The Kingdom of God is Preached

Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John......  since that time the kingdom of God is preached and every man presseth in to it.

The law and prophets were up to John’s time, then Christ Jesus came forth and preached the kingdom of God which is righteousness, peace, and joy IN the Holy Ghost. He was establishing the new law which was a working of the Spirit, not the flesh.  The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.  This law makes us free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

The law over all today is different from the law of sin and death. The law of sin and death was a working of the flesh and it was to reveal sin which produced death.

The law today is the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and it is a working of the Spirit to reveal Righteousness and produce Life. This is what the Spirit of Life did through His Son.  It was a working of Faith in the Son to believe the Father...even unto death... for the accomplishment of all righteousness and judgment under the law of sin and death via the last Adam, and the bringing in of the 2nd Man “generation”: Lord from heaven, quickening spirit, the new man that is without sin. Restored back to the Father, yet not with the old “wineskin” but birthed again in a new identity from God: His Son, the eternal Lamb of God. 

Redemption and Reconciliation is only in, by and of the blood and body of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

We reap of the benefits from His work by having faith in God, and in the one that God has sent: Jesus Christ the Lamb of God.  As we have faith and believe in God’s Word of Salvation for us, we walk and behave according to that Spirit of Truth and Life that is now working in us to do that same thing in us: raise us from our own graves of sin and death, and remove from us the carnal spirit of the first man Adam, as the quickening Spirit of the Lord sits upon His throne in each of us as Lord and Savior. 

The working of the Spirit of Life that was in Christ Jesus was successful in raising Him from the grave, death and sin, and is the same Spirit working in us to raise us up successfully out of our grave of sin and death.... TODAY... by being born again.

Jesus began telling people that they must be born again of His Spirit and Water because this was the only way that they could enter His kingdom or even see His kingdom. (John 3:3-8 here water means natural birth, see what Nicodemus said in verse 4, Jesus responded in v5)

Romans 14:17 tells us that the Kingdom of God is not meat nor drink, but is righteousness, peace, and joy In the Holy Ghost.  So if you have received and are sealed of the Holy Ghost (Spirit) then you have the Kingdom of God in you too.... BUT now you must Enter into Righteousness, Peace, and Joy. 

Another way to say this is – Now is the time to be awakened or realize who Jesus Christ is in you. And as you behold Him,... see Him,.... come to the understanding and revelation of who He is abiding In you, then at that moment.... in the twinkling of an eye... you too are changed into the same identity with Him, and are risen and seated with Him who is the Resurrection and Life and Lamb of God: Your Salvation and Savior.

The Holy Ghost in you Is the Father and the Lamb/Son of God ... In the Full Benefit of your Salvation and Victory and Liberty!!

The Holy Spirit is come in you to awaken you, a little at a time, unto this Truth and cause you to See and Enter His Kingdom. (John 14:20-23)

The law and the prophets were until John, since that time the kingdom of God is preached.... and every man presseth into it.  Luke 16:16

Press On In.... to Righteousness Peace and Joy that is in the Holy Ghost... now in you.

Christ Jesus In You is your Hope of Glory.  

Colossians 1:26-27  Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:....

You cannot enter into the Kingdom of God without Jesus.  He is the Way, He is the Truth that we worship the Father by, He is the LIFE of the Father In us – God’s record of the Son revealed and witnessed in our souls by His Holy Spirit (1 John 5:4-15).

The Spirit of Life that was in Christ Jesus was the Father who is speaking LIFE in the hearts of man.  BREATHING LIFE into their souls so that they, who are dead, could hear His voice and come out of their grave.... they were the walking dead, bones dry and dissembled... They were still in their sin. They were separated from LIFE.  A Savior was needed.  Worthy is the Lamb for He was able to Open the Book of Life... for all!

So the Law that is working today is the working of the Spirit that is holy and dwells in the hearts of those that have received the Witness of the Father of His Son.  He is ruling over all.  He has established Grace, with correction if needed, to abound towards our unrighteousness, and declare the Righteousness of the Son to be our sufficiency to make us free and eternally joined to the Father, yet only through the Son.  The Lamb of God is alive forever more, and His Blood is sufficient to establish us holy in God’s eyes.... justified...unblameable... innocent!  Hallelujah!!!

ONLY through and by the Spirit of Life that is in Christ Jesus can any be born of and have any hope of entering into an inheritance that is exceeding abundantly above all that we could ask or think of with the Father in His Kingdom.

Thank you Father for removing from us the spirit of the carnal man, and establishing in us the Spirit of Life that is in Jesus Christ... the anchor and hope of our souls.

When the Father speaks of the Son within our souls, it is eternal Life being breathed in to us... Reviving Us in the Resurrection and Life.

Receive the Son and Enter into His Kingdom. (John 3:3-5; Ephesians 5:26-27; 1 Peter 1:22-23)

Amen.

Born of God Cannot Sin

If you are born of God, you cannot sin.  You can be corrected for things that you do which are out of the carnal mind and not from the Holy Spirit,... but you cannot sin.  Yes, you can be disobedient, make a mistake, misunderstand, and be carnal, etc.. and yes babes in Christ are carnal minded because they have not completed the renewing process and are not experienced nor matured, yet Christ Jesus has already anchored them in His Salvation and Love. But, once you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, you cannot be separated from God anymore.  You have hit the mark of Righteousness because of Christ Jesus in your soul.  A New Law is working in you and with new rules. Jesus Christ is the new Priest and King overall. He has anchored you.

Now He wants us to continue our journey out of death and sin, and into our place in Him, which He has prepared for us.  Eating and Drinking of Him along the way. Christ Jesus is come in you without sin for your salvation.  He has Anchored you in Victory and Liberty from sin because of His Blood that is declaring His Righteousness in you, throughout the journey.  This is the journey of your mind being renewed by the Holy Spirit and in the washing of the regeneration (rebirth) (Titus 3:4-5-7).

Titus 3:4-7
v4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
v5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
v6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
v7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

This Hope is not a “maybe” thing, but rather this Hope is our confidence of a sure thing – God’s Word – Jesus Christ, now in you.  Your Assurance and Confidence working in you as you continue your journey and allow Him to wash and cleanse and release you a little at a time into His Life: freed from the past effects of sin and death.

If the Lamb of God has removed your sin, and if the Lamb of God has removed and destroyed the one that produced sin and worked sin from your soul, then you cannot sin, because Christ Jesus is the Spirit of Life that is working and ruling in you, and has established His Righteousness in you on your behalf... so Sin has no dominion in you anymore.  The old law is fulfilled in Christ Jesus, so Sin is removed, and now in the New Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, Grace speaks forth.

So, during the process of being birthed of His Spirit and growing up into the Head, which is Christ Jesus, you mess up, then Grace abounds so that you can come to the Father to receive mercy and allow the Eternal Forgiveness to continue to work in you and give you Strength to stand up and try again to “Walk” ...in and by His Holy Spirit.  You are now Learning obedience and abiding in and walking in His Holy Presence, which has now apprehended you for this very thing.  As the Father was in Jesus and raised Him from the grave of death and sin, Now In You...to do this very same thing.  Guaranteed...Giving you a New Life that is His Life, shared in His Glory! (John 17:22-24)

John 17:22-24
v22 And the glory which though gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
v23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
v24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Colossians 1:26-27
v27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: ...

Galatians 2:20-21
v20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
v21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

In Christ Jesus, the Lamb of God, sin has been removed out of the way and is no longer part of the new order or law that is now working in you... This is true for all that are abiding in Christ Jesus and His word is abiding in them.  Now where sin once was, Grace abounds.  Where death once was, Life eternal abounds. All due to the Blood that is declaring the Righteousness of Jesus Christ now eternally working in your soul. 

A New Law has been established. And it is established on Better Promises and Blood Covenant!  A New Administration of Glory is revealed... not of the letter and law of sin and death or working of the flesh, but rather a Glory that exceeds the old. A working of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.  This working of God through His Son is a working of FAITH, and anything not of faith Is Sin. 

So if you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior and you are sealed with His Spirit of Life then sin can no longer work in you.  Jesus Christ has removed sin and death and is healing us all of its affects.  Sin is remembered no more for all that have received God’s Lamb and Son Jesus Christ.  (Hebrews 10:9-10, 12-18, 19-31).

Sure, you may step out of line and do something you know is not right, but you will be corrected for unrighteousness, even under Grace. Yet those in Christ, the blood covenant reveals mercy to our unrighteousness, not condemnation (Hebrews 12:5-11; Hebrews 8:12). 

Hebrews 8:12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

But that is not a reason to behave unrighteously... our Father Will correct.  He will burn that mindset right out of the way.  Besides, those that love the Father do not try to go against him. 

Yet, if there is a stronghold causing you problems, then GOD will and can Correct it and Remove it from you, if that is what you need.  But He knows your makeup and He is there to wash you and release you from the spirit or spirits that are causing you this problem of rebellion. That is what the Holy Spirit reveals for us in Hebrews 10:26-27.  If during your process of being washed and cleansed (as is revealed in Ephesians 5:26-27), you find yourself as “two members warring within yourselves” as Paul speaks of in Romans 7, then our Father who is a consuming fire WILL burn it out of you so that His house or dwelling place, which you are, will be filled with His Glory and be white as snow.  And there will be no more war in you. Now this is speaking to those that truly have a stronghold.

Many just need to Stop doing what they are doing. That simple. Just stop it. The Lord’s forgiveness is eternally working and it is there for you. Just stop allowing and giving in to those temptations. Ask the Lord to show you the escape and ask Him to keep you from temptation too.  Talk with God your Savior.  Peace will abound in the Power and Righteousness of Christ Jesus now working in you to bring you completely birthed of His Holy Spirit and matured and joined unto the Head of the Church and Body of Jesus Christ.  Harmony with the Head will flow from All Members.

So being born again is a process from faith to faith and glory to glory. And as we are being washed and healed of sin and its decay, we are given a New Robe to wear: Garment of Salvation, Robe of Righteousness of the Lamb of God.  This is our Eternal Sacrifice that we are clothed in. No nakedness is seen. No shame or guilt is there. We are changed into HIS SAME presence, for It Is Him that dwells within us and is swallowing up our mortality in and by His Life and Glory (Phil 3:21; 2 Cor 3:16-18; Romans 6:18; 2 Cor 5:1-5, 14-21; and many, many other scriptures). Hallelujah!!!

Romans 5:20-21 ...But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
v21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

This is what the New Law is declaring in you... now that you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior and have been sealed with that Holy Spirit.  No longer is the law of sin and death working in you.  Now the New Law that is the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus is working in you! 

This New Law declares the Righteousness of the Blood of Jesus Christ on your behalf, and anchors you, and assures that you will enter into communion with the Father in the Glory of the Son.

But where did this sin come from?
Let’s look at the scripture in 1 John 3:8-9
1 John 3:8-9
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning....

Sin is the fruit of the devil.  Sin separates us from God.  Adam sinned and God cursed both male and female. Since Adam was given authority over all things, all have fallen in sin because of his disobedience.  So in their disobedience they had submitted not to God, but to the spirit called the devil which always works sin and causes others to do the same. 

This was the age that the devil/satan was given reign in the earth.  Adam, God’s created one, was given authority in the land but because “they” failed the time of temptation, this caused all creation to fall under that failure and decay of disobedience. 

The first Adam failed the temptation, but the last Adam, who is Jesus Christ, OVERCAME the time of temptation during that wilderness experience that lasted 40 days.  Now because of His OBEDIENCE to God, including Him having OVERCAME the devil/satan and its temptations... We Reap Of His Glory!!!

Now Jesus Christ is OUR VICTORY AND OVERCOMER IN ALL SITUATIONS.

So, daily Submit to God, acknowledging the Son, the Lamb and His Blood. Acknowledge the Lord daily and Give Thanks for all that He has done for us!!!  We have overcome all things by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of His testament as our testimony.  This is our right of inheritance with Christ the Overcomer.

So whoever has not received Jesus Christ as the Son and Lamb of God, they are still in sin, and judged as the devil is judged. Which judgment is of God and has already thrown the devil/satan in the lake of fire and brimstone forever and ever. As John 3:18 tells us that ... He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And in John 12:31 which tells us that the judgment of that world was then, and the prince of the world was cast out...

John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

Let’s finish looking at the rest of 1 John 3:8-9...
...For this purpose.... the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

So now we see that Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil and in Hebrews 2:14 destroy the one that had the power of death, which was the devil. 

Hebrews 2:14
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Jesus Christ has overcome all things and has been given the keys to death and hell.  And all those that were in those places have been given up to God and were judged already.  Now death is destroyed and hell, the devil Satan and false prophet have been judged and are eternally dwelling in God’s lake of fire and brimstone.... Thanks to the Victory of Jesus Christ!!! (Rev 20:10-15 * 10,14) Hallelujah!

Revelation 20:10, 14-15 (Read 10-15 for full understanding)
v10 And the devil that deceived them was cast in to the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
v14-15 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Now there is the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. This is God’s property for His purpose.  He is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29).  Hell and death have been thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone thanks to the victory of Jesus Christ.

And this is why if you are born of God, then you are no longer a child of the devil that always sins, but you have been bought with the Blood of the Lamb and are sealed with that Holy Spirit of Promise, and have received the Spirit of the Son and cry Abba Father: a Child of God.  You have the Father’s Spirit in you now.

John 14:20-24
v20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you....
v21...he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
v23...If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him...

For the Father himself loved you ... your soul soooo much that He sent His only begotten Son to redeem you from the power of darkness and is washing and cleansing you and setting you in heavenly places within Himself.  And so many more Blessings and Benefits!!!!

Continue to allow Him to cause you to Enter into His Kingdom that is Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17), now in you.

The Holy Spirit is the Lord (1 Corinthians 3:17) who is cutting away that old carnal un-regenerated spirit from your mind, and is establishing the mind of Christ in you.

The Lord is washing you and cleansing you in His Word of Salvation, Jesus Christ. Our Savior is causing you to See and Enter His Kingdom and causing you to sit in the place He has prepared for you, in Himself. Transforming...Changing you into the same image of the Son, not separate from Him, but joined to Him by His Blood that declares His Righteousness.  It is no longer you but it is the Risen Lord! and you are joined to Him as One Mind and One Spirit that is holy.

Galatians 4:1-7
v5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. v6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying , Abba, Father. v7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Wow! The Spirit of the Son is now the Spirit of your mind, soul and body.  No more is the devil the problem because the Blood of the Lamb and His Testament which is our Testimony have taken care of this.  A New Spirit He has given you... the Spirit of the Son....who cannot sin.

Yet, please understand... that even though your journey has begun with Christ Jesus, remember He is revealing Himself to you and causing you to grow up into the things of Him and His Kingdom, a little at a time... from faith to faith you walk in Him... from glory to glory He is revealed in you. In that revealing you too are changed, birthed forth of His holy Spirit, and in His holy Glory as one with the Son who cannot sin.

One Body, One Spirit, Continue in One Hope of Glory... Christ In You (Colossians 1:27) Walking in Harmony. No more war. You can Rest.

1 John 3:8-9...
v9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed (Word/Spirit/Life)
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Praise You Abba Father!! And Thank you for our Eternal Forgiveness in the Blood of the Lamb!!!

Amen.

God Over All

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

The kingdoms of this world have already been given over to the Lord!  Hear this present day truth and walk in it!!  The Victory through the Lamb has already been accomplished.  Awaken Unto This Righteousness and Glory and Power! 

Revelation 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

It is Done.  Jesus Christ, God’s Word (Will) for us and Eternal Sacrifice that sanctifies us eternally, has accomplished the opening of the Book of Life for ALL People and Creature to reap of.  His Judgment went forth as the seals were opened. In the seventh seal and seventh trumpet the mystery of God will be finished, and it was accomplished! (Revelation 10:7; Revelation 11:15 see above; Revelation12:10)  Oh Hallelujah!

Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

Just Receive and Believe in the Saviour that is our Lord Jesus Christ. Worthy is the Lamb! Thank you!

All kingdoms are given over to the Winner of the Battle.  The Lamb of God is Worthy!  He has accomplished the Victory of this battle and the angels have already gone forth in the cleaning up of the kingdom of God, clearing out all unrighteousness, and the establishing of the New Heaven and Earth.  Now from age to age the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached and every man presses in to the Kingdom of God.  Oh Hallelujah!!! 

Now enter in and walk in the Kingdom of God. (Roman 14:17; Luke 17:20-21; Luke 16:16; John 3:3-5; Ephesians 5:26-27; 1 Peter 1:22-23)   He is ruling and reigning through His Spirit in His Body in heaven and in earth (Ephesians 3:21; Ephesians 1:22-23). 

Grace is abounding, Righteousness is Ruling, and Eternal Life is Abundant!

Colossians 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins:...

God: Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God as King and Priest and Mediator over all.  Done. Finished.

Amen.

Taking on a New Identity

Ephesians 5:26-27 
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, v27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

And you can’t get rid of the old carnal identity on your own. God must do this. And He does this through the PROCESS of Being Born Again. 

Through this Process you are washed, cleansed, sanctified and received up into His Glory and Identity – CoHeirs with Christ Jesus.

This is a Process of His Holy Spirit apprehending you so that you may grab a hold of Him.  You begin to see and understand who Jesus Christ is and why He is come, and is now come in your heart/spirit/soul.

The WASHING of the WATER by the WORD which is Jesus Christ...God’s Word that was manifested in the flesh as our Lamb of God that took away all sin, and redeemed us from death, and caused us to be with Him where He is.

Ephesians 2:4-7
v5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) v6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: v7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

John 3:3-5,6-8 v3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
v5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
v7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

.....By His Spirit that is Holy.  By this holy Spirit, God himself is washing us in His Word of Salvation which is Jesus Christ. 

The Spirit of the Prophet Elijah came to prepare them to receive their Messiah.  He washed them in literal water for the repentance of their sins.  The Lord was coming and those that repented would receive Him. John the Baptist came forth in the Spirit of the Elijah the Prophet to be the witness of Jesus Christ coming forth as The Eternal Lamb of God Sacrifice. And so much more could be said in this, but after John the Baptist had revealed to that generation the Lamb of God that was to take away their sin, John decreased and The Word of God came forth to take His place as the Prophet and Priest of God to prepare His people.

Jesus became that Voice that began washing them In God’s Word... John 15:3 (Jesus says) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Ephesians 5:26-27
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

So He is today, as that Holy Spirit of God, the promise of God which we received when we Heard the gospel of Jesus Christ preached and Faith came alive and caused us to receive Him, who is the first of this New Identity: God’s Witness of His Son, who is the Holy Spirit of God. 

He sealed us and began to write upon our hearts and put in our minds this new Blood Covenant of the Lamb, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 8:10).  A Covenant of the Spirit, written in our hearts and minds by the Spirit, and not by the letter.

And as He is revealing the Son to us, we are going through His Process of Washing and Cleansing us in His Word and His Blood: in the Water and Spirit of God through Jesus Christ our Savior and Salvation from God.  Jesus Christ is appearing to us, and being made known to us.... yet by His Holy Spirit.

So we are Receiving the High Calling of God... the Inheritance of His first born Son... Co-heirs of God... (Philippians 3:14).  Becoming sons of God in the image of the SON, now having been joined to the head which is Christ Jesus.  (Romans 1:16; John 1:12; 2 Corinthians 3:16-18; Ephesians 4:15....and more)

Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. v17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith....

John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: v13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God, v15 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,....

So to be Born Again is the Process to cause you to be God’s son... One with and In The Son: placed (adoption) in the Son... in that place He has Prepared for you (John 14:1-3; Galatians 4:1-7)

Galatians 4:5-7
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. v6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. v7 Wherefore thou art not more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

John 14:2-3
v2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. v3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Now reread the first scripture at the beginning of this revelation: Ephesians 5:26-27...That he might present it to himself a glorious church....(church which you are – God’s temple/dwelling place). ...receiving you to himself. Wow! Awesome! In Him Is Your Victory!

From Faith to Faith, Glory to Glory, Victory to Victory.... a little at a time our Father prepares you by this Process so that you are being awakened unto His Righteousness a little at a time.... You are Seeing His Son and being changed/transformed into the image of the Son which is the church, His Body....

Ohhh, so much to See and understand yet only by His Holy Spirit can you even begin to Enter In to this present truth in Christ Jesus.

Receiving His holy Spirit seals you in this Process, and is the first of His Life revealed.  Then as the Holy Spirit begins to speak in you and guide you into more TRUTH which IS JESUS CHRIST, you begin to see clearer and more of God’s awesome Kingdom and Lamb of God... a little at a time you are awakening, and the grave clothes of death and sin are falling away.!.

NOW the NEW IDENTITY is Being Revealed as the New Mind that is Christ... is coming forth.  The Head of the Body is Christ Jesus.  A little at a time the old is falling away as you are being shown His Glory, as His Presence is the Power changing You into the same image, yet it is by the Spirit of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

Now the Lord has sent His Gifts and Administration to get this Process accomplished, yet so by the Holy Spirit in them towards other. (1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4:1-16)

Ephesians 4:1-16 v11-16  v11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; v12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: v13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: v14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; v15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: v16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

And as all that you are is Subdued to Christ, then you too are subdued to the Father. Then as the Father sent Jesus, so He sends you out to help more come into their Inheritance of God in Christ Jesus.!. (Galatians 2:20; Galatians 4:19; 1 Cor 15:22-28,...and more)

Amen.

Fullness of Time

So, since you can see and know that in the fullness of time Jesus did already come for that purpose, then you can see and understand that the fullness of time is fulfilled.
 
Let's look at another scripture...
 
Ephesians 1:9-12 *v10
v10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him...
 
Again if you read the full passage of scripture you will notice that in Christ Jesus the fullness of time of that dispensation is accomplished.  And the New dispensation (Administration) is come.  Faith in God through the work of Christ Jesus, and not of ourselves...
 
...The Administration of the Spirit, working in you the works of Jesus Christ, to subdue even YOU in This Age unto the Father as holy and blameless, purified and clothed in the Glory of the His Son.  Made Perfect.
 
Now let’s look at words that Jesus wrote concerning the fact and truth that Then was the fullness of time for all the law and prophets to be fulfilled:
 
Luke 24:44
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
 
 
Mark 1:14-15
v14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, v15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
 
Now since Jesus said the “time is fulfilled” not just once has he said, but atleast twice it is noted in scriptures of Jesus saying the time is fulfilled, then so it is to know that He Has Fulfilled All the Prophets and Law and Psalms concerning Him.
 
It was done in that generation as Jesus said it would be done (Matthew 23:36; 24:34)
 
Now what?  Now press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).  Press in to the Kingdom of God... through, of, and by the Son/Lamb of God.
 
Luke 16:16
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (Romans 14:17; John 3:3-5; Luke 17:20-21; 1 Peter 1:22-23; Ephesians 5:26-27)
 
Press on....  Time is fulfilled... It is time for you to Enter In...
 
Behold the Lamb of God...!
 
Amen.

Regeneration of the Dispensation

Birthing of the New World and Order was happening back then.  Jesus said that in the “regeneration” they would judge.  The regeneration means rebirth.  He was talking of the rebirth of that dispensation.

Matthew 19:28
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

The Regeneration (rebirth) was to take place when Jesus Christ was to fulfill the law and prophets and psalms concerning Him and then ascend to the Father in His Glory and sit as King upon that throne.

John 16:20-22
Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. v21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

Jesus was talking of himself going to the cross and that they would be sorrowful for Him, but that would then change to joy, for He will rise again.  It was like childbirth.  Jesus was to endure the pains of the birthing of the fulfillment of the old, and bringing forth of the new order...a birthing, a regeneration from the old to the new was taking place.

The New Law is the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.
The New Priest and King is After the order of Melchesdec, after the power of an endless life.
Melchesdec was King and Priest of God.
The New Covenant and Sacrifice is The Blood of the Lamb of God. Grace replaced sin. Life replaced death. Righteousness and Innocence replaced rebellion and guilt.

It was going to happen during that generation.... and it did. Oh Hallelujah! Thank you Father.  That whole world (age) was about to be changed.  In the twinkling of an eye, and it was done.

Revelation 21:5
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

v6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Now when you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, your old world stops and the new order/world begins, and to be revealed to you and for you to walk in... changed... transformed.  The New King and Priest, that Holy Spirit is now ruling and reigning in your Soul.

The Rebirth of the Dispensation took place in that generation, for all generations to reap of (Ephesians 3:21 and many other confirmations in scriptures).

The new life in Christ Jesus is now.

Amen.

Father, I Will Your Will

Jesus knew His Father and knew the Father’s will, yet enduring the cross was something He wasn’t thrilled about enduring, but He knew the purpose and plan of the Father.  He loved the Father and would do anything for Him.  Their relationship was perfect love... and more… well beyond what any of us have comprehended yet. But the love that the Father has revealed to us thus far completes us.

Jesus requested another option before going to the cross....look at Matthew 26:36-46.

Matthew 26:36-46
v36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
v37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
v38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
v39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
v40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
v41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
v42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
v43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
v44 and he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
v45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
v46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

It wasn’t an option of being obedient or not. It was a request for the direction to change... but He was willing to work the Father’s perfect plan.  He was willing to endure the Father’s punishment towards us for sin, having done no wrong in the Father’s eyes.  Enduring it for us, so that we could be at peace with the Father and receive His love, just like the relationship between Jesus and the Father. (John 17)

John 10:17-18
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

He was given of the Father the power to lay down His life and/or take it up... That Power was in His hands to work.  All heaven and earth could not take that authority and power from Him. Yet He did not abuse or misuse that power and authority. 

He took our blows of the Father’s wrath.... OUCH! But Thank You Lord and Savior!  He became separated from the Father for just a moment in time. How do I know that?  Because sin separates us from the Father.  For a moment that was long enough to settle the debt, Jesus Endured Our Pain of Sin and experienced our judgment of Sin which is Death, so to join with us in our death and sin and RAISE US UP IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, INNOCENCE and LIFE.  Not only is our debt paid, but He gave us NEW LIFE to live: Co-Heirs of God.

This is Awesome! Yet take this a step further and look at this a little more: that Jesus was without sin, so the Father was able to receive Him as our payment of sin. He acted out in Love and took on the sin of the world by laying down His life as one that sinned: guilty. The innocence of Jesus’ soul was the innocence of the life of the Lamb that was without spot and blame that would shed its blood and life for man’s soul.  And since Jesus was without sin, the Father could raise Him up justified to life again.!!!  He is Worthy to Open the Book of Life for us all!!!

The Eternal Sacrifice.  His BLOOD WASHES US and clothes us in the garments of the Lamb of God.  When you Receive the Lamb of God, He washes you in His Blood, clothing you in His Righteousness and Innocence again.  Restoration it is called.  Redemption. Reconciliation. Whatever word you find that describes this for you, the “LAMB of GOD” and the “BLOOD COVENANT” says it all.

We can never come to the Father but by the Blood of the Lamb.
We can never come to the Father except through the Son of God that lives, was dead, and is alive for evermore.
We can never come to the Father unless that Blood is upon our conscience and speaks FOR US on our behalf.

Hebrews 9:13-15 v14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

And by that same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead working in each of us, to do the self same thing, today.  (2 Cor 4:14; 2 Cor 5:1-5; Romans 8:9-11)

Romans 8:9-11
v11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Only by the Spirit of the Lord can we be Resurrected: Raised to Life again – A Recovery of Spiritual Truth. Only by the Lamb of God and that Blood Covenant can we have Peace and be Co-Heirs with God!  Because of This Testament and Spirit upon our conscience, we have New Life.

Jesus’ prayer shows us that it was okay for Him to request a change in the direction the Father had set Him on before the cross, but He knew the will and purpose of the Father and that is what He wanted to do.  And He trusted the Father’s heart in this plan.  He knew that if this was the only way to get this job done, so be it....not my will but yours Father, be done. 

Thank you Father!  For Your Will being Done!

Amen.

God's Leadership

Control is not leadership.
Arrogance is not leadership.

Seeing God’s purpose in another, and working God’s Plan and Will towards them to achieve it...
This is God’s Leadership.
God’s Leadership
* Vision
* Mind

This is God’s Eyes and Horns that are noted as the seven Spirits before God’s throne that belong to the Lamb of God.  God’s Authority and Power is given to the Lamb of God who is worthy to have obtained. (Rev 5)

Some use money or natural wealth as a tool to control others. And those that have not allow them to control them because of the monies.  Both are wrong. 

Monies are Not to be used to control others. Nor should the lack of it seduce those that are without to connect with the rich of the world.

Rather we all should be yielded to the Lord our Father FIRST, seeking His direction for the need at hand:  whether you are materially or monetarily rich or poor.  The monies are only a tool for God to use in this land. Only a tool for God to use when necessary and at His will. 

Don’t allow the lack of or the abundance of material or monetary substance become your God. This is an idol and must be removed.

God’s leaders will know this.  They will have the Holy Spirit trained mind to walk in concerning this and all affairs of this realm and the heavenly realms.  The Father will be in charge of their every move. He will have conditioned them, renewed their minds by His Holy Spirit in their inner man.

God’s leadership doesn’t have a “greater than thou” attitude, but rather is meek and lowly in heart so that you may find the rest and safety of the Lord for your soul. (Matthew 11:28-30)

Mark 9:33-35
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? v34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. v35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

The Mind of God which is the Mind of Christ Jesus abiding and working in you... that Holy Spirit who is the Lord is ruling and reigning in you, and through you to the world.  You are become the Light of the world ONLY because He, the Leader and Head of the Body, is abiding In you.

2 Corinthians 3:16-17 v17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (John 16:7-16)

The Lord is that Spirit... THIS is Him, Who is our Leader.  This is the one and only we are to follow. Our life is now hid in Him. He is the Light and Life that now shines through us. His Righteousness Revealed.

Galatians 2:20-21 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

And if This One causes our members (male or female) to be soooo yielded to Him, and causes these members to lay down their life, so that the Lord may live through them for the revealing of HIMSELF to this age.... Then let the world bow down and listen to the Lord who is ruling and reigning through His Body.

So as Ephesians 1:22-23 is revealed and Ephesians 4:1-7 instructs below, let us yield to our blessed Savior and Father as He who is the Head is revealed and joined to His body and temple that we are.

Ephesians 1:22-23
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 4:1-7
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, v2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 

v3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. v4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; v5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, v6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. v7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Matthew 11:28-30
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

A true leader is as Jesus is, meek and lowly in heart so others can find rest in the Lord.

Amen.
