"Finished.... Part 3
What Can WE Do, Because of Who We Are?
There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about Who we are and what we can do.
We are constantly being told, "WE can do nothing, only Father can do things that
are to be done. We have to rest and wait." Depending on where you are, in
KNOWING WHO you are, this is true for some. But, there is a people who do KNOW
who they are, NOT WHO THEY WILL BE. And they ARE DOING MUCH!! (We will get into
this in the next part of this study). I want us to take a look at Jesus and us.
Most are WAITING to become Manifested Sons of God. They are WAITING for
something that they ALREADY ARE. They keep judging whether or not they are
Manifested Sons, by whether or not they are or can do the "greater works".
Which, these "greater works", have absolutely NOTHING to do with determining
this truth.
There are ONLY 2 words that determine if we are Manifested Sons.
Manifested/Sons.
All we have to do is ask 2 questions.
1) Did we move from (manifest) the Spirit world, into the natural world that we
now live in? Yes we did unless someone is fooling themselves. (and some are
because they are SEEING what the "woman" is telling them. ) We ARE Spirit, but
we LIVE in this natural world. That means, WE MANIFESTED from one form to
another. (Gen 1:27. John 4:24)
2) Are we sons of God? Well, I know that I AM and I know EVERYONE else is too.
Regardless, whether they know it or not.( Gal4:6, 1John 3:2)
We ARE, not will be, manifested from the spirit form into the flesh form and we
are sons of God. What does that make us? Manifested Sons of God. Don't start
saying, " yes , but I can't.... or I'm still.....". IT DOES NOT MATTER!! I
didn't ask, what you can do, or what you still do, I asked you, "Are you a
Manifested Son of God"? I KNOW that in the Spirit, you are sayig "YES, GLORY TO
GOD I AM!!" There's your truth. If you focus on "works" that came out of Jesus,
YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS TRUTH!!! We are told in the written Word, " Know JESUS
no more after the flesh" (2 Cor 5:16, ) The Son didn't do the works, Father did,
through the Son. So, don't let any idea of doing great works, cheat you out of
knowing who and what you ARE.
Let's look at Father, and Pattern.
IS 45:22, "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am
God, and there is none else."
IS 46:9, "Remember the former things of old; for I am God and there is none
else; I am God and there is none like me."
1 Tim 3:16, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; God was
manifest in the flesh...."
John 1:14, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and
truth."
Gen. 1:27, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; "
Gal 2:20, "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, YET NOT I, BUT
CHRIST LIVETH..
Acts 17:29, "Forasmuch then as we are the OFFSPRING OF GOD we ought not to think
that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and MAN'S
DEVICE."
Eph 3:14-16, "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, of whom the WHOLE FAMILY in heave AND EARTH is NAMED, that he would
grant you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by
his Spirit IN THE INNER MAN----(19)And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that YE might be FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD."
OK. Do you see the steps here, in the above scriptures?
Part 3
1) There is ONLY ONE GOD. This is, was and will always be, and can NEVER
CHANGE.
2) That ONE, invisible God, manifested from the spirit realm, and showed
Himself, visible, in the natural realm. He lived right here
on the natural earth.
3) God created us in His image. He is Spirit, so are we. He came (manifested) in
the earth, so did we.
4) We ARE, not will be, the OFFSPRING (Son) of God. And MAN has DEVISED the
false knowing that WE can do nothing. MAN HAS!!
5) It IS Christ that is living in these bodies. CHRIST IS LIVING, it's HIS LIFE,
not OURS that IS BEING LIVED.
6) WE HAVE the very FULLNESS of God, what He is, what He has always been, WE
have the FULLNESS of.
7) And notice, we not only are ONE WITH FATHER, WE HAVE THE SAME NAME!
Now, if it is CHRIST that liveth and not us, how can anyone say that WE (Christ,
Father's Life) cannot do anything? All things are possible through Christ. We
are the SAME CHRIST that the man JESUS was. There is only ONE CHRIST. We can
speak to our body; we can use the mind that Father gave us, the Christ mind.
HOW? Because the life that is being lived through us, is the HEAD's life, in
His Body.
NOW, knowing this, how can ANYONE say, "WE can do nothing."? IF you are one
with Father, WE CAN DO ALL THINGS, because WE HAVE HIS FULLNESS. We just HAVE to
believe what He tells us, or believe those that apparently DON"T really have the
REVELATION of WHO they are. He is the Head of this Body and they cannot be
separated, even with unbelief; it's just that with the unbelief it will not be
manifested in and through those who hold the unbelief, here on earth BEFORE they
see the grave. You see, when you are ONE with something, you can't be told
apart. Just as it was with Jesus, He was so ONE with Father that people STILL
see JESUS AS DOING THE WORKS, when it wasn't the man Jesus doing them, in Jesus'
mind He and Father were so united that when Father did something, Jesus was also
doing that same work. It wasn't two people working together, it was ONE, FATHER.
And ONCE JESUS HAD DIED, He made it possible THAT WE COULD BE THE SAME, so ONE
WITH FATHER, He didn't see it as Him AND Father, it was ONE PERSON, FATHER! One
Head and One Body.
First the natural, then the spiritual; look at our brain. It sends out commands
to our members and when the command reaches the particular member, it appears
that that member is doing something. But, it is actually, the brain that makes
the body work. ONE. So ONE, that it's automatic. One doesn't stop and think, "I
have to take a breath", no, the brain and the body work so at ONE that it truly
IS ONE and the head cannot be separated from the body.
And then HE LEFT SONSHIP and became what and who He had been all the time:
Father.
You see, the first 4 books of the NT, was/is actually the OT, still under the
Law. But, once He died and made it possible for us to follow the lead or the
Pattern that He laid, He RE-TURNED to the position of Fatherhood. It took HIM as
Saviour, to lay the Pattern of Sonship, that some will walk into, including
being lifted to Fatherhood. Don't misunderstand me, I am NOT saying that those
following the Pattern will become God; there is only ONE GOD, but, there will be
a people who are lifted to Father Consciousness. And some will remain in Sonship.
Just as in the Tabernacle of Moses; many come into the Outer Court and remain
there. Then there are those who move on to the Holy Place. BUT, we all know that
there is another room. The Holy of Holies.
We'll see more of this in the last part of our study, next week.
to be continued...
Be blessed.
