Now, as you are one with God and He is one with you, in Christ Jesus in you and through the Holy Spirit in, on and all around you -- ONENESS and INTIMACY are. There is nothing you can do to 'get it' other than ask Jesus into your heart, and accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord, and ask Abba/Daddy/Father God for the free gift of the Holy Spirit -- Yes when you become Born Again, you enter into an initmate, powerful, personal relationship 24/7 with God.
Now is the time for those who are called to True Authority - in and through Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit - to step out on the Faith of the Son of God within you and speak to all the mountains that surround us and attempt to limit our being to what the enemy of our soul has decided is his. Yes, the enemy of our soul wants everything we have, and if we don't wake up and pay attention -- this fallen one steals the very authority we have -- why? how? -- because we are not using this power -- and we foolishly 'think' the enemy is stronger or more powerful than we are -- after all how many of you 'believe' you are just 'sinners saved by grace'? If you are born again why call yourself something that you no longer are?
Paul states it like this in 2 Corinthians 4:6-10-- Read prayerfully as in asking God to Make the truth alive for where you are:
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts,
to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure
in earthen vessels,
that the excellency
of the power
may be of God,
and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side,
yet not distressed;
we are perplexed,
but not in despair;
9 Persecuted,
but not forsaken;
cast down,
but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about
in the body
the dying
of the Lord Jesus,
that the life
also of Jesus
might be made
manifest in our body.
For God has made a way for us out of the no way of our former lives -- the first Adam was
a living soul -- and the second Adam (Jesus) was a quickening spirit. ! Corinthians 15:45
45 And so it is written,
The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Now let's read the scriptures before and after this:
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
So yes, there is a final transformation still coming at the coming of Christ -- yet, we are in the process of new life here on earth -- becoming what God purposed for us to be in the living soul seed -- now that we have the quickening spirit within, in fact are we not the spirit child of God within the earthen vessel -- are we not on the way to be-coming the total manifested fruit of the Spirit of God - hmmm.
Well as God is with us, and within us, and we are/have this treasure in the earth suit of flesh - this is the witness of God to others - that we are who we are and whose we are -- as we live and move and have our being in Christ, in God, in the Holy Spirit in us.
So when we worship God, Father, Holy Spirit, Son, in the beauty of holiness -- as in one with the all in all - we are initmate and being conformed to the image of Christ -- more and more, daily, 24/7 -- so then as a baby babbles - and then learns to speak - so we have been learning and growing in God's Living Word - to be the speakers of God's will in these last days.
The trying of our faith, brings forth well let's read it from the Living Word: James 2-6a
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering....
So James is telling us to count it ALL joy -- everything we go through every difficulty we experience, every disappointment, every frustration, whatever it is COUNT IT ALL JOY. Why? Because the trying, as in exercising, of our faith works paitience - as in enduring the time frame of all we go through -- count it all joy because we are learning through the exercise, the trying of our faith to trust God more than the circumstance -- to get the picture of building up our spiritual bodies -- so that the muscles of faith are strong and enable us to do all we need to and more in Christ.
Now, I pray that you are in Christ and that the Holy Spirit is leading and guiding you into All Truth about who you are and whose you are. I am not saying we have arrived -- I am stating that even in our earthen vessel time we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus in us our Hope of Glory !!! Now.
In the holy of holies we are one, and this is a way of stating the truth of being born again back before it was even thought of as possible. The layout of the temple is a layout of the body -- outer court - flesh, bones, eyes, hands, ears, mouth, eyes -- inner court - organs, veins, blood vessels -- and holy of holies - the heart -- all of what was given in the old testament was pointing to the Body of Christ in the new testament -- God who knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end knew what he created, and in all of creation all points to living manifestation of God's will being done.
So as you pray are you aware of the intimate side of your relationship, your being? First and foremost you are who you are and born again child of God; and second you are God's child - and since God is spirit -- so are you, hmmm, in an earthen suit/vessel.
So look at all that is around you, pressing you down, and trying to beat up on you and COUNT IT ALL JOY - in and through God in you your hope of glory in Christ Jesus.
Start out simply stating 'I count it all joy for all I am going through' == and then as you begin to grow more aware of your intimate connection to God - you can begin to address the issues specifically. Like -- I am counting it all joy for all the pain I feel during these hard economic times, because greater is God, Abba, Holy Spirit, and Living Word Son within me than he, the enemy of my soul, that is in the world!!! Oh Yea!!! Shout and smile and get over the mountain -- God's way is THE WAY out of the no way you've been sitting around in.
Peace!!!!
