Christ in You The Hope of Glory

If you are relying and following the Christ in you, you only have the hope of Glory, but not the Glory itself. There is no certainly or guarantee in hope. So what is missing?

We have been taught that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! And we can. However, the all that we can do is limited by the Christ in us and Doing is not Being.

Christ means Anointed or the Anointed One. It is the anointing, in you, that is the hope of Glory. It is not Jesus in you, but the Spirit in you. You can do all things by the Anointing in you. Jesus came to show us and reveal to us and impart to us, the Anointing/Spirit in us. He did not point to Himself, but to that which He was within.

Although Jesus accepted the title of Christ on 3 occasions, He always referred to the Father. He was the Anointed in the flesh, (Math 16:17 & Mark 14:61) but pointed to the Father. I can do nothing but that which I see the Father doing. I and the Father are one. If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.

Now if Christ be in you, then you are the Anointed/Christ in the flesh, for the Spirit dwells in thee. Yet knowing this will only bring you the HOPE of Glory. It will never bring you the GLORY itself!

Hope, elpis in the Greek, means favorable and confident expectation, an anticipation. Hope is defined in the dictionary as a desire with expectation of fulfillment; to long for with expectation. Expectation is defined as from expect: to look forward, suppose, think, anticipate. Now note, hope, expectation and anticipation are Not certainties. To be certain means to be fixed, settled, guaranteed, indisputable. If you have Christ in you, you only have the hope of glory, you do not have the guarantee, the indisputable and settled knowing that you will have or now have THE GLORY, THE FULNESSS OF GOD.

There are lots of hopes in Scripture. We have the hope of the promise (Acts 26:6), the hope or righteousness (Gal 5:5), the hope of the Gospel (Col 1:23), the hope of salvation (1Thess 5:8) and the hope in Christ (1Cor 15:19), as well as others. But where is the certainty of all of those hopes?

In the Old Testament (OT), the Anointing Oil was poured over the Priest. The oil representing the Spirit that would come. That Spirit is Christ in you. You have the Anointing/Spirit/Christ in you and it is the hope of Glory. But why is that Christ only a hope and not the certainty? Because Paul said , in 2Cor 5:5, that we received the earnest of the Spirit. Earnest is a banking term meaning, not the down payment, but a deposit given to hold the item, till the down payment can be secured. A down payment for the most part will either be five or ten percent of the purchased price. Paul says that we have received less than that!

Many signs and wonders were performed by the first disciples. Healings, miracles, raising the dead and even transporting the body from one spot to another in the blink of an eye. Acts tells us that the 120 were FILLED with the Holy Ghost. Filled is not five or ten percent. It means to the brim and overflowing. The early followers were full of the Spirit. Full of the Anointing and full of Christ. All that Jesus did, they could do and more said Jesus. But why could they perform all those miracles and turn the known world up side down and the sons of God today, don't seem able to overcome some small devil of carnal thought? Why? Because Jesus had imparted to them the Glory. He said to the Father, that the Glory thou hast given me, I have given them. It was the Glory, the Fullness of God, that made the difference.

Jesus displayed the Glory in everything He did, even to the point of transfiguring Himself in to pure light and making Moses and Elijah appear before the Apostles. He was able to calm the natural storms and walk on those same seas. He was able to disappear in the crowds and command all the forces of nature and He said that we could do this and more. So why can we not do this? Because we have settled for Paul's understanding that we only received an extremely small portion, the earnest and not the fullness of God.

The first fruits received it ALL, including the Glory and so did we all, but we have accepted the mindset that we only have Christ in us, the hope of Glory.

What happened to the fullness of Glory that Jesus gave to the Apostles and the 120 that were filled with the Spirit of God? Where did it go? Paul's writing to the Romans says that the whole earth waits for the manifestation of the Sons of God. Yet they had already been manifested in the Apostles, the 120, the 3000 and the 5000 that were added to the church. The Sons of God were turning the whole world around and perhaps that is why Saul was killing and trying to imprison them! Paul was preaching something to the Romans, that had already been manifested at the time of Jesus. Did he miss it? Was he telling the Romans to wait for them again? That they would come again!!!

The early church had the Glory, we settle for the Anointing/Christ. They had the power, we have the pittance. They had the Father, we settle for the Son. Something is amiss here?

Why can't you walk on water? Why can't you raise the dead and transport yourself, or transfigure yourself into pure light? Because you have settled for the Christ in you, the hope. Yes you can do all things through Christ, but the all is limited to the Christ and the hope. It is limited by the earnest Paul says you received and not the Glory given by Jesus.

The early Church had the Glory but through time, and a change from the Gospel of Jesus to Paul's Gospel, it was lost and forgotten. As the saying goes, if you don't use it, you lose it. Paul's Gospel was the Gospel of Christ in you the hope. Jesus' Gospel was the Glory of the Father. The fullness of God. Not the earnest of Christ.

The Glory of God, the Fullness of the Father is in the Ark. It was deposited in the Temple of DAVID and given to the Apostles and you as the rebuilt Temple, by DAVID. But just as the Ark was lost in the natural, it was lost in the spiritual. You lost the remembrance of the Ark, that you are, and settled for the Anointing/Christ. You sold your inheritance for a pot of porridge. The pot is great for the hungry soul, but the Glory is for LIFE. Ever wonder why you are never satisfied! Because you are never full. You have been eating from the pot and not from the Glory.

As a man thinketh, so is he. You think you are that which is Christ in you and you are. But if you continue to think that way, you will only have the hope of Glory, but never the Glory itself. We are still waiting for the re-manifestation of the son's because we have settled for the Christ instead of the Glory.

Paul said to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Bring back to newness the mind you once had and transform from the Christ/Anointing/Earnest mind to the GLORY you once had. Renew the mind and you will RE-NEW the GLORY.

You are the Glory. The Ark was wood (humanity) overlaid inside and out, with gold (divinity) and the fullness of the Glory of God was in the Ark. It still is. Don't sell yourself short for a pot of porridge that can only give you hope, when you can have it ALL.

There is no Glory in Christ, the hope. There is only Glory, in GLORY.

Namaste Glory
