THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS DIRECTLY AND INVARIABLY ASSOCIATED WITH ' ADOPTION ' . ADOPTION HAS TO DO WITH HEIR SHIP. ADOPTION IS THE SEAL OF SON SHIP. ONLY A SON OF ADOPTION WILL EVER CRY OUT; ' ABBA FATHER' .
In Romans ch 8; ver 22/23, we find where the apostle Paul spoke of this ' adoption ' as being a ' redemption of the body ' . The apostle here says that the whole creation groans in pain, waiting for this great day of deliverance! We are waiting, the apostle said, for the 'adoption' to witness the redemption of our bodies! Various scriptures speak to us about the redemption of the physical body as it 'puts-on' immortality and comes into a form of 'IN'corruption where it overcomes death and lives forever. Revelation on how this was to come about was not given until this endtime age of the consummation of all things.
Jesus said that HE was the Bread of life that a man may eat and not die. He further declared that; ' unless one eats His flesh and drinks His blood he has no life in him; 'I am the living Bread which came down from heaven' , He said. Whosoever eats of this Bread will never die'. Redemption of the physical body can only be manifested by eating of the Bread of life which The Father sent down from heaven . My flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed, Jesus declared.
There is a process here which brings in the adoption of the Son-Body, The many-membered Body of Christ. It is a process which only begins after the will of flesh has died. The will of the flesh is brought to its final death in a spiritual Gethesemane as it faces the cross; a decision is made here by millions as the majority 'fall asleep' and the remnant agonizes throughout the night until the battle between life and death is over.
Many are in Gethsemane today who should be already partaking of the Bread of life on the other side. Too many times we have a strong self-will within us which has never conformed to the
will of The Father. This self-will is inherent within every human being and is a strong force which motivates our lives. Many times the most conscientious Christian has not allowed himself to be brought to his Gethsemane, to the place where the inherent self-will comes to its death. When the cross appears in our life, the 'flesh-will' shall always respond: Let this cup pass from me! It must be brought to a place where it also cries out; Nevertheless! Not my will but thine be done! Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven! His will cannot be accomplished in us until our self-will passes through the agony of Gethsemane and dies at the gate of the kingdom!
Jesus said; I will not drink of the fruit of the vine again until I drink it new with you in the kingdom. ( Matt. ch 26; ver. 29.) What is that 'new wine' and when do we drink it new with him in the kingdom? These are some very fundamental questions here which we need answered; Now! Sincere, God seeking people are tired of this mess of ignorance which tradition has left them in! How is it that after so long you still do not know how the blood of sprinkling is applied; how is it that you still do not know what it means to eat his flesh and drink His blood ? After all , He said that if we did not eat and drink thereof then we had no life in us; also if we do eat and drink thereof we shall never die, never see death, but live forever and forever, He said. Jesus said all of this ! But what does your preacher say?
Oh! the preacher never talks about that, you say. He talks about being jerked up through a hole in the sky to a mansion beyond the stars where everyone plays harps and wears turbans on their heads and sets beside a river all day. The preacher says that 'everyone' would have a mansion 'up there'! But some one got the idea that he maybe didn't deserve a mansion, (he couldn't bring himself to go through the garden Gethsemane), so he said, I'll just take a cabin in glory land, I'm not worth much! ( Boo-hoo, poor me! ) I just want to see Jesus, he moans! He might as well forget about seeing the Lord! We can only see the Lord as we become 'like Him', conformed to His 'like-manner', then only shall we see Him as He is !
To see Him we must first become acquainted with the Christ working 'in us' in our everyday environment, the Christ who appears in our every situation to mold us, and recreate us into His image! Therefore we are passing from glory to glory and from image to image as we behold His image as looking into a mirror ( see 2nd. Cor. ch 3; ver. 18.) We must first behold Him within ourselves as we pass from image to image until we come into the fullness of His stature! Then, we shall see Him as he is for we shall be like Him!
We can only entered into the realm of communion with Him after we have passed through the darkness of 'His' death in Gethsemane. After this, one is brought into an acute awareness of His presence as He takes dominion over a body, which is 'now become ' a living sacrifice and wholly acceptable! It is here that one enters into a realm of ' kin-ship' as he drinks of the fruit of the vine with Him in the kingdom! Some must enter in, He said. The remnant must enter into its perpetual position within the kingdom and stand as joint-heirs with Christ to deliver this groaning creation which right now is convulsing in the last throes of death! To drink of the fruit of the Vine one must 'become' one with the Vine. Jesus said in St. John 15;5; ' I am The Vine, you are the branches, he that abides in me brings forth much fruit. We are the wild olive branch which had to be 'grafted' into the Vine. The high-calling in Christ cannot be reached until one passes through the total death to self-will! We have spiritual leaders in our midst today who will die, still clothed in the 'self-will of Adam' because they do not want to give up their lofty position in the pulpits! When we speak of 'self-will' we are not speaking of one who is still wrestling in the flesh/blood realm, but we speak here of one who is wrestling against principalities and powers of darkness in high-places! (Ephesians ch 6; ver. 12.) Gethsemane is a 'high-place' ; it is a place where we 'wrestler with the powers of spiritual wickedness of high principalities; self-will. How many times during a one week period do we lay aside what God wants us to do and do our own thing and then whatever time and means are left we give to the things of God; We think we give them to God; but God never accepts our leftovers! Thousands of times we 'think' we are doing service to God when in fact, we are offering polluted bread upon His altar of sacrifice! One here, will know many things about Christ; and know nothing of His life within.
We must pass through Gethsemane before we can partake in communion of His supper; His Body. The breaking of Bread at the last supper was a prototype of the breaking of His Body at calvary. With desire, Jesus said, I have desired to eat this supper with you before I suffer. ( Luke ch22; ver.15.) ' But I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until the day I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. (Matt. ch 26; ver. 29.). This is 'communion' in its ultimate form which few will ever partake of.
The churches who are still passing around the cracker and grape juice are living in a strong delusion, because they have refused to come out from the prototypes into reality. When we allow ourselves to continue on in a prototype of something, we are denying the facts of its reality.
The first step you will take as a 'partaker ' of Christ will be Gethsemane! This is your initiation , this is your adoption! Before this you were no more than a 'servant': after this you are a 'joint-heir'!
The 'before' and 'after' of Gethsemane are two different worlds and are inhabited by two different people! The 'before' world is filled with pitfalls of delusions and deceptions spawned from the Adam will; The 'after' world is governed by the will of The Father where we cease from our own works and rest in His bosom! Here, we can arise to face the gray dawn of the humiliation of the halls of Pilate because we have been made a joint-heir with Him and a partaker to wear the purple robe of mockery, to turn the other cheek, to be spit upon and struck by a world who knows us not! This is where the life in Christ becomes a reality to us as we experience his death and come into His resurrection powers of a new life! When our fellowship with him is activated in communion of His death and resurrection and ascension, then the process of Calvary brings to us the sprinkling of blood for our daily cleansing and activates, in our daily life the thing which He suffered and the glories also which He ascended to..
My communion with Christ as a partaker with Him means that I must enter into the spiritual realms of Gethsemane and stay there through the long 'night' of darkness until the will of flesh within me gives way to the will of The Father! My Friend, there is no 'half-way-house' here where you might keep a few things for yourself, this is where you die to yourself, to your dreams and ambitions, to your former faiths and ideas, to your will to be yourself. The spiritual storm of the soul here rages in furious motion as the waves of death to the old Adam nature gives way to the resurrection life of Christ Jesus.
The spiritual war waged in Gethsemane was shrouded in the blackest night to ever fall on humanity, and man was so indifferent to its reality that he calmly took a nap while 'one man' sweated blood until he won the battle once for all. Man alone, cannot endure Gethsemane's storm, so he takes a nap, completely disregards the reality of what is happening! The same is true today! When the night descends and the winds of adversity lay heavy upon us, we cry for relief, or claim the devil is attacking us! We are so out of touch with God we cannot discern or know His visitation! While Jesus agonized in the garden humanity slept; today while His Body passes through the same path, (withersoever he goeth) the would is in slumber. A spirit of complacency and indifference has lulled the religious world to sleep, while a small remnant, like Jesus their Head, enters into a blood covenant with God ! Many are not concerned about the blood covenant, they think it is a thing of the past! They not only 'don't know , they don't even want to know! They know nothing of the sprinkling of blood for cleansing of the sin in the members which the apostle spoke of .
When Almighty God clothed Himself in flesh, He therefore joined Himself to the man which He had created . Almighty God clothed Himself in human weakness and felt his pain, his heartaches, his failures and discouragement’s! 'Tempted in all points like unto us' he became flesh! He became flesh in 'all' points, to the ultimate extent! He suffered humility and mockery at the hands of the most vile sinners! The face that was stricken and spit upon, the brow that was riddled with thorns from the wilderness, was the face of Almighty God. ( He loved you so much !)
Slain from the foundation of the world; crying out from the lips of the shepherd boy, David, we read in Psalm 35; 11-16: ' reproach hath broken my heart, I am full of heaviness! I looked for pity and comfort and found none! They gave me vinegar to drink in my thirst! False witnesses rose up against me and laid things to my charge which I knew not! They rewarded me evil for good! But when they were sick I humbled myself in fasting and prayer and bowed myself in mourning as for a brother! Thus did the psalmist cry out as the spirit of Christ within him revealed to him the agonies of Calvary. Please read Psalms 102 and you will find the travailing of the Lamb slain, as his soul is offered up in utter loneliness , in bitter weeping and anguish of spirit as he cries out through the lips of humanity , 4000 yrs before He came to be crucified in flesh. One must be chosen and called out, and adopted into Sonship of Jesus Christ before he can know of this travailing and agony of the soul in Gethsemene.
Sonship Ministry has spoken much, in the past twenty or so years about the mother church and her functions in conception and in her deliverance of the 'man-child' of Revelation 12. We have spoken of her feminine nature and her awesome role in the majestic plan of God for humanity. We have also taught many lessons on the immaturity of the 'babes-in-Christ'( which she has born) who never learn to walk in the spirit because they never allow themselves to become weaned from the mother's breast, therefore they become spiritually anemic. They crawl instead of walk, they mutter incoherently instead of speaking plainly, not understanding the Word, they speak in riddles. They live in a mal-functioning world of the spiritually blind and crippled, in the weakness and ignorance of immaturity. These never come to the full-stature of the measure of perfection in Christ. They never come to the age of the adoption of a son, therefore they never come into a joint-heir relationship with the Lord Jesus. They never come to share in the bounty of the kingdom riches. We see the masses in religious circles today still standing in a stagnant pool of doctrines handed down from generation to generation ; it is a bread which has become corrupted and full of worms, just as it's prototype found in Exodus ch 16.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
However this book is about the process of adoption and what adoption means. Who will be accounted worthy of adoption and how many will there be included in this awesome family of God who make up the Body of Christ and come out into the reality of having the physical body become immortal and incorruptible. Who are these unique people who have ' the Father's name in their forehead, whose voice sounds like the roar of many waters, who sings a new song which only they can learn? These are a people who are ' redeemed from among men' they have followed the Lamb withersoever He goeth'. ( see Rev. ch 14; ver. 1-5.)
These are a people who are delivered out from the mother church and make up the endtime remnant whom God will bring forth out of all mankind. Many have come forth from the harlot mother ( Hager type) and like Ishmael their prototype, they are living in a wilderness and drinking from the wilderness well and know nothing of the Father and Son relationship that belongs to the Isaac lineage.
The 'Son-Seed' comes forth from the ( Sarah type), which is through the apostolic five fold ministry of the true mother church which was build upon the apostles and prophets with Jesus Christ being the Chief Corner Stone! One does not just ' happen' into Sonship, because the Seed is sown into the spiritual womb of the mother church and must be formated there into ful-stature and come through the ages of travailing in 'pangs of birth' to be delivered out from the true mother. This is prototyped by Abraham, Sarah and Isaac. ' In Isaac shall thy seed be called' the said to Abraham, the seed born from Sarah. There are many today who are coming to be birthed out from the 'Hager' mother into the Ishmealite line of illigitimate sons who do not have the Fathers name. It is from the Issac seed that the Son-seed comes forth. And through Christ we are the seed of Abraham.
The principles of the doctrines of Christ such as the doctrines of baptisms, the laying on of hands and gifts and anointings of the spirit were all essential to 'bring us to Christ'. These being the main functions of the mother church until this sixth age of maturity when the mother church brings forth her 'man-child' people who make up the Christ Body. So one who has not come through these principles and functions of the true mother church will not be a part of the Sonship Body of Christ, the man-child who is delivered from the church. We do not look to see Isaac among the Ishmaelites. It was the virgin church who conceived the Son-seed! These are the one hundred and forty four thousands who come through great tribulations as they walk in a spiritual light which no mortal has ever seen before; it is a spiritual light which is seven times brighter than the noon-day sun! It is a light so bright it blinds us to every thing else and opens up a world to us which we have never known existed.
As one walks in this marvelous light ( revelation), he can see into worlds in the spirit which he has never explored, worlds of splendor which human eyes have never before beheld! We are living in an hour when the 'world which was to come' is overshadowing us with a halo of glory which is changing the face of our world, as it moves in parallels to our obedience to God's plan. Our lives are being changed as the powers of another world take over and takes rule over our enemies and brings in the 'tidings of great joy' fashioning our vile bodies like unto His glorious Body by the work He is doing within us! ( see Phil. ch 3 ver. 21.) It all comes about as the apostle said; ' through the knowledge of Him ' and through our full commitment to Him. The very purpose of God-in-the-flesh is found within these revelations which the present day churches do not teach. This is an endtime teaching which takes one to the mountain top where he can hear the voice of God. God's Word in this endtime age will come forth from Mt. Zion, not from the traditional teachings formed from human understanding. It is here, that one comes to 'live and breath and have his being' in Christ as he enters into a relationship of Father and Son.
There is a 'grafting' process which begins when one commits himself to God in full surrender. I am speaking here of a commitment to Calvary, a commitment to death, and a commitment to resurrection and ascension!
This commitment goes far beyond what 'the church' calls being saved. This commitment goes beyond repentance, and 'confessions'. This commitment takes one into 'the adoption of a son', out into his kingdom inheritance! The apostle said that we enter into the kingdom through much persecution , We must press our way in, he said. ( they gathered themselves together against me and I knew it not! ) David, a vessel chosen by God , the anointed son of Jesse, was the only one that held the spirit of Christ which cried out through his lips of clay in agony of soul as He came under the death of the cross and offered up his soul to God as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. As branches of The Vine, members of His Body, today we are feeling the same rejection, the same mockery, the same loneliness as we eat of that flesh and drink of that blood ! It is the soul which is afflicted in Gethesemne It was the soul of the Lord which cried out through the shepherd boy; It is the soul within the Son body that is now , ' like a pelican on the roof top in its loneliness........., oh if I had wings, the Psalmists says, I would fly away! This same spirit of heaviness and loneliness has settled within the Christ body as the night in Gethesemene gives way to the gray dawn of Calvary.
Gethsemene is a gulf which few shall ever cross! We come to its edges and like the human flesh before us, we close our eyes to its stark reality which is shrouded in blackness of death! Just like the apostles before us, we cannot wait one hour , much less the whole night! As long as the flesh nature of Adam lives within us, we cannot be a joint-heir with Christ! It is the death we meet in Gethsemane that crucifies the will of flesh of Adam and sets us free to be made a joint-heir with Christ. Our Lord was so agonized that He 'fell' to the ground and prayed until His sweat became as great drops of blood ! He declared that His soul was exceedingly sorrowful, even to death! He was suffering under the terrible weight of sin which was bound in the flesh of human will. We hear Him say, (as the human will comes into full surrender) Not my will, but thine be done! Until every weight of sin which so easily besets us is 'exposed' and crucified , then we have not crossed the gulf between life and death; the gulf between shadows and substance. This gulf must be crossed before one can come into the reality of being a 'partaker' in His commune. Once the will of flesh dies, and the will of God takes dominion then we cease from our 'wandering' from doctrine to doctrine and become completely released and at peace as we allow another to 'row-our-boat' even Jesus who holds all the water in the palm of His hand!
It is on the other side of Gethsemane that our life is 'hid-in-Him' where the religious world no longer recognizes us. We have become as an alien to those who once 'walked with us in sweet communion in the house of the Lord' We have come into the reality of having our life 'hid-in-Him' where the world knows us no longer! There is an awesome power which takes over here as one becomes a joint-heir with Christ; Not just an ' heir ' , but a 'joint-heir' ! One who is made a 'partaker' with Him so closely that they become one! One of His same flesh, and His same bone, one of His divine nature, a partaker with Him in His death and resurrection and ascension! This is most awesome indeed! It is so awesome that it separates one from the feminine spirit of the mother church and brings him into the masculine, ruling spirit of the Son! This is what adoption is about. It grafts one into the Natural Olive Tree so close that there is no mark of distinction to tell one from the other as the wild branch becomes molded and conformed to His image and begins to draw out from the same root the resurrection life of Christ Jesus! Here, one is more than a son, he is an 'adopted' son, a joint-heir with Christ!
We find here that we died with him and was resurrected with Him and have even 'ascended' with Him because He is now taking me through it all as I follow Him withersoever He goeth . He went through it all alone so that He could take me with Him through the shadow of His death and out into the glories of His resurrection life, and ultimately out into His ascension.
The psalmist David had a foretaste of this journey when he wrote the beautiful 23rd psalm. ' Yea tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me! Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemy. My cup runneth over! This is a journey that is far different from the former life in the mother-church realm. David cried out in the ecstasy of his revelation as he viewed the spiritual paths of walking in communion with Jesus Christ as a joint-heir in all that He was and all that He did. "He was seeing a man conformed into the God-image through Christ Jesus four thousand years before it happened!
We are made to wonder why in this day of such great light that so few can see the awesome powers of God recreating humanity into the likeness of the risen Lord! Once we have committed our all to God then He takes over and begins the majestic work of recreation in us, and around us! It is here that we have entered into His rest and have ceased from our own works, having come to a place of acceptance of whatever each day holds because we know that God is creating situations and circumstances that will bring about the reality of the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus into our life and the Word becomes flesh which brings one into a great participation of Christ , even as partaker of His Kingly Priesthood! ( for He hath made us kings and priests and we shall reign on earth, Rev. 5;10).
In the process of the Word becoming flesh we shall come into a whole new relationship with God such as we have never known. We shall feel the dying of Christ and also the resurrection powers of His life becoming a living reality in a day by day experience. You will come to know Him as He manifests himself 'in' you , not just 'to' you. You will come to a place where He will arise within you as a great burden-bearer, as you weep with those who weep in the love and compassion of Christ. You will find yourself being lead in strange paths where you have never walked before as He arise in you as King of King and Lord of Lords! The characteristic traits of a son become visible and active as Word becomes flesh. The Word takes flesh to calvary, and raises it from death, and enters into it as life!~
Within the mother church he is found to be a 'babe-in-Christ' : a babe on a milk diet, a babe who cannot yet walk or stand, or even speak coherently in the spirit. One must 'grow up' from this babyhood stage and come into the adoption of his inheritance in Christ Jesus as a man of full-stature.
' IMMATURITY; BABES-IN-CHRIST'
The operation of adoption takes one out from the immaturity of being a 'babe-in-Christ' where he cannot speak the words of God plainly, where he (spiritually) crawls and cannot walk in the spirit. In this stage of being a 'babe-in-Christ' one is still under the turban and governors of apostles, teachers and prophets, and has not come out into being taught and directed by the Holy Ghost, according to Ephesians ch 4; ver. 10/14. In this scripture we find that the five fold ministry was set up for the ' perfecting of the saints, and that there is yet another phase to our growth in Christ where we must come into the knowledge of the Son and into the full-statures of Christ which is our adoption as joint-heirs! We cannot walk as a joint-heir until we come into our adoption as matured sons. Just as in the natural realm, as long as we remain babes and crawl around sucking a bottle and muttering incoherently we cannot have a joint-heir relationship as to a Father and a Son! The mother church took care of our needs as long as we remain babes-in-Christ! As long as we remain 'babes' we never know the chastening hand of a father, because we remain under the feminine protection of the soft tender hand of a mothers heart! We are showered with gifts of the spirit and pampered and carried about as our hurts are healed and we are 'picked up' when we fall down and mama kisses the hurt place and makes it well. This is her pleasure! Any real mother will tell you this!
The reluctance of the mother church to be separated from her son of adoption is portrayed loud and clear in the natural motherhood of a loving 'mom'. We see it in this age in reality as the mother church holds on to the sons who refuse to be separated from her breast and become transformed to a Father/Son relationship where they come under the disciplinary hand of The Father through the process of adoption.
There are thousands of Christians in this endtime age who are simply choosing to stay 'babes-in-Christ' because of the comfort of the arms of the mother church! Therefore they never come to know a father/son relationship to follow him withersoever He goeth! Their legs are so weak from the milk diet of the mothers breast that they cannot even stand alone to walk in the spirit! " To whom shall you teach knowledge' the prophet asks: ' He that is weaned from the breast and has come to the meat of the word!' ( Isa. 28; 9. )
Adoption puts one on his feet and causes him to speak words of wisdom as he walks in daily communion (with) the Father (in) the Son! Here, he no longer speaks incoherently, but he speaks the kingdom language fluently and possessively as a native tongue! He speaks as one who has walked the last mile and divided the last loaf , as one that has turned the other cheek and prayed for his enemy! This, my friend, is kingdom language, it is kingdom laws, the highest laws ever laid down to human flesh! Only a joint-heir with Christ can adhere to this lofty law which the world cannot touch nor come near! It is a mountain-top law, given only to the chosen ones who climbed the mountain and entered into his secret place which is hidden from the world
One who remains in the undeveloped baby stage is like Ishmael; he never has a father/son relationship because he never comes into the maturity of his heir ship in Christ.
He remains under tutors and governors, such as administrators and guardians until he comes into the knowledge of The Son and into the full-stature of the full measure of a perfect man in Christ. ( please read Ephesians ch 4 ver. 10/14.) Isaac had to be 'weaned', separated, from his mother before he could reign over the Ishmaelite and come into his heir ship. And so it is in this day, my friend. Even though you may have been 'conceived' by the mother church, you shall remain an embryo within her womb unless you come into the full knowledge and reality of the process of the adoption of a son. ' WHICH WERE BORN NOT OF BLOOD, NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH, NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD ( ST jOHN 1/13 . That which is 'Word-born' is no longer accounted as to the Adam genealogy, but has become a joint-heir with Christ Jesus and the declaration of his adoption says that he is 'bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh'! The Word must be allowed to take form and manifest its self as it becomes housed within our fleshly temples which have passed through the death and resurrection of Christ!
This God-image man can only come together as the Word becomes flesh and dwells among the world in the same like manner as Jesus Christ. Anything less than this is not enough and does not manifest the purchased possession of Calvary! There is to be a people who are born of God, and are raised to maturity as joint-heirs with Christ, they bear His image in flesh and stand among the world, at this time, as one they know not! It makes one sick in this day of spiritual ignorance to see the Adam image stand up and declare that he is walking in the image of almighty God! This kind of traditional teaching destroys and distorts the true concepts of God's holy word. As long as man foolishly believes himself to be already in the God-image, then he will not strive to reach the 'high-calling-in-Christ' which is bearing His image! Bearing His image 'is' the 'high-calling in Christ. We are speaking here of one who bears the God-image, as he partakes of the divine nature of a King . The world today is groaning for this God-creature to come forth with healing in his wings as the prophet has declared.
My friend, what is it that you are searching for in this awesome time of such mounting fears and defeat! As time rolls along swiftly into eternity we are facing a dark day of God's judgments spoken of by the prophets. This mass destruction, this awesome age of strange diseases, multiply heartaches. The world system is crumbling at the feet of humanity as it stands in its own corruption and staggers and falls to its shameful death! Let me say to you now; there is a way out! It is a sure way, a way that you can walk in a daily relationship with God! It is a way that you can breathe the fresh sweet air of a world of peace and joy, a world of serenity where you are made a member by being adopted into the heir ship of Christ! This is not just something you hear about and read about , it is something which you can be made a part of !
However, there is an initiation fee at the gate! It is complete commitment; lay it all down, nothing is kept back here, this is the focal point of your life in Sonship! Abraham didn't offer a part of Isaac up; He placed his whole life on the altar of sacrifice. This is where so many turn back. We find in the sixth ch of St. John where Jesus told the disciples that He was the living bread which came down from heaven that a man may eat and never die, this is the bread, He said, which gives life to the world. Furthermore, He declared that unless one eats of this Bread and drinks of this Cup, that he has no life in him! What happened here is what is happening now: ' They said, this is a hard saying , who can hear it? And from that time on, many of His disciples went back and followed Him no more! Only one who has committed all and paid his initiation fee at the gate will enter in and eat of that Bread of Life and become a joint-heir adoption ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IT IS ONLY BY THE WORD BECOMING FLESH THAT JESUS CHRIST CAN COME IN LIKE-MANNER AS HE WENT AWAY!
HIS LIKE-MANNER IS A FLESH THAT HAS PASSED THROUGH HIS DEATH, RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION! A CRUCIFIED, RISEN FLESH IS A LIKE-MANNER OF CHRIST; THERE IS NO OTHER LIKE-MANNER! WE MUST ALLOW HIM TO COME IN LIKE-MANNER 'IN US' AS HE MANIFESTS HIMSELF TO THE WORLD THROUGH HIS MANY-MEMBERED BODY; AS JOINT-HEIRS WITH HIM! The joining together of His Headship and His many-membered Body brings in the fullness of Him who fills all things. It is through the adoption of sons that the Word becomes flesh in like-manner. ' I will come again and receive you unto myself' Jesus said.
We read in 1st. John ch 4; 2/3 where whosoever denies that Jesus is 'now' come in the flesh is of an anti-Christ spirit. God will never take up His abode in a flesh that has not passed through the death and resurrection of Christ!
The Word must become flesh through the operation of death and resurrection in us , otherwise we have no part in Him! We simply cannot know Christ until we are made a partaker by adoption! This is a process of being adopted into sonship! There are many handmaidens, and husband-men, and vine dressers , guests and bypasses spoken of , but God's ultimate purpose was to bring a people into his image through the adoption of sons to build a habitation of God; A place for God to dwell among men! God's purpose was never that man would die and go to a mansion in the sky; Rather His plan and purpose was that man would become a habitation of God through the spirit and rule the earth!
Sonship is the high-calling of God -in-Christ! There is no higher calling, and no other calling is near so high! This is an age of full consummation of all things. Sons of God are about to arise with healing in their wings to deliver the groaning masses whose eyes will be opened to truth who will say; '
Let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob and he will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths; For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the lord from Jerusalem. (Isa. 2; 3) Notice here, that the Word is coming forth from the house of the Lord in the earth, and from Jerusalem.
The Holy Ghost will be contained within this ' house of the Lord' which is the sonship of God in that day. " and He shall judge among the nation , and rebuke many people ; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks and wars shall cease to be forever!
In this day, God will be glorified in the Son and in His saints as He takes up His abode in His house not made by hands, a house build by Christ Jesus as its Chief Corner Stone............God's temple and tabernacle is flesh and not a place in the sky!
If you have allowed tradition to blind you to this great truth then it is high time that you awoke from your dreams and delusions and became aquatinted with truth! When Jesus ascended He went back into the Fatherhood of God from whence He came, and poured out himself as Son into the spiritual womb of the mother church . All of The Sonship is contained within the Holy Ghost, always has been, and ever shall be! Sons of God shouted for joy in the Holy Ghost as the first stars were flung into space by the hand of the infinite almighty God! When one receives the spiritual baptism of the Holy Ghost he is 'conceived' of the son-seed and just as a natural conception, a process begins of formation for birth The mother church has delivered her man-child and He is now in a process of 'arising' to shake the earth and deliver Jacob. He will arise with ' healing in His wings' the only healing there is, there is no other! The healing of the nations shall come out of the 'house of the Lord' which is ' The Father's House'
Jesus declared that the Father lived in Him; He was the Father's House from which all healings and blessing flow and there is no other source." HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE; HE THAT HATH NOT THE SON HATH NOT LIFE, IT IS THAT SIMPLE!"
TRADITION SAID; ' THIS OLD FLESH! LET IT DIE AND BE BURIED AND ROT IN THE GROUND! BUT JESUS SAID ; I'LL OFFER MYSELF AS THE BREAD OF LIFE THAT A MAN MAY EAT THEREOF AND NEVER DIE! JESUS SAID; I'LL COME AND LIVE IN YOU AND RECREATE AND RESHAPE YOU INTO THE VERY LIKENESS OF GOD!
I'LL TAKE YOU TO CALVARY, TO THE GRAVE AND OUT INTO RESURRECTION AND CARRY YOU INTO THE HEAVENS!
THE GREAT WONDERS OF ADOPTION! OF KNOWING THAT WE ARE JOINTED TO HIM AND WILL NEVER AGAIN BE ALONE! KNOWING THAT OUR FLESH HAS BECOME HIS FLESH, AND OUR BONES HIS BONES! PRAISE GOD! IT IS THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF SONS THAT THE BODY IS DELIVERED FROM DEATH AND WE ARE MADE TO BE OVERCOMERS, YEA EVEN OF DEATH ITSELF!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To bring Calvary to its climatic end, and bring in the purchased possession which it bought, there must be a people brought forth who will overcome death and put-on immortality. This is a fact which the religious majority has denied. The powers of life in Christ Jesus are operating within the flesh of mankind to deliver him from the powers of sin and death and bring him out into a new creation, but tradition has blinded the eyes of the people until they cannot see or hear the voice of God!
. The Lord told Abraham that as far as he could see He would give him; Today we have access to see beyond the stars, the moon and all the galaxies into the mystic world of the spirit realm, yet many are dying because they cannot see beyond their own door step! How far can you see , dear friend? Are you being blinded by false religions of tradition and folk lore of a passed age ?
We are not teaching a 'new' doctrine, nor a 'strange' doctrine. What we are teaching is a message of the ages taught from Genesis to Revelations, by the prophets, the apostles and Jesus himself. The whole purpose of Calvary was to bring in the new creation of Sonship, a God-image people to rule the earth!
Why would this seem strange to you who have read the scriptures and compared what we teach to the written Word? Has satan blinded your eyes, has tradition brought you strong delusions which have kept you from the glorious truth of God's purpose for your life? If you do not come to maturity to be birthed out from the church, then you will be aborted out from her like the seed which fell by the wayside, or like the seed which fell among the thorns, or the seed which fell on stony ground!
Think about this , and may God open the eyes of your understanding and reveal Himself to you in His truth. Amen
