Fission of the Word in us

Print This Post Print This Post

I was going through memory lane and read His power working in us… I was led to read up again on nuclear fission.

Greek paraphrase Phm 1:6: That the fellowship (indescribable intimate union and bond) of your (His) faith may become godly life-energy by the revelatory knowledge of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

­The splitting of an atom releases an incredible amount of heat and gamma radiation, or radiation made of high-energy photons. The two atoms that result from the fission later release beta radiation (super fast electrons) and gamma radiation of their own as well. The energy released by a single fission comes from the fact that the fission products and the neutrons, together, weigh less than the original U-235 atom. The difference in weight is converted directly to energy at a rate governed by the equation E = mc2.

When I read the above link and looked at the animation I saw new revelatory word being birth in us by the Spirit of God continually on a daily basis. Word bonds with other word that causes a chain reaction unleashing energy then bonds with another and so on. All the Word is Him. This word co-mingles in our person, Rom. 12:2, and then becomes quickened unto godly-life energy, righteousness and power, Rom. 8:10. Our soul and flesh partake in this “fission of the Word” in us. The word expounds, expands, grows and is new all the time in us. The newness1 of the word is in present pluperfect tense. It is always NOW in us. This word comes from a place where a day is like a thousand years and a thousands years is like a day. To me, the word reproduces itself similar to the fission process. Who created the fission process? This Word is not of this world and comes from its source, Col. 1:5. This Word dwells in us richly now through faith and grace, Col. 3:16.

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

Knowledge of fulfillment

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.

Keep us from malignance

2 Thess. 3:3, “But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil (malignancy)”

Been noticing lately that the verses in the bible read so much different in the Greek. They seem more in tune to what I perceived witnessed in my spirit.

“Evil” in the above scripture is πονηρός ponēros. It means, “bad in effect, malignant.” Another definition of malignant is “tending to produce death, as bubonic plague.1

“Keep” means “to guard or keep watch.”

The Lord, our faith High Priest, in the order of Melchizedek, “King of Righteousness”, Heb. 3:1, 4:14, 5:10, establishes us in Him by His grace, faith and revelation of Him in us. The establishment in His nature, even righteousness, guards us from the malignancy of the judgment and penalty of self-imposed law! He guards and keeps us from the effects of sin because of the completeness of His work that was before the foundations of the earth. He keeps us from death and condemnation because we have been separated according to the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus making us free from the law of sin and death, Rom. 8:2. Our inner man is ever-renewing now outside of time according to Him, His grace, Living Word and revelation of Him. HE ESTABLISHES US in HIM, in life, His life, in light which darkness cannot overtake or comprehend.

Do we still have to prove or test God?

Do we still have to prove or test God?

No.

Old Testament quote: Mal. 3:10, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].”

If we do then we are not ministers of the New Covenant. The letter (Old Covenant) kills, but the Spirit gives life.

2 Cor. 3:6, “Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”

We have the Father’s Son now. He has us. He is revealed and His faith dwells in us now. Hebrews 1:1-2, Eph. 3:17.

His faith and willingness makes us righteous. Therefore, there is NO condemnation and we do not have to prove anything. The experience is not the proof, but because of the proof in us the experiences are manifested and created. Truth does not prove itself because it is truth. Light does not prove itself because it is light.

So, what about giving? Give because you want to. Read Supporting the Levitcal Priesthood.

If I am compelled by a need for approval then I am putting myself back under self-imposed law. The word says, “No flesh shall be justified before God by the law.” Romans 3:20

Christ has fulfilled all the law in me according to the revelation of Him in me. The just shall live by His faith in them by grace.

Disappointment immunization

Romans 5:5 (NLT), “And this expectation will not disappoint us.”

Hope is ever-eager passive expectation. Hope comes by faith through grace. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The law will only bring judgment. That is one of the primary purposes of the law. The law cannot bring a genuine expectation of true righteousness.

Gal. 5:5 (NIV), “But by faith we eagerly await (abide) through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope (ever-eagerly passively expect.)” The Aramaic-to-English translation says we “abide” in the hope of righteousness. Christ is the hope of glory. In its nature, hope is incapable of disappointing. It always imparts expectation. The expectation is not unto judgment, but righteousness all the time! Real hope remains. It is an anchor to our souls from behind the veil in the heavenlies.

“And for this reason”

Print This Post Print This Post

Hebrew 9:13-15 says, “For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

And for this reason

He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

What does serve mean?

Rom. 6:14-18, “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

According to the letter to Rome, we either serve sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. We either follow one of two patterns, the First Adam or the Last Adam who is Christ.

I use to think “obedience unto righteousness” was impossible. In the flesh, it is. I no longer believe in a spiritual walk that I have to be perfect. That is not life or living, but more closer to slavery.I believe “obedience unto righteousness” is based on the motivation of “I want to” versus “I have to.” I want to server God because I sincerely want to.

As far as perfection goes, I do believe I am growing towards perfection in Christ by grace, the truth of the word, sanctification and the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. Paul says it like this in Phil. 3:12-15, verse 12, “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.” I follow after because I am compelled by grace and I simultaneously being apprehended by grace toward perfection n Christ. The Word became flesh and now flesh is becoming Word. I believe the flesh becoming Word is the goal individually and globally if not universally until the enemy is His footstool.

“Yes, I chopped down the cherry tree.”

One of the most enduring myths about George Washington involves his chopping down his father’s cherry tree and, when asked about it, using the famous line “I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.”1

George Washington telling his father about cherry tree incident.

Honesty is a well-desired, noble attribute of character. I can be honest all I want, but it won’t set me free. Only revelation of the truth that is in Jesus will and can set me free. Being honest will not make me righteous. His faith in me by grace can only make me truly righteous. Honesty should manifest because of truth. If I place my righteousness on how honest I am then my focus is not on Christ, but on self. This has a potential to create self-righteousness apart from righteousness by faith and grace.

So, does this condone dishonesty? No, it does not. If I truly have been immersed or drowned into Christ then the old man with his nature is dead. The attribute and tendency towards dishonesty is dead in Christ, Gal. 2:20, Col. 3:3.

I believe the Lord manifests and reveals himself when we hear and hear His Word. Christ revealing Himself is contrary to being vulnerable. Being vulnerable is making oneself open to hurt and pain. Christ does not show Himself vulnerable in me, but REVEALS Himself in me. In Him, ALL the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily, Col. 2:9. If I have ALL fullness in me then what do I lack? If I do not have all fullness in me then I do lack and will be vulnerable. In Col. 1:24, Paul says, “I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church…”

Ethics versus Truth

Print This Post Print This Post

One definition of ethics I found was,

Personal rules for behavior. Ethics are rules for behavior, based on beliefs about how things should be.

From the above definition, it seems are ethics are akin to ‘what I think is right or acceptable is ethical to me.’ If you are not ethical like me then something is wrong with you because you are not like me.

So, let’s say I live in the Amazon jungle in a distant, secluded tribe of head hunters. In this tribe, cannibalism is ethical. If I eat someone else’s flesh then I supposedly receive their strength. This is not true of course, but could be an example of ethics.

To me, it seems ethics sometimes reside in the scope of a culture. At its core, ethics are subjective to the individual. In this subjectivity, ethics may not necessarily be true or real. I do not believe ethics are inspired by God, but by the self-imposed law on mans’ heart. If this is true, then ethics are a form of self-righteousness. People can have good, sincere motives in their self-righteousness, but no liberty or power in their life.

Truth aligns all things with itself. Things that are not real or true are not able to align with truth. Truth surpasses any and all realms of existence. Truth is eternal and never changes. Christ is the truth. The truth is in Him. This truth ‘knits’ together His Body, the Church, in love, by revelation of Him through grace unto godliness. This is a contrast to being ethical.

Ethics are limited to the person, culture, nation or even planet, but Truth is universal and omni-dimensional.

Ethics are based on man’s reasoning within himself and not Christ’s faith. Ethics require approval. My righteousness does not not. I am righteous by His faith in me through grace.

In Christ, we are ministers of the New Covenant, 2 Cor. 3:6.

I cannot mix the ‘required approval’ of ethics with the New Covenant otherwise it is no longer the New Covenant, but ‘another gospel’, 2 Cor. 11:4 & Gal. 1:7. The Testator and Mediator of the New Covenant has fulfilled, shelemed, and completed any and all requirements for my righteousness in Him!

In ethics, I am required to change or conform to it. The Gospel according to the New Covenant supernaturally changes me by grace, truth and revelation of Christ in me.

Three areas in His will

My willingness makes you righteous.

And is in the continual act of making you righteous.

Romans 12:1-2

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Hebrews 10:10

“And by that will (Christ’s will in Heb. 10:7), we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

In Rom. 12:2,

PROVE means “to test or examine something with the object of the test being to display or prove the genuineness of that which is tried.”

GOOD means “describes that which is “good” in its character or constitution or beneficial in its effect.”

ACCEPTABLE means “that which causes someone to be pleased. It is something which is well approved, eminently satisfactory, or extra-ordinarily pleasing.”

PERFECT means “an adjective which describes some entity which is finished, brought to its end, lacking nothing necessary for completeness.”

The above four things happen by “being transformed by the renewing of our minds” in Christ by hearing and hearing the word of God.

So, I can be in the good will of God. An example could be having the desire to preach or give to the poor.

I can be in the good and acceptable will of God. An example could be having the desire to preach or give to the poor and acting upon it by arbitrarily going to Africa and doing so.

Lastly, by grace, I can be in His good, acceptable and perfect will. An example of this could be having the desire to preach or give to the poor and knowing that the Holy Spirit is unctioning or compelling you to do so in Australia and then doing it.

If am in the good, acceptable and perfect will of God I am in His purpose and mine in Him. I am a righteous creature created by Him functioning, living, and fulfilling the Creator’s purpose which is my purpose in Him.

All of this happens by revelation, grace and faith in His love.
