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. Â 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

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

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

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

The Christmas Jesus Vision I was driving a vehicle like a golf cart. Along came this man who I would define as despicable having characteristics of every wicked person I have ever encountered. I knew this man to be evil but I also knew that I was divinely instructed to go with him against my will. I proceeded to drive backwards looking over my shoulder but then cooperating I turned the cart around to better see where I was going.. I then knew we were visiting the lower ranks in the spirit. Having reached a building we entered into

We have discussed in previous articles how Paul teaches in Ephesians that we having been made alive together with Christ, having raised us up together In Christ, and made us sit together with Christ in the heavens with Christ is the very “gathering together of the fullness of times”. The mystery of the gospel that was entrusted to Paul for him to make all men see.  Pauls stewardship and purpose was just this. To make all see the purpose that He accomplished in Christ at the cross so that we would have “boldness and access with confidence and faith “In Him”. Paul had finally come to grips

 To the intent that now the manifest, declared wisdom of God would be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavens. To make all of us see the dispensation of this mystery. Paul said these words then and it is as true for us today.  It is Christ’s body, the church that fills all and all now (1.20) It was by His death and resurrection that He was seated far above all powers in this age and every age for all eternity. And this is a reality not at a 2nd coming but by

Ephesians 2.20+ Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. In whom the whole building of God is joined together. Â Wow! What a remarkable verse. We “Having been built” in the city of our God. Â 2.11 Therefor remember, be reminded, know and understand that we were once gentiles, we were once aliens from the citizenship. But now we are not. We have been brought together by the blood of Jesus Christ. Not a 2nd coming event. “He made us all one, He reconciled us all together through the

When that which is perfect has come, that which is in part is done away with. 1 Corinthians 13.10   Abraham was waiting for a city whose builder and maker, or fabrication and anatomy is God. This place of our inheritance being eternal is God. The gift of eternal life that we are receiving is not something being made as though it had not been. If it had once not been it could not be eternal.  The word talks about the buildings and structures  of Jerusalem. But the buildings and structures and Jerusalem had their invisible counterpart. Meaning

The Lords Supper  Matthew 26.26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s

Colossians 2. 9 For in him (Jesus Christ) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with

Hebrews 3.13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,â€Â lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,  10.25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. The main theme of the book of Hebrews is the “Rest of God, the true Sabbath where He is” This is the gospel, this is the message “Today! if you will hear His voice” Which is the voice that

John 14.2 Says ” In my Fathers house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you so. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will Come Again and receive you to myself, that where I am you may be also. Here we have mansions, dwellings or abodes depending on your translation, with the Father. And we have the way to these Jesus being the way the truth and the light”. The only thing missing was in your mind. When Jesus went to the

Yes modern Christianity has been hijacked and has become as ineffective as the Jews in the time of Christ. They are not entering the Kingdom, nor are they allowing those to enter who are trying to do so. Mt 23.13 For even John the baptist asked “are you the Coming One or do we seek another.” And Jesus could have gone through a discourse of His 2nd coming and define the supposed raptures and resurrections and 7 year tribulation or whatever you see as the kingdom come and a future coming one to save and resurrect you but instead

Just as it is commonly thought that the gifts of Christ are actuated at a second coming, so too with the wrath of God.  But Romans 1..18 says that “the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness. The wrath of God is not so much  a physical place as it is a spiritual reality. Although it can manifest at a place of time and matter, but it is more so the condition of the inner man. In Ephesians 2 Paul talks about how we were children of wrath but when the grace of God

Jesus Christ in John 14.2 Says ” In my Fathers house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you so. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will Come Again and receive you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And this He did. The mansion with the rooms were already there. The preparation was His word. This was accomplished by the word of God as was the first creation. Jesus Christ who spoke the creation of time and matter,

Caiaphas the high priest made the statement that “it is expedient that one man (speaking of Christ) should die for the people, and not only that but that He would gather together in one (in Christ) all the children of God scattered abroad.  This is about believers scattered about in different doctrines, beliefs and denominations. and a great truth. As He said “where two or more are gathered together in my Name there am I”, gathered “in Christ”. And as we are gathered to eternal truths that were with the father, we are gathered to something much more than a city  at a specific point

Matthew 16.27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. 28 “Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.† And this was almost 2000 years ago. Jesus spoke these words to His disciples. That some then would see Him coming in His Kingdom. That they would see the Kingdom of God present with power. It was then that Peter, James and John witnessed Christs transfiguration. We think, how lucky they were

Watch comes from the Greek word; gregoreuo, means to be awake, vigilant, alert. The root of that word comes from the Greek; egeiro, the idea of collecting ones facilities. To waken from sleep, sickness or disease. From; egersis, which means a resurgence from death.  It is these words are used in association with resurrection and ascension and the watching of them. More specifically being awake and watchful is about the Lords coming in power. “Watch for you know not the day or the hour that your Lord is coming be it the 1st, 2nd or 3rd watch. But if that evil servant

      The purpose of the Gospel is to enter the Kingdom Now!  The Jewish leaders in the time of Christ were chided by Him saying “you are not entering the Kingdom, not only that, you are not allowing those to enter who are trying to do so”. They could enter then as we can now. The kingdom of God is now!  The whole purpose and the sole purpose of the gospel is to get people into the Kingdom of God now. To be reconciled now. Not just a saying or a document but an eternal reality.
