Before
reading this part of this study,
I suggest that you read "When
the Changing of the Mind Began".
(now on my webstie), and then
read this part. Linda
STUDY OF
GENESIS #5 2/4/09
In our
last part of this study, I
shared with you what the word
"God" meant in Genesis 1. It
meant "PLURAL GOD". And
remember, IT IS NOT "PLURAL GODS"
There is ONLY ONE GOD. (Eph.
4:6).
"One God and Father of all, who
is above all, and through all,
AND IN YOU ALL".
Does not the bible tell us that
HE IS TO BE ALL IN ALL? IF He is
ALL in you, then there is no
longer a you, there is JUST
HIM. Now understand, God has
and did have a PLAN to become
this. Later we will be looking
at the Garden, but for now, let
me say this; BEFORE the
MAN that God created IN HIS
(God's) OWN IMAGE, came into
this realm of the flesh, you
could not tell the difference in
the MAN and GOD. AND IT IS
STILL THE SAME!! Right now,
in this earthen realm, just LIKE
THE MAN JESUS, we let go of the
of the "memory" of WHO we ARE.
Yes it is true. Let me show you
the scripture that is more
clearly spoken:
translation out of The Living
Bible:
Philippians 2:3-8 I am
going to read all of the
scriptures, but I want to point
out verse5-7.
VS 3,
Don't be selfish: don't live to
make a good impression on
others. Be humble, thinking of
others as better than yourself.
(4) Don't just think about your
own affairs, but be interested
in other's, too, and in what
they are doing. (5) YOUR
ATTITUDE SHOULD BE THE KIND
THAT WAS SHOWN US BY JESUS
CHRIST, WHO THOUGH HE WAS GOD
, HE DID NOT DEMAND AND CLING
TO HIS RIGHTS AS GOD. HE LAID
ASIDE HIS MIGHTY POWER AND
GLORY, TAKING THE DISGUISE OF A
SLAVE AND BECAME LIKE MAN".
You see, HE WAS GOD.
Then, like now, there were not
TWO GODS, there was only ONE.
God (Eloheim) stepped out of
that invisible SPIRIT REALM and
stepped into a flesh and blood
body. He was STILL GOD. Now,
think of us, the MAN spoken of
in chapter 1, that was in God's
Image. We WERE a SPIRIT BEING,
just like God was. We, also,
stepped out of the SPIRIT REALM,
(that invisible realm) and
stepped into flesh bodies. JUST
LIKE GOD DID. When God stepped
into a flesh body, HE called
HIMSELF, "THE SON OF GOD". Now,
look at what WE are told;
1John
3:2, "Beloved, NOW ARE
WE SONS OF GOD , but it does
not yet appear what we SHALL
BE: but we know that when
HE shall appear , WE SHALL BE
LIKE HIM, for we shall see HIM
as He is."
Christianity is WAITING
TO BE SONS OF GOD, but what does
the BIBLE tell us here? We
ARE SONS OF GOD, NOW!!
You see, when Jesus laid aside
His Deity, He thought as a man,
HE HAD TO LEARN, just like we
are doing. Remember HE IS OUR
PATTERN!
Heb.
5:8 "Though HE WERE A SON,
YET HE LEARNED obedience
by the things which He
suffered." Now, who is
being spoken about , here"
JESUS. And Who was JESUS? HE WAS
GOD IN THE DISGUISE of A HUMAN
MAN. But, when God took on the
form of a flesh man, He laid
aside HIS MEMORY OF EVER BEING
GOD, so that HE could be just
like a flesh man. We don't know
a lot about the life of Jesus,
before He was thirty, but you
just read, HE LEARNED! This is
what we are doing. God is
showing us how to REMEMBER WHO
HE MADE US AS, HIMSELF!! Our
journey here in the earthen
realm, is to LEARN all that we
had and still have
(John
1:16) and to how to use
it, and see as He sees. Our mind
lowered when we stepped into
this flesh realm. We no longer
saw as God saw, we no longer
thought as God thought, and we
became more believing in all
that we saw in the earthen
realm, than we did in the Spirit
realm. Our journey is to learn,
(or remember) and to have the
dominion that God gave us in
Gen. 1. Now, just as Jesus
remembered WHO He was, (when He
rose from the dead), this is
what we are doing. WE ARE
FOLLOWING THE PATTERN! And what
are we told?
"Know
Jesus NO MORE after the flesh".
As we learn or remember
WHO Jesus really was, we are not
to know God any longer as the
flesh man, Jesus. He is Who He
has always been, GOD!
Now,
back to 1 John 3:2: It tells us
that we ARE SONS OF GOD,
BUT IT
DOES NOT YET APPEAR
WHAT WE SHALL BE.
It does not YET appear; this
means that at some time, IT
SHALL APPEAR. This is where some
christians are at , right now.
But, let's finish the rest of
the scripture;
when He
shall appear, WE SHALL BE
LIKE HIM... Now
remember, at our beginning, we
WERE LIKE HIM, WE WERE HIS
IMAGE, WE WERE HIM, BECAUSE WE
WERE IN HIM. OK let's go on:
FOR WE
SHALL SEE HIM AS as HE IS.
OK, Where does He live?
IN US. WHO are we trying to be
like? HIM. Right now, all we see
is flesh and blood. But, we
should not forget that GOD WANTS
TO LIVE IN THIS VISIBLE REALM;
HE WANTS TO BE SEEN; HE WANTS TO
BE ALL IN ALL. That means, He
wants to be EVERYTHING THAT YOU
ARE, ONLY HE WANTS US TO BE SEEN
AS HE MADE US< HIS IMAGE, AS
HIM. You see, we are not living
OUR LIFE, we are living HIS
LIFE. This is what we are
learning.
IN HIM
WE LIVE AND HAVE OUR BEING.
As we learn, and are open
to what His Spirit is teaching
us, the more someone looks at
YOU, they see HIM. WE ARE THE
PLURAL HIM. ONE IN HIM. His is
in everything and HIS plan is
that He IS ALL IN ALL. We are
returning to WHO WE REALLY ARE.
It appears that we are not there
yet, (at least in our thinking)
but HE MADE THE PLAN AND IT WILL
BE AS HE PLANNED IT. UNTIL we
become (REMEMBER) OURSELF as He
created us, in His image, we are
the Lord God on the earthen
realm, CREATING WITH THE CARNAL
MIND, but we are told,
YOU
HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.
As we receive these revelations
from God, the more we learn to
USE THE MIND OF CHRIST. We MUST
remember; the word "CHRIST"
means the anointing of God. and
what is the "ANOINTING"? IT IS
THE LIFE OF GOD FLOWING
THROUGH A PEOPLE. This is
HIS PLAN, not ours, because WE
have forgotten who we are. God
sees us the way HE created us,
not the way WE THINK WE ARE. God
doesn't change, our MINDS HAVE
CHANGED and began believing what
the carnal mind learned and
believed, when it started
forgetting.
I feel
that some of you might be
asking; "How can you say that we
are exactly as Jesus was? well
look at scripture again;
"He
(God) is NO RESPECTOR OF
PERSONS". (Acts 10:34)
This means, He did not give
anyone more of Himself, than
another person. THIS INCLUDES
JESUS!! God did not give Jesus
any more than He gave us. He
loves ALL the same. It is MAN
who has taught us that God loves
Jesus more; and that God gave
Jesus all that God was, but
didn't give His All to us; or
that WE cannot do all that Jesus
did. IF God gave to Jesus, and
loved Jesus more than us, then
that makes God a liar! And He is
not a liar. It is what we have
been taught, OUT OF RELIGION
that has made us believe lies!!
(Rom.
3:5) And we must remember
that "the only begotten son" ,
was not JUST ONE MAN! That son
was a many membered body of
God's Reflection.
John
1:16, 1John 4:17, Acts 17:48,
Philippians 2:15, Acts 13:47,
Col. 3:3
Remember
it is GOD'S PLAN, not ours. HE
WANTS US TO AWAKEN TO HIS TRUTH.
This is why He tells us,
"RE-NEW
YOUR MIND" "RE" tells us
that we had a different mind and
He wants us to go back to it.
And what happens when/as we
renew this mind? WE ARE
TRANSFORMED!! Back to WHO AND
WHAT GOD SAYS WE ARE< WHAT HE
CREATED US AS< WHICH IS
HIMSELF!!
(Romans
12:2) "Be NOT conformed to THIS
WORLD, but be TRANFORMED by the
renewing of your mind".
What does "conformed mean to us?
It means; don't worry about what
others say; don't let anyone
take HIS TRUTH from you; don't
let anyone take away what HE has
given you; don't let man tell
you that you are NOTHING,
because you are as HE IS; don't
let people call you "crazy",
because they are not open minded
enough to believe GOD'S TRUTHS.
Sure it is uncomfortable; it is
sometimes suffering, but didn't
our PATTERN go through the same
thing? Are we any better to have
to go through OUR SUFFERING
because others won"t believe?
1Tim
1:16. What happened when
Jesus came, saying that He was
the Son of God? They said that
He was blaspheming; He was
lieing; that He was teaching
false teaching. So what should
WE expect when we say what we
are learning? And believe me, I
have been called EVERYTHING!!
When I teach that the devil has
been destroyed, they call me a
liar, a false teacher. Why?
because their preachers and
pastors have not received this
revelation. But what is more,
what does the BIBLE tell us?
(Heb.2:14-15). One person
who receives these teachings,
tells me that I don't understand
that scripture correctly, BUT, I
don't add to it and I don't take
away from it. But I say, I
BELIEVE what the BIBLE says, not
what man says. Some people NEED
the devil in their life, so they
can blame the devil , when the
man does ungodly . They need
someone to put the blame on
instead of themselves. But that
is OK, because they will come to
KNOW TRUTH. This is what happens
when we believe man, instead of
God. But God says,
"all
will come to understand, because
the Spirit will teach us ALL
THINGS!". We cannot
condemn these people, they just
are not open minded, they want
to believe things that they we
taught as babes, things that
were taught 100 years ago. But
what does God tell us?
"BE
ESTABLISHED IN PRSENT TRUTH".
And in time, they
will. So be strong, don't let
anyone rob you of what God is
showing you.
In the
next part, we are going to look
at the "Garden".
In Him,
LOVE. Linda
It is
understandable for a child to be
afraid of the dark; but, why
would an adult be afraid of the
LIGHT?
