Love goes through walls

Ephesians 2:14 talks about a middle wall being broken up, destroyed, demolished and even dissolved. What is this middle wall between the Jew and Gentile? It was the judgment, guilt and penalty of the Mosaic Law and even the law written on the Gentile hearts!

Luke 24:36 says Jesus appeared in the midst of the disciples and they thought He was a spirit. I believe this is the scripture where people derive the story of Jesus’s resurrected flesh walking through walls.

A while back, I wrote The Fringe - “Safe” Episode. In this episode, the characters theoretically (by quantum mechanics) are able to walk through a sold steel, vaulted safe.

I also am reminded of mid-evil times of castles and knights. The design of castles was to keep intruders and the enemy outside. The moat and castle walls were there for protection. Comparatively, fear creates walls. These walls do not exist in Love. Love is not aware of these walls. Christ is the crucified Lamb before the foundations of the earth. Love was before the law. Love fulfills and establishes the all the law.

Walls cannot exist in Love. They are destroyed, abolished and dissolved. Walls separate, but Christ is our peace. The Greek word for peace means to join together. The Hebrew word shalom is even more. Shalom means to make whole without any lack, but in the God kind of way. My definition is lacking to what it really is. It is more than that. Perfect loves drives and casts away fear and torment. The knowledge of perfect love comes by revelation of Christ by hearing the word. When perfection comes the little or imperfect is nullified or disappears, 1 Cor. 13:10.

So, ask yourself next time you perceive some type of wall, “Can His love go through this wall?” Or “Is this wall really here?” “Why do I perceive it is there?” “Why does it seem so real?” What if there is no wall? Isn’t that what Eph. 2:14 says?

Body of flesh

in baptism, death, flesh, peace, resurrection and walking in the Spirit

Col. 2:11-12 (KJV) says, “11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins[c] of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.”

The Nestle-Aland text omits “of the sins.” If this is true what does it imply, say, or mean?

Well, first off, verse 11 would read like this, “In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ…”

If the Word became flesh, John 1:14, and we are renewed according to the original pattern or tupos, Col. 3:10. Then the flesh will become Word according the hearing of the Word. The flesh becoming Word puts off the body of flesh. The putting off of the body of flesh is by grace and the revelation of Christ in us by hearing the Word. Flesh is powerless against the Word by the circumcision of Christ. “Who shall separate me from this body of death?” Rom. 7:24, Col. 1:22. Death cannot co-exist with life. Death has lost its power. “O death, where thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?” 1 Cor. 15:55. Life is more real than death. Christ said, “I am the Resurrection and the Life.” Life forever. A life that is unaware of time. Death is aware of time. Life may not be aware of time if it cannot die. Time is nullified in true life.

In Christ, we have been separated and delivered from the body of flesh! We are now, by grace, in the Spirit. In the Spirit, we have liberty. We exercise and witness righteousness through the passive effect and apprehension of the unveiling of the Word of Christ in us. We actively witness through a passive internal effect by the circumcision of the heart by the Spirit of the Living God to make us His predestined children by the Spirit of Adoption in Christ Who our elder brother and Lord. He is our peace. Peace from the effects of the judgment of the law written in our hearts.

In the Spirit, in Him, the body of flesh is put off for good. Once immersed and drowned into Christ, the new man is. Is what? The new man is. He “is” because time is nullified, or death no longer has its sting. “IS” is perfect present tense because the new man is Christ in us, Eph. 2:15. Christ sits at the right hand of the Father in the heavenlies. The heavenlies are in eternity.

in curse, death and witchcraft
. 0 Comments

On 01/08/09, Brother Leroy was on “Believers Voice of Victory” with  Kenneth Copeland. He mentioned a ’spirit of suicide’ while talking on the broadcast. This reminded me of the meaning of Jezebel.

The name Jezebel combines the prefix “NOT”,

http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/Lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H336&t=KJV

And “to cohabit or be intimate with.”

http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/Lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H2082&t=KJV

So, Jezebel means “unable to cohabit with“, “unable to be intimate or have sexual intercourse with.”

If this is true then generally speaking I’d be alone. I’ve noticed a correlation of sorts possibly with witchcraft. I see people sometimes and am almost certain witchcraft is in their midst or life. The prophet Samuel said, “Stubbornness is as idolatry and witchcraft is as rebellion.” The “my way or highway” mentality seems like anarchy, but rebellion seems to create isolation from God. If I am rebelling against God like Jezebel notoriously showed in the Old Testament then I am not only counting solely on myself, but standing against God and approving even encouraging anyone else who does. I am cutting myself off from Life, Love, true purpose and identity. I am killing myself and the image I was created in. This is suicide. This suicide is either willfully ignorant or willful suicide. I believe God is allowing this because of grace. In this case, He gives us over to a reprobate mind, Rom. 1:28. This grace the allows this came through Jesus, John 1:16-17.

Is it God’s will for us to commit suicide spiritually or physically? NO, God forbid. That is a lie from the pit of hell.

Love is unconditional. Love does not impose itself, but reveals itself. In this revealing, we have a choice of free-will. I did not marry my wife because she forced me to. I married her wholeheartedly and willingly because I love her. Otherwise, the marriage has no authenticity. It only looks like marriage. We are not God’s automatons, but His righteous offspring in Christ by the Spirit of adoption. This is His will for us.

His will is also John 10:10.

Days of Noah

Matt. 24:34-39,

“Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

On 02/19/09, this thought came to mind. Now, we are under grace not law. The “days of Noah” was ‘before the law’. In the ‘days of Noah’ they were not under the law the either. Moses had not yet even been born. In Christ, we are no longer under the schoolmaster. This gives more understanding to the above verse in red. This implies we are now in the days like the time of Noah. What does this mean? Well, Noah prepared the ark. His Church is and will be prepared. Some will enter and some will not believe and therefore not enter. His Appearing will not be with water, but with an all-consuming fire, HIS GLORIOUS PRESENCE on earth. He will not be the crucified man who died, but will be the immutable, all-powerful, Son of the living God. In Him, ALL fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily. He is coming for His Body and His Body will also have His fullness as well. The fullness of God! What is that? I can’t even wrap my brain around that, but that is what is going to happen according to the scriptures!

In you. Not you.

in faith, identity and made righteous

Gal. 3:8-9,
“And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying,  “IN YOU all the nations shall be blessed.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.”

It says, “IN YOU” or in Abram not Abram, but in him will all nations be blessed. What was in Abraham? Faith. How? After God spoke to him. God’s quickenend Word creates faith. This faith makes our nature, essence and every part of who we are like God our Father through His Son Jesus. Christ is the Word. When God speaks His word to us and we hear His word it manifests its nature and power by grace. Part of this manifestation in us is righteousness. I am a new creation in Christ by grace because of His faith IN ME. His faith in me is there by His quickened and spoken word in me. His word is turning me and my flesh in to Word. The Word became flesh. Now, the flesh becomes Word by revelation of the Word. Truth aligns all things with itself. If something is not true it cannot last and may not be real. A lie is not real. Death is not real. Unforgiveness is not real. Love, hope and faith are real. They remain. They continue in the life to come.

This same IN YOU that was in Abram is now in me and you if you believe in Christ and hear His quickened word.

There are two Greek words for “son” or “child” I recently discovered. They are teknon1 and huios2.

The Greek word, teknon from tekna means “born ones”3, newborns, young babies or children.

It is used in the following verses,

http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=G5043&t=KJV&page=3

  • Col. 3:20, “Children (teknon), obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.”
  • 1 Thess. 2:7, “But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children (teknon):”
  • 1 Cor. 4:14, “I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you].”
    • 1 Cor. 4:14 paraphrase, “I write not these things to put law on you, but as “new born children” from my ministry in Christ4, birthed by grace and loved by Christ in my heart I warn [you].”

The Greek word huios means a grown child no longer under the law or no longer under the supervision of a schoolmaster. Their nature has become and is growing into and in righteousness apart from works by grace through revelation.

Huios is used in Galatians 4:5 of a mature child of God in a legal standing as against a child of God (teknon) in his minority (Galatians 4:1, 2, 3).5

Huios is used in the following verses,

The Person who is seeing and forgiving

in forgiveness
. 0 Comments

2 Cor. 2:10, “Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one* for your sakes in the presence (person) of Christ,”

Presence or person could also mean “pros, “towards,” ops, “an eye,” lit., “the part round the eye, the face,” in a secondary sense “the look, the countenance,” as being the index of the inward thoughts and feelings.”

Christ is the person in performing the seeing and “willing” the forgiving.

Self-imposed enmity

Eph. 2:15, “Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of two one new man, [so] making peace;”

I create enmity, animosity, hostility, antagonism in myself and put on myself through self-imposed law in my heart.

What?

If I am unable to meet my perception of God’s standards (which I can’t) then these things below are created because I cannot fulfill my self-imposed law in my heart.

I’ve added the prefix self- and italicized words.

self-Enmity1: The quality of being an enemy towards self and others; hostile or unfriendly self-disposition. A state of self-opposition;

self-Animosity2: A feeling of strong self-(dislike, ill will, or enmity) that tends to display itself in action: a deep-seated animosity between two sisters; animosity against one’s neighbor.

self-Hostility3: self-Opposition or self-resistance to an idea, plan, project, etc. This sounds similar to another blog, Anarchism in the church - pseudo-godliness. Makes sense if there is strife in church, family, teams, and so on.

self-Antagonism:

  • Ecology definition - a relationship between two species (Jew vs. Gentile or Myself vs. Self-imposed law) of organisms in which the individuals of each species adversely affect the other, as in competition.
  • An opposing force, principle, or tendency: Her plan to become an actress met with the antagonism of her family. If this is true, then I would be against myself based on my self-imposed law!

After reading these definitions, it seems as though if I have a perception of God’s standard in my life based self-imposed law and I fail to meet it then perfect Love is not casting out fear4 and I am not walking in the Spirit or liberty that I have in Christ. I am walking under judgment due to the failure of not keeping my self-imposed law. This creates self-enmity and no Godly love of myself or in myself. If I have fear or timidity of not keeping the God-standard I think I am supposed to keep then I am making myself a slave by the spirit of fear unto bondage5.

So, why is perfect Love not casting out fear? I receive faith by hearing and hearing the Word of God. This faith brought by revelation makes me a new creature. It supernaturally changes my nature into righteousness like God my Father by His Son Jesus Christ. Revelation of His nature is also of His Love nature. He IS Love. This Love grows in me by grace through faith based on hearing and hearing the Word of God. Revelation casts out fear. Just as darkness is cast out by light. Once you have light, darkness cannot be dark anymore or dwell with light. This is all based on grace and revelation of Christ in us and not what the perception of His love is. My self-imposed law perception apart from Christ is a total contrast than walking and living in Him or revelation unto faith in Him.
