                                      The Changing of the Body  part 8


MT 27:50-53, "Jesus, when he had cried again, with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.  And behold, the veil of the temple wa rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;  And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."

We saw in the study of  "Life On Both Sides of the River", that there IS ministering going on, on "Both Sides of the River."  This has to be a truth.  Because, not only will the Manifested Sons of God have to have (1) received revelation, (2) heard, (3) received understanding, (4) and BELIEVED, in order to call the dead back into glorified bodies; but, those on the other side, in the spirit realm, will have to have heard the calling back, because "they without us cannot be made complete." (Heb 11:40)

You may say, "If many arose from their graves and walked in a resurrected state of being, why did they go on and see death again?"  The answer is sure. It's because they had not received the Holy Spirit, yet. They did not have what WE have today, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor 15: 22-28).

"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.  Gut, every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.  Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.  For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet.  But when he saith all things are are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him."


This is powerful !!!  There are some things that we really have to see!!

1. There is an order, for His Coming forth in His people.
   A. First, it is in CHRIST, the firstfruits. Notice, "firstfruits" IS PLURAL. This is His        many-membered Body parts. This is those who manifest, fully, His Christ in the earth.
   B. Second,  after these manifest on the earth, then those which are Christ's .
   C. Third,  THEN cometh the end. (that is, the world that hasn't accepted Jesus as their Saviour.

2. "when he shall have delivered UP the Kingdom TO God".  See where the KINGDOM OF GOD has to come from? UP. This is up from within US. (Rom 14:10, Luke 17:21). And notice, the KINGDOM has manifested up from within, and then it has to be delivered up TO God. The Kingdom is delivered up to God, WHEN the Sons of God (a single Body) has put down (in the earth--their vessels, as well as the natural earth, ALL rule and ALL authority AND power.  You see, He has given it to us, we just aren't using it , as we should be.

3. He must reign, (the Body of Christ) , till he hath put all enemies under his feet.  The feet represent our walk. (which includes our belief and rest in the certainty of Father's Words.) And just as Jesus is our Pattern, we become a Pattern unto others. They become a part of our (the Body of Christ) feet. So after this manifests, (which it IS BEING FULFILLED NOW), these are a part of those that will make up the Manifested Sons of God.

4, The last enemy shall be destroyed is death. This is what Father is revealing to us now. There IS a people who ARE swallowing up death.
Remember who this Word is about, THOSE WHO KNOW WHO THEY ARE, not the "ordinary" ).

5. "For he (Jesus, our Father God) HATH, HAS, PAST TENSE, put ALL things under His feet". Feet = US, the Body of Christ, with HIM as the Head!!  It's already done!! This is IMPORTANT!!  WHEN IS IT DONE?  "WHEN HE (US--His Christ Body) SAITH, SAITH, SAITH!!! "when he saith all things are put under, it IS MANIFEST THAT HE (OUR HEAD) is EXCEPTED, which DID put all things under Him (and His Body)!!  Hallelujah!!  Saith, means when we BELIEVE it!! To the point , that it manifests. Do you believe it??  Or are you still waiting to see if it's going to happen?  Remember, Father wants us established in PRESENT TRUTH, not truths from the past.

6. Then, "GOD WILL BE ALL IN ALL"!!

I had not planned to go into this, but this is how Father led so  be it! Amen.  Now, let's get on with our study.

Those that arose from the graves were not filled with the Holy Ghost, because Jesus had not yet come to the Upper Room and provide that filling, yet. That remembering that they were spirit beings, wasn't really a belief in them, they may have known that they just arose from that state of being, but I don't think that they had the revelation that they had ALWAYS been a spirit being , in the image of God.    You see, When Adam was created , in the image of God, I believe that he was created as a Spirit being, a "light being". But, at the "fall", which was part of God's Plan, Adam was "hued down".  (Hu-manned) Human speaks of COLOR. Spirit speaks of "clear". (being seen through, clearly.As clear as the "glass" we see the reflection of Father in, when we look in that glass at ourselves.)  Hue is another word for color. Adam means, "red in the face".  Adam was "hued down" from clear to red, meaning a change in blood. He went from being a God being to being a hue man being.  And now, it's being reversed!!  Hallelujah!! There are those who are returning to the simplicity of Jesus. We are leaving religion and are re-turning to our real state of being!!  All glory to God!!

                                     First Corinthians, chapter 15

This entire chapter is SO RICH in spiritual manna! If you stayed in it for a month allowing Father to give that 3rd realm understanding of the words, it would change your way of thinking. Honestly, it would.  But, right now, we want to concentrate on the Changing that IS taking place.

1 Cor 15:51, "BEHOLD...."
Anytime you see the word "Behold", Father is about to reveal something that He has not revealed before.

"Behold, I show you a mystery..."
This word "mystery", in the Greek #3466 in Strong's means, to shut the mouth; a secret (through the idea of silence, imposed by initiation into religious rites.  In Thayer's Lexicon #3466, it means: (in class. Greek), a hidden thing, secret, generally mysteries, religious secrets, confided only to the initiated and not to be communicated by them (the initiated) to ordinary mortals. The secret purposes relative to the Kingdom of God; used of certain single events decreed by God having reference to His Kingdom, or the salvation of man.  So, the way I am seeing this is:
"Behold, what is going to be revealed in the following Words--Behold is a secret to those "initiated", or ordained to this realm of understanding,-- is the secret by the Holy Spirit, and it's not, nor can be, communicated to "ordinary mortals,", carnal Christians." (because the carnal receiveth not the things of the Spirit.  1Cor 2:14.) And the Words are secret purposes relative to the Kingdom of God, used of single events decreed by God, having reference to His Kingdom." Hallelujah!!

And what is this secret, decreed by God, used of certain single events?

"We shall not all sleep (die a physical death) but we shall all be changed."

This "being changed" is decreed or ordained by God.  Why people find this so hard to believe, when Father planned it, is sad!  Now understand clearly, it is not the event that is to be desired, it's the PERSON that will be seen in the event, FATHER!!  Oh! Glory to His Name!!

VS52, "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye...."

I gave definitions in the last part of this study, part 7. This word "moment" means, "ATOM".  Now, I want us to shut off the natural mind and think with the Mind of Christ. (1Cor 2:16).  We know that in the spirit realm there is no time, only PRESENT.  Moment , in the natural thinking, denotes time.  So, the Spirit is showing us that this word "moment" is speaking of something else.  Consider this.  What are each cell of each part of our bodies made up of?  ATOMS!!  (I've included, here, a short article that I got off of the internet, regarding atoms.

Quote:  "How many atoms are in the human body?Would you settle for a whole bunch? I didn't think so. The number of atoms in one person is almost too big to write out. But fortunately there's a shorthand system, called scientific notation, that we use instead for writing really BIG or really SMALL numbers. Since huge numbers are generally just estimates anyway, we just use the first few numbers, followed by a code that tells you how many zeros would follow if you wrote it all out. Ok, here it goes. Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon make up about 99% of the average human. I'm going to cheat a little and leave out the other 1%, which is made up of trace elements (that is, stuff there's only a trace of in the body). Then, let's assume an average adult weighs 70 kilograms. Be sure to keep in mind that the following numbers are based on the number of atoms, not percent of body weight (by weight we are mostly oxygen). A 70 kg body would have approximately 7*1027 atoms. That is, 7 followed by 27 zeros:7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000Of that, 4.7*1027 would be hydrogen atoms, which have one proton and one electron each. Another 1.8*1027 would be oxygen, which has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. There are 7.0*1026 carbon atoms, which have 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Now, let's add that all up:    
       Protons        Neutrons        Electrons    
   
Hydrogen        4.7*1027  0        4.7*1027    
   
Oxygen        1.4*1027        1.4*1027    1.4*1027    
   
Carbon        4.2*1026        4.2*1026        4.2*1026    
   
Total        6.5*1027        1.8*1027        6.5*1027    
   
Well, you'll have to agree that really is a whole bunch.Answer 2As they say in French - "Beaucoup," meaning a lot! A very technical, but very interesting, discussion of this can be found at http://www.foresight.org/Nanomedicine/Ch03_1.html. In summary, for a typical human of 70 kg, there are almost 7*1027 atoms (that's a 7 followed by 27 zeros!) Another way of saying this is "seven billion billion billion." Of this, almost 2/3 is hydrogen, 1/4 is oxygen, and about 1/10 is carbon. These three atoms add up to 99% of the total!The web site gives a detailed list of the all the different kinds of atoms making up the human body (there's even some uranium in us!) More importantly, this site is an introduction to a very new area of medical research named Nanomedicine which can be defined as "the monitoring, repair, construction and control of human biological systems at the molecular level, using engineered nanodevices and nanostructures." Anyone who has watched the Star Trek TV shows has certainly come across this idea in some of the "Borg" episodes." end quote.

Matter, which our bodies are, is made up of 3 states of being: liquid, vapor , and solid.  OH!! This is so good!!  Prov 22:30, tells us that when Father reveals something to us, it's in 3's, if we take it before Him. That word "excellent" in Prov means =3 fold, or 3 realms!!  Isn't He just wonderful!!  

"in a moment , in the twinkling of an eye..."

This word "twinkling" means, a jerking. (see definitions).  So, in the atoms of our make up, our bodies, there is a jerking that must take place.  The jerking of what?  The eye.  They eye is our sight organ. The "jerking" that IS taking place, is of an eye.  We have learned that the word "of" in the Greek means= out from within. The "jerking must come out from within an eye.  An is a preposition, showing a particular eye.  What does Father tell us regarding the eye?

MT 6:22-23, " The LIGHT of the body is the eye: if therefore thine  eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of LIGHT.  But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the LIGHT that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness.!"

Now, we saw that in the natural flesh body, that blood was the life of it.  What I am getting from this is that LIGHT represents understanding. Also, Jesus said, "I am the LIGHT of the world. Which we do believe. But, He also said, "YOU are the LIGHT OF THE WORLD".  Do we BELIEVE that?  I don't think that most do believe that. How can people believe that they are the LIGHT of the world, when they won't even accept what the Word tells us about WHO we are. "It is Christ that lives, not I..."  (Gal 2:20).  Why do people put off into the future, what the Word clearly uses the present tense of much that tells us about ourselves?  I know that for anything to be a LIVING REALITY to us, it must be out of the understanding of the Holy Spirit, but there's a lot of people who even in the natural, do not want to accept, the wording alone, as being true.   Then there are those who's concern is with the POWER they will have, with GREATER works THEY will work, but they have forgotten, IT IS NOT THEM who will do this,  IT IS FATHER!!!  These are things that the natural eyes are focused on. This is a SINGLE EYE that is jerked. And what is it jerked from?  From the natural, to the truths of Father. Jerked to see as He sees. The atoms of our body is changed as that single eye is jerked to the Spiritual, that tells us of TRUE REALITY, not this life that is now being made reality. (but it is temporal.) The darkness that is "great in thee" is NOT BELIEVING His Word!!  For as a man thinketh in his heart, so IS he. ANYTHING contrary to Father's Word is darkness.  Take a truth , meditate on it, regardless of what is seen in the natural, and Father will honor that and will give the understanding of it to become a reality in us.  Then that much more of the eye, or His LIGHT, that single eye,  is jerked to stay on that truth. As this happens, after that "twinkling" or jerking of the eye then, in the moment, or in the atoms, His LIGHT causes a change in the body. This isn't a step by step alternative to become perfected, this is the Word of God.  If we learn that to God, LIGHT and DARKNESS are the same, because BOTH come from Him and are used to FOR OUR CHANGING BODY.

Now, Luke, being a physician, adds a little more to what Matthew had to say.

Luke 11: 34-36, ".....vs 35, Take heed therefore that the light, which is in thee be not darkness. (36) If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light."

It's the same as in Matthew, except here it is made clear that the only way for wholeness of light, is that NO PART be dark. Again, this is seeing "all things are of God", and if that be true, then how can we call something dark. The candle is the Holy Spirit causing His understanding to shine forth within us, and us giving Father the glory for ALL things. When we see no darkness, as we think of darkness or evil, then we have no darkness in us. Our eye, or the LIGHT within us is becoming SINGLE unto to Father. This brings back to my remembrance the "single event decreed by God."

ECC. 1:8-11, "All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it:  the eye is not satisfied with seeing, not the ear filled with hearing.  The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.  There is no remembrance of former things: neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after."

We changed BEFORE and can't remember it, and we are changing BACK to the real us and won't have remembrance of what we "fell" to believe about who we are.  There is a Truth of Father, that will take place not only in the natural earth, but in us as His earthen dwelling place:

"All the earth will be filled with My glory."

Speak to your body. Allow the LIGHT to change the atoms within the body, both physical and corporate body. Meditate on the LIGHT of His Truths, and let it shine forth to every atom of our body . The changing of the body is already started. Accept what you will, reject what you will. But, there are those who knows that this is happening now. Another re-happening.

I'm not sure if Father will give more on this study. If so, I'll post it.  If not, until the next Word.

Be blessed.


"One man manifesting Christ, is better than 100 men preaching about Him.
May Christ Manifest in You, Daily.
