Predestinated To Be Conformed
Rom 8:29 For whom
he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his
Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
I would ask you, who
did he not forknow? Before you ever came to this earth you were
predestinated to be conformed to his image. You can fight it and cause yourself
a lot of discomfort and hurt but you WILL be conformed to his image. The divine
life in you will eventually come forth and shine. Daniel was told in chapter 12
that many that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake. The dust of the earth represents the carnal
human reasoning and the body of flesh.
Rom 13:11 knowing the time, that now it is
high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we
believed. Today all over the earth
people are beginning to awake from their sleep. We now realize there is
a diving purpose for our lives and we learn to rest knowing that it is God that
is working in us both to will and to do his good pleasure. No longer do we need
to be concerned for our future because we know that our destiny is secure. Even
when we get into rebellion his promise of being comformed into his image does
not change.
Jer 29:10-11 For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy
years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word
toward you, in causing you to return to this place. 11 For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to
give you an expected end..
Eph 4:4-6 There
is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above
all, and through all, and in you all.
These scriptures
say it very clearly. Ther is only ONE. There is not a Christian God, a Hindu
God, a Muslem God. There is only ONE. Also there is only One Spirit. So no
matter what religion you are in if you are worshiping God from the heart and
you are loving God and loving one another you are awakening to the reality of
your being and you will soon come out of religion. Religion always divides. The
Christian against the Muslem, the Muslem against the Jews and all the Christian
denominations are divided against one another.
There is only ONE
faith. Whatever Church or religion you belong to if you are not imprisioned by
doctrines and you are one with all who worship God, you understand oneness.
Most of God’s people worship doctrines and believe what they have been taught
by their religious teachers which divide God’s people rather than teaching them
oneness.
1 Cor 6:17 He that is joined unto the Lord is one
spirit.
1 Cor 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not
your own?
Another thing that
happens whenwe begin to awaken is we realize that our spirit and God’s spirit
and not two spirits but one spirit. We then begin to live from our spirit
instead of our carnal religious mind. When we stand to speak we speak from our
spirit and minister to the spirits of men and women and not to their natural
mind. The words we speak become spirit and life to those we minister to. We are
in for a great awakening this year of 2012 by folks all over the world.
The people of God are beginning to come together in the
spirit of unity. Unity of Spirit, not
unity of mind, not unity of doctrines, but the unity of the Spirit. You see if
you believe that everyone has to believe the same as you to be saved then you
will never know the unity of the spirit. To be one with all hmanity does not
mean you have to agree with their religion or their beliefs. We know that Jesus
died for all and conquered death and the grave. The scriptures teach that when
He died all of the old creation died with him. As we are regenerated and begin
to awaken to our true nature and identity then all old things are passed away
and we begin a journey from carnality, from religion and all old things pass
away and we have a new perspective of God and creation as a whole.
According to our perspective we live in time, and time for us
is a process. In Spirit there is no time and that is why God can look into
eternity and see everyone justified, glorified and fully redeemed. He can see
you full of His glory and presence. He does not look at where you are today but
he sees the finished product.
We just release Him from our spirit everywhere we go. To do
that is very simple and easy. Just become a lover and a servant everywhere you
go. The more you serve others and love them the more you become Christlike. You
do not try to convince them that you are right and they are wrong. They have
been raised to believe certain things and believe in their scriptures just like
you have. How can we expet to minister to them by telling them we are right and
they are wrong. The only way to properly minister to anyone is by compassion
and love. If you truly love folks your presence alone can bring them a
revelation of God. Your actions will speak much louder than your words. By this
shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
