More light more visibility

The more light in me, revelation, truth, grace, the more clarity and visibility around me. Others who are dark I am able to see clearer. Such as motive, emotions, sickness, death. Truth separates from things that are not truth. Things that encounter the light are exposed. If I flash a flashlight at night and something or someone walks in front if it the light exposes it.

Perhaps this is why Paul says, “Where are not unaware of the enemy’s schemes.” I believe a huge part of the enemy’s strategy is to constantly stimulate self-imposed law. How? Thoughts. Revelation apprehends and passively arrests us. If we know something that is undeniably real and true. The truth of what we know affects us. That is what truth does. It aligns everything with it. Truth does not even hinge on time.

By possessing revelatory knowledge of a purged conscience by the blood of Christ these ‘thoughts’ thrown our way become less and less powerful. Self-imposed law based thoughts are works-based, self-strength based, self-condemnation based, and the like. A conscience that is purged nullifies the little. That is what the Aramaic translates into in Corinthians. Something nullified is obsolete and annulled. So, the old man-based or self-based thoughts thrown our way are nullified in Christ? Isn’t that what Paul says in Gal. 2:20, 2 Cor. 5:17?

I remember the Lord told me once, “My forgiveness is greater than your unforgiveness towards yourself.” Even if I am not forgiving myself for whatever this is not even necessary. Repentance is something else. Repentance is and “after thought” with lasting affects on one’s life that do not change or go away. Repentance is real. Whimsical forgiveness based on me failing self-expectations has no value to us being in Christ. This is also what Paul talks about in Phil. 3, “Not having a righteousness

Stop being offered

Hebrews 10:2, “2If it could, would they not have stopped being offered?”

If I am unsure about my walk, my righteousness before God the Father then there is a possibility I could be under self-imposed law even though I am not. If am tired, trying to make things right, walking the tight rope of self-righteousness, looking over my spiritual shoulder, not sure if my next step is sure then this does not sound like liberty or being under grace or being IN Him to me.

The dead works cease to be offered when you are not compelled to offer them. Why? Because He has revealed Himself IN you! He IS our righteousness and our identity is hid in Him.

This also originates back to our conscience being purged from the guilt and knowledge of the judgment of the law. Which the writer of Hebrews discusses further in Hebrews 10. Good stuff. Thank God for our High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.

I spy

Been reading these “I Spy” books lately with the boys. It dawned on me how you look at the same thing over and over and do not notice something. Either in people. Especially, the Word. In life and everything. You look and look and then BAM! you see it.

Romans 16:25, “The revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began…”

Whose prisoner are you?

Eph. 3:1, “1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles…”

Just imagine. You’re in prison, but you know the warden is Christ in you. Therefore, you are the prisoner of Christ Jesus according to His purpose for His life in you.

Hebrew for heart is “authority within”

In the ancient Hebrew, heart means “authority within”.

Let His peace because he is peace (wholeness, completion) umpire your mind and heart. Hebrews see mind and heart combined. He is the Shepherd of our souls. “Authority within.” The authority could be His peace (His IS peace) over our hearts and minds from the guilt and judgment of the law. I am growing into peace in Him.

John 5:37, “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.”

Eph. 1, “Mystery of His will” enables authority as we grow in grace and knowledge.

Going into Sheol

Last night, 01/28/10, had a dream I was at a subway or airport like building. There were a lot of people there. A man was escort mean to a lower part. I purposely lost him and was able to get to a lower level closer to the entrance. I end up in a long corridor. The corridor reminded me of the second or third Matrix movie when Neo is stuck in the subway with a family. Then I notice a security guard who isn’t all human coming down into the corridor. We begin to fight. If I win I go further into the subway. Later, I realize I was looking for someone in Sheol or Hell. I think Sheol could also  represent the old man and/or primitive nature.

02/03/10, This might have been me looking for me.

Knowledge of fulfillment

Print This Post Print This Post

Romans 8:4, “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

The word ‘fulfilled’ is passive voice and subjunctive mood or the mood of possibility. Fulfilled can mean the following: to make complete in every particular, to cause to abound, to furnish or supply liberally, to flood, to diffuse throughout, to pervade, to take possession of and so to ultimately to control.

The root of ‘fulfilled’ is to satiate, or fill a boat with fish, or to be filled with emotion and wholly possessed.

In Christ, I am His righteousness by revelation and grace. His righteousness IN ME satiates my being. It fills and diffuses into me making me a new, righteous, holy creation. The knowledge of fulfillment of the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in me completely and every way in Christ by revelation and grace. I partake of Him and am in Him.

Light Exposure

This blog builds a little on Darkness cannot comprehend Light and Truth.

John 1:5, “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

1 John 1:5, “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.”

1 Tim. 6:14-16, “Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in his own time-God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light

Eph. 5:8, “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light…”

Eph. 5:13 (NIV), “But everything exposed by the light becomes visible…”

The knowledge of His love could be light. Bearing His mercy and fruit could be light. We are the children of LIGHT!!!

Light cannot be lay hold of by darkness. Darkness is not able to lay hold of light and truth because of its inherent nature. It is incapable of doing so. Once light is in the believer this light cannot be quenched or put out because of the nature of light. The nature of light exposes all that we think or imagine could be hidden. Truth stands alone. Something real is always real. It does not shift or change. He is the truth and the truth is in Him. He is immutable and unchanging. He does not change His mind. His love never fails.

Peace makes the call

Col. 3:15, “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.” Peace, by Greek definition, is the arbitrating umpire or referee in a competition.

Competition of what? How about competition of self-imposed law versus self. Self-imposed law says, “You aren’t good enough unless you do this then you’re good enough.” It also says, “You are good enough because you did do this.” So, there is the competition. Self always looses. Chapter and verse. Okay. Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” So, what has everyone fallen short of? The glory of God. Paul said, “No one is righteous. Not even one”, Rom. 3:10.

Righteousness is not based on presumption, assumption, speculation, a guess, good morals, good ethics, how nice someone is, or even if they are in ministry. Righteousness is partaking of the divine intrinsic nature rooted in revelation of Christ in us.

He IS peace. He made the Jew and Gentile into ONE man in Himself! In doing  so, the competition is over. Glory. Thank you Lord.

What is the point here? In Christ, I can BE. Huh? I can BE. If I can BE then I don’t have to strive to BE, but AM in Him by grace. I can BE because I partake of His grace, righteousness and peace.

Phil. 3:9, “And be found in him (BE), not having mine own righteousness (self-imposed law also), which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by (HIS) faith:”

Mishkan

Print This Post Print This Post

Christ is the Mishkan. The Mishkan that lit the Holy of Holies dwells in us now by revelation of Christ in us.

There was a difference between the temple of God which was the structure itself and the temple of God which was the dwelling place. When Jesus was accusing the Jewish authorities He said, “You have made My Fathers house into a den of thieves,” and by saying “My Father” they knew He was claiming Messianic authority over the temple, and so they said, ” what sign do you show us seeing that you do these things?” and notice what He said:

John 2:19-21 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

They were looking at the physical structure (Heb. Mikdash) of the temple but He said, “Destroy this temple” He used the word in Hebrew ‘Mishkan‘ which was the word used in the Old Testament of the Presence that lit the holy of holies on Yom Kippur in the tabernacle or temple. Jesus said I am the temple (Mishkan) of God. When the glory (Heb. Sh’chinah) would come down like a tornado or funnel right through the roof of the holy of holies and the Presence would manifest on the mercy seat between the cherubim after the blood was sprinkled, that was the mishkan. That Presence was what Jesus said dwelt within Him. And in fact Paul said about the church, “Know ye not that you are the temple (Mishkan) of God?” We, as the body of Christ, have the same Presence dwelling within us. God doesn’t dwell in buildings now but within His people. Rmans 10 says that If you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Yaweh and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. It’s that easy. At that point you become the Mishkan of God. When God said, “Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them,” He literally said ‘in’ them. God’s ultimate goal has always been to dwell within His people (Jer. 31:31-33) and to put His Spirit within us. When you accept Jesus you become the Mishkan of God.1
