CALL FORTH THAT WHICH IS NOT
Rom. 4:14-17, "For if they which are of the law be heirs, FAITH IS MADE
VOID, and the promise made of NONE EFFECT: Because the law
worketh wrath; for where no law is, there is no transgression. There
fore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might
be SURE TO ALL THE SEED ; not to that only which is of the law, but
to that also which is of the FAITH of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of may nations, ) EVEN GOD,
who quickeneth the dead, AND CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT, AS THOUGH
THEY WERE.. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the
father of many nations, according to that which was SPOKEN, So shall thy
seed be. And being NOT weak in faith, he considered not, his own body
now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet, the deadness
of Sarah's womb: He staggered NOW AT THE PROMISE OF GOD through
unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God; and being
FULLY PERSUADED, THAT WHAT HE HAD PROMISED, HE WAS ABLE ALSO TO PERFORM.
And therefore it was IMPUTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. Now it was
not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; BUT FOR
US ALSO, to whom i shall ve imputed, IF WE BELIEVE on him that
raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead...."
"According to that which was spoken..."
This is all about what Father has spoken to us. His Truths.
First, we must ask ourselves, can Father lie? We must each be
honest with ourselves, regarding this question. So many times, it SEEMS like
He has lied to us. But, as we ponder and listen to Him explain things
to us, we find that it was US that were seeing and hearing differently from
what He said. We had thoughts like; "well my pastor is such a great
translator, and he knows everything that I ask him, so I will just have to
depend on what HE tells me."
Our focus was in the wrong place. Father cannot lie, and it's
time to be brutally honest about this. Of course, this will all be said with
Love.
We are in the day that we were promised,
"the Holy Spirit will teach you ALL things, secrets
that have been hidden since the foundation of the world".
So, this tells me that EVERYTHING IS NOT IN THE BIBLE.
I know that this might upset some of you, but, it is the truth. IF
everything was in the bible, then these secrets would not be hidden. They
would be right there for us to read. And we HAVE found SO MUCH TRUTH ABOUT
OURSELVES, in between the lines of the bible. It is time that we AWAKENED to
some real truths.
Our bibles have been translated (and still being done so) so
many times and by so many different MEN that all we have is MAN'S
interpretation of what Father said and what He didn't say.
Actually folks, do you know what the bible is for? It's to
cause us to go to Father, the Spirit, to get understanding. It's all dead
letter UNTIL we receive understanding from Him. AND usually the
understanding that HE gives us, no one will believe anyway, because they say
that we are doing exactly what has been being done since the first letter of
the church, interpreting of ourselves.
So most think that they will just choose to believe what they
will. But, the real truth is, they have no choice in the matter, it is
already predestined who will believe. And what truth they will believe. (God
knew what each of us would do) Every man has a rank and order to his jouney,
and NO MAN SHALL BREAK HIS RANK. Many THINK they can break their
rank, but, in the space of Father's Plan, they will see that they really
CAN'T . It happens just as He planned.
THIS STUDY WILL BE A LONG ONE!!!! MANY PARTS!!!
This is for, mainly, those who know that they are one with
Father. There will be much for others too, but, Father is calling to those
that are to be a part of the Firstfruits.
He is saying, "THIS IS THE DAY, COME
FORTH IN EVERY REVELATION THAT IS BEING OPENED TO YOU".
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ONE WITH GOD?
I'm sure everyone has their own ideas on this question, but,
I want to share what and how Father explained it to me. He may explain it
differently to each of you, because He made each of us HIS EXPRESSION,
and we are individualized, and we receive as it pleases Him, to be expressed
through us. So, I am just saying what He has shown me. This does not mean
that what another may understand is wrong, it's just the way Father has
shared with each of us, the meaning of BEING ONE WITH HIM.
Just as the church has taught, the Body of Christ is made of
many members. So, is the Body of the Father. Most see the Body of Christ as
the Spiritual Body of Jesus, the flesh man who walked the earth 2000 years
ago, living in us.
Most REFUSE to turn loose of Jesus (the man who walked the
earth) because they don't really realize that JESUS WAS GOD IN A FLESH
BODY. He (GOD) laid aside ALL of His Deity and became 100% as a flesh
man. Had He NOT done this, He could not have been tempted in every way that
man is tempted, because God CANNOT BE TEMPTED. I love the way the Living
Bible tells this:
Phil. 2:5-8, "Your attitude should be the kind that was shown us by Jesus
Christ, who, THOUGH HE WAS GOD, did not demand and AND CLING TO HIS
RIGHTS AS GOD, BUT Laid ASIDE HIS MIGHTY POWER AND GLORY, taking the
disguise of a slave and BECAME LIKE MAN, And he humbled himself even
further, going so far as actually to die a criminals's death on the cross."
Now, let's look at this closely. NUMBER ONE : God
CANNOT DIE. NUMBER TWO: NO MAN has ever had the power or the glory
that God has. NUMBER THREE: We are told that Jesus was tempted in
every way that man is tempted. So, this means that Jesus had laid aside all
memory of being God, because if He KNEW that He was GOD AND MAN, ( which
there is no such thing), but IF He had memory of being God, this would mean
that He did not lay it all aside.
NUMBER THREE: God could not do the things that man
does. He is not carnal and His thinking is not as carnal man's thinking is.
NUMBER FOUR: We are told that flesh and blood cannot
enter heaven. We know that Heaven is a state of being, just as hell is, and
it's dependance on where we find ourselves, is where our MIND IS. We either
think from the carnal mind or the Mind of Christ. God could NEVER think with
the carnal mind.
And NUMBER FIVE: WE are told to KNOW JESUS NO MORE
AFTER THE FLESH. You see, since coming to this earthen realm, we have become
so determined that we will not believe ANYTHING that we don't SEE. Father
Knew where we had come to, in our thinking; in the flesh; and He knew that
we would NEED TO SEE SOMEONE DIE THAT WAS AS PURE AND HOLY AS JESUS, for us
to come to believe and come to salvation, or the awakening to what is real.
So, He (God) became flesh (1 TIM 3:16)
LASTLY: We are told:
2Cor. 5:16, "Wherefore HENCEFORTH know we no man after the
flesh; Yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, YET NOW
HENCEFORTH KNOW WE HIM NO MORE."
The word "Christ", used here in this scripture, is referring
to the man Jesus. Because NO MAN can know CHRIST, the anointing, the
Life of God. The natural cannot receive the things of the Spirit. But, we
are not to know Jesus, the flesh man anymore. True, as a babe, we
must know Him, simply because He could be seen. And we believed what we
could see.
But, once we grow, we are not to know Him as He was. Yes, as
a babe, He was our Saviour. We had to confess this. But, as we grow, Father
showed us more "grown up" nderstanding of Who this Saviour was.
1Tim 4:10, "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach,
becase we trust in the living GOD, who is the Saviour of all men, specially
of those that believe."
1Tim, 1:1, "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the
commandment of GOD our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope".
Titus 1: 3, "But hath in due times manifested his word
through preaching, which is committed unto me acording to the commandment of
GOD our Savious."
Jude 25, "To the ONLY wise God our Saviour, be glory and
jajesty, dominion and pwer, both now and forever, amen."
Even His name, Jesus, tells us that He was "God with us". In
Isaiah , before Jesus was even born, we were given His names: Wonderful;
Counsellor; THE MIGHTY GOD;, THE EVERLASTING FATHER; the Prince of
Peace. And YES, we did have to know Him as the flesh man who walked the
earth. But, as a baby grows, so does his knowledge. We are to know Him AS HE
IS, FATHER GOD.
So, this was our first awakening to knowing God, as the man
Jesus, But, we were moved into more awakening. At least some of us. Many
refuse to go further. But, more on that later.
I look at the Body of Father as being made up of His "Atoms"
or "Cells". WE each one are an atom or cell that makes up the Body of
Father, on earth.
Our next awakening was learning that we ARE a Son of
God. Many are still waiting until they get to heaven, to be a Son of God.
But, some have learned that this truth has already happened.
Gal 4:6, "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth
the Spirit of of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father."
Rom 8:14, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they
ARE the sons of God."
1John 3:1, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath
bestowed UPON US, that we should be called the sons of God:
therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."
1John 3:2, "Beloved, NOW are we the sons of God, and
it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we that, , when HE shall
appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him AS HE IS."
There are other scriptures; but, can you see a progression
here? Many, today, act as though you have blasphemed, when you tell them
that we ARE Sons of God. It would seem that it would be as a privilege, but,
this shows us how the carnal minds fight against the Mind of Christ. And
remember this. "AS A MAN THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS
HE."
As long as we believe that we have to wait until we get to
heaven, then this flesh body will decay and we will enter the invisible
realm, where we will go right on learning UNTIL we reach our place in HIS
plan.
Now, we know that Jesus was to be a Pattern to us.(1Tim 1:16)
I remember back when I first accepted Jesus as my Saviour, Bill Britton had
written a book, The Pattern Son. It awakened new things in me.
Now, many think this is where it stops, being Sons; but
remember one thing, there were 3 rooms in the Tabernacle of Moses.
And each of those rooms represented a walk for us. Many have gone into the
Holy of Holies, but they have only gone PART OF THE WAY.
Many have entered into Salvation, Penticost but refuse to go
any further. Much of the "kingdom" people have done the same. They entered
into Life in the Holy of Holies, but, refuse to go any further. I really
don't like putting names on groups, but, I know people understand things by
the names we've put on different groups.
Let's look at Father and the steps HE took. ONE; God
Was.(Gen 1:1), TWO: God manifested in the flesh. (1Tim 3:16). Now the
THIRD step:
John 17: 5, " And now, O Father, glorify THOU me, WITH THINE OWN
SELF with the glory which I had with thee BEFORE THE WORLD WAS"
Now here, God had lain the Pattern of Sonship, OF BEING
HIS SON. And now He was taking His THIRD step, in His Plan,
RETURNING TO FATHERHOOD.
Now, most of us know that God manifested in the flesh. (1Tim
3:16) He manifested as the baby, Jesus, and He lived as a man. When the
space in Father's Plan arrived, He began teaching. Even back in those days,
He gave us little clues; but as it was back then, it is the same today, much
of it was missed.
But, He began laying a Pattern for us to walk into. He laid
the Pattern of Sonship. He taught everything about being a Son of God. He
gave and taught us faith; although it was already in us, but was laying
dormant. He died, that the TRUTH about Who we really are could be awakened
in us. Many of us have been blessed with the awakening. Many refuse it. But,
in their own rank and order, they will come to understanding, either here in
the earthen realm or in the invisible realm.
But, Sonship has arrived in our understanding. And as
great as it is, this is only the second step in His Plan. His first
step, remember, was BEING GOD. Just as many refuse to leave Penticost, many
will refuse to step into the third step, which is Fatherhood. But,
Father will have His will done. It is out of this third step, that the
Firstfruits of God will come forth from.
I went through all this to explain what Father has shown me
about being one with Father. I will continue this subject in the next part.
Blessings.
It is understandable for a child to be
afraid of the dark; but, why would an adult be afraid of the LIGHT?
