A Message to the Glory of the Lord Jesus Christ

From your brother in the faith, Michael Shevlane

 

Introduction

As many who read these lines will know, there have been many wonderfully anointed articles and books penned on the subject of the restitution of all things, the coming of Christ in His corporate Body, and such other subjects as pertain to the increase of His Kingdom. The intent of this book is to provide a simple explanation and summary of some of these wonderful truths. Anything written within these pages will no doubt have been expounded on in greater depth by other writers at other times. Indeed, I believe my object to be that very simplicity itself. Thus, I will not seek to overwhelm anyone with great knowledge (which I am certainly not in possession of), but rather provide an introduction of sorts into this marvelous revealing of God’s love, which He is accomplishing in the hearts of all His called and chosen. I would further state that no man, save Jesus Christ, knows the Father fully, and thus our knowledge and apprehension of Him is an ever increasing revelation, as we grow in the Spirit and are conformed into the image of the only Begotten. I would encourage all who read these lines to follow on to know Him with more and more of a fullness, till such time as He is truly "All in all", as the Holy scriptures have promised. It would be a grave error for any of us to regard ourselves at having "arrived" at any destination at which we may stop our spiritual sojourn. We must ever thank God for His truths as we receive them, and follow on to know yet more of Him. The religious world is littered with dead denominations that serve as stark, stagnant signposts – monuments of God’s movements centuries ago. They have sunk their cold roots into the sand, thinking it to be rock, and have missed the Lord as He moves on, bidding us to simply follow.

Dear brothers and sisters, we are in a time of great anticipation, of great revelation, and also a time of great deception and apostasy. Many of God’s children are in bondage to the ugly whore of religion, with all its empty ceremonies, fleshly creeds, and self-righteous condemnation. May we all pray for the deliverance of the saints at this time, even as God delivered Israel out of Egypt with a mighty hand, that they might worship Him in the wilderness. And may we also be found ministering the love of Christ and the reconciliation of the cross to the whole world, for whom His precious blood was shed, a blessed "ransom for all, to be testified in due time." (1 Timothy 2:6)

Finally, be encouraged, saints of God – the Lord has always had a plan, from the very blueprint of the cosmos to the intricate details in our lives, and from the orbits of each planet, and arrangement of each solar system, to the lowly route of the ant colony, as they wind their way through the dust and dirt of our world. And above all, He has a plan to gather all things into His Son, Jesus Christ, "whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross". (Colossians 1:20)

The grace of God be with you all in Christ. Amen.
