LORD'S LIGHT MINISTRY
(Linda Keith)
The Changing of the Body part 9.
I learned something, that I already knew, but, just sort of allowed it to
slip my mind. You know, Father is so very good to us in His Teaching. I
don't know about the rest of you, but, I need to slow down and just allow
Him to be Him. Sometimes, when doing a study, I will think, "Well, this
must be all, because I can't THINK of anything to add." Then, a week or two
will pass and Father just non-chalantly, says, "Oh, Linda, here is more on
what I was talking to you about." It's then that I AM lifted into the realm
that He is talking from, and I listen to Him. It's glorious, the way Father
works with each of us.
I received an email from a brother, that taught me something. It taught me
to THINK WITH FATHER'S MIND. Praise His Holy Name!! I'm not sure if the
email was sent by accident and was meant to go to someone else or what. I
know I have done that; meant to send it to one person, but prematurely did
not erase an address, and enter a different one, and hit send, and it was
sent back to a person that I may have been reading an article they had sent.
The email went like this:

Now, at first, I was a little taken aback. (because I have always respected
and adored this brother and sort of looked to him, as having a father's
heart). THEN, Father started showing me, that this brother was being used
as a tool for Father's teaching and work within ME!! Father is so precious
to us!!
The work that Father did in this situation, was to tell me, LOOK AT THINGS
THE WAY I SEE THINGS! He was saying to me, "Take your focus off of YOU and
see AS I SEE." You know, sometimes, when Father is doing a work within us,
we sometimes get our little feelings hurt. Usually, it's when we are seeing
self, instead of seeking for HIM to show forth. When that happens, that's
when we need to realize, that SELF is being disturbed, NOT the nature of
Christ. The nature of Christ, NEVER gets disturbed by what someone says or
does. That's the AWAKENING, that Father is doing in us. That's the
CHANGING, that is happening! And we must understand that as this HAPPENING
takes place in our mind, OPERATING FROM THE MIND OF CHRIST, it is, also, a
change taking place in our body. Oh, the glorious MYSTERIES of God!!
I was talking, a little while back, with Bro Bill Madison. We were just
speaking about whatever the Spirit brought forth. Bro Madison brought John
1:29 to my attention. I have read this scripture a hundred times, and had
not really received the depth of it. He said, "Do you realize that this
Word tells us, that if Jesus TOOK the sin of the world, no one after His
Resurrection, was born in sin?" WOW!! How different is that from what
we've been taught all these years. All the people that are going around
saying, "I am a sinner, saved by grace." Incredible!!!
Then, in the last few days, I was reading a book by Floyd Watson, "The
Mystery of Godliness". When, what do I run across? These following words:
QUOTE: "The key is , not sowing thoughts in our heavens that are contrary
to the heart of our Father. Is our heart towards all men, "Father forgive
them for they know not what they do." Is there accusation and criticism, OR
, forgiveness "seven times seventy?" This is how we attune our hearts to
our Father's, for we wipe out our human concepts of folks and begin to see
them as the very image and likeness of God. No longer using human reasoning
or judgment, but recognizing that God made ALL in His likeness and image and
looked on us and saw good. I like what my friend said, "When we understand
all that happened at the cross and how sin was dealt with once and for all,
then, a sinner has not been born for 2,000 years, just incarnations of
God." We are hearing, Awake, Arise, Shake off the dust of 6000 years of
human understanding." UNQUOTE.
You may ask , "What does this have to do with the Changing of the body?"
It's what changes in the mind that will bring forth the Changing of the
Body. The thinking from the Christ Mind is what changes the body.
The medical field has shown that emotions such as; anger, bitterness,
hatred, belittling of others, UNFORGIVENESS, etc. has a direct link with
diseases. Ask your physicians. Thoughts and Words!! Keep in mind that
Jesus SPOKE to His Bones. That's a breathtaking thought! Life and death
are in the power of Words.
So , I think what Father is showing us, is that whatever and whoever comes
our way, we must SEE them as He sees them. HE wants us to see with the LIGHT
of the BLOOD that is truly our LIFE. You see, Father isn't aware of COLOR.
Whether it be a person's skin, or the blood. What He sees is HIMSELF, when
He looks at a person. When WE see as He does, we see ALL things and people,
who WE may have thought, as , "coming against us", as TOOLS OF GOD!!
How can there be UNFORGIVENESS when we SEE HIM, in a person or thing? Oh,
He's so good to us!! To me, this brings MORE of the manifestation OF HIS
LOVE, for that thing or person, actively alive in us. They are our very
God's TOOL, bringing Him forth IN US!! Hallelujah!!
This manifesting of Father's love through us, has an impact on these flesh
bodies. When we hold "thoughts" within us, they bring forth "words".
Words bring forth "action", and "action" brings forth CHANGE. (for either
LIFE or DEATH). When we think of Father's creating, we can see a Pattern:
Thought: Father's plan and purposes
Word: The Word spoke those purposes and plan.
Action: The Spirit brought the Word of His Thought into being.
Change: Spirit beings became Spirit beings in a flesh body.
How is the curse, reversed?
Thought: Our thoughts from the Mind of Christ returning us to our beginning.
Word: WE are living epistles. We are to SPEAK HIS WORDS.
Action: Father speaking forth though us.
Change: Change from mortal to immortal. ONLY Father being seen.
Doesn't He tell us, "call things that are not as though they are"? Jesus,
our Pattern did just this. Because Jesus SAW with the Spirit, not the
natural, He SPOKE in His very SPIRIT Being, Father's Words, and CHANGED
situations. In ALL people, in EVERYTHING, He saw Father and called forth
Father's DESIRE!! Once we see, we learn, once we learn we do. I thank
Father for the "little hurt feelings"!! He opened my eyes to see HIM in
this. Now, you know what I see? Father is bringing forth "Bright Stars",
from within His Body of Christ, to show forth HIM!! I will certainly give a
lot more attention to HIM, when "little hurt feelings" TRY to pop up, for it
is HIM teaching and it is HIS teaching that will cause the Change in the
Body. (not only physically, but corporately.) Hallelujah!! As we SEE who
and what we truly ARE, the Change will/IS manifesting. THOUGHTS AND WORDS
BRING CHANGE IN ALL THINGS, including our bodies. Praise His Name.
Be blessed.
"One man manifesting Christ, is better than 100 men preaching about Him.
May Christ Manifest in You, Daily.
