SAME RESURRECTION POWER

Resurrection Day Victory Proclamation

He is risen! The dead ones are risen! We are risen, indeed!

Matthew affirms this 1st-century reality that the long-promised resurrection of the dead was underway when Jesus and “the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs . . . .” (Matt. 27:51-53).

Paul confirms it numerous times using a plural noun properly translated – “dead ones” and “dead persons” (Acts 17:32; 23:6; 24:21; 26:23; 1 Cor. 15:12, 13, 15, 16).

And more resurrection was soon “to be about to be” (Acts 24:15) on the “last day” (singular – John 6:39, 40, 44, 54; 11:24) of the “last days” (plural – Heb. 1:2)!

Therefore, is it possible that resurrection in Christ is a lot greater and more relevant reality than most Christians have been led to believe?

Spiritual Resurrection

Paul declared, "I am (have been) crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives 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" (Gal. 2:20). 

The preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God (1 Cor. 1:17-18). The apostle wrote to the Galatians, "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world" (Gal. 6:14). Our old man has been crucified with Him; we have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts (Rom. 6:6; Gal. 5:24).

That same resurrection power dwells in you!

(Rom 8:11)  But if the Spirit of the One who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the One who raised up Christ from the dead shall also make your mortal bodies alive by His Spirit who dwells in you.

(Eph 1:20)  which He worked in Christ in raising Him from the dead, and He seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies,

(Eph 2:6)  and has raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,

RESURRECTION DAY

RESURRECTION DAY (Everyday is Resurrection Day)

The word Easter appears once in the King James version of the Bible. Herod has put Peter in prison,  "intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people" (Acts 12:4). Yet in the original Greek text the word is not Easter, but Pesach, that is Passover. So why was the name changed?

"Asherah" the Greek form of this word from the Septuagint is "Astarte", who is the Babylonian goddess of the sea, sea being symbolic of people, and consort of the god El. She was the mother of several gods, including Baal, the Babylonian god of the sun. These deities were soon adopted by the Canaanites when they named these female deities the Ashereh or Asherim. During a celebration of this god, the children of the Canaanite parents would often go and hunt for eggs, which were symbolic of sex, fertility and new life. It was believed that these eggs came from rabbits, which in the pagan world were symbolic of lust, sexual prowess and reproduction. The Canaanites, however, were not the only ones who worshipped rabbits as deities. Decorating eggs came about to honor their pagan gods and were often presented as gifts to other families to bring them fertility and sexual success during the coming year.

Out of this practice came many other variations of these pagan festivals until the Roman Catholic Church adopted the Asherah worship and named it EASTER around 155 A.D. According to the CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA, Easter was named after a pagan goddess of the Anglo-Saxons named Eostre, the goddess of the dawn.  A great controversy arose between the Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church in 325 A.D. on whether to celebrate Easter on Sundays or on whatever day the Jewish Passover fell upon. Unfortunately, the Greeks lost a lot of followers and the Catholics contended that keeping Easter on Sundays would stimulate the practices of both the Christian world and the pagan worshippers.  Hence, since the original practice of Asherah worship we now have in our time the celebration of Easter, a world system holiday to the true festival of the Passover which was instituted in the Bible and completed in the New Testament when Christ died on the cross as our Passover Lamb. The true celebration should be the Resurrection and the Life John 3:36.

...For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. (I Cor 5:7)

I prefer to say Resurrection Day which for a believer is everyday. Resurrection is a person (Jesus Christ) and He lives in you.

(Rom 8:11)  But if the Spirit of the One who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the One who raised up Christ from the dead shall also make your mortal bodies alive by His Spirit who dwells in you.

*  WHY WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED ON A CROSS?

A CROSS MEANS-- Death to self, self-denial

KEY SCRIPTURES: Deut. 21:22-23; Matt. 16:24; 27:22-26; Rom. 6:6; Gal. 2:20; 3:13-14; 5:24; 6:14.
FOUNDATIONAL INFORMATION: Jesus was crucified on a tree- the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (self) He carried the cross piece through the streets. A cross was an upright wooden stake or post on which Jesus was executed, displayed as a criminal and enemy of the state. "Cross" is from the Greek "stauros" (Strong's #4716) which means "a stake or post (as set upright), (specifically) a pole or cross (as an instrument of capital punishment); figuratively, exposure to death, self-denial; by implication, the atonement of Christ." The verb "stauroo" means "to impale on the cross; figuratively, to extinguish (subdue) passion or selfishness; metaphorically, the putting off of the flesh with its passions and lusts."

Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross/tree at Calvary for the sin of the world (Matt. 27:22-26; Jn. 1:29). He died not for us, but AS US. His cross was carried by Simon of Cyrene (Matt. 27:32; Mk. 15:21; Lk. 23:26). Jesus said to his disciples, "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me" (Matt. 10:38; 16:24; Lk. 14:27). Jesus, making peace by His blood, reconciled both Jew and Greek unto God in one Body by the cross (Eph. 2:11-16; Col. 1:20). There were three men crucified: the Man on the middle cross was God in the flesh; the thief on the right who repented and was remembered (put back together) was Adam in the flesh (Lk. 23:42); the thief on the right who returned to be crucified was satan in the flesh (see Lk. 4:3, 9, 13; 23:39; Col. 2:15). Satan is not the thief of John 10:10 anymore. Jesus' death on the cross overcame the old man and the devil (Eph. 4:22-27; Heb. 2;14-18; 1 Jn. 3:8). Jesus the Savior who was crucified has become both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36).

Paul declared, "I am (have been) crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives 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" (Gal. 2:20). The preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God (1 Cor. 1:17-18). The apostle wrote to the Galatians, "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world" (Gal. 6:14). Our old man has been crucified with Him; we have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts (Rom. 6:6; Gal. 5:24).

Good Friday should actually be "Good Wednesday". Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, which was Nisan 14 (Jewish Calendar). The day after Jesus died was a High Sabbath (not a weekly Saturday Sabbath). He died at 3:00pm in the afternoon, the same time as the temple sacrifice. The veil was rent from the Holy of Holies during the sacrifice.

They took him from the cross and put him in the tomb. Christian calendars differ from Jewish calendars. Jewish days begin at sunset at 6pm. "DAWN" is considered sunset. Nisan 14 (Wednesday) at 6pm begins the next day - that's when they put Him in the tomb. This day is the High Sabbath/Unleavened Bread Feast. 72 hours later as they made the First Fruit harvest offering, waving sheaves, Jesus comes forth fulfilling the sign of Jonah (3 days in the belly of the whale). At Firstfruits (dusk) at the close of the Sabbath (Saturday) is when he arose. When he appeared to Mary it was actually evening, not morning. When Jesus arose, people were then at the Temple Mount singing songs of David offering wave offerings - barley sheaves. Jesus fulfilled the Firstfruits Celebration and became the first for us coming forth from the dead (through Christ) and walking in newness of life. Jesus fulfilled Passover (New Birth of Believer), Unleavened Bread (Put off old), and First Fruits (Put on the New).

So we don't celebrate Easter.

Easter, Ishtar, Ashtaroth, is a sex goddess. Pagans worshiped her and the sun. Sun rise worship, Lent, Good Friday, bunnies, eggs, were used in the Roman church to satisfy pagans wanting to join them. Israel forsook Yahweh & did evil, they served Baal & Ashtaroth. (Judges 2:11-13) NO one saw Yahshua rise. After the Sabbath was past, (Sun down) Mary went to the tomb, & was dark by the time she got there (Mark 16:1) Yahshua rose just before the sun set on that Sabbath evening, the most Holy and Sanctified Day of the week. NOT Easter morning, the most satanic day of the year. Yahshua said, "In vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Love of The Father is to keep His Commandments. (1 John 5:2,3)

RESURRECTION DAY IS WHAT WE CELEBRATE!!

ON THE CROSS

On the CROSS:

1. JESUS FINISHED THE TRANSGRESSION (Isa. 43:25; 53:5; Heb. 9:15 with Jn. 19:30)!

A Brief Scriptural Synopsis of the Finished Work of Christ:

* We are already cleansed and perfected by virtue of the finished work! (Hebrews 10:14) "For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified." (Hebrews 10:14 Amplified Bible) "For by a single offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy."

* We are already sanctified by virtue of the blood of the finished work! (Hebrews 13:12) "Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate."

In the past I have always thought of sanctification as a process, however the Word clearly states that I am sanctified by one offering of the blood of Christ. So the process involved is not a process of being sanctified, but rather a process of renewing my mind to the fact that I am already sanctified!

* The work was finished before it even started (in a sense)! (Hebrews 4:3) "...although the works were finished from the foundation of the world." (Revelation 13:8) "..the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

* We must appropriate the finished work by faith! (Hebrews 4:1-3) "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest..."

2. JESUS MADE AN END OF SINS (Matt. 1:21; Heb. 8:12 with Jn. 1:29; Heb. 9:26)!

3. JESUS MADE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY (Rom. 5:10; Eph. 2:16; with 2 Cor. 5:19; Col. 1:19-20)!

4. JESUS BROUGHT IN EVERLASTING REIGHTEOUSNESS because He IS everlasting righteousness (Rom. 10:3,10; 2 Cor. 5:21; Phil. 3:9 with 1 Cor. 1:30; Heb. 7:1-2)!

5. JESUS SEALED UP THE VISION AND THE PROPHECY, to fulfill the law and the prophets, because He IS the vision and the prophecy, or Prophet (see Isa. 29:10-11; Matt. 5:17-20; 11:13; Jn. 5:39; 6:27; 19:28-37; Acts 3:18; 26:17-19 with Hab. 2:3; Heb. 10:37; Matt. 5:17; Acts 3:22; Rev. 19:10)!

6. JESUS ANOINTED THE MOST HOLY because He IS the anointing (Spirit of Christ) and the most holy-the “holy thing” (Lk. 1:35) and the “holy One” (Acts 3:14; 1 Jn. 2:20). He ripped the Veil from the top to the bottom, opening the way into the “holy of holies” (see Psa. 45:7; Isa. 61:1; Lk. 4:16-21; Acts 2:27; 4:27; 10:38 with Jn. 14:6; Rom. 1:4; Heb. 10:14,19-20).

SEED

SEED

There are two hundred and fifty references in the Bible. Beginning with Genesis, then woven as a thread in a garment, being found in almost every book ending with Revelation. There is basically one Hebrew word for seed in the Old Testament and one in the Greek in the New Testament.

The Hebrew word is “zera” (pronounced: zeh-rah) which describes something that is sown, yields, bears, conceives and produces. The Greek word is “sperma” (pronounced: sper-mah) which translates as “the grain or kernel which contains within itself the germ of the future plant. In Genesis God created this earth with “and God said” then He placed seed within much of His creation and declared that what He had created would yield/produce because its “seed was in itself.” (Genesis 1:11-12)

The entire plan of redemption can be summed up in this concept: God saw a need in the earth, so He planted a seed, HIS SON into it and the rest is…WELL…you know the story and the answer.

In the Old Testament, God began with the seed principle and the earth began to produce. In the New Testament, God’s plan was to sow the seed of His Son into the hearts and lives of humanity (if you will allow me…EARTH). Every seed is designed with the DNA to produce after its own kind. The seed of “…Christ in you…” (Colossians 1:27) is a master blueprint to produce His GLORY in/and through you to the world.

The Psalmist David proclaimed that “…the earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness thereof…” (Psalms 24:1). Our earth (life) is supposed to be fertile ground where all that God has planted/formed in us can be harvested for His Glory. The only thing holding back the coming of the Lord is that His earth (us) must manifest the precious fruit (James 5:7).

You will bloom where He plants you, you will produce a harvest that will bring Him much glory. Your destiny, your calling, your abundance, everything you are and everything you need is ALREADY in you in seed form. As long as the “…earth remaineth…” (You) the ability for “seedtime and harvest” exists. (Genesis 8:22)

God has already sown into your life all that pertains to life and godliness. You future is contained within you earth, and I can promise you that your future is bright. Let the rains of His Spirit come, let the light of His Word reveal and expose, the seed in you will germinate and His harvest will be produced in/and through you. I guess you could say, “It’s always been a seed thing.”

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence and will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of you or another.

GOD IS LOVE

GOD IS LOVE!!

 (1 John 4:8,16) He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

There is only one True and Living God (Ex.20:2-3) who exists as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that He is worthy of all honor, praise, and glory as the Creator, Sustainer, and Beginning and End of all things (Rev. 4:11; 5:9-10; Isa. 43:1,7,21) Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1,14)

He loves me as He does Jesus.

 (John 17:23) 23 “I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

You have to have a revelation of God’s Love.

Romans 8:39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.NLT

Because He is Love, so am I.

(1Jn 4:17-21)  In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment/crisis, that as He is, so also we are in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love. We love Him because He first loved us. If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For if he does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And we have this commandment from Him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.

I AM LOVE!! We are love!!

Romans 5:8 and God does commend His own love to us, that, in our being still in sin; Christ did die for us;YLT

He who is destitute of love has never had any knowledge of God; because God is love.1 John 4:8 Weymouth

As Jesus is, so are we. Jesus is in the Father, we are in Jesus. We come from the father's bosom/ heart.

Bosom means: The seat of one's inner thoughts, feelings etc.; one's secret feelings; desire. (heart)

In the Greek bosom means a body of running water. (Joh 7:38)  He who believes on Me, as the Scripture has said, "Out of his belly shall flow rivers  (running water) of living water."

God did not create mankind because He was lonely. God was perfect Love in Trinity –God created because He IS Triune Love that always seeks “others” to participate in the love-fest of His Trinitarian Love.

God IS Love, and He cannot cease to be God. He cannot cease to be Love, or to act in Love. He had intimated to the first couple in the garden that He would come back for them – a Messianic promise (3:15). A promise He renewed throughout the old covenant.

Faithful to His promises the God of Love pursued mankind to restore His beloved human beings into His Trinitarian Love.

 “God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son...” (Jn. 3:16). The incarnation of the Son of God as the God-man, the “one mediator between God and man” (I Tim. 2:5), is the singular greatest and miraculous expression of God’s love for mankind. The Son of God assumed humanity ... became flesh ... one of us. The incarnation of Jesus Christ was intended to be the restoration of God’s divine Love-life in all of mankind, as the “life of Jesus is manifested in our mortal flesh” (II Cor. 4:11).

 “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil.” (Jn. 3:17,18).

God loved us. God sought us. “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself” (II Cor. 5:19).

Divine Love-life cannot be earned, merited or purchased. As with physical life which begins with conception and birth, so the metaphor of birth is applied to the reception of the spiritual life of God.

We know Greek dictionaries define 4 kinds of love:

• Eros-means "love, mostly passion." The Modern Greek word "erotas" means "intimate love." Plato refined his own definition: Although eros is initially felt for a person, with contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the beauty within that person.

• Philia-means "affectionate regard, friendship," usually "between equals."It is a dispassionate virtuous love, a concept developed by Aristotle.

• Agape -means "love, charity; the love of God for man and of man for God." Agape is used in ancient texts to denote feelings for one's children and the feelings for a spouse, and it was also used to refer to a love feast.  Agape is used by Christians to express the unconditional love of God for his children.
• Storge-means "love, affection" and "especially of parents and children" It's the common or natural empathy, like that felt by parents for offspring.

However, these are not defined in Scripture.

This spiritual rebirth becomes active again in our spirit is not merely a readjustment of thought processes. It is not a renewal of dedication to be the best we can be. It is not a reorientation of our desires and aspirations. Spiritual regeneration means “to bring into being again spiritually” (darkness to light).” The life of the divine Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is restored and brought into being again within the spirit of a receptive individual, so that they participate again in the drama of God’s Love as God intended when He first created mankind.

This is agape.

(Rom 5:8)  But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

 The love-life that the Christian receives in Jesus Christ is not just a deposit that is only to be fully experienced in heaven someday. It is the fallacy of religion that projects the fulfillment of the love relationship to the future. The life of the risen Lord Jesus is to be lived out in our behavior on earth, exhibiting the love relationship that we have with our Savior.

God, that the Triune God (Elohim), has come to express His love-life in us. “Do you not recognize that Jesus Christ is in you? (II Cor. 13:5). “This is the mystery...Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:26,27). Having become a “new creature” (II Cor. 5:17), “it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Gal. 2:20).

Love is not just in you. Love is you.

When the love-life of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is expressed in us, and as us, and through us, Love grows in your soulish realm and physical actions from the Love in You; This is the principle:

 “Love fulfills the law” (Rom. 13:8-10; Gal. 5:14).

Perfect Love casts out all fear and covers a multitude of sin.

(1Jn 4:18)  There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love.

(1Pe 4:8)  And above all things have fervent love to yourselves, for love will cover a multitude of sins.

Ephesians 5:1-2 MSG: Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

* LOVE (AGAPE) *

Charity (AGAPE: Strong’s #26) suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.  Charity never faileth (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).

LOVE: 

- Suffers Long - is an unlimited resource

- Is Kind - is impartial

- Envieth not - is above emotions

- Vaunteth not itself - operates in the sufficiency of God

- Is not Puffed up - is above intellect

- Is not Unseemly - gives and does not grab

- Seeketh not her own - glorifies God (is not self centered)

- Is not Easily Provoked - is above circumstances

- Thinketh no evil - values the Good

- Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but Rejoiceth in the Truth - brings and is good news

- Beareth all things, Believeth all things, Hopeth all things, Endures all things - is foundational

- Never fails - is eternal

LOVE IS:  infinite, impartial, in the Spirit, in control, illuminating, instant in season, intent on Him, incorruptible, immortal, ideal, indissoluble, indestructible.

LOVE IS NOT:  partial, prejudiced, petty, pompous, puffed up, pushy, prideful, provoked, polluted, promoting sin, passive, perishable.

LOVE DOES:  bring repentance, remit, receive from Him, reveal the Christ, rest in Him, respect others, reverence God, redeem, resurrect, rejoice, restore, remain.

LOVE DOES NOT:  frustrate, factionalize, fret, flaunt fantasize, fornicate, fight, fester, fear, fabricate fiction, falter, fail.

Tough love is an oxymoron….a contradictory term.

If we express love in an unsentimental way (which is not love at all), we send two messages. I love you but there's a provision. If we are affectionately concerned in a stern way , we are not fully engaged. Tough love is a management mindset. It rules by fear, terms and conditions.

God is LOVE (1 John 4:8,16).

YOU ARE LOVE!!I AM LOVE!!

Ga 5:22-23  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Eph 5:9  (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT VS FRUIT OF THE CARNAL NATURE

Love -                         Lust

Joy-                             Grief/Sorrow

Peace-                       Strife

Longsuffering-           Impatience     (All selfishness)

Kindness-                  Cruelty

Goodness -                Evil

Faithfulness-             Unfaithfulness/Deceitful

Gentleness-               Rash/ Rage

Self-Control-             Anger

Joy is love exalted, peace is love in repose/rest, long-suffering is love enduring, gentleness is love bowing, goodness is love in action, faith is love trusting, meekness is love not fighting , and temperance is love not controlling.

Love is not an emotion; it is your very existence.

Jesus was completely dependent upon the Father. In this expression of humility, obedience and dependence we see the ideal son, since a son is to reproduce his father's thought and action. He does nothing by himself, or more literally, "from himself"; his source of being and activity is not himself but his Father. He cannot act from himself, for to do so would be to exist autonomously from God. 

Christ was in the Father; we are in Christ.

(Gal 2:20)  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.

JESUS I AM’s 

John 15:5 - I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 8:58 - Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

HOW POWERFUL IS I AM?

(John 18:4-6)  Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went out and said to them, Whom do you seek?

They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said to them, I AM! And Judas who betrayed Him also stood with them. Then as soon as He had said to them, I AM, they went backward and fell to the ground.

It is in the Gospel of John, however, that the most beautiful and personally meaningful "I am"s are found. There are seven of these, as follows:

1. "I am the bread of life" (John 6:35,48,51).
2. "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12).
3. "I am the door of the sheep"(John 10:7,9).
4. "I am the good shepherd" (John 10:11,14).
5. "I am the resurrection, and the life" (John 11:25).
6. "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6).
7. "I am the true vine" (John 15:1,5).

As He is so are we.1 John 4:17

Without question, in this place of I AM...we are many, yet only ONE.

If I am feeling sad...if I am feeling hurt...if I am feeling rejected or even confused...it is really not who I AM. I AM the knowing...not the condition that is known.

The Word of God Says in Jesus Christ…

I am faithful (Ephesians 1:1)

I am God’s child (John 1:12)

I have been justified (Romans 5:1)

I am Christ’s friend (John 15:15)

I belong to God (1 Corinthians 6:20)

I am a member of Christ’s Body (1 Corinthians 12:27)

I am assured all things work together for good (Romans 8:28)

I have been established, anointed and sealed by God (2 Corinthians 1:21-22)

I am confident that God will perfect the work He has begun in me (Philippians 1:6)

I am a citizen of heaven (Philippians 3:20)

I am hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3)

God is "ALL LOVING, ALL KNOWING, PURE HEALTH, PURE ABUNDANCE, PURE GOODNESS, PURE CREATIVENESS, PURE JOY, PURE PASSION, PURE WORTH, PURE DESERVING". 

Since you are God's offspring and are "ONE" with HIM, you deserve to 'feel' and 'live' all of those things....because YOU ARE ALL OF THOSE THINGS. (1 John 4:17)

This is a motto I live/love by everyday:

BE YOURSELF;BE LOVE!

Kingdom of Darkness and Kingdom of Light (His Dear Son)

Kingdom of Darkness and Kingdom of Light (His Dear Son) Col. 1:13

When one becomes awaken you will see that there is only 2 places people dwell that has spiritual difference, the kingdom of darkness or the kingdom of His dear Son/Light.

The kingdom of darkness has many divisions, but they are benign/powerless in their true context.

Only by being translated (a mental shift of awareness in the soul by the in taking of Light/Revelation) is one shifted into the kingdom of God, where oneness in the Father is realized. Now you go from glory to glory and this is the one true move that brings a great experiential difference to a person's life.

A Biblical mystery is simply truth that is veiled or cloaked until its appointed time and then revealed to its appointed vessels. My understanding of being born again/born from above has been revealed to me.

So what does born again mean?

First of all you, everyone is born from above in the beginning.

In John 3:7 Jesus is telling Nicodemus that salvation comes from above. It is all God’s business … your human effort plays no part in it at all. He tells Nicodemus that if anyone should understand this, it’s you – a religious leader of Israel! Shouldn’t you of all people know that salvation comes from above.

A number of translations say “born from above.” The key word here is anothen, meaning “from above, from heaven, from the beginning, from their origin (source), from of old, again, anew” (Strongs, 509)

On the one hand, it means your life finds its origin in Him and His will, not in your own effort or willpower. But this is also saying, “back it up … start it over from the top.” This literally means to start back at the beginning – back at your original design from above. Return to the origin – your authentic blueprint. This is about renewal – rediscovering mankind’s initial design as a spirit being in union with God. A restoration of the original creation.

(Gen 1:26)  And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth. And God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female. And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth.

New creation and old creation both originated in heart of God as one seamless act. The new was always intended as a regeneration of the old. God breathed His very pneuma– His Spirit into Adam. We find our very life source in His Substance! We were with Him, in Him and as Him from the foundation of the world. We were associated in Christ from the dawn of creation (Eph. 1:4). We have “forgotten the rock from which we where hewn” (Isa. 51:1), but the believer is one who begins to recognize and remember his true identity: that “as He is, so also are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). We are restored to that very image – our true self made in the very image of God. Spawned from an immortal seed. The divine, immortal you! A Life Giving Spirit!
