Do you believe that we should walk in the fullness of Divine Life in a manner similar to Jesus’ earthly ministry?  Did Jesus express any words which would lead us to believe we are incapable of walking as He walked?  Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 

13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 

14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

The problem is unbelief.  We have been redeemed by The Blood of The Lamb so we have been reckoned as fully righteous in the eyes of Our Heavenly Father.  We now have full legal rights as Sons and Daughters to operate with the same anointing as our Elder Brother, with even greater results.  FATHER is not the reluctant One, the issue lies with us.  Jesus had absolutely no doubt in FATHER’S ability or willingness to act on HIS Word.  Every time Jesus spoke HIS Word, miracles occurred.  Jesus continued:

15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 

16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 

17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 

18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”

Notice that Jesus used the word “another” as He described the Holy Spirit’s ministry.  Both His ministry and the ministry of the Sons and Daughters utilize the same power and authority given to us by FATHER by HIS SPIRIT.  We are fully worthy because of The Blood.  We now have the full legal right to minister as Jesus minstered if we will only believe and doubt not.  Jesus further stated in Mark chapter 11:

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 

23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 

24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

His Words given to Him by FATHER are extremely clear and we need no in-depth word study to figure out what He meant to say.  Simply believe and doubt not.  We must quit looking at the world’s views concerning probabilities and alternatives.  Their information is based on sense knowledge, not revelation knowledge.  Every Word Jesus spoke was revealed by FATHER WHO Loves us and wants us to no longer walk in a restricted manner.  Are we willing to believe?

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

This happens to be the first miracle FATHER performed in each of us when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Just think about this a few minutes.  HE changed our hearts and our outlook in a single moment.  When I received the baptism of The Holy Spirit, another miracle was performed in a very personal and specific manner.  HE is the GOD of Miracles whereas those who promote philosophies and religion have no miracles performed in their midst.

Jesus was accustomed to FATHER performing miracles in His ministry because Jesus only spoke the Words given to Him by FATHER as Jesus stated in John chapter 14:

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

The FATHER dwells in us because HIS Spirit dwells in us.  HE formed us in the womb with the Divine Intent of fellowshipping with us.  We are not to be slaves or servants, but instead we are to be Sons and Daughters.  As we mature, we should expect to work WITH FATHER, not for HIM.  HE meant for us to be in constant communion with HIM just as HE was in constant communion with Jesus when He walked the earth.  Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:

9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

As we take on the mature state of Christ and His anointing, we should expect miracles to be normal occurrences associated with our walk.  We should not be surprised when miracles start happening but give FATHER and Our Lord Jesus Christ the glory.  We must quit limiting FATHER’S flow in us and through us.  HE desires for us to be ambassadors of Jesus Christ with signs following.  An ambassador is an official representative of the Kingdom.  Let us embrace our inheritance and expect FATHER to confirm us to the world.  HE is not reluctant to express HIS Love through us.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Colossians chapter 1:

9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding

If we were not able to be full of wisdom and understanding of HIS will, The Holy Spirit would not have written this message of Love to us.  Since we have been recreated in Christ Jesus, we now have full access to FATHER’S wisdom and understanding by HIS SPIRIT thus we are “Plan A”.  There is no Plan B.

We have been given the full potential to walk totally according to FATHER’S perfect Will now, not some future date.  Men try to move our focus into the arena of hope by predicting some event in the future which will somehow evoke an impartation to turn us into what FATHER has already provided today.  Now is the time for us to embrace and manifest the potential currently residing on the inside of us.

If we begin to walk by The Holy Spirit Who has taken up residence in our bodies, then we will produce similar fruit to that of Jesus when He walked the earth producing good fruit.  Consider what Jesus said in John chapter 15:

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 

6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 

7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 

8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

Does a vine bear fruit?  No, the branches bear fruit.  The vine provides the life to the branches for the specific purpose of bearing fruit.  If a branch does not bear fruit, then it is pruned so that it does not use up nutrients meant for the fruit.  The nutrients of life will then be redirected to the other branches that they bear much fruit.  Every branch has the potential to bear fruit but at some point, fruit must be produced in order to remain else it is purged by fire.

Now is the time for us to be fully committed to bearing fruit.  Quit looking for some future sign which is intended to defer our focus away from the present.  We are to live by faith in Love… now!  It is time to focus on manifesting The Word in us and constantly communing with FATHER through HIS Spirit.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Hebrews chapter 11:

6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

It is time to be diligent and place our full priority in walking in faith.  We have received HIS nature of Love in us which was HIS Divine Intent when HE formed us in the womb.  We have received HIS Nature of faith and we are told we have HIS nature’s full potential to bring forth the Kingdom resident within us.  Let us no longer be misled but embrace this Truth.  FATHER has given HIS Word to reveal this Truth in us.  We are HIS workmanship intended to change this world so let us accept our responsibility and work with FATHER to bring forth HIS Intent.

It is up to each of us to embrace HIS Word and walk in it for we are Plan A, HIS only plan.

In Colossians chapter 2, Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT:

8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 

9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 

10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

Mankind seeks alternative answers to what their senses tell them.  They spend countless hours analyzing data through their senses until they reach a point where the answer is beyond their ability to measure.  This is where their philosophy enters in, attempting to mentally determine the final solution.  Darwin did this when he expounded on his theory of evolution.  He couldn’t measure or fill in gaps of understanding so he simply injected his opinion without any facts or Truth to support him.

We who have received the Holy Spirit do not need to trust in sense knowledge but instead simply trust the Truth in Scripture.  We know the FATHER’S Word is intended for each of us and contains absolute Truth.

Each of us was specifically born with purpose by the ONE WHO originates Truth.  However, FATHER has given us the ability to experience the world around us through our senses.  If we become advanced in sense knowledge without maintaining a strong spirit, we will ultimately defer to sense knowledge for answers to our problems.  Those answers will never truly solve the problems but will only address the symptoms.  Jesus is the true Head of all principality and power.

The world continues to develop sensory enticements to redirect our focus wherever possible.  Who needs 500 cable channels for television?  Why do children want virtual reality over what is real?  Video games have become a huge industry and training people to seek war in a subtle fashion.  Children are becoming galvanized in learning to kill through video games.  In response, schools want to arm teachers rather than deal with the root of the problem.  Jesus Christ is the solution and development of our spirit by focusing on Truth in Scripture will provide the true answers to society’s maladies.

You and I are meant to embrace the life in FATHER’S Word and propagate HIS Word to the masses by word and deed.  We must not be intimidated when the enemy attempts to place obstacles before us.  FATHER is a Love GOD and HE is pleased when we have built up our faith and walk as HIS Son walked in faith.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 6:

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

The shield of faith protects us and the Word is our offensive weapon to deal with the world’s philosophies, ways, and demands originating through sense knowledge.  The problem always begins in the spirit realm before materializing in the physical.  We must focus on building up our Spiritual knowledge so that sense knowledge does not prevail.  This will allow us to see the source of the problem and deal with it at its source rather than simply respond to symptoms.

FATHER spoke in Leviticus chapter 19:

18  Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

The spirit of revenge is a subtle issue among many.  The world promotes a competitive attitude among the people to the point of taking advantage of anyone when given the opportunity.  When someone cuts you off in traffic, how do you respond?  When someone beats you to the open register at the checkout in a grocery store, what rises up?

Professional sports promote dominance among the fans and when the team suffers a loss against a fierce competitor, the fans seek revenge.  The next encounter is often coined a “grudge” match in order to incite the fans.  Where’s the Love?

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 12:

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 

18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 

19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

When we live in Love and peace, our spirit man is not preoccupied with repaying someone who has wronged us.  We have all had our share of events where men and women have done evil things to us, intending to inflict harm in some manner.  We must not allow ourselves to repay them ourselves but allow FATHER to avenge the wrongdoing.  It makes our life simpler and allows us to focus on doing good rather than entering in to evil ourselves.

Jesus had the greatest justification for revenge when He was falsely accused, but FATHER used the situation for our benefit in the end.  He could have called a legion of angels to evoke wrath toward His accusers yet He remained silent.  When we are wronged, let us not allow our flesh to rise up and begin looking for ways to “right the wrong”.  Instead, let Love prevail in our hearts.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 6:

4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 

6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 

7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 

8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 

9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 

10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 

11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Sense Knowledge is an enemy to faith.  When we continually feed our senses, we subtly build our trust and reliance on the world’s ways and methods.  Today’s technology is designed to enslave us and constantly retain our focus.

When we make a decision to focus our attention on Christ and identify with Him, our faith grows strong.  We have been given a Book of Love by FATHER known as the Bible and we should specifically focus on the revelations contained in the New Testament.  Love should be our intent and faith should be our words and associated actions.

Jesus provided us the standard for our walk as well as unfettered access to Our Heavenly Father.  Yes, our old man died with Him at the cross, but now we are a new creation and old things are passed away.  We now have the potential residing on the inside of us to do greater things than we thought possible.

What is keeping us from changing the potential into reality?  The realization that we truly live with Him and are now alive in Christ.  We need to exercise our faith and claim our rights for we now have power-of-attorney to demand the same results as Jesus when He walked the earth.  He gave us this right by His resurrection on our behalf and making us alive with Him.

An aspiring overcomer is one who has been given the potential but not yet fully walking in it.  Until we deal with whatever unbelief is left in our soul, we will remain in this category.  Jesus made this point in Matthew chapter 17:

14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 

15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 

16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”

17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 

18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”

20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 

21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

The difference between our potential and manifesting the maturity of being a Son or Daughter walking in the fullness of FATHER’S Divine Intent, is unbelief.  We must overcome this unbelief by properly directing our focus to what really matters.  It has become clear that these writings are not for the casual Christian but is directed to those who truly want to mature in Christ and become expressions of FATHER’S Love toward mankind.

Faith acts, hope defers to the future.  Those who constantly focus on signs and prophecy will only be observers of what FATHER is doing.  Those who develop their faith will be in the midst of FATHER’S business.  If you constantly focus on signs, the adversary will be happy to steer you away from the walk of faith and keep you as a babe in Christ.  You will be given signs to perpetuate your immaturity and will walk past those in need while you feed your soul with hope only.  

We must walk in faith to overcome the adversary and minister life to those around us.  Hope is like a fruit tree with leaves and no fruit.  It only seems to promise some future fruit which never happens.

Let us embrace our inheritance and be alive in Christ, walking as He walked, ministering as He ministered, and expressing our faith by works.  This is what will establish the Kingdom of GOD on earth. 

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Galatians chapter 2:

20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Jesus Christ became one with us in sin that we may become one with Him in righteousness.  He had no need to go to the cross for Himself but in an act of unconditional Love, He suffered and died for us.  Yet this isn’t the end, He arose from the dead for us as well.  He became one with us in death that we may become one with Him in life.  In order for us to fully mature as Sons and Daughters of GOD, we must embrace the latter aspect of this Truth as much as the former.  We are truly one with Him and as a result we are one with each other.  We are His Body.

Paul also wrote in Ephesians chapter 2:

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 

5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 

6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 

7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

We have been given the expressed right to sit together with Christ Jesus in heavenly places so let us embrace this Truth and take our position without hesitation.  No, we did not earn the right but it was freely given to us out of HIS Love for us for we were formed in the womb for this purpose.  The adversary wants to keep us from taking our rightful inheritance in the heavenlies.

Jesus died to make us live.  He became sin to make us righteous.  He became weak to make us strong.  He suffered shame to give us glory.  He went to hell in order to take us to Heaven.  He was condemned in order to justify us.  He was made sick so that healing would be ours.  He was cast out of the presence of Our Heavenly Father that we would be able to come into HIS presence.

In Jude:
24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,

And to present you faultless

Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

25 To God our Savior, Who alone is wise,

Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power,

Both now and forever.

Amen.

We are truly one with Christ and we must not let any thought convince us otherwise.
