To Know God

To Not Know God and go about using His Authority....will not get you in heaven.

God Wants You To Know Him.

Matthew 7:21-23

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

John 17:1-3

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Life Eternal is Knowing God and Jesus Christ.  Life Eternal is in the Son and whoever has received the Son has Eternal Life in them. 

1John 5:11-12, 20  

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

He that hath the Son hath life: and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

v20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

So seek a closer walk and fellowship with our Father and let the Holy Spirit unveil more of who Jesus Christ is and why he did what the Father had him do for us.  Redemption and Reconciled to the Father through the Son.  His Blood speaks and declares His Righteousness on our behalf.  His kingdom is come and we are seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places now, so to rule and reign with Jesus the King and Priest.  And the Kingdom of God is in the Holy Spirit, who is now come in us, who have received Jesus as our Savior.  He has sealed us as His own.  

Now the Father wants us to seek after Him to know Him better.  Seek His kingdom and righteousness.  Our Father is a good God and Father and He has made all provision for us through His Son Jesus the Christ.  That divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Jesus Christ. 

This is a knowing that is more than head knowledge.  This is a knowing that comes from an Encounter of His Presence which changes everything about us... yet a little at a time so we aren't overwhelmed in His Glory.

So ask, seek and knock.....  Seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness... God will take care of you.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Thank you Father.

Amen.

His Riches of His Glory

In His Riches of His Glory all provision is made.  No lack. No want. Abundant life that is abundantly flowing with His fullness in us, and us in Him.  Jesus Christ is Lord and where the Lord is there is liberty.  No lack in liberty either.  All sufficiency is in Christ Jesus.  Access to the Father is fully provided for, and His Love to Heal you.

Ephesians 3:14-21
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

Philippians 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Christ in you is our hope of glory.  Jesus Christ in you is the Power of God ready and able in you to release you from bondage and bring you into His Life and Kingdom.  That’s what the Spirit of God did for Jesus when He raised Him from the dead, and that is what He's doing for you today.

Colossians 1:10-11
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

John 17:21-23
That they all may be one; as thou, Father art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
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.
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they maybe hold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

We are given His glory to share with him and to see Him in His glory, where he is. Honor to Him.  As one in us and us in one.

1 John 5:4-8 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

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.

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

The Glory of the Father and the Glory of the Son in us, and now us in Him as one….. His riches in glory by Jesus Christ…. Our Victory which gives us life more abundantly.  We live and move and have our being in Him.

Amen.

You Died But Not Left Dead

Because of sin and the law you died, but not left dead in Christ Jesus.

If Christ lives in you the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you, then He will quicken your mortal bodies so that you may walk as Jesus walked after He rose from the grave… in the Divine Nature that is without sin and death.

Jesus was and is the first fruit of the Spirit to walk in the earth without sin. He had gone before us, walking in the divine nature that was without corruption, so to pave the way for us to do the same.  Our propitiation…. the second man walking… to set the path for us to walk in the life that is more abundant (John 10:10).

Romans 8:9-11
v10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 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.

Now awakened in Christ Jesus …

Awakened by the Holy Spirit as He Quickens your mortal bodies.  By the renewing of your mind by the word of God that is Spirit and Life, you are circumcised in your heart and mind.  God’s transformation that frees you from the body of the sin of the flesh, and births forth the divine nature that is without sin.  Glory! Hallelujah!

Romans 6:6-8, 9-11, 12-14
v6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

You died, but now are made alive in Christ Jesus.  As the Holy Spirit opens your eyes of understanding of who Jesus Christ is, and you have an encounter … a revelation… a revealing of the Lord Jesus, and you behold Him who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, then a change in your self takes place.  You can’t help but be changed when in the Lord’s presence.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit makes this happen and that is why we have the Comforter living within our innerman.  This is the manifestation of the first of our inheritance of God in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:13-14).

Ephesians 1:13-14 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,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

So continue to allow the Holy Spirit to raise you up out of the dead, and establish you in His life and kingdom.

Romans 8:9-11 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 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.

Ephesians 2:5-6 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Quickened us together with Christ
Raised us up together
Made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus
In the Ages to come …. that’s us now…. HE will show us the exceeding riches of his grace in HIS KINDNESS toward us THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.

Thank you Abba Father!

Amen.
