Life OR Death! by Rich Novek . (how to Defuse that Bomb)

Facebook on Tuesday, 16 November 2010 at 19:31

"This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you...LIFE AND DEATH, blessings and curses. NOW CHOOSE LIFE...so that you and your children may live!" (Deuteronomy 30:19)

The "MYSTERY" hidden for ages and past generations (which is Christ "IN" you) gives us the assurance He will never leave or forsake us, and that HIS LOVE is always FULL AND FREE, having no performance based conditions attached!

The preaching of the Cross is still... THE POWER OF GOD!
The Cross is not preached because we live in a day and age where we don't want to offend.

"Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case THE OFFENSE OF THE CROSS HAS BEEN ABOLISHED." (Galatians 5:11)

The message of the Cross is meant to offend! In fact it is meant to do much more than that! The message of the Cross is a message of death to all things!

Death is not fun, convenient, or does it fit well within the parameters of our comfortable Christian lives. Most preaching today is nothing more than "help yourself to get what you want." And the people of God are so hungry for anything that brings life, they have forsaken the ONLY TRUTH, and created an alternative truth.

Today, even the Bible is interpreted according to the lust of the flesh and our love for the world! The message of the CROSS! Not the message of Christian prosperity, Christian morality, or Christian behavior modification! The message of the Cross! And not the old wooden cross, the historical implement where Jesus died His death! The "Jesus Cross" that has become just another idol that we serve and worship! The cross of Christ which is accepted by all... because along with it there is no personal cost attached to it! No!

Paul's message of the Cross was much more personal, much more costly! He spoke of ...his own personal CROSS! The implement of his own DEATH! He understood the blood of Christ and it's saving power for every "whosoever" who would call on His Name! But He also realized there was a second work of the Cross having to do with his own death "IN" Christ! The second work which is the COMPLETE message of the CROSS! And neglecting this message of the Cross is where modern day Christianity loses the ONE THING, which is needed more than anything, in order to impact our society today! THE POWER OF GOD!


For the message of THE CROSS is foolishness to those who are perishing, BUT TO US who are being saved (by it)...IT IS THE POWER OF GOD! (I Corinthians 1:18)

"AS FOR myself, brethren, when I came to you, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony and evidence or mystery and secret of God [concerning what He has done through Christ for the salvation of men] in lofty words of eloquence or human philosophy and wisdom; For I resolved to know nothing (to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing) among you except Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and Him crucified. And I was in (passed into a state of) weakness and fear (dread) and great trembling [after I had come] among you. And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and POWER BY A PROOF BY THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF GOD, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them, SO THAT YOUR FAITH MIGHT NOT REST IN THE WISDOM OF MEN (human philosophy), BUT...IN THE POWER OF GOD! Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away. But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God ONCE HIDDEN<> BUT NOW REVEALED [from the human understanding] TO US BY GOD--[that wisdom] which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification [to lift us into the glory of His presence]."

"NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE OR WORLD PERCEIVED AND RECOGNIZED AND UNDERSTOOD THIS, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory." (I Corinthians 2:1-8, AMP)

The message of the Cross takes our life completely passed us! It's our giving God the "green light" to roll in death on everything we have placed our trust in! Because like Paul, we know nothing else can open to us the thing we desire most, which is SEEING HIS LIFE AT WORK "IN" US!

We are so conditioned to living according to the world and the worlds system, and loving the world and the things of the world, that God has to deal with us severely in order for us to SEE AS HE SEES!



"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice in as much as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for THE SPIRIT AND GLORY OF GOD RESTS ON YOU. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that Name."

"FOR IT IS TIME FOR JUDGEMENT TO BEGIN WITH GOD"S HOUSEHOLD;

and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the (TRUE) GOSPEL of God? And, “if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” ( I Peter 4:12-18)

Give God permission to just touch what is at the center of your life! Let Him touch your position of power or influence, relationships, means of income, or material possesions...and you will immediately see where your TRUE hope and trust lie!

"What is more, I consider EVERYTHING as loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ!" (Philippians 3:8)

The Cross sets us free from all of the "shifting shadows" we falsely place our hope and trust in.

Like Job, we also have to come to that wonderful place...OF LOSING ALL WE SEE, SO THAT...WE CAN SEE GOD ONLY IN ALL THAT WE HAVE!

Then Job answered the LORD:

“I am unworthy—how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more.” (Job 40:3-5)


THEN THE LORD SPOKE TO JOB... OUT OF THE STORM: (Job 40:6)

The storms of life reveal to us a God who truly loves us without condition. Most believe in a God who looks more like a child abuser than a loving Father! If you step out of line, look out! I have learned through embracing the Cross He is ALL LOVE ALL OF THE TIME! Everything He does IS ALWAYS "OTHER LOVE" FOCUSED! In fact, He could never do anything except for OTHERS, or He wouldn't be the Lamb of God, slain from the foundation of the world!



The story of The Prodigal Son is a perfect example of the average believers perception of God. The younger son took all he had and spent it. A symbol of the believer who thinks only of himself and what God can do for him. The older son represents the believer steeped in the "do gospel" of trying to please God. The younger son was deliberately brought to the place of having NOTHING! And it was at this place of having nothing or nowhere to turn, when he was at his end, that he heard the voice of THE SPIRIT! "Perhaps I will go home and be one of my Father's hired servants." So he went home, all the while thinking, "what is my Father going to do to me?" The older son on the other hand, was enraged! "How could you do this for him? What has HE EVER DONE FOR YOU? You never gave me............"

Neither son had a right perception of their Father! Unfortunately, this is also where most believers live their lives!


The "dead letter" preaching of the "do gospel" that goes on today still has all of the condemning... shoulda, woulda, and coulda's attached to it!


In fact, there is the difference! The performance based "DO GOSPEL"... is an it! It is lifeless! The "TRUE Gospel" that brings LIFE...is a PERSON! HE IS LIFE!

Jesus said to the woman, where are those who condemn you? NEITHER DO I, so go on your way in FREEDOM! Just don't continue doing the things that cause you to see more than me! This isn't a story about doctrine concerning sin, but a further revelation of our FREEDOM "IN" HIM!

Romans 8:1 combined with Galatians 5:1 says it all......No condemnation! Set free from the law of sin and death! It's for freedom He made us FREE!


Our own journey is His journey "IN" US! And He wants us to know that we are FREE , no matter in what stage we see ourselves! In infancy, adolescence, or adulthood... our only foundation is CHRIST! So wherever we are we can be at REST, knowing He has taken up our cause...AS HIS CAUSE!

He who began a GOOD WORK, (it is a good work) is faithful (even when we are not) to complete what He has started!

The following liitle known and never taught (at least I have never heard a teaching on it) passage has changed my life!

Paul is saying no matter where you are in life you will not be abandoned, God knows ALL and is working "IN" ALL! So just live your life and do the next thing! Don't get hung up on trying to change things, just surrender and let Him bring the needed change! THIS IS OUR FREEDOM "IN" HIM!

"All of us WHO ARE MATURE...should take such a view of things, AND IF ON SOME POINT...you think differently, that too God WILL MAKE CLEAR. ONLY LET US LIVE UP TO WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY ATTAINED?" (Philippians 3:15-16)

Everything else is just dead letter Christian LAW! "If you do, you will be!"

The exact same lie that was told to Adam and Eve in the garden, we SEE today as Christian doctrine the church can't live without! "If you do, you will be... like God!" But today, it is the same lie, with just a slight different spin! Now it's, "if you do this, you will be... like Christ!"

"For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and...YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD, knowing good and evil." (Genesis 3:5)

Instead of SEEING ONLY GOD IN ALL THINGS, you will now see two, and in seeing two, good AND evil, you open the door for confusion! Thank you very much humanity! Along with confusion... duality and division, separation and strife... are NOW YOUR NEW GODS!

Christlike-ness is SIN!

Only ONE can live the Christian Life, ONLY ONE Can be "like Christ!" ONLY... Christ Himself!

God says, "if you enter into the REST I have prepared for you from the foundation of the world, my Spirit who lives "IN" you, and is teaching you ALL THINGS concerning me... will do ALL OF THE WORK "IN" and through you!



We NOW see the activity of our life, ALL OF IT... as being ONLY God's activity "IN" US! This is not entering into some kind of a catatonic spiritual sleep, the place most believers are living today!



It's where we are finally released from the "do gospel" (which is no gospel at all) which produces only death, and finally enter into the revelation of ...HIS LIFE "IN" US AND AS US!

Life out of death, HIS life out of our death IN Him -- what a beautiful redemption.

If On Some Point - Rich Novek. Matthew,Mark,Luke and John followed by Heavenly Substitution by Pastor Patrick Bwayo

If on some POINT............by Rich Novek on Tuesday, 24 August 2010 at 17:56 Facebook

We have been rescued from the domain of darkness (time) and translated into the (eternal) KINGDOM OF HIS DEAR SON! (Colossians 1:13)



He does not function in time, and neither can we! The purpose of ALL OF THE TRIALS are to take us from this kingdom of sight with all of it's binding limitations........ into THE UNLIMITED KINGDOM OF THE EVER PRESENT SON! What darkness is to light, so is time to eternity, and striving in our own strength is to RESTING "IN" HIM!



The license we once had to operate in time is forever stamped "REVOKED", cancelled in the ETERNAL NOW of who we are "IN" Him! Waiting on God brings all of life to a standstill, and it's there when all hope seems lost we realize we were never meant to live as citizens of time!



"All of us who are mature should take such a view of things, and if on some point you think differently, that too God willl make clear!" (Phil 3:15-16)



This little hidden gem is packed wth POWER and FREEDOM! Look what Paul is talking about in Philippians 3 just before he says this!



That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this ONE THING I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, press toward the mark for the prize of the HIGH CALLING of God "IN" Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:10-14)



"All of us who are mature should take such a view of things.............." What view? The view from the HIGH CALLING, from seeing Only God in this Now! "This ONE THING I DO, forgetting what lies behind, and reaching for what is before me" This is walking in the daily revelation of the ETERNAL ONE! No past, no future, only a life in the "NOW" of the Eternal Day! "And if on some point you think differently, that too..... HE WILL MAKE CLEAR! In other words, when you walk in the revelation, and at the maturity level of seeing God Only, it is an absolute impossibility to be out of the will of God. But that is only true for people who SEE GOD ONLY WITH THE "SINGLE EYE" IN ALL THINGS! The SAME SINGLE EYE which Jesus talked about having in the book of Mathew!



The light of the body is the eye: IF therefore THINE EYE BE SINGLE, thy whole body shall be full of light. But IF THINE EYE BE EVIL (Double, or seeing more than God), thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! (Mathew 6:22-23)



He then very wisely gives an illustration of what the SINGLE EYE IS NOT in the very next verse!



No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Mathew 6:24)



HE WILL MAKE CLEAR! MAKE WHAT CLEAR? Whatever we are not seeing from the High CALLING, the upward call of God "IN" Christ, the wonderful place of "WHERE HE IS, SO ARE WE ALSO!" (I John 4:17)



This is the best part, this can be truly life changing if you SEE what is next! "ONLY LET US LIVE UP TO WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY ATTAINED!" I don't know about anyone else, but this sentence set me FREE when I saw it's true meaning! Paul, who at one time walked in the condemnation of persecuting and killing the people in the church, the same body of believers which he now sees himself as a bondslave to, is NOW at a maturity level where HE SEES ALL IS ONLY GOD REVEALED IN SOME FORM OR EXPRESSION! He is at REST in his "HIGH CALLING VIEW" of seeing God in everything, and everything ordained of GOD!



This is what I call the hinge where the door swings from the condemnation of BEING A DOER FOR God, to finally SEEING OUR TOTAL FREEDOM "IN" HIM AS OUR ONLY LIFE! He is saying in essence, just live your life in FREEDOM, SEEING the Father in ALL THINGS! No longer trying to find the will of God in time, but understanding at this level of maturity, there can be nothing BUT THE WILL OF GOD! All of the condemning shoulda's woulda's and coulda's were ALL ordained by HIM as much as anything else! And because He sees no distinction, Light and Darkness are the same to Him, He was and is causing everything in our lives, ALL OF IT, to work together for good! (Romans 8:28)



NOW, let's read this little POWERFUL gem in Philippians from the "Life Side" of the cross!



"ALL of us who are mature should take such a view of things, AND if on some point you think differently (than Him) THAT TOO He will (TAKE ALL OF THE RESPONSIBLITY TO MAKE IT LIKE CRYSTAL, AS WE REST IN HIS LOVE, SO THAT.........we can SEE AS HE SEES!) He will make clear, ONLY LET US LIVE (by Grace without condemnation) up to what we have already attained (IN HIM)." (Phil 3:15-16)



I hope we can see this in ALL OF IT"S POWER! But it is perfctly OK if we don't............BECAUSE IF ON SOME PONT, WE THINK DIFFERENTLY, THAT TOO, HE WILL MAKE ALL CLEAR............ AS WE REST IN HIS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!

Rich "IN" Christ!

===========================

MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN.
The revelation record of the four Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John about Jesus Christ the son of man (BIBLE WORD as Son of Flesh taught in carnal knowledge) and the Son of God (THE BIBLE, THE SON OF GOD) according to the revelation teaching of the Holy Spirit) ROM 1:1-5, Heb 1.
The Book of Matthew writes about the son of man, the book of Mark writes about the Son of God who has no descendants, The Book of Luke writes about the son of man and the Son of God as the events follow one another in order, the book of John is a recording to clarify who is the Son of God that has lived among us all these years but we have not comprehended who is HE.....the lamb, WORD of God that saves world from sins so that people do not continue to worship copies and veils of heavenly things. The book of John reveals to us that from the beginning no man has ever seen God expect the New Covenant Bible, the Word who is the Son of God (NEW COVENANT BIBLE PRIESTHOOD) who declares Him. Please read the first chapter of each of the four Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to see if these things are so. Also read John 1:17-18.
Let me clarify about who the son of man is by the New Covenant Bible taught by the Holy Spirit. Son of man is the Word, Bible testified in thoughts of flesh that teach/interpret the Bible in carnal knowledge. Son of man is the Bible Word that is transformed from the Holy Spirit form to bear the image of man. The son of man is the original Old Covenant Bible that presents Earthly visible things to this day 2010 which are copies of the heavenly invisible things. The Son of God is the engrafted New Covenant Bible priesthood grafted in the Old Covenant Bible that is taught by the Holy Spirit which declares only invisible heavenly things in souls indwelt by Him. James 1: 18-21.
The teaching of the New Covenant Bible (Son of God) by the Holy Spirit drops fables, genealogies and myths and goes straight to declaration of the KINGDOM OF GOD BY HIS SON: 1 Tim 1:4, Titus 3: 9, Heb 7:3, Mark 1: 1-7, 2 Tim 4:1-4, Heb 1:1-2.

By Pastor Patrick Bwayo.

Heavenly Substitution

Earthly Visible Copies of the Bible seen by natural human physical eyes that veil invisible things of heaven are now being REPLACED/ABOLISHED/SUBSTITUTED by Heavenly invisible things by revelation in the New Covenant Bible and in the understanding of souls but are not erased from the Old Covenant Bible. 1 John 5: 7-8 by KJV Bible.


Hebrews9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us]. 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 9:16 For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 9:17 For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. 9:18 Whereupon neither the first [testament] was dedicated without blood. 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 9:20 Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 9:23 [It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Hebrews 9:11-23
GOD is REPLACING OLD BIBLE HISTORIC EARTHLY THINGS (COPIES) WITH THE REAL PRESENT BIBLE REVEALED INVISIBLE HEAVENLY THINGS. Col 2: 10-23, Col 3:1-16.


Examples:
A) MOSES:
Earthly historical visible Moses, who lead the children of Israel physically from Egypt in Middle East to Canaan is the physical example of the deliverance of God which is substituted by the invisible heavenly Moses, who is revealed by the wisdom of God to be the Old Covenant Bible handwritten in the letter that presents earthly visible things from the Book of Genesis to the end of the Book of Revelation read up to this day 2009 but read carnally by Israel of all global nations. The invisible Moses is revealed to deliver the children of Israel (GOD) from spiritual slavery of worshipping different carnal god(s). The Children of God are enslaved by the carnal “Egyptian” preachers of the Bible up this day 2009 onwards who are figuratively the “Egyptians” or the children of flesh of Agar, the Egyptian. Slaves are born as slaves as result of testifying or witnessing the Old Covenant Bible carnally. The assignment of Moses, the handwritten Bible in letter and the special ministers appointed by God, is to fight progressively the carnal blind ministers of the Bible until Moses hands them to the new High Priest, Joshua (Christ) who is READ to lead them into the promised land of Canaan, which is figuratively the promised new Covenant Bible where they are set free from the carnal worship of the Egyptian gods by waging battle so that they worship the true God by revelation knowledge and wisdom of the Spirit of God that teaches Bible in a new way. 2 Corinth 3: 13-15

B) JESUS CHRIST.


Earthly Historical visible veiling jesus christ an angel who preached 2000 years ago is replaced with the heavenly invisible Christ Jesus who is READ from Genesis to end of the Book of Revelation and is revealed to be the New High Priest called the New Covenant Bible. Heb 10: 1-9, 2 Corinth 4: 1-18, 2 Corinth 3: 13-15, Gal 4: 1-14, 1 John 2:7-8, Isaiah 45: 7-8, 1 John 5: 7-8. 2 Corinth 5:16, Heb 1: 1-2 by KJV Bible.


C) BLOOD SACRIFICE 1 John 5: 7-8. Use KJV Bible to compare heavenly things in verse 7 with earthly things in verse 8.
Earthly Historical Visible and physical Blood sacrifice of 2000 years ago presented by the handwritten Bible that teaches earthly visible things is replaced or substituted by the invisible heavenly “BLOOD” sacrifice which is Holy Spirit which cleanses us our CONSCIENCES from all sin of transgressing the Law of God and worship idol gods presented by teaching the Old handwritten Covenant Bible carnally in human carnal wisdom and knowledge that kills souls. EARTHLY VISIBLE BLOOD SACRIFICE THAT WAS SHED 2000 YEARS AGO FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS IS REPLACED BY THE INVISBLE HEAVENLY SACRIFICE OF HEAVENLY “BLOOD” WHICH IS ETERNAL HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD THAT CLEANESSES OUR CONSCIENCES FROM THE SIN OF CARNALLY TRANSGRESSING THE BIBLE LAW WHICH RESULTS IN WORSHIPPING IDOLS OR SHADOWS OF THE OLD COVENANT BIBLE. HEB 9: 11-23, 1 John 5: 7-8, 1 Corinth 10. Heb 10: 1-9. Col 2:10-23, John 1: 17-18, 2 Corinth 4.By KJV Bible.

Warning: For Mature Audiences by Rich Novak (The original on seeing Only God)

FacebookSunday, 25 April 2010 at 06:18
“All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained.” (Phil 3:15-16 NIV)

As far as I am concerned, this is one of the most powerful passages of scripture in the New Testament! Yet, I have never heard so much as one teaching on it. For the past several years I have meditated and pondered on this passage of scripture and its meaning! I believe the Holy Spirit has opened my eyes to the meaning and would like to share the tremendous impact it has had on me, and what I believe God is saying.

First of all, God is speaking through Paul to people who have reached a level of awareness that goes far beyond the status quo of what we consider maturity in modern Christendom. All of us who are MATURE or some versions even use the word PERFECT! Well, we need to be real here and not religious, and recognize that NOT all of us ARE MATURE! In fact, there are many who, though desiring the “meat”, are not able to digest what God is saying. (I Cor 3:2) This is also one of the reasons why I believe there has been so little said about this particular passage in the third chapter of Philippians!

Maturity is defined by God as seeing past division and separation, including the elementary teachings of the church that Paul talks about in Hebrews, and SEEING ONLY GOD in ALL THINGS!

Seeing Only God in ALL things………… is the mature VIEW Paul is talking about! After all, what is there but God? What “some point” in our lives is not God? So in this place of seeing God in ALL as the ALL, who also fills everything in every way, we also see why this teaching is not for everyone! Let me correct myself, it IS for everyone, just not everyone AT THE SAME TIME (point). The Spirit is the ONE who will WORK to illuminate it in us, through the MIND of CHRIST!

For, "Who can know the LORD's thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?" But we understand these things, for we have the MIND OF CHRIST! (I Cor 2:16 New Living Translation)

“And if on some point you THINK differently.” If we are Seeing Only God, and we recognize He is All there is in every form and expression, than why would we be believe we are doing the THINKING? If you and I have The Mind of Christ, it’s only ONE MIND, HIS! And the only thought He is thinking is the ETERNAL THOUGHT of His Father!

Jesus let’s us know what that ETERNAL THOUGHT is in John 17. “That they may be ONE, even as you and I are ONE!” The ONLY thought the Father has ever had is in reconciling ALL things, including every thought, word, moment person, place, and thing, every past, present, and future to HIMSELF! We have NOW moved into maturity and beyond thinking about what we “need”, to THE ONLY UNIVERSAL NEED THERE IS……..The RECONCILIATION OF ALL THINGS IN HIM!

When Jesus was being baptized, John protested, Jesus said to him this MUST be this way in order to fulfill ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS! He than demonstrated the ministry of reconciliation by having John baptize HIM! When He came up out of the water, the Spirit landed on Him in the form of a dove, symbolizing the SPIRIT (The Worker), who would from that point work in HIM ALL things after the counsel of HIS OWN WILL! (Eph 1:11 NAS)

The first time Jesus spoke publicly:

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed.”

And the SAME Spirit of The Lord is upon US to agree with him that ALL things have been reconciled to God through CHRIST! The ONLY GOOD NEWS is found in SEEING ONLY GOD! The only way the blind can be healed is by SEEING ONLY GOD! The Only way the captive can be set free is by SEEING ONLY GOD! The only way oppression can be gone forever is by SEEING ONLY GOD! SEEING GOD IN EVERY MANIFEST FORM OR EXPRESSION KNOWN TO MAN!

And God is living through US, His BODY, reconciling ALL things to HIMSELF by first allowing us to see “by appearances” all division and separation in every form and expression. In HIS REST, the Spirit is sent out by our Spoken Word to will and to work according to HIS GOOD PLEASURE! We Rest, He Works……….all things after the counsel of His Eternal Will, and ONLY in the Eternal Now! And He does it through those of us who are mature and SEE ONLY HIM in ALL THINGS!

The ONLY MINISTRY, CALLING, MOVEMENT, or LIFE is the ministry of reconciling all things, no matter what or who they are to HIM! Where I used to see fear as something separate from Him, I NOW see fear as HIM......... coming to me for the expressed purpose of my calling it God! Fear, which was seen as separate is now reconciled to God by the Spirit who works in me to will and to DO according to His good pleasure! I used to worry, but NOW worry is the invitation to see it as just another expression of HIM! And instead of seeing fear and worry as separate from Him, I agree with HIM that ALL things, including fear, worry, etc., are reconciled to God, and in doing so remove the dividing wall of hostility! I also "disarm" the power I have given fear, worry, or anything else that has caused me to see these things as separate from Him! I NOW, in HIS REST, SEE everything that crosses my path and beyond, as ONLY God! And the things that I don’t see, He promises to reveal to me as I “ONLY live (in the Eternal Day) up to what I have already attained!” I NOW walk this daily walk in FREEDOM in the ETERNAL TODAY, allowing HIM to reconcile ALL of my life, and what I previously saw as separation and division in myself and others, to HIMSELF! I NOW SEE ONLY HIM IN ALL THINGS!

“And if on some point you think differently” Look at the above passage, notice the two words, VIEW and CLEAR? We see ALL THINGS AS HE DOES and SEE them in PERFECTION…………..but, if at some point we don’t see as He sees, it simply means we are seeing more than HIM! And in seeing more than Him we become “the house divided”, by falsely believing my trial, tribulation, relationship, financial concerns, etc., are somehow SEPARATE from Him! It’s also at that exact “POINT” HE PROMISES TO REMOVE THE “DIM GLASS”, which is a perfect symbolism of our seeing more than Him, so we can SEE ONLY The Perfection in the mirror that He SEES IN US and AS US! And Now we walk in the same POWER because AS HE IS, so ARE WE IN THIS WORLD! (I John 4:17) Sinless, perfect, and the exact representation of HIM in OUR FORM!

“And ALL of this is a gift from God, who brought us (and everything that could ever concern us, past, present, and future……every “point”) back TO HIMSELF through Christ. And God has given us this task: OF RECONCILING (not only people but everything we see as separate) ALL PEOPLE TO HIM.” (II Cor 5:18 New Living Translation)

All of US who are MATURE should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently (seeing separation) that too He will make CLEAR, ONLY let us (who are mature, SEEING ONLY HIM IN ALL THINGS) live up to what we have already attained (by Entering into His REST in the ETERNAL TODAY of WHO WE ARE IN HIM!)

The way I See It......(so far) - Rich Novak

Norman Grubb's explanation of the Father, Son, and Spirit in his book "Yes I am" is awesome! He describes the Father as The Eternal Thought, The Son, The Eternal Word, (or you could say The Eternal "Spoken" Word), and The Spirit as The Eternal Action (Worker or Doer is what I call Him), or The One who adds substance to the Word! The One who Paul describes as both willing and DOING of His Good pleasure IN US! "For it is God (The Spirit) WHO IS AT WORK IN YOU, both to WILL and to WORK for His good pleasure." (Phil 2:13)

The way I see it, we were specifically designed for God's REST (in the Father)! And in that place of REST, where we have ceased from our own works.... WE SPEAK THE WORD (of the SON) by faith! And in doing so...... the Spirit (IN US, and WHO is joined TO US) then goes to WORK, bringing the "SUBSTANCE" to OUR SPOKEN WORD! Because, "AS HE IS SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD!" (I John 4:17)

Anything else is Christian dysfunction, and so we have no other choice than to come back under condemnation (the law of sin and death), which is another way of saying we become "slaves" to seeing separation and division. And under that condemning law, we receive the "punishment" of seeing more than God! That is, until we once again see ONLY HIM in that person, place, thing, situation, feeling, or circumstance! Until we agree with our adversary (who becomes God by our seeing more than Him!) quickly! What Norman calls QUICK SINNING, QUICK CLEANSING! Guilt always demands punishment, and we will punish ourselves if need be....... in seeing separation and division......... in seeing more than God!


"And now we are consciously in our "father" stage, where we have, like Paul, "won Christ", and thus the highest privilege of being leveled with Him as co-saviours."

1 Corinthians 9:22......... To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. "Co-commissioned, co-laborers, co-sufferers, co-diers, co-risers in co-resurrection which with us brings "many sons to glory". (Norman Grubb)


And then there is this little gem tucked away in Philippians chapter 3 that has brought much freedom to my contolling thoughts and ways! I call it a "hinge to freedom", everything swings on it, because it's purpose is to takes us from death to LIFE! From slavery to FREEDOM!

All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if ON SOME POINT YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY (the hinge), THAT TOO GOD WILL MAKE CLEAR TO YOU . Only let us live up to what we have already attained. (Phil 3:15-16) I don't know about you but this little passage brings so much freedom to my soul! It all starts with HIM, and it ALL ends with HIM!

God is saying it is The Spirit's job (or WORK) to save and keep us, and it's also the Spirit who brings the next thing! We just stay yielded! This is so awesome, and what amazes me, in 30 years I have never heard so much as one teaching on Philippians 3:15-16! More than likely because of the first 6 words...... "All of us who are mature." God's definition of maturity is much different than that of organized religion. God's definition of Maturity: SEEING ONLY HIM IN ALL THINGS!

It's taken a few days to really work with the phrase seeing ONLY GOD.
It's something I do ...or aim to do ...instinctively.
That seems presumptious...but think about it. Hundreds of thousands, millions even have been baptised in the Spirit and have been learning over decades to approach God in Spirit and in Truth. I know there are many negatives, but the raw truth is that is what multitudes have been learning and are poised to export onto the streets and towns in the form of
learning the same walk now outside meetings. That's how the third level works. Praise God,it's not done quite like the charismatics think...ie pray for 5 hours, then walk around locked into praise mp3s fed through earphones, lest the evil demonic world grab you and seduce you away.
Thankfully it's easier than that, entering into what Norman calls the Freefall of faith, where we believe on the inside of us what the scriptures say about us...that it is Him as me.

Having got this off my chest, there is nevertheless a series of similar "arcs" of seeing God only going on. This is my comment on Facebook to what Rich wrote.
+++++++++++++++++++
I really appreciate these sessions.Rich obviously gave me a prescreening of this, because we were chatting the other day. But do you notice how because we all see things a bit differently (and here I don't mean wrong and right,I mean God may have spoken to us similar things or similar angles from life experience or different verses) we kind of fire off each other! Now the effect on me as I reread these ideas this morning was this. And I think this is a cracker! Because of the wheels within wheels thing which I mention in Inrtroduction to the third level....this means that God is not only getting our "seeing right" in an arc which involves our lifetime, but the same but tighter circle is going on in every Spirit-filled meeting, in every genuine encounter individually with God or be it in every genuine praise encounter. Now only God can do this say with a meeting. Take a disparate group of individuals of all ages,coming fresh out of a weekful of activities and in the course of one meeting, and with His Presence falling, catch everyone up in One Flow,to one particular end for that one meeting with Him. And I just love that He does this for someone who is one day old just as one 60 years in the faith. How can He do that. Somehow we just get "caught up" in that realm which is the Eternal Now, which is always vibrant,active,doing something,to a purpose, all in an atmosphere of faith, of saying the Word actually in the throne room....which ofcourse must come to pass, cos it's Him. In one session , 29 years ago for example after the serial killer Yorkshire Ripper had scoffed at the police with tape messages of his exploits for two years or more, we were led to declare him caught. Within hours it was so!Totally amazing. But
ofcourse, we never know what God will catch us up in Himself to do. Now every meeting should be like this....and will be, as we learn that our daily walk does not have to be different either. At the moment in the charismatic level, as I was,I'd be leading in a meeting, prophesying, singing a new song, whatever....go out of the meeting and not knowing about the "independent self" switch, click right over into extremes I don't want to mention. I was desperate. But as soon as we "get" this He as us thing, we see Him in everything...or start to....and if we don't as Rich just wrote we have this confidence that God Himself will make it clear to us...not some rulebook. In practice though....get a Body of people walking as Him...we'll soon gently get nudging one another for things we're not seeing straight. I experienced the very first shoots of this (kind of a firstfruits move) from 1978-1984 living in Spirit filled community. A hothouse if there ever was one...except without the fine 3rd level scalpels we tended to bludgeon each other to death with the gift of suspicion.
