WHO ARE YOU?

Who are you?

This is the time of the year of a babe born in a manger, Christ the Lord. (actually just when we celebrate, not the actual date)

Have you apprehended a knowing that you are also a babe?

You are a 3 dimensional being having been born into a body, into the manger of humanity.

You are wrapped, like a gift, in the swaddling clothing of flesh and blood. And oh what a gift you are!

You are an immortal being making himself subject to death, and picking up the cross dies daily. But you are so much more!!

It is time to awaken oh sleeper! Remember who you are!

You have no bounds and the grave clothes of mortality cannot keep you in restriction. Wake up and set them aside.

Who you are:

What Jesus of Nazareth was to the Father, you are to Him. He was the visible manifestation of the invisible God, the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9).

You are His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20) and representatives on earth, and His Body (1 Corinthians 12:27), the fullness of Him that fills all in all (Ephesians 1:23).

He was the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16).

You are the Lord's christ (little christ) (Revelation 11:15), and as overcomers you are His sons (Revelation 21:7).

He came to do the will of His Father, and to manifest the life of God.

You are come to do His will, and manifest the life of Christ (Galatians 2:20).

In His deity, He is equal with God. In His HUMANITY,

You are brought to equality with him, called "his brethren," (Romans 8:29, Hebrews 2:11), and made joint-heirs of all that he receives by inheritance (Romans 8:17).

As He is so are you: 1 John 4:17

So celebrate the newness of life this season.

We are like Mary who birthed Jesus, the Word of God. The Word becomes birthed IN US. We become one with Him. The Holy Ghost intercedes with sighs beyond words as He is delivered. We are brought through the veil and into the New Day.

This great MYSTERY of cosmic proportions continues to unveil before us at this moment. The bells toll, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" A child, a child, sleeping in the night - He will bring us goodness and light. The child is growing up!

We receive LIGHT that reveals the present manifest revealing of the Christ-like (huios, grown up) sons of God.

 The truth is, all of creation is still waiting (Rom. 8:19-22) for this BIRTHING of CHRIST within a people - it is the transfiguration of the Body of Christ.

"For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God." "Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest IN HIS SAINTS." "Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.” Romans 8:19,Col. 1:26,1 Cor. 15:51

YOU ARE AN EPIPHANY

In view of His appearing (epiphany, SHINING FORTH) - (we) preach the gospel (2 Tim. 4:1 MSG). AN EPIPHANY is a sudden and striking awareness (en-LIGHT-ening) of the crucial significance of a truth.

2 Timothy 1:9b-10, "This grace WAS GIVEN US in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has NOW BEEN REVEALED through the APPEARING (the glorious OUTSHINING) of our Savior, who has destroyed death and has (already) brought LIFE and IMMORTALITY to LIGHT through the gospel." We don't have to wait. The light of God is REVEALED TO US, and IN US and THROUGH US - in this ever present NOW.
