Likewise the Lord flashed in my mind Ephesians 1:12-14 and let me know that we are sealed by His Holy Spirit. We are His habitation and the evidence of that purchase is in the blood covenant upon our heart and mind.
Ephesian 1:12-14 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
V13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
V14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Christ in you is the inheritance of God, having purchased you with such a great price. The evidence of the Holy Spirit is the earnest, or down-payment, or you could say, is the first manifestation of the New Life of Christ Jesus…God’s Son in us and working through us. A little at a time we are being transformed, changed, our minds renewed and washed by the Holy Spirit. Little at a time we are pressing into, stepping into the Kingdom of God and finding out what it is like to be a member of God’s Son, as His Body.
We enter in through the veil, which is His flesh that He gave for the life of the world. We behold the Father through the Son. ! Amen. No one can come to the Father except through the Son, and only if the Father draws them. Hallelujah! May you hear even more of what the Father is saying here! Amen.
The Father has sealed you by His own Spirit as a witness to all, that you are His Property. But He takes this beyond just his property…. He adopts you into His family. Then places you in the position with His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. A little at a time He reveals His Son to your soul, and as that happens, you are changed into the same image. (2 Corinthians 3:16-18) Washed in His Word, and cleansed in His Blood, and sanctified by His Holy Spirit.
Titus 3:4-7 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.
God is our witness and record of this transaction.
Having sealed you by His Holy Spirit, and caused witnesses to this record, by Himself: Father, Word, and Holy Ghost in heaven, and in the earth is witnessed by the spirit, water, and blood (the man Jesus/Lamb).
1 John 5: (all) v6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
V7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost and these three are one.
V8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
V9 If receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
V10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
V11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
V12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
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 no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
We have received the Seal of God upon our mind and heart, the Seal that we are become one with His Son Jesus Christ. This cannot be broken. This is set. This cannot change.
God has given us His holy Spirit, the Spirit of His Son…. Jesus Christ. God’s Family and body (church) of the Firstborn. Thank you Father God and Big Brother Jesus!
Amen.
