PART ONE
To be a joint-heir with Christ is the greatest mystery to ever be revealed unto mankind. Only the elect of God will ever come into this awesome revelation. It is the revealing of our life which is ' hidden' in Christ Jesus, a hidden life that can only be accessed through the rent veil of flesh. For ages man has tried to forge his way into this 'hidden' life in Christ by his high moral standards, his theories and intellect, and by his own self-righteousness. Man has become pacified and deceived in his ignorance and has not found the mysterious' hidden' life beyond the rent veil according to 1st. Cor. ch 2;
PREDESTINED, PREORDAINED, AND CHOSEN
BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD."
According to Ephesians ch 1; ver. 3/4/5, we have already been blessed with all spiritual blessings ' in the heavenly places'; having been chosen before the foundation of the world!' Being predestined by Jesus Christ himself unto the adoption of children ! According to 1st Cor. ch 3; ver. 21/22/23/, all things belong to him who is in Christ Jesus; ' whether they be things of this world, or things of life, or things of death, of things present,
or things to come; all things are yours and you are Christ's and Christ is God's ! (2nd Timothy ch 1; ver. 9), Who has not called us according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the world begun!
We need to learn how to access our life which is hid in Christ because it is there that He has given us all things; by that which is in this present world and in that which is to come, all things are ours in Him. But they are hidden until we learn to brake through the rent veil and find the glorious world of our life in Christ. It is there that we find that we are made a partaker with him; a joint-heir. Here we find that we are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh; we are of the same mind and speak with the same voice! His words become my words, His love and compassion become lodged within me and His will becomes my will and the wisdom and knowledge of Christ is bound up in my life that is hid in Him.
Our life is hid in Christ and the only way to find it is through the rent veil of Calvary. It is through this rent veil that we find a world of the spirit and learn to walk in it by degrees as He leads us through the green pasture beside the still waters out into the shadow of His death and into the powers of His resurrection life. It is here that He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemy, my cup runneth over, surely mercy and goodness shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. All these things become a living reality, which are activated each day as His will intercepts my will and takes precedence over each circumstance. Many will be standing where grandma stood when God moves on out with his army into the reality of the life that is hid in Christ Jesus! We are passing very rapidly beyond the rent veil and leaving behind the darkness of tradition and fleshly understanding as the Holy Ghost becomes our only teacher and brings all things, which Jesus said unto our remembrance.
All the things which Jesus said were not written and all things of the prophets were not written, but were sealed up until the end-time to be revealed in this last day by the Holy Ghost. Many leaders are denying this scriptural teaching to their own hurt. Because to come against the word of God is one of the worst sins. It was for this sin that God said He would sent them strong delusions and cause them to believe a lie and turn them over to a reprobate mind because they had no love for the truth. To fight against the Word of God will bring destruction upon the religious world just as it did in other ages.
When we pass through the rent veil of flesh and enter into the life that is hid in Christ there is only one teacher, The Holy Ghost! Only here do we have full access to the hidden wisdom of God in Christ. We learn to abide in this hidden life in Christ beyond the veil of ignorance, and time, and worries and heartaches. How sweet to rest in His holy presence just outside the realms of time and it's pressure and feel ourselves absorbed into the soft light of a new dawn, to smell the fragrance of a spiritual springtime, and taste of the hidden manna. To soar like the eagle over the spiritual valleys and majestic mountains and bask in the unknown glories of spiritual freedom; To find the hidden life in Christ by breaking the barriers and passing through the rent veil is a mystery which is being unfolded to thousands in this last hour of the sixth day of God's creation in Christ!
Here we find that we are like the butter-fly breaking out of the cocoon to show off his beautiful colors and soar through the heavens! We are like the butterfly in that the ability to soar through the heavens is an inherent power within us, which was to be released in this present time as we pass into the reality of our life, which is hidden in Christ! You may ask me; Have you ever flown or soared through the heavens? Oh yes! Many times! I have visited strange lands and ministered to the sick, I have crossed miles and miles of awesome mountain peaks, not knowing where I was. I have been projected into the end-time where fire was leaping up through giant cracks in the earth trying to get to people who did not know God! I walked through the fire un-singed, and unafraid, my only thought was to reach the people before it was too late. I once ministered to an old man in India and saw God heal him and raise him from his deathbed! Many, many times I have had the world around me charged with the presence of God so that the atmosphere was changed to a heavenly world where all tears and worries and heartaches were no longer known and supreme happiness mixed with seer joy and love were ever merged into the breezes and drifted upon the clouds in waves of music such as this world has never known. Not until one comes to see and believe in the supernatural realities of the spirit world and come to experience them, can he worship God in spirit and in truth.
God, Himself is a spirit…….We can only worship Him in spirit. It is through spiritual revelations that we learn of Him and enter into His place of abode! Angels are ministering spirits. It was these ministering 'spirits' that carried the beggar into Abrham's bosom It is the spirit that carries one over thousands of miles of mountains, valleys and seas into places some times where it is humanly impossible for man to reach. The bible is full of accounts of the prophets and apostles and disciples etc.., being carried out in the spirit.
An angel unlocked the prison doors for Peter and transported him to his house. As long as we scoff at the reality of the spirit we will never know God! God longs to mingle among His people, but on His terms, not on man's terms. When man submitts to the will and purpose of God , then God will enter into His temple of flesh and abide with man and make him ruler over his house! We only need our spiritual eyes opened to see the things of the spirit.
It was the prophet Elisha who prayed the Lord to open the eyes of the his servant. And God opened his eyes and he saw the mountain was covered with horses and chariots of fire.
What great wonders abound all around us which we cannot see because of the blindness of our eyes to see! Jesus said for us to walk in light least darkness overtake us. It is so sad to see the great darkness which is descending in this endtime upon the people who deny God's Word.
We must press through the veil, out into the spiritual realities of our life in Christ!
To 'press through the veil' is to pass through the shadow of His death and enter into the life of His resurrection. Jesus said; ' By a spiritual baptism one is baptized into (His) death and is raised in His likeness through (His) resurrection. This all is a work of the Christ 'in us', He brings us 'through the veil, out into the reality of our life which is hid in Him. Jesus said that His Word was spirit. We must become born of that spiritual Word as it is made flesh 'in us' .
We must press our way through the veil which He rent, (from top to bottom).
There is no short cuts to spiritual reality. Jesus rent the veil of flesh from top to bottom, to bring forth His many membered body out into His likeness.
Organized church doctrine will not produce a people in His likeness. Coming in His likeness is one who has passed through the veil of His death and risen in the likeness of His resurrection. One is changed here into the new creature. The fourth man in the fiery furnace was 'like-unto' the Son of man, he was in the likeness of the Son, and this was a prototype of one to come. So we can see that 'beyond the rent veil' is our life which is 'hidden in Christ'.
Carnal man can no longer understand our speech because we are speaking of things he knows not of. Our life here is hid from the veiw of the carnal world around us and we stand among them as one they know not.
