2nd Coming Knock Knock

Knock knock! Who is there? Hi Dad this is Jesus. Hey those guys you gave me? Well I told them about your mansion with many rooms. Well they asked me if they could come over. I told them I would prepare a place for them, and that I would come back and get them. Well they really have their hopes up, so I was wondering if they could come over? To this the Father said “No! Not in a million years! Jesus then trying to save face with his buddies bargains with His Father saying. Aw come on Dad, that’s a long time. How about just 2000 years, to which the Father says ;Okay!

 
So here you have the birth of two jokes. The knock knock and the second coming.
 
Here is the irony. In the discourse of John chapters 14-17 where the real account of this conversation takes place. There are a couple other things that Jesus said like “Until now you have asked for nothing in My name. Ask anything in My name (as if you were Me) and the Father will do it”.
How are we suppose to believe this promise if Jesus goes to the Father on our behalf saying “Father I desire that those whom You have given Me may be with me where I am. That they may be one, that as You are in Me and I in You, that they may be one in Us, that the world may believe”. And the Father denies that request of the only begotten? How are we suppose to believe that we have anything we ask in His name like He asked us to do, if we have to wait 2000+ years to get it?
Did the Father deny the raising of Lazarus? If my memory serves me correctly I think Jesus did that with a word. Like He does all His works, without a 2000 year time delay.
“For what the Father does the Son does likewise”. He creates with a word. The thing that was not, becomes the thing that is, with a word. This is the substance of faith. Faith is the invisible substance of the reality unseen. And what He speaks through the Son does not come into being of time and matter. No! Not now or at a 2nd coming. This world was finished in 6 days. From day 1 to the last day was spoke in the 6 days. “God finished from all His works, He rested from all His creating, this is the history (start to finish) of the heavens and the earth in the day it was made. And it is where He is, is where we are called to. (Hebrews 4.1)

 
Now then. Jesus said “If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself so that you will be there also”. And “You have heard Me say that I am going away and I am coming back for you. If you loved Me you would rejoice because I said I am going to the Father. And now I have told you so that when it comes to pass you may believe”.  (John 14.3+28-30)
 
If His coming back to receive us to Himself is a 2nd coming like some suppose, it would need no faith “so that when it comes to pass you may believe”? I mean really, if Jesus comes and raptures your body to the clouds leaving your clothes on the ground don’t you think that should be convincing enough? But He says “so that when it happens you may believe”? Because it too is a work of faith like all the gifts and callings of God.  (F.Y.I. flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom? 1 Corinthians 15.50 so your body doesn’t go, it returns to dust) 

You who have begun in the Spirit, are you now completed by a physical event? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. (Galatians 3.3+5.8)
 
Jesus promptly went to the Father and said these words “Father that they may be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory”, thereby fulfilling what He promised to His disciples. It came to be by a word, the tool of His trade. So it is true or He is a liar. And if we don’t believe, it is the same as calling Him a liar because you don’t believe the testimony He gave of His Son. (1st John 5.10)
Jesus being the way to the mansions/abodes /dwellings. Was this for them only? No! For He also said “I do not pray this for these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word”. Us! (John 17.20+)  This is Him coming back for you too, if you are able to receive it. Something many think happens during an end time scenario with a tribulation. But His coming is also a work of faith. And it is from faith to faith, all invisible as He is invisible. This is seeing Him as He is being with Him where He is. Any such physical manifestation is a lie because it is visible and not the truth. The way is the invisible word. The place is the invisible word. The word was with God, the word is God. He is the way the truth the light the path the place. This is “that which was from the beginning which we have heard, which we have seen, which we have handled concerning the Word of life. (John 1.1+)
 
There are those who wait for a second coming. But some of us rejoice and believe and receive now. This is following Him that where He is we may be also. As He said to the Jews “Where I go you cannot follow” Of which He said to the disciples “You shall not follow Me now, but you shall follow me after”. Do we follow or wait like for a second coming? Where are you? Sitting? Waiting? Wondering? When is He coming back? 1000? 2000? 3000? and counting. This is an abyss, and a great darkness of the unknown. But God is light and in Him is no darkness. We walk in the light and know where we come from and where we go. “If it were not true I would’ve told you so” John 14.2) 
Oh if you had faith of a mustard seed this mountain would vanish too. Did not Paul plead for us saying “Be ye reconciled”. Be ye one with? Isn’t it the same thing?

Jesus said “ye shall follow me after” Having endured the cross, the stone being rolled away, says to those at the cave. “Go tell the disciples that I have ascended to my God and your God, to My Father and your Father” as if to egg us on. Can you hear Him? “It is after, follow me!” Can you hear the voice that calls us from heaven? Refuse Him not! (Hebrews 12.25)
To be “in Christ” you must receive the word as though it is fact. This is faith. This is the walk of faith the old testament depicted to those who are called out of Egypt to be In Christ our invisible land and not to be idle in waiting but to obtain the promises as though they are of this creation. “To lay hold of why Jesus laid hold of you.
And you are “the called” which is translated church from ekklisia but means “the called out ones” not a building with a steeple but the gathering of the people. The gathering of us to the truth. And Jesus is the way and the truth, and the truth gets us there. Not a future physical Jesus.
 
For you have come to Mt Zion to the city of the living God, the heavenly (invisible) Jerusalem, to the general assembly and the called out who are the first born…. Heb 12.25  And this is true or Jesus is a liar. And it is true but not because you see it. But because He said so. Like He has been saying from the beginning “My Kingdom is not of this age” of 6 day creation of time and matter. No, not now or ever. It predates the 6 day word and is the word that was with God.
 
So then after Jesus had said that He would come back and receive us to Himself He said “now I have told you so that when it comes to pass you may believe. So have you asked in His name as if you were Him? Ask anything in My name to believe and receive that your joy may be full.

Currency and Keys to the Kingdom

Posted on November 22, 2014 by ADMIN

The currency of our age is money. If you have enough you can go any where and do anything. Money is power for the things of this age.

But the currency of the eternal, invisible realm is word. Gods word. It is His word that grants us access. As different currencies display the icon of that kingdom, be it a king or a queen. It is the power of that one it carries. It is the assorted words that make up the gospel and re-assembled in us that displays the icon of our currency Jesus Christ. But unlike the artwork of an icon on a dead piece of paper or coin that bears an image to acquire things of that culture, our currency being the word of God has more than just a depiction of a man, but the very handiwork of God Himself being His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the Word of God that the words of the gospel display. And this word is living and powerful for our transformation now.

So we who have faith “In Christ” carry about not a dead document called money with a picture of a dead man on it but God in Word form. This is what all those born of His kingdom have. To the one who has faith in Him, in His Word, they have God in Word form and the true impression or reflection and likeness of the Father is Jesus Christ being the Word of God, and the Word was God. (John 1.1) This is the very nature of God.
We partake of the Word of God being the bread of life. Which is food of the Spirit in the Kingdom of God. It is as we accept the testimony of Gods Son, the words in our inward person by faith and washed by the Holy Spirit that it becomes for us not just an iconic figure of a dead man, but the impression of God Himself. We take on not an impression like a tattoo on our outward man but His very nature and character in our invisible inward parts. We are of His kind. For even the angels in heaven behold the face of the Father in these little ones”. (Mt 18.10)
We don’t have to carry dead money in our pocket for our new culture. We have His Word stored up in our heart. These are the keys to the Kingdom of God “In Christ” for us in the here and now. We have the same measure of faith. We believe therefor we speak”. (2 Corinthians 4.13) It is the word we receive by faith that we speak that grants us access. So when we are instructed to follow those who through faith and patience receive the promises…? (Heb 6.12) This is that.

 

The promises are our currency and are not a dead  document or coin. When you inherit the promise, you receive the thing that is said. And it is said of Gods Son “Who shall descend into the deep to bring Him up? Or who shall ascend to the heavens to bring Him down? But what does His Word say? The word is close to you, even in your heart that you may hear it and do it”. And what is it that we will do not by human endeavor but by our work of faith? We believe and speak, but we do not bring Him back. We go up.
We ascend to the very heights of heaven to God Himself. The keys to His Kingdom are His words displayed in His Son being the bread of life broken down for our consumption, received, believed and re-assembling Himself inside of us through the gospel which repeats the Word already spoken, “for God in former times spoke to the fathers by the law and the prophets has in His final saying spoken to us by His Son” (Heb 1+) The Son is His final answer on everything that pertains to eternal life and god-like-ness. God has spoken. Now waiting for His enemies to become His footstool.

It is now your doubts and fears that you lay at the feet of Jesus that are His enemies that kept you from the Kingdom because He paid your price. For it is by the cross that He has already defeated for you the god of the Adamic age and that He overcame sin and death and gave this to you. Jesus Christ dies no more for these, nor does He squabble or fight over them any more ever again. He defeated them publicly, victoriously triumphing over them. (Col 2.14) And He does not repeat Himself or have to come a 2nd time to become victorious as if He wasn’t powerful enough the first time for “God has spoken”.

It is as we know His word and have faith in the things He has said, that have been passed on to us in what we call the gospel, it is these very words given then mixed with faith that grants you the thing you believe.
If God said it…it is. If Jesus said it…it is. The two are one. “What the Father does the Son likewise does”. So when Jesus said “I go to prepare a place for you..He did saying ” that where I am you may be also”…He did. He Also said “I will come again to receive you to myself”. Who also said “Father I want those whom you have given me to be with Me where I am, that they may behold My Glory, that the Glory you have given me I have given them”…. and it is so.  Who also said “I speak not to just these here today but those also who will believe their word, (the gospel) that they too may be one”.  He said it…and it is. Believe it or not. The choice is yours.

He creates everything with His word and His word creates. He does not speak in jest and He does not repeat Himself as though the thing that He said is not true yet. He healed the sick and raised the dead how? With His word. With a word. He does not speak 2000+ year time release capsules. And He does not need to be said again or performed by a second coming Jesus. And it is not as though you need to see it with human eyes for it to be true “for we look to the things that are unseen. The things that are seen are temporary but the things that are unseen are eternal. Like it or not. His words not mine.

This is why Paul could say that we are seated together with Jesus Christ in the heavens. He believed in His heart and spoke to receive the promise being the keys and currency of the Kingdom of God in Christ to whom belongs eternal Glory amen!

Now then you who were baptized into His death, what was it that you saw when you became dead? You were raised by faith to new life having come up out of the water. What was it you saw then when you were resurrected? So why is it that you started by the spirit that you are to be perfected by something you see? And why is it you are waiting to be resurrected at a second coming when you already went through baptism? Did you not believe? Who told you this. This persuasion cometh not from Him who calls you to His eternal Glory through the Gospel. Believe the gospel. That which is from the beginning. Not that which is coming as though it is not yet.

The Son has spoken. The Gospel re-iterates what has been spoken for each generation to experience the gift of God in Christ Jesus, being God the Father. God does not repeat Himself. The scriptures do and we do. This is what becomes alive. This is our living. Our eternal life now. This is the faith once and for all delivered to the saints (jude..)

God said through His Son “let there be light” for the first creation and it was so, spoke by His Son in these last days, His final say so on the matter who made a bridge for us to the new creation saying (John 17)”Father that those whom you have given me may be with me where I am”. And who are those with Him where He is? “To them He gave power to be His children, even to those who believe in His name who are not born of flesh but of Spirit”.

 

This is His inscription and His likeness. It is at that point our soul is stamped with Him. His name is stamped on our forehead by a renewed mind according to His word. It is here that we carry not a dead iconic impression on a dead piece of paper or coin but the living word in our heart is our currency.
This becomes for us more than any currency or money of unrighteous mammon and even more powerful than a passport holding you spell bound and idle waiting for a 2nd coming promise for another Jesus. Oh no no no. There is nothing dead or in limbo or waiting about the word of God but doubts fears and deceptions. It is these things that are  the enemies of God. Why? Because God already gave you the victory over satan sin and death at the cross. You just don’t believe it yet. You don’t have the thing that has been spoken. You have not received the promise.
It is not you that are the enemy for He is the propitiation for the whole world. But it is your wrong thoughts. This is why the gospel says that “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God, pulling down arguments, strongholds and every high thing that exalts itself against this knowledge of God”. If you are still fighting against satan sin and death you don’t understand the gospel or the power of God. You must battle with the word of God, the sword of the spirit in the upper echelons of your mind.

 

If you believe that the words of God are I.O.U.’s to be activated by a second coming Jesus when he comes to defeat satan sin and death, that is a powerless place to be. You must defeat that mindset now by the word of God in the upper echelons/heavens of your mind. These are the things that keep you out of the kingdom now. Not satan or sin but unbelief and deceptions. It is these that must be put under foot for the word of God to be fulfilled in you, not for Him to come back and do that. He did that.
This is what Jesus meant when He said “The Kingdom of God is at hand” even back then. He also said that “the Kingdom cometh not with (carnal) observation”. But this is what every 2nd coming seeker cult does. “Look here or look there”, but Jesus said “do not follow them” (Luke 17 20+). Apply the words God already spoke by His Son and defeat that crap. Put it underfoot. Lay it at the feet of Jesus where all His enemies are like satan sin and death.
Everything that stands between you and God the Father today is an enemy and an anti-christ, but not satan sin or death. This is why Paul pleaded “be ye reconciled (to the Father)n for He made Him who knew no sin to become our sin for us to become His righteousness in Him”. This is our inscription. This is our currency.
Come thou good and faithful (Full of faith) servant. Enter the joy of the Lord.

New Creation Part 7 Eternal Life

Posted on November 9, 2014 by ADMIN

Eternal life is thought of as something to experience when Jesus comes back to renew planet earth and we all live happily ever after. From that time on. Old heaven and earth pass away and all things become new and restored to what God had spoken in the 6 days of creation followed by His Sabbath. The 7 days of creation. This is partially the reason they can’t except the new creation now, but Paul said that we are the new creation, old things have passed away and all things become new”. Is this true? Not if you believe what we just described. I mean you can’t have an old earth and a remodeled earth at the same time. So what then is the new creation and what is eternal life?

 
Eternal life is generally tied to this view of the new creation. That when Jesus comes back He will make all things new. That we will see Him new and we too will become like Him new. That the big clock in the sky will be reset to time zero and that we will commence to live eternal life from that moment forward.
 
That view however humanly logical it may seem has holes in it. It is still associated with time having a beginning and is thereby disqualified as being eternal. It also associates with a renewed composition having physical properties of matter that is subject to breaking down and deteriorating, but Hebrews 12.27+ describes the removal of all the things that are made so that what is eternal may remain. The eternal things already are. They were not made and have no beginning and can have no end. That is what eternal means. Everything that has a beginning has an end. Everything eternal is already there. And Gods gift to us is eternal.
 
Eternal life therefor is not connected to time and matter of any sort. It is associated with that which is before time. God only, and this is what is offered publicly through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hence”enter the kingdom prepared for you from the foundations of the world” Being pre-existent, separate from time and matter. The only thing that precedes all time, matter and creation, be it visible or invisible is God. In the beginning there was God, and only God, nothing else. Only God is eternal. And in God was the Son (unspoken) and the Spirit (un-breathed). We can understand God like ourselves in this way. Thought produces word and spirit/breath. It is the word and spirit that came forth from thought and created. “In the beginning God said… and the Spirit of God brooded” Genesis 1.1+2
 
It is This timeless, eternal, non-elemental pre-existent God that is our gift of eternal life. Everything else has a beginning and is not eternal. He is pre-existing. That is why scripture says of Jesus that “He comes and His reward is with Him to give to each one”. To give what? Himself. This is the true God and eternal life “In Christ”. And if you are “In Christ” you have Him, and you have eternal life now. And this is not associated with anything that has a beginning or an end.
This is why when God rested on the 7th day He rested from His works. Away from things that have a beginning and an end. And this is the place of our calling, to enter His rest saying “therefor there remains a rest to the people of God…Let us fear lest any of you come short of it, for the works were finished from the foundations of the world”. It is this place outside of time matter, being before time and matter to which we are called.
This place of rest is where we are called by Jesus saying to follow Him that where He is we may be also. This is the purpose of the true gospel “For the gospel was preached to us as well as them, but the word they heard did not profit them , not being mixed with faith. (the ability to see the invisible) “for we who have believed have entered that rest”. And where is that rest? Pre-existent with the Father. From where the Word and the Spirit of God came from. The very thought of God. That which is from the beginning where the thought and the Word of God are at rest. The finished work of Jesus Christ, the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Him who is seated in the heavens.
 
Now if you got all that, then you can see why the 2nd coming Jesus gospel is another gospel, “a strong delusion to believe the lie if possible to deceive the elect”. It proclaims another creation of time and matter. Another physical experience. “But God is spirit and seeketh such”. 
 
The gift of eternal life is In the Son, “In Christ”. Those who are “In Christ” are in the non-elemental, timeless God, the gift of eternal life now. The place called God. He rested from creation “in Himself” and Jesus said “All the things the Father has are mine” This is “In Christ”. He who has the Son has the Father, he who has the Father has the Son. They are One.
 
John 17.5 Jesus said “Now Father Glorify Me together with Yourself with the Glory I had with You before the world was”. And if we are “In Christ” as we profess, then we are in this place of rest in Glory. His very thoughts, “for we have the mind of Christ”. We have entered His rest. This is the true God and eternal life. (1st John 5.20)
 
Now I pray you can see and understand that the second coming gospel is a completely different message. It siphons people away from this truth to divert them down a different path into a cul-de-sac of confusion waiting for another Jesus to reset time and start over so they can get on with eternal life. They are idle in the spirit.
 
You cannot believe both of these gospels at the same time. You must choose. Is our gift “In Christ” now where the God-Head exists? Where only God exists? Where we are complete “In Him”? Or is the future not ours to see, que-sera-sera?
 
Eternal life is a gift which has no beginning or end like those who live there. Thought, Spirit and Word (John 5.7). We receive the word, incubated by the Spirit to return to Thought which is the Father for our reconciliation (2 Cor 5.20).
Didn’t the Lord say “My Word shall not return to Me void but shall accomplish all My desire”? This is not the old creation of time and matter that deteriorates but that which never fades or wanes or deteriorates for it never starts it already is and always will be Glorious, exactly the same brand new every day because it is the only day with no night having no darkness for God is light and In Him is no darkness, no variance nor shadow of turning at all, and we walk in the light as He is in the light for He is the Light, the eternal light. This is the “day of the Lord” The eternal day. Christ’s day. It is from the beginning our days are modeled after. His was first. 
 
The 2nd coming gospel offers a different message of a day that is not yet but will be when Jesus comes to planet earth to defeat His enemies and save us, the same things He fought at the cross. Then we will start eternal life. This is a false gospel of that which is not yet.
So is it that which was and is and always will be? Or the satanic version of who is not yet but will be King, Jesus of the future? 
 
He stands at the door and knocks and His reward is with Him. So be careful how you answer. because He is right here right now and need not become anything for He always is. He is God. It is we who are transformed into His likeness. Not the other way around.
 
The Kingdom of God is at hand.

The shared Glory

THE SHARED GLORY

God is God every where all the time. We are not to seek physical events on planet earth as isolated fulfillment’s of Gods will and His word. His words are spirit and they are life (John 6.63) For it is a wicked and adulterous genome that seeks after a (physical) sign (Matthew 16.4) It is wicked and adulterous because it takes the things of God and weds, or mixes it with the things of this world, meaning of this creation. But God is not of the created and He does not create Himself for He already was. He only “put on flesh and dwelt among us (John 1.14)” temporarily to save us from being bound by time and matter, to restore us back to “That which is from the beginning” before God ever said “Let there be…”. For this He has left us the Gospel as we espouse.

GOD FORBIDS IDOLS AND IMAGES

It is the carnal mind that imagines (images) God to be a man to be bound by events and time and a series of happenings as their form of “idol” worship. (Romans 1.23)

It is not  just a coincidence idol and idle are pronounced the same. It is because when someone is given to idol worship, they are idle and stagnant in the faith. There is no Glory in that.
  
Gods creation of time and matter is a testimony to His existence, but He does not become the created for He would then present a false image of Himself, a lie, and God cannot lie nor be one Himself. “God is spirit and God is truth and He seeks such”. This is our calling and His purpose for the gospel. We go to Him through Christ, the word of God that where He is we may be also.
 
The only sign given them was as the prophet Jonah was in the belly of the whale 3 days so too Christ would be in the belly of the earth and that has happened. As 1st John said “Jesus has come in the flesh”. To come that way no more. 2 Corinthians 4.16 we once knew Christ in the flesh but we know Him that way no more”. The incarnation has happened. Any other such expectation is just a carnal illusion sent by God to distract those who reject the truth of the gospel of the true Jesus Christ. (2 Thes 2.11)
 
As Jesus confessed the good confession to Pontus Pilate, (Jn 18.36-37) that His kingdom is not of this age, not of this world, not of the creation of time and matter, or He would send legions of angels to fight for it. Everyone who is of the truth hears this voice. But there is a far greater place of our inheritance that can never fade or wane in glory. To this we are received to through faith in the renewing of the mind. The spirit of our mind. “For god seeketh such”.
 
The same mouth that spoke creation “let there be light” spoke another light of another place. He spoke His son who is the true light of an eternal substance that shines in the heart of every man, The Son is the spoken word, the gospel. The gospel is the word already spoken. The gospel is the DNA of God, being the never fading or waning creation for our metamorphosis, our transfiguration, our transformation in the here and now to the always there ever ready Kingdom of God through the Christ of the cross.
 
You see God has spoken by saying His son. (Hebrews 1.2) He is not still speaking. It is this spoken word that “is alive and powerful”. We ingest it spiritually and it, He lives in us. “For all flesh is as grass but the word of the Lord endures forever, in every generation. This is the gospel of truth, the gospel for the transformation of the soul. As new born babes desire the pure milk of the word that you may grow. 1 Peter 1.2-2.3.
 
A second coming Jesus gospel message of another battle speaking Jesus offers no new solution over saton sin and death that the cross hasn’t already provided. That message is an unnecessary redundancy. Re-read your scriptures and see. Jesus Christ is not coming back again to do what He already did as if His first doing did not work. As if He must come back and repeat Himself. For “God has spoken” and “the word of the Lord endureth forever” and “the word has gone out to the ends of the earth” “God has spoken”. . For then He would have to die often to defeat saton sin and death. But He appeared once at this end of days to put away sin by sacrificing Himself. He now appears a 2nd time apart from sin for salvation to those who are watching. (Heb 9.28)
 
But this too is not a second coming Jesus who does this at an event on planet earth but a gift of the cross made known by revelation through the gospel. It is realized through the word already spoken for “God has spoken” and need not repeat Himself. 1st Peter 1.9 “receiving the end of your faith the salvation of your souls. When? At a second coming planetary event? No, through the gospel that is alive and powerful now at work in those of faith for transformation, “the power of God unto salvation” (Rom 1.17) The gospel is from faith to faith, the whole package in the Word that was spoke, contains all we ever need including the Glory. “God has spoken by His Son”
 
Glory
 
 
Heb 1.+ God has in these last days spoken through His Son, of whom He said “sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool. 1.13. He is not coming to speak or fight another day as if He needs to finish something for He said “it is done” at the cross. 1 Cor 10.4 for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God” as we appropriate the living word of the gospel of truth in our lives, the gospel found on the pages of scripture lives.
He has overcome the world with all the obstacles that detain us from reaching Him. It is this word that has been spoken, that the gospel re-iterates throughout the ages, this word that takes form on the pages of scripture, to be ingested by our spirit to renew our very mind to receive His Glory. To be partakers of His Glory through the gospel already spoken. This is the inheritance of the saints in the light. The glory is not a product of a 2nd coming but the word of God already spoken and proved by the cross.
 
2 Cor 4.6 we see the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ
2 Cor 4.17 His work in us produces His Glory in us
2 Cor 3.18 as we see His Glory, we become that Glory
Eph 1.17 God is the Father of Glory, this is what He begets.
Eph 1.17 we are to know our inheritance, His Glory gifted to us through the gospel already spoken.
Heb 2.10 it was fitting for Jesus to bring many sons to Glory”, Gods Glory
And this Glory is actuated by faith in the renewed mind of the Spirit. It may be put on full display for all who ever lived to see in the manifestation of the sons of God when we are revealed with Him, but the Glory is as much a gift of salvation as being seated with Him in the heavens. It is part and parcel of the gospel message, the word spoken, the power of God unto salvation. The gospel is not a mid point as though we are held back to resume at a second coming. The gift is the full package unto Glory, Who has blessed us with every spiritual gift in Christ Jesus. Eph 1.3. Including the Glory
The word has gone out. And with the words of God who cannot lie and He does not repeat. These words bring His very genetic code, His very D.N.A. it is His word in us, that we are known by God, that we seek not a 2nd coming Jesus who is subjected to the weak and beggarly elements of this creation (Gal 4.9)
It is His work in us now that is our transformation as we adopt these truths from scripture that we are proved His offspring by His Glory “in that we bear much fruit He is Glorified in us and the fruit we bear remains This is for us if we really seek Him who is above and seated, for this Jesus spoke these words not to have to be repeated by His mouth but by the gospel, and brought to you not by a second coming work but the word already spoken and believed at assorted times by various people through out the age in their time of visitation. Is this yours?
It is here Jesus defines His gift as His Glory;
John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
 
And 
 
John 17 20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will (me and you) believe in Me through their word (reiterated);21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

This is the gospel message that all believers are called to partake of in the here and now. Any other objective of the gospel but for your spiritual maturity and aspiring your full potential of experiencing the Glory of God in the here and now being in complete union with the Father and His son, is a distraction. Any message or gospel that stops short or detains you from the shared Glory of God and puts this off for a second coming is anti-Christ for it is against the purpose of the death of Christ to raise and ascend to the Father to show us the way. He is the way the truth and life now. This is the true gospel. Jesus came in the flesh not to do so again. So is He the coming one? Or do we seek another?

New creation part 6 All Things

Posted on November 6, 2014 by ADMIN

1 Corinthians 1.30 Christ has become for us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption. 

 
Many see these things as separate, to be acquired individually. But they are part and parcel of the greater picture of the gift of God for us “in Christ” Jesus. He has become for us ascended seated in full glory too for all things have their fulfillment “In Him”. The gift of God is one. It is however described as many different things but it is one. God is Echad (Deu 6.4). You cannot divide the gift of God into portions. You have it or you don’t. And if you have the gift of God in Christ Jesus, you have him in His entirety, and you do.
 
You cannot be saved to later become righteous or vise versa. You cannot be redeemed and not be risen. You cannot be seated in the heavens and not be Glorified “for “In Him” dwells the fullness of the God-head body, and you are complete “in Him” who the head of all principalities and powers”. Everything He has is yours, if you are His.
 
Eph 4.4+ there is one body (Christ) one spirit, one faith, and one baptism. When we are baptized, we are baptized “into Christ”. Into His death and resurrection and seated in Glory. He is seated in Glory and we are “in Him”. This is the body of Christ. And we are to grow up “into Him” who is the Head. This is putting on Christ. We do not wait for our own carnal experience for that cannot be. Flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom, but faith does. Your invisible response to the gospel to believe is rewarded this.
 
The reason the gospel uses the assorted terms is for our understanding. That through understanding we may grow up “into Him” who is the head. To understand the same thing from different perspectives. Love is patient, love is kind. Take away patience or kindness and it is not love but God is all these. Love is an attribute of God. Patience and kindness are characteristics of love. They are all the same thing. They are part and parcel. So too with the gift of eternal life. It is not sub dividable or it is not eternal life. It would need to be completed and be disqualified from being eternal for it has not yet become complete. But He is the same yesterday today and forever. 
 
So too with the gift of God. It is complete in perfection and holiness, seated in Glory with the Father. We see Jesus there, we learn to see ourselves there. Not because we are righteous but because He is. Not because we are holy but He is. Not because our body is resurrected but His is and we are “In Him’ this is true. If we are any of these several things on our own it diminishes the gift and Gods glory. His gift is complete so we are complete.
All of our righteousness is as filthy rags but the Glorious aspect is all our shame has trade in value. And this we left at the cross. We lay down ourselves and get Him. This is rags to riches. “He has become for us wisdom for we have the mind of Christ. He becomes righteousness because He gave us His. And it is the Father who sees Him in us that He is pleased with. We are complete “In Him”. We see Him there, we see Him as He is, and we become like Him. 
 
Well until you look in the mirror in the bathroom. But this is not where you put Christ on at. It is as we see Him in His word by the light of the Holy Spirit that we see Him and put Him on. Yes all His several attributes are ours. The package is un-dividable. We see His death, we accept His death and are baptised. We continue and see His resurrection, His ascension, Him being seated in Glory. He has become for us sanctification, holiness and love. He has become all things for us. He has gifted Himself to us in His entirety. He is only chopped up into words for our understanding, for Him to be reassembled in us as our mind is renewed. This is our transformation. This is the old things have passed away and ALL THINGS become new. Our old has trade in value. 
 
The “all things” that are new are really just one thing seen from many different views and angles for descriptive purposes only but they are totally one and un-dividable. “For all the promises of God are yes and amen in Him who is the head of the body. One baptism, one spirit, one body. The body of Christ that supersedes us.
They need to be received by faith in your understanding. They are not gifts of a second coming. “All things are now ready” (Mt 22.34) And “all things are new” and “ye are complete In Him”. If this were not true Paul could not have said “Old things have passed away, all things become new”. It is the ALL THINGS that define the One
He who spared not His only Son but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also freely give us ALL THINGS? Romans 8.32

New Creation part 5 Heavenly Jerusalem

Posted on November 1, 2014 by ADMIN

The carnal man interprets Gods words into time and events to come into being for the carnal senses. Something that is not yet but will be. They call this prophesy. But prophesy is just the speaking forth what already is and always will be that is to be revealed, or unveiled. We are instructed by scripture to look to the invisible. Not the future. 2 Corinthians 4.18

 
It is like a pioneer who travels lands for new discoveries. There are many who have traveled to name new lands mountains and species for each new discovery they find. But what they discover did not just come into being the moment they found it. Other peoples had names for these things according to their culture. But a new people forage through the land and come across something they have not seen before and call it new. It was only new for them. It became new because they just found it, but it had already been there.
 
This is the way it works with what we call the new creation in scripture. It is what was there from the beginning (1 John 1.1+). So it is not new in the sense of just now come into existence for God is not that. It is that you just discovered it.
 
Even like today some talk of having a new house or a new car, but somebody had it before them. This is the way it is with things of God. We don’t wait to possess them later but to discover. We don’t wait to be with Him later as though He is not yet for He said He would never leave us. He is like a vast land with innumerable treasures for you to discover about Him for the first time as you sojourn with Him in the here and now. This too is the Kingdom of God.
 
Think about with Columbus giving his first account of the new land. It was old for the Indians. Or some of the early travelers coming back with news about a new culture and a new tribe or city they discovered. It was only new for them because they had just experienced it for the first time.
 
This is the way it is with the “New Jerusalem come down out of Heaven from God” (Revelation 21.10). It is not new in the sense of it just being made or Jesus would not have said to the Samaritan lady at the well “the time that is coming now is when you will no longer worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem (on Earth), for the Father is spirit and seeks such to worship Him in spirit and truth”. The city that comes down out of heaven is spirit and truth.
 
And this is the new city in the new land, the promise land “In Christ” where the promises have their fulfillment. Which is the reason why in all the new testament there are no references to the land as though it is future for in Christ is the fulfillment of all things. Not Jesus the man but His invisible eternal self. Not in time and matter but spirit and truth. All things are In Christ and all the promises of God are yes and amen In Him. 2 Corinthians 1.20. They are actuated In Him.
 
So if you are looking forward to an event in the future to see the Kingdom of God having the New Jerusalem with buildings and a temple with the Holy of Holy’s on earth you are seeking something that will not be, and missing out on what already is because it is not of this age of this creation “For Christ entered not the Holy place made with hands, but into heaven itself now” And as long as this place on earth to come into being exists in your mind you are closed off to the heavenly one (Hebrews 9.8) to a greater more perfect temple not made with hands, that is not of this creation (Hebrews 9.1+24) The one at hand.
This is why the final unveiling in the Book of the “Revelation of Jesus Christ” is “Heavenly Jerusalem come down from God”. Maybe the book should have been called “The Revelation of Heavenly Jerusalem”. But then you would not understand that she too is “In Christ”. She is spirit and truth and not of time and matter at all.
However amazing it is that she is listed as the last revelation may be, Paul the apostle knew Her, Heavenly Jerusalem as our origin saying; the Jerusalem above is the Mother of us all”. (Galatians 4.26)
So did John know her as the beginning or the end? Was his testimony of something yet future? Then why would he write this? 1st John 1.1 That which was from the beginning which we have heard which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon which our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life” And 2.7 I write no new commandment but the old one from the beginning”. Not a new reality as though it is not. It is just new to you at the beginning, at your beginning. And 2.24 Let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father”.
So He doesn’t point to a future event for our focus but that which already is. This is our discovery.
First John goes on to say 2.26 these things I have written to you about those trying to deceive you”. Yes they teach of another Jesus. A future one, like a second coming one and a second coming city, not that which is from the beginning. 
 
2 Corinthians 5.17 If anyone is In Christ they are a new creation. Old things pass away all things become new. And all (New) things are of God”. Yes in spirit immovable unshakable pre-existent truth. Hebrews 12.27 “Yet once more” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as the things that are made (time and matter) so that the things which cannot be shaken may remain”. (the eternal). And this too is not a singular event in time but a process that happens to each one of us.
 
So each one of us in this journey for new discoveries should seek this city from God. (Colossians 3.1) Not as a construct of time and matter but “The Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 25.34)
 
The Kingdom of God is at hand.

I beheld satan falling from heaven. Re-script your thinking.

Posted on October 27, 2014 by ADMIN

Hebrews 10.19 Therefor brethren having boldness to enter the Holy of Holy by the blood of Jesus by a new and living way which  He consecrated for us through the veil of His flesh”.  That  is the flesh of the Christ of the cross who grants us assess.

As we understand Gods word and it becomes us, it is His word and the Holy Spirit that takes us into the very place of God. Faith plus word plus the Holy Spirit in us lifts us up to his very presence.
 
But it is the un- regenerated mind, the disobedient and unlearned in the faith that cannot do this. Because one can see physically the work of satan in this world, they conclude that victory over satan, sin and death is at a second coming experience.
 
But it is the regenerated mind by the spirit in the region of faith that has gotten the victory. Others see satan and sin rampant in the world and think “Oh God come back and save us”. And yes it is tragic the things that take place, but it is those people who have been taken captive to do satans bidding, the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience. Like it says in 1st Peter of the roaring lion seeking whom he may devour which is experienced by the brotherhood “in the world”. But we are “In Christ” and not the world. There are those who know Christ but glorify Him not fully. They glorify the god of this age through fear. But we fear One. We Glorify One. Satan is just a rod in the hand of God like the serpent was to Moses. He is really just a toothless road kill to the one in faith “In Christ”.
 
So here is the operative. Are you “In Christ” by the working of faith, the word and the holy Spirit? Or are you “in the world” subject to satan because of ignorance of the power of God and His word? This then is your decision and your confession of faith, or faithlessness.
 
It is not an event in time that we are waiting for to gain the victory. It is as we appropriate Gods word to our understanding that our mind is re-scripted to the mind of Christ. It is the renewed mind that occupies the heavens. Like the verse in 2 Peter; by these exceedingly precious promises we are partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world. And 1st John 3.8 for this reason the son of God was manifest to destroy the works of the devil. This being a product of the Christ of the cross and not left for a second coming Jesus. And again Hebrews 2.14 e came in the flesh to destroy him who had power over death, that is the devil. Here again it is the Christ of the cross who gave us power and victory to the one who has faith.
 
It was when Jesus saw the disciples express this faith that he said to them “I beheld as satan fell from heaven”. But it is those who are held captive by the second coming savior message who cannot experience the victory Christ already delivered us to.
 
The concept of Dispensations which is the art of binding Gods word to time to be physically experienced by the flesh is the lie that keeps you out of the Kingdom of Heaven now. And there are many of the brotherhood in this day who know not this place of faith “In Christ”.
 
To see satan fall from heaven is not a physical event to happen in an end time scenario as they theorize, but like all revelation, it is experienced by the one who has faith. Each one in their own order. It is not of a place in time like taught in dispensationalism but actualized by faith. This is our transformation in the here and now. This is Jacobs ladder. 
 
I personally refuse to use the name of any other god on my lips to glorify another god as though power is relegated to greater and lesser gods and the true God has not the victory or full power till a second coming. Even as Jesus said in Mt 28.18 All power has been given to me in heaven and earth. For my relationship is with the Father through Jesus Christ, and there are no enemies where He is and we are “In Him” and this is true for one that has faith in the Christ of the cross, not of the second coming future victory. 
This is one of our rewards actualized  from faith to faith, not by days seasons months or years laid out on a calendar for dispensation.
 
It is the false prophets of our day that glorify that beast. And as long as you believe in a second coming Jesus to defeat satan and to deliver you from this world, you deny the work of the cross and have been taken captive by satan to do his bidding. (2 Tim 2.26) You are believing a lie and giving power to a beast. Give God the Glory!
 
2 Cor 4 even if our gospel is veiled it is veiled to those who are perishing whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe lest of the the gospel of the Glory of God seen in the face of Jesus Christ should shine upon them. These false prophets are presenting another Jesus of another day, But scripture says “Today is the day, I have heard and I have helped” says the Lord.
 
If you are getting this, and you are re-scripting your mind by this truth, then train your mind and your mouth to stop giving glory to the god of this age, then it can be said of you too; I beheld as satan fell from heaven”. Which is the stratus of your mind, for the kingdom of God is within you. This is the “Kingdom of God at hand”.
 
Or continue being duped by the God of this age and spreading lies about a second coming Jesus to defeat satan and save you in the future. That is the gospel of a beast of the false prophets of our day that deny the true Jesus of the cross. Cast their gospel into the sea of forgetfulness. It is the true God who is Glorified in the victory of the cross that we share in Him by faith, not a second Jesus to do that. Think about it.
Jesus was made a lowly man for the suffering of death then crowned with Glory and honor so that He by the grace of God would taste death for us. It was fitting for Him to bring many sons to Glory. Hebrews 2.9+10. I don’t see a second coming reference as having anything to do with this but the cross..
2 timothy 1.9+10 It is Him who has saved us with a holy calling which was given to us in Jesus Christ before time began, but has now been revealed to us by the (1st) appearing of our savior Jesus Christ who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. (not a 2nd coming)
We can go on and on and we will do so in future posts as we have in past posts, but fortify your thinking with these things;  and the God of peace will crush satan under your feet immediately. Romans 16.20
Peace

Gods Glory seen in Christ

Posted on October 26, 2014 by ADMIN

 The Glory of God is a collection of all His invisible attributes. In the time of Moses it wasn’t until the tabernacle with all its furniture and utensils were set up. Then the priests and the sacrifices were ready and the proper times came and all was collected and assembled, that the Glory of the Lord rested upon that image whose glory was passing. That image expired in the person of Jesus Christ whose Glory excels. If you take away one concept or characteristic or attribute that belong to God the Father, the image would not be complete then therefore could not reflect His Glory. God just is. And He is always un-changeable. Of whom there is no variation nor shadow of turning. (Jas 1.17).

 
This is why it says in Rom 3.23  that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. It is that none does what he is made to do. Adam and Eve acquiesced to Satan and lost their purity, became tainted and marred in their mind and understanding which then distorted all of creation. They believed in another and lost the glory given to them. Then being defeated they were under the power of another. They dis-believed and became disconnected to the Head. The lie that “they may become as gods” is a lie because they already were. And this is where we get duped and confused. We as believers forget that we too are given everything that is “In Christ”. We are partakers of Christ our risen and seated Lord. You see Adam and eve misunderstood what they already possessed and fell for the lie that they could become like God without God. They sought a manifestation of god-like-ness from another.

You see in the beginning man was made in Gods image. Man was made to reflect the glory of God to perfection. Even now scripture says that the body is not for adultery but for the Spirit of God. Man was suppose to display the assorted characteristics of the heavenly Father completely. But all have fallen short of that God given roll. Well, until Jesus. He is the express image, exact likeness, the Fathers fullness the one who said “He who has seen me has seen the Father”. Which is another reason why He is not a becoming one like at a second coming, but He who was from the beginning because He never changes. Jesus Christs words and behavior are exactly like the Father, even before the resurrection and ascension. God the Father would not have responded any differently in any situation. The son did a perfect job.
Christs enemies are put under His foot as displayed at the cross. This is why it is said of Jesus that He is far above all powers and principalities”. He is so much higher than any battle or skirmish of any sort. There is no Glory for a Jesus who must live to fight another day. The enemies are a product of the mind of man and manifest in this creation that tainted it and are responsible for the atrocities even up to our day. The principalities must be defeated by a man. That is why Deity said when looking upon the demise of man; whom shall I send and who shall go for us? And the Son said; here am I send me (Isaiah 6.8). And he came as a man to show us that the victory can be done in us by the renewal of the mind. This is called Galgatha. 
 
And Jesus said “Follow Me that where I am you may be also”. That is the whole objective of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is of Him that we are instructed to “put Him on”. Become like that one. Some erroneously ascribe being like Christ as a one time physical event at a second coming but the invisible never becomes physical and it is His invisible attributes that we are to put on now. However it can manifest through the physical and this is our calling. If we do not see Him in true victory and glorified, by which glory are we being transformed into? (2 Cor 3.18) It is this carnal perception that needs a second coming as a visible display in order to believe, they believe in a new physicality. But God is spirit and He seeks such as are spirit, the time is now to worship Him in spirit and truth. (John 4.24) 
 
God in His creation of time and matter established contrasts first; let there be light! How can one understand light without dark? But God is light and in Him is no darkness. God is love for he who loves God, loves his brother also. It is as we understand Him as directed by the Holy Spirit of whom it is said by Jesus; when the helper comes who the Father sends in My name, this one will take what is mine and declare it to you. This is the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives of our pilgrimage. To break down the Invisible attributes of God into bite size pieces in order for us to understand Him in greater parts. And like Mary who remained at the feet of Jesus. She chose that part which is needful, which will not be taken away. You see she got to keep the attributes she understood.
Like Jesus said to the disciples; I have many things to say to you however you are not able to bear them. And we can’t understand it all at once, but we hear and we believe we keep. We retained greater and greater portions in our transformation of what we already are “In Christ”. And we may grow in understanding but do not confuse that as not having God-likeness gifted us yet like Satan convinced Adam and Eve. You see the gift
 
Have you too been duped by another gospel like Adam and Eve that godliness has been withheld? Like maybe for a Rapture or a second coming for our transformation? If so you error in not knowing the scriptures and the power of God. What He has given to us is “the exeeding greatness of His power to us who believe that He displayed in Christ Jesus when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him far above all powers and principalities in this age and the coming one and seated Him in heavenly places. (Eph 1.19-21)  It is right there in His word. Can you believe this? The gift relegated at the cross by faith and not a product of a second coming?  
 
Who is the real Jesus? You know cults use that spelling too? Jesus. There is no power in the spelling of that name. It must be connected to the Glory of God. It is the victorious glorified Jesus who is exalted, possessing the victory to not have to fight another day, who reigns in full power now, not the second coming Jesus. If your Jesus is connected to the Glory, then this saying may be fulfilled for you to “ask anything in my name and I will do it for you, that the Father may be Glorified”. And “The Father is Glorified in that you bear much fruit”.  That you grow and excel in things pertaining the Kingdom of God. It was said of the disciples throughout the new testament that they remembered these things after Jesus was glorified. The scriptures came alive for them after they received the Glory. And you?

Gods Glory written on our foreheads

Posted on October 25, 2014 by ADMIN

The Glory of God should be our focal point and our objective. Not of personal bragging rights by anything we have done or can do, or any accomplishments we have for there is no lasting glory except Gods Glory He displayed “In Jesus Christ”.

 
Jesus Christ did not come to earth as though He had to earn this glory, or to obtain the victory to be glorified because He said “
the god of this age comes and he has nothing in Me” In Christ”. Jesus Christ put on humanity to show to us that the Kingdom of God can reside in us who have a circumcised heart and a renewed mind in the spirit. For greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world”. 
 
Our objective is to obtain His glory.  It is to us who are to “by patient continuous seeking his glory honor and immortality” in the here and now. To partake of His glory and victory. Not having our own righteousness, not having our own glory but that which is by faith in Jesus Christ. These terms are part and parcel of the gift of God . Faith is the invisible work that we must do. We exersize our belief and trust in Him. We associate with Him in His death, resurrection and ascension being seated in victory. Not our own. For the one who is in us who is greater in us, is the one who is in complete in victory, glory and honor not having to return to the battle field to fight another day as though the cross was not sufficient.
The war becomes for us the battlefield of our mind. Our own Galgatha. The overcoming and conquering is as we grow in understanding Him as He truly is and believing His word and this becomes our reality. For nothing has overtaken us that is not common to man but with it God has given a way out. This way out is His glory. There is no battle between God and Satan for he was defeated as displayed at the cross for it is Jesus who said in Rev 1.18″I am He who lives and was dead, but I am alive eternally, and I have the keys to death and Hades”. And 1 John 3.8 “the Son of man was manifest to destroy the works of the devil” and Heb 2.14 He partook of humanity to destroy him who had power over death, the Devil. There is more but you get the point.
This is “the hidden mystery of God ordained for our glory. To freely know the things that have been given to us by the Christ of the cross, not of a second coming. For had the rulers of this world known they would not have slain the Lord of Glory”. To them the very act of crucifying Christ looked like their victory, but it was ours. It is because of the cross that He shares His victory with us. This is not relegated to a second coming  but now by faith. They saw death, we see life. They saw a pauper ride into Jerusalem on a donkey to later be crowned with a curse of thorns. We see a white horse whose rider wears garments dipped in His own blood for us. Who is crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The name He had before His humanity. Lord and supreme over everything. He is not a coming one, or a becoming one. For the word was spoken at the begininng. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. It is as we recieve Christ as He truly is we too share in His Glory. We are victorious. The same victory the rulers of this age sought to steel remained on Christ for our glory. It is as we behold that glory we see Him as invincible but not because He gained it but because He never lost it. The eternal One cannot loose it or gain it or He is not eternal. He can only continuelly display who He already was and always will be.
This is the eternal Glory and the Father does not give this to the son at a second coming as some suppose. Nor does He give it to the Son at the cross as though He earned it. God the Father had already said “this is My only begotten Son in Whom I am well pleased” at the baptism of Jesus before His crucifixion. And the Father was well pleased because Jesus was already the express image of the Father.
 
Herein lies the mystery of the “Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ”. The Glory was amplified and magnified at the cross because the victory and the glory failed not! This becomes for us our focal point and our entrance into the Kingdom. Not, I repeat not a second coming. That is the impostor with a different glory from a different battle of a different Jesus who must fight to win and prevail over a future event as though the cross failed in accomplishing reconciliation at-one-ment, justification, sanctification, redemption and access to the kingdom of God. Didn’t He say that He gave us the keys to the Kingdom?
 
Can you just take a moment here and Give God the Glory due His name. Can you hear this? Can you receive this? Can you see this? This is the voice of Him who calls us to heaven. To His eternal Glory through Jesus Christ whose signature is the cross. Whose insignia is written on your forehead?To whom do you belong?
 
The Kingdom of God is at hand!

The Champion in Glory

Having bore the heat of the day I retire in peaceful repose in the garden anticipating the voice of the Lord like Adam had done before He was removed. Having been like Adam after his departure, stained by the sin of unbelief, for he disbelieved the Lord and followed another.

But it is through Christ that we have been redeemed and restored to what Adam lost. It is not the Adamic or natural man that has access to the tree of life because there is a flaming sword spinning every way to guard the tree of life to keep the natural man from eating it, that is those in the likeness of Adam and Eve. If they weren’t denied that tree, they could’ve eaten from it and lived dead to God forever. 

Having put off the Adamic nature and forfeited your association with the old nature that by faith being publicly displaying by baptism, we put on the new man who is created in true holiness and righteousness in the likeness of Jesus Christ. And it is this new nature that we are beyond sin and shame and have been restored to the Father. And it is the Christ of the cross who saved and redeemed for this purpose even as Paul pleaded for us to; be reconciled to the Father, for He made Him who knew no sin to become sin for us to be the righteousness of God in Him. And this was accomplished at the cross. And because of this you are no longer seen by God the Father (in the old) Adamic nature but (In Christ). If this is so for you, then you can eat of the tree of life. But not just any Jesus can do this for you.
 
2 Corinthians 3.18. For we have this treasure in earthen vessels. What treasure? The light of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, from verse 6. And it is only a glorified Christ that correctly portrays the Father. The future reign of a 2nd coming Jesus to wage war and save people from planet earth still has battles and enemies and cannot correctly portray the Father because He has yet to be victorious over His future enemies. But it is at the cross that He totally annihilates Satan sin and death. And He died once to put away sins. It further states the He defeated him who had power over death (Hebrews 2.14). Then He led free the captors and gave gifts to men (Eph 4.8) So you see He does not do this at a second coming as though He needs to do this again. That is blasphemous and spits in the face of the Christ of the cross who already did this.
Think of it like this. With any sport there is a champion. Through the various matches, games and playoffs they battle it out to see who gets the trophy or the title or the crown. It is after the last game has been played and the title is given that there is a victor, that there is a champion. They can now hoot and holler and pop the champagne and stand at the pinnacle and wave the trophy. This is their moment in glory.There is no victory or crown or glory as long as there is a game or a battle left to be won. 
This is what it means that Christ is glorified. That He is victorious. That “it is finished”. He said “I have overcome the world” This is “the image of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ the victor that now transforms all who believe in the glory to the glory which is the place of our calling and our reward through the gospel of the cross not a 2nd coming that cannot transform you now but later after that battle. To not see the glory of God in the face of a victorious Christ is to see another Jesus. A weak one, who is maybe taking a break to fight another day? This jesus has no trophy and with that view of the cross is a shameful act that couldn’t seal the deal. The Father would hang His head but instead He said “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased”.
 
It is the god of this age that eschews mars and mimics a heavenly Victor by portraying a different one one in the age of time and matter by presenting a gospel of a future Jesus to save through assorted raptures and resurrections with fightings and battles to be victorious. And this appeases the carnal thinking. These people are taken captive to these assorted theories being unaware and unlearned in the invisible heavenly realities accomplished “In Christ:.
 
2 Corinthians 4.3-4 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe (in the glory), lest the light of the gospel of the Glory of Jesus Christ (the victor) should shine upon them”. And they are perishing because they are idle waiting for another jesus to transform them at a 2nd coming and not now through the gospel “from glory to glory”. The are blinded from the truth of the cross by another Jesus. But scripture says;
 
Luke 24.26 “Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things to enter His Glory?” And He did.
 
John 5.43 And the Jesus of the cross said “I have come in My Fathers Name and you do not receive me. If another comes in His name you will receive him.” And it is this other coming one who comes in the name of the Father the 2nd coming seekers receive. This is the false jesus and the anti- christ if possible to deceive the elect.
The Fathers name in Hebrew is Yasha and means savior Strongs # 3467 is translated in the Greek/English Hossana. Hossana, save now, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. And He did. He came on the foal of a colt having salvation. The donkey is not coming back.
Now back to the tree of life. The scripture says Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” And Christ did. He  becomes the fruit of the tree of life having bore our sin and death for us to have life the moment we believe. And we continue to eat this fruit not for man, but for the new that are in the likeness of Jesus Christ. This is your new sustenance and your transformation
The Kingdom of God is at hand!

Godliness means God-like-ness

Posted on October 8, 2014 by ADMIN

Godliness means god-like-ness. The scriptures instructs us for godliness. This is putting Christ on. It is by our relationship with Him now that as we see Him and learn from Him it is like Him we become. It is from the power and the work of the cross in our lives that changes us and we become more godlike. 

 
2 Timothy 3. says that “in the last days perilous times will come.” and that the people of the last times would “have a form of god-like-ness but deny the power of it. from such turn away”. These are those who suppose god-like-ness to be something they get when they see Jesus at a 2nd coming, but it is “He who is immortal, invisible, only wise God” who displays Himself to us now in His true nature, broken down in His various invisible attributes for our understanding and for our consumption. This is our bread of life that what we eat (spiritually) we become that comes down from heaven. We see him now by this and put Him on by faith and become more and more like Him. This is our transformation in the here and now. This is what the gospel is all about. This is the purpose of our sojourning here.
  
2 Peter says that “His divine nature has given us everything that pertains to life and god-like-ness through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue” now. That “through these promises we are partakers of the divine glory having escaped the corruption that is in the world”. This he writes of our current reality for those “in Christ”.
 
But it is the predominant gospel of the 21st century that teaches of a new creation in the future at the return of Jesus Christ for a transformation for us to be god-like. That message denies true god-like-ness which is now a fruit of the finished product of the work of Christ and the cross now in or lives. They succumb to the senses of their humanity and think, surely this is not now but to be seen later, but even Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5 that “that if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation. Old things have passed away, all things become new”. This is the gospel. The truth. The good news.
 
The gospel of another day for god-like-ness denies the power of the Christ of the cross and supposes another day of a future resurrection as the power of God of a 2nd  coming. This is another gospel and another Jesus and unfortunately the popular Jesus of our day, having a form of -like-ness but denying the power thereof”. But “Today is the day”. 
 
This is where we are in our time spoken by Paul in 1 Timothy 3.13 “Evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse deceiving and being deceived”. And they have and they are. Godliness is a cliche, a pious act, a collection of religious duties. An exchange of truth for a lie. It is our carnal man that just loves the idea of a carnal Jesus to come to earth and save us then rule mankind as a man, and this will simply not do. You will have this man the son of  perdition sitting in a place called the temple of god proclaiming to be god. But you are the temple of God if His spirit dwells in you. Who is sitting on your throne? The Jesus of a second coming? Or the Christ of the cross?
 
Do you believe the Christ of the cross has the power to save you and transform you now? Or are you waiting for the Jesus of another day at a future coming has to come save you? Do we put on Christ now? Or at a 2nd coming? Is your Jesus now in His original state  being immortal and invisible? Or is your Jesus to be seen as a man to rule planet earth at some point in time?
 
Putting on Christ has never meant to be a physical thing. If it did then when Jesus said “He who has seen me has seen the Father” Then we would be able to fix our hair up like His and wear a robe and sandals, but it was Him who said “Tear this temple down and I will rebuild it in 3 days. They thought He meant the physical temple. Do you? He came in the flesh to reveal the invisible and will not become something of time and matter for He is the same yesterday, today and forever. The creator does not become the created. 
 
This is the condemnation of those Paul wrote of in Romans 1.23 That they traded the truth for a lie “and changed the Glory of the incorruptible God into the image of a corruptible man. That is the portrayal of the 2nd coming Jesus man to save you later denies Him who now saves, but; “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord”. And He did, He came.  And He is still saving and transforming today.
 
It is now that we become more and more god-like. This is true godliness and the continual work of Christ in our lives. The second coming doctrines, and they are many, are just illusions and distortions to keep you distracted. So yes, as Christ first stated “the kingdom of God is at hand.” And it still is. Why wait for another?

1st or 2nd coming Jesus?

Posted on October 8, 2014 by ADMIN

Jesus Christ is no longer wrestling with sin or fighting against Satan. He is not strategizing or dispatching heavenly angels in a battle. He is seated waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool.

The cross was so absolutely crushing and defeating to all His enemies, foes and obstacles that He is now seated with the Father. It is He who blazed for us a path into the presence of the Father His enemies now are not Satan, sin or principalities for they were obliterated at the cross. (Hebrews 2.14) The only obstacle now is unbelief. People do not believe the gospel.

Christ said at the cross “it is finished” and it is. He saved, secured, and redeemed us. He delivered us from this wicked world and translated us into the Kingdom of His Son and has fully reconciled us to Himself through faith in Christ. And it is finished at the cross not left for a 2nd coming Jesus to do this. He is not coming back to wage a battle. He is already victorious or He could not be seated in all power and Glory.

There are 2 distinctly different Christ’s. The one who saves through the cross or the one who saves at a 2nd coming. One of these Christ’s is an impostor. If Jesus has yet an enemy to be defeated He is not victor and not glorified or seated.

The enemies of Christ now are doubts fears and unbelief of the carnal mind which is why the holy spirit was sent to; 
 
John 16.8-10 “convict those in the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. Of sin because they do not believe in Me. Of righteousness because I go to the Father and you see Me no more. Of judgment because the ruler of this world is (already) judged. 
 
You become transformed by the renewing of your mind by these truths in scripture, as you accept Gods word at face value and apply it by faith as being spiritual facts, that you believe these, that you receive the gospel, the good news that you receive your place “In Christ”  
 
The same one who spoke the creation we experience now into existence in 6 days said words in the gospel to bring us into His presence as soon as you believe and receive the invitation. He who said “let there be light” and immediately there was light, also said something else more permanent. And it just is, because He said it. Jesus Christ is the word of God and another creation other than the one you have been common with.
 
We all identify with the 1st physical creation by a physical birth. It is by rebirth in Christ that you experience the new creation. Which is not new for it always was it is only new to you but it never fades or gets old for it is eternal.  And we experience this because of Christs work here on earth from the cross. It is not a product of a 2nd coming. And you do this by faith. Having faith “In Christ” puts you “In Christ” by spiritual birth. Faith is the invisible action which gives you access into the invisible creation.
 
So at Christs final coming when the mystery is complete and this old creation has served it’s purpose in raising up offspring of God to the fullness and stature of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4..) then time will cease (Rev 10.6), matter will be removed (Heb 12.28) elements of this age will dissolve (2 Peter 3..) So it can be said “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 still. And he who is holy let him be holy still. (Rev 22.11)  What you have become here is what you always will be. What you have chosen and believed or disbelieved will be manifest. The gospel will expire, the invitation will be retracted and the age of transformation will be over. You are what you are and those who have not believed the gospel, those who have not judged themselves and passed from judgment to life through the gospel, those left who have not entered the “Kingdom at hand” by associating with Christs death and resurrection, will have to stand alone to be judged.
 
When what is now invisible is manifest, faith will be no more, for it will be undeniable. There will be no more reward for faith, because faith is not necessary, for all will see. And transformation will cease. The age for each to follow Christ and go through our own transfiguration will be over. For it is now in this age of faith and grace that “we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same full image from the glory to the glory, by the spirit of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3.18)  This speaks not of a 2nd coming but in the here and now by the power that was displayed from the cross when Christ Jesus was elevated far above all powers and principalities, all enemies having been subjected to Him back then. Not a 2nd coming.
 
For to what you have attained in your sojourning here on earth, what you have received by faith will be your manifest reward. Like Daniel wrote 12.3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like
the stars forever”. 
 
2 Peter 3.10-13 talks about this final day when the Lord that comes as a thief and wraps up this age, when this creation clashes with eternity “in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will burn with a fervent heat, both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up”  And if the earth and the works are burned up it is for the eternal unchangeable to remain. You cannot change then. But here you can through the gospel message salvation from the Christ of the cross.
The 2nd or last coming Jesus doesn’t offer grace and transformation to get you there which is why 2 Peter also says 3.14 Therefor brethren looking forward to these things be diligent to be found by Him in peace without spot and blameless. Why? Because “all things will be manifest for the day will declare it”.
 
So now is your time of transfiguration/transformation by the message of the cross that produces faith “In Christ”. A 2nd coming as a physical event cannot bring spiritual transformation, faith does. When the end of time and matter come, it will be a fact and not faith, and it is only by faith that we please God and our faith is why He rewards us. (Heb 11.6)
 
If you understand this message then you can see the danger and the peril for trading in the Christ of the cross for a 2nd coming Jesus to save you. These two are contrary to one another. The concept of a 2nd coming Jesus becoming a physical fact for humanity to see to believe Him, that they will see Him and be transformed, are ignoring Him who does that now. That concept spits in the face of Jesus on the cross and disrespects those who have believed Him throughout the ages.  You will see and believe? It is those who believe without seeing that are blessed with this.
 
It is second coming seekers who need to repent and believe Him who is from the beginning. Trade in him who is coming later to save you for Him who stands at the door and knocks now (Rev 3.20)  For if it is (a wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign” then the second coming seeker message is the mother of all harlots. All the denominations that speak of another day for their Jesus to save them and transform them, deny the work of Christ at the cross who said “It is finished”. That is a message if possible to deceive the elect.
 
They know Him not by faith, but need facts. And with our transformation being a work of His spirit in this age by faith in the Christ of the cross, the enemy is anything that keeps us from our transformation now. Ephesians 4..to no longer be children tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men in cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive but speaking the truth in love, growing up in all things into Him who is the head. Till we all come to the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure and stature of the fullness of Christ.” in the here and now. “Today if you hear His voice!” 
So where do you get from these verses that a 2nd coming has anything to do with Gods work in you now and your purpose for being here? Put on Christ now so you will not be found naked and ashamed. 
However fascinating end time speculations may be, when is the rapture? How many resurrections are there? Are they building the temple yet? When will they start the sacrifices? Are they ready to set the cornerstone? These are all blind denials of what Jesus already did. And if you the reject what he already did then you reject the gift and count yourself unworthy. You make yourself an enemy of Christ. Especially if you are spewing this nonsense. You are making your converts twice the sons of hell as yourself. You are anti-christ  
 
Jesus Christ is no longer wrestling with sin or fighting against Satan. He is not strategizing or dispatching heavenly angels in a battle. He is seated waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool. The cross was so absolutely crushing and defeating to all His enemies, foes and obstacles that He is now seated with the Father. It is He who blazed for us a path into the presence of the Father His enemies now are not Satan, sin or principalities for they were obliterated at the cross. (Hebrews 2.14) The only obstacle now is unbelief. People do not believe the gospel. Christ said at the cross “it is finished” and it is. He saved, secured, and redeemed us. He delivered us from this wicked world and translated us into the Kingdom of His Son and has fully reconciled us to Himself through Christ. And it is finished at the cross not left for a 2nd coming Jesus to do this. He is not coming back to wage a battle. He is already victorious or He could not be seated in all power and Glory. There are 2 distinctly different Christ’s. The one who saves through the cross or the one who saves at a 2nd coming. One of these Christ’s is an impostor. If Jesus has yet an enemy to be defeated He is not victor and not glorified or seated. But now He is.

General Assembly, church of the firstborn

Posted on September 27, 2014 by ADMIN

Download PDF

 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 firstbornwho are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

 
Here we have in scripture from the holy writ, a verse that is overlooked by the greater portion of Christian denominations. It flies in the face of carnal thinking and understanding. It by-passes time and matter and ascribes what is seen by most as a future event at some event in the sky at a final moment in eschatology, or end time scenarios and talks about a current reality in the spirit as fact to experience saying “but you have come”.
 
I will draw first from the phrase “General Assembly” also translated “Festive Gathering”. This is a direct correlation to the feasts celebrated by the Israelite’s. The 7 feasts that the whole body of believers partook of was the partaking of the body of Christ (1 Cor 10.1-14). This they displayed 3 times or seasons a year at Pass-over, first fruits and End gathering also called Tabernacles and Atonement. And they gathered for these when they were instructed by the trumpet blasts from the leaders. As they gathered for these events it was all the rituals and articles being eternal concepts and timeless realities of Jesus Christ “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world”. These things that they practiced carnally were suppose to imprint these eternal concepts indelibly in their hearts and minds to understand them as spiritual truths to be realized or actualized in a believer. These practices, rituals, and concepts of truth were to train them for proper relationship with the Father as they were able to understand. 
 
They gathered together as one man in the Son of God (Exodus 4.22) partaking of Israel His first born to learn from these things then trade in the physical for the eternal “each one in their own time” (1 Corinthians 15.23) That when faith had come they were no longer under the tutor” (Gal 3.23). This did not happen to the whole nation at once but each person in their own time. And anyone back then who realized and actualized this by faith were a new creation even as it was said of Joshua and Caleb that “they were of a different spirit. They wholly followed the Lord”. If this were not true and as most believe, that no one was born of the spirit before Pentecost then Paul could not have said that the flesh man persecuted the spiritual man like Ishmael persecuted Isaac (Gal 4.29). Or even Cain and Abel 
 
This is why Jesus chided Nicodemus for not knowing that one must be born again saying “are you the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?” It is so easy for us to think dispensation-ally in our humanness because we have to see to believe, but the gospel message was not new with Jesus. It was that all the patterns that Moses saw on Sinai where He took his sandals off because the ground was holy, was now poured into the person of Jesus Christ of whom it is said “I am not worthy to loosen His sandals”. Jesus Christ was the fulfillment of all the law and the prophets. They all had their end and all have expired in the life and times of Jesus Christ. “God who in times past spoke to the fathers by the law and the prophets has in these last days spoken to us by His Son Heb 1.1). There is no more speaking. There is no more prophesying. We however do have the prophetic word delivered to us that is more sure than anything they experienced even more sure than having Jesus in His transfigured form (2 Peter 1.16-19) We look back to the cross and the power of the resurrection that propelled Jesus to the highest place in all created realms as our source for transformation for our own transfiguration in the here and now. We learn the eternal value of all the feasts, rituals and articles and are re-newed in the mind by them. We put them on. This is putting on Christ, and the highest degree they learned in the spirit by their feast’s is tabernacles and atonement of which we have received the atonement/reconciliation now in our tabernacle/tent or also translated Booths. “Know ye not that you are the temple of God?” and of Jesus “Through whom we have now received the Atonement”.  
 
And 2 Corinthians 5.17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
 
The whole purpose of all the feasts was this. Atonement, meaning at-one-ment now, reconciled, joined together now. Not at an end time event. Even as Paul went on to say “I implore you! (I am begging you) on Christs behalf be reconciled to the Father. This is the General Assemble, the Festive Gathering if you are able to receive it. It is all the law with it’s feasts and articles complete in Christ.
 
So you see it is not as end timers view of something in the future to happen in time and matter as they wait for the feast of trumpets so they can be gathered together and be one with Jesus. That is a foolish cause and focus, for it denies the works Jesus did. Jesus Christ was the expectation and all that the law and the prophets taught is not our future expectation but our starting point. They are the foundation on which we stand not a future event “for no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is Christ Jesus”. And again “all the law and the prophets were until Christ. Now the Kingdom is preached and all are pressing their way into it”. 
 
This brings us to another phrase in our beginning verse of Hebrews 12. 22-23, Heavenly Jerusalem. So we will stop here for now and continue later with the place of our citizenship which is when?
 
Ephesians 2.19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Last time anti-christs and Elijah

Posted on September 21, 2014 by ADMIN

Deceptions of the Last Hour

1 John 2.18 Little children, it is the last time; and as you have heard that the[c] Antichrist is coming, even now many anti-christs have come, by which we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 

 

1 John 4.1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that[a] Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 

 

 

The writer John here talks about some who were among them, who would leave them and teach other things. John was safe guarding the believers from these anti-christs who went out from them. It is easy to think of other beliefs and other religions when thinking about this anti-christ spirit that was then and expected to grow. But it was from among them that the falsehood would come.

 

As part of his safe guard John coined some new phrases, and these phrases are relevant to the message about those trying to deceive them and you. And if they were aware that this falsehood was coming they needed to certainly be aware that it already was. If it was small then to get bigger, what is it today? 

 

Well let’s unlock that by associating it with Johns newly termed phrases.  Two of them are related to time. “that which was from the beginning” and “the last time”. These terms were for our safe guarding as well as the term “anti-christ” being those who left them to manifest a new spirit or teaching that violated the truth that Jesus Christ had come in the flesh and need not do so again. Those who deny this, who came out from them, believe something different but similar enough to deceive. If it was not similar it would be no threat but this threat that now 2000 years later has become the threat of all threats to violate the faith once and for all delivered to the saints. This threat ignores the message “from the beginning” and teaches another “last time” for John to have to clarify that they were already in “the last time”.

His message is that the anti-christ that came out of them is a counterfeit to the truth that obscures “that which is from the beginning”, that also obscures “Him who has come in the flesh” who brought salvation. They teach another last time or end times and another coming in the flesh and another saving from planet earth. Hmm! Who might that be?

That is right. The message preached from end timers of a coming 7 year tribulation speak of another Jesus to come again in another end time on the world scene to save His people and bring salvation to planet earth. Yes, another Jesus to appear on the human stage. This just leaves people in the mindset of having to still be saved by a savior.

 

Johns point in us needing to believe that Jesus the Son of God has come, is that what end time seekers expect Jesus to do at a 2nd coming, is what He already did in the beginning, and we already have what they expect to get.

Look what else John said about this.. 1 John 5.4 “and what is the victory that overcomes the world? Even our faith!” Now that verse discredits a 2nd coming as our victory focus altogether. To overcome the world is not an end time, last time or another day event. And the anti-christs are those who teach another end time with another Jesus for delivering us from this world. And they do this because they do not believe the true gospel. Jesus Christ has come in the flesh and brought salvation to us once and for all… 

 

This is scary stuff if you are mixed up in it. Is it the gospel message of the 2nd coming that saves us? Or that which is from the beginning” that John teaches and affirms? John felt it important enough to address this by letter. Is it the message of the cross and the blood of Christ?  Or a tribulation a rapture and a future resurrection that overcomes the world and saves you? So when Jesus came to save, did He do that then? Or just give you a promissory note? Is He King of Kings now or must He become that at a 2nd coming? Is He in full Glory now or must He come here to claim the victory? Did He defeat satan sin and death already? Or does He do that for you later? 

If you are not sure I am afraid for you for you walk in darkness. But we walk in the light for no lie is of the truth. In Him is no darkness or ambiguities. And we are “In Him” this is true to the one who has faith. The 2nd coming message is based on supposed future facts for the carnal senses which violates all the principles of faith. being “the substance of things not seen”. (Hebrews 11.1)

 

Jesus said in John 12.31 “Now is the judgment of this world! Now the ruler of this world is cast out!”

 

Was this a prophesy of a future event? Empty words with no immediate value? I think not if you have faith in the one who said it “from the beginning” for He cannot lie. Every word He ever spoke was accomplished the moment He said it as evidenced by Him speaking forth creation. He who said “Let there be light”? He said “arise and walk”.

 

Another “last time” or another end time teaching of another deliverer to save you keeps you from the gift of God that is “In Christ” now.

You cannot receive this reward because you are closed off thinking it is later. You have faith in a fairy tale of fallen fairies.

You shouldn’t just ponder this message but you should flee. I mean if John equates another last hour, end times with “anti-christ”? It is anti-christ because it rejects the truth that he has saved, delivered, redeemed, and atoned for His people. He put away transgression, made reconciliation for inequity, He brought us everlasting righteousness, He sealed up vision and prophesy and was anointed Most Holy as Jesus said “Now the Son of man is Glorified. And if God is Glorified in Him, God will also Glorify Him immediately.” And He did.

Now there is the Father and Son I know. Who is this 2nd coming deliverer? An impostor to steal your focus from the truth!  He is anti-christ as is the whole message of another coming one to save. You clearly have not accepted that Christ already came in the flesh to do that, and who is anti-Christ. He who believes Jesus must come again in the flesh to save. This is antichrist 

 

That which we have seen we have heard we have handled”. Not what you will see hear and handle later at a 2nd coming, but that which is “from the beginning”.

John the Baptist appeared on the public scene in the spirit and power of Elijah. His ministry and teaching directed many from the city Jerusalem where our Lord was slain that was spiritually called Sodom, (Rev 10.6) and He made  straight the paths of the Lord. His message was not a future kingdom but came preaching that “the Kingdom of God is at hand” in the here and now even back then.  They rejected him then as those who do so now,  who cannot receive this truth from the scriptures and have changed it for a lie “if possible to deceive the elect”

 The term “2nd coming is not found once in the bible.  It was Elijah who said in his day (1 Kings 18.40) seize the prophets of baal! Do not let one of them escape! And this you should do. Purge your mind and spirit from this garb called “end times”  and make straight the way for the Lord to you. Let this be your Elijah moment for “Elijah has come!” (Mt 17.12) And if you do this then the Lord of Glory can appropriately come take His seat in the throne room of your mind and spirit now like you expect Him to do later.  For “at the appropriate time I have heard, and the day of salvation? I have helped! Says the Lord. (Isaiaih 49.8) “Behold now is the accepted time! Now is the day of the saving! (2 Corinthians 6.2)

So the disciples asked then “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come?” The spiritually blind or dead say the same thing today. If they cannot receive Elijah, they surely cannot receive salvation. If you have received the real Savior. Jesus said “You will see me no more until you say “Save now! Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” Some did in His day. He stands at the door and knocks but it is the door of the heart that is closed because of the lie that says “it is later at the “last time”.

Antichrist and the Last Time Deception

Antichrist and the Last time Deception in 1st John

1 John 2.18 Little children, it is the last time; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many anti-christs have come, by which we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 

 

1 John 4.1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that[a] Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 

 

 

The writer John here talks about some who were among them, who would leave them and teach other things. John was safe guarding the believers from these anti-christs who went out from them. It is easy for us to think that John was talking about other beliefs and other religions when thinking about this anti-christ spirit that was then and expected to grow. But it was from among them that the falsehood would come. They use the scriptures.

 

As part of his safe guard John coined some  phrases, and these phrases are relevant to the message about those trying to deceive them and you. And if they were aware that this falsehood was coming they needed to certainly be aware that it already was. If it was small then to get bigger, what is it today? 

 

Well let’s unlock that by associating it with Johns newly termed phrases.  Two of them are related to time. “that which was from the beginning” and “the last time”  which  means “end times”.  These terms were for our safe guarding as well as a 3rd term “anti-christs” being those who “went out who manifest a new spirit or teaching that violated the truth that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Those who deny  this, who came out from them, believe something different but similar enough to deceive. 

 

If it was not similar it would be no threat but this threat that now 2000 years later has become the threat of all threats to violate the faith once and for all delivered to the saints.

 

This threat ignores the true message “from the beginning” and teaches another “last time” or end times, for John to have to clarify “last time”. That message that is anti-christ that came out of them that is a counterfeit to the truth that obscures that which is from the beginning. Their new gospel message obscures “Him who has come in the flesh” who brought salvation. They teach another end time and another coming one to save.

 

That is right. The message preached from end timers speak of another Jesus to come again on the world scene to save His people and bring salvation to planet earth. Yes. another Jesus to appear on the human stage.

 

Johns point in us needing to believe that Jesus the Son of God has come, is that what end time seekers expect Jesus to do at a 2nd coming, is what He already did. We already have what they expect to get. We have overcome the world.

 

Look what John said about this.. 1 John 5.4 “and what is the victory that overcomes the world? Even our faith!” Now this discredits a 2nd coming Jesus to overcome the world, for it is not an end time or another day event. And these anti-christs are those who teach another end time with another Jesus for delivering us from this world. They call it end times and a 2nd coming Jesus.

 

This is scary stuff if you are mixed up in it. Is it the message of the 2nd coming? Or that which is from the beginning” that John teaches and affirms? John felt it important enough to address this by letter. Is it the message of the cross? Or a tribulation a rapture and a future resurrection that overcomes the world and saves you? So when Jesus came to save, deliver and redeem, did He do that then? Or just give you a promissory note?

 

Is He King of Kings now or must He become that at a 2nd coming? Is He in full Glory now or must He come here to claim a victory later? Did He defeat satan sin and death or does He do that later? If you are not sure I am afraid for you for you know Him not.

 

Jesus said in John 12.31 “Now is the judgment of this world! Now the ruler of this world is cast out!” Was this a prophesy of a future event? I think not if you have faith in the one who said it “from the beginning” for He cannot lie. Every word He ever spoke was accomplished the moment He said it as evidenced by Him speaking forth creation. He who said “Let there be light”? He said “arise and walk”.

 

Another end time teaching of another deliverer to save you keeps you from the gift of God that is “In Christ” now. You cannot receive this reward because you are closed off thinking it is later. You have faith in a fairy tale of fallen fairies. You shouldn’t just ponder this message but you should flee. I mean if John equates another last time, end times with “anti-christ”? It is anti-christ because it rejects the truth that he has saved, delivered, redeemed, and atoned. He put away transgression, made reconciliation for inequity, He brought us everlasting righteousness, He sealed up vision and prophesy and was anointed Most Holy as Jesus said “Now the Son of man is Glorified. And if God is Glorified in Him God will also Glorify Him immediately.” Now there is the Father and Son I know.

 

Who is this 2nd coming deliverer? That message is anti-christ, as is the whole message of another coming one clearly has not accepted that Christ already came in the flesh of whom 2 Peter 1.4 says that we are partakers of the divine nature having (already) escaped the corruption that is in the world” 

Who is your deliverer?  The Christ who is? Or a 2nd coming Jesus?

 

That which we have seen we have heard we have handled”. Not what you will see hear and handle at a 2nd coming, but “that from the beginning”.

The Kingdom of God is at hand.

To be, or not to be. “In Christ” 9/14/14

Posted on September 16, 2014 by ADMIN

Download PDF

To be in Christ is some what obscured. If we better understand what this means we can better know the gift of God given to us “In Christ” Jesus.

 
Let’s start with the name Jesus. Unlike how we think of names like John or Jane or what ever. Names for the most part have a certain ring without much association. Many parents may research name meanings to pick one but for the most part a name is not also used as a word. The name of our Lord is how ever different in that regard. His name has specific meaning. Like some cultures with the last name. Like Schumaker, or Smith  or Carpenter, the name is also a word and associates with the trade of that family. We will see that Jesus came in the name of the Father.
 
When Mary and Joseph were instructed to give a name it was for this very reason. He meant what the word, or name meant. There is a lot of ambiguity and confusion over this name partially because of how it has evolved over the years. We use the name “Jesus”. But if we dig into how this name was developed into the name Jesus we see that there is a lot just underneath the surface to understand. The name Jesus was properly interpretated “Joshua” in Hebrews 4. All other renderings in the Greek were translated “Jesus”. Both names Jesus and Joshua come from the Greek word #2424 and is directly referenced from Hebrew #3091 and means “Yeshua saved”. 
We can correctly understand more about His name as we study the name Joshua. The Hebrew concordance shows # 3091 broken down comes from #3068+7 meaning Jehovah, or Yehovah, which is commonly translated into “Lord” and # 3467 and in Hebrew pronounced “Yahsha”. It means “savior” to make safe, free, delivered and succor. So when people heard the name they understood that Joshua/Jesus was the savior, or deliverer by His name. Isn’t that the very role Joshua the successor of Moses pictured?
 
And here again. When the people cried out of Jesus saying “Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord”. They understood that Hosanna was this same name. As you trace it back from the Greek into Hebrew we see from Psalms 118.25 which is worded “Save now! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Nah means now. So what you would have heard would’ve been Yasha now! (save now) Blessed is He who comes in the name of Yasha. The name and the phrase are completely inter-changible.
 
When people said “Jesus” they knew His name meant savior, the one who makes free, safe and succor. The deliverer and  redeemer.
 
So the one from God who comes in His name and saves. His name is what He does. When we say that we are “in Christ” we should understand it as they did that we are in the anointed of God who saves, frees, delivers, redeems and makes save and succor because we are “in Christ” and not because He must come back to do that later. If we think the Jesus Christ must come again to do that then we do not have faith in what His name means and I guess His name really doesn’t mean what the word means. So be it according to your faith. Is He or isn’t He what all the testimony says He is? 
 
So when John the baptist sent message to Jesus asking “are you the coming one, or do we seek another”. “Jesus denied not but said “go tell John what you see and hear. That the blind see and the lame walk”. All this accomplished immediately at His word. He demonstrated the gospel with “power unto salvation” which is to be with Him where He is in spirit and truth
Okay then His name means all those things. Now if we see that it means that in contrast to something then we get a bigger picture. God created the contrasts of light and dark and such for definition and the contrast of being “in Christ” is to not be “in Adam”. Here we have the old creature and the new creature. So when scripture says we are a new creature this is what it means. Just as all things are in Christ, it is the “all things” of the new creation. All things have their fulfillment “in Him”, in Jesus Christ. The first man Adam of the flesh with earthly possessions to return to dust and the new man Christ born of the spirit with heavenly possessions seated in the heavenlies. One creature with a sin nature and the new one “Righteous even as He is righteous. (1 John 5..)
 
So when scripture says that “He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies”. It is as it was pictured “in Joshua” They had to move forward into the promises and appropriate them by faith. We do this now that we have become a saint, meaning one whose identity is “In Christ” “If God said so, we are able”.
 
Didn’t we take on our new identity at baptism where we bury the old man by the working of faith to be raised new “In Christ”? That the Adamic nature has passed away and “all things become new” as we associate with Christ’s death and His resurrection?
This is what baptism means, and if we take our proclamation from baptism at faith value then we do not have to look to our physical body to die for our being risen “in Christ” to be our new reality. We died because He died. We are risen because He is risen, we are seated with Him because He is, and we are all that right now because “As He is so are we in the world”. So if we are “In Christ” We are where He is and we have forgone the need to personally experience death to be resurrected at some future point in time, for “He by the grace of God has tasted death for every man”.
So the price is paid. Even as Christ told His disciples ” As I said to the Jews that you cannot follow me, you too cannot follow me now, but you shall follow me after ward”. He spoke of His death and resurrection. We follow Him now. And this means to follow Him where He is as He prayed in John 17. This is W.W.J.D.? Not random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty, but “That where I am you may be also”. To “follow the Lamb wherever He goes”.
 
Here then we no longer identify with our old Adamic sinful nature by being “In Adam”, but we take His gift we identify as “In Christ” in His death and His resurrection now becoming our death and our resurrection gifted to us from the working of the cross and the life of Jesus Christ on earth. We proceed forward in this new life.
If Romans could be reduced to a main theme it is this which we speak. The new life in the spirit.
 
It is as if you are in a car race and you see a jalopy off the track, broke down headed the wrong direction with your name on it. You can go stand next to it in shame or go to the winners circle where the victory party has commenced. Are you in the old creation of the flesh? Or the new being “In Christ”? And from Joshua “choose you this day!”
 
So our first step was baptism which was also symbolized in the Passover. This is your cross over from death to life. Even as the Egyptians lost their first born, you became one of Gods. We do not follow Moses for their dead bodies died in the wilderness because they would not believe. They had not faith. But we do however resume our journey with Joshua/Jesus. Our promise land is His word full of promises. And if you are new “in Christ” and all things are new, then unlike Adam who walks the earth created for him by the first word, Christ being the Word of God, and we walk in the promises, this happens “in Christ in the heavenlies, and not “In Adam” on earth. Then after we are in the land of His word we journey to the heavenly city that was portrayed in the earthly city called Jerusalem. You see even as Joshua was instructed to lead the people into the land to give them their inheritance and He did so, he still spoke of another day symbolizing that what they did only mimicked the spirit but that there was also more.
The same way with Jerusalem. And this was the reason the Lord had them build up and inhabit Jerusalem, to be evicted some 30 plus times. From 1 Corinthians 13.– when that which is perfect has come that which is in part is done away with”. This is speaking about spiritual harvests into the ever ready Kingdom of God when He takes away the physical. Hebrews 8..”He takes away the first to establish the second. The physical has trae in value for the eternal. Gal 4 But after faith has come you are no longer under the law, and other teaching tools.
 
So if we can see all the Old Testament earthen pictures as spiritual realities to pursue and obtain, then we do not need a physical city anymore at all. They had the old pictures, but we have the prophetic word more sure. Their very accounts written down for our understanding sustain us in the here and now if we take them as heavenly manna and not being ignorant not knowing His word and power in the gospel actuated by faith.
The only thing that keeps us out of truly being “in Christ”is believing in false doctrines. There are many who trade the truth for “the lie if possible to deceive the elect” That Jesus must come again to save us as though He didn’t perform salvation right the first time. Salvation is not a down payment as though it’s a holding cell. “You are complete “in Him” who is the head of all power and principality” now if you are “In Christ”.
You cannot be “In Christ” and not be with Him. And if you are “In Him” and with Him who said “Lo I am with you always”. Who also said “I will never leave you or forsake you”, why then must He come a 2nd time to do something as though you do not have?  Pursue the matters in faith.

In due time we shall reap. Your time of visitation

Posted on September 8, 2014 by ADMIN

Download PDF

From Galatians 6.9 for in due time we shall reap if we do not faint”. The phrase due time is better rendered “own time” or “personal time” indicating that this is not a collective reaping like a 2nd coming . And of Israel of old who “knew not their time of visitation”. But we do. This is our appointed time if you have ears to hear.

This word from the Greek “due” is translated “own” several times like here in 1 Corinthians 15. 23 of the resurrection and being made alive, quickened.. That it will happen “to each one in his own (due) order”. This is not a collective event that we all have to wait for as the 2nd coming seekers teach, but each one in their own order. And same chapter verse 38 speaking of a resurrected that  “every seed their own body. Their own order.

So these concepts, better yet spiritual truths are manifest in their own time, due time, private time, each one in their own order.  By the one who “stands at the door (of your heart) and knocks”. Who need not to reappear again in a carnal construct to do so.

 

We need to quit looking at the various stages of our faith as a collective event fulfilled all at once at a second coming and allow yourself to advance step by step now. “If you are able to receive it” From Philippians 3.16 ” to the degree that you have attained, so walk ye in it. So we do.

 

With this in mind let us look at Galatians 3.23+ indicating that the law and the prophets were our tutors to bring us to Christ, but after faith, after the invisible comes we are no longer under the physical, visible, the law and the prophets, the tutors and toys. These are fulfilled in Christ.

This is the “when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part is done away with” in 2 Corinthians 13.10. Not a 2nd coming.. But perfect in understanding.

This is the “sown corruptible, physical, raised in-corruptible,  invisible. in the spirit of the mind.  2 Corinthians 15.42+ Not a 2nd coming of a collective bodily resurrection, but each  one in their own order, in their own time, due time, personal time.

This is like Jacobs ladder where he saw the angels of God ascending and descending. Where he called that place “Bethel” meaning “house of God”  the “gate of heaven”. Where God promised to give him that land. And who was that Ladder with Beth-el and the land having the gate to heaven and the angels of God ascending and descending? Why it was none other then Jesus Christ, He fulfilled that too.”Can you believe this?  Then “hereafter you shall see the heavens open up and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man. (John 1.51)

All things are “In Christ” and in Him is the house of God, be it called Bethel, or Shiloh, or Jerusalem, and He is the gate to heaven. This is why He could say “the Kingdom of God is at hand, right here. He is it, it is in Him. In Him all the promises of God are yes and amen to the glory of God the Father.

 

This is another reason why another physical Jerusalem on earth, or another coming of the man called Jesus to rule on planet earth is an unnecessary redundancy. For thinking this I destroy what the Lord accomplished in the Spirit and make myself a transgressor and a denier.

 

Jerusalem was already sown incorruptible, destroyed in the visible for you to acknowledge the invisible “Kingdom of God at hand” the incorruptible Jerusalem that comes from God.

You cannot see Him or His Kingdom with physical eyes that can only see this creation anyway.

It is He alone who has immortality dwelling in unapproachable light whom no man has seen or can see.  (1 Tim 6.16)

Do you now see? can you now believe? Is this your own time, due time, private time, own order?

The Kingdom of God is at hand.

Our Foundation and our City

Posted on September 8, 2014 by ADMIN

When the signers of the Constitution of The United States of America did so, they knew that they would not enjoy the freedoms they had laid down their lives for. They sacrificed their blood for their grand children and future generations. You may say that they are the very foundations on which we stand if you are an American

 
This is also true of the prophets and the apostles. They were set aside last for death as Paul said and; “We have become poor so you may become rich”. The signers of the constitution did not do so for us to continue to die but to enjoy the freedoms. And this is a picture of the glorious liberty of the sons of God. Meaning those who are “in Christ”. And this is speaking not of a future state of being but one of the spirit now. We have liberties and access, or better yet “keys to the kingdom”. This is a current reality, the Kingdom. 
 
Ephesians says that now “we are citizens and fellow members of the house hold of God having been built on the foundation of the apostles, Prophets. Jesus Christ is the cornerstone. So it is not as though we look up to that foundation as something that comes latter, but to walk on it now,  for it was laid for us to stand on it as a platform to live on. 
 
This is what is meant when Jesus said that “all the law and the prophets were until John. He who is least in the kingdom is greater than he”.  These men gave their lives for us to enjoy “the glorious liberties as children of God”. Peter describes us as “coming to Him as living stones, chosen by God and precious 
 
If you are “in Christ” you are in the kingdom as it states in Ephesians 2 and as we have just quoted, and from 1st Peter 2, then you are greater than the prophets and apostles in their physical state. Even as the book of Hebrews 12 talks about those who wandered the earth of whom the world was not worthy. You see 1 ounce of eternity is of grater value than the whole created realm of time and matter, EMC=square, big bang stuff. This all has an end and burns with a fiery heat, but eternity does not. So someone who is in the Kingdom is greater than all this.
 
This may be hard to accept if you are looking for an earthen city, or a place having physical features that you are used to seeing on earth. But Christ said many times that His Kingdom is not from here, not of this creation, not seen with eyes for this world. His Kingdom is as eternal and ubiquitous as He is. The Kingdom places and articles are features and characteristics of His very nature and make up. They were with Him in the beginning because it is Him. He comes and His reward is with Him because it is Him. He said “the Kingdom of God is at hand” because it is Him. And if we accept Him as He is now, as He appears now, as He comes now ubiquitous and invisible, He rewards us now. We are granted greater liberties into the Kingdom by the Holy Spirit.
 
2 Peter 1 talks about invisible attributes of God. That if we put these on, we put on godliness, meaning God-like-ness. In so doing we are “supplied an entrance abundantly into the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”. And this does not speak of a future reward but a current reality of life in the Spirit of the living God. “To him who has, more will be given. To him who has not, even what he has will be taken”. Are you getting this?
This same place is described by John the revelator as the city that comes down from God in heaven, the true Jerusalem. Not a coming one to carnality but the one we awaken to as we seek the things above, above the foundation. All the works and words from the scriptures are to do just this. Take us to the Kingdom. 
 
What was pictured in and culminated at with Solomon in JeruShalome, putting the ark in the Holies of the house of  God, the general assembly having been gathered to and celebrated the feasts of trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles. All the places and articles and people were assembled as one. Then the people were sent their way having been to the grand finale. It was all over to start up again the next year. We have that. That was the gospel message.
They spoke of and walked out what we have in the spirit. They played out the very nature
and characteristics of the invisible God in whom we now dwell.
 
What they played out on earth was sown corruptible and raised incorruptible in our hearts, mind,and spirit so that we can worship Him in Spirit and truth. Where He is as He is. For “as He is, so are we in this world”. And “We have this treasure in earthen vessels” in the here and now! That which is perfect has come to the one who has faith. 
 
All the gifts and promises of God are as invisible and ubiquitous as He is. And the new you, the true you is just like Him for “we see Him as He is” if you can receive Him. We grow up in understanding to a perfect man, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, up into Him who is the head of the body, Jesus Christ. The same yesterday today and forever. The one who cannot become for He already was. And the Kingdom is with Him for it is Him.
 
The Kingdom of God is at hand.

The Quickening, being made alive, and the rapture.

Posted on September 6, 2014 by ADMIN

Download PDF

In 1st Corinthians 15 Paul defines The gospel from the cross of Jesus Christ. Paul qualifies himself as the 12 born in due time as one having seen the Lord, of which is the main qualification to have seen the Lord “to take part in this ministry” (Acts 2). Paul however did not witness the physical cross and Jesus with his eyes but that of a light that shown from heaven that blinded him. The eyes of his understanding. He saw the Lord as He truly is. 

 
Paul lays out the gospel saying “Now Christ is risen from the dead and has become the first fruits, for as “in Adam” all die, even so “In Christ” all live, but each one in their own order. First Christ, the first fruits than those at his coming, then comes the end when He delivers the Kingdom up to the Father.
 
The topic today is the “made alive”. From verse 22 “In Christ all live” or “all are quickened”. This comes from Strong’s # 2227 and used also in these verses.
 
John 5.21 As the Father raises the dead and quickens them, even so the Son quickens whomever He wants”.
Rom 4.17 God who quickens the dead and calls the things that don’t exist as though they do. (like the quickening)
Romans 8.10+ If Christ is in you the body is dead. And He who raised Christ from the dead quickens your mortal bodies by His spirit who now lives in you”.
2 Corinthians 3.6 the letter kills but the and spirit quickens.
 
These verses all define the “made alive” or the “quickening” not as a future event associated with a second coming but that which happens when you receive the Holy Spirit. That at one time we were like zombies but when the grace of God appears we receive that we are then quickened, we are made alive.
Now back to 1 Corinthians 15.22b “in Christ all are quickened in their own order” Have you not been quickened? Have you received Gods Holy Spirit? Rom 8 For as many as are led by the spirit of God, these are the children of God. How then is it the 2nd coming seeker gospel has taken the power out of the cross and assigned it to an event they call His 2nd coming?
Paul continues to develop this quickening and how a seed must be sown corruptible to be raised incorruptible. That the first man Adam became a human being, but the last Adam (Christ) is a life giving (quickening) spirit”.
Are we not born from Him? This is not talking about a future event on planet earth that happens to a select group of people who anticipate this quickening they define as a rapture followed by a tribulation. But “As many as are led by His spirit, these are the sons of God” having been quickened. Or are they are gonna be His offspring at a later event? I think not. It is “all are made alive in their own order, Christ, the first fruits, then those who are His when He appears (like Paul who was blinded by the light that appeared from heaven for his time had come. It was his own order) then the last enemy that is destroyed is death”
Has Christ not already done that? Didn’t He do that at the cross for you? Or does He have to do that again in the future when He comes on a white horsey? Blasphemy!
 
John 5.24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.  How about you?
 
Do you now believe? Can you now receive?  If yes then lets sacrifice this modern sacred cow at the altar of the living God,  of the 2nd coming seekers that preach of a jesus who has yet to deliver (save) his people from planet earth. They say He must do so by a humanly visible rapture seen by the carnal eyes. But it does not because it is “in the twinkling of an eye” faster than humanly discernible we have already been quickened and made alive by the working of faith (the greater works we shall do of believing in Him) and we have been catapulted past death to life. And this is from “Him who calls things that are not as that do not exist (to the human eyes) as though they do (because they are). For our corruption does put on incorruptibility as we learn to put on the new man made in His likeness. This visible puts on the invisible. His very invisible attributes. This is true godliness, god-like-ness.
Do we not put off the old person and death at baptism? Are we not then raised with Him by the working of faith? Did you then see the spirit descend on you and make you alive new by the Holy Spirit? No! All that happened in the blink of an eye as do all works of the spirit.  They are all as invisible as He. “So when this corruptible puts on incorruptible it is then that corruption puts on in-corruption for death to be swallowed up in victory because of the cross and not of a 2nd coming. And it is at our baptism that we confess this publicly. “Each in their own order” Have you done that?
Do we each then deny this article and foundation of our faith and trade it for a mausoleum of a 2nd coming as though there is only a 1st and 2nd? And that the victory is later? 
Why is it the teachers today say Elijah must come? Jesus said; I tell you Elijah has come” And of the 2nd coming seekers not only believe Elijah must come but everything is later. That Jesus must come too. They reject Elijah and the Lord.  It is the spirit of Elijah even now that sacrifices the sacred cows of false prophets.  Is this your Elijah come? Can you throw that fodder of end time teachings into the fire?
If you are “in Christ”? Then the victory is now for you because of the cross, for it is not a 2nd coming gift. Are you not in His (resurrected) body? Part of the body of Christ? Or are you in a different body? A later to become lord at a later to become kingdom with a later to become victory? A different jesus.

 

Paul wraps up his discourse of this topic with these words in verse 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” This victory was the cross that defeated death and brought immortality to light through the gospel. This is the true gospel.

 

Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand!
