His Nature Part 1
Father has been showing me
that He is manifesting through some of His people, who are keeping their
focus on HIM----not imaginary flesh that many think they are. Now, you may
say "well, Linda, I am a flesh person, pinch me and I'll yell." If these
are your words, then your focus is in a mistaken identity.
Gen. 1:27, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God
created he him: ...."
John 4:24, "God is a Spirit...."
This plainly tells us what we were created as, and what we are. We
were "created in the image of God"; and His Word tells us that God is a
Spirit. This is exactly what we are. We are a Spirit! We are a
Spirit being, created in His image and we reside in a flesh body and have a
soul. The flesh body is the visible vehicle through which the invisible God
uses to show Himself through. And even TODAY, Father IS
changing that vehicle into a permanent house!!
Believe what you will, but, the Christ living His life through me is
speaking loudly, "This is the day of the change."
There are many "deep messaged" ministries out there. They know every
scripture there is and if an interpretation of the written Word doesn't
agree with their "scholarly interpretation," then, in their little groups
they laughingly say, "Who is this little upstart, to tell me I'm mistaken?"
I believe that it is Christ trying to show that person something. Age,
fame, experience in ministry means nothing when you are out of focus. Many
are so full of pride in "their" ministry and "their" knowledge, that if
Jesus were right in front of them, they would "show" HIM where He is
mistaken, not only about the Word that He would speak, but also in the tense
He uses!
I want to speak about some things that I prayerfully hope will seep
into the inwards of each person that reads this.
HEB 6:1-3, "Therefore LEAVING the principles of the doctrine of Christ,
let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance
from dead works, and of faith toward God. Of the doctrine of baptisms, and
of laying on of hands, and of RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, and of eternal
judgment. And this WILL WE DO, if God permit."
This scripture shows me that there is a revealing, learning,
applying, and a moving on, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to
EVERYTHING in the Bible.
Let's focus on salvation for a little bit.
Heb 6:1 "Therefore Leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ..."
Notice that we are not to stay in this realm of learning
salvation. Millions come to the experience of salvation and when asked,
"Have you received salvation?", "Oh yes," is the reply. But, when you tell
them that they do not have to die a physical death, they either think you're
nuts, or in a cult! LOL! They have never and aren't focusing on COMPLETE
SALVATION. Salvation is a three part experience; spirit, soul AND body.
(John 3:5-8 spirit, James 1:21 soul, Rom 8:23 body) Many are not
focusing on this last part of salvation of the body. We need to focus on
this! Focus on what Father sees!
And what about Father's NATURE?
It's sad that many Christians still believe that in the depth of
our being, that we are still of two natures, we are both good
and bad!! And that is because of FOCUS. They believe that we are both
righteous and sinful. They are going by the realm of
appearance, instead of seeing with the Mind of Christ, which we have NOW.
1Cor 2:16, "And who hath known the mind of the LORD, that he may instruct
him? But, we HAVE (present tense) the mind of Christ."
What is determining what we see, is the realm that we are seeing
through--the realm of appearance or the realm of the Spirit. When we see
through the realm of the Spirit, Father shows us REALITY--HIS REALITY. Some
will say, "you're playing make believe." But, the Holy Spirit will tell
you--"Rest in HIS REALITY; Live HIS REALITY. Don't allow your focus
to be lowered from HIS REALITY. See what He sees."
Folks, we don't have two natures working in us. We are NEW CREATURES in
Christ. The new creature resurrected with ONE NATURE--HIS NATURE.
Luke 11:34, "The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye
is single, thy whole body also is full of light: but when thine eye is evil,
thy body also is full of darkness."
When we see through carnal eyes, we see carnality; sickness,
wrongness in each other, then condemnation rears its ugly head. We see what
the carnal wants to see come forth from each other. We MUST exercise seeing
through the SPIRIT-ual eye.
What did Father inspire to be written?
Eph. 2:2-3, "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of
this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that
now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all
had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and WERE by NATURE
the children of wrath, even as others."
2Peter 1:3-4, (Phillips Version), "He has (past tense) by his own
action given us EVERYTHING that is necessary for living the
truly good life, in allowing us to know the one who has called us to him,
through his own glorious goodness. It is through this generosity that God's
greatest and most precious promises have become available to us men,
making it possible to escape the inevitable disintegration that lust
produces in the world AND TO SHARE IN GOD'S ESSENTIAL NATURE."
To believe otherwise, puts us right back to Eph 2:2-3 (with the
nature of the world). We MUST focus on our true nature---HIS NATURE!! The
old man died and we resurrected new creatures, we resurrected with ONE
NATURE--HIS! We have just become so use to hearing the old man's lies, that
we didn't doubt him and so, our focus has remained on TWO natures in us,
but, PRAISE GOD, HE has opened our eyes and mind--NOW we must give no
attention to anything, that is not of His nature and focus ONLY
on His nature coming forth through us. We need to take and hold on to the
simplicity of His truths. What we magnify, only gets bigger!!
When a thought that is carnal, and not of His nature comes forth,
and have us to condemn, then RISE UP INTO THE REALM THAT WE BELONG IN
and give our attention to HIS nature. Allow HIS compassion, and love to come
forth and manifest and as we do, we will see the flesh body manifest change.
Hallelujah!!
We have ONLY ONE NATURE. Which are you focusing on? Which tree are you
partaking of, the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, or the Tree of
Life?
We are Spirit beings--His Spirit. He is living HIS LIFE through us. We
have ONE NATURE-His. We cannot operate out of His Nature unless we KNOW
which nature we have. I love what I heard a brother say:
"Birth, not performance, determines identity."
We are born of God.
We have one nature--God's.
We resurrected with one nature.
Stand in resurrected life and watch things happen.
Amen and be blessed.
"You can understand why a child is afraid of the dark but it is a tragedy
when adults are afraid of the light."
May Christ manifest in you daily.
