Part 2
In the last part of this study, we saw that as Father enlightens us, we are to
LEAVE that place that we've been in, and go on, EVEN INTO PERFECTION. (the third
heaven). This is what this word "unto" means, INTO. (thank you, Jonathan
Mitchell). We are not to keep on laying the foundation of where we HAVE BEEN,
when He calls us up higher. IF we get to a place where we THINK there is no more
to learn, to experience and to BECOME, except to just sit and wait, we are in a
place of apostasy. Think that's a little strong? Well, let's look and see.
John 14:26, "...But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to you
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
Now, let me ask you something. Do you know all things? Do you remember your day
before the foundation of the world? We are to go on UNTIL ALL THINGS are
taught, and ALL REMEMBRANCE is brought forth from within us. To simply draw back
to old teachings is apostasy, UNLESS Father has called you to teach ONLY one
realm.
Heb. 6:3, "And this will we do, if God permit."
Many say, "yes but notice, it says IF Father permit...". (Heb 6:3) Well, did
you read this scripture, really well? Did you allow the Holy Spirit to point out
some things to you?
1)WE will do.
2) IF God permit.
#1, you notice, WE will do (go on into perfection) this. It doesn't say God will
take us into perfection. Although, knowing who you are, One with Him, you being
His Body, and having His Consciousness, Him living His Life through you, it is
HIM doing the doing. I do not believe that we can bring forth perfection without
knowing who we are. By not knowing who you are, you NATURALLY WAIT for Him to do
something that He HAS ALREADY DONE. Many say, "well I know He's finished His
work in the Spirit realm, but, not the natural realm". They say that because
they have not stepped into that Spirit realm, where they belong, because THEY
ARE SPIRIT BEINGS! You cannot receive the things of the Spirit with the natural
mind!!
#2, if you are One with Him, your will has become His will and He permits His
Own will done.
Ok, we've seen where He tells us to not stay in the same place, and to not lay
again the same ole doctrines. So, let's look at Hebrews again.
Heb. 10:39, "But we are not of them who draw back into perdition..."
Perdition
G684
Pðþëåéá
apoôleia
ap-o'-li-a
From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or
eternal):-damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious
ways, waste.
G622
Pðüëëõìé
apollumi
ap-ol'-loo-mee
From G575 and the base of G3639; to destroy fully (reflexively to perish, or
lose), literally or figuratively:-destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.
Draw Back
G5289
›ðïóôïëÞ
hupostoleô
hoop-os-tol-ay'
From G5288; shrinkage (timidity), that is, (by implication)apostasy:-draw back.
back.
Remember, apostasy is drawing back into something, or falling away from
something.
Christians have no problem with "being in Christ" or "Christ in you". They will
tell you that they believe both of these. But, then in the same breath,they
consider themselves, "just mortal man and man can do nothing.". This is a
DRAWING BACK! You cannot believe both, that you are just a mortal man who can
do nothing, and at the same time, believe that Christ lives NOT YOU. This is
HIS LIFE that is being lived, not ours, as mortal man.
Also, when Father spoke in Genesis that He FINISHED HIS WORK, and Jesus tells us
in John 17, that He FINISHED HIS WORK, and then we say, "well, we have to wait
for Father to make this possible or do it for us", THIS IS A DRAWING BACK! He
is waiting for us to walk into HIS FINISHED WORK. BECAUSE OF WHO WE ARE, not
who some tell us we are. When folks tell us that we are mortal man, it's
garbage, because HE tells us that we ARE, not will be, as HE IS. He tells us
that WE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM. And BEING Spirit Beings, as He is, we receive that
that was finished in the Spirit realm. Of course, you see what you're looking
for.
We must "exercise" being, until we can STAY in that third heaven. It is here
that Jesus' mind was while He walked the earth. Or we can wait our way into
apostasy. Believe what you will, but this is Truth. When Father says, "Put on
the mind of Christ,", He is not saying, "wait until I put it on you". In fact,
it's quite the opposite.
John 1:16, "A of (out from within) his fulness have ALL WE RECEIVED, and grace
for grace".
" "have received", past tense. And yet most are still waiting to receive His
all.
Col. 2:9-10, "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of (out from within) the
Godhead bodily. And ye ARE COMPLETE in him, which is the head of all
principality and power."
We NOW have all that is needed to walk into Him. Because we are One with Him.
To say any different from Father says is a DRAWING BACK! Back to Hebrews.
Heb.10:39, " we are of them that BELIEVE to the saving of the soul."
Father tells us to "be established in PRESENT TRUTH." Present truth IS NOT
foundation of doctrine that we DRAW BACK into. Our God is a present, always
moving, knowledge giving, and knowledge working into us, God.. We MUST BELIEVE
our way into perfection, manifesting. It is NOT MORTAL MAN believing, it is the
REAL YOU; the One that He is One with; it's the One Body made out of exactly
what Father is. That is not mortal man. Mortal man cannot and does not believe
in anything but WAITING!! Waiting for the FUTURE. But, let's look at , time.
In this third heaven, we have learned that there is time no longer.
Rev. 10:5-6, "And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and the earth lifted
up his hand to heaven, and swore by him that levity for ever and ever, who
created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things
that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there
should be time no longer."
Time is a non existing element that exists ONLY in the natural realm. Time WILL
NOT EXTEND ITSELF PAST THE PRESENT MOMENT! To Father and to some of us,
tomorrow doesn't exist. Yesterday doesn't exist, it is gone. It has vanished.
That just leaves NOW, PRESENT! Father only knows the PRESENT MOMENT. We were
set free the moment set, for us to be set free.
In Rev 10, the sea represents the ETERNAL. The earth represents TIME THINGS.
Mark 13:9-11, "But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to
councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought
before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. (hello
testimonies!!!!) And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But
when they shall lead you and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye
shall speak, neither do ye premeditate; but whatsoever shall be given you in
that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost."
Who was Jesus talking to, here? His disciples. Yet He said "it is not YOU that
speaks, it is the Holy Ghost!" Now this is going to upset some of you,
BUT......we have by far, by pasted the disciples of Jesus' day!! He was telling
them, that they were not mere mortal man, when the Holy Ghost spoke through
them. At the MOMENT , they were ONE with HIM. The disciples thought that "being
One with Him" , meant Him AND them. It does not mean that. To be ONE with Him,
means it's ALL HIM!! That's how "we ARE as HE IS!" We came out of Him, we were
what He was. And WE STILL ARE!! But, what you see is what you get. If you see
sin, you have DRAWN BACK. You see your soul, not saved, you have DRAWN BACK.
What did Jesus do on the Cross? He saved our soul and we were to walk into the
perfection that Father said we ARE. If you ARE as He IS, that means PRESENT, not
will be. To Father there is no future. It's the PRESENT MOMENT!! It's up to us
to step into that moment.
Remember the man that sat at the gates? He needed healing, right? How many
times was he walked past and was never healed? UNTIL, Peter and John walked
into the MOMENT that he was to be healed!!
Mark 13:10, "And THE GOSPEL must first be published among all the nations...."
Now, there was the gospel of repentance, the gospel of Pentecost and the gospel
of the Kingdom. This is JESUS, doing the teaching. What did He teach? The gospel
of the Kingdom. Notice, it is singular, gospel.People look for a physical Jesus
because they don't understand the Kingdom. The Kingdom is a people who know who
they are, and are showing forth FATHER, not waiting for Him to REDO what He has
done! As He is seen through HIS BODY, His KINGDOM is being seen more and more.
2 Peter 1:12, "Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always IN
REMEMBRANCE of these things, THOUGH YE KNOW THEM, and be ESTABLISHED IN THE
PRESENT TRUTH."
In remembrance of what things? (remembrance means we knew before)
1) vs 3= his divine power hath given unto us ALL things that pertain unto life
and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue.
2) vs 4= we are given promises. that by these ye might be partakers of the
divine nature.
3)vs 4= HAVING ESCAPED the corruption that is in the world through lust.
4)vs5-7= are given, faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience and
GODLINESS!!!
VS 9, "And he that lacketh these things IS BLIND, and CANNOT SEE AFAR OFF, and
HATH FORGOTTEN THAT HE WAS PURGED FROM HIS OLD SINS"!
This whole chapter would do you well to read it and BELIEVE IT.
To think or to say, "we are man and can do nothing" is contradicting of Father's
Word. He tells us:
Eph 4:23-24, "And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the
new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."
Tell me, does this sound like "just a mortal man who can do nothing!!" Can't
we see that we are as much a part of Father, as Father is of Himself!! We are
the glorious body of a glorious Father. I like the way Scott Paris put it:
Quote: "The LORD is in the earth today walking in His members as the anointing!"
Unquote. Amen and Amen.
Now, His Body IS NOT mere man!! His Body is attached to that glorious Head and
we must know that we are equal with our Father, our Head! It's NOT blasphemous
to think this. How can we not be equal if we are of His very making and
substance?? Folks, we must not just VISIT that third heaven, we MUST LIVE
THERE!! And we can't live there and keep DRAWING BACK to childish thinking.
This is not pleasing to Father.
We must come into Fatherhood Consciousness. And one thing that is keeping many
from doing this, is FEAR. Fear of what others will say. Fear of not seeing
MIRACLES worked. That's where the focus is; on works and miracles, not on the
One who does them. I tell you, PUT OFF CONCERNING THE FORMER!!
DRAWING BACK:
1) Know Jesus no more after the flesh. (2 Cor. 5:16) Oh! we can never be as
Jesus was. BREAKING NEWS!!! WE ARE!!
2) As He is in this world so are we. (1John 4:17) Oh! Well not right now, we're
not, we still sin. BREAKING NEWS!!! Jesus took sin to the cross!!
3) He spoke to His body. (PS 22:17) Oh! But there's still illness in my body.
BREAKING NEWS!!! That's what you're looking for, so you find it; try speaking to
YOUR body with Father's authority. He IS our Example! And this is NOT Kenneth
Copeland's words, this is OUR EXAMPLE'S example!!
This is third heaven thinking and speaking. How can anyone be in Father's will,
when they don't believe His Words. There is no waiting....until. You cannot do
what you don't believe. Father is not going to do it for us, He's already made
it possible for us to do it. Think you are mortal man, or think and BELIEVE
you're who He says you ARE. You manifest what you believe!!
Heb. 10:38, "Now the just shall live by faith; but if any MAN DRAW BACK, my soul
shall have no pleasure in him."
Notice who it is who draws back: MAN!!! Now, do you STILL want to believe that
you are mere man who can do nothing?? We have not been mere man since Jesus
died. (even before that). It's just that we've believed what we've been told.
Why is it so much easier to believe a lie, than to believe the truth?
We are One with our beautiful, wonderful , loving, uncomplicated Father. And if
HE is looked for in any person, He will be seen. Try looking for Him instead of
sin, soul stuff and see how He transforms HIMSELF, right before your eyes.
