THE POLLUTION
OF GOD'S WORD part 4
I was talking, via email, to a wonderful, loving brother, and he
suggested that I ponder over Isaiah 52. So I did. I pondered, and pondered
and pondered. And I ask Father to please show me ,what it was that He
wanted me to see , of His Truth. But, before I proceed with this study, I
want to share something that I had never noticed before.
I turned to Gen. 2:21, "AND THE LORD GOD CAUSED A DEEP SLEEP TO FALL UPON
ADAM..."
I have looked and looked throughout the Bible, and I can't see anywhere,
where Adam woke up. This Adam, was the man who was created in God's image.
Now , Adam was still the Adam that God had created. He had not been formed
in the flesh yet. I have a question, if anyone could enlighten me on this,
I would appreciate any thoughts you could share on this. The question is
this; Could this "lower life" be an educating dream, that we, as being
created in His image,are the ones who are awakening from that sleep? It
brought to mind, when I was younger and was working, as a welder, in a steel
mill. I worked the midnight turn, and after dinner, I would sleep until
about 10pm. My Dad would come into my bedroom and gently shake me and say,
"Linda, Linda, honey it's time to wake up and get ready for work." This
awakening, is telling us something.
Isaiah 52:1, "AWAKE, AWAKE; PUT ON THY STRENGTH, O ZION; PUT ON THY
BEAUTIFUL GARMENTS, O JERUSALEM, THE HOLY CITY; FOR HENCEFORTH THERE SHALL
NO MORE COME INTO THEE THE UNCIRCUMCISED AND THE UNCLEAN."
Here in verse 1, it speaks to me, of those of us, who are awakening to the
truth of who we are. And it just reinforces the truth, that WE (as that new
man, Christ=Father's Life) , and to "put on thy strength". And WE have to
"put on thy beautiful garments." (love, joy and peace=His Nature.) Now, we
know that it is Christ who lives in these bodies, not us. And if we don't,
if we are thinking that it's us AND Him, then that makes us double minded.
But, all through the NT, it keeps telling us who we are. And I do know,
that we've been going through a process, I am not denying that. BUT, as we
go through this study, we will see that there IS a part that WE must play.
And as we do play our part, in the manifesting of Christ on earth, we must
understand WHO we are, before we can start saying, "WE can do it, We can do
anything! YES it is Father who is doing the doing, BECAUSE IT'S HIS LIFE
that is being lived , through us. So, IF it is HIS LIFE, can WE do , as HE
leads US TO DO? ABSOLUTELY!!!! Without that understanding who WE are, I
would say , yes, you're right, we can do NOTHING.. Also, notice "henceforth
there will NO MORE come unto thee, the UNCIRCUMCISED and the UNCLEAN".
Father will bring unto us, those who HE has prepared the hearts of, to hear
HIS WORD. NOT ALL PEOPLE, but those ordained to this realm. But, so many
people are saying , "well Jesus, Himself, told us:
John 15, 4-7, "Abide in me, and I IN YOU. As the branch cannot bear fruit of
ITSELF EXCEPT it abide in the VINE; no more can ye, EXCEPT ye abide in me.
(5) I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that ABIDETH IN ME, and I IN HIM,
the same BRINGETH FORTH MUCH FRUIT; for WITHOUT me YE CAN DO NOTHING. (6)
IF a man abide NOT in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and
MEN gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (7) IF YE
ABIDE IN ME AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, ye shall ask what ye will and it
shall be done unto you."
I see a couple of things in these verses. First of all, we must understand
WHO Jesus is talking to here. If you look at 14:22, we see that it is
Judas, who is asking questions of Jesus. And THEN, we must understand WHEN
these Words of Jesus' were spoken. Jesus HAD NOT died, been buried and
resurrected YET. Which tells us, that He was talking to men who DID NOT have
the Holy Spirit living in them YET. Oh yes, they followed Him, but HE WAS
NOT ABIDING IN THEM YET AND THEY WERE NOT ABIDING IN HIM! So no, it was
absolutely true, that they could do nothing of themselves. BUT, that is
NOT the case WITH US! HE ABIDES IN US AND US IN HIM! And what and who
abides in us is CHRIST. Christ means anointing, anointed one, and the
anointing IS FATHER'S LIFE. So, to say that WE (as His anointed one) can
do nothing, then we pollute HIS Word. And we do know that Christ can do all
things, for it is Father's Life who is actually doing it and saying it.
There IS NO US! It is ONLY Father's LIFE , IN US doing the doing and
speaking the speaking.
ISAIAH 52:2, "SHAKE THYSELF FROM THE DUST: ARISE, AND SIT DOWN, O JERUSALEM;
LOOSE THYSELF FROM THE BANDS OF THY NECK, O CAPTIVE DAUGHTER OF ZION."
Here AGAIN, we are hearing Father say, "YOU shake YOURSELF from the dust,
(which is this earthly thinking that we've been doing, even though the Word
has been telling us, all along, "ye have the mind of Christ") . It is HIM
that is living, not the person we were; and if it's Him living, then HIS
mind IS in us too; and until we stop allowing the dust, that is covering HIS
mind , to go, we will NEVER have the full use of the mind of Christ. It's
all where our focus is at. If we allow, past teaching to tell us, "well
we're in a process and have to wait until Father does it....". Well, Jesus
said, "I have FINISHED the work You sent Me to do". If He said it, He
means it and if He means it, then it has to be true! Just as hard as it
was to move from the rapture message, into this Kingdom message, it will be
as hard for some, to not accept this Word that Father is saying. Do we know
why, there will ONLY be a few Hand picked, who enter into the manifestation
of Christ through us? Because most will be waiting for Father to do
something , that He has already done!! We're waiting for His finished Work
to be done, just like some are waiting for the rapture. Oh Father, please
help our unbelief!! Who is Jerusalem? Who is Zion? We are. He's saying
ARISE , HEAR what I AM is saying. And "sit down", ", sit down means to
REST. To REST, is to LIVE on the ASSURANCE of who He is telling us, we
are. To rest, does NOT mean to sit and watch. If you notice, when Father
was creating, it said that on the 7th day He rested; and THEN, it turns
right around and says He did MORE WORK!! Is HE our Pattern or not?
AGAIN , His Word says, "YOU LOOSE YOURSELF from the bands of thy neck."
(bands, are the thinking, that keeps us bound to UNBELIEF , unbelief in
our part in this wonderful manifesting of Him. He has given all that is
needed, to do as He says. If I give you hands, eyes, a mind, and a gift
that is all wrapped up, do you expect ME to untie the bow, open the box for
you? No, you don't'. You open it up and you use it. Well, this gift, of
CHRIST'S life, was given, so that WE would believe what He's told us, and
use it. It's ALL Father is IN US, why aren't we taking what He has given us,
and do our part, instead of waiting for Him to do, what He's NOT going to
do. WE ARE NOT who we were! WE ARE FATHER'S LIFE, but we're not doing our
part. It was Father who spoke, but it was Jesus who MOVED HIS LIPS!
ISAIAH 52; 3-5, all 3 verses speak to me of "the old man" in that fallen
state of Adam.
52: 6, here in this verse, if we take out the words that King James put
in, this verse would read: "THEREFORE MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME:
THEREFORE, IN THAT DAY THAT , HE THAT DOTH SPEAK ; BEHOLD, I"
What I'm seeing here is , "those that KNOW my NATURE" to truly KNOW
something, it must be believer and lived. And in order to live it, it must
FIRST BE BELIEVED! "In that day..", What day? The day when we accept the
truth of who we are, not who we will be, :"He that doth speak; behold I".
What did Jesus say? "When you see Me , you've seen the Father". Well in
the day that we accept who we are, and what part we must play in this plan
(we as Christ on this earth), He will speak, but it will be us moving the
lips, and when they see us, they WILL see the Father. It was through Christ
that Father created the world, It was through Christ that Father spoke, but
it was Christ, who DID what Father thought and spoke and showed what was to
be done. I think this verse is beautiful!!
JOHN 14:9-13, "JESUS SAID UNTO PHILIP, HAVE I BEEN WITH YOU SO LONG, AND YET
HAST THOU NOT KNOWN ME, HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH SEEN THE FATHER: AND HOW
SAYEST THOU THEN, SHEW US THE FATHER?"
If you notice, the next 2 verses give the answer, with the first word of
each verse: BELIEVE!!
"BELIEVEST THOU NOT THAT I AM IN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IS IN ME? THE
WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, I SPEAK NOT OF MYSELF; BUT THE FATHER THAT
DWELLETH IN ME HE DOETH THE WORKS."
"BELIEVETH ME THAT I AM IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER IN ME: OR ELSE BELIEVE
ME FOR THE VERY WORK'S SAKE."
"VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME, THE WORKS THAT I
DO SHALL HE DO AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE SHALL HE DO; BECAUSE I GO UNTO
MY FATHER."
"AND WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK IN MY NAME(NATURE) THAT WILL I DO THAT THE
FATHER MAY BE GLORIFIED IN THE SON."
I want to go to Isaiah 52:14
ISAIAH 52:14, "AS MANY WERE ASTOUNDED AT THEE; HIS VISAGE WAS SO MARRED MORE
THAN ANY MAN, AND HIS FORM MORE THAN THE SONS OF MEN."
His "visage", (facial expression, which we ARE) WAS marred, (was corrupted
by the old man). His glorious visage has always been there, within us, but
the old man was in such a fallen state (or dream?) that he didn't KNOW it!
But, NOW, we, as the new creatures, Christ=anointed one of God, are showing
forth His glorious visage. Hallelujah!! IF we believe it. "For as a man
thinketh (eth means, continually) as a man is continually thinking, so is
he."
VS 15, "SO SHALL HE SPRINKLE MANY NATIONS; THE KINGS SHALL SHUT THEIR MOUTHS
AT HIM; FOR WHICH HAD NOT BEEN TOLD THEM SHALL THEY SEE; AND WHICH THEY
HEARD NOT, SHALL THEY CONSIDER."
By Father's might and love, "the kings shall shut their mouths at him." (at
who? At the Christ that is coming forth.) (the ruling of the thoughts
that, in the past, we have allowed to become a part of us.) 1Cor 6:16, Prov
23:7) Those thoughts are silenced, as we focus on HIM, that is living, not
us, every time a thought, that we know is NOT of Him begins to form, their
"mouths" shall be shut. Oh Hallelujah!!! We've learned a lot, by the Holy
Spirit, since the day when we use to say "I am a sinner saved by grace", and
we Must ARISE (the Christ that is living) and REST (have assurance in who He
tells us we are ) and in what HE expects US to walk into. "for that which
had not been told them, they shall SEE; and that which they had not heard
shall be considered. (discerned and understood.) This is being fulfilled,
as we speak, NOW!!
Closing this part of the study, I'd like to share something that a wonderful
brother said:
Quote: "Christ implants a thought into our spirit, this thought, which
comes from our spirit, logically works through the law of our mind, also
called our soul, out into our physical world, the body of our affairs.
Christ is Life, Christ is Light, Christ is assurance of prosperity and
health. As He is so are we, in this world.
As these thoughts come from Christ it follows that they enter our soul, and
as our soul prospers, they manifest in health and prosperity for the body of
our affairs, our physical world."
,
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, as you
soul prospers. (3 John 1:2)
to be continued.
"One man manifesting Christ, is better than 100 men preaching about Him.
May Christ Manifest in You, Daily.
