The Multiple Conception

10/27/2012

When Twins are conceived they are conceived together in the same womb at the same time in the same act of love, and they are related in a more connected way than other siblings.

2000 years ago we were crucified with Christ, mystically included on the cross (our Cross), a cross was the means of death, but for the Creation of the new creatures it became a means of everlasting life. It was our "womb", where all of us were "conceived" together in the same act of love at the same moment,
and in His spirit we are significantly connected. His resurrection delivered us into a new existence of Spirit and Truth.

We are related by the new birth like twins, connected in a better way and belonging to the same root. I was there on that cross and as I was there, you were right there with me! Brothers and Sisters, we are ALL brothers and sisters. We are family! :-)

Mystical Love, Conception and Birth. A new creation, a brand new population, a new multiplication of new regenerate humanity to subdue the earth and bring
order to all of creation.

He seeks to populate the Earth with people who are in His image outwardly and inwardly.

I love how death was defeated and what was intended to kill One Man, made the birthing of heaven's population possible.

We were conceived for our eternal destiny, at a moment designed to kill the Man, Jesus, the devil was not just defeated once by Jesus' Resurrection, but over and over, as a multiplicity of "Jesus", His life abounding and placed into the very structure of humanity as ALL creation was reconciled by God to Himself.

2 Corinthians 5:19, Paul wrote, "namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation." Amen!  :-)

When there is more rejoicing in heaven because a person is brought into being aware of their salvation, I believe the enemy re-experiences that moment of
complete and utter defeat, as Christ died on the cross to give us eternal life. All the saints were made alive and were brought into being, where sin, the enemy's weapon against creation was removed from the
fray forever, where there is no adversary there is no war. Stop fighting a fight that's already been won.

See how utterly crushed the enemy has been...See how far removed sin and death have been put from you, "As far as The East Is From The West"... (Psalm 103:12) See how what was intended for evil was completely turned to GOOD.

"Though your sins be as scarlet I will make them white as snow" Isaiah 1:18

Man, It is So Finished.

Great and Mighty Things

10/24/2012

1 Comment

God said, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know."

Ever wonder about something that doesn't quite add up??

Isaiah 66:9, "Shall I bring to the point of birth and not give delivery?" says the Lord.

God will not bring us through pain without giving us life.

David wrote in Psalm 34:4, "I sought the Lord, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears."

If you feel fear, call to God and He will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

If you feel anxious, call to God and He will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

If you feel hurt or lost, call to God and He will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

If you have a sickness or need healing in any way, call to God and He will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

There is a living God inside you. The same God that saved the world by sending His son to die on a cross. The same God that overcame this world. For as He is in this world, so also are we. :-)

We love because He first loved us. Call on your Daddy and He will answer you and show you great and mighty things! :-)

Thank you, Father!

The Fragrance of Christ

Do we ever judge other people when they miss the mark? Paul warns about this type of attitude in Galatians 6:1, "Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ." That is love, baby! :-) Awesome!

The truth of the matter is this. Even though we are saints, born with a new heart as a new creation, we are all still capable of missing the mark. As we all struggle with desires of the flesh (self-effort) during transformation, let's cut each other some slack and realize that God continues to be revealed in each of our lives.

Christ has come to live inside each of us through the person of the Holy Spirit, and He has left us with a promise. Paul writes in Philippians 1:6, "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."

This work is completed by the manifestation of the life that already dwells inside us. We will be conformed to the image of His Son. Notice it is the life that is already inside us, not God completing the work, or our self-efforts completing the work. We are not saying, thanks God, we got it from here. He started it and He finished it! The work is already finished. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father. We are already seated at the right hand of the Father. What a great picture of rest. It is the manifestation of the life of Christ inside of us that transforms our behavior to the image of the Son. Amen!

Even when we struggle with the desires of the flesh, the life of Christ is still manifesting in our lives. Our struggles do not surprise, frustrate or disappoint Him. He already knows what we are going to do before we do it, and He has no expectation or confidence in our flesh. :-) He lives in us, and whether we struggle or not, we continue to be conformed to His image.

The renewal of the mind is the part of the transformation process that changes our desires to His desires. This ocurs throught the revelation of His love. It does not happen immediately.

Imagine walking through a field of orange trees or any other kind of fruit that you want to imagine. You may notice some orange trees that have a lot of fruit or some with just some fruit or maybe even some without any fruit. Now, picture yourself picking off one of the oranges that is still green and smaller than the size of a golf ball. Would we call it a 'green' since that is its color and it does not look like an orange yet? Or would we still call it an orange that has not fully matured?

We have been made complete and perfect in Christ. We are completely forgiven, fully redeemed, spiritually alive, and we rest in the righteousness of Christ for eternity. We are saints. We are holy! We are seated at the right hand of the Father. There is nothing we can do or not do to be separated from Him and His love.

Are we perfectly mature? No. Even though we are aware of the sometimes difficult process of growth, He sees us as already there. Let's be more tolerant and forgiving of each other while the life inside of us manifests and bears the fruit of the Spirit. We are still oranges whether there are big, juicy oranges on our branches or we are just starting to flower out with the fragrance of Christ.

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 2:15, "For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;"

God will never love you more or less than He does right at this very moment. To God, we smell like Christ! To God, we are as He is in this world! We are sons and daughters of God. Amen! :-)

That is a truth that can set you free!

Thank you, Jesus! :-)

A sinner or a saint?

10/1/2012

There is a false teaching in the church that is causing many people to consider themselves still sinners. Some will even say, I know the Bible says we are saints, but we are still sinners. This double-minded thinking prevents one from receiving the fullness of God's grace. How we see ourselves has a huge impact on how we behave. Let's see what the Word tells us.

Paul tells us in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Notice Paul says, 'while we were still sinners'....were meaning past tense. We are no longer what we were. We are a new creation! (2 Corinthians 5:17)

63 times in the New Covenant believers are referred to as saints.

We are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. God does not live in a dirty house. We have been cleansed ONCE for ALL by the blood of Jesus. The sooner we start seeing ourselves as saints instead of sinners, the sooner our behavior will match up with this awesome reality.
:-)

Paul wrote in Romans 1:7, "to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints:"

Paul wrote in Romans 8:27, "because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1:2, "to those who have
been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling..."

We know as believers that we are sanctified (set apart by God) from several verses in the New Covenant.

One being 1 Corinthians 6:11, "Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified..."

Paul wrote in Ephesians 3:17-20, "so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us."

Paul tells us in Romans 6:13, "and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousnes to God."

This is an indentity crisis for many. God tells us we are no longer sinners. We have been given a new, pure heart. We have been made a new creation. The old self has died. We are holy-sanctified. We are righteous. We are seated at the right hand of the Father. This was all finished 2000 years ago. We can not be all these things and be a sinner. Now does a saint ever sin? yes. It is part of the transformation process of realizing who we really are. The mind is being renewed to catch up to the reality of who we already are. When we focus on Jesus and walk in the Spirit, we don't sin. When we take our focus off of Jesus and walk in the flesh, we sin in our self-efforts. It does not change our identity. Again, we did nothing to become who we are and we can do nothing to change who we are. Our sainthood is permanent because Jesus is permanent. Amen! :-)

Now you may be asking, why dont people act like saints? Why are so many people out there setting bad examples? I am certainly not here to judge anyone as we all have our stumbling blocks. The reason can be simple. The focus is self-conscious vs. Christ-conscious. When we focus on the flesh (self-efforts), life is difficult and we stumble. When we focus on Christ, life is easy and we live out of the abundance of the finished work of Christ. Christ is our reality. Anything else is like the Matrix (great movie by the way). When we enter into His rest, the works of the Spirit naturally pour out of us. This is when the fruits of who we actually are become seen. These are the fruits of the Spirit not fruits of the flesh. Huge difference here! :-) The behavior starts to match up with the reality as the transformation process renews the mind.

There are several verses advising us to remain focused on Christ (Christ-conscious).

2 Corinthians 10:5, "We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ."

Capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ. :-)

Colossians 3:2, "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

Romans 12:2, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."

Imagine a child growing up being told they are beautiful every day and feeling beautiful and loved every day. Now, imagine that same child growing up being told they are ugly every day and feeling unloved every day. There are going to be different behaviors associated with these two examples. It is the same with the sinner vs. saint concept. Make sense? Imagine waking up every day knowing you are a saint compared to thinking you are a sinner. It changes your mindset automatically if it is truly believed. This is a huge one for seeing the grace of God. It is finished. There is nothing for us to ‘do’ except live out the reality of who we are in Him. Rest from our works (self-efforts) and let the works of the Spirit flow through the temple of the Holy Spirit. God does not live in a dirty house. He lives inside us! You, yes YOU are a saint. As believers we are saints! The sooner this reality is believed and accepted as truth, the sooner the renewal process will begin and the Holy Spirit will take care of the rest. Amen! :-) Thank you, Jesus!
