Christ Is ALL

THE MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION IN CHRIST

The Mystery of redemption in Christ is a gradual opening of Spiritual Consciousness until the full and total realization of the Christ is expressed and manifested in our outer world.

What is true in the heaven (spirit) must become true in the earth (natural). This unsearchable wisdom is a continual revelation of Christ; an ever-progressing of conscious awareness of Truth until, within the seeker of Christ, He is manifestly unveiled.

FOREWORD

This will be the first writing I have done in nineteen months. We have now moved into our new house, and it has become our home. I feel really blessed to have this new home to live in (thanks Mom) and I think everyone feels the same way too. I know that Judy loves the home and I am happy for her...she deserves it. I know the kids like it as well, Janelle has told me so, and you can tell Richard and Joshua do. I look forward to the unfolding of years that are ahead of us. I know that it has got to be good, for God "is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him," and that is exactly what I am. I am a man who is seeking God. Always! I am using my life to seek after God and to know Him in the Fullness of Himself. My greatest desire is to know CHRIST and the power of His resurrection. To know what it really means to be in Christ. As I see it, to be in the fullness of Christ is to live in the reality of the New Creation. This ambition has become my lifelong quest.

To come into the full knowledge of the New Creation is God realization. This is the creation that was declared from the beginning, a relationship of ONEness. Oneness is what we see declared in the beginning and manifested at the end.

My life is spent in search of this Reality as my everyday experience. My spiritual life changed in the beginning of the year 2000. It was then that a new desire to ascend into a higher understanding, a higher consciousness, of what it is that is finished, and how that changes my life.

The message of Christ Jesus is an eternal message. There will be no end to the reality of Jesus' death and resurrection. I will always be a student of the death and resurrection of Christ, for it is the removing of the OLD so that the NEW may be established. To study the death of Christ Jesus is to find out that the "self" you believed yourself to be in this world is dead. It is an illusion that you have a selfhood apart from God. The death of Christ Jesus is the key that unlocks the Truth of who you believe your "self" to be.

The "self" that you believe yourself to be has everything to do with your expression of Christ. As long as we believe ourselves to be ordinary human beings under the curse of sin-consciousness, that is what we will manifest. If we can see that we are Spirit-beings having a human experience, then a change will began to occur within our consciousness; and when that change takes place within us--in consciousness--then manifestation will take place in our human experience.

This is the shift that has taken place within my consciousness. I can see that it is no longer my personal "self" that God is trusting in to be who I am, it is Christ my real Self. If God no longer looks to my personal selfhood to please Him why should I? I have died and it is no longer me, my life is hid in Christ in God. I must now look to the Christ within me as my true identity, and that Identity is the one God accepts. The message of the finished work of Christ is the genesis of understanding, it is the entrance into finding out who it is we really are--who it is that God made us to be.

To find yourself in the finished work of Christ is the foundation of awareness. It is the portal into finding out who it is that we really are--spiritual beings birthed of God. The finished work of Christ Jesus is the cornerstone, the Rock of our salvation: It is the Sure foundation, the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets. This Message is where I will build my revelation of Christ upon where the gates of hell cannot prevail.

With this planting of the death of Christ being the death of my selfhood apart from God I am driven on to know who and what is my True Identity, now that God in Christ has finished the work He declared in the beginning. God's plan has always been man in His image, and through the work of Christ Jesus He has finished that purpose. The only thing left to do is for us to wake up to our true identity through our relationship with Christ. "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light." -Eph. 5:14.

We must wake up and see that all that Christ is we are in Him, and there is to be such a manifestation of this Truth that creation is delivered from the bondage of this present corruption. To some degree we who are searching for the fullness of Christ should be setting creation free from the lie of Adamic sin-consciousness. Setting creation free can be anything from helping someone in need to doing the works of Jesus Christ, and even more, as He said we would do. But we will never do the greater works, or even lesser works, until we have higher degree of Christ-consciousness. We have to know who it is we are as FACT, not fiction. For we will never demonstrate more than what we have attained.

God is not looking for a single man to work through in this new day of unfoldment. He is waiting for us, as the body of Christ, to ascend into the full knowledge of who it is we really are. This is not a lazy man's work, for it takes everything you have and more..."for few there be that find it." We can ascend into the full knowledge of the Truth. Some MUST enter into His Rest that has been finished from the foundation of the world. We shall if we follow on to know the Lord within the midst of us. "Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:" Matthew 25:34, NKJV.

Who you and I are in the flesh I am not to know any longer. Then who is it I am to know? I am to know the New Man in you and in me. That is who I am! That is who you are! This physical manifestation according to the flesh is not who I am. I am spirit, and soul, and body, but most people know me by a false representation of self. People in general only see my body and its actions of good and evil, but those who have come to know the Real me know me, to some degree, by my inner Self.

Most of the self that the world sees is NOT the Real me. I have an inward man, an inward Self; and it is not me, personal self, but it is Christ the Real Self. I live my life in the faith that the Son of God is my true Self; for I died and it is no longer I who live. My true identity exists in Christ in God, and anything less than that is not who I am. If the flesh man is not who I am then it is a lie, and therefore an untruth, an unreality. Truth is Spirit, comes forth from Spirit, is maintained in Spirit. Therefore, the only Truth about me is Spirit; but Spirit is expressed through Soul, and manifested in Body as form.

The Truth of Spirit is to be expressed through Soul and seen as Body: The invisible Truth of Spirit becomes visible through the Soul manifested as Body. Christ is all and in all, and what is true in heaven must be true in earth..."as in heaven, so in earth." But, thus far, we have been seeing through a glass darkly.

The salvation of the soul is the process whereby we go through the renewing of the mind into the full understanding of the Mystery of Redemption in
Christ. In the realm of heaven, the Higher Dimension, the truth of Spirit exists as Reality; but in our experience as men of the earth, we experience the untruth of the lie of darkness. This lie, the spirit of error, is ignorance of the Light of Truth; and this lie separates us from our manifestation of Reality. To whatever degree we believe the lie to that degree are we suffering spiritual antagonism. As we ascend in the Light of the Lamb, in the true light of Christ, we will be changed into That image. This image is the express image of Him who created us.

The end of our search is God ALL IN ALL, and it is the fullness of Christ-consciousness that brings this Glorious Truth into our experience. So, I am forever endeavoring to understand, to assimilate, seeking revelation unto this end; meditating unto realization, what and who, you and I, really are as a New Creation Being. This is what I am about: finding the Truth of our existence.

It is only by the Spirit of Truth, the Illumination from God, that we can see the New Creation. But it is this New Creation that exists as Reality that we are to grow up into. When we grow up into the Perfect Man, the New Creation Man, we will have put off this mortal concept and put on our immortality. This can happen in this present life we are now living. It is true in the Spirit and realization of this is to be expressed through Soul, and manifestation will take place in Body.

For the end of my first writing in this new beginning I am entering into I will say, Christ Is All! And, I am on a Quest to find out the Reality of this most Powerful Truth; for I am driven in my most inward Self to find out what is true of me in Spirit and Soul and Body. To whatever degree the Grace of God can bring me into a conscious awareness of Truth, to this degree will I manifest the Christ. Christ-consciousness profits not only in this life, but in that which is to come.
