We see that we too existed in the mind of the Father being predestined of this sort. We are “a kind of first fruits of His creation” as we put on word, meaning the genetics of God, we are transfigured in this way, one revelation at a time “to a perfected man” (Eph 4)
“The Word became flesh” But his Humanity was short-lived because that is not his natural composition. It was said “a short work I will do on earth, and I will finish it in righteousness”. And He did saying “it is finished”. And if he appears again a man, he is not in his natural composition. And if He appears for another work, then He was not finished. And if we see Him a man, then into what are you being transformed? Into a man? A man He is not for He said “I go to the Father and you see Me again no more” speaking of His humanity. (John 16.10)
God the Father with God the son and God the spirit in their natural compositions are all Eternal Immortal and invisible and inseparable, broken down only in concept by word for us to assimulate. This is how they can say “lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the ages”. Meaning any age in every age. They are in their true and natural composition always unperturbed and unfettered and perfectly insulated. This is the peace of God for those who know. It is for us to awaken there. This our full sanctification. To wake from our Adamic slumber where he was split. We can say like John the Baptist “He who has the Bride is the Bridegroom, therefore my joy is complete”. John’s purpose was accomplished saying “they must increase and I must decrease” (corrected from the Greek)
Even when Christ was in the flesh He was full of the Spirit and said “I and the Father are one” describing His invisibleness and ours too. “The world does not know us because it did not know Him. It did not know Him because they could not see Him.” They looked at the robe, sandals and the lowly colt and missed out on the invisible counterpart and contrast of Him on a white horse with His garments stained in blood whose name is…THE WORD OF GOD!
If we can understand the son pre-existed like this being thought of the father then we too can understand the elect. The elect are those who existed in the mind of the father as a thought. And as receiving word we return to the father in this way saying “My Word shall not return to Me void, but shall accomplish all My desire”. So we awaken. These are the elect. This is how as we look to the word as “be holding in a mirror the image of the Lord we are being transformed in the mind from glory to the Glory into his same full image. It is because of this we are the called. And having put on humanity we awake to the invisible things to God through the gospel. This is how we confirm that we are the elect. To realize we are in the world but not of the world. we are of a different composition. We realize that “when that which is perfect is come that which is in part is done away with it” because we receive the things the father has thought for us to be imaged like His Son. We understand the counterpart of all the law, the feasts and the prophets is the Son. “Lo the volume of the book is written of Me” said the Son.
For those of us who have received God’s spirit and God’s word we lack nothing of the father. “For of His fulness we have received”. So as the Word prayed while he was human, He said “father that they may be with us where I am they may be also”. If we have word and spirit that saying is fulfilled in us.
When we look into the mirror of the word with the reflection of the Holy Spirit, and we see His attributes compared to what we are, we are not satisfied until that reflection shows in us the same thing. The transformation has happened. We shall not be satisfied till we awakened in His likeness. (from the Adamic slumber) We become godly. God-like and that likeness. It’s not that we awaken from a 24 hour sleep. With that we awaken from the sleep on Humanity placed on Adam when he had his ribs removed we are awake and we are pre adamic pre-sleep adamic. And from Isaiah “awake! Put on your beautiful garments! Arise and shake yourself from the dust of the earth.” And so we do. How beautiful are the feet who bring glad tidings”. That’s right. This is the gospel.
It is in this way we are His image. God is not a body like we have as many suppose. And it is in this way we are instructed to put off the flesh. It is to realize that we too are not a physical body but an embodiment of principles and eternal truths. We just temporarily occupy this tent. If we have learned to put on the Word of God, we can say too that we are one with the Father and the Son (John 5) We have received the Word. This is putting on Christ. Paul said in Colossians 3 that we put off the body of the sins of the flesh. The embodiment of the thoughts we adopted from Adam.
So if we look to the word and we put word on, we are new embodiment of principles. Just like a political body. As the Constitution is an embodiment of principles that people stand on but we stand on the word of God and say like Him “everything is put underfoot. So if we understand that God is not a physicality, we can put this on in the way that He is, invisibly by faith. This is our embelical cord to the Almighty.
When Adam sinned he did not put on different body in a physical way. He put on a body of disbeleifs. He disbelieved the Living God. These are the principles he put on not a different physical body. God created the physical body then said “it is good, very good”. it was the mindset that Adam adopted that breads fear and self-sufficiency as evidenced by the fig leaf. And that was his sin that Adam put on was an embodiment of principles of self sufficiency. This is what we need to put off is what was passed on to us by Adam. We need to put on that which was passed on to us by the man Christ. To be “in Christ” is an embodiment of principles and not a different carnality. Our old one gets renewed in purpose. We are no longer in Adam.
To think that we need to put off the carnal body is just a religious belief for God made it “good, very good”. The body can only do what the mind tells it to do. And if the mind is renewed the carnal body does what the new mind formatted by word tells it to do. It works harmoniously the way it was created to do in the beginning. Like we are insructed that we being raised with Him, we should walk in newness of life” so we do. Resurrected. Just like a gun that cannot kill by itself, the old man can be an instrument of murder. This was portrayed with Cain who slew his brother. The body like the gun can do nothing of itself.
To “put off the body of the sins of the flesh” is to be put on a new awareness. It is in this way that we are raised in understanding. “Through the knowledge of Christ ” (2 Peter ) This is our resurrection. We put on a new awareness, a God awareness.
Paul had finally transitioned from the Pharasitic religious mindset of having to put off the body in a physical way to “putting off the sins of the flesh” being the sins of unbelief, fear, doubt and all that embodies. This is the true meaning of the resurrection and not the death of the flesh itself but the death old thought system of doubt and fear that disbelieving God breads. “Also put these off”
Just as the body is dead without the spirit, the body cannot live without the embodiment of principles of a spirit. In this way we have the mind of Christ. That is if we understand that Gods true self is an invisible embodiment. And we so are we if we can adapt. The physical body will follow. As John said “we are righteous even as He is righteous”. And “as He is so are we in the not as he was. The declaration makes it so if you are able to receive it.
In Romans 6 Paul talks of how “we are buried with Christ through baptism so that we too can walk in newness of life “. Yes in newness of life in resurrection power. Just as Paul prayed for us to know “the great power that is in us is the same power that He used to raise Christ from the dead”. We just need to know how to use it. It is His Spirit in us that gives us life now if we can receive it. This is why Paul said “I strive to attain to the resurrection ” who also said of those of the law “strove day and night hoping to attain. So we do. This should be our goal too. If we can see that it is an embodiment of principles and not a new physical body this is attainable. And it is or the word would not have put on flesh to prove it to us. Did He not say “I am the resurrection and the life” while He Co habit ed with humanity?
Just as any nationality or religion contains laws and principals, and that anybody that holds to those partakes of that political or religious body by beleiving them and claiming association with them to be one with them? In the same way we partake of the body of Christ. He is the word of God, and as we learn and are renewed in this way we become the word that transforms.
Another physical Christ is an illusion of the religious mind that distains the physicality that God made and said “it is good very good”. It is the csrnal mind thst is enmity against God in this way.
So when we take communion, we partake of His body and collectively announce newness of life. When we research writings of Christ, it is to put on Christ, to recieve Word, the very body He truly is of being “the Word of God”. We see Him as He is invisible and cloth ourselves in this. This is how we are “in Christ ” in His embodiment of principles. Our current physicality is perfectly capable to do so and we fulfill the verse that says “as He is, so are we in this world.
So like we’ve said. When Adam fell there were no broken bones or skinned knees. There was no lightnings or thunderstorms or cataclysmic events. He fell in spirit. In understanding, in doctrine and principals. This is the restoration the redemption the renewal and the resurrection.
What God provided for Humanity in a repetitious way was to show us eternity. The things that we do over and over in a religious setting are to teach us the things that are done forever in the heavenlies. That is why it says of Moses, the temple and the sacrifices that Christ has appeared now for us not the temple made with hands but the one Eternal in the heavens prepared by the Lord. It wasn’t that the eternal was not available to the Israelites for that is what they “strove for day and night hoping to obtain the resurrection from the dead” spelled out by Paul in the book of Acts.
In the gospel message renewed in the figure of Christ for our “greater salvation” was no different. It is for us to understanding the repetitions in the gospel message renewed in the figure of Christ was to learn of the eternal truths that are invisible, unshakable and unmoveable. The children of Israel were suppose to learn by degree as they put up the temple and took it back down over and over to Learn of the invisible things of God, “while we look not to the things that are seen but the things that are unseen”. That with each new understanding and each new revelation they could exchange a temporary understanding for an eternal reality that is greater than everything in time and matter.
Paul used the term “when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be done away with”. It is this “perfect understanding” that precedes and supersedes the physical. This is what it means when John says “the world does not know us because it did not know Him” referring to Gods invisible attributes that we have put on, that we’ve seen in Christ and learned to emulate. This is our invisibleness, our holiness. His holiness in us.
Paul talking about these repetitions called them “Guardians and tutors to keep us till faith comes” untill we receive the invisible counterpart. The Israelites were called children over 1100 times in scripture because they were playing with imitations. Paul said “when I was a child I spoke like a child and walked like a child but when I became a man I put away childish things. He laid aside the tpys called tge lae and the prophets. And this he did by degree. These things expire in understanding and not a second coming.
It is the work of faith that is our transitioning into this new understanding. It is not that we learn about something and we wait for Jesus to come back again or bring something to us. There is no perfection in that and there’s no transitioning in that or transformation. Your transfiguration is on hold if you’re waiting for a visual because it is the very visuals that we handle that teaches of the eternal. Much like a kid who would play with toys with cars with army men. He assimulates in understanding in order to mature. This is the purpose of the gospel.
So as we are instructed to work out our own salvation by degree to the ability that we are able to receive, having our sights set on participating in the resurrection buy this spiritual work that we do. It is in this way that we do the work and the will of the Father. And if there’s any one thing that you will be accountable for in your sojourn ship here on earth in your Humanity, it will be that for all the degrees and all the good things you do and all the memorials that you leave behind will go through fire and only the Eternal remains for the fire will burn everything of time and matter. What is left ee keep.
So it is our purpose through the things of repetition, to learn of the things that are eternal. This is the gift of eternal life. And it’s not as though like with a child who is done with the toys that he needs to go and destroy the playground because there are other people who are playing with those toys of faith. Just as Paul said “when I was a child I spoke like a child and I walked like a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things. So this putting away takes place in the region of the mind. And the transformation takes place there is an exchange.
It was referred to like somebody moving from one house to another. That if the plates or the utensils was not in perfect condition, they were to leave them, give them away, or throw them away because where they are going, everything is brand new.
And this is the gospel message that “all things are new old things have passed away” and that we are this new creation. So it is our responsibility and duty to participate in this transformation for our greater glory. It is not a carnal reality so for those who need to see something you have to wait a long time. 2000 years and counting.
This is “the light that shines in the heart of every man”. And this light is not like the light of a 24-hour day, for God said in the beginning “let there be light”. But there was a light that pre-existed the spoke. And the Light, this pre-existing light, is that which we testify to. This eternal light that shines everywhere all the time, that is not noticeable to the human eye, who “shines in the heart of every man who cometh into the world”. This is the Word of God, the very essence of God that brings us life. This is the very DNA of God broken down into fragments for our understanding, for our spiritual consumption to become godly, Godlike. We call Him “the Bread of life that comes down and gives life to the world”.
This is the Light Paul encountered that was “7 times brighter than the sun”. Brighter than humanly ascertainable.
This is how God is light and “in him is no Darkness at all” For “the light shines into darkness and the darkness does not comprehend it, but to as many as to receive the light, to them He gave power to become the children of God even those who believe on the name”.
It is “the light that shines in the darkness that has shown in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ”. And this shining is for our transfiguration into His realm “from the Glory to the Glory as by the Spirit” to the spirit.
The “Father of glories” begat us in this way to be “a kind of first fruits of His creation”. His creation of the eternal substance only pictured in the Law and Prophets. Then more fully seen in the incarnate Christ , not being the robe and sandals but the invisible attributes of God seen in action.
This is that light. The light of God and the word of God are the pre creative substance that seeks you. And the Eternal Light, unlike the light we are familiar with. The light we are familiar with is a ray that has a starting and stopping point. But the light we are talking about is an explosion that emits in every direction. This is a light that cannot be deflected for it permeates everything. “The lines (rays) have gone out to the ends of the earth. The light of God is the very essence of God “for in him is no darkness at all”. That is why the light of God is knowledge because the light is another description of the intellect that the Word who became flesh exceplified.
It is this revelation light. “It is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness who has shown in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God I’m the face of Jesus Christ”. This is the eternal light and not the physical sun.
In him was the light of men we Behold Him he was crowned with death our death so that we could be crowned with life his life man was made to be crowned with Glory and Honor
